Since Chen Chen was still taking medicine, He Jinshu only let him drink one glass of fruit wine and then stopped him.
After eating for a while, Grandpa He said to Chen Chen: "Brother Chen, if there is anything in the workshop, you can leave it to me. I have done business before, so it should not be a problem for me to help you look at the account books and manage the workshop."
"Okay," Chen Chen nodded and said, "Grandpa will take care of the workshop from now on. If you have any questions, you can ask me and Ah Shu directly. Also, when there's time, you can ask Ah Shu to teach you a faster way to calculate the accounts. That way you can save a lot of time."
When Grandpa He heard there was a faster way to settle the accounts, he asked curiously, "What is it?"
"I'll give the form to grandpa after dinner, and he'll know the answer after taking a look at it," He Jinshu interrupted.
Chen Zhen had previously taught He Jinshu and the others the multiplication formulas and some addition, subtraction, multiplication and division operations. That method was much faster than using an abacus when it came to calculations.
Grandpa He nodded when he heard this and didn't ask any more questions.
After the family had a warm meal, He Jinshu explained some calculation formulas to his grandfather, then washed up and went back to his room to sleep.
The next day after breakfast, Chen Chen and his friends said hello to Grandpa He and Grandma He, then took their tools and went to Shenjia Village to ask Mother Shen if they wanted to go to the mountains to dig winter bamboo shoots.
Of course, Chen's mother had to go. She was still muttering a few days ago that since Chen Zhen was not here this year, they would definitely have to dig fewer bamboo shoots, because every year it was Chen Zhen who took them to the mountains to dig bamboo shoots, and Chen Zhen was very good at finding bamboo shoots. Generally, there would be few places he pointed to that would not have bamboo shoots.
"Do you want to ride with us?" asked Shen's mother.
Chen Chen shook his head and said, "No, I'll run over there with Ah Shu." The mountain road was bumpy, and taking a car was not as good as running.
Seeing this, Mother Shen didn’t try to persuade them any further, and got into the car with everyone else.
Knowing that they were going up the mountain to dig bamboo shoots today, other people in the village also wanted to join in the fun, so Mother Shen directly asked Brother Shen to drive the carriage to take them to Eagle Wing Mountain.
When they were halfway through the run, He Jinshu asked Chen Chen, "Ah Chen, how are you feeling? Do you feel any discomfort in your stomach?"
Chen Chen shook his head and said, "Ashu, it's okay, don't worry too much. If I feel uncomfortable, I will tell you."
He Jinshu nodded when he heard this and said nothing more.
Li Mo said as he ran, "Brother-in-law, you are really awesome." Even though he was not feeling well, he could still run with them, and his speed was not much slower than theirs.
"That's nothing." Chen Chen raised his chin and said.
Because they originally wanted to experience the fun of digging bamboo shoots today, Chen Chen did not call Lin Yi and the others over. After arriving at the mountain, everyone took a hoe and started digging bamboo shoots by themselves.
When they found another winter bamboo shoot, Li Mo asked Chen Chen while digging: "Brother-in-law, how did you find these? Do you have any tricks?"
Li Mo had never been involved in digging winter bamboo shoots before. He thought it was fun the first time, especially the process of finding bamboo shoots. Without some skills and abilities, whether you can dig bamboo shoots or not depends entirely on your luck.
Upon hearing this, Chen Chen said calmly, "I don't know, it's all based on my feeling."
Then your feeling is quite accurate, Li Mo thought to himself.
After He Jinshu dug out a winter bamboo shoot, Chen Chen said to him, "Ah Shu, give me the hoe, I'll dig for a while."
He Jinshu didn't give him the hoe after hearing this. Instead, he said, "Then you can only dig three. After you dig three, you must return the hoe to me."
"Five." Chen Chen bargained.
"Three." He Jinshu looked at him with a stern face and said.
Seeing this, Chen Zhen had no choice but to compromise and said, "Okay, then three."
After hearing this, He Jinshu handed the hoe to Chen Chen.
Mother Shen, who was digging bamboo shoots nearby, heard the conversation between the two and said with a smile, "Jinshu still has a way to deal with Brother Zhen. Usually when he is at home, as long as he wants to do something, almost no one can persuade him to do it."
He Jinshu felt a little embarrassed when he heard this and said, "Sometimes I can't control him either."
Upon hearing this, Chen Chen said, "Ashu, why can't you control me? You've been controlling me so tightly."
After hearing this, Mother Shen laughed and scolded: “As a brother, can you be more reserved?”
"Mom, you don't understand. If I were more reserved, I wouldn't be able to find a partner as good as Ah Shu." Chen Chen said proudly.
After hearing this, Mother Shen rolled her eyes at him and said, "You are the only one who has too many crooked ideas."
The group dug with laughter until noon, then stopped to rest, eat something, and continue digging in the afternoon.
Eagle Wing Mountain is neither close nor far, but it takes a lot of time to run up there, so I just dig more bamboo shoots at one time and then go back.
In the afternoon, Chen Chen did not dig bamboo shoots with Shen's mother and the others, but went to a higher place on the mountain with He Jinshu, Li Mo and Brother Shen to pick wild persimmons.
Every year from October to November, the persimmon trees in the mountains would bear a lot of fruit. He had asked the servants to pick some for him to eat. Now that he had finally made it to the mountain, he wanted to go up there and take a look.
After arriving at the place, Brother Shen and Li Mo skillfully climbed up the tree to pick persimmons, while Chen Chen and He Jinshu were responsible for catching the persimmons below.
After picking up the persimmons for a while, Chen Chen felt itchy and begged He Jinshu, "Ah Shu, can I go up and pick some persimmons for a while? I promise I won't get myself into trouble."
He Jinshu looked at Chen Chen's expectant eyes and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Forget it, he hadn't been to the mountain for more than half a month. Let him go if he wants to.
Thinking of this, he pinched Chen Zhen's face and said to him, "Then go ahead, but you can only stay there for a cup of tea."
"Okay, Ah Shu, you are so nice." Chen Chen said happily, then turned around and climbed up the tree like a monkey.
Brother Shen watched him climb up the tree so quickly, and said to him helplessly: "Slow down, the tree won't move away, why are you climbing so fast?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhen chuckled, ignoring Brother Shen's helplessness, and just reached out to pick persimmons from the tree.
He Jinshu looked at Chen Zhen's happy expression from below, shook his head helplessly, and thought: Perhaps his parents never thought that their son would marry someone with such a personality?
When I was a child, I wanted to marry someone as beautiful as my mother. I never thought that although my mother looked as beautiful as my mother, her personality was completely different.
Probably because the persimmons had been picked by others along the way, the number of persimmons they picked this time was not large, only 70 or 80.
After picking the persimmons, several people went down the mountain to meet up with Shen's mother and the others. After digging winter bamboo shoots for a while, they packed up and went down the mountain.
