Ye Muyu was not worried. After all, she could still eat them if she could not finish planting them. If she could not finish eating them, she could sell them. She was not worried about buying too much.
“Alright.” Chu Heng’s eyes flashed with a smile. He nodded and tilted his head to signal Lu Chuan to take note of it.
After the two of them finished talking, Madam Hu called them for dinner.
Chu Heng went to wash his hands in the basin outside the kitchen and called the children.
Lin Zhongjin looked outside the courtyard and saw that his uncle had not come. He was a little puzzled and hesitated for a moment. Then, Chu Ziluo quickly pulled him to the kitchen to wash his hands.
He thought for a moment but did not say anything. He waited quietly for his uncle to come and pick him up. Then, he washed his hands and ate with Chu Ziluo.
Ye Muyu went into the kitchen to help with the dishes. Just as she was about to serve the dishes, Teacher Lin arrived.
Chu Heng had just finished washing his hands when it was Zhang Shu’s turn.
When he heard the knock on the door, he did not wait for Zhang Shu to open the door. He walked straight to the courtyard door and opened it. He saw Teacher Lin standing at the door with a pastry box in his hand.
“Scholar Chu, sorry to disturb you. I’m here to pick up Zhongjin.” When Teacher Lin saw Chu Heng, he had a gentle smile on his face. He handed the pastry in his hand to him. “This is an old man’s gift of thanks. I hope Scholar Chu doesn’t mind.”
“Teacher Lin, you’re welcome. It’s just dinner time. I don’t think you’ve eaten yet. Why don’t you come in and have a meal? By the way, we can talk about the village school in the future.” Chu Heng turned around and invited Teacher Lin in.
Teacher Lin was a little hesitant. He felt that he had already disturbed them enough. It was really embarrassing for him to stay for dinner.
“Teacher Lin, don’t be polite. It’s just an ordinary meal.”
Chu Heng had a polite smile on his face as he called Lu Chuan over to collect the pastries. Then, he and Teacher Lin walked toward the main room. Seeing that he did not mind, Master Lin thought about his next plan and decided to stay.
When he passed by the kitchen, he saw Lin Zhongjin standing at the side.
Master Lin had a warm smile on his face.
Lin Zhongjin nodded and walked over, entering the hall with Chu Heng and Master Lin.
The dishes in the central room were already laid out, and the fragrance of the dishes wafted from the dining table. Teacher Lin could tell at a glance that the food was definitely not bad. He had heard from many villagers that Ye Muyu could cook and that the family ate well.
However, now that he had seen it in person, he knew how good it was. Those who did not know better would think that it was bought directly from a restaurant.
However, when he saw that there were no less than three plates of meat dishes on the table, he understood after thinking for a while. The Chu family definitely would not eat so sumptuously every day. After all, Chu Heng still had to take the exam and spend money.
It was probably because he asked Zhongjin to come over.
This was their way of serving guests.
Teacher Lin instantly had a good impression of Chu Heng and his wife. As expected, he had not misjudged them.
“Teacher, sit.” Chu Heng invited Teacher Lin to sit beside him. When Lin Zhongjin saw him, he sat next to Teacher Lin.
Ye Muyu came in with the rice. Madam Hu was also carrying a jar of wine. She placed wine bowls in front of Chu Heng and Master Lin.
Teacher Lin quickly waved his hand. “I’m not drinking anymore. I’m afraid I won’t wake up tomorrow. I’ll delay the children’s lessons again.”
“Don’t worry,” Ye Muyu said with a smile. “This is osmanthus wine. It’s not strong. Try it.”
“Then… Alright then.” Master Lin could not refuse and only poured a little.
Chu Heng’s alcohol tolerance was not bad. At least Ye Muyu had never seen him drunk before, so she put the wine pot aside and let them pour themselves..
