After saying that, he put one arm around his brother's shoulders and held his mother's hand with the other.

"Mother, brother, don't worry. When I grow up, I will serve you like a cow or a horse. I will serve you for the rest of my life. I will never ignore you."

The little guy's attitude was so serious, "I will keep my word every year!"

Chu Jinzhou narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Brother, I will take care of you, you don't have to serve me."

Shen Zhi pinched his little face, "Well... Mom still needs my baby to serve her. When I can't walk anymore, my baby can carry Mom on his back every year."

"I'll carry you on my back!" the little guy said excitedly, "Mom, don't worry, I'm a filial son! Don't be afraid."

Shen Zhi felt soft in her heart, "Oh, my dear baby, so good."

"Hmph... I... I've always been a very good person."

In order to prove how well behaved he was, he quickly picked up some food for Chu Jinzhou and Shen Zhi, "Mother, brother, please eat some meat!"

"Thank you Nian Nian."

"Thank you, brother."

Chu Changfeng stared at Chu Jinnian, and the little guy squinted his eyes, "Look! Look at what Niannian is doing? Niannian is still angry now, don't even think about asking me to serve you!"

He was so fierce that even Chu Changfeng didn't dare to provoke him and ignored him.

"Humph!"

Seeing that he was not looking at him, the little guy pouted his little mouth and hummed. After hesitating for a long time, he sighed.

He picked up a piece of meat and threw it into Chu Changfeng's bowl, as if he was showing mercy. "Humph! I'll only give you this piece, don't even think about getting more! That's impossible!"

Chu Changfeng: "Thank you. You are so angry with me, but you still care about me."

Chu Jinnian turned his dark face away and muttered, "Some people are just shameless. Who cares about him? Anyway, he is not Nian Nian!"

Shen Zhi and Chu Jinzhou couldn't stop laughing.

Not long after dinner, the Zhang and Li families came over.

Three little guys followed behind him.

Shitou was leading Sanya, and Niu Niu and the four adults were carrying loads of firewood on their backs.

"Shen Zhi! We've brought some firewood here. If it's not enough, we can go get more!"

Shen Zhi smiled and said, "That's enough!"

When they saw Chu Changfeng was there too, they were stunned for a moment.

"Changfeng, are you okay? Catching a cold is no small matter, you need to take good care of yourself."

Yesterday when they were here and asked about Chu Changfeng, Shen Zhi used this reason.

Chu Changfeng glanced at Shen Zhi and nodded at them.

"Now that everyone is here, let's speed up and smoke the bacon."

"okay!"

It wasn't until Shen Zhi took out a large jar of salt that everyone's cheerful mood disappeared in an instant.

"What...what do you use salt for?"

"Smoked bacon needs to be cured with salt and then smoked on a rack."

"How much salt should we use?" Aunt Zhang asked in a trembling voice.

Shen Zhi: "Just watch me do it."

They were all stunned when they saw her rubbing large amounts of salt on the meat.

"No! Shen Zhi! So much salt! How much silver will it cost?! This... this..."

A bitter look appeared on their faces. Salt was very expensive. If they had to use so much salt, they would definitely not want to make bacon.

Shen Zhi also forgot about this.

"Uh... it's okay. I put a lot of salt on it, but I'll have to spread it out later. It won't take much. Don't worry about it. I have a lot of salt at home. Besides, your meat doesn't need much salt."

Everyone looked at each other in disbelief.

Shen Zhi: "It's okay. You may not know how much salt to use. Go light a fire and add some big wood. You need to smoke it instead of roasting it directly."

"Let's help you."

"No, just go ahead."

No one knew how much salt to add, so some started a fire and some started collecting firewood.

There was no one in the main room, so Shen Zhi quickly moved.

The meat must be added with enough salt so that it will not go bad after being made into bacon. If we ask them to help with the pickling, I guess they would be reluctant to add any salt.

If it breaks down before the end of the year, it would be a real loss.

Fortunately, after marinating, the salt seeps into the meat little by little, and you can't tell how much was applied.

With so many people helping today, the bacon was smoked smoothly and quickly.

The little ones happily helped watch the fire. Shen Zhi skewered meat for them and asked them to grill it just like last time.

Everyone's happy faces were beaming with joy.

When it was completely dark, the two families helped put Shen Zhi's bacon into the main room. After asking Shen Zhi how and where to hang it, they took their respective 50 kilograms of meat home.

After Shen Zhi finished her work, she took the two kids to a bath and came to the main room. Suddenly, she saw two strings of copper coins on the table.

One string probably costs thirty cents.

"Mom, money!" Chu Jinnian pointed excitedly.

Chu Jinzhou: "Did your uncle and aunt give it to you?"

Shen Zhi held the copper coin, stared at it for a long time, and suddenly smiled.

The couple didn't even tell her and just dropped the money. They must have been afraid that she wouldn't take it. But this money was almost as much as they had used to buy their bacon.

Shen Zhi patted the two little ones on the shoulders and said, "Go to bed quickly."

Chu Jinzhou stretched out his little hand, and Chu Jinnian immediately put his little black hand into his little white hand, and then entered the small room.

Shen Zhi also returned to the bedroom.

The room was dark, but Shen Zhi had good eyesight and saw Chu Changfeng lying on the bed at a glance.

She pursed her lips, climbed onto the bed, and snuggled into Chu Changfeng's arms.

Chu Changfeng's whole body stiffened, "You...you...what are you doing?"

Shen Zhi slapped his hand fiercely, "What are you doing? Can you be more self-aware? If I let you lie on this bed, you will be mine!"

"I can hug you whenever I want, and kiss you whenever I want!"

Chu Changfeng's eyelashes trembled. No matter how many times he heard this, he still felt it was ridiculous! How could a good woman say this?

"You...you have no shame..."

"What~~"

Shen Zhi kissed him directly on the face.

Chu Changfeng was petrified instantly. He opened his eyes and looked at her in surprise, like a decent woman who was being molested.

"See, I told you, I can kiss you if I want to. I'm not ashamed. This is a secret between us, and I won't tell anyone else."

“You…you…you you you…”

"What do you mean?" Shen Zhi frowned, "If you continue like this, I will kiss you again!"

Chu Changfeng's face turned red and his neck became thick, "No!"

He didn't know how, but he uttered these two words inexplicably.

How could such a nice little girl be so bold?

Shen Zhi squeezed into his arms and hugged his waist tightly, "You don't have any say in this family now, so shut up."

Chu Changfeng lowered his eyes, "You...you just have no shame..."

Shen Zhi suddenly looked up.

Chu Changfeng was a little confused.

She stared at his pale lips again and again, and he was so nervous that he didn't dare to breathe.

Suddenly, a soft kiss fell on his lips.

After the kiss, Shen Zhi was stunned.

Chu Changfeng's mind was buzzing. Here it comes again! She also... It was clear that he and Shen Zhi had never done such things before he joined the army!

This woman...
