Chapter 288 One Slip Up

ling.Tonight is probably going to be a restless one.I hope he overthought it.Zhao Yi and Zhao Er, upon hearing the news, hurriedly emptied their bags of dry food and jerky. They couldn't wait to roast...Zhao chuckled dismissively, thinking her husband was joking again. Changing the heavens What kind of heavens could he possibly change

Will it rain if it's overcast That'd be great.

In the end, Tie Zhu still obediently went back to change into a cleaner and more presentable set of clothes. The whole family cleaned up and arrived at Fang Jinxiu’s doorstep.

The Mu family had been waiting at the door for a long time. Seeing them arrive, they warmly invited them in.

When Village Head Wang saw Mr. Qin looking terrified, he couldn't have been more courteous.

The status of scholars is very high in the hearts of the people, especially those like Mr. Qin who are knowledgeable and dedicated to teaching and educating others.

Who in the nearby villages doesn't know Mr. Qin Back then, if he hadn't returned to town and opened another school, these little children from several villages wouldn't have had any place to study. They wouldn't have been able to change their lives.

Therefore, Wang Zhuang's attitude towards Qin Chongyan was even more polite than his attitude towards Mu Shi, the head of the family.

"Village Head Wang, please don't be so polite to me. Now I am just a humble guest living under someone else's roof. Being alive is already a blessing. You can treat me just like any ordinary person, there's no need for such formality."

Although Village Head Wang kept nodding, his attitude remained respectfully polite. Some thoughts are deeply ingrained in one's bones, especially the respect for scholars.

It's not something that can be changed in a short amount of time.

Seeing the situation, Fang Jinshu hurried out to smooth things over, "Everyone, don't just stand there, please sit down."

"Well, our table at home was quite small and couldn't accommodate so many people eating together. Zongyu wanted everyone to have a pleasant dining experience, so he hastily made this large table."

"The wooden planks are makeshift, don't mind them, please have a seat."

Village Head Wang was beaming with joy. The invitation to a meal wasn't just any ordinary dinner; the host had gone above and beyond, preparing an extravagant feast with a specially made large table for them to enjoy their meal comfortably.

To be treated with such care, who wouldn't be happy to be a guest

Just when everyone was having a great time, getting along well and the atmosphere was very harmonious, there was actually someone who spoiled the mood. She wasn't in a good mood herself, and she found Fang Jinshu and her family's smiles on their faces very irritating.

This person has no one else but Zhao Ru Fang.

The fish hot pot on the table was bubbling merrily. Fang Jinshu had put a small stove under the iron pot so she could have vegetables cooked in it.

In the very center of the table, Zongyu dug a hole just big enough to fit the iron pot.

This time, Fang Jinshi didn't use the mountain spring silverfish. Those fish were too rare; there were only two large ones left in the Spirit Spring, and the rest were just little fry. It would be a long time before they grew big enough to eat.

The two large carp, which are a male and female pair, cannot be eaten for now. She hopes to breed them in the future as she plans to raise many of these delicious silverfish with tender flesh.

She and Zongyu later took Zongbai and Yulian to bathe in the Cold Spring. They accidentally found several more fish in the crevices of stones in a shallow stream outside the mountain stream, so they caught them all and brought them back.

These fish are rather common. It seems that the kind of mountain stream silverfish would require very high water quality to survive.

Only the water in the cave can raise it.

Now the pool has become their family's bathing holy land, and the silver fish inside have long been caught by her.

Last time I went swimming, I didn't even see a shadow of Fang Jinshu's silver fish. It's a real pity.

Even if this fish hotpot is made with ordinary fish, the taste is surprisingly fragrant. Coupled with the various dishes placed around the table, both meat and vegetarian options are available.

Tie Zhu drooled, he couldn't wait any longer to eat it.

Just as the Mu family was about to start eating, Zhao shi suddenly snorted from the side, then pointed at the pile of raw vegetables on the table and said angrily.

"They're all raw, how can people eat this Does your family just let guests bite into things raw"

"There's a table full of vegetarian dishes, and the only meat is a pot of smelly fish. It's so stingy to invite people over for dinner like this; they don't even have enough meat to put out several plates."

The smile on Fang Jinxiu's face instantly faded. Not to mention her, almost everyone put down their chopsticks and looked at Zhao Shi.

She saw everyone staring at her, and her son was tugging at her sleeve frantically under the table.

"Mom, what are you doing" Tie Zhu really seemed to have hit a wall, relaxing for a moment, and didn't even notice his mother letting her speak!

"What are you all looking at me for Did I say something wrong"oked to her like a car navigation system with the night mode on, not hindering her walk at all.Even walking this road into the mountains, I felt like I was getting more familiar with it.Gradually, Fan...
