When I returned to the bedroom again, Chu Jinnian was still sleeping soundly with his eyes closed.

The little mouth is red and the eyelashes are particularly long. Although the skin is dark, if you look closely, you can see that it is just a beautiful little baby.

Shen Zhi's heart softened and she couldn't help but kiss his little face.

"Good baby, get up and eat."

She pinched the little guy's ears and pulled them gently, then called out twice. Chu Jinzhou hummed, pouted his little mouth, and then opened his eyes.

Facing Shen Zhi's face, he couldn't help but reach out and touch her face, "Mother~"

Shen Zhi picked him up from the bed, put on a small coat for him, and coaxed him: "Good boy, after dinner, mother will go to the county town. Yesterday, your uncle Zhang and his family said they would help us repair the roof. If they come, ask them to wait for me. I will come back and join them."

"Hmm... OK~"

After agreeing, the little guy asked again: "Mother, let me go collect firewood today. We used a lot of firewood yesterday."

Every time we stew meat or cook, we use a lot of firewood. All the firewood in the house is saved by this little guy.

So the little guy has to check several times a day to see how much firewood has been used.

Shen Zhi carried him out and said, "No need. When mother comes back, she will go with you to collect firewood."

Chu Jinnian did not agree. He was very good at collecting firewood. Even Brother Shitou and Brother Niu Niu were not as good as him!

He didn't want his mother to collect firewood. His father couldn't work, his brother only knew how to play every day, and his mother was a girl.

He is the only man in the family, he has to support the family!

If you want to support this family, collecting firewood is the first step.

Putting the little guy on the chair, Shen Zhi said: "Hurry up and eat."

Chu Jinzhou sat upright, his eyes glued to the white rice porridge and mixed cucumbers, unable to move away.

Rice porridge!

Rice porridge!

"Zhou Zhou, eat quickly."

Soon, a small bowl full of rice porridge was placed in front of him.

Chu Jinzhou swallowed his saliva, and when he saw that everyone lowered their heads to eat, he picked up the spoon and took a bite.

The soft, sweet and fragrant white rice porridge was so hot that it seemed as if both my mouth and stomach had turned sweet.

Just as delicious as baked sweet potatoes!

He ate it with special care, and his eyes brightened with every bite.

Chu Jinnian was slurping his porridge, his short legs swinging leisurely. After drinking half a bowl of rice porridge, he looked at Chu Jinzhou quietly.

Seeing that there was no angry expression on his face and he seemed quite happy, he hesitated for a moment, picked up a piece of cucumber and carefully placed it in Chu Jinzhou's bowl.

Just as he put it down, his hands shook nervously and he quickly retracted the chopsticks.

Chu Jinzhou raised his eyes and looked at him. His eyes seemed to be glowing, with bright stars in their depths.

Chu Jinnian was being stared at by him and was originally very scared. He picked up food for his brother without his brother's consent, thinking that his brother was going to scold and beat him again.

But he found that his brother didn't say anything, just looked at him, and didn't seem to be angry. The little guy opened his mouth and his eyes were wide open.

Brother... Brother seems a little happy?

After swallowing, he picked up another piece of cucumber and put it into Chu Jinzhou's bowl.

He kept his eyes on Chu Jinzhou all the time and didn't dare to move away, for fear that he would get too carried away and make his brother, who was not angry to begin with, angry.

But Chu Jinzhou was still not angry, and seemed to be in a better mood.

Chu Jinnian's heart was pounding.

In the blink of an eye, he saw Chu Jinzhou also picked up a piece of cucumber.

Chu Jinnian's originally happy expression instantly turned into one of loss and sadness.

My brother picked some for himself, so he must not like what he picked and must be secretly angry in his heart.

However, just as he was hanging his little head and drinking the porridge listlessly, a piece of tender and crisp cucumber suddenly appeared in the bowl.

"Eh?!" He looked up suddenly and saw Chu Jinzhou was about to take back the chopsticks.

The little guy was stunned, his mouth opened wide.

Chu Jinzhou smiled at him and started eating the cucumber he picked for her.

Chu Jinnian's eyebrows curved, and her little face instantly smiled like a flower, "Thank you, brother~~"

"You're welcome. Thank you too...thank you, brother."

Chu Jinzhou smiled shyly.

Shen Zhi and Chu Changfeng looked at each other and then looked at Chu Jinzhou at the same time.

Chu Jinzhou looked at them and suddenly thought of something, so he quickly picked up some cucumbers for them.

Yes! He almost made a mistake.

He has parents now, so we can't favor one over the other. If we pick up food for our younger brother, we have to pick up food for our parents as well.

Shen Zhi and Chu Changfeng were even more stunned.

Only Chu Jinnian was cheerful and happy. In this family, no one wanted his brother to get better more than him.

So much so that, while drinking the porridge, he kept looking at Chu Jinzhou and smiling like a little fool.

After breakfast, Shen Zhi went out with a backpack on his back.

She didn't go out yesterday. She had made an appointment with the lady to send her some nectarines, and she couldn't delay any longer today.

We took a ox cart on the way to the county town. It was still early and the sun had just come out.

Shen Zhi picked a basket of nectarines and a small basket of cherries.

After selling the nectarines, she planned to ask the old lady who bought her nectarines if she wanted cherries.

Cherries are good things, so she plans to sell them at a higher price.

"Hey, Master, just eat a little. You still have to study. If you don't have breakfast, you will be hungry."

"Aunt Qin, I don't want to eat noodles, and I don't want to eat buns either. Or you could give me another nectarine."

Qin Jiuan was sitting at the desk writing. He had no appetite for breakfast as everything was greasy.

Hearing this, Mrs. Qin frowned, looking distressed.

Not hearing any movement, Qin Jiuan asked in confusion: "What happened?"

Mrs. Qin sighed, "Master, you ate several of them yesterday, and the master and his wife also asked for a lot, and the young ladies and young masters of the second and third rooms also secretly took a few away. Now there is none left."

Qin Jiuan got anxious when he heard this, "All gone? How could all gone? Didn't we just buy a lot yesterday? How could my parents and my cousins ​​eat so much?"

"Besides, didn't you buy it yesterday? Did you forget?"

Mrs. Qin quickly explained, "It rained yesterday, so the girl selling peaches didn't come, so I didn't buy any."

Seeing Qin Jiuan frowning, Granny Qin said distressedly: "Master, don't worry. The sun is out today. The girl promised to deliver the goods to me. I think she will come today. I will wait at the door first."

Qin Jiuan's expression improved a little, "Okay, I must buy it."

However, when Mrs. Qin was about to reach the backyard gate, she discovered through the long corridor that a little maid from the second room was talking to Shen Zhi.

Mrs. Qin was so anxious that she blew her nose and glared. The young masters and young ladies of the second house had just taken a lot of peaches yesterday, and today they wanted to get ahead of her and snatch all the peaches? !

No way!

She started to trot quickly, shouting as she ran: "Xiao Cui'er! Cui'er! You can't snatch it from me! I ordered the peaches for Master Jiu'an!"
