Zhou Zhongbo is a person who loves to save face. Since he can't win in the game, he might as well use food to make up for it.

"Sister, this is some sweets and snacks from Lao Ji's shop. You should try some."

Fu Jiujiu tasted it with a pleased expression. Zou Zhongbai's heart filled with joy, and he eagerly asked, "How is it?"

To everyone's surprise, the little dumpling shook its head and said, "It's not delicious. It's not as good as my second brother's braised beef."

Saying that, the little dumpling took out another oiled paper package from the bag. Just as he opened one corner, the fragrance overflowed.

Inside is spicy beef, slightly dry, can be stored for a long time.

"Luoji is the most famous snack shop in Qinghe County, you haven't tried it, I tell you…"

Having just had that experience, Zou Yuansong was a little more cautious now. "Zhongbo," he said, "why don't you try Fu Erge's before we say anything."

Better to eat first and speak later, lest you get slapped in the face.

As Zou Yuansong expected, the second brother of the little girl is a master chef. This beef jerky he made is fragrant and spicy, making one want to eat another piece after the first.

Fu Jiujiu saw that they hadn't eaten enough, and generously invited them, "Eat as much as you like, I have plenty at home."

"Hee hee, little sister, you're so good. You're the cutest little girl I've ever seen."

Fujuju was also elated to be praised.

Children's world is so simple, if something is delicious and fun, they share it together, that's what makes them good friends.

Zou Yuansong was thinking more deeply, wasn't this Fu family just a peasant household?

How come everyone is so discreet?

He also heard that the sixth son of the Fu family passed the Tongsheng exam after only one year of study. Thinking about his own situation, he started learning at three years old and his mother came from a scholarly family. His conditions were more than enough to be superior, yet it took him two years to become a Tongsheng.

As for this little girl, she is even more remarkable.

The journey was long, so the three of them started playing checkers. Before they began, Zou Zhongbai seemed confident of victory. This game was simple; compared to Go, it was child's play.

>It's unbelievable, he always ended up being the last one to return home after playing a few times.

Fujujiao is first, Zuo Yuansong is second, and he is third.

At first, he didn't believe it was bad luck, thinking that it was just because he was new to the game and not very skilled. However, after playing several more rounds, the results remained unchanged, which was hard for him to accept.

"Here we go again."

Fu Jiujiu nodded, she was too tired to keep her eyes open.

The little baby sleeps very well, saying sleep and falling asleep.

The two Zou brothers watched the sleeping little girl, not saying a word, and carefully watching to make sure the carriage didn't rock her awake.

When Xiao Nai Tuanzi was finally fast asleep, Zou Zhongbai couldn't contain his curiosity anymore. "Brother, how is she so amazing? Are you sure she's only two years old?"

<< Zou Yuansong chuckled lightly, "Why are you unhappy?"

"Well, it's not a big deal... It's just that... I let a little kid win, and it kind of bugs me."

"Zhong Bo, it's normal to lose to her. Didn't you hear mother say, our younger sister's chess skills are even better than father's."

Zou Yuansong didn't disbelieve his mother's words, but thought it was possible she was being lenient because of favoritism. However, now it seemed completely different.

Have you ever gone against our father?

Zhou Zhongbai shook his head. "How could I compare to Father?"

So, it's normal for you to lose to her.

At this time, the two Zou brothers each had their own thoughts.

The carriage swayed back and forth, Fu Jiujiu slept soundly. When she woke up, she found her feet were already on Zou Yuansong's legs.

She quickly got up, and Zou Zhongbo beside her grinned at her, "You're finally awake. You don't look like you slept honestly at all."

"... Fu Jiujiu was a bit embarrassed. In her past life, she slept soundly, but now that she was still a baby, in the midst of growing, according to her mother, every night she either kicked off the covers or fell to the ground."

"It's alright," Zou Yuansong said softly. "Zhongbo, you're even more dishonest when you sleep. You have the face to say others are."

"Hee hee."

Fujujiao felt a little shy, she lifted the car curtain and peeked outside.

Now that she's already in the county town, since it's a rare occasion for her to come, she wants to go see Fifth Brother.

"Little sister, do you want anything to eat? Big brother will buy it for you," Zou Zhongbo said generously, patting his chest.

Fujujiao rubbed her eyes and woke up a bit more. She turned back with a bright smile, "Second brother, are you trying to bribe me?"

"Well...haha...you're so clever, hehe. Buying things is true, of course. And if you don't tell my father about the temple fair, I'll be even more grateful to you."

Zou Yuansong looked cold and aloof, but actually cared for his younger brother quite a bit. “Sister, ever since your second brother found out those were scams, he hasn’t messed around anymore, so… can you please not tell our parents, otherwise…”

“Or else my butt will be blooming!” Zou Zhongbo chuckled.

Fujujiao is of course happy to see the adults being intimate. It seems like Erge has finally developed a memory, it wouldn't make sense for him to just go to someone's place and then tell on them right away.

What about the relationship afterwards?

When he saw the little dumpling nod, Zou Zhongbo was overjoyed. "This sister is so good," he thought. "Sister, what do you want to tell your older brother? Just tell me anything."

"I want to go to Tongren Pharmacy to check on my brother first."

"How do you have so many brothers?" Zou Zhongbo asked, "There are so many at home, and even some in the county?"

"I have eight older brothers, this is my fifth older brother," Fujujiao explained.

Zhou Yuansong actually found this little girl quite interesting. Other children would have been too excited to remember anything else, but she still remembered to come and see her brother.

When she was at the Fu family's, her parents didn't tell her to visit her brother.

Zou Yuansong said to the driver, "First go to the pharmacy and then come back."

Tongren Pharmacy, it is one of the largest pharmacies in the county. The doctor who sees patients there is also quite famous. A pharmacy this big couldn't possibly only have one doctor.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Where there are many people, there is much strife.

Today, Fu Wujin's master Gu Junxian is not seeing patients. It is another doctor in the pharmacy named Sun Ming.

This Sun Ming's medical skills are decent, but he is stingy and likes to play dirty behind people's backs.

When Fu Jiujiu and several others entered, the stall was in the midst of an argument.

"Master Sun, this patient is different from the previous ones. Although he has diarrhea, I asked him and he hasn't been to the Dragon and Phoenix Tavern or eaten any of those spoiled dishes."

"You know what? A school kid, I've been doing this for thirty years, and he's better than me?"

Sun Ming's face turned dark, and he roared at Fu Liujin, "Your master wouldn't dare speak to me like that. You little upstart, what do you know about treating illnesses?"

Fu Wu-jin shook his head. He was doing this for the patient's sake, after all. Sun Ming usually charged exorbitant prices for medication, but this time, it was simply the wrong medicine.

He noticed the patient's neck was thicker than average, with protruding eyes. According to the patient, despite eating large meals every day, he was getting thinner and thinner.

He remembered Chi-chi describing this situation in the medical book she gave him, it sounded like hyperthyroidism!
