The rain came a little late this year, so most of the rice in the village has been harvested and almost dried. Even if it rains now, there is no need to worry too much about the rice getting moldy.
Because of the rain, the construction of the house at home was temporarily stopped and there was no way to go out, so Chen Zhen stayed in the kitchen, fried all the fermented black beans that he had made earlier with chili peppers, and then put them into a jar.
In the study, Li Mo and He Jinshu sat opposite each other.
Li Mo has been busy with things every day recently, and it is rare for him to have some free time to chat with He Jinshu.
"You said you don't want to go to private school anymore? Why?" Li Mo asked a little puzzled.
Didn't we agree on this back then? One scholar, one warrior, to avenge our godfather and godmother? Why didn't Xiaoshu want to study anymore?
He Jinshu nodded slightly, and then said: "After school starts, I don't plan to go to private school. I plan to study at home. I will still take the exam when the time comes."
After saying that, he looked at Li Mo again and said in a firm voice: "Brother, don't worry, I haven't forgotten the revenge of my parents, and I will definitely avenge them.
But our current strength is still too weak, and I still need to add some more chips to our plan, so it would be best if I can pass the imperial examination next year, but if not, I will try again next time.
I also think it's a good idea for us to stay here and recuperate for the time being. After all, no matter how powerful others are, they can't reach out so far. This way, we have enough time to plan what we will do next."
After hearing these words, Li Mo asked, "What are your plans for the future?"
"For the time being, it's just to increase the yield of crops and then spread my reputation. Also, help Ah Zhen open a seasoning workshop. Once these things are made, not only will I be famous, but the entire Wujia Village, and even the entire Linshe County, will become famous. Moreover, this place will definitely become the seasoning production base of Dongliguo in the future." He Jinshu said in a light voice.
After hearing this, Li Mo felt his heart boiling. He had seen Brother Zhen's cooking skills and had tasted them himself. If he could really succeed as Xiaoshu said, then they would be considered rich and influential in Linshe County.
By then, with their wealth and influence, no one would dare to mess with them. While fame would undoubtedly bring them trouble, and even life-threatening situations, so what? Revenge for one's godfather and godmother carries the risk of death, so why not expose oneself to the light and see how much darkness one can attract?
So Li Mo said to He Jinshu: "Okay, then follow your plan. I can train the servants at home and use them to protect your safety when the time comes."
After hearing this, He Jinshu said, "I don't need that. Just let them protect grandpa and grandma. Ah Zhen will protect me."
Although He Jinshu didn't know how good Chen Zhen's kung fu was, Chen Zhen had told him several times that he was very good at fighting, so He Jinshu felt that Chen Zhen's kung fu must be good. After all, he had never lied to him.
Li Mo was surprised when he heard this, "Brother-in-law also knows martial arts?" He thought he was just strong and good at fighting.
"I don't know, but it should be possible, right?" He Jinshu said uncertainly.
Li Mo looked at He Jinshu, raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "Xiaoshu, tell me the truth, are you completely conquered by your brother-in-law?"
Otherwise, how could he say "Azhen will protect me" when he was uncertain?
Li Mo had always lived in the town before, which made it convenient for him to gather information, and he also had to make money to support himself.
He didn't see Grandma He and He Jinshu often, so he was very surprised when He Jinshu told him that he was going to get married.
It’s not that He Jinshu can’t get married, but based on He Jinshu’s personality, it’s impossible for him to get married with someone else when his own future is uncertain.
Moreover, their original plan at that time was to take the imperial examination next year. By then, their life or death would be uncertain, and it was even more impossible for He Jinshu to decide to get married this year.
So Li Mo was quite curious about how his brother-in-law got Xiaoshu to agree to marry him.
He had come to see the wedding, but he did not show up. From what he saw at the time, Xiaoshu's face did not look very happy when he was sitting on the horse. It was obvious that he was not willing to get this marriage.
Moreover, when he first came here, he felt that the two people were not as close as they are now, so Li Mo was quite curious about what made He Jinshu change his attitude.
After hearing what Li Mo said, He Jinshu moved a little uncomfortably, then lowered his eyes and said lightly: "Azhen is fine."
"How is it good? How did you two meet? How did he get you to agree to marry him?" Li Mo looked at He Jinshu and asked curiously.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, He Jinshu directly ordered him to leave: "You should leave. I want to study."
"No, don't you feel tired of reading every day? Let's chat." Li Mo looked at him and said.
He Jinshu glanced at Li Mo calmly, then said, "If you don't leave, I'll tell Ah Zhen."
"Okay, okay, okay, isn't it okay if I don't ask anymore? You're already an adult, and you still look for your husband when you have problems." Li Mo said with disdain, and then he stood up and walked out of the study.
Li Mo was really worried that He Jinshu would complain to Chen Chen. Chen Chen was very protective, especially of He Jinshu. Last time, he snatched a piece of food from He Jinshu, and Chen Chen "held a grudge" against him. He said that if he snatched food from He Jinshu again, he would not cook for him anymore.
How could Li Mo endure this when he heard it, but he still endured it. After all, Chen Zhen’s cooking was so delicious that he couldn’t help but endure it.
What Li Mo didn't see was the smug smile on He Jinshu's face after he left.
The rain lasted for three full days before the sky cleared up.
After the weather cleared up, Foreman Liu continued to work as usual. He Jinshu continued to have people dig earthworms, and Chen Chen prepared to have people go to the village to collect duck eggs. The preserved eggs he made before were eaten up, so he planned to make another batch.
Chen Zhen called Wen Li and asked him to collect duck eggs in Wujia Village first. He himself prepared to go to Shen's house with fermented black bean chili sauce. One was to get food, and the other was to ask Shen's mother to help him collect duck eggs in Shenjia Village.
"Ashu, do you want to go back to the Shen family with me?" Chen Chen asked He Jinshu who was reading in the study.
"Okay." Ke Jinshu put down the book and stood up and said, his parents should have harvested the food, and it was time for them to go get the food.
Then the two of them drove to Shen's house in a carriage.
When I arrived at Shen's house, I found that there were guests at home. It was Shen's mother's close friend, who came with her husband and youngest son.
This youngest son had liked Chen Chen before, and Chen's mother had even tried to bring them together.
