After arriving at the mountain, Chen Zhen started looking for and digging bamboo shoots with his family.
At first, He Jinshu thought there was nothing wrong with holding his son while digging bamboo shoots, but he later found that He Sixuan was too naughty. Every time he wanted to dig bamboo shoots, the kid would mischievously reach out for the hoe.
At first, He Jinshu was afraid of hurting him, so he scolded him a few times, but he was not afraid of He Jinshu at all. He thought He Jinshu was playing with him and kept giggling at He Jinshu.
He Jinshu was very helpless about this, but he was reluctant to be too harsh on his brother, so he had to put down the hoe and stop digging bamboo shoots. He just held his brother and watched Grandma He and the others dig.
Chen Zhen hadn't been digging for long when He Siyi protested. He didn't want to be carried on his back, so he started whining.
Seeing this, Chen Zhen had no choice but to stop digging bamboo shoots and hugged him to his chest.
After Wenfeng arrived, Chen Zhen asked Wenfeng to help dig bamboo shoots here, while he and He Jinshu took the children to prepare lunch.
Spreading the straw mat that Wenfeng brought on the ground, Chen Zhen placed He Siyi on it and said to him, "Play well with your father and brother here. If you two act naughty, be careful that your father and I will beat you up."
He Siyi didn't quite understand what Chen Zhen said. After being put on the straw mat, he crawled on the mat without turning his head and played.
Seeing that he was being ignored by his son, Chen Zhen slapped his butt with his palm, and then let He Jinshu stay here to watch them while he went to the side to cook.
For lunch, Chen Zhen stewed a chicken. The adults could drink the soup later, and the chicken legs were given to the two children. The two little guys have grown teeth now, and they are not picky about food. They will eat anything given to them, and they are particularly fond of meat. It is no problem for them to each eat a chicken leg.
In addition to stewing the chicken, Chen Chen also made two beggar chickens, and then steamed some rice and eggs. He steamed a lot of eggs, and not only for the two children, but also for the adults.
Finally, I made a cold dish with mushrooms and wild vegetables picked from the mountains, and today's lunch was complete.
After the meal was ready, Chen Zhen called Grandma He, Mother Shen and others to come over for dinner.
The food was placed on the straw mats, and everyone started eating after they were seated.
After finishing their meal, everyone dug bamboo shoots for a while, and then Chen Zhen took them to pick wild fruits.
In addition to picking persimmons today, Chen Zhen also plans to take them to pick some sugar apples, apples, and wild dates.
After finding a wild apple, Chen Chen handed He Siyi to Chen's mother, and then went up the tree with Wen Feng to pick the fruit.
He Sixuan looked at him enviously from below, pointing at Chen Chen and saying that he wanted to go up too.
Seeing this, He Jinshu said, "There are bugs up there that will bite children, so you can't go up there."
He Sixuan didn't care about all this. When he saw Chen Zhen going up, he kept making a fuss about wanting to go up. When he saw that He Jinshu didn't agree, he grabbed his collar and kissed him.
Seeing this, Mother Shen said with a smile: "This Xuan'er's personality is really like that of Zhen'er when he was a child. He can't do anything that doesn't go his way."
He Jinshu was helpless about this. He was still young and could not be beaten or scolded.
Seeing that He Jinshu never took him upstairs and didn't take him upstairs even after kissing someone, He Sixuan pouted and looked at He Jinshu as if he was about to cry.
He Jinshu softened his heart upon seeing this, and then he shouted to Chen Zhen in the tree: "A Zhen, come down and bring him up to play for a while."
When Chen Chen heard He Jinshu's shout, he came down from the tree and asked, not knowing what was going on: "What happened?"
He had just climbed high and didn't know what was happening below.
Before He Jinshu could say anything, He Sixuan leaned forward and tried to climb onto Chen Zhen. He Jinshu put him into Chen Zhen's arms and said, "He wants to go up the tree with you. Take him up."
When Chen Zhen heard about this, and looked at He Sixuan's aggrieved face, he said, "Okay, then I'll take him up there to play."
After that, he said to Shen’s mother: “Mom, give Siyi to me too, I will take him up with me.”
Although He Siyi didn't make a fuss, Chen Zhen looked at him with eyes that showed he was eager to go up. He couldn't favor one over the other, so Chen Zhen decided to take both of them with him.
Mother Shen looked at He Siyi and said a little worriedly, "Is it okay for you to be like this?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhen said, "It's okay. Just tie a belt around them and then wrap it around my waist and back. Just tighten it. That way, even if they make any big movements, they won't fall off."
After hearing this, Shen's mother stopped trying to persuade him and helped him tie it up as he requested. Then she saw Shen Zhen flying up the tree with the two children.
He Siyi and He Sixuan felt the feeling of flying in the air for the first time. After Chen Zhen took them up the tree, they danced with joy, and their laughter could be heard clearly from under the tree.
Mother Shen said helplessly to Grandma He: "This Xuan brother will definitely be a cause for worry when he grows up."
Grandma He was relieved and said, "It's okay, we don't have to worry. We have Brother Xuan. I think Brother Xuan is very obedient to him sometimes."
After hearing this, Shen's mother thought about it and realized that it was up to Shen Zhen and He Jinshu to deal with whether there was a commotion or not, so they didn't need to worry about it too much.
After Chen Chen played with his two sons for a while, he brought them down. There were too many unknown small insects on the tree. It would be bad if the two children were hurt. Moreover, he couldn't do anything with the two children in his arms. It was boring to stay there for a long time.
But the two cubs were obviously dissatisfied with this. He Sixuan wanted to make a fuss and go upstairs again. Seeing this, Chen Chen said to him, "Don't make a fuss. If you make a fuss again, I won't take you upstairs anymore."
He Sixuan didn't know whether he understood what Shen Zhen said, but after Shen Zhen said that, he looked at Shen Zhen's face and knew that he was not allowed to go again, so he pouted and stopped making a fuss. Then he was obediently held in He Jinshu's arms.
When Shen's mother saw this situation, she said in her heart: This really is a case of one thing conquering another.
Several people picked fruits until after 3:00 PM, then packed up and went home.
The next day, after He Jinshu finished breakfast, he said hello to Chen Chen and prepared to go to the school in Shenjia Village.
Not long after He Jinshu finished his exam, Village Chief Shen found him and wanted him to help guide the students in Shenjia Village. Some of them were going to take the exam for scholars next year. He hoped that these students could pass the exam and become scholars under the guidance of He Jinshu.
Village Chief Shen had wanted He Jinshu to help guide him before, but considering that he was going to take the Juren exam this year, he had never said it. Now that he has finished the exam for the time being, he wanted him to guide him for the next few months. He doesn't have to come every day, just a few days each month will do.
If the village still cannot produce a scholar by February next year, Village Chief Shen will feel that this may be his fate and he will give up hope.
He Jinshu had no objection to this. Anyway, he didn't need to be too stressed out with his studies now, so it would be nice to help train a few people. He also informed Li Yu of his teaching time so that he could come and study when he was free.
