Ever since he decided to give himself a wedding leave, Yu Zhou really didn't worry about things that were difficult to decide for a while.

Recently, it happened to be the season for mushrooms to grow in abundance in the mountains. During the day, he and Jin Chuan went to the mountains to pick mushrooms, and at night they were naturally affectionate, needless to say.

After a few days like this, Jin Chuan finally objected, "Let's go to town tomorrow, didn't we say we want to send some single-bud tea leaves to the Wu family as a gift?"

Although this matter is a bit difficult to say, but he really must find something to distract Yu Zhou as soon as possible, otherwise he will soon be overwhelmed by the posture of spending all his energy on him no matter whether it is night or day .

Yu Zhou has indeed lived quite comfortably these past few days, and has a deep understanding of the deep meaning of the word newlywed Yaner. Hearing that he is going to the town, he is still a little unhappy, "I will go in a few days."

"...No, I still have to go shopping." Jin Chuan hesitated for a moment, then immediately refused, and turned his head to stare at Yu Zhou, knowing that he couldn't bear this kind of tone the most, but there was something wrong with it. Love talking to him like that.

"Okay, okay, I'll go tomorrow morning," Yu Zhou immediately changed his tone, "Husband's needs should come first."

Hearing what he said, Jin Chuan felt a little hot in his ears, quickly glanced at Yu Zhou, turned his face away, and began to think about what to buy in the town tomorrow, which didn't seem like a random excuse.

The next day, the two of them went to the town early in the morning, but neither of them mentioned shopping. After eating a bowl of wontons at a wonton shop, they went to the largest dim sum shop in town.

After arriving at the Changning Bookstore, the guy who often received Yu Zhou saw them and greeted them with a smile. After saying "Mr. Yu is here" as usual, he added: "I wish you two a hundred years of good cooperation. , give birth to a precious son early."

Yu Zhou smiled, took out the snacks he just bought from the basket and handed them to him, "Is Treasurer Qian here?"

"Yes," the man got the snacks and smiled even more enthusiastically. After thanking him, he said to Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan, "I'll take you two to see him right now."

The main purpose of Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan's coming to the bookstore was to give back gifts to Qin Yuqing and the others. Of course, the snacks were specially bought for Shopkeeper Qian. After all, when they got married, Shopkeeper Qian also sent a lot of gift money. , I can't just give no gift in return.

After giving the snacks to Shopkeeper Qian, they went to see Qin Yuqing familiarly.

It's just that Qin Yuqing seemed to be busy with something today, so they waited for a while.

Qin Yuqing heard that Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan had come, and after arranging the matters at hand, he didn't take a break, and ran to the side hall to meet them again.

After he sat down, recalling what shopkeeper Qian said on the way here, he couldn't help but jokingly said: "I heard that you came to my bookstore early in the morning and gave snacks to the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper. What about the owner's?"

After Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan exchanged glances, both of them were startled, because they really didn't plan for Qin Yuqing's part.

Seeing the reaction of the two of them, Qin Yuqing knew that he didn't, so he joked: "Oh, I never thought that I would be inferior to the shopkeeper and the staff below."

He knew Yu Zhou's and Jin Chuan's style of doing things, and he would definitely not prepare a return gift for the shopkeeper without his share, so he dared to make such a joke.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Jin Chuan said with a smile: "We brought you some other things."

"What?" Qin Yuqing asked curiously.

Jin Chuan took out a bamboo jar containing tea leaves from his back basket, handed it to Qin Yuqing and said, "This."

Qin Yuqing took the same bamboo jar as last time, looked it up and down and asked, "Or tea?"

"Well," Jin Chuan nodded, "Open it and have a look."

Qin Yuqing's heart moved, and under the watchful eyes of Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan, he opened the jar. There were indeed tea leaves in it, but they were all single-bud.

He loves tea and understands tea, so he naturally knows the value of these tea leaves.

If these tea leaves are given to him by his friends or people with business contacts, they will be taken as soon as they are received.

But Yu Zhou was different from Jin Chuan. When they got married that day, he went to congratulate Wu Changlin with him, so he could probably guess what kind of conditions they had at home.

If the can of single-bud tea in his hand is sold, the money in exchange is probably enough for the young couple in front of him for several months.

But since he just joked and asked if he had a portion for Dim Sum, he was also willing to return the gift according to his preferences. If he said no, it would not only discredit the two of them, but also hurt the relationship between the two.

So after pondering for a while, Qin Yuqing said: "It's actually a single bud, so I have to store it up and taste it when I choose a good day."

Both Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan didn't know that he had such a thought in his mind. Seeing that he accepted it, they felt that they had paid back a favor, and after chatting for a while, they got up and left.

Qin Yuqing sent them to the door, seemingly unintentionally said: "My husband and I still have some contacts in this town. If you need any help in the future, just come to us."

After Yu Zhou thanked Jin Chuan, he responded casually, and neither of them paid much attention to it.

After all, they are ordinary people, and they don't fight with others, so how can they need help from other forces.

After the two came out of Changning Bookstore, the sky was a little dark, and it looked like it was going to rain.

Yu Zhou then asked: "Let's find a place to rest first, and wait for the rain to end?"

"Let's go to the cloth shop," Jin Chuan said, "I'm going to buy some fabrics and embroidery threads. Maybe the rain will pass after the selection is done."

"Okay." Yu Zhou naturally had no objection.

It's just that Meng Xia's rain came too fast, and there was no thunder to remind them. When the two of them walked halfway, they heard someone shouting that it was raining. Immediately afterwards, the crowd on the street started to run, and someone in the depths of the alley shouted to stop. clothes.

Everything happened in an instant, and when Yu Zhou felt the raindrops falling, he quickly dragged Jin Chuan to hide under the eaves of the shop facing the street.

But even so, there were still drops of water on their foreheads and hair tips.

After confirming that the raindrops did not fall on his body, Yu Zhou took out a handkerchief and wiped Jin Chuan's face and hair. When everything was dry, he took the handkerchief and wiped his face again.

Putting away the handkerchief and looking at the street, the pedestrians either ran away or hid under the shop facing the street.

The street was suddenly very quiet, so the originally quiet quarrel around the two became particularly noticeable.

Yu Zhou turned his head and saw two seven or eight-year-old boys standing not far from them. They were arguing over a bamboo dragonfly.

The one who looked a little younger was holding the bamboo dragonfly tightly in his hand and said, "I can't give this to you. My uncle made it for me."

"I'll just play for a few days, and I'll return it to you when I've played enough." The older one said forcefully.

"You always say you'll pay me back when you've had enough fun," the younger one clenched his lips, "but every time you return it, it's broken."

"Isn't that going to pay you back too?" said the older one, "And it's just a bamboo dragonfly, what a big deal."

The younger one was even more unhappy, "I don't think it's a big deal, so don't ask me to borrow it, or ask your uncle to make one for you too."

"My uncle works in the county government office, so he doesn't have time to make things." The older one raised his chin proudly, then, as if thinking of something, he glanced at the bamboo dragonfly in the hand of the younger one, and threatened, "If you don't lend me this bamboo dragonfly, I'll tell my uncle to go to your shop every day."

The younger one trembled when he heard the words, and handed the bamboo dragonfly over with his head down, "Then... remember to return it to me."

The big one snatched the bamboo dragonfly, circled it twice in his hand, and muttered, "It's as if this bamboo dragonfly is so rare."

Then I didn't care about this little one, I took the bamboo dragonfly and ran along the eaves where the rain couldn't get in.

The one left behind looked eagerly at his bamboo dragonfly, showing an expression that was about to cry.

After looking at it for a while, Jin Chuan took out a piece of snack from the basket behind Yu Zhou, walked over and squatted in front of the child: "Uncle, can you have a snack?"

Hearing this, the child looked up at Jinchuan, shook his head after a while, "Thank you uncle, I won't eat."

"Uncle just bought it not long ago, and it's still hot." Jin Chuan said and put the snack in the child's hand, but didn't get up, but continued, "Next time if you have something good, if you don't want to be snatched away by others, Just hide it and don't let anyone who will steal your things see it."

"I know," the child nodded, and said in a low voice, "This time he was here to hide from the rain."

"What a clever child." Jin Chuan touched the top of the child's head.

He didn't move after that, just squatted next to the child and waited until the rain stopped. The child glanced at the sky outside the eaves, then turned to Jinchuan, "The rain stopped, I'm going home."

"Go." Jin Chuan waved his hand.

The child turned around and walked a few steps, glanced at the dim sum in his hand, then turned back to Jin Chuan and said, "Thank you uncle for the dim sum."

When the child was far away, Jin Chuan got up and returned to Yu Zhou's side, annoyed, "I forgot to ask which family he is from."

"If there is a destiny, we will meet again." Yu Zhou took Jinchuan's hand and stepped out of the place covered by the eaves. The sun after the rain was particularly bright, and it fell warmly on the two of them. A faint rainbow.

After he glanced at it, he looked away, "After you buy the cloth and embroidery thread, come with me to the bookstore. I want to buy a copy of "The Analects of Confucius" back."

"The Analects of Confucius" is a compulsory part of the imperial examination. Jin Chuan was taken aback when he heard it, and realized that he had already made a decision, so he asked, "Is it because of the matter of those two children?"

"Not all of them." Yu Zhou said.

What happened to the two children just now really touched him. He is just a yamen servant, and he doesn't even have an official status, so he can make the people around him so pretentious.

He doesn't want to be that bully, but he also doesn't want his future child to be like this kid just now, who is powerless to resist when someone robs him of his beloved toy.

Another point is Jin Chuan's reaction just now.

People like him who grew up in a normal and equal environment, when they saw a child being robbed, would only teach them how to get it back. Even if they couldn't get it back by themselves, they would ask their parents for help.

Only those who have been bullied but can't resist, their first reaction is to hide and not let the bully see them.

He couldn't help Jin Chuan from being bullied before, but he didn't want Jin Chuan to be like this when he encountered this situation again in the future.
