"Brother~"

In the small courtyard, Chen Erya wiped Chen Pingan's body distressedly.

Chen Pingan wanted to wipe it himself as usual, but the little girl insisted on helping.

"Nannan, brother is fine. He just looks a little scary."

Chen Pingan smiled and comforted.

"Yeah. I know, but seeing brother like this, I still feel distressed."

The little girl wiped carefully with a cloth.

"Nannan, don't feel distressed, martial arts is like this. Compared with many people, brother's point is nothing at all. Brother works hard to practice martial arts just to let us all live a good life. For a good life, we all have to work hard! In the future, brother will be responsible for practicing martial arts, and Nannan will be responsible for watching and cheering brother. How is it?"

Chen Pingan coaxed Chen Erya like coaxing a child. However, speaking of it, she is still a child at the age of nine.

"Yeah." The little girl nodded.

"Brother, I know. Daddy said before. Only those who endure hardships can become superior people. Brother is suffering now, just to become superior people in the future."

"My daughter is so smart!"

"......"

This night passed quickly in the conversation between the brother and sister. Early the next morning, Chen Pingan began to practice the iron shirt with a new training method.

Half an hour can increase 1 point of experience. After two practices, it is only a little more than the previous one.

Go to the office on time and attend the pre-office meeting. Two heads came today, Huang and Li.

One day passed quickly in the fun conversation with Houtou Dashan. This day's patrol was safe and sound.

When I went home in the evening, Chen Erya had almost finished the meal. Today, the little girl was generous. She not only bought beef, but also mutton.

The mutton came out of the pot, fragrant and delicious, making people salivate.

Chen Pingan asked Chen Erya to fill a bowl, and then went out to deliver it to Uncle Zhang's family.

People sent sand and gravel without charging, so Chen Pingan naturally had to give something in return. This is a very simple principle of getting along with neighbors.

When Chen Pingan delivered a large bowl of mutton to the door, except for Uncle Zhang's son Zhang Tieniu, the rest of Uncle Zhang's family was there, and it seemed that they had just finished their meal.

Three dishes and one soup, and there were also a lot of meat.

Compared with the surrounding neighbors, Uncle Zhang's food level is very good.

Uncle Zhang's son and daughter-in-law help in the kitchen of the restaurant, and they can bring back a lot of kitchen oil and water on weekdays.

Chen Pingan stated his purpose, and Uncle Zhang waved his hands repeatedly.

"Brother Chen, how can this be done!"

"Uncle Zhang, take it. I just cooked some mutton at home, and I thought you could try it too."

Chen Pingan said with a smile.

"This is too much! Just take half."

The little kid in Uncle Zhang's family stood aside, looking at the mutton eagerly. The mutton smelled delicious, and even after eating, I still felt hungry.

"Uncle Zhang, take it all, it's also a little bit of thought."

"Well... okay." Looking at his grandson next to him, Uncle Zhang finally agreed.

"Brother Chen, come sit at home for a while." Uncle Zhang's daughter-in-law invited with a smile. Uncle Zhang's daughter-in-law Cuilan was big and round-waisted, and looked very wealthy.

"No." Chen Pingan smiled and waved his hand.

After exchanging a few pleasantries and changing the bowl to serve the mutton, Chen Pingan left Uncle Zhang's house.

"Brother Chen, you are really polite..."

Looking at the full bowl of mutton, Uncle Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes." Aunt Zhang also agreed.

This bowl of mutton is full, if it is shallow, it is not a problem to divide it into three bowls.

"Brother Chen eats official meals, so he is particular!" Daughter-in-law Cuilan also added.

"Father-in-law, I should go out too. Brother Niu is still waiting for me!"

Cui Lan and Tie Niu are helping in the kitchen of the restaurant. This is the busiest time. If there is nothing going on at home, she will not come back at this time.

......

Chen Ping'an came out of Uncle Zhang's house and walked all the way home. When he was halfway, he happened to see a door of a house ajar.

This is Old Pan's house!

Old Uncle Pan's family in the alley still owed them half a tael of silver.

When Old Chen was still alive, Old Pan's son was getting married and needed money, so even though Old Chen was seriously injured, he still lent half a tael of silver.

Later, even though Old Chen would rather borrow usury to help Chen Ping'an with temporary errands, he did not ask Old Uncle Pan's family to pay back the money.

Now, Old Chen has been dead for more than half a year, and Old Pan's family has borrowed this half tael of silver for almost a year. It should be paid back. But Old Pan's family did not mention it at all.

Normally, it would be fine. But now, Chen Pingan has paid off the fourteen taels of silver owed, and the family savings are exhausted. In addition, he is now practicing martial arts, so he needs to eat meat every night, and his life is tight for all kinds of expenses.

Returning this half tael of silver can also ease the living expenses.

Half a tael of silver is five cents, a full five hundred coins. But it is his monthly salary for more than half a month.

"It just happened to be a coincidence. It's better to do it today than to wait for a day."

Chen Pingan thought so, and knocked on the door of Old Pan's house.

Old Pan's family is not bad in the surrounding area, and they are even pretty good. They just borrowed some money for their son to marry a wife.

"Who is it!?"

A woman's voice sounded from inside the door.

"Aunt Pan, it's me, Chen Pingan."

After Chen Pingan's voice sounded, there was silence for several breaths in the room. Just when Chen Pingan was about to push the door open and go in, the sound of the door sounded.

"Peace, come, come in quickly."

The room opened and it was Old Pantou who spoke.

There were several people sitting in the room. It looked like they had just finished eating and were sitting to rest.

Old Pantou, Old Pantou’s wife, and his son and daughter-in-law. The daughter-in-law's belly was swollen, and she was obviously pregnant.

Aunt Pan's face looked a little ugly, and the face of Old Pan's son Xiao Pan also looked a little unnatural.

"You're here safely, have you eaten?" Old Pantou greeted with a smile.

"Not yet." Chen Pingan responded with a smile.

"Ping'an come here now, is there something wrong?"

Old Pantou asked.

"It's something. Uncle Pan is like this. A few days ago, Uncle Pan's family borrowed half a tael of silver from mine. I'm here to ask Uncle Pan to return the money."

Chen Ping'an got straight to the point.

He observed that as soon as he finished speaking, Aunt Pan's face became even more ugly.

"So that's what happened." Old Pantou didn't expect that Chen Pingan would speak so directly. "Well, Ping An, this happened quite suddenly. Let your Uncle Pan think about it."

Chen Pingan smiled and said slowly: "Then please think about it carefully, Uncle Pan. Don't worry, I will wait here."

Old Pantou really didn't expect that Chen Pingan would react like this. He thought that as soon as he said these words, the other party would leave first. Seeing that Chen Ping'an was waiting here and not leaving, he said.

"Okay, Ping An, you go back today and wait until your Uncle Pan has thought it through."

Old Pantou's words were perfunctory and he didn't mention the money he owed at all. The meaning was self-evident.
