"Haha, how can you praise yourself?"
Xie Shuijun finished speaking while standing under the cherry tree. When he looked up, he caught a glimpse of clusters of large cherries among the green leaves. They were pink and white, like glass beads.
He was excited again, "Sister Tan, look, the cherries are red!"
There was a cherry tree next to the brigade headquarters. He had seen it today and the fruits looked like green soybeans.
Compared with my sister's house, it's far worse.
My sister really has a pair of lucky hands.
"Wow, really? I didn't even notice it. Come pick it and try it."
The cherry trees here have been blessed with spiritual spring water. Not only are they almost ripe, but their sizes are almost as big as large cherries.
If Heizi hadn't kept a close watch on it, it would have been harmed by the children in the village and the birds in the forest.
She and Xie Shuijun each picked a handful of redder cherries and ate them as they went home.
She then took Xie Shuijun to the backyard to see the vegetables and strawberries she planted.
In order to prevent the strawberries from getting dirty, she put pumpkin leaves under the strawberry vines.
Those bright red strawberries, crowded together among the green leaves, are very tempting.
Xie Shuijun happily walked around the vegetable garden and picked a lot of strawberries to take back.
Chen Tan followed him to the brigade headquarters, gave two green pumpkins to Liu Xu, and took Liang Yujin to Xie Junqian.
Then he ran to the sales outlet and ground thirty kilograms of wheat flour.
After returning, she pulled Xie Junqian and begged, "Grandpa Xie, let Sister Yu Jin cook for you from now on."
"Sure," Xie Junqian said happily, "The food is in the kitchen. You can make whatever you want."
Ever since the little girl started eating at his place, she either brought rice or noodles and vegetables, allowing him to take advantage of her greatly.
The Wei family took such good care of them, grandfather and grandson, how could he refuse Liang Yujin to have a meal here?
Liang Yujin was embarrassed at first, but when she heard Chen Tan asked her to cook, she felt very grateful.
"Thank you, Grandpa. My cooking is not delicious, please don't be disgusted."
"That's fine, as long as it's cooked."
Xie Junqian said this with a smile and continued to copy the medical book from memory.
His grandson and apprentice are going to school and both want to apply to medical school, so he has to prepare some solid skills for them.
Seeing that he agreed, Chen Tan asked Liang Yujin to cook while she went to the county.
When we arrived at the store, it was exactly half past eleven.
Today, Zhou Qinglan was not at home. Aunt Xu cooked a large table of dishes, but she was not in the house.
In the huge restaurant, only Shang Yuantang was sitting at the table.
Chen Tan greeted him and went to the kitchen to boil medicine. Just as she was feeling uneasy, Shang Yuantang came over and glared at her coldly, "Come and eat."
Chen Tan felt uneasy, not knowing how much Qin Dashun and Qin Wuqiang had said.
How will Shang Yuantang deal with Qin Li?
She followed him to the dining table obediently, pretending to be embarrassed and looking at the person opposite her. "You're welcome, Mr. Shang. I've already eaten at home."
Shang Yuantang stared at her seriously, raised his chin towards the chair opposite him, and said, "Sit down."
Chen Tan looked at the dishes that had been set out and could only sit down with gritted teeth.
In the middle of the table there was a stewed chicken soup, a portion of braised vegetables, a braised carp, and a stir-fried eggplant. It was quite a sumptuous meal.
"You know Qin Li, right?"
After Shang Yuantang learned from Lu Zhongqing that Qin Li was Lu Chengyi, he directly locked up the seven people he caught in the mountains on charges of banditry.
He has already arranged for his subordinates to investigate the ugly woman in red.
But he always felt something was wrong, so he went to the valley again today.
Unexpectedly, the valley was destroyed by wild beasts in the mountains. They also found a half-dead bear, seven wild boars, three wolves, more than ten musk deer, and more than fifty rabbits in the valley.
Some were killed by being stuffed to death, and some were killed by being crushed by rocks.
None of them died of human error, which is very strange.
Chen Tan was not far away from the valley at that time. Could it be related to her?
Or, like Qin Li, was she also sent to the countryside by the people in Chashan to be raised in advance?
Facing his scrutinizing gaze, Chen Tan knew he couldn't hide it anymore, so he nodded slightly, "He's my elder brother, Mr. Shang, do you know him?"
"Big brother?" Shang Yuantang's face froze. As far as he knew, Lu Chengyi only had one older sister. When did he have a younger sister?
Could it be that the Lu family had already noticed it, concealed their youngest daughter's information, and sent her to the countryside to hide her?
Shang Yuantang felt that he had guessed correctly. He looked Chen Tan up and down, and a gleam flashed in his cold eyes.
"How old are you?"
"eighteen."
Eighteen? No wonder, ten years ago, she was only seven or eight years old. It's not impossible for the Lu family to hide it from outsiders.
She was so young, and she must have suffered a lot when she came to the countryside with her elder brother.
"I heard that you want to be enrolled in high school in order to apply for college. Where do you want to go to college?"
Shang Yuantang stood up, took Chen Tan's bowl, and served her a bowl of chicken soup.
The nervous Chen Tan was confused and bewildered. Why didn't they continue the interrogation?
"I want to go to the south. My eldest brother said it's more prosperous and affluent than here, and you can see trams and the endless sea."
She was still wearing the white shirt and warm yellow sweater jacket she wore this morning. With her eyes full of longing, she looked like a brilliant forsythia in the chilly spring weather, dignified, beautiful, full of life and energy.
Shang Yuantang's heart was like a blooming flower, and he inexplicably felt a different emotion.
He looked at her, his tone soft and gentle, "In three days, bring your household registration book with you and I'll take you to the county high school. From now on, you'll study in the city. My injury hasn't healed yet, so you can stay with me."
He will live here for half a year, and after half a year, he will take her to the south. As for college, she can go to whichever one she likes.
