He Jinshu was not worried at all about his rogue behavior. He just said lightly: "I don't know what mother would think when she knew about this."
After hearing this, Chen Zhen was discouraged and said, "Ashu, you are really too mean."
He couldn't even pass the test of He Jinshu, and now with Shen's mother, he definitely won't be able to go.
He Jinshu didn't say anything after hearing this. He wrote the last word, put down the pen, put away the bill, and said to Chen Chen, "Let's go. Didn't you say you wanted to eat boiled chicken yesterday? I'll make it for you today."
After hearing this, Chen Zhen leaned back in his chair, touched his abdomen, and said in a displeased manner, "I'm in a bad mood today and have no appetite."
"You really don't want to eat?" He Jinshu asked calmly, "If you don't want to eat, then I'll just ask Aunt Wen to make some stir-fried vegetables for lunch."
"No, I'll eat it." Chen Chen stood up and said a little dissatisfiedly after hearing this.
It's fine if he can't go for the Lantern Festival, but if he doesn't eat something good, wouldn't that be an even bigger loss? He won't do such a loss-making business.
He Jinshu smiled when he heard this. He raised his hand and pinched Chen Zhen's face, then hugged him out of the study and into the kitchen.
In the town, Manager Qian announced at noon the next day after getting the recipe that Mo Yue Xuan Restaurant had developed sweet and sour spare ribs and sweet and sour poached eggs.
As soon as the news came out, it immediately attracted a lot of people. Everyone wanted to see what the sweet and sour spare ribs and sweet and sour poached eggs looked like, and more importantly, how they tasted.
Seeing this, Shopkeeper Qian no longer kept the suspense and directly put the two things on the table.
After asking several guests to taste the dishes, they all praised the two dishes. Seeing this, other people who came to watch the fun no longer hesitated and ordered the two dishes at Mo Yuexuan.
Because of these two dishes, Mo Yuexuan has been crowded these days, with many people queuing up to buy these two dishes. Due to the shortage of eggs, Shopkeeper Qian also bought a lot of eggs from the He family.
The food frenzy lasted for several days, reaching its peak on the Lantern Festival.
On the Lantern Festival, many boys and girls in Wujia Village make an appointment to go to the town to watch the lanterns. Nowadays, the status of boys and girls in Wujia Village has improved a lot compared to the past.
Although they still did not receive preferential treatment in some families with older concepts, at the strong request of Village Chief Wu, at least their families would not treat them harshly.
Therefore, when the villagers knew that it was Chen Chen who made this request, the boys and girls in the village were quite friendly to him. On the Lantern Festival, they would come to ask him if he wanted to go to the town to see the lanterns.
He Jinshu didn't let Chen Zhen go, so Chen Zhen naturally couldn't just run out to see it, so he rejected their invitation.
Seeing this, everyone understood. After all, there were many people today, so it would be better for Chen Zhen not to go, so as to avoid collisions that would affect his health. After saying hello to Chen Zhen, everyone walked to the town.
Nowadays, the roads in Wujia Village are flat. Although there are still relatively few ox-drawn and horse-drawn carts in the village and not everyone can ride in a cart, it is much easier to walk there than before, and there is no need to worry about muddy puddles on the road getting your shoes dirty.
After sending the people away, Chen Zhen returned to the main hall and said with a sad face to Grandma He who was sitting there sewing clothes: "Grandma, I feel so sad!"
After hearing this, Grandma He suppressed her laughter and said, "My dear, there are too many people here today, so let's not go to the town."
After hearing this, Chen Zhen sighed helplessly, as if this was the only way.
"Grandma, where is Ah Shu?" After being depressed for a while, Chen Zhen cheered up and asked. He seemed to have not seen He Jinshu since he woke up from his nap.
Grandma He said as she sewed clothes, "Xiao Mo went to play in the town today, and Xiao Shu said he was going to the mountains to take a look and bring back some winter bamboo shoots."
After hearing this, Chen Chen nodded and said to Grandma He, "Grandma, you and Grandpa really don't plan to go to the town to see what's happening? Although the town is not as big as the county town, the Lantern Festival every year is still quite lively, and there are many fun and delicious things to eat."
"No, grandpa and grandma are old, so they don't want to join in the fun. There are too many people, and it's not convenient for us with our old limbs to go." Grandma He said with a smile.
Seeing this, Chen Zhen stopped trying to persuade her and changed the subject to talk about something else.
At 5 p.m., He Jinshu returned from the mountain.
Seeing that he was a little dirty and his hair was a little messy, Chen Chen asked in confusion: "Ashu, what did you do in the mountains? How did you get into this state?"
He Jinshu felt a little uncomfortable when he heard that and said, "Nothing. I'm going to take a shower first. Ah Zhen, go to the room and get me some clothes." After that, he went straight to the bathroom.
Although Chen Zhen felt a little strange seeing this, he still went to the room to get his clothes and then took them to the bathroom.
After He Jinshu came out of the shower, he said to Chen Chen, "Is the meal ready? I'm a little hungry."
"It should be soon," Chen Chen said, "You go to the main room and wait for a while. I'll go to the kitchen to check."
While the two were talking, Grandma He came out of the kitchen and said to them, "It's ready, come and eat."
Seeing this, He Jinshu helped to bring the food to the table, and then the family sat down to eat.
After finishing the meal, He Jinshu took Chen Chen back to the room.
As Chen Zhen followed him to the room, he said, "Ah Shu, what time is it now? We don't need to go back to the room so early, right?"
The main thing is that it's okay to go back to the room! He doesn't want to accompany John Hodges to read in the library during the holidays.
He Jinshu did not respond to Chen Zhen's words, but brought the person into the room and closed the door.
Then he took out a set of clothes from the closet and said to Chen Chen, "Put on this set of clothes."
When Chen Zhen saw the clothes, he said in surprise, "Ah Shu, are you willing to take me to the street to see the lanterns?"
This set of clothes is a style of clothing that some cloth shops in the town will specially launch for some young men during the Lantern Festival every year. The colors are very bright and it looks very festive.
Chen Zhen had never worn these clothes before. He thought the colors were very tacky and made him look like a peacock.
But I didn't expect that He Jinshu would actually take out a set of this clothes for him to wear today. Does this mean that he is going to take him to the town to see the lanterns?
Although it was a little late, the family had a carriage, so if they went to the town now, they would still have time to see the lanterns. After all, there was no curfew until after midnight on the Lantern Festival.
"Not going to town." He Jinshu said as he untied his belt.
After hearing this, Chen Zhen's excitement disappeared immediately. He said with a bit of disappointment, "Then why did you let me wear this dress?"
"You'll know soon." He Jinshu kissed his face and said.
