Chapter 219 The Laziness of Farmer's Lucky Baby 2nd Sister 25
"Go and invite them!"
"Such delicious noodles should be given to him as a sign of respect."
Xia Yisong laughed along with his family, realizing he had indeed lost this round, so he might as well admit it!
"Big brother, so you really like sweet and sour flavors." Xia Youqing said in disbelief. "I thought second brother was kidding me, I almost made it into a spicy soup!"
"belch."
"Yes."
Xia Yisong patted Xia Yibo on the shoulder, and the two of them sparked a tacit understanding.
"Just say that I understand my eldest brother best." Xia Yibo hummed a lighthearted tune as he prepared to invite his great-uncle.
He'd already won a round, and now he was practically strutting around like a madman. Hehe, my second sister's idea was really good.
After Xia Yibo left the kitchen, the group began to eat the original version made by Xia Youqing.
The broth is made with lard, and the noodles are distinct, chewy, and delicious. They are cooked to different textures depending on the person.
Xia Youmi and Xia Youtian both ate softer food, and their soup base was the same sweet and sour flavor as their older brother's.
"Big brother, why do I never see you eat much?" Xia Youqing was a little confused. Ever since she took over the kitchen, she had gradually figured out everyone's preferences and then took turns giving them special attention.
Unlocking a hidden flavor today has really piqued my curiosity.
"Because all three of you like this."
Xia Yisong pointed to the three sisters, then slightly curled one corner of her lips.
"Oh! I see! Big brother is letting his sister have her way!" Xia Yiliu chimed in from the side, even putting on an extremely admiring look and pounding her chest.
I wanted to give up my beloved spicy food, but after looking around, I found that no one else liked it.
He immediately lowered his head in shame.
But Xia Yisong's expression was clearly different. His lips twitched, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face. If Xia Youmi hadn't been so observant, she probably wouldn't have noticed.
He was about to explain when Xia Yibo, who had just returned, interrupted him:
"certainly not!"
"Is the eldest brother afraid that if his preferences are the same as his younger sisters', he won't be authoritative enough if word gets out?"
"You brat! Come on, let's go outside and have a go!" Xia Yisong's veins slowly bulged as he restrained himself, grabbed his second brother by the collar, and dragged him outside.
"Hey! Big brother, why are you getting so angry?" Xia Yibai's funny expression and smug smile were the biggest source of provocation.
"Serves him right, how could he ruin the eldest brother's dignified image?" the third brother said sarcastically from the side.
Then Xia Youmi retorted, "Third Brother, whose side are you on today?"
Xia Yiliu then remembered that she had been chosen by her second brother and had to help him outshine her eldest brother for the next two days. Even though she was an undercover agent, she couldn't quit.
So he tried to salvage the situation by saying, "Second brother is right! How can you steal your sisters' noodles!"
Well, that's how rumors are born.
......
It continued until dinner time.
The old uncle was helped to the door by Tian Likun, holding an envelope-like object tied with a red ribbon. At first glance, it looked somewhat similar to the situation yesterday.
They all looked at the envelope with increasing vigilance.
They were afraid that something else might happen that would break up the family.
"cough!"
"Did you tell the boss?" Tian Dinglan asked Xia Liangjun and his wife first, then waved the letter in her hand.
"Not yet, Uncle. We're just waiting for you to start the meal. Let's eat first and then talk." Tian Chaoyu first invited him to take a seat, and then called for them to prepare to eat.
Perhaps they sensed something was off.
Xia Liangjun explained, "Eating it all isn't a bad thing; it's a great thing!"
Only then did everyone pick up their chopsticks.
During the meal, the three younger sisters took turns showing off the birthday gifts they had given to their eldest brother.
They also went the extra mile, providing Xia Yisong with a new outfit, from the inside out, including but not limited to an exquisite hunting tunic, a cape, and lightweight boots, with even the embroidered patterns in understated colors suitable for concealment.
The other two brothers stared in envy. If the eldest brother dressed more roughly, he would look fierce and go unnoticed.
But once she puts on exquisite clothes, her temperament is instantly balanced, and she looks good.
This time,
Who would dare say that the second son is the most charming?
The Yu family has been very busy lately, not only dealing with their old customers, but also receiving a large number of gift orders from the Xia family, all with deadlines.
Instead of putting pressure on customers, we let them participate in the production process.
As a result, Xia Yisong received the utensils that his second and third brothers had ordered from the Yu family at different times, and that they had personally processed and carved.
It mainly contained bows and arrows and knives.
It was made exactly according to the boss's specifications, with the weight increased proportionally.
The fish family didn't even have this mold; if they hadn't placed their order early, there wouldn't have been enough time.
After a noisy dinner, the group quickly helped clean up.
We're just waiting for my great-uncle to announce something important.
"Your mother and I have discussed this matter for a long time and entrusted your great-uncle to help us handle it." Xia Liangjun took the envelope, unfolded it, and then looked at his eldest son, gesturing for him to take it.
"Contract".
While Xia Yisong was reading the letter, Xia Liangjun also explained to everyone:
“I know that Song’er doesn’t like studying. But I always have some wishful thinking that if he can pass the exam and not be affected by my incident, he will definitely stand out with his talent.”
"father!"
Xia Yisong's hands were trembling.
That incident refers to his past being demoted and sent back to his hometown; a father with a tainted past might hinder his son's advancement.
However, seeing that his eldest son was diligent in his studies and did well in his homework, Xia Liangjun had always harbored a hidden hope that his son would pass the imperial examination, clear his name, and return to officialdom.
Moreover, because of his sense of responsibility and hard work, he never refuses or expresses his own preferences.
That's why I've been half-heartedly going along with it.
It wasn't until that year, when everyone was struggling to emerge from their grief, that he gradually noticed the unique expressions on each of his sons' faces when they were doing what they loved.
It was a vivid and immersive experience, just like when I was studying, becoming an official, and counting money.
It cannot be expressed by being obedient and composed.
He discussed this matter with Tian Chaoyu many times, especially since their eldest brother had collected a lot of medicinal herbs and game, and had actually shared a lot of money with the Lei family.
They had no problem having enough to eat and wear, and even had extra money to buy shops.
It was through this incident with the Chao family that, after a conversation with Chao Shuang, they decided to open a medicinal herb shop.
They have a stable supply of goods and experienced craftsmen.
There's also the passionate eldest son who inherited his talent for accounting, and his skillful children.
And their physical condition is gradually improving.
They're all clamoring to start a new business!
then,
After discussing it with Tian Dinglan, they selected a shop in Huashan Town and prepared to open next year.
As for the owner of the contract, it was Xia Yisong.
"There's one more thing. Although the herbal medicine shop belongs to you, if you don't want to sell herbs and have ideas for doing other business, your parents will support you."
"This is the job I want to do." Xia Yisong was very excited. This meant not only a career, but also a change in his father's expectations of him.
He can break free from the constraints of the eldest son inheriting his father's will and do everything himself.
How could this not be delightful?
