Since Fang Yunqing's wife He Xianxiang died of illness, Fang Yunqing has stopped selling goods and quitting his profession. But he could not quit his old wine under any circumstances, on the contrary, he became more and more unrestrained, and drank it endlessly all day.

Fang Qiuping and his wife also felt that they were incompatible with their father's personality, so they quickly separated from Fang Yunqing's family to live their own small life. Fang Qiuping and his wife moved out of the Fang family's courtyard and lived in a new house, and Fang Caili became the new hostess of Fang Yunqing's family.

At this time, Fang Caili was still a little girl who was only seventeen years old, but fate had pushed her to the foreground, Fang Caili was not an assertive little girl, and she did not hesitate to pick up the burden that the Fang family had fallen on her shoulders.

Fang Yunqing's mother was still alive at this time, but this old woman herself was too selfish, and she forcibly separated Fang Yunqing from the house before He Xianxiang passed the door for a long time, and only gave Fang Yunqing and his wife a basket of rice (150 city catties) to live a good life by herself. For this matter, Fang Yunqing had a lot of opinions, and later He Xianxiang gave birth to many children for Fang Yunqing, and this selfish old woman was unwilling to help them take care of their grandchildren. He Xianxiang didn't have many complaints, but in the eyes of the irascible Fang Yunqing, this mother was simply an evil and vicious person. Therefore, in normal times, Fang Yunqing doesn't care about his mother, even if his mother is almost too old to walk in bed now, he doesn't want to take care of it. Zhangshu Po had already come to talk to Fang Yunqing several times, asking him to fulfill his obligations as a son as much as possible.

Fang Yunqing complained to Zhangshu aggrievedly: "It's not that I don't want to be loyal and filial, but she hasn't treated her son as her own for decades, and now she has reached this point where she has brought it on herself, so she can't blame me." But for the sake of my aunt's face today, I served her a bowl of porridge every day to eat, which was enough to tolerate her.

In this kind of thing, Zhangshu Po can only sigh repeatedly, there is no better way. Everyone also thinks that this Fang Yunqing is a rough person, and sometimes he can't listen to him when he reasones. But since Fang Yunqing said that he would not starve his mother to death, everyone had no choice but to stop interfering. Besides, he just died of his wife, and it is understandable that he is in a bad mood. But some people think that if the son does not take care of his mother, Fang Qiuping, as a grandson, should take on the responsibility of taking care of his grandmother. Fang Qiuping's words were very tactful on the surface, but in fact, how to act was also discounted. Xu Zhiguo, who lives next door to this matter, knows this matter best, this Xu Zhiguo is usually a person who doesn't care about the neighbors' idle affairs, but in this matter, he keeps a close eye on the Fang family's father and son. Therefore, he was very concerned about what the Fang family's father and son did.

Sometimes when chatting in the courtyard, he would express some of his opinions in a very targeted manner, which would naturally be quickly passed on to the ears of the Fang family's father and son. Fang Qiuping knew that his behavior had caused dissatisfaction among his neighbors, even if he was angry, he would hide it in his stomach and not vent it, but Fang Yunqing, who had a hot temper, couldn't bear it, so he would accuse Xu Zhiguo of being troublesome in person, and of course only he could solve his family's affairs.

Xu Zhiguo will also fight back at the right time, so there will be a quarrel between the two families. However, such a quarrel will not develop to the level of fighting, and will soon be persuaded and pacified by the neighbors of the Fang family's compound.

Fang Yunqing's mother sometimes yelled when she was so hungry that she couldn't do it. At this time, Fang Caili would bring a bowl of porridge or noodles to her grandmother's bed, and then said angrily: "Don't shout, it's not that you don't bring you food to eat, you usually treat your son and daughter-in-law a little better, and it won't fall to the level where no one pays attention to it now, this is called the evil man has his own evil grinding." Besides, your rations didn't fall into our house, and what you were fed could have been enough to keep half a pig in captivity. ”

Xu Yunqin heard this, so he came over to criticize Fang Caili and said, "Caili, how can you talk to your grandmother like this?" Anyway, she is also your grandmother, without this person in front of you, where would there be your father, let alone you. It is not right for your family to treat an old man like this, according to the previous imperial law, he will be 'sent to be unfilial', but Xu Yunqin doesn't know how serious this crime is.

Fang Caili is not easy to provoke, especially when Xu Yunqin says bad things about her, she doesn't get angry: "Yunqin, who are you educating?" It's not your turn to dictate my family's affairs. ”

So, Xu Yunqin didn't say much about her, anyway, it wasn't him Xu Yunqin who was accused of unfilial piety. Xu Yunqin walked away, and Fang Caili took this anger out on her grandmother: "Did you see it and hear it?" I can tell you, you are neither my father nor my mother, but I eat and drink for you every day, take care of you like an ancestor, but end up being scolded by the neighbors, I am really angry, remember that when the time comes, I will naturally send the food to you to eat, and I will only give you one meal a day to eat, believe it or not? ”

The old lady didn't know if she had listened to Fang Caili's words, at least, her daily shouts were no longer heard by the neighbors.

Fang Caili usually treats Xu Yunqin very well, but at that time, Yunqin criticized her for having such an attitude towards her grandmother, and was scolded back by Fang Caili at that time. But soon after, Fang Caili found an opportunity to apologize to Xu Yunqin for her behavior, and she would pester Xu Yunqin vigorously before getting Xu Yunqin's understanding. Xu Yunqin had no choice but to forgive Fang Caili.

Fang Caili sometimes goes to the town with her neighbors to catch the market, and she will quietly buy some of Yunqin's favorite food, and ask Xu Yunqin to come out at night and hand them to him. Xu Yunqin's family is not as rich as Fang Caili, and Jin Xiaoju rarely goes to the town with her neighbors to catch the market. Therefore, it is rare for Xu Yunqin to get snacks since he was a child, but fortunately, the children of the Xu family do not have much attraction to snacks.

Xu Yunqin sometimes eats the snacks that Fang Caili gave him in front of Fang Caili, and sometimes he takes them home and shares them with his younger brothers and sisters. But every time he did this, he would be scolded by Fang Caili the next day: "Yun Qin, I only give you this little thing, what do you mean by taking it back and distributing it to your younger brothers and sisters?" ”

Xu Yunqin both loves and hates Fang Caili, but the two are 'sticky' together, and they can't be separated.

Fang Yunqing can only go up the mountain to farm all day long, and plant rice in the field, after these responsible fields are assigned to the household, it is definitely not possible to abandon the wasteland, Fang Yunqing's family still has four people who must rely on themselves to feed, so they can only do farm work.

His agricultural skills are really not good, and he has to start learning all over again when the seeds are planted in the ground, loosening the soil, raising seedlings, irrigating, cultivating the soil, weeding, fertilizing, spraying, and fertilizing.

Fang Yunqing has a very explosive temper and gets angry at every turn, so few people will teach him these agricultural skills with their hearts, and the crops grown in his fields are all sick and ugly.

Xu Zhiguo next door to Fang Yunqing is a good hand at planting crops, and Fang Yunqing can completely ask Xu Zhiguo for advice. But Fang Yunqing looked down on Xu Zhiguo for being poor, and Xu Zhiguo couldn't get used to Fang Yunqing, a rough man, and felt that it was not interesting to deal with him, so the two didn't necessarily have much harmony.
