The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Wan Lianxing had a cold face, and Cheng Feng could see that he was unhappy. He walked up to Wan Lianxing and said, "Uncle, why did you come back so soon?"

Wan Lianxing said: "There's nothing to see there, except people and dust. What are you doing?"

Cheng Feng said, "My uncle asked me to send some people back to get some spinning wheels and looms. They are all here, including the ducklings that my uncle wanted."

When Cheng Youning heard about ducklings, his eyes widened and he asked, "Little duck, where is the little duck?"

Cheng Feng smiled and said, "Isn't that a little duck in your mother's hand?"

Cheng Youning picked up the cart stool and ran over. "Wow!" There was a cart full of little ducks. Cheng Youning immediately reached his little hands into the flock of ducks and stirred them back and forth.

Shang Xi raised her hand and patted Cheng Youning's arm, "Don't be so rude, you're going to kill the little duck."

"Mom, does this little duck have any idea?"

Shang Xi was busy checking the health of the ducks. When Cheng Youning asked this question, he knew what his son was thinking. "I know. If there is one missing, I will settle the score with you."

Cheng Youning muttered as he reached into the collar of his clothes, then pulled out a lively little duck.

Everyone present laughed. Shang Xi glared at Cheng Youning, snatched the duckling from his hand and said, "Aren't you afraid of the duck pecking at your belly?"

"It doesn't hurt when the duck pecks at you." Cheng Youning consulted Shang Xi, "Mom, give me one."

Shang Xi said: "No, these are other people's ducks."

"Aren't these all ours? When did they become someone else's?"

Shang Xi said: "Your grandfather has made arrangements for these little ducks."

When Cheng Youning heard that the duck belonged to his little grandfather, he was even less afraid. He reached out and grabbed one of his favorite ducks and held it in his hand. The little duck was so scared that it quacked non-stop. He turned to look at Wan Lianxing and said, "Little grandfather, give me one."

Just as Wan Lianxing was about to agree, Shang Xi snatched the duck away, "Cheng Youning, this duck won't survive the next day in your hands. Your hands are too heavy. It won't be happy after you grabbed it without any restraint."

Cheng Youning pouted and said, "It's not as serious as my mother said. There are so many ducks, can't I just take one?"

"No, it's no use discussing it with anyone. We can't raise ducks in this yard."

"The prefect's mansion can raise pigs, so why can't we raise ducks here? Just put them in the small yard where we live." Cheng Youning was not convinced. He just wanted a little duck to play with.

Shang Xi said: "It's hard for us to get water, but these ducks like water more than we do. We have a lot of ducks in our paddy fields. You can go home and play with them."

Although Cheng Youning nodded and agreed not to raise the duck, his little hands were still touching the duckling. When Shang Xi wasn't paying attention, he reached out and secretly pinched the furry little duckling. Then the pinched little duckling made a high-pitched quacking sound, and Cheng Youning also laughed and quacked.

Shang Xi slapped Cheng Youning on the butt and said, "Go play somewhere else and stop wasting your time."

"I don't want to, you won't let me raise it, and you won't let me touch it?"

Shang Xi said: "Are you touching? You are clearly pinching. This little duck can't resist your pinching."

Cheng Youning refused to leave no matter what, and just secretly pinched the little duck. Whenever the little duck quacked, he would laugh along with it.

Shang Xi had no choice but to discuss with Wan Lianxing, "Uncle, we need to take these ducks away quickly. If Cheng Youning keeps doing this, several of them will die soon."

Wan Lianxing also realized that Cheng Youning would not leave unless the duck was taken away.

"This is for Brother Li's village, but they probably can't raise so many. Give the rest to other villages."

Cheng Feng said, "It's the village near the mountain where we went hunting last time."

"Correct."

"How many looms and spinning wheels do they want?"

Wan Lianxing said, "That village is not big, with only eleven households. I don't know how many women can use this. Bring a few more, and you can bring the rest back."

"Uncle, will you come with us?"

Wan Lianxing shook his head, looking uninterested. "You and Shang Xi should go there in person and tell them how to raise and breed ducks. We can't always provide them with ducklings. It's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Go ahead."

Cheng Feng pulled Wan Lianxing and said, "Uncle, come with us. You've always wanted Shang Xi to go out with you. Today, he and I will go with you."

Wan Lianxing rolled his eyes at Cheng Feng, "Why are you so filial today?"

"We have always been very filial to you, right? Let's get in the car." Cheng Feng helped Wan Lianxing get in the car, and then said to Shang Xi, "Shang Xi, you get in the car first and talk to your uncle."

"Oh, here it comes."

As soon as Shang Xi turned around, Cheng Youning ran away. He asked Cheng Feng: "Did your son leave with a duck?"

Cheng Feng smiled and said, "I didn't see it."

Just as Qiao Rong was about to stay, Shang Xi grabbed him and asked, "Did Cheng Youning catch a duck and run away?"

Qiao Rong stammered, "I didn't see it clearly...I really didn't see it clearly."

Shang Xi asked Hong Yunrang again, "Yunrang, you don't lie and you are sincere. Did your brother catch a duck and run away?"

Hong Yunrang didn't want to betray Cheng Youning, but he couldn't hide it, "Not just one."

"How many are those?"

Hong Yunrang said, "My brother caught one with each hand."

Shang Xi stamped her feet in anger, "Cheng Youning——"

Cheng Feng came over and pulled her aside, saying, "Just give him two and take good care of them."

"He doesn't need to be raised at all. He just wants to play with him. He will kill you in two days."

Cheng Feng said, "He won't be coming back anyway, so if he likes them, just give him two. You can get in the car and talk to your uncle first."

"Oh."

When Shang Xi got into the carriage, she saw Wan Lianxing sitting there alone, without even fanning himself. No one knew what had made him angry.

"Uncle, where is Wong Tai Sin? Why isn't he with you today?"

"Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month. I went to the temple."

"He is a fake monk who has returned to secular life. Why does he keep going to the temple?"

Wan Lianxing said: "I also want to know why. If you don't want to go, just go, but don't take me with you."

"Is there a temple in Mochun County?"

"It seems that there are two dilapidated temples. The Buddha statues seem to have been destroyed. There is no incense burning anymore."

"What is he going to do?"

Wan Lianxing said: "Mingming said that he wanted to rebuild the temple in my name."

"Hey, is this what my uncle meant? Didn't you just pay for the renovation of Lingchen Temple? Why are you building another temple here?"

"Haha, maybe it's what I meant. By the way, you are alive again."

"No way? What kind of work did my uncle assign to me again?"

Wan Lianxing said, "Look at you, what are you afraid of?"
