Chen Zhen was naturally satisfied with Chen Fang's flattery and praise.
The next day after breakfast, Chen Chen occupied the kitchen. He prepared to cook a big meal and send it to He Jinshu.
Braised pork, crispy chicken, three-cup duck, an assorted vegetable dish, a dessert, and rice make the meal complete.
"Uncle San, the dessert smells so good! Can I have one?" Three-year-old Shen Xiang smelled the fragrance and ran to the kitchen with her short legs to ask Shen Chen.
The desserts made by Uncle San are all beautiful and pink! They smell so good too. She really wants to have one.
As Chen Zhen put the lotus cakes into the box, he said to Shen Xiang, "No, Xiangxiang, this is what your Third Uncle made for your Third Uncle. Next time when you have time, your Third Uncle will make it for you, okay?"
"Okay then." Shen Xiang nodded sensibly, "Uncle, don't forget next time. You must remember to make it for Xiangxiang, otherwise Xiangxiang will be very sad."
After putting everything into the food box and closing the lid, Chen Zhen smiled and patted Shen Xiang's head. Then, he said with a smile, "Third Uncle will definitely remember this. Now Third Uncle has to go and do some serious work. You can go and have fun by yourself."
After watching the little guy leave the kitchen, Chen Chen picked up the food box and prepared to give it to He Jinshu.
When they were about to drive the carriage out, Big Brother Shen walked up to Chen Chen and said, "Brother Chen, I'll go with you."
Chen Chen wanted to refuse, but then he thought that if he took Brother Shen with him, he could help look after the carriage, so he nodded and said, "Then Brother, please don't talk nonsense when the time comes. Ah Shu is a shy person."
After hearing this, Brother Shen rubbed his temples with a headache. He really didn't want to talk to Chen Chen now, so he just nodded casually and said, "I understand. Let's go."
After saying that, he got on the carriage.
Afterwards, Chen Chen drove the carriage towards the town.
Arriving at the entrance of the alley where they were yesterday, Chen Chen handed the carriage to Brother Shen to look after, then he carried the food box into the alley and knocked on the door of the third house in the alley.
The person who opened the door for him was a middle-aged woman. Seeing a handsome young man standing outside, she asked in confusion, "Who are you looking for?"
"Hello, auntie. I'm looking for He Jinshu. He's studying here." Chen Chen said politely to the woman.
The woman became even more confused after hearing this, and then she said, "Young man, did you find the wrong person? I don't have the book you mentioned, and I can't read."
After hearing this, Chen Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly asked: "Aunt, isn't this a private school? It's a place where people are taught to read."
The woman shook her head and said, "My dear boy, you have come to the wrong place. Our family cannot afford to open a private school. We don't even have anyone to study."
"Then do you know where there is a private school nearby?" Chen Zhen asked hurriedly. How could Ah Shu lie to him? Chen Zhen said unhappily.
The woman shook her head and said she didn't know. There was no educated person in her family, so she didn't understand these things.
Seeing this, Chen Chen thanked the woman and returned to the carriage with a look of loss on his face.
Seeing that he looked unhappy, Brother Shen asked curiously, "What's wrong? He doesn't want to see you?"
Chen Zhen shook his head silently, then said to Big Brother Shen: "No, Ah Shu lied to me. This is not where he studies at all."
When Brother Shen heard about this situation, he was silent for a while and thought to himself: Didn’t you say yesterday that he listens to you very much?
But seeing his brother's unhappy look, he couldn't bear to discourage him any further, so he said tentatively: "He has already lied to you so much, then we don't want him anymore, let's just go back. I will definitely find you someone more beautiful than him in the future."
After hearing this, Chen Zhen shook his head and said, "No, he is my partner, and I want to marry him."
This sentence seemed to give him great courage, and Chen Zhen instantly cheered up. He looked at Brother Shen with bright eyes and said, "Brother, come with me to find out where all the private schools in town are. I must find Ah Shu today and give him food."
When Brother Shen heard this, he felt helpless. There were several private schools in the town, and he probably knew some of them. After all, he had studied in the town for a few years, but he didn't want to take Chen Chen to look for them.
The scholar lied to him and it was obvious that he didn't want to have anything to do with Brother Zhen. So why did he bother to bring his own brother to find him?
So, elder brother Shen tried to persuade him again: "Brother Zhen, that scholar is so ungrateful, can we just not want him anymore? If you like the scholar, I'll find another one who likes you, okay?"
Chen Chen frowned and said angrily: "No, big brother, I want him. If you don't accompany me to find him, I will go to find him by myself. Leave the carriage to me and take the ox cart home by yourself."
When Brother Shen heard this, he thought to himself: Well, once he gets stubborn, no one can persuade him.
So he had no choice but to say: "Brother, can't I accompany you to look for it? Get in the car, I know a few private schools, I will take you to find them."
When Chen Zhen heard this, he smiled and said, "Thank you, big brother."
Brother Shen just smiled helplessly and shook his head, then drove forward.
There were three private schools in the town that Brother Shen knew about. Apart from the one he attended, there were only two left. So Brother Shen took Chen Chen to the one that was closer to them.
After asking, I found out they didn’t have it, so I went to another store, but they still didn’t have it.
Chen Chen asked Brother Shen anxiously, "Brother, where else in town is there a private school?"
It was almost noon, and if he missed the time, Ah Shu would not be able to eat the meal he cooked.
Seeing his anxious expression, Brother Shen quickly comforted him, "These are the only two I know of. Maybe there are new private schools opened in the town in recent years. I'll take you to find someone to ask about them."
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhen nodded and said, "Okay, then, big brother, let's go quickly. It's almost noon. If we don't send Ah Shu over soon, it will be time for dinner."
Upon hearing this, Brother Shen had no choice but to speed up the carriage, and then took Chen Zhen to the largest restaurant in town. After asking the owner about the situation, he took Chen Zhen to the alley where He Jinshu's private school was.
After arriving at the place, Brother Shen realized that this place was not far from where they had just been. This little scholar had made us look for him so hard. Brother Shen couldn't help but give Secretary He Jin a compliment in his heart.
After parking the carriage, Chen Chen hurriedly got out. However, after taking just two steps, he turned back and looked at Big Brother Shen and called out seriously, "Big Brother."
Brother Shen looked at him in confusion, then asked, "What's wrong?" "Didn't we bring him here? Why didn't you knock on the door?"
"Brother, go knock on the door." Chen Chen grabbed his arm and pulled him under the carriage while saying.
If Ashu doesn't want to see me, then I definitely can't appear in front of him directly. I have to let my brother call him out so that I can have a chance to see him.
