Chu Heng walked over and sat beside her.
There was already a bowl of food in front of him.
“What is this?” Chu Heng picked up the spoon and took a sip. There were many ingredients inside, including radishes, lettuce, cauliflower, potatoes, meatballs, tofu, and so on.
They were all ordinary dishes, but the soup base alone tasted very good.
“It’s just a vegetable dish cooked in thick soup. I haven’t named it yet.” Ye Muyu pushed the question back.
She picked up a piece of radish and took a bite. “It’s quite tasty. Not bad.”
“Mother made this fresh food because of the radish bone soup she ate at Grandma’s place yesterday. Father, Mother said it was to reward me for getting into the top 100.” Chu Ziluo sounded delighted. If there were outsiders around, she would have started to show off her mother’s cooking skills. However, she felt a little uneasy at the end of her sentence. She wondered if her father would think that her grades were too low.
This was because her father had very high expectations for her and her younger brother.
Chu Heng looked at her and said, “Not bad. Father also brought you a gift.
Consider it a reward for your hard work in this competition.”
“Really?” Chu Ziluo’s eyes widened in surprise and she could not help but sit up straight. She could not hide the surprise in her eyes and her fingers curled unconsciously because of her happiness.
“Yeah.” Chu Heng nodded.
“Thank you, Father!” Chu Ziluo was so happy that she drank a few mouthfuls of soup. She could not stop herself from giggling.
Chu Jin was completely engrossed in eating the Oden and did not care about the gift at all.
To him, it was already a happy thing that his father did not punish him.
He was very confident and naturally would not be moved by a single sentence.
Instead, he talked about Zhuge Lock. “Father, the Zhuge Locks have earned us a lot of money. When I came back in the afternoon, Uncle Chu Xing was already back. The Zhuge Locks that I brought today was sold out again.”
“From tomorrow onward, Uncle Chu Xing will be going to other counties to sell them. Can I come back at night to finish writing, memorize the book, and draw on three Zhuge Locks?” Chu Jin did some calculations. If he painted three
Locks. he would be able to earn 60 conner coins a day He was satisfied
with 60 copper coins if he could buy a steamed bun for one coin and a meat bun for two coins.
Chu Heng did not answer him immediately. He tilted his head and asked Ye Muyu about the Zhuge Locks.
Ye Muyu said, “Ah Xing set the rules. If Lil’ Jin helps to draw the patterns on Zhuge Locks, he’ll get 20 copper coins for each one. Lil’ Jin has been helping him draw these past two days. These are the copper coins he earned himself, so I won’t take the
This meant that the money from selling Zhuge Locks would not be given to Chu Jin for the time being.
Chu Heng understood her words and understood Ye Muyu’s intentions, so he naturally would not object.
“Father, is that okay?” Chu Jin looked at him and asked.
Chu Heng looked up at him. “You will start studying tomorrow. You only have two hours of free time every day. You have to keep your word. If you can draw three in two hours, do it. If you can’t do it, you will be breaking your promise. It’s not a gentleman’s behavior.”
Chu Jin instantly hesitated. He had been personally disciplined by Chu Heng for the past month, and Ye Muyu was no longer indulging him.
He became more and more sensible.
“Father, let me try. If it doesn’t work, I’ll reduce the amount.” Chu Jin thought for a while and said seriously.
“Sure,” Chu Heng replied.
After Chu Jin finished his business, he started to eat the Oden again. He had only been talking earlier and had not eaten much..
