Chapter 83 Time Shop

"What's wrong with you two?" Ye Anyian asked quietly.

　　Zhao Jinbao seemed to be afraid of him, looked up at him, and hid behind Ye Anbai.

　　After all, Ye Anbai and Ye Anyian were brothers. He flattened his mouth and said, "I, I'm looking for Brother Fu."

　　Ye Anbai and Fu Zai had never had a good relationship, and Ye Anyian didn't believe that these two boys were here to play with Fu Zai.

　　"Do you have anything to do with him?"

　　Ye Anbai hesitated: "You, you ask him to come out."

　　Ye Anyian frowned when he heard the sound: "What should you call me?"

　　"Third brother." Ye Anbai shouted reluctantly.

　　In the past few days, he and Zhao Jinbao went to Wangyue Mountain every day, but there was no sign of Fu Zai, and no one was there when they came to stay at Ye Anian's house.

　　Now it seems that the wounds on his hands are almost healed. How can he threaten Fu Zai to give him a mud squawk and a wooden spinning top when he can no longer squat with anyone?

　　Today, they couldn't bear it anymore, so they sneaked over to take a look. It was getting dark, so Fu Zai couldn't stay home.

　　"I called you, go and call him out quickly." Ye Anbai glared at Ye Anyian.

　　"It depends on whether Fu Zai wants to see you." Ye Anian said.

　　He didn't say that he would definitely help Ye Anbo call people out.

　　"...You!" Ye Anbai clenched his fists angrily.

　　"Brother," Fu Zai's childish voice suddenly came from behind, "Don't worry about it, I'll go take a look."

　　As soon as he saw Ye Anbai and Zhao Jinbao, he knew that they must be here because of what happened that day.

　　Fu Zai took the two of them aside. Seeing Ye Anyian still standing at the door, he waved his hand and said, "Brother, you go back first. Don't interfere in the children's affairs."

　　"Then you resolve it properly and don't fight."

　　The three children were at the door, and the coins were also nearby. If something happened, there would definitely be news. Ye Anyian had nothing to worry about. After speaking, he turned around and left, leaving the children to solve it themselves.

　　As soon as Ye Annian left, Ye Anbo's expression changed instantly.

He stretched out his hand towards Fu Zai, revealing the scabbed scratch on his palm: "Your dog scratched it."

　　Although Fu Zai is young, his bruises and scratches are not so big that he cannot distinguish them.

　　He put his hands on his hips and said: "This was not caught with copper coins, you can't even think of relying on me!"

　　"Then it was this little beast who knocked me down! It's your fault for this injury!" Ye Anbai said.

　　Zhao Jinbao narrowed his eyes: "Bring us mud, rattles and wooden tops!"

　　"No, we all want those little toys your brother made! You go get them for us and forget about it."

　　Fu Zai suddenly realized that these two people were here to blackmail him.

　　"Then what if I don't give it?"

　　"I told my grandma to go!" Ye Anbai straightened her little breasts, "If my grandma knew that it was your little beast that hurt me, she would definitely not be able to spare you!"

　　"I will definitely beat this little beast of yours to death! I might even give you a beating! Be afraid!"

　　"You dare!" Fu Zai clenched his fists and protected the copper coin behind himself.

　　"Woo, woof...!"

　　Tong Qian was very smart, and when he saw Ye Anbai's hostility, he bared his teeth, raised his tail, and his fur exploded.

　　Ye Anbai was so frightened that he staggered back two steps and was grabbed by Zhao Jinbao's collar.

　　"What are you afraid of? If he dares to let the dog bite you, we will not leave!"

　　Ye Anbai thought to himself: It's not you who is biting, of course you are not afraid. Yesterday, when he was knocked down by this black little beast, he was so frightened that he almost flew out of his mind.

　　"Who wants to hang around?"

　　Shi Shi's cold and childish voice suddenly sounded from behind.

　　Ye Anbai instantly turned pale and grabbed Zhao Jinbao's clothes.

　　When Zhao Jinbao turned around, he saw Shitou standing behind them with a stick in his hand, glaring at them fiercely.

　　Zhao Jinbao:...

　　His legs were a little weak.

　　"What did you just say you wanted?" Shitou asked.

　　Ye Anbai was a little afraid to speak. Zhao Jinbao had never been hit by stones, but he was more stubborn.

　　He scratched his neck and said, "Brother Fu's dog injured Amber, and we want him to take some toys as compensation. What's wrong?"

　　Shitou didn't say anything. He swung the stick in his hand and hit Zhao Jinbao.

　　Zhao Jinbao didn't expect him to be serious. Seeing the stick swung towards his butt, he hurriedly dodged to the side, but he still received a blow.

　　"Ouch!"

Zhao Jinbao screamed in pain, covered his butt and looked at the stone in disbelief.

　　"You, you, you...you dare to hit me!"

　　"I'll hit him, whatever happens!" Shitou raised his hand and was about to swing the second stick.

　　Zhao Jinbao was frightened, holding his buttocks and stepping back: "You're crazy!"

　　"Don't you two like to complain? Go ahead and complain!"

　　Shitou threw the stick aside and said, "Anyway, if I get beaten by my grandfather because you two complained, you two won't be able to run away. If my grandfather beats me, I will beat you twice!"

　　Ye Anbai and Zhao Jinbao's faces fell, and they trembled at the same time.

　　Then I heard Shitou say: "That's the end of that day. If you two dare to cause trouble for Fu Zai again in the future, I will definitely hit you!"

　　Amber Ye:...

　　Zhao Jinbao:...

　　Fuzai stood aside, his shoulders shaking as he covered his mouth and laughed.

　　Ye Anbai clenched her fists tightly, glared at Fu Zai with great reluctance, and pulled Zhao Jinbao away in despair.

　　"Brother Shitou, why are you here?" Fu Zai asked.

　　Usually, Shitou came to him and Ding Qiu to see the Lion King early in the morning. Now that it was dark, he didn't know if something happened to the Lion King.

　　"Sanniu just told me that Ye Anbo and Zhao Jinbao came to your house. I was afraid that they would risk trouble again, so I hurried over to take a look. I didn't expect that he was really here to cause trouble."

　　Shitou scratched his head and smiled at Fu Zai: "After we rescued the Lion King that day, I saw that Ye Anbai and Zhao Jinbao had suffered a loss but did not move, so I found a few children close to the Ye family to help me keep an eye on them. "

　　He is the king of children in the village, and his grandfather is the most upright person. Except for Ye Anbo from the old Ye family, and a few other children who play well with Ye Anbo, the other children of similar age are all his good buddies, as long as he gives an order , that is, shouting in front and supporting behind, one call and a hundred responses.

　　Knowing the reason, Fu Zai felt relieved: "It seems like they won't dare to cause trouble in the future."

　　"It's getting dark, brother Shitou, you should go back quickly."

　　"Okay," Shitou nodded, "Then I'll come see you and Ding Qiu tomorrow morning."

　　Ye Annian had actually been hiding behind the fence gate to watch the excitement. When Shitou took care of the two naughty children, he didn't show up.

　　At this time, Fu Zai sent away the stone and walked over with the copper coins. Ye Anian ran away quickly and squatted in front of the rabbit cage in the yard and pretended to feed the rabbits.

　　Seeing Fu Zai come in with the copper coins, he asked casually: "Is it settled?"

　　"Yeah." Fu Zai nodded, "They probably won't come again in the future."

　　At this time, the tempting aroma of rice wafted from the main room. Jiang Zhu held the steaming rice in his hands and shouted to the two people in the courtyard: "It's time to eat!"

　　"Coming!"

"Coming."

　　Fu Zai and Ye An Nian agreed in unison, holding hands with their little ones and trotting towards the main room.

　　…

　　Early the next morning, Jiang Zhu followed Zhou Liang's oxcart to the town for medical treatment. The pine wood had not been moved yet, and the wooden boxes could not be made. Ye Anian made Rubik's Cubes at home. At the end of the day, he made three .

　　In the afternoon, Carpenter Ge's husband Feng Ci came and told Ye Anyian that Carpenter Ge had packed up the pine wood and could move there tomorrow.

　　Ye Anian agreed and gave him the money to buy the wood first, a total of two coins.

　　When Jiang Zhu came back in the evening, he told him about the matter.

　　"Then I won't go to the town tomorrow. I'll go with you to Carpenter Ge's house to move the wood back. I haven't been up the mountain for a few days, so I'll go to the mountain tomorrow to collect some herbs." Jiang Zhu said.

The next day, the two of them went to Carpenter Ge's house to bring back the wood used by Ye Anian to make boxes. Then Jiang Zhu carried the bamboo basket, picked up the soil ridge and the iron fork, and went up the mountain to collect herbs.

　　But Fuzai and Ding Qiu were already one step ahead of him, and went out with Shitou in the name of Rabbit Grass, and the little tail of Copper Coin also followed.

　　Ye Anian and two little rabbits were the only ones left at home again, but it was good that he was alone and quiet, which made it easier for him to roam around in the yard.

　　At the end of the day, the wooden box had begun to take shape, and Ye Anyian worked overtime to make two more Rubik's cubes.

　　When Jiang Zhu came back in the evening, he saw a large wooden box in the yard. He curiously went to check it out, but was startled by Fu Zai hiding inside.

　　Ye Annian heard the noise and came out of the medicine house. He saw Jiang Zhu patting his chest and looking frightened.

　　He smiled and said, "He has been hiding here for a long time in order to ambush you."

　　"Hey, I succeeded." Fu Zai winked at Jiang Zhu mischievously.

　　"Since our Fu Zai is so perseverant, let's reward Fu Zai with a piece of candy." Jiang Zhu touched Fu Zai's head, took out a piece of candy from his pocket and gave it to him.

　　Ye Anyian frowned at the side: "The children will be spoiled by you."

　　"Is there any?"

　　Jiang Zhu laughed, and suddenly took out another piece of candy and stuffed it into Ye Anyian's mouth: "Pine nut candy, do you think it's sweet?"

　　The sweet taste spread between his lips and teeth. Ye Anyian's face turned red and he rolled his eyes at Jiang Zhu.

　　In the next three days, Ye Anyian worked overtime. Not only did he finish the moving wooden box, but he also drove out all the Rubik's cubes that Feng Mingxu wanted.

　　There was a lot of wood left, so he improvised and made a handle that could be used for pushing and a cloud-shaped sign, on which he planned to write the name of his mobile stall.

　　However, he had trouble choosing a name. He thought about it for a whole day and night before finally settling on the name: Guangyin Shop.

　　Now, the movable wooden box that was originally built has been turned into a small wooden cart that can be set up independently, which is very convenient.

　　After the things were ready, the two took Zhou Liang's ox cart to the town the next day, but they didn't bring the wooden cart with them.

　　Firstly, he did not say hello to Zhou Liang in advance and there was no room for the cart on the bullock cart. Secondly, Ye Anyian planned to paint the cart with some bright colors and decorate it, so as to attract the attention and interest of the children.

　　When they arrived in the town, Ye Anyian took the ten Rubik's Cubes he had prepared. As soon as he appeared in Clay Figurine Lane, Feng Mingxu hurriedly walked over from the side.

　　As soon as he saw Ye Anyian, he couldn't wait to ask: "Brother Ye, have you finished the Rubik's Cube?"

　　"It's done." Ye Anian pushed the bamboo basket in front of him, with ten colored Rubik's cubes neatly placed inside.

　　Feng Mingxu was overjoyed: "Great, I've been thinking about this thing in my dreams at night these past few days!"

As he said that, he picked up a hand and started spinning it.

　　But after working for a long time, I couldn't figure it out. I could only put together a complete noodle, and I was scratching my head in sorrow.

　　When Ye Anyian saw it, he took out another Rubik's Cube from the basket and operated it again in front of Feng Mingxu.

　　Feng Mingxu looked at it seriously. When Ye Anyian finished fighting, he suddenly realized: "That's it!"

　　After all, it was someone who had won the exam before. He only read it once and then spelled it out according to Ye Anian's method just now. Not only that, he also came up with a new solution.

　　Ye Annian was helpless. With such a big man standing in this way, other children could not come to his stall to look at the things.

　　Fortunately, Feng Mingxu didn't play for too long. He picked up the basket containing the Rubik's Cube with satisfaction and said to Ye Anyian: "Brother Ye, this Rubik's Cube is indeed a good thing. I'll go back first and try again next time. Little plaything, you must find me."

　　Ye Annian didn't expect that he would be so addicted to a Rubik's Cube, and he agreed repeatedly: "Okay, I will definitely think of Feng Shanchang first."

　　After sending Feng Mingxu away, Ye Anyian continued to watch the stall, squeezing mud and screaming.

　　Little did he know that the Hongfu Academy was already exploding.

　　Feng Mingxu bought these Rubik's Cubes with the intention of giving them to the children in Enlightenment Hall to play with, but the academy is not big. During their normal breaks, the students from Qinjin Hall next door like to rest in the corridor and test each other's knowledge.

　　The little kids in the Enlightenment Hall were laughing and playing around the lotus pond in the center of the courtyard. They couldn't put it down after receiving the Rubik's Cube handed out by their leader Feng Shanzhang. They gathered around in groups of three and two and played enthusiastically.

　　But the students in the Qinjin Hall saw it. One of the scholars was curious and asked the children in the Enlightenment Hall to borrow one to play with. It didn't matter now. He became addicted as soon as he played with it, and led other scholars to also become interested.

　　In less than a day, these ten Rubik's Cubes had spread throughout the academy, and almost every student had tried them.

　　After all, this thing is indeed difficult for children of a few years old, but for students who are preparing hard for exams, it can just relax and exercise their brains that have become dull.

　　The news reached Feng Mingxu's ears not long after, which gave the open-minded mountain chief a bit of a headache.

　　It's not a big deal that the Rubik's Cube has opened up wisdom among the students, but now that the college entrance examination is about to take place, he is really afraid that it will delay the students' studies.

　　After much thought, Feng Mingxu came up with a solution that he thought was good.

　　He collected all ten Rubik's cubes and promised to the students preparing for the exam that after passing the college exam, everyone would be given a Rubik's cube, regardless of whether they passed the exam or not.

　　At this time, the students were all excited, and the lights in Qinjin Hall stayed on all night.

　　However, there are also students who have other thoughts, such as Ye Ansong.

　　Ye Ansong was actually not interested in the Rubik's Cube. He even thought those classmates who were pondering over the Rubik's Cube were quite stupid.

　　However, almost everyone in the academy couldn't put it down. He was afraid that he would lose face, so he could only pretend to be interested.

He was having a heated fight with Ji Fangfang now, and he was eager to get some limelight in front of the woman he loved, but he didn't know anything about this stuff and was too lazy to think about it.

However, he knew that this thing was made by his cheap brother Ye Anyian. Since Ye Anyian made the thing, Ye Anyian must know the solution to the Rubik's Cube.

　　Ye Ansong thought about it secretly and came up with an idea.

　　On the other side, Ye Annian didn't know Ye Ansong's plan.

　　Today, all the gadgets he brought were sold out and he earned nearly two taels of silver. When it was time to close the stall in the evening, Feng Mingxu came again.

　　Ye Annian was surprised: "What's wrong with Mr. Feng Shan?"

　　He thought there was something wrong with the Rubik's Cube he made.

　　But he saw Feng Mingxu shaking his head, talking about what happened in the academy today, and then said: "I wonder if I can fix thirty-two more Rubik's cubes as a reward for the students who have passed the academy examination."

　　"Chief Feng Shanchang is really an enlightened and wise man." Ye Anyian couldn't help but praise.

　　"However, if we do so much, it may take me more than ten days to complete the work. I wonder if Mr. Feng is in a hurry?"

　　"There's no rush, no rush." ​​Feng Mingxu said repeatedly, "Students will have their college exams in five or six days, and the results will be released in another five or six days. Ten days is just right. Just take your time."

　　"Okay." Ye Anyian nodded in agreement.

　　Feng Mingxu paid the deposit and left.

　　Not long after, Jiang Zhu also closed the stall and went home with Ye Anian.

　　On the way, the two began to count up their income in the past few days, and unexpectedly found that they had already earned almost ten taels of silver.

　　After all, their work basically cost nothing, and the money they received was almost pure profit.

　　"If we continue like this, we should be able to build a fence before the year. By the way, we can also build you a room specifically for woodworking," Jiang Zhu said.

　　Building a fence was a serious matter, but Ye Annian was not in a hurry when it came to building a house. He quite liked working with Jiang Zhu.

　　However, he will definitely have to do more and more things in the future, and Jiang Zhu also needs to refine medicine, so squeezing them together is not an option after all.

　　Then he nodded: "It would be nice if it could be built before the end of the year."

　　"At the end of this month, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and we need to start preparing for the festival."

　　Ye Annian thought about the customs of celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival in modern times: "Eating moon cakes? Eating crabs? Viewing lanterns?"

　　He didn't seem to know the rest.

　　"You want to eat mooncakes. If you like crabs, I'll go back and buy some. The crabs at this time of year are really plump."

　　"There are also drinking osmanthus wine, appreciating the moon, osmanthus flowers, eating glutinous rice cakes, swimming with fire dragons, watching lanterns and guessing lantern riddles. Although our town is not big, it is very lively during the New Year and festivals."

　　Jiang Zhu said a lot, which made Ye Anyian's heart beat violently.

　　In modern times, there are not so many customs, nor such a strong festive atmosphere.

　　"At that time, let's make moon cakes, eat crabs, and take Fu Zai and Ding Qiu to the town to watch the lanterns."

　　Ye Anyian nodded: "Okay."

Jiang Zhu suddenly held his hand and sighed: "In previous years, Ding Qiu and I spent the time together, and it was deserted. This year we have a lot of fun together."

　　The setting sun was as hot and warm as fire, lengthening the shadows of the two people side by side, and finally returned to one place.

　　When he got home, Copper Coin was squatting pitifully in the yard, being lectured by Fu Zai again.

　　Hearing the movement at the door, Fu Zai held a small branch in his hand and ran over to complain to the copper coins.

　　"Brother, Brother Jiang, Copper Coin has grown up and become more and more disobedient!"

　　"What's wrong?" Ye Anyian asked.

　　Fu Zai brought the two of them to Copper Coin, grabbed its dog ears and showed them to them. There were several scratches and nicks on the pointed ears, and there were also several wounds on the body.

　　"In the past few days, it has been running out to fight every afternoon, and I can't stop it!"

　　Fu Zai said angrily: "Brother Qiu gives it medicine every day, but it gets new injuries every day!"

　　Jiang Zhu looked helplessly at the scars on Tong Qian's body.

　　Ding Qiu couldn't see it with his eyes. He only knew that it was indeed injured, but he could tell that it was scratched by a cat.

　　Last time, he was afraid that Fu Zai would be suspicious and didn't say anything. He thought that after eating the copper coin, he would definitely not provoke the cat secretly again.

　　But I didn't expect that after so many days, it still hasn't given up.

　　Tongqian felt aggrieved when he saw Jiang Zhu staring at him.

　　It really didn't fight, it just didn't trust the furry little thing to stay outside alone, so it took food in its mouth to watch it every day.

　　But that little thing was so cruel that he had to be beaten first before he would eat what he brought.

　　Jiang Zhu touched Tongqian's head and pretended to mention it casually: "Tongqian's injury seems to have been scratched by a cat?"

　　"Did it run out to fight with the wild cats in the village?"

　　"Why...?"

　　Fu Zai, who was furious, was stunned.

　　Caught by a cat?

　　Could it be...the Lion King?

　　In the past few days, he, Brother Shitou and Brother Qiu went to see the Lion King, and they did find some food next to the cat nest they arranged.

　　But most of them were half-sized small fish, loaches, etc. He thought it was the Lion King who had recovered from his injury and caught them himself.

　　Could it be that these were all captured with copper coins and given to the Lion King?

　　He knew that the Lion King had a bad temper. Now that Copper Coin had grown up, it might frighten the Lion King, so he was beaten.

Seeing Xiao Tuanzi stroking the hair of the copper coin thoughtfully, Jiang Zhu said no more, looked at each other with Ye Anian, and the two secretly got up and left.

　　In the next few days, Ye Annian first painted his car with warm colors, and then painted a picture of several children playing under a big banyan tree on the car.

　　The big banyan tree is green, and children are sitting under the tree. Some are nibbling watermelons, some are holding rattles, some are playing together with wooden tops, and some are imitating the little monks and sitting cross-legged. Knocking on wood frogs is very interesting.

　　After finishing the painting, he made a few more windmills, painted them with bright colors, and inserted them into his car.

　　Finally, the sign reading "Guangyin Shop" was also decorated and hung in a conspicuous position on the trolley.

When Fu Zai saw this car, he liked it very much.

　　Xiaotuanzi circled the wooden cart several times, then raised his head and said to Ye Anyian: "Brother, your cart is so powerful."

　　Ye Annian touched his head: "What's wrong?"

　　"I feel like as long as a child stands here, it will spit out a lot of fun things on its own!"

　　This description made Ye Anyian laugh, but it also proved that his car was well decorated.

　　He stared at the car for a while, feeling a little worried again.

　　From the original wooden box to a small wooden cart, the size has increased a little bit. It will be troublesome to take this cart to the town in the future.

　　If they wanted to take Zhou Liang's ox cart, he and Jiang Zhu would probably have to rent a car. One trip would cost dozens of coins anyway.

　　Moreover, it was impossible for Zhou Liang to provide them with cars like this every day, and this would not be an option in the long run.

　　Ye Annian thought of the snowflakes and silver saved in his money bag, and a thought suddenly occurred to him.

　　It would be better for them to buy a bullock cart themselves. This makes it convenient to go to town whenever you want. You don't have to rush early in the morning, and you don't have to worry about staying in town too late and not having a car to come back.

　　He mentioned this idea to Jiang Zhu, and Jiang Zhu readily agreed: "Then let's go to the town to buy a bullock cart tomorrow."

　　The next day, the two of them waited at the door for Zhou Liang's bullock cart as usual.

　　But he bumped into the three people he least wanted to see: Wu Xianglian, Sun Caihe and Ye Ansong.

　　All three of them had changed into new clothes, especially Ye Ansong, who was wearing a satin-covered turquoise gown, his hair was tied up meticulously, and he even had a jade hairpin.

　　Wu Xianglian was holding a bookcase in her arms, and Sun Caihe was carrying a bamboo basket covered with cloth.

　　Ye Anian suddenly remembered that it seemed that it was almost time for the college examination.

　　Wu Xianglian and Sun Caihe were probably sending Ye Ansong to take the exam in Anxing County next door.
