Following that, Zhang Huixin began carrying the remaining pork and brought Keke to visit the neighbors who had taken care of her and her daughter while she was bedridden. Keke watched as the amount of pork she had dwindled daily. Although the little girl couldn't bear to part with it, she still sensibly helped carry it. However, the pained look on her face left Fangzheng and company amused. He pinched her tiny nose and laughed. "What a scrooge!"
Keke acted like an adult as she said angrily, "You people are really … You really don't know the value of food unless you're in charge. In the past, I picked up so many bottles, but I couldn't even bear to buy half a kilogram of meat. You are giving so much away at once … I just can't bear to part with it … "
Upon hearing that, Fangzheng and Zhang Huixin felt their hearts ache. They knew that Keke was afraid of poverty and exhaustion. Although she was willing to give it away to thank everyone, it was understandable that she couldn't bear to part with it.
After the two coaxed Keke all day, Zhang Huixin also began preparing to look for a job.
Zhang Huixin was a postgraduate, and she had the ability and looks. However, the pay of a job in a small county city wasn't high. She found a few, and they were very willing to hire her. However, she was still a little hesitant when faced with a salary of more than a thousand yuan.
As Zhang Huixin chose, she sent her resume to the nearby Yongzhou City on the Internet. Even if it was a little tiring and she had to commute to work, she wanted to earn more money and give Keke a better life.
Fangzheng didn't say a word about this, nor did he have any intention of interfering. Everyone had their own path. Fangzheng had already helped what he could. The rest was up to them.
One day, Fangzheng's family was sitting in the living room eating when someone knocked on the door.
Keke immediately ran over to open the door. The moment she opened it, a stranger's face appeared at the door. It was a young man wearing glasses. He held a bag in his hand. The moment he opened the door, he immediately peeked his head in and looked into the room. Then, he said with a flustered look, "Aiyah, sorry. I knocked on the wrong door. Sorry, sorry … "
With that said, the man nodded repeatedly to express his apology before closing the door and leaving.
Keke cocked her head and ran back with a pout. "This person is weird. I've never seen him before."
Zhang Huixin frowned as well. "This is an old estate. Everyone basically knows each other. Even if they're relatives, as long as they visit each other often, they know each other. This person is really unfamiliar. "
Fangzheng also sensed it. When the person peeked his head in, his gaze was locked onto Fangzheng. He seemed to be overjoyed, but he immediately suppressed it and retreated.
Although he found the matter odd, Fangzheng didn't think too much about it.
Another article appeared on the internet.
"Risking his life to knock on the door and secretly take photos. Fangzheng stays at the widow's house. His daughter is obedient, and his mother is beautiful. Master has fallen!"
Following that, a video was played. It only lasted a few seconds, but it clearly captured Keke opening the door and Fangzheng and Zhang Huixin sitting there chatting. For a time, it caused a huge uproar!
The internet was bustling with activity again.
"Tsk tsk, what did those who helped Fangzheng say?"
"Haha, there's no need to say anything now. With video and evidence, Fangzheng is doomed!"
"He's still too young. He can't resist the temptation of a beautiful widow."
"Hehe, that chick is really beautiful. She has the bearing and the face. It's no wonder Fangzheng fell for her. If it were me, I would also fall. Hehe … "
…
As for those who supported Fangzheng, they fell silent. They were at a loss for words when faced with such a video.
At the same time, Perfected Inaction Infinity updated his Weibo again. "Gulin Religious Bureau. Are you not going to do anything about such an evil person?"
This time, the Gulin Religious Bureau replied: "Investigating and gathering evidence …"
Perfected Infinity sneered. "Alright, we'll wait for the outcome. I hope you will handle it impartially! "
With Perfected Inaction Infinity saying that, a group of fans echoed him.
"Waiting!"
"Waiting + 1."
"I'll just smile and not say a word. If you don't give everyone an explanation, your bureau will be dismissed."
…
The internet was in an uproar, but it didn't affect Fangzheng's life. Two days later, Zhang Huixin borrowed a huge black metal bucket from Granny Zhang. At the same time, there was a bag of grapefruit peel and some dry firewood.
When Keke saw this scene, she immediately clapped and laughed. She exclaimed. "Wow, it's time to smoke bacon! Daddy, let's go watch Mommy smoke bacon. Mommy's bacon is really delicious … "
As she spoke, Keke was already drooling as she pulled Fangzheng downstairs.
Lone Wolf took the lead. He never fell behind when it came to eating.
When they reached the ground floor, Zhang Huixin had already lit a fire.
Fangzheng carefully observed the metal bucket. From its shape, it looked like a huge bucket used to store gasoline. However, Fangzheng didn't know what it was actually filled with. The metal bucket had been manually processed. The top had been cut open, and it was completely open. There was a small door at the bottom, making it easy to stuff dry firewood inside and light a fire.
There were a few steel bars placed on the metal bucket. Zhang Huixin lit the fire and began adding grapefruit peel inside. Following that, she separated the marinated streaky pork strips and hung them inside. Finally, she covered them with a layer of newspaper and a thick layer of paper. Only then did she clap her hands. "Alright, all that's left is to wait."
Fangzheng asked out of curiosity, "Patron, why did you throw the grapefruit peel inside?"
Zhang Huixin didn't say a word, but Granny Zhang, who was helping by the side, said with a smile. "You probably don't know, right? This wasn't the fancy stuff that could be found in supermarkets or in piles. The bacon was marinated with spices. Although there were all sorts of flavors, it lacked the purest essence. Huixin threw the grapefruit peel inside. Firstly, it could produce smoke, and secondly, the smoked bacon had the fragrance of grapefruit peel! The fragrance wasn't particularly strong, but it was infused into every inch of the bacon. One bite wasn't only filled with oil and meat fragrance, but there was also the fragrance of the grapefruit. This is the true taste of Andong bacon … "
Fangzheng subconsciously gulped when he heard that. Following that, he pressed his palms together and said, "Amitabha."
Upon seeing this scene, Granny Zhang and Zhang Huixin recalled that Fangzheng was a monk and couldn't eat meat. She immediately laughed as she looked at the laughing Zhang Huixin. She chuckled and said, "Little Monk, look at you. You're such a good lad. You have the looks and the ability. Why do you need to become a monk? You missed out on so many beautiful things in life. Ignoring everything else, just the bacon that Huixin makes is famous for being good! If I had a say, you should renounce asceticism and stay. "
