After taking their two children to guess lantern riddles in town, winning a lantern, and then buying another lantern, Chen Chen and He Jinshu took the two children to the river to release river lanterns.
There were already quite a few people standing by the river. Chen Chen and He Jinshu bought four river lanterns from a shop not far away, two for adults and two for children.
He Jinshu wrote words on the two adults' lanterns, and he painted a cute tiger head on the child's lantern, and even paid the boss some extra money for the paint.
When He Siyi and He Sixuan saw the river lanterns with patterns in their hands, they obviously liked them very much. They held them in both hands and were reluctant to put them into the river.
It was not until they saw the river lanterns released by Chen Zhen and the others floated away, and heard Chen Zhen say that if they didn't release one now they would not be able to catch up with their father's river lanterns, that the two of them released them into the river.
After releasing the river lanterns, they strolled around for a while, bought some food, and then went to the house in the town, planning to stay there for one night and go back tomorrow.
Someone was called in to clean the house in town yesterday, and it is now habitable.
After taking a bath that night, Chen Chen and He Jinshu cuddled their two sons and coaxed them to sleep while chatting, "Ah Shu, the emperor sent so many rewards, but I haven't heard of any punishment for the invigilators. This is too much of a cover-up for them."
He Jinshu was silent for a moment and then said, "My father's case was closed in an unclear manner."
Upon hearing this, Chen Chen said angrily, "This emperor is too bullying. You and Dad have made so many contributions to the court, and then you were framed, and he even helped those who framed you. This is simply too much."
After saying that, Chen Chen asked He Jinshu again: "Ah Shu, what if he doesn't overturn Dad's verdict in the future?"
"I will definitely find a way to overturn Dad's verdict." He Jinshu said softly but firmly.
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhen said, "Yes, we must overturn Dad's verdict, otherwise we will overthrow him and become the master ourselves."
He Jinshu was no longer surprised by Chen Zhen's bold remarks. He chuckled when he heard this and then asked, "Can you stay in the palace?"
"I definitely can't stay here." Chen Chen said confidently, "But I can make some sacrifices for you. After a few years, you can give your position to Si Yi. That way, we can go out and have fun again."
He Jinshu thought to himself when he heard this: You are such a responsible father.
Then he said, "It's too early to say this now. Let's see the situation after we get to the capital and make a conclusion."
After saying that, he gave another instruction: "I suspect they will definitely find a way to take action in the days ahead. When you return, tell the servants to be extra careful in everything and avoid being taken advantage of."
"Okay, I understand." Chen Chen nodded.
After chatting about this, the two of them put their sleeping son in the middle and went to sleep.
The bed in the bedroom of this house is much smaller than that at home. In order to prevent the children from turning over and falling in the middle of the night, Chen Chen and He Jinshu had to sleep separately.
After the Lantern Festival, everyone officially started to be busy. The people in Wujia Village were busy building their own houses and the village school.
Chen Chen and He Jinshu were busy taking care of two children who were about to learn to walk on their own, helping County Magistrate Feng plan the construction of Linshe County, and then giving advice to the students who were about to go to the provincial capital for exams in February.
There are a total of 8 towns in Linshe County. Chen Chen feels that he cannot take too big a step at once. After all, one cannot become a big fat man in one bite.
So he planned to open a new canned fruit factory and a flower cake workshop, and then separate the pickled mustard greens and fermented black bean sauce from the Wujia Village workshop and build a branch factory in another location. Because these two products were the best-selling products, relying solely on Wujia Village would definitely lead to a shortage of supply in the future.
In this way, in addition to working in factories, people in Linshe County can also sell the products produced in the workshops outside, just like Wangji Village. Another thing is that they can plant fruit trees, soybeans and other raw materials, and then sell these things to Chen Zhen to make money.
In addition, each village and town will encourage people to actively reclaim wasteland and cultivate land. After all, grain production has increased now, and with rice transplanters and seed drills, they don’t have to work too hard. Therefore, the income from two seasons of rice each year can also greatly improve their living standards.
These are Chen Zhen’s temporary plans. If he does well in the future, he will develop other industries.
This time, Chen Zhen's workshop still adopts the assembly line production method. People in more important positions are required to sign confidentiality agreements. If they are violated, they will be required to pay compensation.
As for the supervision of the factory, Chen Chen directly let Lin Yi and the others alone. He had a lot of things to do in the future, and now was a good opportunity to train their abilities.
County Magistrate Feng also got involved in the canning factory and the flower cake workshop. Chen Chen had no objection to this. After all, with County Magistrate Feng around, at least no one in Linshe County would be willing to cause trouble.
The days passed in this busy manner for nearly two months, and it was time for the announcement of the results of the scholar examination. His two sons could already walk unsteadily on their short legs.
In the yard, Chen Chen was holding a homemade Cuju in his hand and teasing the two children, "Sixuan and Siyi, come over here quickly. Daddy will play Cuju with you if you come over."
When He Sixuan heard this, he just said angrily: "I don't want to play with Dad." Then he turned around and went to the eaves to find Grandma He.
Dad is so mean. Every time I walk up to him, he runs away immediately. He doesn't want to play Cuju with me at all.
After hearing what Chen Chen said, He Siyi first looked at Chen Chen, then looked at his brother who was leaving with small steps, and then followed him to the eaves, ready to find a stool to rest. He also felt that his father was too bad and always lied to them, and he didn't want to play with his father anymore.
Seeing that she had failed to trick her two sons this time and seemed to have angered them, Chen Zhen went to the kitchen in a bad mood and made some loquat juice for them.
Grandma He was sitting under the eaves embroidering clothes. Every time she saw how Chen Zhen interacted with her two sons, she felt both funny and helpless. She didn't know why Chen Zhen always liked to tease the two children and had to make them angry before coaxing them.
These two children were easy to coax. After giving them some food and drinks and playing with them for a while, their anger subsided and they went back to playing with Chen Zhen.
It goes on and on like this, and the people watching just want to laugh. It's really a case of both sides willing to fight and be beaten.
Chen Zhen handed a cup of the prepared loquat juice to Grandma He, and then handed the remaining two cups to the two children. After they finished drinking, Chen Zhen said, "Dad will take you out to play, do you want to go?"
He Sixuan said upon hearing this: "I'm angry and won't go."
It means that he is still angry with Chen Zhen and he doesn’t want to go out.
"Really not going?" Chen Chen asked with a smile, "I heard that someone was fishing by the river today, and Dad was about to go and see."
He Sixuan's eyes rolled around after hearing this, and then he said, "Dad apologizes, and we'll go."
After saying that, she pointed at him and He Siyi, meaning to apologize to him and his brother, so he followed her.
