There was no shortage of food on the way to escape, and the lucky lady was busy farming.

Sun Shunzi didn't dare to get close, for fear that if he got close to the money box, there would be poison.

He doesn't believe in pie in the sky.

But the box was blocked at the door, and no one could get in. Sun Shunzi didn't dare to get close, so he could only squat far away under the opposite wall, waiting for Sun Ping to come home.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he sat down under the wall, he saw his second uncle opening the door from the side of the house, walking out and pulling the box to go back in.

At this moment, Sun Shunzi had no time to worry about whether his second uncle climbed over the wall and unlatched the door. He hurriedly took a few steps forward and stopped his second uncle's arm, saying anxiously:

"Second uncle, this thing doesn't belong to us, we can't touch it!"

Sun An stopped moving the box and stared at Sun Shunzi for a while before recognizing him.

"Shunzi, why is it you? I haven't seen you for a few years, and you are becoming more and more casual!"

Sun An looked at the row of messy stubble on Sun Shunzi's chin and lamented that the two of them lived so casually, with the crumbs from breakfast still hanging on them!
Sun Shunzi touched his beard and realized that there was also dirt on it. He scratched his head awkwardly and said anxiously:

"Second uncle, forget about being casual or not for now, this box is not ours, we can't take it!"

Sun An looked at Sun Shunzi and followed his gaze downwards, only to realize that Sun Shunzi was talking about the box he was holding in his hand.

After being stunned for a moment, Sun An opened his mouth with a smile and said with a loud smile:

"What's ours? This is mine. Why can't I take it?"

After that, it was time to move the box inside again.

Sun Shunzi grabbed Sun An again:

"How come you are rich? Didn't you say last time..."

"Oh, I heard that you two are out of money, so I quickly got some copper coins to help!"

After going around in circles for a while, Sun An finally said:

"Didn't you study under a teacher and learn a lot? My second uncle is thinking that you might as well work as a cook for my second uncle, so that we can make a fortune together, right?"

"What are you talking about?"

Sun Shunzi couldn't help but frowned.

Is this what his second uncle is here for?

Previously, he and his father were so poor that they had to borrow money from their second uncle. What did the second uncle say at that time?

If you want money or not, you need a life!
Now he takes the initiative to give money, and his attitude is very different from before, but it's just because of the secret recipe.

Sun Shunzi's eyes darkened.

He and his father are really short of money right now. The Chinese New Year is coming soon and money needs to be used everywhere, but he can't and doesn't want to go out and sell the master's things for money.

Sun Shunzi thought, even if he starved to death or froze to death outside, he still wouldn't be able to do such a shameful thing as betraying his master.

But this attitude made Sun An a little anxious. He pointed at Sun Shunzi and said with an expression of hatred that iron cannot be transformed into steel:

"You kid, why don't you listen even when I'm talking to you?"

Sun Shunzi was also anxious. He straightened up and punched Sun An in front of him. No matter what he said, he was unwilling to ask him to go forward.

Naturally, Sun An didn't really want to come and give money. He was just afraid that the father and son would not be willing, so he brought these stepping stones. Seeing that this fool refused even the stepping stones, Sun An almost squinted in anger.How come there are such stupid children?
Thought he was trying to be virtuous, he didn't curse after all, but the box in his hand was getting heavier and heavier. After a while, Sun An felt vaguely that he couldn't hold on any longer.

His arms were swelling, and he could no longer drag the box. However, this stupid boy was still standing in front of him, showing no signs of letting go, so he had to soften his tone and said:
"Good boy, can you ask your second uncle to come in and sit down?"

Sun Shunzi shook his head, pointed at the money box and said:
"You take this back first."

Sun An was helpless. He just felt that he was holding a hot potato in his hand. It didn't matter whether he kept it or not.

But his arms were tired and tight, so he handed it to Sun Shunzi and said helplessly:
"Okay, okay, take it back. Take it back when the second uncle leaves. Can you help the second uncle find a place to put it down first?"

Sun Shunzi immediately took a few steps back, put his hands on his back, and shook his head:
"I won't touch it."

This time Sun An really couldn't lift it anymore, so he threw the box on the ground and sat next to the box to rest.

Sun Shunzi was very scared, fearing that if the box stayed here for a second longer, his master's secret recipe would be in danger.

After kicking the box, Sun Shunzi said:

"Don't take a rest yet, take the money away."

Sun An really made Sun Shunzi angry this time.

Why can't you just take a break?You have to ask him to take the money, right?

Sun An felt helpless, thinking that as a dignified uncle, he had been bullied by a junior, and he really couldn't help it.

He couldn't help but put on airs and asked Sun Shunzi, as if he was using the tone of an elder lecturing a younger one:
"You kid, your father didn't teach you well. My second uncle has to talk to you carefully today..."

Sun An originally thought that he would give Sun Shunzi a good scolding as an uncle, but he didn't expect that as soon as he said a few words, he heard a familiar voice coming from the side:

"I teach my own children by myself. You don't need to be here to give guidance. What you do is unkind and unjust, and you still want others to respect you? Not at all!"

Sun An turned his eyes away and was almost frightened to death.

I saw Sun Ping and Song Rutang standing behind Sun Shunzi, staring at themselves and their box!

Sun Shunzi finally felt a little more relaxed now. Seeing his supporter coming, he suddenly relieved his strength. But he was too embarrassed to stand with Song Rutang, so he moved behind his father and whispered to his father:
"Dad, my second uncle came over with a box of copper coins and wanted me to be a cook in his restaurant."

The volume of these words was not too low, Song Rutang heard them easily, and looked at Sun Shunzi with a half-smile, feeling that this was a good opportunity to test.

Seeing Sun Shunzi like this, he must have been decadent for a long time. According to her plan, it was time for a rescue to pull Sun Shunzi out of the bottom of the valley, lest he really fell into despair because of this matter.

After all, she still wanted to use him, and before that, she had to see if he could be used in the future.

So Song Rutang smiled and said to Sun Shunzi:
"With your current skills, it's not difficult to become a cook in a nearby restaurant. Why should you regard your second uncle as a scourge and drive him away?"

Sun Shunzi shook his head:

"I only follow you. I did something wrong and you can't keep me. I won't be a cook from now on, so as not to make the same mistake again."

Song Rutang didn't say anything after hearing this, just looked at Sun Shunzi and smiled.

Seeing her like this, Sun Shunzi couldn't figure out what she was thinking, so he hesitated and said:

"Master, I know I was wrong. I was arrogant and broke the rules. Can you... give me another chance? I still want to go back to cooking."
