Zhao Guocheng glanced at Zhao Shisheng, and immediately seemed to see through his little thoughts, and smiled.

"It's okay, you can sell it later." Zhao Guocheng shook his head.

"Uncle Zhao, you don't have to be like this because of me. I have something else to do anyway. I'll go and do it for a while. When you finish selling, I'll come back to find you and go back together. How about that?" Azhi thought of something and said immediately.

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Azhi." Zhao Guocheng nodded with a smile, thinking that Mr. Azhi was very sensible.

Then he took Zhao Shiying from Azhi's arms.

Zhao Shiying was still babbling and waving her hands, as if she was saying goodbye to Azhi.

Azhi smiled, touched Zhao Shiying's head, and then left.

Zhao Guocheng then started the first business of the day.

Although it opened late, business was good and all the food was sold out in an hour.

Azhi just happened to come over at this time. Zhao Guocheng's family was on the ox cart, Azhi and the servant were on a horse carriage at the back, and the group headed towards Guxian Village.

......

When he arrived at the village, Azhi found it quite lively, with people everywhere. One family seemed to be having some happy event and were holding a banquet.

Azhi looked outside curiously.

As soon as Zhao Guocheng arrived here, he was stopped by the villagers.

"Guocheng, there's a wedding going on at the Zhao family's old house today, and you're still going to the market? Have all the bamboo shoots been sold out?"

"There's no other way. The bamboo shoots can't be kept. They will become old if kept any longer. I don't bring much today. I want to sell them out early and come back." Zhao Guocheng said modestly.

"That's true. Then you should drive the ox cart back home and come back to help. There are still several tables that haven't been prepared." someone said.

"Don't worry, it's still early for dinner, and help will come soon."

Everyone was talking in a flurry of words.

Zhao Guocheng nodded to everyone and headed towards the end of the village.

Someone asked who was in the carriage behind.

Zhao Guocheng just said a few perfunctory words.

The end of the village.

"Is this your home?" Azhi was curious. It looked like a farmhouse, and it was all thatched houses. It looked sturdy enough that people wouldn't get hit if they were inside.

"Yes, we bought the house." Zhao Shihui said proudly.

Azhi nodded and saw Zhao Shihui's pride.

"Okay, don't embarrass yourself. I've seen everything. I'm tired of living in a brick house. Don't look down on our thatched house." Zhao Shisheng patted Zhao Shihui on the head.

"Brother, you're going to make me stupid." Zhao Shihui frowned in dissatisfaction and dodged the second blow.

"Hey~~ It's good that you got beaten silly, silly brother." Zhao Shisheng said and walked away with a smile.

Zhao Shimin carried Zhao Shiying to the kitchen, brought out some warm rice porridge, and started feeding her.

Azhi still knows etiquette.

"Uncle Zhao, I didn't buy anything expensive when I came here. I just bought these. Don't mind." Ah Zhi signaled the servant to bring down two portions of cakes, a basket of pork belly, a basket of eggs, a basket of duck eggs, and three pieces of cotton cloth of different colors from the carriage.

"Oh, this is unacceptable, Master Azhi. Why did he buy so many things? I can't accept them." Zhao Guocheng was shocked.

In fact, these were not bought by Azhi. Azhi asked his servant to buy them because he didn't know what to buy.

"Uncle Zhao, you're welcome. If you don't accept me, I won't have the face to stay. In fact, I want to stay at your house for a few days and play more with sister Ying." After saying this, Azhi lowered his head embarrassedly to hide his blushing face.

"It's only right for you to stay, but don't buy so many things. They're too expensive." Zhao Guocheng waved his hands, really shocked.

"Uncle Zhao, you'd better accept it. Otherwise, I won't feel comfortable eating and living in your house for free." Azhi said embarrassedly.

Zhao Guocheng had no choice but to help take the things in.

Zhao Shihui was really captured by Azhi's trick.

"Brother Azhi, you are really rich." Zhao Shihui said what was in his heart.

Their family had been busy for several months but was reluctant to spend a piece of cloth to make new clothes. If it weren't for their grandmother's love, they would still have no new clothes to wear.

I didn't expect Azhi to have so many things at once.

Zhao Shihui was shocked by this heroic spirit.

His original indifferent attitude towards Azhi now became much more serious.

When Zhao Shisheng came out and saw this scene, he was also stunned.

Can a carriage be so full? Can it hold so many things?

"No, no, when you go out, you have to bring some money with you. These are just a little token of my appreciation. Consider it my gift to express my friendship with your family. It's my first visit, so I have to bring some gifts!" Azhi smiled and blinked.

Zhao Shihui laughed and thought Azhi was quite funny.

Zhao Shisheng felt a little unhappy when he saw the two of them flirting with each other and chatting happily, but considering the large number of gifts, he didn't say anything.

"There's no need to spend so much money. After all, we farmers don't have anything good to treat you. It's just simple food, and we're worried that you won't be used to it." Zhao Shisheng was polite and tactful.

"I've already bought it, and I won't be using it, so there's no need to say more. I'd be very grateful if you two brothers could take me around for a few days and help me see the surroundings." Azhi smiled and bowed, acting like a young master from a wealthy family.

"It's my duty, but are you sure you are older than me?" Zhao Shisheng smiled and then asked.

"I'm ten years old." Azhi smiled. He was a little taller than Zhao Shisheng.

"Okay." Zhao Shisheng shrugged. He was nine years old and indeed older than him.

"Come in quickly, don't stand in the sun, come in and drink some water to quench your thirst, otherwise you will get a heat stroke." Zhao Guocheng called several children to come in.

At this moment, the atmosphere between the children seemed to have changed.

There is no longer anything wrong with calling her Zhao Shiying, things are much more harmonious now.

A few people went in to drink water and rest. After that, Zhao Shiying also ate her fill as she had been hungry for a long time.

"You guys play at home for a while. I'm going to help out at the old house. I'll come back and call you when it's time for dinner. Shengzi, Huizi, please entertain Master Azhi well. Do you understand?" Zhao Guocheng looked at the two children seriously, fearing that they would fight out of ignorance.

"I understand, Dad." The two brothers said in unison.

Zhao Guocheng nodded at Azhi and left.

"What happened to the old house? Is there any happy event?" Azhi asked. The old house he was referring to should be the place that was very lively before.

"My third uncle passed the imperial examination and is hosting a buffet at the old house today to treat the villagers to a meal. You are lucky to have met him today. Let's go eat meat together later." Zhao Shihui explained.

"Haha...Okay, then I'll bring a small gift?" Azhi felt that he could join in the fun.
