The two of them took the bowls and chopsticks on the side and started eating.

Lin Yunchu and Lin Changting, who were standing in front of the stall, smiled with satisfaction when they saw the two people eating. Then they turned around and started packing buns for the new customers.

By the time Xie Youzhu and the others finished their meal, the buns on the stall had been sold out. Lin Yunchu and Lin Changting were busy packing up everything and loading it onto the cart.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xie Youzhu and Zhao did not dare to delay and hurried to buy some food and headed back to Xiejia Village.

They used a cart, so it would take some time to get back.

Lin Yunchu and his companion also bought some meat and went to a bookstore on another street. Lu Yanzhou had brought them there before, and Lin Yunchu wanted to go and take a look and buy two books for Lin Changan.

Lin Changan has been extremely hardworking since he went to school. Every day after coming back, he either practices calligraphy or reads books. Today, he rarely comes to the town, so Lin Yunchu wants to go and see if there are any books suitable for Lin Changan and buy two for him.

Lin Changting parked the ox cart not far from the bookstore. He stayed on the ox cart to look at things and only let Lin Yunchu go in while he waited outside.

Lin Yunchu nodded. There was a small alley in front of the bookstore, and it was difficult for the ox cart to enter. Besides, they had just bought a lot of things, so it was okay for her to go in and take a look first.

The bookstore was very quiet. There were only a few people there at a glance. They were all dressed like scholars and should be students from the academy in the town.

Lin Yunchu also slowed down his pace and walked towards the rows of bookshelves in front, looking slowly with his head down.

The bookstore was filled with a faint scent of ink and the occasional whispered discussions of a few students.

"Yun Chu, why are you here?"

Lin Yunchu lowered her head when suddenly a familiar voice came from the side. Before she could put down the book in her hand, she looked up and saw that someone was standing next to her.

It turned out to be Lu Yanzhou whom I hadn’t seen for a long time!

"Only you?"

On weekdays, Lin Yunchu usually came to the town with Lin Changting, but Lu Yanzhou was a little surprised to see that there was no one around Lin Yunchu.

He happened to have some free time today to come to the bookstore, and unexpectedly met Lin Yunchu.

Seeing that the person coming was Lu Yanzhou, Lin Yunchu was relieved immediately. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he lowered his voice to explain: "No, my brother is waiting for me outside. It's not easy for the ox cart to come in here, and we also bought some things."

Upon hearing Lin Yunchu's words, Lu Yanzhou understood what was going on. He knew that Lin Yunchu did not come to the town alone, otherwise he would have been a little worried.

Seeing Lin Yunchu looking at the bookshelf for a long time, Lu Yanzhou subconsciously asked: "What are you looking for? Maybe I can help you take a look."

Lu Yanzhou had a smile on his lips. This bookstore was where Lin Changan came from when he was preparing to go to school. He brought Lin Yunchu and Lin Changting here to help buy some things for school.

When Lin Yunchu heard this, he was immediately delighted. He thought that instead of searching here like a blind cat, it would be better to ask Lu Yanzhou for help.

He was studying at the academy in the town, so he naturally knew better than her what kind of books he should choose for Lin Chang'an. He immediately told her the purpose of his visit to the bookstore today.

Lin Yunchu raised her head and found that the person in front of her was looking at her with pursed lips. His clear eyes were burning, and it was difficult to tell his emotions in his dark eyes.

Lu Yanzhou, who was lost in thought, was caught off guard when he met Lin Yunchu's raised eyes. He suddenly stood there, coughed lightly, and turned his head away.

"Let me help you find a few books. Chang'an has just been to the academy for a short time, so there's no need to look for someone so responsible..."

As he spoke, he searched the bookshelf, and soon he had several books and copybooks in his hands.

Listening to Lu Yanzhou's murmurs, Lin Yunchu realized that the person in front of him was the familiar Lu Yanzhou.

On weekdays, when Lu Yanzhou came to the Lin family, he always had lively eyes and was quiet. Before Lin Changan went to school, he took him to learn a lot of words.

"Here, just take a look at these first. And this calligraphy copybook, let Chang'an use it first. I'll bring him some more next time I go back."

Lin Yunchu took the thing Lu Yanzhou handed over, his lips curled up slightly, his eyes full of smiles, and he thought to himself, this is probably the longest time Lu Yanzhou has ever spoken.

This is the first time I've heard him talk so much at once. Usually he just says "um" or "hmm".

Seeing Lin Yunchu like this, Lu Yanzhou's body froze. He didn't know if he had said something wrong, but he just stood there like a petrified person.

"Okay, thank you Brother Yanzhou."

Lin Yunchu pursed his lips, with a hint of smile in his eyes.

When the two walked out of the bookstore, they saw Lin Changting squatting beside the ox cart from afar.

Lin Changting felt the gazes of the two people, and when he raised his head, he met their eyes.

"Yanzhou is here too. I didn't expect to meet you here."

Lin Changting didn't think much of it. It wasn't easy to meet someone in this town, and Lu Yanzhou had brought them to this bookstore before, so it wasn't surprising to meet them here.

Before, when Lin Changting came to the town, he often helped Grandma Lu bring some things to Lu Yanzhou. The two were not strangers to each other, and they would joke happily when they met.

"Yes, I just happened to come here looking for two books and came across it."

Lu Yanzhou smiled slightly as he met the Lin family. He was in a good mood at the moment, and his face no longer had the indifference of the past. He seemed a lot gentler.

"How are you preparing for the exam? I went to your house with my mother. Grandma Lu has been missing you lately. I can hear her mumbling about you all the time."

When Lu Yanzhou was in the academy, the Lin family often went to visit Lu's house and help with the cleanup. When Lin Changting had some free time, he would also go and do some heavy work.

Lu Yanzhou is going to take part in the college entrance examination this year and has not returned to Qingxi Village for a long time. Lin Changting thought that Grandma Lu was thinking about Lu Yanzhou, so he asked.

Lu Yanzhou also knew that Lin Changting had no other intentions and was just asking casually, but he still responded seriously: "Not bad, the college entrance examination will take some time."

I haven't been home for a long time because I had to take the college entrance examination. Knowing that my grandmother was worried about me, I casually said, "I'll go back in a few days when I have a day off."

Upon hearing what Lu Yanzhou said, Lin Changting immediately laughed and patted him on the shoulder.

The three chatted for a while and then separated. Lu Yanzhou hurried back to the academy, while Lin Yunchu and Lin Changting also hurried towards Qingxi Village.

There were a lot of things to do today, so I didn't expect to meet Lu Yanzhou in the academy, so I chatted for a few more minutes. Now it was getting late, and if they didn't hurry up, I'm afraid Lin's mother would be waiting anxiously at home.

Moreover, Lin Yunchu had just decided on new dishes with Xue Jingran today. He was worried about the potatoes at home and the vermicelli in the workshop, so he had to go back and take a look before he could feel at ease.
