We had originally planned to go up the mountain after training the next day, but unexpectedly it started raining that night and didn't stop until the next day.
Early in the morning, after Chen Zhen woke up, he first put He Jinshu in his arms on the bed, then got up, dressed and prepared to go outside.
Because it rained last night, the temperature dropped a lot, so the two of them slept in each other's arms again.
After Chen Zhen put on his clothes, he opened the door and looked outside. The rain was dripping down from the eaves, and the yard was also damp. However, the temperature had dropped a lot. It was not as hot as in the past few days. The air now felt much more comfortable.
Chen Zhen looked back at He Jinshu and found no sign that he had woken up, so he closed the door and walked towards the kitchen.
All the rooms in the He family are built with eaves and corridors, so even on rainy days, the rooms are accessible and there is no need to worry about getting wet.
In the kitchen, Aunt Wen was making breakfast, which consisted of egg pancakes with white porridge and two side dishes.
After Chen Zhen washed up, he said to Aunt Wen, "Aunt Wen, go to the back and cook your meal. I'll take care of the rest."
The rest of the breakfast was ready, and the pancake batter was also mixed. It just needed to be spread in the pan. This could be done quickly, so Chen Chen asked Aunt Wen to go to the back to make their own meal.
Aunt Wen also knew Chen Zhen's temper, so she didn't bother to be polite with him. She just smiled and said, "Okay, congratulations, husband." Then she put on her straw raincoat and went to the backyard.
While Shen Zhen was making pancakes, He Jinshu also got up. Without Shen Zhen as a source of heat, he felt a little bit of chill, so he didn't plan to sleep and got up directly.
Because he had soaked in warm water last night and Chen Zhen had given him a massage, he didn't feel much soreness in his body today. After putting on his clothes, He Jinshu went straight to the kitchen.
When Chen Zhen saw him come in, he said in surprise: "Ashu, why did you wake up so quickly?"
He Jinshu didn't know if he was still asleep or what, he just responded blankly: "You are not by my side..."
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly realized what he had said, so he quickly stopped talking. At the same time, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face. So he immediately turned around, pretended not to care, and turned to get the basin, ready to fetch water to wash his face.
But what he said was still heard by Chen Zhen. Chen Zhen didn't even care about the pancakes in the pan. He ran to He Jinshu with a spatula in his hand. He looked at He Jinshu with bright eyes and asked, "Ah Shu, were you trying to say that you couldn't sleep without me by your side?"
He Jinshu didn't answer Chen Zhen's words, but pretended to be calm and scooped water into the basin with a ladle.
However, Chen Chen happily said beside him, "This is the first time I've heard you say sweet words. Ah Shu, you can say more in the future. I love to hear them."
He Jinshu finished fetching water, looked up and saw Chen Zhen's happy smile, raised his hand and pinched his cheek, then said to him with a faint smile: "Go check the pot quickly, I can smell burnt food."
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhen smelled it himself and found that it indeed had a burnt smell, so he didn't bother to talk to He Jinshu and turned to go to the stove.
Fortunately, the rescue was timely. Although the pancake was a little over-fried, it was still edible.
After breakfast was ready, Grandma He and Grandpa He also got up. After the two old people washed up, He Jinshu supported Grandpa He and let him walk slowly to the dining table. After helping him sit on the chair, the family began to eat breakfast.
The rain continued for several days until it stopped the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
It was raining these days and he couldn't go out for exercise, so He Jinshu followed Chen Zhen's instructions, spread a straw mat on the floor, and did some indoor exercises.
Four of the servants in the house stayed in the mountains and were trained by Li Mo. Wen Feng and Wen Ye also trained indoors like He Jinshu.
As for Uncle Wen, he felt that he was too old, so he didn't train with them, and Chen Zhen didn't force him.
After the weather cleared up, Second Brother Shen came to the He family to announce the good news. The baby was named Chen Yu, nicknamed Yu Ge'er.
Because it had been raining for the past few days, I didn't come to notify you specifically and only came after the rain stopped.
"This is a red egg." Brother Shen put the basket in his hand on the table and said with a smile. After waiting for so long, it finally came. Brother Shen was of course happy.
The custom in Dongli Country is that when a baby is born, red eggs will be sent to every household in the village. A family will receive as many eggs as the number of children born. Of course, closer relatives and wealthier families will receive more eggs.
This time when Second Brother Shen came to the He family, he directly brought a basket of red eggs, which he estimated to be about 20 to 30 in total.
When Chen Zhen heard about Tang Qiao, he immediately expressed his desire to go home and visit him.
Seeing that he was eager to show up at the Shen family right now, He Jinshu quickly stopped him and said, "Didn't you buy gifts for my second brother's family before? Let's get the gifts and go over there first."
When Chen Zhen heard this, he nodded quickly and said, "Yes, I bought a gift before. Second brother, please wait for me, I will be back soon." After that, he ran to the next room.
When Chen Zhen lived in the town before, he went to a jewelry shop and had someone make him a pair of gold bracelets with very beautiful patterns. The design was thought up by Chen Zhen, and he asked He Jinshu to draw the pattern. Now this gift can be given away.
Seeing Chen Chen's impulsive look, Second Brother Shen said to He Jinshu in a doting manner, seemingly blaming him, "Brother Chen's personality hasn't become much more stable even after getting married."
"He's doing well this way." He Jinshu said with a faint smile.
Grandma He on the side also smiled and said, "Yes, Brother Zhen's lively personality is really good, much better than our Jinshu's dull personality. This child is so lovable."
When Second Brother Shen heard this, he also laughed. It seemed that Brother Zhen was living quite well here, so their family could finally feel relieved.
After Chen Zhen took out the gift, several people greeted Grandpa He and Grandma He, and then walked outside.
Because it had rained for several days in a row, the road was muddy and it was worse to walk than to drive a carriage, so Chen Chen and his friends walked to Shenjia Village.
After arriving at the Shen family, Chen Zhen greeted Old Man Shen and Mother Shen and went directly to the east wing with the gifts.
Seeing his anxious temper, Shen's mother laughed and scolded: "Why are you so anxious? If someone didn't know, they would think you were fine."
Shen Zhen ignored what Shen's mother said and pushed the door open when he reached the east wing.
