Chapter 11: They Are All Debt Collectors

Fang Youyou and Captain Fang did not delay and returned home.

The nephews and nieces had all come carrying their bowls and chopsticks; some even had rice and vegetables already in their bowls.

"Youyou, come over and eat quickly."

"Auntie."

"Auntie."

"Auntie."

Mother Fang looked at this string of grandchildren and said crossly, "You are all debt collectors. Line up, I’ll scoop a bit of meat for you."

Although Mother Fang doted on her daughter more, she was not like other old ladies in the village who favored boys over girls; she treated her grandsons and granddaughters equally.

The little ones seemed accustomed to this. Very quickly, the younger ones lined up in front and the older ones in the back. Their movements were so swift that Fang Youyou, who was just about to pick up a chestnut to eat, was startled. Looking at the situation, it clearly wasn't their first time.

As Mother Fang scooped the food for them, she brainwashed them, "You must remember, it is your Auntie who cares for you and gives you meat to eat. When you have something good, remember to save some for your Auntie."

"Grandma, don't worry, I will definitely save some for Auntie."

"Save it for Auntie."

"Right, we will treat Auntie well."

"Treat Auntie well."

Although she had replaced the original owner, Fang Youyou still felt a trace of awkwardness, but because she was used to keeping a straight face, no one noticed.

However, hearing these childish words, Fang Youyou was still somewhat touched.

She thought of some things from her previous life.

"Youyou, is it not tasty?"

She usually loved eating meat, so why wasn't she eating today?

Still daydreaming?

Could it be that she wants to lose weight?

Captain Fang had heard his wife mention that their daughter wanted to lose weight?

For that educated youth, Zhao?

"It's very fragrant; I want to eat it slowly." In her previous life, Fang Youyou had to mingle with her subordinates while eating at the border, so she always ate in large mouthfuls. But back at the General's manor, she still observed the proper etiquette.

"Youyou, eat a bit more." Mother Fang had already finished distributing the meat to the grandchildren. She didn't let them come over to sit and eat; they were all standing there, eating happily with their bowls in hand.

"Mom, you eat too."

Mother Fang suddenly became sentimental again, "A daughter is still the best. As for those brothers of yours, they only care about stuffing their own faces; they never think of me, their mother."

Although Fang Youyou hadn't been here long, she had met her brothers and sensed that they weren't the type to have sweet tongues. They were honest and dutiful; asking them to say nice things was harder for them than going to work in the fields.

"What about me?" How could she forget him?

He was such a big person sitting right here.

"Dad, you eat too." Fang Youyou’s personality was a bit carefree, but after all, she was a woman, and she was still attentive in certain aspects.

Mother Fang glanced at her husband, "You're even competing with me now."

Afraid that the two of them would start bickering, Fang Youyou picked up a piece of meat for each of them, "Eat, both of you eat."

While eating, Fang Youyou’s gaze fell on the children in the courtyard. Seeing them gathered together eating, every face wore a satisfied smile.

It was just a meal with meat, and there were more chestnuts than meat, yet they were so satisfied.

Fang Youyou had a hearty appetite; she only put down her bowl and chopsticks after finishing two bowls of sweet potato rice.

Although she had mentioned the matter of going to school to the old man, should she go to work to earn work points?

Currently, only her father in the family was working; was the grain they received enough to eat?

"Grandma, we're finished."
