"That's not the case," Chen Chen said without any guilt, and then asked with a smile: "A Shu, do you want to compensate me?"
He Jinshu raised his hand and pinched his face, then smiled faintly and said, "I'll make it up to you after I finish the exam."
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhen nodded in satisfaction. He counted on his fingers and found that they had not been intimate for more than half a month. This was the longest time since they got married.
The family went to bed early in the evening and slept until almost noon the next day.
The two kids were the first to wake up. They slept in the middle. In order to avoid accidentally crushing them at night, Chen Chen and He Jinshu kept some distance from them.
He Sixuan was next to He Jinshu. When he woke up, he saw He Jinshu sleeping next to him. He first kicked his short legs happily, then turned over and moved towards He Jinshu.
He Siyi on the other side did the same, turning over and moving towards Chen Chen.
He Jinshu and Shen Zhen were woken up by them. After holding the two children and waking up for a while, they got up to dress them and then went to prepare food for them.
After the family had breakfast, Chen Zhen went to the kitchen to help He Jinshu prepare food for tomorrow's exam, while He Jinshu took his two sons to play in the room. The kitchen was too smelly with cooking fumes, so he didn't take his sons to watch Chen Zhen cook.
After a day's rest, He Jinshu went to take the exam as usual, and Chen Chen continued to take care of the baby at home.
This time, perhaps because they knew their father would come back, the two children were still a little unhappy, but they did not look for him everywhere like before.
A few days later, it was the day when He Jinshu was about to finish his exams.
The exam ended at 4 p.m., and Chen Chen still took his son to pick up He Jinshu outside the exam room in advance. When they arrived, there were already quite a few people waiting outside.
Fortunately, it is a cloudy day today, so people don’t feel particularly hot.
As soon as the hour of You arrived, He Jinshu handed in his paper and walked out of the examination room carrying his suitcase.
After getting on the carriage, He Jinshu told Wen Feng to drive home. On the way back, Chen Chen teased, "Finally, the exam is over. I don't have to be so smelly for a while."
He Jinshu nodded slightly when he heard this, then reached out and pinched his two sons' hands.
The two sons hadn't seen He Jinshu for several days. Although they still disliked the smell of He Jinshu and didn't let him hold them, each of them grabbed one of He Jinshu's fingers and didn't let go all the way.
After arriving home, just like the previous two times, He Jinshu took a shower first, and then the family had dinner together.
After feeding his son, Chen Chen asked He Jinshu while eating, "Should we wait until you announce the results before leaving, or should we leave in the next few days?"
"Just leave Wenfeng here to look at the list, let's go back first." He Jinshu said.
"Okay, then you take a day off tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow we'll go out and stroll around the city and buy some fresh food for our parents and grandparents before we go back." Chen Chen nodded.
He Jinshu hadn't had a good rest recently. The exam room was small and the sleeping surface was made of hardwood, making it difficult for him to stretch out. So Chen Chen asked him to have a good rest tomorrow and they would go out shopping the day after tomorrow.
"Okay." He Jinshu responded.
However, He Jinshu could not rest the next day. Many students who had finished their exams came to him and gave him visiting cards, wanting to have a chat with him. Even some merchants in the city sent visiting cards, wanting to meet him in person.
He Jinshu did not refuse this. After all, he was just a scholar now. It would be bad for his reputation if he kept rejecting others in a condescending manner.
However, he still refused invitations to attend banquets outside on the grounds of taking care of his children, and only chatted with others at home.
After seeing off a few more guests, Chen Chen teased him, "I see quite a few merchants are here. Are they planning to marry their daughters or sons off to you? After all, you're a potential stock."
He Jinshu raised his eyebrows when he heard this and asked, "What? Are you jealous?"
After hearing this, Chen Zhen said proudly: "I don't need to be jealous. They can't marry you anyway."
John Horgan did not comment on this.
After Chen Zhen finished speaking, he continued, "But Ah Shu, although I won't let anyone else marry me, Ah Shu, you must take good care of yourself physically and mentally when you go out! If you accidentally get married to someone else, I won't want you anymore. I will also take your son away and give him my last name."
He Jinshu glanced at Chen Chen upon hearing this, and then asked, "Why? You're not going to remarry this time, and let my son call someone else dad?"
"Isn't this a different situation?" Chen Chen said with a smile, "Last time he lost his life, this time he's fallen in love with someone else, so one thing is the other."
He Jinshu looked at his smiling face, raised his hand and pinched his cheek, then said softly but firmly: "My father has only my mother in his life, and the same is true for me."
After hearing this, Chen Zhen nodded very satisfied, and a very proud expression appeared on his face. If he had a tail, he would have wagged it a long time ago.
After dealing with people coming and going all day, the family took their sons out to visit the city after dinner the next day.
Because of the imperial examination, the flow of people in the capital city increased a lot, and naturally there were many people strolling around the streets.
Chen Chen and He Jinshu took their two sons to buy a lot of toys that children can play with.
The two kids are particularly excited today. They want everything new they see. Even if they see a pile of shit on the road, they will point it out and then shout.
After taking them for a walk outside, Chen Chen and He Jinshu took their sons to visit the shops on the street.
After all, it is the most prosperous place in the state, so there are many more fun things than in Linshe County.
The two of them first went into a jewelry store and picked out a lot of jewelry for their family and two dolls.
The shopkeeper watched Chen Chen selecting things without blinking, and asked uncertainly, "Sir, do you want to pay for all these things?"
Chen Chen held his son in his arms and nodded nonchalantly, saying, "Yes, pack them all for me. I'll pay the bill later."
There are many people in their family, and everyone has to bring at least one or two items, so they bought a lot of them.
The shopkeeper, noticing the arrival of a big customer, quickly said, "Okay, I'll pack it for you right away."
After Chen Zhen finished talking to the shopkeeper, he continued shopping. As he walked, he asked He Jinshu, "Ah Shu, have you seen anything you like? How about I buy you a hair crown? I see many scholars in the city wearing this, and it will definitely look good on you."
"Okay, if you like, just pick two." He Jinshu nodded.
Upon hearing this, Chen Chen didn't hesitate and directly selected three beautiful hair crowns and asked the shopkeeper to pack them up.
Seeing Chen Zhen buying things so generously, the shopkeeper couldn't help but look at them again, confirming that he had never seen the two of them in the capital city.
Although their clothes were not fancy, the material of the clothes was definitely not cheap. It was not known where these two rich young masters and husbands came from, but they had a very good relationship, and the two children in their arms were also adorable. It was the first time he saw a father holding his own children while shopping.
