"Uncle Liu, you are too polite, I am just an ordinary countryman."
Chen Youcai made a rare modest statement, but Liu Wanwan who was sitting across from him smiled and said, "Although this kid Yichen comes from a wealthy family, he has good character, so he won't care about such things."
The implication is that "You, Chen Youcai, are really not worthy of making friends with him, but the other party doesn't mind"...
Chen Dazhuang listened to everything, and couldn't help frowning slightly, and said: "When will you be able to treat your family's Yuanyuan, how come I don't know about it?"
"It's nothing, just sent some medicine over."
Fearing that his father would find out, Chen Youcai quickly winked at Liu Wanwan and changed the subject.
"Did Yuanyuan hold a wedding?"
"Come on, it was an engagement ceremony a few days ago, and everyone in the city likes it."
Liu Wanwan said cheerfully: "The official wedding time is set after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and both of you, father and son, will have to come."
"Okay, I will definitely go, please Uncle Liu say hello to Yuanyuan for me."
Chen Youcai stood up and sent Liu Wanwan out the door, and then secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
In all fairness, he doesn't really like dealing with delicate girls like Liu Yuanyuan.
Before helping her treat the strange disease, firstly, it was for the sake of Liu Wanwan's face, and secondly, it was to complete the mission of virtue and get goodness and merit points.
Thinking of this, Chen Youcai stood under the eaves of the main room, feeling rather lost.
Counting the days, since the last killing mission was completed, he has not triggered the merit mission for more than half a month.
Without quests, there would be no good points and merit points to be credited... Looking at the 34 merit points left in the merit book, Chen Youcai panicked.
"How did you know Liu Wanwan?"
Chen Dazhuang took a sip of the cold boiled water, walked over to look up and down Chen Youcai with a scrutinizing gaze, with a rather surprised expression on his face.
"His daughter almost fell ill and died before, and wanted to find a son-in-law to come to celebrate... Then, he fell in love with me."
With a wry smile, Chen Youcai roughly explained what happened.
In order not to embarrass his father, he deliberately concealed that Aunt Wang had come to the door many times.
"Hmph, what age is it, and you still think about the old feudal society... No matter how rich you are, you are still a guy who is obsessed with ghosts."
Chen Dazhuang shook his head speechlessly, and told Chen Youcai to stay away from people like Liu Wanwan before going out to Zhao Xiaolin's courtyard.
It has been raining heavily in summer recently, and the roof of Zhao Xiaolin's house often leaks, and Chen Dazhuang has helped fix it several times.
Watching his father's back disappear outside the courtyard gate, Chen Youcai fed the fish and chickens with corn grains. Having nothing else to do, he simply called Zhao Xiaolin and went to Zhangjia Town together.
Now the food stalls have been demolished, and a new food court with a large area is being built.
The two of them stood far outside the construction site, watching the workers staying up late and working overtime under the glare of the lights, feeling quite emotional.
The once-dirty roadside stalls and sheds are gone, replaced by neat and orderly shops and clean and hygienic areas.
The weather was hot, and there were many people enjoying the cool air on the street. A group of aunts even danced in the square. Chen Youcai became interested and smiled at Zhao Xiaolin, "If you're fine, you can bring Aunt Xu to dance together."
"Chen Youcai, are you courting death?"
Zhao Xiaolin's brows stood on end, Qiong's nose crooked in anger, and she said with a dark face, "Hmph, my mother is so young that she won't mix with these old men and women."
"People will grow old one day, and that's up to you."
Looking at those leisurely and content square dancing aunts, Chen Youcai sighed with emotion.
Zhao Xiaolin turned her back and didn't want to talk to anyone, so he had to smile wryly and drag her to the milk tea shop to bleed a lot, and finally made this little aunt happy again.
On Saturday morning, Chen Daqiang, who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, knocked on the courtyard door excitedly, urging Chen Youcai to wash his face and brush his teeth quickly so that he could catch the first bus bound for Shifang County.
"Young people are just moaning. If you miss the game, can you live up to the expectations of your parents?"
Chen Daqiang reprimanded him with his hands behind his back, as if he was a big leader.
While Chen Youcai was washing up in a daze, he first deliberately went to the chicken coop under the eaves to see the big rooster rolling its eyes.
Afterwards, he happily squatted by the small fish pond, grabbed a handful of corn grains and sprinkled them into the water.
With a crash, two big crucian carp with golden scales turned over and grabbed food.
There are other big and small crucian carp fry around, and they are also scrambling to catch the corn grains that have fallen into the water with their mouths open.
"..."
Chen Daqiang was dumbfounded, this thing is actually a crucian carp, why is it different from what he remembered? ?
"Talented, what on earth are you feeding chickens and fish?"
Chen Daqiang couldn't help but turned around and asked Chen Youcai, really curious about how this kid bred these weird things.
"Just raise it like this, otherwise what else can I do?"
Chen Youcai spit out the toothpaste froth, and said with a smirk, "I actually don't have much farming experience, I'm just crossing the river by feeling the stones."
"After all, I have read the book. Knowledge is power."
Chen Daqiang stood up, said something with his hands behind his back, and then urged him.
Finally let Chen Youcai carry the big rooster in the small chicken coop and go out after 5 minutes.
Calling Zhao Xiaolin, who had cleaned up, the three of them and one chicken rushed to Zhangjia Town in the refreshing morning breeze.
The county-level selection contest for this agricultural exhibition is scheduled to be held at one o'clock in the noon.
Teams from major towns in Shifang County gathered together, and the competition was extremely fierce.
I took the bus to the People's Square of Shifang County. At this moment, the venue for the selection competition had been properly arranged, and crowds of melon-eaters began to appear around.
It was only ten o'clock in the morning. With a wave of his hand, Chen Daqiang took Chen Youcai and the two of them to order a bunch of food at the nearby Shaxian snack shop.
"Little brother, you are also here to participate in the selection competition of the agricultural exhibition, which village are you from?"
The proprietress was a rich woman with a round face. She quickly brought the meals for Chen Youcai and the others to the table, and even took a second look at the small chicken coop under the table.
I have to say that this big rooster with colorful wings is really eye-catching.
The other diners in the store also looked over and pointed at Chen Youcai and the three of them.
"We are the representative team of Chen Family Village."
Chen Daqiang waved his hand and said with a smile: "This is a specialty of our village, called, called..."
In the middle of speaking, he was a little stuck, and couldn't help but glared at Chen Youcai.
"This is a colorful chicken with bright and beautiful wings, which has high ornamental and edible value."
Chen Youcai secretly suppressed his laughter, and quickly rescued Chen Daqiang in a serious manner.
I don't know if the big rooster in the small chicken coop understood the four words "edible value". Hearing this, he clucked and screamed twice, and seemed quite dissatisfied.
"Wouldn't it be some rare wild protected animal?"
"I think it looks like it. It has to be handed over to the Yamen."
"Hey, mind your own business, if something goes wrong, someone will take care of them..."
A low-pitched discussion came from the neighbors, making Chen Youcai and the others speechless.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the proprietress also gave a dry laugh, and hurried back behind the counter, twisting the waist of the bucket.
"Chen Youcai!"
It is normal to be misunderstood, after all, there has never been a big rooster that can grow into this kind of virtue naturally...
Chen Youcai didn't pay much attention to those discussions.
He was about to bury his head and talk to his fans, but behind him suddenly came a delicate and quite familiar voice.
