After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

A few days later, Qin Yan accepted Wei Qinglin's invitation and attended his birthday party.

In fact, Wei Qinglin is still young, and generally no one at this age insists on celebrating his birthday.

However, Wei Qinglin said that when he was born, his family asked a fortune teller to tell him that he would have a disaster this year, so they held a birthday party to make things better.

He has known Qin Yan for such a long time, so naturally he would not miss Fang Nanzhi's invitation. The brother and sister took the time to prepare a gift for him, intending to give him something new.

Ever since they entered the academy, Wei Qinglin has taken care of them a lot, both openly and secretly.

Although with the abilities of the two siblings and the teacher's high regard for them, no one in the academy dared to mess with them except the short-sighted Liu Minghui.

But Wei Qinglin really treated them as friends.

Especially when there is something good, he always thinks of Qin Yan. Rather than being classmates, they are more like good friends.

Fang Nanzhi held his chin, and the brother and sister were checking the system.

"Brother, I still think this robot dog is really good. Doesn't Brother Qinglin like it?"

Qin Yan shook his head. "I think this thing is interesting, but it doesn't look like something from here, unless it can be disguised."

Fang Nanzhi scratched his head. "It's hard to disguise something this big, right? Can we make a wooden one like we did with the rocking chair last time?"

Qin Yan went to the space to ask the technology teacher, and the technology teacher replied that there was a wooden dog, but it was almost completely different from the mechanical dog. They still planned to give it a try, and things made by hand were quite meaningful.

The two siblings both had strong execution abilities and started working as soon as they said they would. First, they found some wooden boards and made them different thicknesses on one side. Then, they drew the shape of each piece of the robot dog on the boards and cut them out.

Purely handmade, this process is a bit troublesome, especially for Qin Yan. He must grasp the size of each part. In addition, he also needs to prepare wooden sticks or bamboo sticks and small wooden blocks of appropriate length and thickness.

The most difficult part is of course the clockwork in this mechanical dog, as well as the small parts that connect these various components.

Use a saw to cut out the general shape of the dog's body, head, limbs and tail, and then polish them according to actual needs.

After the wooden boards are made, drill holes at the connection points between the limbs and the body so that wooden sticks or bamboo sticks can pass through to connect and move the joints. Insert the wooden sticks or bamboo sticks into the drilled holes in the limbs and the body, and fix them at the joints to ensure that the limbs can swing flexibly.

If you want the robotic dog to be able to walk, you also need to install screws and nuts at the joints so that the joints can rotate, or use rubber bands to simulate muscles and tendons to provide power to allow the limbs to swing.

Just doing all this took the brother and sister a lot of effort.

But they were surprised and enjoyed it. They found that making such things was a good way to pass the time and gave them a sense of accomplishment.

The things inside were so detailed that they even used some gears and a lot of rubber bands. The two siblings had no idea what it would look like when it was finally completed.

Fang Nanzhi was not good at the detailed parts, so her brother completed them. She was responsible for the larger parts and was also good at splicing them together. She even added some color at the end.

After making this wooden dog, her brother has been talking to the science teacher a lot these days. I don’t know where his Ren and Du meridians have been opened up, and he is immersed in reading again.

When Fang Nanzhi saw her brother holding a book, she ran out. Her brother was working so hard.

Comparing the two, if her father saw her playing, he would inevitably say something to her. She was no longer the perfect daughter in her father's mind, and she was afraid of comparison in everything.

On the day of the Wei family's banquet, Qian Fengping dressed the brother and sister in new clothes and asked Fang Tong to send the children to the Wei family.

The brother and sister entered the Wei family with gifts. The Wei family's house was not small, comparable to the house built by Old Zhou in their village. The front and back yards were large, and there were many houses.

Wei Qinglin was there to greet them at the door himself. When he saw Qin Yan and the others coming, he immediately took two steps forward, called his family members out to help him welcome them, and then pulled Qin Yan in and called the maidservant with him.

"Take my sister Nanzhi to the backyard and let the little girl play. Take good care of her." He gave a few instructions, and the maids led Fang Nanzhi to the backyard.

Entering the backyard, there are many flowers planted, all of which are in bloom at this time. There is also a very thick tree, which looks quite old.

There is a stone table and stone bench under the tree, and a little girl is sitting there chattering about what kind of beautiful flowers are around.

"Hey, what kind of flower is that? It's a rose, right?"

"I like the white one. What kind of flower is that white one?"

Fang Nanzhi leaned over to take a look. The Wei family had quite a lot of flowers, and roses and peonies were all in bloom.

She has been going up the mountain frequently to collect herbs recently. Many flowers can be used as medicine, and she knows a lot about them.

In addition to these, there are also poppies and gardenias in the yard. Speaking of which, the tree in the yard is a locust tree, and it is the season for it now.

"It's sister Nanzhi!"

As she was looking, a little girl came up from behind her. She was pretty and had big eyes.

"I just saw you come in from the front, so I came over. I'm Wei Sihui, and Wei Qinglin is my brother. I know you don't know anyone in our family, so I'll accompany you."

"Okay, can I call you Sister Sihui?"

To someone she met for the first time, Fang Nanzhi seemed particularly well-behaved and cute.

Wei Sihui liked her the moment she saw her and took her hand: "Okay, I'll call you Sister Nanzhi just like my brother does. Sister Nanzhi, let's sit over there!"

Fang Nanzhi nodded and followed her, looking curious.

"Has Brother Qinglin ever told you about me?"

"Yeah, he always talks about you and your brother. My dad always says that even though I met you for the first time today, I've heard a lot about your story."

Wei Sihui brought Fang Nanzhi to the group of little girls, and immediately many of them took the initiative to chat with her.

Wei Sihui specifically mentioned that she was studying in a college and was also learning medicine. Many young girls were very interested in it. They learned to read and write at home, either from their fathers and brothers, or from teachers hired by their families.

When I heard that she was so young and was actually studying in an academy, I couldn't help but come up and ask her a few more questions.

"You are in the academy, so which teacher are you following? Is it Master Wei?"

"Who are you studying medicine from? Is it the doctor in our county?"

It was bustling here, but not everyone came over to talk. There were also many girls at the other end of the yard looking at this side but not coming closer.

They had just heard about this and wondered who Fang Nanzhi was doing. But when they heard her say that she lived in Mushan Village, they realized that she was just a peasant in the village. There was no need to make friends with her.
