After Brother Shen left the house, he went to the private school. When he arrived, he happened to meet He Jinshu going out.
When He Jinshu saw Brother Shen, he asked in surprise, "Why are you here, brother?"
Brother Shen glanced at He Jinshu and said in a slightly bad tone, "Come and take you back for dinner."
After that, he continued, "My brother comes to pick you up for dinner every day?"
"Yes." He Jinshu nodded and said lightly.
Hearing this, Big Brother Shen said dissatisfiedly, "You're such a grown-up, are you still afraid of getting lost? And you asked him to come out to pick you up in such hot weather?"
After hearing this, He Jinshu looked at Brother Shen and said seriously, "If your sister-in-law volunteers to pick you up from school every day, what will you do?"
Brother Shen was choked by these words and didn't know what to say. He could only blame his younger brother for liking this person too much.
Then Brother Shen went home with He Jinshu with a sour face.
After arriving home, Chen Chen took He Jinshu's bookcase and said to him, "Come sit down and eat. I made cold bean curd skin today."
He bought freshly ground soy milk in town this morning, then added some brine and pressed the soy skin into a paste.
He Jinshu nodded and said yes, then greeted Shen's mother and sat down to prepare for dinner.
He Jinshu only started to pick up food and eat after Shen's mother started to use her chopsticks.
While eating, Mother Shen said to He Jinshu: "Jinshu, you are going to take the imperial examination next year, right?"
“Yes.” After He Jinshu swallowed the food in his mouth, he looked up and answered Shen’s mother’s question seriously.
Upon hearing this, Mother Shen said, “Then you should study hard, don’t feel any pressure, and don’t be afraid of spending money, because Brother Zhen is very good at making money.
We can't help you with your studies, but if you have any needs in life, you can tell Brother Ting or me, and we will do our best to meet your requirements."
"Okay, thank you, mom." He Jinshu nodded and said.
Seeing He Jinshu's well-behaved appearance, Mother Shen nodded unconsciously. Ever since she knew that He Jinshu was not incompetent, she felt that she liked He Jinshu more and more.
He is good-looking, good at studying, and has good character. Maybe their Shen family will really have someone who becomes an official in the future. This is really a blessing from their ancestors.
Not long after dinner, Mother Shen and Brother Shen drove away in a carriage. After seeing them off, He Jinshu also went to the private school to study.
Chen Zhen was thinking about going out to the street to buy some duck eggs. The cold bean curd he made today suddenly reminded him that he could also make cold preserved eggs.
But there were no preserved eggs at home, so he decided to buy some duck eggs and make them himself.
There is no unified place selling duck eggs on the street. Generally, farmers raise ducks themselves and save the eggs after they lay. When they have accumulated a certain number, they take them to the town to sell.
After walking around and buying 70 duck eggs from three people, Chen Chen returned to his house and began to wash the duck eggs.
After the moisture on the duck eggs has dried, they are coated with mud made of a mixture of wood ash, lime and alkali. Then the duck eggs coated with mud are placed in a clay pot, sealed, and placed in a cool and ventilated place for a month before they can be eaten.
After pickling the duck eggs, Chen Chen started to prepare lunch.
When He Jinshu came back for dinner that night, Chen Chen asked He Jinshu, "Ah Shu, should we rebuild our house into a brick house?"
Mud houses are not as spacious as brick houses, and mud houses are too humid.
He Jinshu shook his head and said, "No need."
"Why? If we don't live here, grandpa and grandma will have to live here too." Chen Chen asked in confusion.
After hearing what Chen Chen said, He Jinshu was silent for a while, and then said: "If you are willing to build it, then build it."
"Okay, then I'll go back to Shenjia Village tomorrow to discuss this matter with my grandparents." Chen Chen picked up a piece of meat for He Jinshu and said.
He Jinshu nodded when he heard this.
When they went to bed at night, He Jinshu pressed Chen Chen under him, kissed his neck, and said vaguely: "Didn't you say that before?"
Chen Chen put his arms around He Jinshu's waist and nodded when he heard what he said, "Yes."
I want to study it, Chen Zhen thought to himself.
He Jinshu raised his head, staring at Chen Chen with his cold eyes for a moment, then lowered his head and kissed his lips, saying as he did so, "Then let's try our best, and hopefully we can find him next year."
"Okay." Chen Chen responded in the gap between He Jinshu's kisses.
After a while of indulging in pleasure, it was already midnight when they fell asleep.
The next day, after Chen Zhen had breakfast and sent He Jinshu off, he went to Mo Yuexuan. He had to go back to the village today and would definitely not have time to come back to cook at noon, so he planned to order food here and have them deliver one portion to the private school at noon.
After explaining everything to the shopkeeper, Chen Chen returned to Wujia Village.
Li Mo was a little surprised to see Chen Chen coming back: "Brother Chen, why are you back? Why aren't you staying in town with Jin Shu?"
Chen Chen parked the carriage and said, "I came back for something. Where's Grandma He?"
"Feeding the chickens in the backyard."
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhen went straight to the backyard, found Grandma He, and told her about building a house.
Hearing this, Grandma He said to Chen Chen with a bit of guilt: "Brother Chen, it's really hard for you to marry into our He family."
After hearing this, Chen Zhen pretended to be angry and said, "Grandma, if you say this again, I will really be angry. We are a family, there is no need to be so polite."
"Okay, okay, grandma, can't I just stop saying it in the future?" The guilty look on Grandma He's face faded, and then turned into a smile as she said.
