On the square table under the jujube tree, He Siyi was practicing calligraphy seriously with a brush.
While sitting on a tree and eating dates, Chen Zhen said to He Siyi, "Son, you've been practicing for so long, can we take a break? Daddy will pick some dates for you to eat."
He Siyi remained unmoved and said like a little adult, "Dad, please stop arguing."
Okay, Chen Zhen thought to himself, it’s a good thing that his son is ambitious, and he should be happy as a father.
So he lay down on a tree trunk, eating dates and pretending to think about life.
The autumn in the capital is much cooler than that in Linshe County, and it will snow soon. This year, their family has to prepare warm clothes and charcoal fire early.
He Sixuan, who was standing by, also followed his father's example, found a tree trunk, crossed his legs and lay on it, occasionally reaching out to pick a date to eat.
This was the scene He Jinshu saw when he arrived at the backyard.
He Siyi was the first to see He Jinshu come in. He put down his pen politely, smiled, and called out, "Father."
He Jinshu hummed softly, then walked up to him, touched his head, and said to him, "You are still young, just practice for half an hour every day."
"I know, Father." He Siyi said with a smile.
When Chen Chen heard the noise, he brought He Sixuan down from the tree and said happily, "Ashu, you're back?"
He Sixuan rushed over and hugged He Jinshu's waist, then raised his hand and said to him: "Father, here are some green dates for you to eat. They are very sweet."
He Jinshu patted his head and said, "Wash this thing thoroughly before eating it next time, or you might get diarrhea."
"It's okay, I'm fine." He Sixuan said indifferently, and his expression was exactly the same as when Chen Zhen said this.
He Jinshu couldn't refuse Chen Chen before, and now he couldn't refuse his brother either, so he just let him do what he wanted. After all, he was used to living in the mountains, and he had never seen anything happen to him. But he refused to eat because he saw that his brother's hands were a little dirty.
So he changed the subject and said to Chen Chen, "It's almost noon, let's go to the main courtyard to have dinner with grandpa and grandma."
"Okay, let's go." Chen Chen said.
The family then walked towards the main courtyard.
