“Okay, let’s go back.” Chu Ziluo nodded.
Just as they were about to leave, they saw Teacher Lin walking out of the classroom. His clothes and hair were messy. He did not care about his image at all.
He walked up to Chu Ziluo and Chu Jin and asked politely, “Ziluo, Lil’ Jin, I’m a little busy right now. I would like to trouble you to take care of Zhongjin for me. It’s already noon. It’ll be long past mealtime by the time I’m done here.”
“This is some food and money. I’ll have to trouble your mother to help me take care of Zhongjin. I will personally come to thank you tonight.” Teacher Lin placed the vegetables and a money bag in Zhang Cong’s arms.
After he finished speaking, he wanted to say something else, but he was caught by the villagers who knew the news.
Teacher Lin was anxiously trying to explain something to the villagers, but the villagers did not listen, and they pulled him back into the school room.
In less than three breaths, his figure could no longer be seen.
Zhang Cong looked at the bag in his hand and then at Lin Zhongjin, who was completely unresponsive. He lowered his head and asked, “Miss, Young Master, what should we do?”
“Brother, do you want to come to our house for dinner? My mother cooks very well. She cooks the best in the village.” Chu Ziluo respected Lin Zhongjin’s opinion and asked for his opinion.
Seeing that his sister had asked, Chu Jin ate his peanuts in peace. He only glanced at Lin Zhongjin from time to time, but he did not pay much attention to him.
Lin Zhongjin glanced at the bag of rice in Zhang Cong’s arms.
“Sorry for the trouble.”
“Ah, you agree?” Chu Ziluo was stunned for a moment. Then, she smiled. “Let’s go, Brother. I think Mother has already made lunch.”
“Sister, where did these peanuts come from?” Chu Jin asked after realizing what was going on.
“Grandma gave it to me.”
“Go back and ask Mother to cook some too.” Chu Jin whispered.
The five children went home together.
The school was not far from the Chu family’s house. It was time for lunch, so there was almost no one in the field. In addition to Teacher Lin’s departure, many parents had gone to the school to inquire about the situation, so there were even fewer people.
In the kitchen, Ye Muyu and Madam Hu had already made fifteen jars of honey grapefruit tea.
After confirming that the taste was not bad at the beginning, it was much easier to boil it later on. They could just boil it together and then put it into a jar.
Madam Hu had just washed the pot and was preparing to make lunch.
Chu Jin and the others returned.
Zhang Shu was feeding the cattle and mules at home. When he heard the knock on the door, he quickly walked over to open the door.
When he opened the door and saw Chu Jin, she quickly said, “Young Master, Young Miss, you’re back. Madam is in the kitchen. She made some fresh tea today, so lunch will take a little longer.”
Chu Heng did not go home at noon, so he brought food with him.
“Uncle Zhang Shu, this is Zhongjin, Master Lin’s nephew.” Chu Ziluo introduced Lin Zhongjin to Zhang Shu.
Zhang Shu saw the kasaya that Lin Zhongjin was wearing and his bald head, but there was no burn scar on his head. He quickly thought of the matter in the village. There were also Master Lin’s relatives among the children who came down the mountain this time?
However, why was he already shaved?
Although Zhang Shu was puzzled, he did not ask.
He smiled and nodded. “Hello, my name is Zhang Shu. I’m a servant of the Chu family. You can call me Uncle Zhang Shu.”
Lin Zhongjin’s hand that was touching the Buddha beads paused. He nodded and saluted Zhang Shu. “Greetings, Uncle Zhang Shu.”
“You’re welcome. Come in quickly.”
After all, he was a guest, so Zhang Shu naturally did not dare to neglect him. The five children entered the courtyard. Ye Muyu saw them from the kitchen window..
