The next morning, Jinchu got up early and made a simple breakfast, then woke up Zhaoer. After the brother and sister finished breakfast and tidied everything up, she asked Zhaoer to change into a new cotton-padded jacket and also got herself some clothes to go out.

When changing clothes, I accidentally touched the silver buttons in my pocket again. When I took them out, I found that there were only two silver buttons left out of the original four.

I think I lost it somewhere when I went to the provincial capital last time.

Fortunately, although this silver button was exquisite and unique, it was very light and not worth much money. Jin Chu only felt regretful for a few breaths and then it passed.

She carefully put away the remaining two, ready to sew them onto clothes for further use when she had the chance.

The brother and sister changed into clean clothes and sat at home waiting for news from Huizhen.

Not long after, Wei Yue came to the door, shouting, "Sister Jin'er, are you and Zhao'er packed? My sister asked me to call you out!"

Zhao'er, who had been absent-minded, suddenly jumped up and replied impatiently: "Brother Wei Yue, my sister and I are ready!"

Jinchu also greeted him with a smile: "Brother Yue, where are your sisters?"

"My father and sister are waiting at the village entrance. If you are ready, let's go now!"

Jin Chu nodded, picked up the small bag that had been prepared long ago, took Zhao'er's hand and walked towards the village entrance with Wei Yue.

As soon as the three of them arrived at the village entrance, they were spotted by the sharp-eyed Huizhen. She jumped off a cart and waved at Jinchu: "Jin'er, here you are!"

Jin Chu and the other two hurried over and found that there was a middle-aged man of about forty years old sitting on the shaft of the cart.

He was of medium build, with a strong physique, slightly dark skin, bright eyes, and looked very strong and powerful.

At this moment, he was smiling at Jin Chu and the other two who were walking towards him.

This should be Huizhen’s father Wang Dewang!

When Jinchu and the other two came up to him, Wang Dewang's smile widened. He smiled and greeted them first: "This is Jin'er and Zhao'er, right? I am your uncle Wang."

"It's us. The last time Zhao'er disappeared, Uncle Wang was busy running around for two days, and Jin'er hasn't even thanked him yet!"

After Jin Chu finished speaking, he quickly thanked Wang Dewang.

Wang Dewang hastily refused, "Jin girl, don't be so polite. You and Huizhen are good friends, and you've helped my Huizhen a lot. Besides, Zhao'er's disappearance last time was caused by my son Yue'er's erratic behavior. I haven't apologized to you yet, so how can I dare accept your thank-you gift?"

"Zhao'er's disappearance can't be blamed on Brother Yue. This is all the cause Zhao'er planted before. Without Brother Yue, Zhao'er can't escape the consequences. The only difference is that it happened sooner or later!"

Jin Chu looked at Wang Dewang sincerely and explained seriously.

In her heart, she really didn't blame Wei Yue too much. The conflicts between Zhao'er, Fudan and Ernou were bound to erupt completely sooner or later. Wei Yue just brought the time point forward.

However, she did not expect that the conflict between the three children would give Li Hunzi, who intervened, an advantage and almost kidnapped Zhao'er, causing Zhao'er to suffer even more.

But now Zhao'er has returned to normal. Although that Li Hunzi did not get the punishment he deserved, he is now scared and has fled. He dare not return to Qingxi Village easily. Zhao'er is temporarily safe.

"Okay, Jin girl, because of your generosity and generosity, if there's anything in your family that requires a man's help, just let Huizhen come and tell me. I'll be so arrogant as to treat you like my niece."

Wang Dewang, who already had a good impression of Jin Chu, now felt even more sincere towards the girl in front of him.

Jin Chu smiled and said, "Although this is our first meeting, I naturally want to have an elder who can raise children like Big Brother Wang, Huizhen, and Little Brother Yue. It's an honor for me that Uncle Wang treats me as a legitimate junior."

"Look at you, girl. You really have a clever tongue! Your words have made your uncle Wang feel sweeter than drinking honey!"

Seeing Jinchu praising his children, Wang Dewang couldn't help but be delighted. He smiled brightly and said, "We'll have many opportunities to meet in the future. Come up quickly. Uncle will take you to the big market in the capital to buy New Year's goods."

Jin Chu agreed and climbed into the car.

Wang Dewang cracked the whip and the mule cart began to slowly move towards the provincial capital.

Because he was in a hurry to pick up Wang Weiyuan, Uncle Wang walked very fast along the way. In addition, the mule was fat and strong, so it took only half an hour to reach the gate of the city today, which usually took him half an hour.

Donglan Academy is located in the east of the city, and on the way you can pass through the main streets of the city.

Huizhen yelled at her father, "Dad, when we get to the street, please drop me and Jin'er off first. Take Yuedi and Zhao'er with you to pick up my eldest brother. After that, please wait for us at the beginning of East Street."

"I knew you, an impatient girl, couldn't sit still!"

Wang Dewang scolded his daughter with a smile, then turned to look at Jinchu. "Jin girl, I'll let you two down in a while. Go get some things you need. I'll take Zhao'er with me. After we pick up Yuan'er, we'll come back and wait for you. You should have bought most of your things by then. If you have nothing to do this afternoon, let Yuan'er take the two kids for a walk around the neighborhood. That way, you two girls won't be bothered from doing your own things."

Jin Chu nodded repeatedly, smiling and praising, "Uncle Wang, your idea is great. It saves both worry and effort. It's perfect for Zhao'er to follow Big Brother Wang. It's just that it will be a hassle for Big Brother Wang."

Wang Dewang laughed and said, "Given your relationship with Huizhen, Zhao'er can be considered Yuan'er's younger brother. It shouldn't be a problem for him to take care of his own brother. You don't have to be polite, Jin."

So the matter was settled. After another cup of tea, Jinchu and Huizhen got out of the car hand in hand, and they happily headed towards the bustling street market.

Jinchu purchased items according to the list he had made last night, including rice, flour, grain, oil, meat, some vegetables, long-lasting fruits and nuts. He also bought Zhao'er a set of cotton-padded jackets and shoes and socks for the New Year.

As for the rest, she planned to wait until later when she took Zhao'er out for a walk, and then buy some snacks that children like according to his preferences, and the New Year's goods would be almost ready.

Huizhen didn't buy anything big this time. They would buy it together later when her father came back. This morning she mainly came to accompany Jinchu to buy New Year's goods and to help her get some things.

When the two girls returned to the street carrying bags of things, they saw Zhao'er sitting outside the car from a distance.

At this time, he was looking down and studying a toy-like object carefully. Wei Yue next to him was also very interested and gave him instructions from time to time. The two of them were very close to each other, with their heads almost touching.

Not far from them, a tall and handsome young man was holding a book and looking at the two little guys with a smile.
