Chapter 164 Homecoming

  Song Dong's heart warmed, and he said with a smile: "Uncle Wang, I used to not be afraid of sleeping on the street alone, but now here there are walls and doors, and I am even more afraid. You don't need to worry about me."

Hearing this, Wang Zhuangzhi patted him on the shoulder, noticed that his collar was frayed, and said, "Okay, then you can make up your own mind. I put ten taels of silver on the table in your room, and treat it as an advance payment." With your wages, you can buy two sets of clothes and eat whatever you want, if you want to live in the pharmacy, if you don’t open the door for two days, you should lock the door earlier, and don’t open the door to strangers.”

   "No, Uncle Wang, I don't want your money." Song Dong turned around and ran to find the money.

   "Song Dong!"

Wang Zhuangzhi hurriedly grabbed his arm, and said helplessly: "You child, it is said that it is wages. Uncle Wang is not familiar with medicinal materials. In the future, he will rely on you in the shop to eat and drink well, take good care of himself, and help Wang. Uncle earning a lot of money is better than anything else."

  Song Dong knew that Uncle Wang wanted him to accept the money, but the more Uncle Wang behaved like this, the more he felt indebted.

  Wang Zhuangzhi looked at him, smiled and patted the back of his head, "Don't feel pressured, you are earning money based on your ability, and others don't know the medicinal materials if they want to earn it. You are just being true to yourself, kid."

  Song Dong's eyes were a little swollen, he nodded vigorously and said, "Thank you Uncle Wang, I will definitely do a good job."

   "Okay, let's go back quickly, it's getting late, we'll go first."

  Wang Zhuangzhi carried Jiaojiao into the carriage, and Jiaojiao lifted the curtain and waved to Song Dong, "Goodbye, brother Song Dong~"

  Song Dong wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeves, waved his hands vigorously and said with a smile: "Goodbye!"

  Wang Zhuangzhi drove away in the carriage and waved to him, "Go back."

   Song Dong looked at the leaving carriage, although his eyes were a little wet, but this time his heart was warm.

  …

   It normally takes three hours from Dazhen to Qing'an Temple. Jiaojiao saw that it was getting dark, so she used some spiritual power on the horse, and returned home within two hours.

  Nevertheless, when the father and daughter arrived home, it was completely dark.

  Liu Zhihua had already prepared dinner, seeing that the head of the house hadn't come back, she was about to put on some clothes and go out to have a look.

   Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, he saw the father and daughter coming back at the gate.

   "Hey, what are you father and daughter doing? You went out early in the morning and only came back now."

  Liu Zhihua stepped forward quickly, took Jiaojiao from the head's arms, touched Xinganbao's cheek with the palm of her hand, and immediately muttered: "Look at you coming back from the dark, your little face is icy cold."

  Jiaojiao never felt cold. Hearing what Mother said, she stretched out her little hand to touch her cheek, and said in a waxy voice, "It's not cold."

   Seeing this, Liu Zhihua smiled and kissed her pale face, "I haven't seen my baby all day, but I miss you so much."

  Jiaojiao hugged her mother's neck and said with a smile, "Jiaojiao misses her too."

  Wang Zhuangzhi looked at the mother and daughter and smiled helplessly. Thinking of the major events accomplished today, he immediately raised his head and said, "Mother, I have something nice to tell you."

  Liu Zhi was all focused on Jiaojiao, so she responded casually: "Jiaojiao must be hungry, hurry up and eat first."

   After finishing speaking, Liu Zhihua carried her daughter to the second entrance courtyard.

  Wang Zhuangzhi was waiting for someone to praise him, but he didn't expect the lady to ignore him. He scratched the back of his head, and hurriedly followed.

  Xiao Li saw his father coming back, and went around looking for something delicious.

   "Xiao Li, Dad didn't buy anything today, I'll buy it for you another day." Wang Zhuangzhi smiled and patted his head. He had been busy all day and didn't care about buying anything.

  Xiao Li pouted in frustration, "Okay."

  Erya saw that her father's mouth was pouting so that she could hang a rice bag, and she came over to hug Jiaojiao, angrily not wanting to talk to her father.

  Wang Zhuangzhi looked a little puzzled, smiled and went up to touch her shofar braid, and asked, "Erya, what's the matter, have you been scolded by your mother?"

   Erya snorted softly, "No."

   "Then what's wrong?" Wang Zhuangzhi looked helplessly at his wife.

  Liu Zhihua chuckled, and explained: "I think we didn't call her in the morning, but this girl planned to go to the town to do business and sell fish today."

  Wang Zhuangzhi laughed when he heard that, "So that's what happened."

  Jiaojiao looked up at her sister, and said in a waxy voice, "Don't be angry, sister, today we found a restaurant to sell your fish."

  Erya was taken aback when she heard that, but she didn't care to get angry and hugged her younger sister happily and asked, "How many did you sell?"

   "Well, there should be a lot, anyway, it can be sold for a lot of money." Jiaojiao couldn't say a few items, because the shopkeeper only gave them away, and didn't say how many items.

Er Ya heard that she was very happy, and the unhappiness of the day disappeared in an instant. She hugged her sister and kissed her hard, and said happily: "Sister, I know that my baby is thinking of my sister, so I sold my sister's fish so much." gone."

  Liu Zhihua heard about it, looked at the head of the house and asked in a low voice: "Jiaojiao really sold those fish?"

  Wang Zhuangzhi nodded, smiled triumphantly, and deliberately sat down to eat to whet his wife's appetite.

   Liu Zhihua saw his virtue, put a bowl of soup in front of him, and muttered: "Look at the one who gave you to the cow, if you have the ability, don't talk about it."

   After finishing speaking, Liu Zhihua sat down with the children in her arms, and An, who scooped up soup and picked up vegetables, arranged for the children to eat, and was not in a hurry at all.

  Wang Zhuangzhi choked when he saw this, he had no choice but to take a sip of the soup, and took the initiative to talk about what happened today.

  Hearing that the gold shop in the town was too dark and almost deceived the bracelet, Liu Zhihua's calm expression became a little more flustered.

  Wang Zhuangzhi coughed lightly when he saw this, "In the end, I wasn't deceived. After thinking about it, I went directly to Ancheng. After all, the place is big, and there are countless jewelry shops to choose from."

  Liu Zhihua breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't want to hear the scary stories he was telling, so she directly asked the result, "Is the bracelet sold or not?"

  Wang Zhuangzhi ate a piece of meat between his fingers, nodded while chewing and said, "It's sold, for 1,200 taels."

   Click!

  Liu Zhihua's bowl was unsteady, slipped and hit the table, and half a bowl of soup spilled on the floor, but she didn't care to clean it up, staring excitedly at the owner and asked: "Is it really sold for 1,200 taels of silver?"

  Wang Zhuangzhi nodded with a smile, patted his chest and said: "I have all the bank notes in my pocket, so there can be fakes."

   "Hey, I thought I could sell it for a hundred taels, but I didn't think I would just turn it over a dozen times. Amitabha, God bless you!"

  Liu Zhihua's face was flushed with excitement, and Erya clapped her hands happily when she heard that, and said excitedly, "That's great, our family has made so much money again."

  Xiao Li was also happy to hear that he was making money, and while having fun, he ate two big pieces of meat with his chopsticks, and said with bulging cheeks, "Well, we will be able to eat meat every day in the future."

  Wang Zhuangzhi has already gone through this excitement, because the more important thing is yet to come.
