Chapter 224 You Casanova (6)_1
Fang Hui simply had to drag them to her home, "Even if you don’t eat, have some tea before you leave! We’ve got duck eggs that were pickled a while back and are just becoming edible. Feng Bo was saying yesterday that he wanted to send some over to you!"
"No need, Auntie! The tea house shopkeeper sent us several dozen, and we’re worrying about how to finish them! That’s why we’re packing a few for you." Pei Qin called back, saying they still had work at home and couldn’t accept the offer, as she hurried the donkey cart away.
The wives turning wheat in the neighboring field laughed and said to Fang Hui, "Your niece really is something! She bought a residence in town and built a new house! She even drives that donkey cart so smoothly! And she’s good-looking to boot!"
Fang Hui’s face beamed with pride. Knowing the woman was talkative, she didn’t engage further and turned to continue harvesting the wheat.
In the evening, they cooked zongzi with several flavors, and Grandma Feng expressed her contentment to Fang Hui, praising, "Qinqin really has skillful hands! These zongzi are wrapped so beautifully, and with so much variety inside, things we never thought to include. I didn’t expect them to taste so good!"
"Qinqin is capable and sensible. What’s rare is that she can read and do arithmetic! She’s teaching her younger sisters those skills too. Wendong has already been sent to school, so there’s no way he’ll go wrong in the future!" Fang Hui also laughed with satisfaction. Although she was a motherless eldest daughter with several youngsters to look after, having such ability made her a lot stronger than others!
"The shopkeeper gave them a few duck eggs, and they didn’t even want to eat them but gave them to us instead. We should send them something too, right?" Feng Bo asked Fang Hui while eating a zongzi.
"Let’s send them some vegetables! They don’t have any land, so they have to spend money to buy any veggies!" Fang Hui mused.
"Sure! We have more vegetables in our garden than we can eat anyway, so we’ll send some over to them more often," said Feng Bo with a somewhat shy smile.
