"Buy embroidery thread?" Yu Zhou asked suspiciously, wondering if Jinchuan can also embroider?

"Yes, I want to embroider some things and sell them." Jin Chuan pursed his lips and nodded.

"You really know how to embroider?!!!" Yu Zhou was shocked. To be honest, after traveling for a few days, although he knew intellectually that his brother was different from a man, it was still difficult to be like him emotionally. Like the difference between men and women, they can be completely distinguished subconsciously.

For brother, he always unconsciously classifies this gender as the same as a man.

"My mother taught me." Jin Chuan thought of the past, his eyes darkened.

Yu Zhou keenly felt that Jin Chuan's mood suddenly became depressed, but this kind of thing was not comforting, so he had to choose to divert his attention.

So he counted out twenty copper coins from the cloth bag that Aunt Chen gave just now, and handed them to Jin Chuan: "Here you are, twenty."

After getting along with each other for the past few days, Jin Chuan is almost certain that Yu Zhou's family has no money. For him, even Aunt Chen's next door is not that much.

But for Yu Zhou, that was the wages he could only earn in a day's work, so he borrowed it so simply, Jin Chuan was stunned and forgot to reach out to pick it up.

Yu Zhou shook his head with a smile, and put the copper plate on the pile of cloth in the bamboo basket next to Jin Chuan, "Didn't you say you wanted to borrow money, why didn't you accept it?"

"I..." Jin Chuan's eyes were a little hot, and he looked up at Yu Zhou steadily, "I will definitely return it to you soon."

"Okay, I believe you," Yu Zhou nodded, "Then we're going to town together tomorrow, right?"

"go together."

After getting an affirmative answer, Yu Zhou went into the house.

Jin Chuan sat at the door with his head bowed, his eyes were moist, but the corners of his lips raised unconsciously.

He thought of the days when Zeng Jin was detained by his father in the backyard. His mother always taught him piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and female celebrities, saying that if he could leave that home in the future, these things would be of great benefit to him.

Now it seems that his mother was right.

What's more, Jin Chuan felt that now he can confidently refute what his stepmother said, why can't good things happen to people like him?Since leaving that home, everything that happened to him in the past few days was a good thing.

When they went to town the next day, the Chen family father and son saw that Jin Chuan was following behind Yu Zhou. They were quite surprised, but they didn't say anything. Even Chen Feng, who was always talkative, just nodded at Jin Chuan After saying hello, they consciously distanced themselves.

Yu Zhou has been working with Chen Feng for the past few days, and he has almost figured out his temperament.

Seeing that he didn't say a word, but just buried his head on his way, he felt strange.

After he figured out what was going on, he couldn't help laughing, walked quickly to Chen Feng's side, and said with a low laugh, "Is that what you look like?"

"Do you think everyone is the same as you?" Chen Feng rolled his eyes, and after less than three seconds of getting angry, he became a ball again, "He's a big brother!"

Yu Zhou was a little speechless: "What's the matter, brother, isn't he a human too?"

"Except for my mother and the others, I haven't had much contact with women," Chen Feng said shyly, "let alone brother."

Yu Zhou saw that although he was hiding from Jinchuan, there was nothing wrong with his words and deeds. After a little thought, he figured it out. His behavior should be similar to the behavior of adolescent boys hiding from girls of the same age. I shouldn't have thoughts.

It's just that they will do this, most of them are relatively introverted people, Yu Zhou didn't expect Chen Feng to be so talkative, and he would do the same.

The two families are right next door, and there will always be times when they come into contact with each other. Could it be possible that they can still keep silent?

Yu Zhou tried his best to put himself into Chen Feng's thoughts, and then said: "Why don't you think about it in another way, anyway, he will marry someone sooner or later, and that person will not be you, so you can treat him like the sister-in-law and aunt in the village It’s fine if you don’t treat it well.”

I didn't feel it when I said it, but after he finished speaking, Yu Zhou wanted to cover his face. What kind of analogy was he making? Sure enough, it's not important to substitute, so he quickly said: "You didn't hear what I said just now."

"No." Chen Feng stared at Yu Zhou for a moment as if he had realized something, and then said, "I think what you said is very reasonable."

Yu Zhou: ...

He didn't want to ask what Chen Feng meant when he glanced at him just now, since it couldn't be a good thing anyway.Now he just hates that his brain was short-circuited just now, why did he say that.

"Why are you walking so fast?" Uncle Chen shouted from behind, "I don't have much to do in town today, so don't be so anxious."

Hearing Uncle Chen's words, Yu Zhou realized that he was talking to Chen Feng just now, and he had already walked a lot in front of Uncle Chen and Jin Chuan.

He stopped in place and waited.

After a while, Jin Chuan and Uncle Chen followed, but this time Yu Zhou and Chen Feng consciously slowed down.

Chen Feng didn't know if he really recognized Yu Zhou's fallacy, his expression disappeared from the unnaturalness just now, and he started talking more, "Yu Zhou, are you going to the bookstore later? I'm going to go with my father." Going to the blacksmith's shop is in a different direction from yours, and we will leave after Zhenshan."

"Okay." Yu Zhou has no objection, a town is only that big, and when he arrives, he knows where he is, so he can find it easily. He is not a child, and he still needs someone to accompany him.Then he asked casually, "Are you going to hunt farm tools?"

"It's already done," Chen Feng said with a proud smile on his face, "A set of plow and harrow, isn't it for plowing the seedling field, just take it back and use it."

Yu Zhou could easily see from his expression that this should be a big purchase for the farm family, so he responded with a smile, "That's a good relationship."

Uncle Chen asked, "Boy Zhou, are you going to plant both of those paddy fields this year, or just one like in previous years?"

"Plant them all." Yu Zhou had heard from Chen Feng what kind of land his family had before. It is said that the two paddy fields are in a good location, but they are not very big, and the total is only one mu and three acres.

With such a small place to grow rice, Yu Zhou is not worried that he will be too busy, but that the harvest will not be enough to eat.

"Okay, it's still the same as in previous years. I'll raise the seedlings for you." Uncle Chen said.

Yu Zhou is good at planting and harvesting, but he really doesn't know how to raise seedlings. Uncle Chen's help can be said to have solved his big problem, "Thank you, Uncle Chen."

"Thank you," Uncle Chen said indifferently, "You young people are inexperienced, don't damage it and affect the whole season's harvest."

On the way, Yu Zhou asked Uncle Chen about what kind of dry land should be planted, and Uncle Chen answered them one by one.

Jin Chuan listened quietly at the side without interrupting.

All the way to the gate of the town, the Chen family father and son showed Yu Zhou the way to the book shop, and then left, leaving only the two of them.

Yu Zhou has no memory of the original owner, so this place is a strange place to him.

Jinchuan had never been here before, and he was also a stranger.

It's just that Yu Zhou is a man, so it's much more convenient to go anywhere.

He looked around on the road, but he didn't see any brothers or women, so he asked Jin Chuan, "Will you go to the bookstore first with me, and then go to buy embroidery thread together, or go separately?"

Jin Chuan's eyes lit up when he heard the words, "Let's go together."

"Then let's go." Yu Zhou greeted, because there were so many people on the street, they unconsciously got closer than before.

According to the road Chen Feng pointed out before, the two of them walked around a street and soon saw the plaque of Chang Ning Bookstore.

When they entered, there were already many people who were shopping or borrowing books in the shop. At first glance, most of them were dressed as scholars, and the few who were not dressed so well looked like book boys or servants. The owner sent me to buy things.

Although the clothes on Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan were clean and tidy, their attire was still a bit out of tune with the people here.

When the man saw them stepping into the threshold, his expression was the same. He smiled and greeted them and asked, "What do you two need?"

"Steward Wu asked me to come, he said that there is a job of copying books here." Yu Zhou said.

"That's our boss," the clerk smiled more sincerely, and led Yu Zhou to a corner, "This way please."

When he got to the counter, he took out two books from inside and handed them to Yu Zhou: "Now there are only these two books to copy, you choose one."

Yu Zhou picked it up and flipped through it. He reckoned that the thin one was about [-] words, and the thick one was in the early [-]s. They were all about the story of a scholar who was rushing for an exam and met a rich lady.

He couldn't help laughing. Sure enough, this kind of lustful and obscene stories, even in a world that didn't exist in history, are also welcomed by scholars.

Especially this year coincides with the three-year township examination, wouldn't this kind of words sell well?

But these have nothing to do with Yu Zhou, what he cares more about is how much money he can make by copying a script, "I don't know what is the difference in price between these two books?"

"The thin one is [-] Wen, and the thick one is [-] Wen," said the clerk. "The pen and ink are all provided by our book store."

Yu Zhou asked again: "Then do I have to fry it here, or can I take it home?"

"Most of the copyists copy from the back of the book shop," said the buddy, "but our boss said that your home is far away from the town, and it is inconvenient to go back and forth every day. If you can get two blank copies, you can deposit another fifty cents here."

If you take it back and copy it, you will definitely take away a finished book. If you copy a thin book, it will cost fifty cents, and the price of the finished book will only be higher. Compared with it, fifty cents is nothing.

Yu Zhou and Wu Guanshi also met on both sides. It is understandable that Wu Guanshi would recommend him to copy books, but the treatment he gave was completely beyond Yu Zhou's expectations. He couldn't help but wondered: "You are not afraid that I will take it. After the things are gone, won't you come back?"

"The owner said that you are an honest person and can be trusted." The man laughed, "Before you take the things away, we must first sign a contract."

What he didn't say was that in this town and several nearby villages, there was no one who could not return the things that his boss had taken.

Hearing the word "integrity", Yu Zhou suddenly remembered that when he was working in Luofengpo, when the work was over the next day, the sender gave him an extra penny.

He couldn't help laughing.

Seeing that he had nothing to ask, the man said, "Have you decided which one to choose? I can write the contract."

"Let's just take the thinner one." Yu Zhou said, although copying two thicker ones will cost you an extra [-] Wen, but the corresponding time will also be longer. He is really short of money now, so earn money as soon as possible. Getting it is the most important thing.

Afterwards, the two parties signed a contract, and after Yu Zhou gave the deposit, the clerk handed the wrapped books and pens to Yu Zhou, and sent them out: "Mr. Yu and Fu Lang walk slowly."
