After returning home, He Jinshu asked Aunt Wen to take out the mutton and pork hanging in the well so that he could make barbecue later.
The mutton and pork were bought from the town yesterday. Because today was the day Li Mo was leaving, Chen Chen asked his servants to buy more meat yesterday and made a big meal for Li Mo as a farewell.
Because I bought a lot, there is still a lot left, which I used to make barbecue today.
After giving instructions to Aunt Zhao, He Jinshu turned and went to the kitchen, and Chen Chen followed him.
When Grandma He saw the two of them enter the kitchen together, she didn't go over to help. Instead, she went into the house to get needle and thread and started making clothes in the main room.
After Grandpa He chatted with Grandma He in the house for a while, he went out to the workshop. He would take a walk there every day, and today was no exception.
In the kitchen, He Jinshu was preparing to make cold noodles. He had just started learning to cook, so he was not very skilled at anything. But fortunately, he was a patient person, so as long as he took his time, he would be able to make it proficient.
Half an hour later, He Jinshu finished preparing the cold noodles. He filled a bowl for Chen Chen and said to him, "You eat first. After I chop and marinate the meat, we can go to the yard to grill it."
Seeing this, Chen Chen took the bowl and started eating it in big mouthfuls. He hadn't eaten cold noodles for a long time, and the smell of it made him drool.
Seeing him eating happily, He Jinshu couldn't help but smile, and then said to him: "Eat slowly, you can have two bowls today."
Hearing this, Chen Zhen nodded while eating and said, "Ah Shu, you are so kind. I really like you so much."
He Jinshu touched his head and then went to get the ingredients for the barbecue.
In addition to the ingredients for the barbecue, he also asked Aunt Wen to kill a chicken and make chicken soup so that they could drink it after eating the barbecue.
At noon, the family sat in the yard and ate barbecue and cold noodles. The weather was over 10 degrees Celsius, neither too cold nor too hot, so it was just right to sit in the yard and eat.
After dinner, after taking a nap with Chen Zhen for a while, He Jinshu went to the study. He looked up some information about agricultural tools in the library and saw a hand-pull rice transplanter and a hand-push seed drill. He had almost drawn the pictures before, and now he wanted to improve the details.
After all the drawings are completed, they will be given to the craftsmen in the town to ask them to find a way to make it so that it can be used when sowing and transplanting rice next year.
This rice transplanter can transplant rice seedlings very quickly. It can transplant rice seedlings on 10 mu of land a day, which is almost 10 times faster than manual transplanting. If it can really be used, it can greatly reduce the burden on people doing farm work.
When Chen Zhen woke up and didn't see He Jinshu, he guessed that he must have gone to the study, so after putting on his clothes, he went to the study to find He Jinshu.
"Ah Shu, is this a picture of me?" After Chen Zhen entered the study, he saw He Jinshu seriously painting a picture. He took a closer look and saw that it was a picture of himself. In the kitchen, he was eating a bowl of cold noodles with gusto.
After He Jinshu finished writing the calligraphy, he put down his pen, picked up the painting, and said to Chen Chen, "How is the painting? Does it look like it?"
"It's quite similar, very beautiful, I like it." Chen Chen took the painting from He Jinshu's hand and said happily.
After that, he said to He Jinshu, "Shall we hang it in the bedroom later?"
"If you like it, just hang it up." He Jinshu said with a faint smile.
"Ashu, I didn't expect that you are not only good at studying, but also have such good painting skills." Chen Chen exclaimed.
He Jinshu raised his hand and tapped his nose and said, "My skills are only passable, but Dad's painting skills are truly excellent."
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhen asked, "Does Dad have any works left behind?"
"There is no such thing in this house now. Let's wait and see if it is still there in the house in the capital. So many years have passed, and I don't know if the house has been sold." He Jinshu said a little depressed.
Chen Chen noticed He Jinshu's depressed mood, so he leaned forward and kissed him, saying comfortingly: "Ah Shu, it doesn't matter if you don't have it. As long as we think of our parents in our hearts, they will always be with us."
After hearing this, He Jinshu smiled faintly and said, "Azhen is right."
After saying this, He Jinshu said to Chen Chen, "Do you want to go to the town with me tomorrow?"
The road to the town is now very flat and the speed is much faster, so Chen Zhen doesn't have to worry about any problems if he goes along.
"What are you going to do in town?" Chen Chen asked.
He Jinshu handed him some blueprints and said, "I found some farming tools. Apart from the mechanized ones, these two are the most practical at the moment, so I plan to have a craftsman make them so I can use them when I plant rice next year."
Chen Zhen looked at the drawings and said, "These all look quite simple. There's no need to start so soon, right?"
Sowing and transplanting rice seedlings will have to wait until March or April next year, which is still early.
After hearing this, He Jinshu thought for a moment and said, "It's okay if we don't do it now, we can do it after the New Year."
He originally wanted to make it first to see the effect. If it didn't work, he could make adjustments in time. Moreover, the craftsman who made this thing might need to study the principles and make some small parts, which would definitely be time-consuming.
But Ah Zhen is right. It’s still early now and there’s no need to rush. Let’s wait until after the New Year.
Seeing that He Jinshu was not going to town, Chen Chen discussed with him, "Ah Shu, do you want to go fishing in the river tomorrow?"
He Jinshu pinched his face helplessly, then said to him, "You really can't stay idle for a day. The reason you don't want me to go to town is because you want me to take you fishing, right?"
Chen Chen smiled and leaned forward to kiss He Jinshu, then said to him, "You won't let me go up the mountain, so it's okay for me to come and watch you catch fish in the river, right?"
Although November wasn't a good time for fishing, it was a bit of a chore to stay home all the time, so why not catch some fish and grill them? The river was much closer than the mountain, so John He didn't have to worry about him getting tired from walking.
After hearing this, He Jinshu said, "Then go after breakfast tomorrow. You are not allowed to go into the water. You can only watch from the side. Otherwise, I will never let you go out again."
"Okay, I promise not to go in the water. I'll just watch from the side." Chen Chen said immediately after hearing this.
