After returning home from Chuting Township, Zhou Shu was always in a good mood.Zhu Zhu was a little puzzled: "Then why doesn't Qi Silang raise sheep, but pigs instead? Pork doesn't taste good!"

Zhou Shu raised the corner of his mouth: "If you can understand what he is thinking, maybe you can be Qi Silang too."

Zhu Zhu was speechless, and said again: "Anyway, the Qi family has a lot of foundations for him to toss."

Zhou Shu didn't stop her from muttering, but he didn't follow her words either, intending to stop the topic at this point.

Back at Zhou's house, Zhou Shu subtly noticed that the expressions of the servants were a little strange, and the atmosphere in the house was even more subtle.When she enters the inner house, she will know what's going on.

"Yan Niang is back!"

Following Zhou's mother Chen's call, Zhou Shu also saw his parents and a young man and woman sitting in the inner hall.

The man has thick eyebrows and big eyes, but the contours of his face are soft, and he quietly stares at Zhou Shu, just like that tender scholar.Sitting next to him was a girl with a beautiful face, wearing a pink collar half-arm, looking innocent and innocent.

"Father, mother." Zhou Shu bowed to his parents first, and then looked at the couple.

The girl didn't hold back at all, and ran to her side with a smile on her face, calling out, "Sister!"

Zhou Shu's relationship with her is obviously good. When he saw her, he couldn't help but put a smile on his face: "Jiao Niang."

When he turned his eyes to the man again, Zhou Shu's smile became more measured: "Cousin."

Zhou Shu's "property" made the man feel a sense of distance, but he didn't care, his eyes were still affectionate and restrained: "Yan Niang, you are back!"

These words sounded weird to Zhou Shu, but she didn't say much in front of her parents.She asked, "Why did my cousin come here today?"

Before the man could speak, Chen interrupted: "I called Brother An over."

Zhou Shu cast his eyes on his own mother, the light in his eyes dimmed slightly.She naturally knew what Chen meant. It should be said that since the past two years, Chen has been very anxious about her marriage, and at the same time, she wanted to hand over the Zhou family's business to a trustworthy person.

And Chen can think of a way to meet these two conditions at the same time, that is to find her nephew, Zhou Shu's cousin Chen Zizai, and let him marry her daughter, and the Zhou family's family business can also be handed over to him. Reasonable, let Zhou Shu assist him.

Of course, these things have never been put on the table, Zhou Shu has a delicate mind, and naturally figured out her own mother's intentions, so these years, she just wants to work harder to prove that even if she is a girl, she can support the Zhou family.

Chen didn't notice the emotional change in her daughter's eyes, she pulled Zhou Shu and said, "You always go out these days, I know it's because Zhou's tea business is getting better, so there are many things you need to take care of But after all, you are a big girl with yellow flowers, and you always go out to show your face, which is not good."

"Ahem, don't talk nonsense!" Yuan Zhou interrupted his wife when he heard the words.

Mrs. Chen glared at him, and continued to say to Zhou Shu: "Even if we don't talk about your publicity, there are five tea gardens in our family, and each of them needs someone to take care of them. - I'm exhausted. I don't feel relieved to hand it over to someone else. Brother An happened to be free, so I called him to help you."

Zhou Shu didn't directly refuse. She glanced at Chen Zizai and said, "My cousin is quite talented. I'm afraid it's a shame to ask him to help manage the tea plantation. Uncle's wish is to hope that my cousin can get a good job in the exam and revitalize Chen Zizai." Family, Guangyao lintel, mother did not delay cousin?"

Chen Zizai didn't respond, but Chen Shi was in a hurry: "Why not delay? You also know that Brother An has been studying for many years, he can read and write, and his ability to earn a living must not be bad!"

There is no necessary relationship between "literacy" and "ability to make a living", but Zhou Shu thought, considering her mother's stubborn temperament, she probably didn't care.

Zhou Shu asked Chen Zizai again: "Can my cousin grow tea?"

Chen Zi was a little embarrassed, and said: "I often listen to my uncle talking about tea planting, and I don't dare to say it, but I understand it."

Zhou Shu finally looked at his father.

Zhou Yuanwai met her gaze, gave her a comforting look, and then asked Chen Zizai: "This matter is your aunt's own initiative, and she didn't explain the situation to you before calling you here. I think you are a little embarrassed now." .In order not to embarrass you, just treat this matter as your aunt's random nonsense, don't take it to heart, concentrate on studying, and get a good reputation as soon as possible."

Chen Zizai's expression froze for a moment, then he put on that elegant smile again, and said, "Uncle, I understand."

But Mrs. Chen didn't buy it, and said: "What nonsense? I called Brother An, and now I have told him about it. If you call him back, how can he save his face? I also became silent in my mother's house." Believers!"

Zhou Shu didn't want to watch his parents quarreling, so he took a step back and said, "It's spring tea picking, and there are many things to do in the tea garden. If my cousin is free, I will take my cousin to the tea garden to help some other day. What do you think brother?"

Chen Zizai declined and said, "I am determined to study..."

Mrs. Chen stared at him, and he added: "But since Niang Yan needs help, it is my duty to do so."

Only then did Chen nodded in satisfaction, then turned to the girl and said: "Jiaoniang, you also stay here, let Yanniang learn more with you, learn how to be a female celebrity, and learn how to play chess."

Chen Jianjiao complied obediently, and when Mrs. Chen and Mr. Zhou left, she stuck out her tongue and said, "I can learn from sister."

Zhou Shu smiled, and his attitude towards her did not change: "My mother is right, in these respects, I am indeed not as good as you."

Chen Jianjiao seemed to have thought of something, the smile on his face faded, and he muttered: "I don't want to learn this either, I know, Dad asked me to learn this just to—"

Chen Zizai at the side scolded his younger sister, "Jiaoniang, don't be so rude!"

Chen Jianjiao's words stopped abruptly, Zhou Shu took a deep look at Chen Zizai, slightly surprised: "Why is my cousin still here?"

Chen Zizai: "..."

"Look at my memory, I forgot that my cousin has no place to stay when he came here. I'm going to ask Li Guanshi to arrange a place for my cousin."

Chen Zizai said politely, "Thank you Yanniang."

Zhou Shu paused as he left, and then said, "Cousin can just call me 'cousin' in private, you don't have to be so polite!"

"Yanniang" is Zhou Shu's nickname, no matter how you look at it, calling "Yanniang" is closer than calling him "cousin", Zhou Shu obviously doesn't want to be so close to Chen Zizai.

Chen Zizai heard it naturally, and it wasn't the first time Zhou Shu said this to him, so he changed his words again: "Okay, cousin."

Chen Zizai and Chen Jianjiao stayed at Zhou's house. Two days later, under Chen's urging, Zhou Shu took Chen Zizai to Zhou's tea garden.

Before going out, she saw Chen Zizai wearing a clean white shirt, thought about it, and persuaded: "It's better for cousin to change into an old one."

Chen Zizai didn't understand, so he said, "How can a person who reads be disheveled?"

Zhou Shu didn't try to persuade her any more, but told Chen Jianjiao, who was going to join in the fun, to get into the carriage and headed for Chuting Township.

-

Chen Zizai regretted not listening to Zhou Shu's advice and changing into old clothes, but rather than regretting, he didn't understand and complained why Zhou Shu asked him to do these rough jobs.

He thought that the "help" that Zhou Shu said was to teach him how to manage the tea garden for a living, but after Zhou Shu brought him here, he let him pick tea in the tea garden like all the hired workers.

This work is tiring and hard. If the posture of picking tea is wrong, he will be scolded by the experienced tea picker, which makes him feel ashamed and tired.

But he couldn't refuse to do this hard work, because after Zhou Shu showed him the skillful tea-picking technique, he said: "I followed my father to the tea garden to pick tea since I was four years old. Only by knowing everything about tea can one be called a qualified tea merchant.”

Chen Zizai swallowed all the words of refusal in a daze, and then became more regretful and distressed amidst the scolding from the tenants of the tea-picking house.

After finally catching the opportunity, he avoided it first on the pretext of going to the toilet.

The others looked at his leaving back and asked the tea-picker: "That's the lady's cousin. If you scold him like that, aren't you afraid that he will retaliate against you in the future?"

The tea picker said disdainfully: "As far as his face is concerned, I don't think he is a good person. Also, the owner of the Zhou family is the boss. Even if the boss is gone one day, there will still be a young lady. As long as we can do it well." , the little lady will treat us generously, what am I afraid of?"

"I heard that the little lady was his childhood sweetheart, and when he marries the little lady in the future, he will be able to take charge of the Zhou family."

The tea-picker said stubbornly: "Then wait until he is really in charge of the Zhou family!"

Everyone gave him a thumbs up for his toughness, but when they saw Chen Zizai coming back, they dispersed again.

-

While Chen Zizai was working hard to learn how to pick tea, Zhou Shu was inspecting the tea-making workshop. Chen Jianjiao watched for a while and felt a little bored, so she planned to take a stroll in the nearby villages.

Zhou Shu saw that there was no one here, and all the tea masters were able to complete the process well, so he went with her.

As the two approached the village, they suddenly saw something flying in the blue sky.Taking a closer look, Chen Jianjiao exclaimed excitedly, "Sister, it's a paper kite!"

Zhou Shu also saw four or five paper harriers flying near or far in the air, some in the shape of birds, some square, and some in the shape of butterflies. They were colorful, and the paper harriers were also lively and interesting.

Chen Jianjiao pulled Zhou Shu to follow the direction, Zhou Shu felt more and more familiar with the surrounding scenery, and when she saw the plaque of "Liberty Garden of Vitality", she finally knew who was flying the kite kite.

Sure enough, in the open space of Qi's house, a large group of children gathered together to control the paper harriers in the sky with the strings in their hands, comparing each other, or immersed in the joy of flying paper harriers.

Among them are several older children, and there is also a tall figure who stands out from the crowd.

The author has something to say:

Both zhi harrier and zhi kite are kites, but in the south we say zhi harrier and in the north we say zhi kite.
