A car accident, our family of three crossed

Hang Shuheng looked at Zhou Ting with admiration and said with a smile: "Brother Zhou Ting's thoughts coincide with mine."

In fact, he had this idea a long time ago, but there were too many ideas in his mind and he had not had time to implement it. It was Zhou Ting who brought it up today.

The two looked at each other, smiled knowingly, and then started an in-depth discussion about this idea that had not yet been implemented.

At the Hang family, Zhou Ru was talking to Song Ning about the idea of ​​an autumn outing, saying that it was Mei who proposed it and wanted to invite the two of them to join.

As soon as Zhou Ru heard that they were going on an autumn outing, she couldn't sit still. Taking advantage of the fact that her father and brother were going to Shangtang Village today, she squeezed into the carriage and came along.

"Sister Mei said that we haven't had a chance to get together since we met. She wanted to treat us to tea a while ago, but unfortunately, Sister Song, you have been having a lot of problems."

"Now that July has passed, August is a good time for an autumn outing. What do you think? Sister Song, go ahead!"

Song Ning couldn't resist Zhou Ru's invitation and finally nodded. She had nothing to do anyway, so it would be nice to go out and have some fun.

Seeing that she agreed, Zhou Ru immediately smiled and said, "It's settled then. The date is set for three days later. I'll come pick you up in three days."

"No need, I'll just go directly to wherever we meet. You don't have to make a special trip just to pick me up." Their family now has a horse-drawn carriage, so they no longer need to wait for someone to pick them up every time.

"Okay, then let's gather at the city gate."

The autumn outing was finalized.

Near noon, Mudun ran home and took the rabbit cage and left. Shuisheng saw him after finishing his work and asked, "Mudun, where are you going with the rabbit cage?"

"Brother, I'm going to Uncle Hengzi's house." Mudun answered while running, but he stopped after a few steps, then ran back holding his stomach and handed the rabbit cage to Shuisheng, "Ouch, my stomach hurts so much, I need to go to the toilet, brother, can you help me send the rabbit to Sister Xianghuan? I have promised to give it to her."

Shuisheng didn't think much about it and took the rabbit cage easily. "Give it to Miss Xianghuan?"

"Yes, yes! She came to the village with Sister Zhou, and is at Hengzishu's house." Mudun said, and then he hurriedly urged, "Oh, I have to go to the toilet, you go quickly, if you are late, they might go back to the county town, don't let them think that I don't keep my word."

After he said that, without caring whether Shuisheng agreed or not, he turned around and ran towards the toilet.

Shuisheng was carrying the rabbit cage, feeling somewhat helpless. He glanced in the direction of the toilet, sighed, and finally went out carrying the rabbit cage.

Just as he walked out of the door and not far, Mudun tiptoed out of the toilet, ran to the front yard, and looked out by leaning on the door.

Sun Qinglai came over and saw Mudun's look. He walked behind him curiously and looked outside with him, but he didn't find anything worthy of his furtive look.

"Mudun, what are you looking at?"

The sudden voice from behind scared Mudun so much that he started to shudder. "Brother Qinglai, you scared me to death." He patted his chest and complained.

"You are the one who is so absorbed in what you are looking at. What on earth are you looking at?"

"Nothing, nothing." Mudun chuckled twice and ran away.

He walked slowly on the road, not in a hurry to go to the Hang family. He wanted to let his elder brother and Sister Xianghuan spend more time together.

On the other side, Shuisheng had already arrived at the Hang family. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Song Ning and Zhou Ru sitting in the yard talking, while Xianghuan was squatting on the side playing with the cat with a cat toy.

"Shuisheng is here." Song Ning was facing the gate. As soon as Shuisheng came in, she noticed him and greeted him with a smile.

Shuisheng smiled innocently and greeted them, "Aunt, Miss Zhou."

On the other side, the tabby cat, which had been happily chasing the cat toy just now, seemed to sense an external breath. It suddenly arched its body and jumped towards Shuisheng.

"Hey! Xiaoli, why did you run away?"

Xianghuan chased after him and saw the tabby cat with its fur standing on end. It growled at the rabbit cage that Shuisheng was holding and breathed out warnings from time to time.

"Wow! What a beautiful rabbit." Xianghuan was immediately attracted by the rabbit in the cage. She moved closer and asked naturally, "Is this for me?"

"Uh, yes, it's for you." Shuisheng responded blankly and handed the rabbit cage to her without noticing anything wrong.

Xianghuan took the cage without thinking much about it. Mudun said he would give her a rabbit, so it was reasonable for Mudun's rabbit to be given to her by his brother.

But her question was asked without any context, which inevitably made the listeners think too much, such as Song Ning and Zhou Ru.

The two couldn't help but look at each other. Why did these two people look like they were doing something fishy?

Song Ning knew something, but Zhou Ru looked at them with suspicion, her eyes full of gossip.

"This gray rabbit is so pretty!" Zhou Ru stood up and walked over to look at the rabbit for a long while, then squinted her eyes and looked at Shui Sheng, and asked bluntly: "Tell me, why did you give my Xianghuan a rabbit? Do you have any feelings for her?"

After these words were spoken, Song Ning immediately held his forehead with his hand, not knowing how to comment.

The two parties were obviously stunned for a moment, and then their faces turned red as they realized what was happening.

"No, no, I, I, that was..." Shuisheng was at a loss, trying hard to explain something.

"No? Are our incense rings not good? Not worthy of your love?" Zhou Ru narrowed her eyes dangerously.

"No, no, no, no, no, Miss Xianghuan is very good... No, no, I, I, I didn't mean that, I meant..." The more anxious Shuisheng became, the more difficult it was for him to say, and he felt that whatever he said was wrong.

"My lady, what are you talking about! This rabbit was given to me by Mudun, not by him." Xianghuan blushed, stamped her feet in embarrassment, and glared at Shuisheng, "Who cares if that idiot likes it?"

After saying that, she picked up the rabbit cage and ran away. That idiot couldn't even speak clearly, which caused the young lady to misunderstand and blame him.

Shuisheng was at a loss when he saw that the girl had run away in anger. How could he say this? It was wrong to say he liked her, and it was wrong to say he didn't like her either. In short, no matter how he answered, it would be wrong.

"Ms. Zhou, you misunderstood. Mu Dun suddenly had a stomachache, so he asked me to help him deliver the rabbit."

Seeing his silly look, Zhou Ru couldn't help but feel playful and wanted to tease him more, "Misunderstanding? So, you think little of our Xiang Huan? You are really blind."

Why is this happening again? Shuisheng felt like he had lost all desire to live. How could he answer such a question about death? His face turned red.

Seeing this, Song Ning came over to help him out, "Okay, Sister Ru, stop teasing him. If you keep talking, smoke will come out of his head."

After being rescued, Shuisheng looked at Song Ning with gratitude and said to them very quickly: "Aunt, Miss Zhou, I have something to do in the workshop, so I'll leave first." After that, he slipped away as fast as if his feet were greased.

Mudun walked slowly and finally arrived at the gate of the Hang family, but he saw his brother running out from inside like a gust of wind, running very fast.

"Brother, what's wrong with you? Where are you going?"

He walked into the gate with doubts, and when he saw Song Ning, he asked, "Aunt, what happened to my eldest brother?"

Song Ning just smiled and said nothing, but Zhou Ru complained: "Your elder brother is a coward."

"Nonsense, how could my elder brother be a coward?" Mu Dun retorted seriously.

Zhou Ru teased, "Oh, brothers are different! They really protect their children."

Mudun ignored her and walked towards Xianghuan who was playing with the rabbit under the eaves.

"Sister Xianghuan, do you like this rabbit?" When he got closer, he found Xianghuan's face was red, and asked in surprise: "Sister Xianghuan, why is your face so red? Is it from the sun?"

He thought that there were so many clouds in the sky today that the sun rarely came out!

Before Xianghuan could say anything, Song Ning and Zhou Ru burst into laughter, making her face even redder.

"Miss, Madam Hang, you, you, I'm not going to pay attention to you anymore." She stamped her feet fiercely, turned her head and looked at Mu Dun angrily, "I want to ask you, you wanted to give me a rabbit, why did your brother, that idiot, send it to me?"

"Uh, I, I have a stomachache." Mu Dun felt a little guilty, and then he seemed to realize something, and said with wide eyes: "Did my elder brother make you angry?"

"It's you who made me angry."

Mudun was a little confused by the yelling. He didn't do anything! He just came late on purpose.

It must be that his eldest brother, that idiot, did something to make someone angry, and he was implicated.

Thinking of this, Mu Dun didn't dare to stay and endure Xiang Huan's anger, so he turned around and was about to run away. He walked towards the gate and said to Song Ning, "Oh, auntie, Hengzi told me to tell you that he and Manager Zhou won't be back for dinner later. They're going to eat in the workshop. You don't have to cook too much. I'm going to eat in the workshop too. I'm leaving now."

After Mudun left, Zhou Ru was still not going to let Xianghuan go and continued to tease her, "Oh! Girls can't be kept when they grow up. As a young lady, I'm afraid it won't be long before I have to start preparing my dowry."

"Miss, you, you are so annoying..." Xianghuan felt that she was almost too embarrassed to face anyone, but the young lady kept making fun of her like this.

"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore." Zhou Ru stopped teasing her, but walked over to her, took her arm, and said seriously: "But tell me the truth, do you have any thoughts about that idiot? If you do, I promise that I will tie him up and make him your husband."

"Oh, Miss, why are you still talking!" Xiang Huan almost covered her Miss's mouth with her hands, "I don't have any idea, who would like that idiot!"

"I understand. Our Xianghuan would never like that idiot!" Zhou Ru continued along with her words, but when she mentioned the word "idiot", she deliberately emphasized it.

Song Ning was drinking tea leisurely beside them, watching the master and servant laughing and playing, just for fun.

Someone is still a child himself, but he is already worrying about another child's life. It is too early to worry about it.

Song Ning shook her head helplessly, feeling a little amused. She should just continue drinking tea! Those were not things she should worry about.

For lunch, Song Ning simply prepared a few side dishes, and everyone, regardless of master or servant, sat at the same table and ate lunch.

Over at the workshop, Hang Shuheng took Zhou Huan and others to visit the kitchen, then they found a shady place, set up a table casually, and ordered a table full of dishes from the kitchen.

Two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes and a soup, and the staple food is white rice or steamed buns, which is more than enough for them.

The head craftsman, Master Yan, ate with them, and from the moment he sat down at the table, he kept praising the food in the workshop.

"I have been traveling all over the country for many years. I have been to many places, taking on all kinds of jobs, and working for all kinds of bosses. I have never been to a restaurant where the food is as good as here."

He pointed to the people sitting at a long table not far away and said, "We eat meat every day, every meal, and it's only been a short time. Look at those people, every one of them is so fat."

"Even my belly has gained weight, hahaha!" Master Yan patted his newly grown belly and laughed.

"Everyone is doing physical work every day. Eat more and eat better so that you have the strength to work." Hang Shuheng has always been generous when it comes to eating and drinking. "Just eat some meat and fish. It doesn't cost much. No one can lose money, but we can't let the hard-working people suffer. Don't you agree?"

"Yes, yes, what Hang Tongsheng said is right, you are an honest person!" After Master Yan praised Hang Shuheng, he did not forget to criticize the shopkeeper Zhou, "When we worked for your uncle Zhou, the food we ate was not even half as good as what you have here."

"I say, you old idiot, even eating meat can't stop your mouth, how come you are slandering others?" Zhou Huan scolded with a smile, not paying attention to the joke. They were all old acquaintances, and joking was not a big deal.

Zhou Huan and his party ate and drank their fill in Shangtang Village, and did not return to the county town until the afternoon.

Xianghuan finally got what she wished for and brought back a rabbit. She held the rabbit cage in her hand all the way and was reluctant to let go, for fear that the rabbit would be damaged by the carriage if she put it down.

In the evening, several families came to the Hang family one after another, expressing their desire to send their children to the Hang family to learn skills.

Even the Sun family and the headman's family came with their children.

Everyone had similar ideas, thinking that whether Uncle Chai taught three people or a group, it was the same. The head of the village even suggested that Uncle Chai set up a martial arts troupe in the village, and any family who sent their children to learn kung fu would have to pay a tuition fee.

When Auntie Sun heard this, she agreed with him, "The head of the village is right. We should pay the tuition fee. We can't let people teach us for nothing."

When the others heard that they had to pay a tuition fee, they immediately persuaded many families to give up. They came here to ask Uncle Chai Wu to teach their children, but they never thought about paying a tuition fee.

At this point, the head of the village had said so much that they were too embarrassed to say anything more. After staying for a while, they took the children and left.

Seeing this, the village head shook his head helplessly, "These people! They just love to take advantage of small gains. If I don't mention the tuition, I'm afraid they will all be thinking of letting Brother Chai teach for nothing."
