The days passed leisurely, and in the blink of an eye it was mid-December. The guesthouse in Wujia Village was completed today. Village chief Wu asked He Jinshu to name the guesthouse two days ago, and asked him to write a calligraphy, and had a plaque made. The doorplate can be hung up today.
He Jinshu named it "Keyouyuan", hoping that guests can experience the leisurely and pleasant rural life here.
After the guesthouse is built, we can organize the villagers to start rebuilding their houses next year, and then build the school together with Shenjia Village. When the flowers, plants and trees on the hillside grow up next year, the two villages can start welcoming guests.
A few days later, the workshops in the village temporarily stopped working after settling the last batch of orders and prepared for the New Year.
Just like last year, the villagers invited people to perform acrobatics and sing operas during the Little New Year this year.
However, this time Chen Chen was not asked to pay, but the villagers. The village chief had already distributed the last share before the New Year in advance, and every household in the village received a lot of silver and money.
In appreciation of this year's hard work and harvest, as well as to express gratitude to Chen Chen and He Jinshu's family, the villagers spontaneously paid people to perform operas and acrobatics to liven up the New Year in advance.
Early that morning, after breakfast, Chen Chen and He Jinshu came out with their two sons, ready to take them to see a circus.
The stage was built in the village threshing ground. Every household brought their own stools to watch, and those who didn’t want to sit could stand and watch.
Chen Chen was afraid that He Sixuan would shout loudly because he was too happy, so he held him and stood to the side to avoid disturbing others.
He Jinshu held He Siyi and sat next to Chen Zhen.
When the acrobatics began, just as Chen Chen had expected, He Sixuan was extremely excited. Sometimes he opened his eyes wide and said "huh" to express his confusion, sometimes he said "ah" to express why it was like this, and sometimes he kicked his legs and clapped his hands excitedly. He did it non-stop. The excitement of other people's acrobatics could not compare to the excitement on his face.
Seeing that he was enjoying himself, Chen Zhen ignored him and let him do whatever he wanted. After all, He Sixuan's voice was not loud and would not affect others.
After watching this play, everyone officially entered the excitement of the New Year. This year, every household was generous and bought some chicken, duck, fish and mutton to take home so that their family members could eat enough meat this year.
Of course, almost all the chickens and ducks were bought from Chen Zhen. Seeing this, Chen Zhen was not stingy and directly asked his servants to sell them to the villagers at a few cents cheaper than the market price.
On the 25th of the lunar year, Li Mo came back from the county town. Recently, he had been busy with the opening of a shop in the county town and seldom went home.
Seeing him come back, Chen Zhen teased, "How's it going? Is business good?"
"That must be easy to do," Li Mo said with a smile, "We sell more every day than the town does."
Upon hearing this, Grandma He said, "Have you made a lot of money in the past few months? Isn't it time to get married?"
After hearing this, Li Mo quickly said, "Grandma, I just came back. I'll go wash up first!"
After saying that, he quickly picked up the package he brought back and went back to the room.
Seeing this, Grandma He scolded him, "This child, I just want him to get married, not to do anything bad. Why is he resisting so much?"
Chen Chen watched Li Mo running faster than a rabbit and gossiped to He Jinshu, "Ah Shu, do you think Brother Mo has something to hide?"
Otherwise, why didn't she want to get married? Could it be that she was just like Ah Shu back then, not ready?
Before He Jinshu could say anything, Grandma He interrupted, "Brother Zhen, what's that unspeakable addiction?"
Just as Chen Zhen was about to speak, He Jinshu interrupted her: "Grandma, maybe Brother Mo has someone he likes."
When He Jinshu heard Chen Zhen talking about his unspeakable addiction, he had a bad feeling. He was afraid that Chen Zhen would say something lewd again, so he quickly interrupted him.
Hearing this, Grandma He was puzzled and asked, "If he has someone he likes, why doesn't he want to get married? He's 20 years old now. Isn't it a waste of time to delay things?"
"Maybe they don't agree?" He Jinshu continued, "You can ask him later during dinner."
Grandma He had no choice but to do so after hearing this, but by the time they had dinner, she still hadn't figured out the reason.
After bathing the two children and coaxing them to sleep in the evening, Chen Chen asked He Jinshu, "Ah Shu, why did you interrupt me today?"
"If I don't interrupt you, are you going to say that Brother Mo is no longer capable?" He Jinshu glanced at him and said lightly.
After hearing this, Chen Chen chuckled and said, "Ah Shu, tell me, does Brother Mo have some problems too?"
He Jinshu angrily slapped Chen Chen on the head, then said speechlessly, "Can you please stop thinking about everything? I'm fine, and Brother Mo is fine too."
Chen Zhen covered his forehead, which had been hit, and asked with a bit of dissatisfaction: "Then why didn't you want to marry me in the beginning? And Brother Mo doesn't want to get married now either. And you two are brothers, it's hard not to be suspicious?"
"I don't want to get married because I haven't avenged my parents yet, and I don't want to involve any extra people and affect my plans. As for why Brother Mo doesn't want to get married, I don't know the specific reason, but it definitely has nothing to do with it." He Jinshu explained speechlessly.
After saying that, he warned Chen Zhen again: "Don't say the word 'no' casually in the future. Do you hear me? If you dare to tell others again, be careful or I won't sleep with you anymore."
