"Brother Chen Gen, why do you want to slander your own cousin like this?"

Just now everyone thought that Chen Gen was lying, and now that his cousin Cheng Jun said so, the expressions they looked at Chen Gen were even more wrong.

Chen Gen's face changed, and he said anxiously: "I didn't! I'm telling the truth! Cheng Jun, you're just my cousin, and you haven't seen him for several years. How can you know Chen Lin as well as I do? You're talking nonsense!"

Song Zhibai was watching from the side. He was a very noble man. If he was misunderstood by her, how could she still be friends with him?

Gao Sheng sneered, "I wonder what kind of person would insist on proving that his cousin is a fool!"

You still have the nerve to call him your cousin? Who treats their cousin like this?

Cheng Jun continued, "Of course he is someone who can't stand seeing others do better than he already is, and of course he doesn't consider his cousin as a family member!"

Cheng Jun hadn't been home for a long time, so he didn't know about Cheng Yue's separation. If he knew, he wouldn't have said this.

What family? Bah! He just doesn't care.

Although he had fewer opportunities to meet his aunt since she got married, he didn't know much about how she was doing.

But he understood Chen Gen and was also very disgusted. The fact that such a child was raised in the family showed that his aunt's family was not good people!

Chen Gen glared at Gao Sheng and Cheng Jun fiercely. They were deliberately slandering him in front of Song Zhibai so that he would be misunderstood.

The two of them must have known that if he became friends with Song Zhibai, they would have nothing to do with him. After all, they were more worthy of friendship than them.

Thinking of this, Chen Gen felt a little warm in his heart and raised his head involuntarily.

Gaosheng felt a chill. How shameless this guy must be. He didn't feel ashamed when being scolded, but instead became arrogant.

Chen Gen looked at him with a very strange look, and Song Zhibai frowned slightly, "The academy is a place to study, not a place to discuss the right and wrong of others, so let's not talk about this anymore.

I am going to hold a poetry reading at Chengze Lake tomorrow and would like to invite all my classmates to come and exchange ideas. Of course, if someone is in a hurry to go home, it is not necessary to come. "

As soon as Song Zhibai finished speaking, responses came one after another around him, and the previous discussion was immediately thrown out of the window.

"Come! I'll do it!"

"Definitely coming!"

What a joke! Who would refuse a poetry reading hosted by Song Zhibai?

Isn't it just a day late to return home? How can it be more important than the poetry meeting? If I win the favor of Song Zhibai, even if I can't pass the exam, I still have a future, right?

Chen Gen's heart was even more excited, he must perform well tomorrow!

Song Zhibai didn't want to invite Chen Gen at first. He really didn't like this man, but everyone was there, and he didn't want to leave Chen Gen alone, otherwise it would seem like he was the one taking the lead in isolating him.

He disdains to do such things, so let's go together. At worst, you can just ignore him.

After saying this, Song Zhibai called Cheng Jun and Gao Sheng to go to a quiet place with few people.

The others also sat down and thought silently. Tomorrow's poetry reading was very important and they wondered how they could make a splash.

Only Chen Gen looked in the direction of Song Zhibai, his eyes vague, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Gao Sheng glanced at him coldly, then turned around and suggested, "Tomorrow is a poetry gathering, so we need to prepare some food. Why don't we go to Chengji to buy some braised food? Wouldn't it be wonderful to enjoy the scenery, write poetry, and taste delicious food?"

The more Chen Gen said this, the more he felt something was wrong. If Chengji Braised Food was not open only for lunch and was crowded, he would have gone there long ago.

I asked my mother to buy it because I was afraid of wasting time in the queue. I can only taste it when I get home in the evening.

I happen to have time tomorrow. I have to go to Chengze Lake to eat braised food, so I might as well go and see it for myself.

Song Zhibai agreed, "Brother Gaosheng is absolutely right!"

Cheng Jun was a little embarrassed. "I only have fifteen cents in my hand. I'm afraid even if I add all of it, it won't be enough to buy a little bit..."

Cheng Jun had eaten it too, but of course he couldn't bear to buy it himself, it was all thanks to Song Zhibai and Gao Sheng.

I'm drooling just thinking about the taste, but I don't have much money, so I can't comment.

Since Song Zhibai, the host, had agreed, he naturally had to go and had to take out all his belongings.

Gao Sheng stopped him and said, "Hey? Brother Cheng Jun, what are you doing? There's no need to be so formal with each other. You lent me your notes for class to study. Can it be that they are not worth a little stew?"

Knowledge is worth a thousand gold. How can a little money be compared with it?

"Brother Cheng Jun, we are friends with you only because we have similar personalities. You don't need to care about family background.

Although your family is poor, you have good character and great talent.

It's just a temporary hardship now. If you study hard and keep your original aspirations, you will have a bright future. "

Song Zhibai's voice was gentle and his attitude was very sincere.

Gao Sheng also nodded deeply.

Cheng Jun was moved and said, "Thank you!"

Gao Sheng patted Cheng Jun on the shoulder and said jokingly, "Why are you thanking me? Take your money back now. Don't humiliate us like this. Let's think about what braised food to buy tomorrow!"

By the way, we have to go early tomorrow. My mom said we need to queue up in advance, otherwise we won’t be able to buy it! "

Song Zhibai smiled faintly and nodded, "Okay."

Cheng Jun had no objection, but Chen Gen had just caused such a scene today, and who knew what kind of scene he would cause tomorrow.

If Chen Lin really works as a clerk in the shop, it would be a good idea for him to go there. His cousin is not good at speaking, so he can protect him and prevent him from being bullied by the evil man Chen Gen.

Besides, he hadn't seen his cousin and his family for a long time, and he still missed them. It was also a good opportunity to ask his cousin why he ended up working as a clerk in a shop.

On the other side, Cheng Yue and the others had coaxed Zhang Shaowen and were already on their way home.

After going to Wu’s to get the ingredients, Cheng Yue went to the cloth shop.

Chen Tong was surprised and asked, "Mom, didn't we just buy clothes? Why do we need to buy cloth again?"

Cheng Yue jumped off the ox cart and said with a smile: "I didn't buy it for us. I have other uses for it. Wait a moment, I'll be out soon."

After a while, Cheng Yue came out with two pieces of cloth, one indigo and the other turmeric.

Zhang Shaowen was wearing patched clothes. Although they were washed clean, they were still not very good. The rest of the family was dressed decently, making him seem out of place.

So Cheng Yue thought about buying some cloth to make work clothes. Since she bought it for Zhang Shaowen, she couldn't be partial to him and had to buy some for Zhao Xiangxiu and Cuicui as well.

They are all linen for work wear, which is resistant to dirt, durable and not easy to damage, and is not expensive, making it the most suitable work clothes.

Cheng Yue said it had its uses, and no one asked along the way.

When they arrived at the village head's house, Zhang Shaowen jumped out of the car and was about to go home when Cheng Yue called him, "Shaowen, wait a minute, take this cloth back and ask your mother to make two sets of clothes for you to wear when you go to work."

Before Zhang Shaowen could say anything, Qian Yulan came out after hearing the sound. She was very nervous today, afraid that the child would do something bad, so she had been waiting with her ears pricked up, and was already looking forward to it.

"No, no! Why are you sending the cloth when the work hasn't been done yet? How much does it cost? Sister Cheng Yue, how did Shao Wen perform today? Did he make any mistakes?"

Cheng Yue was overwhelmed. With so many questions, which one should she answer first?
