Ever since Sun came to the house and delivered a large bag of food and supplies, he has indeed become much more well-behaved.

Jin Chu knew that this woman must have other intentions, which was simply to make her let down her guard so that she could be sold for a good price after she came of age next year.

Now she was mentally prepared. It was indeed still more than half a year before she came of age, and she would have to move out of here with Zhao'er after the New Year. While Sun was not coming to make trouble, she could spend this rare peaceful time leisurely with Zhao'er.

So Jinchu enjoyed the food sent by Sun without hesitation, and stayed at home every day to teach and enjoy the company with Zhaoer.

After a few days, when the food was almost gone, she would go to Sun's house again to ask for more. The brother and sister were very happy, and Zhao'er gradually regained his former liveliness.

In this way, the days passed by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month.

One day, Huizhen brought Wei Yue to visit.

Seeing the brother and sister studying, she smiled and invited them, "Jin'er, today is the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month. Why don't we go to the provincial capital tomorrow? The New Year is approaching, and you and Zhao'er can buy anything you want to eat or use in advance!"

There was indeed not much food left at home, and Jin Chu wanted to go to the provincial capital. However, when he thought about how Zhao'er fell into the hands of Fudan and Ernao because of his trip to the provincial capital, which led to the disaster that Li Hunzi took advantage of the situation and almost sold him out, he immediately hesitated.

"Sister, you and Sister Huizhen go together. Zhao'er will not leave the hospital tomorrow. Just stay at home and study hard and wait for you to come back." The smart Zhao'er saw her sister's concerns and advised her.

Huizhen patted Zhao'er's head and praised him: "Although our Zhao'er is young, he is also a smart person!" After saying this, Huizhen smiled at Zhao'er and asked: "If I take Zhao'er with me to the provincial capital tomorrow, would you be willing?"

Zhao'er's eyes lit up when he heard Huizhen's words. He was about to say yes, but suddenly thought of the distance to the city. He lowered his head in disappointment and whispered, "Zhao'er won't go. The city is too far. Zhao'er can't walk. Sister has to buy a lot of things. Zhao'er going will only cause trouble for Sister."

Huizhen scratched his nose lovingly and couldn't help but sigh: "Zhao'er is such a well-behaved and sensible child!"

He's so well-behaved that it makes people feel a little distressed!

Jin Chu said in his heart.

Forget it, compared to the New Year, Zhao'er is the most important.

She was about to turn down Huizhen's invitation when Wei Yue jumped out and said anxiously, "Sister Jin'er, my sister and I are here to invite you and Zhao'er to go to the capital together tomorrow. Don't listen to my sister teasing you!"

Jin Chu looked at Hui Zhen, who was smiling beside him, puzzled, and asked curiously, "Is there something I don't know about this?"

Seeing Jinchu and Zhaoer both looking curious, Huizhen burst out laughing and said, "I won't tease you two anymore!"

It turned out that her family had received a letter from her elder brother Wang Weiyuan, which said that tomorrow was the day for the students of Donglan Academy to have their annual vacation. After living there for a winter, most of the students would bring their bedding back home to change and wash it.

Every time at this time, Huizhen's father would hire a donkey cart to go to the provincial capital, so that he could pick up her elder brother in person and buy New Year's goods, killing two birds with one stone.

"Jin'er, this is my father driving the carriage. My mother has something to do tomorrow and can't leave, so I came to ask you and Zhao'er to come with us. This way, you can buy New Year's goods smoothly, and I can take Zhao'er out for a walk. This will also prevent you from leaving Zhao'er alone at home and worrying about him going out."

"You are going to pick up Brother Wang. If I bring Zhao'er with me, maybe there will be room for us to sit in the car?" Jin Chu was tempted, but when he thought about Wang Weiyuan and the bedding he had to bring, plus Huizhen's family, it would not be good if the car was too crowded.

Huizhen waved her hand and said loudly, "There's room. How old are you and Zhao'er? How much space can you take up? My father hired a large cart that can seat six or seven people! Besides, this time it's just me and Yuedi, you and Zhao'er, and if we come back, my eldest brother will be added. There will only be three adults and two children in total, so there's room even for two more."

Hearing what Sister Huizhen said, Zhao'er's head, which had been lowered, suddenly raised up again, and looked at his sister intently, his eyes filled with expectation and yearning.

Jin Chu was about to speak when Wei Yue at the side beat her to the punch: "Sister Jin'er, please don't refuse anymore. I'll go with you tomorrow. I promise to stay close to Brother Zhao'er and never make the same mistake again!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Huizhen laughed and exposed her brother's past: "Jin'er, do you know why he is so active?"

"Why?" Jin Chu asked with a smile.

"That's because my parents originally wanted my younger brother Yue to study at home, but this kid wanted to go to the capital and used his influence as a pretext. I told my parents that he was going to look after my younger brother Zhao'er tomorrow. We knew you had to do a lot of shopping tomorrow, and Zhao'er wouldn't be able to handle it with him around, so my parents let him go."

When Wang Weiyue said this, he was not ashamed. He nodded repeatedly with a smile. At the end, he added: "So, Sister Jin'er, just help me! Take Zhao'er with you. If Zhao'er doesn't go, I can't go either."

After the brother and sister sang, recited and acted out their actions, Jin Chu had to agree even if he didn't want to.

What's more, he is sincerely considering himself and his sister. How could Jin Chu be the kind of person who doesn't know how to be grateful?

She smiled and said, "Okay, in order for Brother Yue to go out tomorrow, I have to take Zhao'er with me. But..."

She changed the subject, and the smile on Zhao'er's face frightened him so much that it froze again.

Wei Yue also looked nervous: "Sister Jin'er, what are you doing?"

Jin Chu laughed mischievously, "But even brothers have to settle accounts. Besides, your family hired this big car, and Uncle Wang is driving it. Zhao'er and I can't ride for free. I have to pay half of the money for the car!"

Seeing Jinchu only said this, Huizhen laughed and said, "I thought you were not going again! But you are actually rushing to pay the money. Anyway, you are rich and generous, you are a small wealthy man, so you can pay the money if you want! But there are so many people from my family going, and there are only two of you, Zhao'er and me. You can't pay half of the money even if you share it. So, how about you pay one third!"

"That won't do. Let's just say half. Uncle Wang, doesn't he need any wages for driving?" Jin Chu had a smile on his face, but there was persistence in his words.

"Okay, okay, I'll take half of it from you, okay?" Huizhen compromised with a smile, then rolled her eyes at her, "What a silly girl! You're so rich, yet you still think it's too much."

After they finished discussing their business, they agreed on a time to go out the next day, and Huizhen and Wei Yue went home together.

Jinchu looked at Zhao'er's excited face and said with a smile, "Zhao'er, you should rest early today so that you can get up early tomorrow."

The little guy nodded happily and agreed: "I will listen to my sister."

After saying that, he continued to review his lessons.
