Chapter 122
"Nothing happened, okay?"

Chu Ning squinted at him, "Could it be that you are still looking forward to chaos in the world?"

Fang Shengyu choked, and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? There's nothing taboo about it. After hearing it, people think you have something wrong in your heart."

After hearing what he said, Chu Ning looked him up and down, "Fang Shengyu, I find that sometimes you really don't look like a kid..."

"You're the brat! Your whole family is brats!"

Fang Shengyu hated Chu Ning saying that he was a brat the most, every time he heard it he would jump up in anger, "You little brat, who are you calling a brat?!"

"you!"

"……you you!"

Fang Shengyu pointed at Chu Ning, "Where do you have the face to call others a kid, not as tall as me, so you have the nerve to pretend to be an adult, you are so small..."

This time it was Chu Ning's turn to jump, "Who do you call the little one?!"

"You! You! You! It's you! Chu Ning!"

Fang Shengyu made a face at her, then ran away.

Chu Ning rolled up his sleeves while chasing, "Good boy, don't run away if you have the guts!"

"Idiots don't run away."

Fang Shengyu's words spread to his ears with the wind, and Chu Ning couldn't help laughing. It's rare for this little fat man to be so childish.

Liuzi, Zhuzi and the others laughed and Mimi watched the two fight and didn't care about it. Sister Chu Jing was used to it and didn't care at all. Anyway, the kites are almost sold out, so it's okay to play when you are free.

"Second sister, let's fly a kite by the river too."

Chu Ning is used to calling it a kite, but he still talks about it at home. Chu Jing and the others are affected, and they are more used to calling it a kite.

Seeing that Chu Jing was in trouble, Qu Shuchun said, "Second uncle and I are watching here, you just go and play, just don't go far, and don't argue with others."

Both Chu Tian and Chu Ran's eyes lit up.

"Cousin, can you help us fly the kite?"

Qu Shuchun glanced into the crowd, "Okay, which one do you want, my cousin will let you go."

So the two little girls started discussing happily, and Qu Shuchun waited patiently without urging them to stop.

"Father, father..."

"Hey."

Chu Jing looked at the preoccupied Chu Shouli, "Father, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, I'm fine."

Chu Shouli forced a smile and said, "Go ahead and play, don't go too far, call dad if you have something to do."

"...Oh, I see."

Qu Shuchun handed the flying kite to the three sisters Chu Jing, and stayed with them for a while. Seeing that they were pulling the kite string easily, he hurried back to the stall.

"Second uncle, you don't have to worry. With Master Fang protecting you, no one will dare to trouble us again."

Chu Shouli sighed.

This is what worries him now.

The daughter said that she and Fang Shengyu had no personal relationship, but they were always arguing like this, which was easy to be misunderstood. If it was rumored, how could they find their husband's family in the future.

"Ah~"

When Chu Shouli sighed, Fang Shengyu also kept sighing, "There is little rain this year, and the crops are all watered by hand. It is better to be close to the river or where there is a well. Drought has already appeared in places without water sources. If there is no more rain, the reduction in wheat production is unstoppable."

Chu Ning frowned, "Your Zhuangzi should have a well, right?"

The Fang family made their fortune from the land, and their ancestors have been running the farm for generations. Even though there are more and more properties now, the farm is still the most important industry for their family.

Like this kind of big landlord who has accumulated for generations, he has never encountered any weather. How could he panic because there has been no rain for two months.

"Zhuangzi has a well..."

Fang Shengyu explained, "I'm not worried about the farm. I'm worried that if this goes on, there will be no reason to stop my grandfather from returning home. You don't know that the old man has been farming all his life, and what he cares most about is the growth of the crops. Rain, he is worried about the crops in the field, he has long wanted to go back, if I hadn't resorted to some tricks, he would have left long ago."

Chu Ning said, "This matter is really difficult."

Fang Shengyu sighed, "If it doesn't work, let him go back and stay for a few days. At worst, I will send more people to follow. If there is any change, I will bring him to the city as soon as possible."

"we can only do this."

Thinking of the dry weather, Chu Ning said again, "This weather is indeed not normal. If it continues like this, let alone crops, people will have problems drinking water sooner or later... Well, do you have an ice kiln at home? The water source is not in short supply, store more ice..."

Fang Shengyu asked with a question mark on his face, "Store ice? It's March [-]rd now, where is there any ice? Even if my house has an ice kiln, I can't..., hey? You mean put water in the ice kiln to freeze ice?" ?”

Without waiting for Chu Ning to return to him, he said, "You can try it, but my father may not agree."

Hearing what he said, Chu Ning didn't force it, "Then we don't need your ice kiln, let's build one ourselves."

Fang Shengyu was stunned, "Let's build it ourselves? Do you want to store water directly?"

He said, "It's impossible to store water, let alone such a big place, the water will deteriorate after a long time, and you can't drink it anymore."

"I know."

Chu Ning said, "We don't store water, but ice."

"Store ice?"

"Where did you get the ice?"

"We make it ourselves."

Fang Shengyu looked at her in disbelief, "You won't tell me, you can make ice, right?"

Chu Ning didn't answer his words, "Selling ice in summer is a huge profit, and ordinary people are afraid that they can't do this business. Even if we have stored ice, we can't take it out rashly, otherwise people will think about it, and it will be troublesome." .”

"Then what do you store ice for?"

"We don't sell ice, but we can sell iced drinks. Small troubles should not attract the attention of others."

Fang Shengyu nodded approvingly. Although he loves money, he also knows that he can't get his hands on any business, and money can't be earned. He can't get into the eyes of money, and he doesn't even care about his own safety.

Although his family has some connections, they can't be careless.

It is better not to provoke troubles that can be avoided.

"Okay, then let's build an ice kiln..., eh? No, you haven't said where the ice comes from..."

Fang Shengyu was almost sidetracked by her, and now he reacted and stopped doing it immediately, insisting on asking clearly, but no matter how much he pestered him, Chu Ning didn't answer directly, and he was so anxious that he scratched his head and screamed.

Just as he was about to press on and ask again, the three Chu Jing sisters ran over happily, so he had no choice but to give up.

Chu Ning thought carefully. They not only brought enough goods, but also prepared a lot of food and water when they came out to set up a stall. After everyone had finished playing, they went back to the stall and had a simple lunch with Chu Shouli and Qu Shuchun. , and after spending a leisurely afternoon, I am ready to go home.

All the kites they brought were sold out, and all the giant kites from the Paper Kite Workshop were also sold out. Today's trip can be said to be a huge reward, and they made a lot of money.

Chu Shouli smiled happily.

He forgot to worry about Chu Ning.

For the first time in more than 30 years, he has earned so much silver. He is excited and excited. He doesn't want to think about anything else. He just wants to go home quickly and count the silver.

In fact, there is no need to count the money, because they bring a lot of kites, and the price of each kite is the same, they are all one tael of silver.

But he just wanted to count for himself.
