Chapter 35: Brothers Reunite (Part 1)

  Wang's situation is a bit embarrassing, it can be said that after coming over, what makes him very unhappy is the nickname "Dogzi". But thinking about it also makes sense, customs are like this, and no one thinks there's anything wrong with calling such a nickname, it's just that he himself has taken it seriously, isn't a name just a code?

  "Two sons are still in school, it's not time to get off work yet, you come with me first, and I'll go call." Wang Xiao's brother has arrived, this is a big deal, let alone reading books, it doesn't make a difference for one or two hours. In the past, Wang Kuang and Wang Xiao relied on each other for survival, later they had the Rich Guest House, but there was still some regret. Now that Wang Xiao's older brother has arrived, listening to this conversation, it seems like he is also his own flesh and blood cousin. From now on, the two brothers will have a real relative in this world again. He took Wang Da to the room where he usually ate, although it can be confirmed that this is likely Wang Xiao's paternal uncle, but still needs to be confirmed by Wang Xiao before proceeding. Before that, he dare not bring him back to his own courtyard. There are only two secrets in that courtyard, but these two secrets are the capital for Wang Kuang's future prosperity, and cannot be taken lightly.

  Third Brother happened to hear Wang Kuang's shout and rushed over. Originally, he saw the soldier being rude to Wang Kuang, and was about to step in, but seeing the situation, he quickly turned around and spread his arms to both sides, "Everyone disperse, brothers recognizing each other, what's there to see? If you want to see, go home and look at your own brother. No one will care even if it gets dark."

  "With a shout, the crowd, who were also somewhat sentimental, were called by Gao San and they all dispersed with laughter. What's there to see about brothers? It's not as good as watching wives, what's so great about big men? But there were also those who had similar experiences with Wang Kuang, still standing stupidly for a while before sighing and walking back to their own positions."

  Wang Kuang accompanied Wang Da to sit in a small room and chat, without Wang Kuang going, the inn already had clever fellows running to call Wang Xian.

  "Have the two of you finished your studies at home? Did a teacher instruct you? How did you end up coming to this inn and even becoming the young master of the inn? Is the owner of this inn also an elder from our clan?" As soon as Wang Daicai sat down, questions burst forth one after another like a string of firecrackers.

  "Let's talk about it later when Er Lang comes, by the way, now Er Lang has a name, called Xian, and I'm called Kuang. In the future, Er Lang will be seeking fame and fortune, so big brother should not call him by his nickname in front of others." Wang Kuang saw that his two sons were being called non-stop, fearing that he would again utter the words "dog son", hurriedly blocked this path. Although seeking fame and fortune mainly depends on relationships and personal talent and reputation, if a nickname is known to too many people, it's also not good, which can only prove that your background isn't very good, and you'll be looked down upon. Especially Wang Kuang's nickname was not elegant, later when trying to mix in the business world, there might be opponents who would use his nickname as a weakness.

  "Want to, want to, in the future I'll call him Er Lang anyway, and let them be, calling you Da Lang. Who would have thought that now all of you are successful, Erzi, no, Erlang has a name too, but some people still haven't given me a name, others just call me Wang Da. If Uncle and Aunt were aware in the afterlife, they'd see that you're doing well and rest their eyes."

  "But I don't know how Big Brother found his way here? And where did he go in the past few years? To be honest with Big Brother, due to an unexpected event last year, many past events have been forgotten."

  For a long time, Wang Da didn't speak, and Wang Kuang was somewhat surprised. He saw that Wang Da's eyes were empty and lifeless, his teeth clenched tightly, and his fists were clenched, shaking slightly. There must be something wrong here, Wang Kuang thought to himself, and he also didn't speak, silently sitting there sipping tea.

  After a long silence, neither of them spoke. At this moment, the door opened and Wang Kuang looked over to see Wang Rong standing stupidly in front of the door, staring at Wang Da with both eyes. Suddenly, he rushed over and hugged Wang Da excitedly: "Big brother, you really are my big brother."

  Wang Da finally woke up with a start and the two brothers hugged each other, crying bitterly. From this point on, Wang Kuang was 100% certain that the visitor was undoubtedly Wang Xiang's older brother.

  Because the room and the hall were only separated by a door, and it was a wooden wall, Wang Kuang was afraid that Wang Rui would get too excited and accidentally say something wrong. Since Wang Da was one of their own people, he didn't worry about him listening in, but he was worried that someone outside might overhear them. After the two of them cried for a while, Wang Kuang finally said: "I think this isn't a good place to talk, it's too noisy outside with so many people, let's go back to the courtyard."

  Three people returned to the backyard, but saw Sun Er leading a few workers carrying tools from the side door on the street. Seeing Wang Xiao'er, Sun Er cried with a sad face: "Little Dongjia, I've found some workers for you, take a look, no one from the inn?" Generally, people in the inn still called Wang Xiao'er "Second Master", but occasionally, like now, because of Wang's identity as "Little Dongjia", some people also called Wang Xiao'er "Little Little Dongjia", mainly because Wang was only seven years old.

  "Alright, stop looking so gloomy. I didn't let you call the people in the guest house because I was afraid it would affect business. Later, go find Uncle Sun and have him record all your wages on the account book, just say it's for helping me with the yard work. Also, have someone tell my uncle that Eldest Brother has arrived, so I won't be going over there tonight. And also, have Master Kuang prepare a simple dinner for me in the next few nights and send it to this courtyard. My brothers want to spend some time together." Originally, Sun Mingqian was planning to have Wang Kuang bring Wang Xiang along to go back to the mansion tonight to spend some time together, saying that Madam Sun hadn't seen the two brothers for a few days and was missing them.

  Wang Da looked at Wang Kuang with some surprise after he finished speaking. In his opinion, although the people in the inn called Wang Kuang "Little Dongjia", at the age of 14, it was absolutely impossible for him to interfere with the affairs of the inn. However, the scene before him made him somewhat unbelievable: from his years of experience in the military camp, he could see that the person in charge had a respectful attitude towards Wang Kuang, which was not pretended, and even towards Wang Xian, it was also very respectful, and there was a hint of affection in his words. Looking at Wang Kuang again, he casually said those words, which was completely the tone of the owner of this inn, and it was impossible to fake such a tone without long-term cultivation. With doubts in his mind, he couldn't say anything in front of everyone, so he just let it go. He didn't suspect Wang Kuang's identity at all, and he still recognized him. Earlier, he had specifically observed that when Wang Kuang took Wang Xian to pick bird eggs, he fell from the tree and hit his head, causing a piece of hair on the edge of his forehead to be broken, and since then, no hair grew there again. Although children's faces may change a lot as they grow older, this scar was absolutely impossible to fake. It's just that he never thought that he had a relative in his clan who opened an inn, let alone that this inn had been open for many years in Jian'an.

  Sun Er listened to Wang Kuang's words and happily told the workers: "Today was originally supposed to be the start of work, but you all saw that Xiao Dongjia has guests, and if you make too much noise outside digging holes, it will disturb Xiao Dongjia. Let's all go back for now and come again tomorrow. Today is just a trial run, and we'll finish everything in one day tomorrow. At noon, I'll provide food, and each of you will get a bowl of mudfish and taro. Tonight, make sure to rest well, and tomorrow do your best. Xiao Dongjia's generosity is renowned, and if you all do a good job, who knows, maybe he'll even give each of you a piece of silver."

  Everyone listened, and those who were initially unhappy about running in vain all smiled with joy. This is the authentic mud eel dish from Fulaiguesthouse, which is said to be unmatched by other guesthouses and taverns. It's said that you need to book it a few days in advance now, or else you won't get any when you arrive. Now they're lucky enough to have this treat, one bowl per person, which costs five cents, equivalent to a day's hard work. Some people couldn't believe it and asked: "Manager Sun, is there really one bowl per person tomorrow?"

  "When have you ever seen me cheat? If I say it's true, then it's true. Xiao Dong is right here, don't you trust me or should we ask Xiao Dong?"

  "Alright, alright. Then I won't eat it tomorrow, can I take it back?"

  "Hey, I didn't expect you, Li Er, to be so fond of your wife. What's going on? Can't bear to eat it yourself, bringing it back for your wife to eat? Or are you planning to have a midnight snack together in bed?" Sun Er teased Li Er, who had just gotten married recently.

  "No, no" Li's face turned red, muttering incoherently, her two hands placed in front of her body rubbing non-stop.

  "Alright, everyone can rest assured. Tomorrow, in addition to the one bowl each of you will get, if I'm satisfied with your work, I'll give each of you another bowl to take home for your family to eat. However, those labels are definitely gone." Wang Kuang secretly smiled and added a sentence, anyway, the cost of one bowl of loach taro is not even worth a penny, so giving it away doesn't matter.

  "Thank you, Xiaodong's family, thank you, Xiaodong's family. Don't worry, Xiaodong's family, tomorrow we will definitely work hard to make you satisfied." Everyone listened and left with gratitude.

  Scattering the crowd, Sun Er finally turned around and asked: "Xiao Dong's family, is this Second Brother's older brother?" Without him having to dig into his own pocket, the way he addressed Wang Xian also changed to "Second Brother". He bowed and gave Wang Da a salute: "I'm Xiao'er, the manager of the guest house. I've seen you...seen you..." After thinking for half a day, he still didn't know what to call him. Since he was Wang Xian's older brother, that made him Big Brother, but Wang Da was also here, and he was also Big Brother, which made it difficult for Sun Er to decide. He scratched his ears and thought for half a day before squeezing out a sentence: "I've seen the big and small masters."

  "Haha." Upon hearing the unusual greeting, Wang Kuang and his brother Wang Xian burst out laughing, holding their stomachs in pain. Wang Da stood there, unsure of what to do, feeling embarrassed by the greeting, not knowing who the owner of this inn was. Secondly, he had never received such treatment before, so it made him feel a bit uncomfortable.

  "Alright, alright, from now on just call me Big Brother Wang Lang. I'm Second Brother, and Xi is Third Brother. It's not a good idea to keep calling us like this all the time. You go notify everyone." Wang Kuang scratched the back of his head, finding it very difficult to make this decision, then turned to Wang Da with a smile: "Big Brother, look, since you're here, Xi and I have been demoted in rank. But if we can keep being demoted like this, that's not so bad either."
