I'm not worried about traveling through a farmer's house. I made my fortune by farming.

Hearing this, Lu Yanzhou immediately raised his head and looked at Lin Yunchu. Seeing that there was no change on her face, he lowered his head and continued to work.

"it is good."

It took a long time before Lu Yanzhou's low response was heard. Lin Yunchu smiled and said nothing more.

With Lu Yanzhou's help, the two of them moved much faster. In a short while, they had picked almost half of the basket. Lin Yunchu straightened up and patted the pepper leaves that were accidentally stuck on his hands.

He looked at the peppers in the basket and thought it was enough. "Brother Yanzhou, this is enough. I will go back first so as not to delay your work."

When Lin Yunchu saw Lu Yanzhou holding a hoe just now, he thought that he must be busy with work, and felt embarrassed for delaying him for so long.

Lin Yunchu picked up the hoe and handed it to Lu Yanzhou.

But Lu Yanzhou did not reach out to take it. Instead, he shook his head, squatted forward, and picked up the basket full of peppers.

"Oh, no need, I can carry it back myself."

Seeing this, Lin Yunchu quickly waved at him and stepped forward to take the backpack.

He had helped her pick the peppers and was planning to help carry them back, so Lin Yunchu felt a little embarrassed.

"I'll do it. This is heavy. You take the hoe and follow."

Lu Yanzhou was very frugal with his words, and his tone was a little light, but there was a hint of persistence in it that would not allow Lin Yunchu to refuse. After he finished speaking, he picked up the backpack and walked back towards the Lin family.

Lin Yunchu:............

The words of refusal that I wanted to say were stuck in my throat and I couldn't utter a word.

Lin Yunchu looked at the figure in front that had walked some distance away, picked up the hoe and quickly quickened his pace to catch up.

When the two returned to the Lin family, Lin's mother was a little surprised to see Lu Yanzhou, and then she hurried forward to help put down the backpack.

Looking at Lu Yanzhou, who was panting slightly and had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, he said distressedly: "Why is this child walking so fast? He is not in a hurry."

"I'm fine. I'll leave first. I still have some work to do at home."

When Lu Yanzhou saw Lin's mother, his eyebrows raised and he talked more than usual.

"Wait, I see that Auntie likes this cake, and there's some left at home. You can take some back."

Mother Lin packed a bag of homemade pastries. Two days ago, she saw that Grandma Lu liked to eat them, so she wanted to send them to her but she never had the time. When she saw Lu Yanzhou, she quickly packed some and stuffed them into Lu Yanzhou's hands.

The corners of Lu Yanzhou's mouth rose slightly, his voice became less cold, and he thanked Lin's mother without any further refusal.

"Thank you Aunt Lin."

Then he picked up the hoe that Lin Yunchu had just placed by the door and walked out of the Lin family's courtyard.

After dinner in the evening, Lin Yunchu and Lin Changting talked about taking Lu Yanzhou with them when they went to town tomorrow. Lin Changting nodded without hesitation.

Now there are no mushrooms in the mountains, and Lin Changping doesn't have to go to the town with them every time. It's not a problem to have one more person on the ox cart.

Moreover, they are so familiar with Lu Yanzhou, so it is only right for them to give him a ride.

The next morning.

After Lin Yunchu and Lin Changting had breakfast, they packed up the things they were going to take to town. When they opened the gate, they saw a familiar figure leaning outside their own gate.

"Yanzhou, when did you come? Why don't you go in?"

Lin Changting walked up to him and wanted to pull him into the house. It was already autumn, and it was still a bit chilly early in the morning. Judging from Lu Yanzhou's appearance, he must have been standing there for a while.

"I'm fine, I just arrived too."

Lin Changting pulled him into the house without saying a word and poured him a cup of hot water.

"Please sit down for a while. I'll go get the car."

After saying that, he hurried to the backyard. Looking at Lu Yanzhou's appearance, Lin's mother knew that the child had been standing outside the door just now, and was afraid that he would cause trouble for them.

Then he went to the kitchen and planned to make two pancakes for Lu Yanzhou to eat on the way.

It's so early in the morning, I'm afraid you haven't had breakfast yet. You can't go there hungry, and it will take quite a while to get to town.

When the three of them got on the ox cart and were about to set off, Lin's mother came out trotting with a pack of freshly made pancakes and stuffed them into Lu Yanzhou's hands.

With a smile on his face, he instructed Lu Yanzhou: "Save the pancakes I just made for you to eat on the way. Don't go hungry."

After saying this, Lin's mother waved to Lin Changting, indicating that he could set off.

Lin Changting nodded to his father and mother at the door of his house, raised his hand and waved the whip, and the ox cart slowly moved forward.

When the ox cart was almost at the entrance of the village, Lu Yanzhou came to his senses and gently touched the pancake that Lin's mother had just stuffed into his hand.

Wrapped in greaseproof paper, you can still feel the warmth in your hands and smell the aroma of eggs in the pancake.

I just saw Lin's mother turn around and go into the kitchen. I guess she made pancakes especially for him.

Lu Yanzhou didn't feel the coldness of the foggy morning at all, he just felt warm in his heart.

"Mom made this especially for you. Eat it quickly. It won't taste good if it gets cold."

Lin Changting was familiar with him. Looking at his appearance, he was afraid that he might feel embarrassed, so he spoke softly to Lu Yanzhou.

"Ah."

Lin Yunchu turned his head and looked at the scenery on both sides in a daze, his heart always thinking about the potatoes in his own field.

A few days ago, she went to the fields and discussed with Lin's father. She would start harvesting potatoes in two days.

The weather will get cold in a few days, and it's time to buy some cotton-padded clothes and bedding for the family to wear during the winter. I'll go to the cloth shop after I finish the work at Yipin Pavilion.

I was lost in thought and didn't notice how much time had passed. Gradually, more and more people came to the roadside and I could see the city gate from afar.

Lu Yanzhou straightened the books and two sets of clothes he had brought with him, and when the ox cart just drove into the city gate, he said to Lin Changting, "Changting, just stop here. I can just walk to the academy."

The ox cart had just stopped and Lin Changting hadn't spoken yet when Lu Yanzhou jumped down.

"Yanzhou, no need, we will take you directly to the academy."

Lin Changting raised his hand. Now this was his own ox cart, and it wouldn't take much time to get to the gate of the academy.

Lu Yanzhou shook his head, took his things, waved to the two of them, turned around and strode forward.

He has been in contact with the Lin family for a long time, and the Lin family has not been particularly wary of him.

Lu Yanzhou also had a vague idea of ​​the Lin family's livelihood, and he was afraid it would not be convenient for him to follow them. He was already very grateful that the Lin family's ox cart took him to the town.

This concerns someone's livelihood, so it's not right for him to keep following her like this.

Watching Lu Yanzhou's figure disappear around the corner in a short while, Lin Changting calmly lowered his raised arm, pulled the reins in his hand, and then rushed towards Yipin Pavilion.
