The twins also secretly make faces with them.
The interaction between the four children caught Zhou Ran's attention.
He asked curiously: "Don't the two young ladies in Mrs. Shen's family go to school?"
The twins' eyes lit up when they heard this.
Su Tai glanced at the two children strangely, and slowly explained: "They have finished learning the Hundred Family Surnames and the Three-Character Classic, and they will have private lessons with Mr. Chu every evening."
Zhou Ran suddenly realized, "That's it."
The twins waited for a long time and couldn't help but be disappointed.
Mrs. Ye saw the reactions of the two little guys and snickered secretly.
Seeing that the children couldn't sit still, Su Tai said: "You can take the little guests to play."
The twins were so happy that they immediately left the desk and ran to the stove, each pulling the other.
"What are your names?" Shen Congyu asked.
"My name is Zhou Yi. I am eight years old this year. This is my sister Zhou Xue. She is six years old. What about you?" Zhou Yi is taller than the twins and feels that he should be older than them.
Shen Congyu and Shen Yue'an looked at each other, smiled, and said loudly: "We are seven years old! Brother Zhou Yi, let's go! We will take you to eat delicious food!"
Ye and Zhou Ran sat for a while and were about to leave. They found that the yard was quiet and there was no movement at all. They were very puzzled.
Su Tai smiled and said: "It's probably in the kitchen house. I'll go and have a look."
The couple followed closely behind, and sure enough they saw their two children sitting at the square table in the kitchen room. The table was filled with all kinds of food, which the couple had never seen before.
"Yi'er, Xue'er! How can you be so presumptuous in the master's house?" Zhou Ran's face changed.
The brother and sister were so frightened that they quickly put down their things and stood aside.
Shen Congyu hurriedly defended them, "We entertained brother Zhou Yi and sister Zhou Xue, and we invited them to eat."
"This" Zhou Ran frowned.
Su Tai smiled and nodded to the couple, "Children have their own social life, and adults don't need to get involved. These snacks were originally prepared for them, and they can arrange them as they wish.
It just so happens that I will take you to see the sheepfold and cowshed at home. ”
On the other side, you have to go through the small door behind the kitchen house. When the couple entered, they found that the sheep pen and cowshed were ridiculously large. There were probably hundreds of sheep and dozens of cows inside.
Su Tai said: "That is the gate of the sheepfold and the cowshed. Every day, someone will come to process and slaughter a few cows and sheep. You can come here at that time to get milk, either goat milk or cow's milk. The excess milk will also be given to the village. The elderly and children may be sent to other villages, but our family can’t finish it.”
"Mrs. Shen, won't you sell it?" Ye asked, expressing her confusion.
Su Tai shook her head and said, "We don't have enough manpower and we are really busy with the work, so there is no need."
The couple nodded in understanding.
After leaving the sheepfold and cowshed, I found that my two children had finished eating and were helping the twins clear away the tables, chairs and dishes. Their expressions instantly relaxed a lot.
The twins were very reluctant to see Zhou Yi and Zhou Xue leaving.
"When will you come to my house again?" Shen Yue'an held Zhou Xue's hand, wanting to keep her here.
Zhou Xue looked at Ye.
Ye said, "As long as Xueer doesn't have class, you can come over and play."
Shen Yue'an pouted, "Xi'er has to go to school, and you also have to go to school. No one has time to play with us."
Seeing the pitiful looks of the two of them, Zhou Ran felt distressed immediately. He turned around and bowed to Su Tai and said, "Mrs. Shen, if the two young ladies are free, they can go to school. I'm not talented. I have studied for a few more years. You can give them some guidance.”
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou, I will consider it." Su Tai personally sent the family out.
Glancing back at the guilty twins, although their faces were calm, they were smiling in their hearts. If they were to find any external help at every opportunity, there would probably be no one left.
When the Zhou brothers and sisters returned home, Zhou's mother hugged her granddaughter and asked about the situation of the Su family.
Zhou Xue gestured excitedly: "Sister Yue'an has a lot of delicious snacks at home. Sister Yue'an said they were durian scones, barbecue, red bean cakes, and mung bean cakes. We also drank milk tea. Grandma looked at my belly. Round.”
Mother Zhou reached out to touch her granddaughter's belly in cooperation, and said exaggeratedly: "Hey! It's really rounded into a ball. Your mother made braised pork for lunch today. What should we do, Xue'er, if we can't eat it?"
< br>
"You can eat it, you can eat it!" Zhou Xue was anxious and quickly looked at Zhou Yi, "Brother, I can still eat it, right?"
The three adults burst into laughter.
Mrs. Ye asked funnyly: "Do you like the second young master and second young lady of Mr. Shen's family?"
The brother and sister nodded in unison and replied in unison: "I like it!"
Ye's smile deepened.
In the blink of an eye, the family has been staying in Shenjiazhuang for two months and has completely adapted to the rhythm of life in the village.
It's strawberry harvest season.
All the old people and children in the village go to the back mountains to pick strawberries. In addition to picking strawberries, men and women also have to work in the workshops.
Chu Heng invited Zhou Ran to participate in farming.
Zhou Ran took his wife, children and mother with him.
When we arrived at the back mountain, the rich aroma of strawberries was refreshing. After tasting the strawberries, the whole family of five was convinced.
Zhou Ran also specially composed a poem for strawberry. Looking back, Chu Heng had already rolled up his sleeves and started drying.
Brother Zhou Yi and his sister also ran up the hillside carrying a small basket. On the way, they heard the calls of Shen Congyu and Shen Yue'an, and the brother and sister immediately changed direction.
Ye was a little worried at first, but seeing that there were all children there, she didn't care.
Shen Congyu called the person over and immediately murmured to the other friends, "My mother said that she will give us two cents for every pound of strawberries we pick today. It's the same for everyone. Do you want to make money together?"
The Zhou brothers and sisters, who had never made money on their own, were shocked, "Can we do it too?"
"A must!"
After receiving an affirmative answer, the brother and sister nodded heavily.
Shen Yuezhang and Shen Congrong reminded: "You must pick completely red strawberries, and you must not crush them. If you fail the inspection, you will not be paid."
"Got it!" the children yelled at the top of their lungs.
He works more seriously than adults.
Zhou Ran followed and picked a basket. When he got up, he saw the children working hard. He was a little surprised. "I didn't expect them to be so serious about farm work. They will become great talents in the future!"
Chu Heng frowned slightly, touched his chin and fell into deep thought, "Why don't I feel something is right! I'll ask you later."
Everyone was busy until evening. When they were counting, Zhou Ran and Chu Heng picked more strawberries than even children, and their faces turned red with shame.
When he got home, Zhou Ran felt ashamed to see his children, but he heard the two children say happily: "We helped Mrs. Shen and made eighty yuan today."
"What's going on?" Zhou Ran leaned over and his eyes widened when he saw the money bag on the table.
Zhou Yi looked arrogant, "Mrs. Shen asked us to help, and we were given two cents for picking one pound. My sister and I picked forty catties together, which is eighty cents. Dad, can we keep the money for ourselves?"
"What do you want money for?" Ms. Ye frowned slightly, wondering what the fuss between the two children was about. (End of chapter)
