He Jinshu comforted her upon hearing this: "It's okay, time flies."
Chen Zhen nodded after hearing this. In this situation, all he could do was wait.
After talking about this, Chen Chen and He Jinshu went to the library to study for a while before going to bed.
The rain continued to fall for four days before it stopped, and by then it was time for Wang Zhengkun to get married.
Chen Chen and He Jinshu went to Wangji Village with Chen's mother and others to attend his wedding ceremony.
After the meal, on the way back, Chen Chen said to He Jinshu while sitting in the carriage: "Ah Shu, let's go back and find some information. First, let the village chief repair the road in the village."
It is so uncomfortable to walk on this bumpy road, especially on rainy days, the road is even more difficult to walk on.
He Jinshu nodded and agreed when he heard this. Not only did the roads in the village need to be repaired, but the fields in the village also needed to be replanned. After returning, he would look up the methods of road construction and write a planting plan for the village.
The next day after returning home, Brother Shen came to the He family. One reason was to deliver the duck eggs he had collected in the village, and the other was to take some preserved eggs back with him. Everyone in the village wanted to buy these preserved eggs to eat.
In the past two months, a lot of duck eggs have been collected in Shenjia Village, but it takes time to pickle the preserved eggs. In addition, there are orders from Mo Yuexuan in the town, so the villagers have not been able to buy preserved eggs to eat.
However, a new batch of preserved eggs had already been made, and the quantity was quite large, so Brother Shen made a trip to help, one to deliver duck eggs, and the other to take some preserved eggs back to sell to the villagers.
Chen Zhen had his servants load the preserved eggs onto Big Brother Shen's cart. He also brought him some sesame oil and pickled vegetables. Then he said, "Big Brother, are the lemons we planted almost ripe? Pick some for me when the time comes, and I'll have the servants go get them."
From September to November every year, lemons will gradually mature. Some late-ripening lemons may not mature until December. The Shen family has a small hilltop that is specially used to grow some fruits that Shen Zhen brought back from the mountain, including lemons.
It is almost September now, and Chen Zhen wants to eat fresh lemon chicken, so he asks Brother Shen to save some for him.
"Okay, in another 5 or 6 days, some should be ripe. I'll pick them then, and you can ask the servants to come home to get them." Brother Shen said to Chen Chen.
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhen nodded and agreed.
In the few days after seeing off Brother Shen, Chen Chen and He Jinshu went up the mountain to exercise during the day and came back to read books and look up information at night.
This time, He Jinshu searched and transcribed all the information himself, and Chen Chen was responsible for assisting him.
Although Chen Zhen's help would make the search faster, He Jinshu felt that he had been learning pinyin and recognizing characters for some time and could not always rely on Chen Zhen. He could also improve his literacy by looking up and searching by himself.
Although it was a little slow, after a few days of hard work, I finally wrote down everything I wanted on paper.
Chen Chen watched He Jinshu put down the brush, then asked, "Ah Shu, are you done?"
"Yes." He Jinshu said to Chen Chen as he put the paper he had just written aside to dry.
"Ashu is really amazing." Chen Chen praised.
He Jinshu smiled faintly when he heard this, and then said to Chen Chen: "Let's go, we should go out to sleep."
"good."
After that, the two of them left the library and lay down on the bed.
He Jinshu held him in his arms, then touched Chen Zhen's abdomen and asked him, "Have you had any stomach discomfort these days?"
"It's okay." Chen Chen said nonchalantly, then added melancholy, "It's just that taking medicine so often is too bitter."
He Jinshu kissed him when he heard that, and then said, "It's okay, just eat some more candied fruit after drinking it."
After hearing this, Chen Zhen could only nod helplessly. Then he turned over and hugged He Jinshu's waist, but accidentally touched He Jinshu's abdominal muscles.
He Jinshu already had the basic outline of abdominal muscles on his abdomen. He looked down again, and then said to He Jinshu with an unbalanced heart: "Ah Shu, why do you have eight abdominal muscles, but I only have six?"
"What's the difference?" He Jinshu asked in confusion. Aren't they all abdominal muscles?
He only learned the term abdominal muscles from Chen Chen, and he still didn't know what the function of these abdominal muscles was. However, with these abdominal muscles, he felt that his body looked better.
"Of course," Chen Chen said, "It's a symbol of manliness."
When He Jinshu heard this, he didn't want to discuss this topic with Chen Zhen anymore. As an ancient man, it was sometimes really difficult for him to understand Chen Zhen's weird thoughts. He was still a man without abdominal muscles, and there was no need for abdominal muscles to symbolize him.
So he said to Chen Zhen, "Go to bed quickly. You are still sick and can't sleep too late."
After hearing this, Chen Zhen did not refute. He found a comfortable position in He Jinshu's arms and closed his eyes to sleep.
Chen Zhen fell asleep very quickly, almost in seconds. He Jinshu lowered his head and kissed his sleeping face, then hugged him and fell asleep together.
The next day, He Jinshu and Shen Zhen did not go to the mountain for training, but let Li Mo take the others to train. After breakfast, the two of them went to the village chief's house.
The village chief looked at the plan in his hand and said to He Jinshu a little excitedly: "He Xiucai, is this what you came up with?"
"This is a method that Ah Zhen and I found from some books, and then we wrote some plans based on the terrain here. If the village chief trusts us, we can plan our village as a whole according to the method above. I think within two years, our village will definitely become different from other villages." He Jinshu said.
"I believe you, I definitely trust you." Village Chief Wu said immediately after hearing He Jinshu's words. How could anyone not trust such a clear plan and such a practical method?
He himself has no special abilities, but he is willing to follow people who have abilities. In this way, even if he is no longer the village chief in the future, the village has developed under his leadership, which is something worth showing off. Even if he dies in this life, he will have no regrets.
He Jinshu nodded slightly upon hearing this, and then said: "I will give another copy of this plan to the head of Shenjia Village. When the time comes, in addition to the section of road in our own village that we need to build ourselves, the road leading to the town will need to be built jointly with Shenjia Village.
I hope you can manage the villagers well and prevent them from quarreling with the people of Shenjia Village. Also, please keep this plan for the time being and don't let others see it easily. After our village and Shenjia Village are both built, we can discuss other matters."
"Okay, I understand." Village Chief Wu agreed readily.
Seeing that the matter was over, He Jinshu did not linger for long, and then left Village Chief Wu's house with Chen Chen.
