Chapter 28 The Deaf Old Lady Makes the Best of a Mistake

Just as the merchants were discussing in the house, two more soldiers came to the gate of the yard. After asking the third uncle, they went straight to the deaf old lady's house in the backyard. They knocked on the door and entered the house. They came out within two minutes and left without stopping.

At this time, the deaf old lady's face was livid in the room. She picked up the water cup and was about to throw it to the ground, but after thinking about it, she put it down again. She rolled her eyes, adjusted her mood, picked up her crutches and walked out of her room with a smile on her face.

I came to the yard, slowly walked to the place in the middle yard where the aunties were chatting, and sat on the side pretending to bask in the sun.

One of the ladies saw the old lady and asked, "Old lady, I saw two soldiers go to your house just now. What happened?"

The deaf old lady squinted her eyes and answered nonchalantly, "Hey! That's my son's comrade-in-arms. Come and see me!"

The aunties looked at each other and didn't say anything. In fact, they all knew that who would come to visit the mother of a comrade-in-arms without bringing anything, and they left within two minutes of entering. However, they didn't dare to say anything. What if it was true?

After a while, the weather started to get warmer, and the deaf old lady went home on her crutches.

Within a few days, word spread in the yard that the deaf old lady's son was a rabbit, and that the old lady had even made straw sandals for the rabbit, and the rumor was becoming more and more true.

This has nothing to do with merchants. The principle of merchants is that if you don’t provoke me, I will ignore you.

Time flies, and it's the weekend in a blink of an eye. After having breakfast at Shangjia, He Yuzhu accompanied Shang's father and mother to the street to buy raw materials for lunch. By the way, after that day, He Yuzhu and He Yushui had dinner at Shangjia, and slept at home. He Yushui no longer slept with Shang's mother, but slept in the same room with Shang Xue.

More than an hour later, Mr. and Mrs. Shang came back. As soon as they got home, they took the children with them and left. They said that He Yuzhu and Wobo had already sent the things they bought to Mr. Shang's master's house. Then everyone quickly packed up and set off to the old man's place.

When they arrived at the old man's place, they found that He Yuzhu was already busy in the kitchen, and there were several women helping to wash vegetables and so on.

Mr. Shang brought his mother and the children to meet the old man and introduced them to each other and several fellow apprentices.

After chatting for a while, I found out that the old man was an old friend of Shang Peng's grandfather, Mr. Liu. Shang's mother had also come to the old man's place in the past. Shang's father's master's surname was Wang, and he had a nickname called Wang Sanquan. It doesn't mean that the old man only knows three punches, but that there are very few people who can take on the old man's three punches, so he is called Wang Sanquan.

When Mr. Wang heard that Mr. Liu had passed away, he was very sad.

After chatting for a while, Shang's mother went to help in the kitchen, and the younger children were taken away by the children of Shang's father's brothers to play somewhere else.

When it was time for lunch, there were seven large tables, but some people couldn't come, so they had to come to two tables. This was only possible in the summer when they could eat outside. In the winter, there would be no room inside the courtyard.

He Yuzhu was exhausted. During the meal, Mr. Wang even thanked He Yuzhu, which made He Yuzhu embarrassed. Everyone also said that they would ask him to cook when he became a chef. He Yuzhu had already booked a group of loyal customers before he became a chef.

The eldest senior brother came in a hurry during the meal. He didn't drink any alcohol. He just met everyone, ate something in a hurry and left. But the second senior brother came back in the middle of the meal. The second senior brother was Mr. Wang's son-in-law. He didn't move out and lived in the master's house with his wife.

Mr. Wang's two sons have already started their own families, but they are too busy and he rarely sees his parents once a year, so the old man drove both sons away and only left his daughter and son-in-law by his side.

The second senior brother is the director of the Sijiucheng Meat Processing Factory. He usually doesn't have much to do and doesn't interfere too much in the factory's affairs. This time, a director had something urgent to do, so he was sent on a business trip.

He was very happy to see Shang's father this time. Among their fellow apprentices, the eldest brother was very strict and would beat people if anything happened. The second brother was a good guy and always protected everyone, while Shang's father was a troublemaker and he had to be there whenever something happened.

The eldest brother was engaged to a girl in his early years, but because of their ideals, the two broke up and there has been no news from the girl since then. The eldest brother has been single ever since and has devoted himself to his career.

After the second senior brother and the younger junior sister got married, they have been taking care of their master at his home. They have a boy and a girl. The girl is the older sister who is already married, and the boy is the younger brother who is currently serving in the military. However, I heard that he will be discharged and return home soon.

I won’t introduce the other brothers one by one.

The meal lasted from noon to after three in the afternoon. The eldest brother had left long ago, and Old Master Wang had gone into the house to rest. The men in the yard were still drinking, the women were sitting together chatting, and the children were playing and chatting together.

Fortunately, there are two big crabapple trees in Mr. Wang’s small courtyard. The whole yard is under the shade of the trees in summer, otherwise people would be sunburned to death.

After the meal, several women cleaned up their things and packed up the leftovers for each of them to take home. People nowadays don't lack food, even Shangfu and his brothers who have enough food at home wouldn't despise the leftovers. Everyone has been through hard times, so no one despises anyone else.

On the way back, Mr. Shang drank a little too much and praised He Yuzhu. In the end, Mrs. Shang couldn't stand it anymore and scolded Mr. Shang, which made the children laugh.

When they got home, Shang's father went to bed and fell asleep. Shang's mother took care of him. Shang Liang and He Yushui were tired because they had played with the new kids for a long time. He Yuzhu was also very tired because he had cooked for the whole afternoon. So everyone didn't stay any longer and went back to their rooms to sleep.

Shang Peng returned to his room, thinking that nothing was wrong, and ran into the space farm.

When we arrived at the farm, we saw that the crops and vegetables were ripe, and the fruit trees had grown a lot taller. However, some vegetables were too ripe, which affected the taste, so we had to keep them for seeds. These crops and vegetables were not the first batch to be planted, and they were all growing freely in the designated land.

The livestock on the grassland are no longer just the pair at the beginning, but there are groups now. I thought that since I haven’t been to the farm for so many days, they are not breeding in groups anymore.

Shang Peng also saw the system's incarnation of a dragon playing with livestock on the grassland, so he called the system over and started chatting with it.

Finally, the system lost its patience and said to Shang Peng: "Host, tell me what's going on. You haven't come in for several days, and you've been talking to me about nothing. What's the matter with you now?"

"Haha... If you don't say that the system understands me best, then do you think my farm should be managed intelligently?"

"You're thinking shit..."
