Ning Fengnian glanced at his family subconsciously and did not agree immediately.

Second Uncle Ning was a little unhappy: "Whether it works or not depends on what I say. Besides, I'm worried that you guys won't be able to make it and delay things."

He came with a purpose, but he managed to smile and didn't speak too harshly.

"Children are ignorant and treat serious things as if they are for fun. We can't let this go. I will leave this matter to my brother and I will keep it for you to manage and come up with a charter. From now on, you can just make bamboo shoots at home and deliver goods." Just let me take care of the accounting."

Ning Fengnian didn't like hearing this: "Second brother, what you said is wrong. Although this is just a small business and can't earn much copper money, the children are all very diligent and conscientious, but they never dare to worry about making a living. Treat it as child’s play.”

"When I was ill, Dalang was always the hardest-working man building a new house for his neighbor. He resisted the heaviest wood and moved the heaviest bricks. His shoulders were bruised and bleeding, but he didn't say a word."

"Erlang goes up to the mountain to cut firewood every day, and he and Dalang have to dig and peel bamboo shoots together. They get blisters on their hands and prick them with a needle. They grow again the next day."

"That's Xiaoxiao. Even though she is young, she has a lot of ideas." Ning Fengnian smiled more when talking about her daughter. "She came up with the recipe of sour bamboo shoots. She worked from dawn to dusk to make sour bamboo shoots. Selling bamboo shoots to a restaurant, what she does for the family is far inferior even to me as a father."

So even if the second brother opened his mouth, he couldn't give up what his children had worked so hard for. He didn't tell the truth directly or refuse outright. He, the eldest brother, was already saving face for his younger brother, and he didn't want to hurt the relationship between the brothers.

He is honest, but he is not stupid. He is afraid that they will be too busy and wants to help, but it is just an excuse.

Second Uncle Ning didn't want to hear this at all. It was none of his business whether Dafang's brat could do anything or not. He just wanted to keep this gold-making business in his own hands.

Seeing that Ning Fengnian deliberately refused to answer the question, it was obvious that this matter was not easy to accomplish. He had a set of thoughts in his mind. He looked around with sneaky eyes and pretended not to care: "Look at what the elder brother said, I just mentioned it. Since you are busy, of course I won't join in." This is lively, but if you stay for a meal today, I won’t be unwelcome, right?"

It was best if the second brother was willing to give up. Ning Fengnian breathed a sigh of relief and asked Erlang to go to the old house to deliver the message, leaving the second brother to have dinner with him.

Uncle Ning had known for a long time that the food in Dafang was good recently, and in order to stimulate him, Xiaoxiao specially prepared lavish meals. At first, he wanted to hold on to some food, but then he ate so much that he wanted to grab the vegetables directly on the plate, and Dafang and Erlang didn't even think about it. Seeing.

When they were almost done eating, Uncle Ning said as if he just remembered: "Oh, by the way, I haven't tasted the sour bamboo shoots made by the children."

Xiaoxiao understood and cut him a plate. Seeing that he was so full that he wanted to vomit but still pretended to enjoy it and ate it all, he wanted to give him more with bad intentions. Uncle Ning quickly stopped him and burped. He said, "It tastes really good. I wonder if I can take a jar home and give it to my parents to try?"

Ning Fengnian couldn't refuse this reason, and Xiaoxiao just pretended that she couldn't see the calculation behind her second uncle's eyes, so she generously chose the largest jar for him to take away.

Ning Fengnian looked at his daughter's kind and enthusiastic appearance, and became even more dissatisfied with the previous behavior of his second sibling.

He was such a good girl, but the second younger sibling wanted to bully her because of her head twitching, and even falsely accused Xiaoxiao of being disrespectful to her elders. If she hadn't gone too far, she might have actually agreed to let her second brother get a share of the pie today.

Xiaoxiao was obedient and behaved in front of her honest father. When she entered the kitchen, she was pulled aside by her second brother who looked unhappy: "Silly sister, why are you so stupid like dad? You can just give him a spoonful of leaves, but you still give him such a big pot." ?”
