“Brother is not so good as spouse.”

Simply because the folks within the village had stated, for the previous half month, Cheng Yun had been taking Yang Hongjin into city daily. Though he had bought solely his thought for 100 yuan, Cheng Yun nonetheless helped to excellent the recipe. So when the brand new dish, now referred to as “Pine Nut Fish,” was launched, Cheng Yun might lastly retire with delight.

Throughout this time, he additionally saved himself busy by exchanging the 100 yuan for various issues at house. Their as soon as easy home was now rather more snug, with new pots, bowls, and utensils. He had additionally changed most of the lamps, as Cheng Yun didn’t like a darkish home. He purchased many candles and lit them in his room, making him really feel extra comfortable.

Since studying that Yang Hongjin was expert in woodworking, he had taken him to the mountains to chop down some wooden. It had taken half a month, however Yang Hongjin had managed to create a brand new chair, and regardless that it was just one, it was sufficient to make Cheng Yun completely satisfied.

Throughout his free time, Cheng Yun had as soon as taken Yang Hongjin to the furnishings retailer on the town. Nonetheless, there weren’t many kinds of furnishings on this period, they usually have been largely conventional. After they returned house, Cheng Yun had merely requested Yang Hongjin to make a chair for him, with out specifying any explicit type. Unexpectedly, the idiot had remembered one of many chairs from the shop, and after fiddling round for half a month, had managed to create a precise duplicate.

Yang Hongjin labored very diligently. Each morning, Cheng Yun took him to the Yueqiong Tower, the place they ate lunch earlier than working till simply earlier than the night rush. After they returned house, Cheng Yun would experiment with new dishes within the kitchen, whereas Yang Hongjin would busy himself within the entrance yard along with his instruments.

Cheng Yun would observe Yang Hongjin’s progress with the chair daily. He knew nothing about woodworking, and will solely stand subsequent door to look at, sometimes wiping his sweat and handing him a cup of water, changing into an increasing number of like his little brother.

Yang Hongjin labored exhausting daily to finish the duty given to him by his spouse. He was so targeted on making the chair that he had even forgotten to are inclined to the fields. Initially, Cheng Yun didn’t need him to work so exhausting within the sizzling solar, so he didn’t say something to remind him of his duties.

It was right now that Yang Hongcai came around. After enthusiastic about it, Cheng Yun proposed a “collaboration” with him.

Though their two acres of land weren’t a lot, it was nonetheless their household’s property. Cheng Yun had made some cash due to his relationship with Liu Wen, however he knew that it wasn’t a sustainable approach to make a residing. He had no plans to promote the land till he discovered a brand new and viable approach of creating a residing.

Nonetheless, leaving the farmland there with out planting is a waste. Throughout this era, after they went to city, Yang Hongjin’s unfinished work was all carried out with the assistance of Yang Hongcai. Cheng Yun thought that it was not too busy for farming earlier than the autumn harvest. In the course of the peak farming season, even the ladies and youngsters within the household needed to go to the fields to assist. However now, when everyone seems to be free, they do some odd jobs at house. In consequence, it’s affordable to ask Yang Hongcai for assist.

He proposed to present Yang Hongjin 5 yuan a day as wages, which might be 100 and fifty yuan a month till the autumn harvest.

In consequence, Yang Hongcai turned indignant when he heard this. “What do you are taking me for? Serving to you helps Hongjin. I can not take your cash. If he can’t end the work, I’ll assist care for it.”

Cheng Yun didn’t anticipate Yang Hongcai to react so strongly, so he shortly defined, “No, second brother, you misunderstood me. I don’t imply anything. It’s simply that I’ll take Hongjin to city throughout this era, and I received’t be capable of care for the work within the fields. If I don’t ask you as we speak, I’ll discover another person to assist.”

Seeing Yang Hongcai frown, Cheng Yun instantly stated, “Though we’re household, serving to one another is what we must always do. It is probably not a giant deal for a day or half a day, but when this goes on for a very long time, we’ll really feel uneasy.”

Yang Hongjin understood his that means however nonetheless felt that it was inappropriate. “No, this isn’t a very tough job. In your two acres of land, after deducting the non-public and submitted portion, can earn two yuan of silver a 12 months, which is already a fantastic achievement. How are you going to spend 100 and fifty yuan a month to get folks to care for the land?”

Cheng Yun thought for a second and advised Yang Hongcai about his cooperation with Liu Wen whereas concealing some particulars. “Second brother, to be trustworthy with you, I’ve not too long ago cooperated with Liu Boss of Yueqiong Tower. You additionally know that Yueqiong Tower is probably the most well-known restaurant in Tengyun City, and even the entire Nanming Metropolis. It’s stated that it makes some huge cash daily, and Liu Boss can also be beneficiant, giving me plenty of rewards. It’s sufficient to enhance our lives. If we handle it nicely, we will actually have a affluent 12 months.”

Yang Hongcai had heard about it from Li Fengjiao earlier than, so he thought it was surprising but in addition affordable when Cheng Yun advised him. Nonetheless, he nonetheless couldn’t simply settle for the proposal to pay somebody to assist them plant the land.

Yang Hongcai had heard Li Fengjiao point out it earlier than, so when Cheng Yun stated it to him, he felt it was each surprising and affordable. Nonetheless, he nonetheless couldn’t simply settle for the proposal of being paid to assist them domesticate the land.

“In case you have the power to earn large cash and dwell a great life with Hongjin, that’s a great factor. I don’t perceive the enterprise, however I additionally know that you must lower your expenses you probably have it.” Yang Hongcai stated, “Furthermore, one in every of these two plots of land belongs to the Yang household. If we now have to pay cash to do issues inside our household, what sort of household is that?”

After Cheng Yun completed speaking about his cooperation with Liu Wen, Yang Hongcai didn’t comply with the pattern however as an alternative stated these phrases, which made Cheng Yun imagine in his character and turn out to be extra decided to ascertain a great relationship with him and assist him.

He thought for a second and stated, “Second Brother, don’t fear. Since I’ve married Hongjin, I’ll undoubtedly take excellent care of him sooner or later. This cooperation with Mr. Liu is only a trial, and I’ll proceed to search for different methods to earn cash sooner or later. It’s okay to ask on your assist a couple of times, but when it occurs too typically, we received’t have the face to ask anymore. Put your self in my sneakers, when you have been busy and requested our household to give you the results you want, after some time, you’d additionally really feel embarrassed.”

Seeing Yang Hongcai silent in thought, Cheng Yun shortly added, “It’s virtually time for autumn harvest, and winter is coming quickly after. The autumn season right here is brief, and the climate will get chilly shortly. There have been two main droughts within the second half of this 12 months, which didn’t have a big impression, however the harvest remains to be not so good as final 12 months. Even when you don’t care about your self, you must take into consideration the opposite folks in your loved ones. So many mouths to feed.”

Yang Hongcai frowned, seeming to be satisfied, however after cautious consideration, he nonetheless felt uneasy about receiving 100 and fifty yuan per thirty days. It will make him seem like he was making the most of his youthful brother’s household.

Cheng Yun had been watching his face and didn’t miss any of his expressions. When he noticed Yang Hongcai’s hesitation, he guessed what he was apprehensive about and stated, “In the event you suppose 100 and fifty yuan is an excessive amount of, how about I offer you 100 yuan per thirty days? Final time after I went to city to promote greens with Aunt Wang, she might make twenty yuan within the morning alone. Even when you don’t assist us, we nonetheless have to search out another person to do it.”

Yang Hongcai was already feeling tempted, and now that Cheng Yun had lowered the worth, his guilt was lessened. Furthermore, Cheng Yun had stated that they must discover another person to assist them anyway. As a substitute of giving the job to another person, whose work he didn’t know, it was higher to entrust it to him. He would care for it and assist them watch over the land.

Lastly, all the pieces was settled, and Cheng Yun wished to pay Yang Hongcai instantly, however he refused to take the cash and requested to attend till he had labored for a month. After some negotiation, they agreed to pay him each seven days, with twenty-five yuan per fee.

Cheng Yun stated, “As soon as you are taking the cash, I can really feel comfortable. I do know you’ll take excellent care of the 2 acres of land for us. Solely then can I give attention to our personal enterprise with Hongjin with out worrying.”

Yang Hongcai couldn’t argue with him, so he needed to take the cash and when he held the twenty-five yuan in his hand, he felt a bit dazed. The cash at house was at all times held by his father and Li Fengjiao, and the cash in his pocket was at all times spent earlier than it might even heat his fingers. It had been a very long time since he had greater than twenty yuan on him.

Cheng Yun additionally knew a bit about Yang’s household state of affairs, so he reminded him, “I hope the cooperation between Second Brother and I might be saved a secret. I don’t belief many individuals within the village. If others know I’ve a approach to earn cash, who is aware of what they may plot in opposition to us.”

“That’s pure.” Yang Hongcai considered Li Fengjiao’s angle and knew that Cheng Yun’s phrases made sense.

Cheng Yun invited Yang Hongcai to remain for dinner, and when Yang Hongcai stated he wished to go house, Cheng Yun gave him the pine nut fish that Yueqiong Tower had given him when he left. After the 2 have been carried out and Yang Hongcai had left, Yang Hongjin, who had been sitting on the aspect like a ornament, grabbed Cheng Yun’s hand and stated, “Spouse, brother left.”

“Sure, brother left. Do you may have something you need to say to him?” Cheng Yun smiled and pinched his face.

Yang Hongjin frowned and stated dissatisfiedly, “Brother took spouse’s cash!”

Cheng Yun was bowled over for a second, then burst out laughing.

Not dangerous, not dangerous. This fool was now beginning to have emotions for his spouse as an alternative of his brother. It was not in useless to deal with him with a lot coronary heart.
