But at this moment, Chen Kai and his three remaining underlings all wanted to let Mu Ge show off, so how could they agree?
Before Qin Mu could even answer, Shen Kai said:
"We're not tired yet. Let's go check on A-Ye and the others first, and see if they need any help."
Aunt, um, sister-in-law, do you know where A-Ye and the others are?
Qin Mu, who was already interested, felt an urge to show off when he thought of Chi Yu cooking in the kitchen.
So when faced with Shen Kai's presumptuous decision, he didn't refuse and also looked at Chi Qiao.
However, before Chi Qiao could even speak, the laborers of the Chi family came in carrying timber that could be used as poles.
At the same time, Chi Dahu, holding two soaking wet pheasants, shouted to Chi Qiao:
"Wife, take these two pheasants and cook them!"
Chi Qiao, who was carrying something and had already been delayed for a while, went straight into the main room upon hearing this.
Seeing that the oilcloth was almost finished sewing, she felt relieved and handed the tung oil bowl and brush to Chen Xiaomai.
"Third sister-in-law, this is tung oil, it's waterproof. First, brush it on the sewn-up areas."
After it dries completely, apply a second coat.
This stuff dries quickly, keep an eye on it, I need to help out in the kitchen.
Since there are pheasants, she doesn't need to go out; she can just help Xiaoyu cook.
That way, the girl won't be all alone and will be scrambling around when she's cooking.
In Lao Chi's kitchen, there was a stove with two burners.
The first burner is on the outside and is used for stir-frying and steaming rice.
The second one is inside, where the fire is smaller, so it's mainly used for boiling water.
After Chi Qiao went back into the kitchen, she immediately scooped out hot water from the second burner and started making chicken soup.
With her help, Chi Yu felt much more at ease.
Otherwise, she was afraid she would be overwhelmed if she had to cook and watch the fire at the same time.
While Chi Yu was relaxed, Qin Mu was already thinking about how to ensure his smooth stay.
Besides collecting charcoal, we also need to collect a batch of furs.
If Shen Kai hadn't come along this time, he would have had to go back by himself.
But with Chen Kai around, once these things are stored away, he can take them back with him.
Only by staying could he have more contact with the fish in the pond.
Only in this way can you deepen the other person's impression of you, and only then will you have the opportunity to propose to her in the future.
But what excuse could he possibly come up with?
The shopkeeper doesn't know the prices of the items sold at the general store; do I need to ask him/her?
No, after we finish eating, Chi Yu will have to ask him to calculate the price of these things.
The other party will find out then.
Well, even if I make excuses that I'm tired today, I can only postpone it for one more night at most.
We'll still have to talk about it tomorrow during the day.
Or you could say the area down the mountain is flooded and you want to stay here for a few days until the rain stops.
But how could that be? How long has it been raining? And Chen Kai and the others need to go back.
If it were flooded, then Shen Kai and the others would definitely not be able to return.
Otherwise, it's just sending the other side to their death.
This will definitely diminish the impression that Chi Yu has of him.
He became a cold-blooded and ruthless person...
Before Qin Mu could figure out what to do, Chi Qing, who was wearing a straw raincoat and hat and holding a shovel, started digging a hole to bury the pole and spoke up.
"Brother Qin, since you can read, could you spare some time to help us memorize the Three Character Classic, the Hundred Family Surnames, and the Thousand Character Classic?"
Upon hearing Chi Qing's question, Qin Mu, multitasking, replied, "Sure!"
Chi Qing breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and then smiled and said, "That's great, your aunt will definitely come to find you later."
Upon hearing the words "little aunt," Qin Mu instantly snapped back to reality, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.
"Oh? Your aunt wanted it?"
