    The next day it was dark, so Zhao Hao got up and went to the kitchen to heat up the leftovers from last night.

    Then he filled Zhao Shouzheng with face wash, prepared toothbrushes and soap, and then told him to get up.

    The hungover Zhao Shouzheng rubbed his swollen head and couldn't remember what he said last night.

    "Father, it is better to eat less wine in the future." Zhao Hao advised him while serving him a meal: "You are not very bright in the first place. If you drink too much, you will not be able to pass the examination."

    "Uh" Zhao Shouzheng was speechless. After a while, he nodded and said, "Okay."

    After the father and son finished breakfast, they threw the bowls and chopsticks into the basin, and Zhao Hao couldn't wait to drag Zhao Shouzheng out.

    The two of them were no longer in the mood for a leisurely stroll today. They walked in a hurry and arrived at the main street outside the Drum Tower in more than half an hour.

    "There are several shops on this street where you can buy brown sugar." Zhao Shouzheng wiped the sweat with the towel on his neck.

    Zhao Hao shook his head.  "We can't buy it here. Let's go further."

    "Prudent." Zhao Shouzheng praised highly: "If you act prudently, you can strengthen your ambition, and if you speak prudently, you can respect your virtue. My son will become a great person."

    Zhao Hao rolled his eyes, you know all the truth in your heart, but you forget everything when you do something

    But he had something big to do today, and he didn¡¯t want to waste time complaining, so he took Zhao Shouzheng straight through the street outside the Gulou, and then passed the square in front of the Gulou, and came to the fish market street, which was also bustling with business and full of department stores.

    The father and son went to four shops separately and bought a total of fifty kilograms of brown sugar.  Then he picked up these candies and went to Beimen Bridge. He did the same trick again and bought another fifty kilograms of brown sugar from four stores.

    Zhao Hao once again spent all his money

    Naturally, there was no money to hire a porter, so Zhao Shouzheng carried the load and walked to Caijia Lane, which was more than ten miles away.

    Zhao Hao originally wanted to take turns shouldering the burden with him, but Zhao Shouzheng insisted not to do so.

    "My son is still growing, so he can't be crushed."

    Zhao Hao couldn't compete with him, so he had to fan him with a bamboo hat and encourage Zhao Shouzheng mentally.

    But Zhao Shouzheng really couldn't carry it with his shoulders or lift it with his hands.  He was swaying, walking and resting in a cowardly manner, which attracted countless laughs from the citizens along the way.

    You must know that in this era, working people can pick up a load of two to three hundred kilograms and walk away. Even women and children will not be weighed down by this weight.

    "Ignore them." Zhao Hao raised his thumbs up and cheered him up with admiration on his face: "Father is the best! Come on, come on!"

    Although Zhao Shouzheng didn't know what "come on" meant, he was still very excited.  He yelled, picked up the load and rushed out.

    Unexpectedly, before he had rushed ten feet, his legs went weak and he collapsed on the ground.  If Zhao Hao hadn't been prepared for this and caught the pole quickly, he would have spilled all the candy on the ground.

    "It can't be done, it can't be done. My father wants to kill the thief, but I am exhausted." Zhao Shouzheng sat down in the shade of the tree, breathing heavily and said: "Let me rest for a while, and then I can go into battle."

    ??~~

    Zhao Hao quickly went to the well nearby, fetched a ladle of well water, and added brown sugar to the water.

    Zhao Shouzheng drank a gulp, and then he felt like he was alive again.

    "The road is long and long, so keep on going."

    Zhao Shouzheng was holding on to the tree trunk, trying to get up.

    Just at this moment, a surprise call was heard out of thin air.

    "Hey, isn't this my brother?"

    The father and son followed the sound and saw a tall man wearing a black gauze net scarf and a blue soap-edged t-shirt that was not old and new, running from a distance with a face full of joy.

    "Ah, my brother is indeed you!"

    When the man came closer, Zhao Hao saw that he looked pretty good, but his striking ears were quite funny.  Look at the blue circles under his eyes, and there are some eye-catching oil stains on his clothes. There is a sense of decadence all over his body, which can be felt from a few feet away.

    When Zhao Shouzheng saw the person coming, he immediately smiled. He stood up and raised his hands towards the other person and said repeatedly: "Good brother, my good good brother, I called you early, it is better to come by chance."

    "Really?" The man blinked in surprise and said expectantly: "Brother, do you want to have a meal?"

    "Of course there is." Zhao Shouzheng said, pointing to the burden, and smiled happily: "But you have to help me pick this home first."

    "No problem, as soon as the elder brother opens his mouth, the younger brother will go through fire and water without hesitation."

    The man looked at the two bags tied at both ends of the pole and felt they were not big, so he beat his chest loudly.  After saying that, I noticed the person beside me?Hao then said with a smile: "Is this a good nephew? He has grown so big."

    Zhao Hao was a little confused by this familiar guy.  He forced a smile, which was regarded as a courtesy.

    "This kid doesn't like to talk much." The visitor didn't take it seriously. He bent down to pick up the pole and stood up.

    "Ouch, it's so heavy" The man looked like he had a big frame, but it was just the tip of a silver pewter gun.  He looked at Zhao Shouzheng for help and said, "Brother, please help me."

    Zhao Shouzheng helped him carry the burden, and then took his son's head to lead the way.

    The man had no choice but to carry the burden honestly and followed behind.

    Pulling away a little, Zhao Hao finally couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Who is this?"

    "He is my classmate in the Imperial College, and his name is Fan Datong. It was this guy who borrowed the five taels before. I didn't even count how much money I gave him from time to time." Zhao Shouzheng told Zhao Hao in a low voice.  .

    Zhao Hao suddenly realized that he could catch the coolie now

    But Fan Datong is also a loser. He didn't even take a few hundred steps before complaining that he was tired.

    "Brother, how about we take over?" Fan Datong looked longingly at Zhao Shouzheng, knowing that he had always been soft-hearted.

    "Pay back the money!" Zhao Hao glared at him angrily.  I thought to myself that this guy was so shameless, knowing that my father was in dire straits, yet he still wanted to borrow money from him.

    "My nephew, are you kidding me?" Fan Datong blinked and looked at the tender-faced Zhao Hao.

    "As soon as the pole lands, pay back the money immediately." Zhao Hao stretched out his hand towards him and said reluctantly: "First pay back the five taels from yesterday."

    "Huh?" Fan Datong was stunned and looked at Zhao Shouzheng.

    Zhao Shouzheng shrugged and said he was helpless.

    "My dear brother, I don't know. Now that my family is headed by my son, it's hard for me, the father, to speak."

    "I didn't say I wouldn't pick." Fan Datong immediately recognized the situation and said with vigor, "My dear nephew, believe it or not, I can pick your house in one go!"

    "Xin." Zhao Hao curled his lips and refused to pay attention to him.

    Fan Datong had no choice but to continue carrying the burden and lamented to Zhao Shouzheng: "Brother, Master Ling's temper is not like yours."

    "My son can strengthen himself a hundred times." Zhao Shouzheng was very proud when he heard this. After saying this, he asked about the reason for his visit.

    "I forgot to ask my brother about his new address the day before yesterday. I was worried about how to meet him. Unexpectedly, we bumped into him today. It can be said that we are destined to meet each other." Fan Datong replied seriously.  In fact, he had been wandering around the north of the city these two days just to find Zhao Shouzheng.

    "Really? That's not bad." Zhao Shouzheng felt warm in his heart when he heard this, and laughed at himself: "It means I haven't failed as a person yet."

    Zhao Hao rolled his eyes secretly when he heard this and said to himself: 'Do people care about you?  Do people care about your money?  ¡¯
