Chu Keren bought white cotton and planned to make small underwear when she went home. However, the small underwear was too small and uncomfortable to wear every day.

After buying the cotton cloth, Chu Keren left and went to the vegetable market again, where he bought potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn kernels.

I bought two kilograms of each kind and planned to go back to make seeds and store them in the mansion after leaving.

When the Chu Ke people returned home, they found grain seeds in the warehouse, which were full of rice. They also found pumpkin seeds, cucumber seeds and loofah seeds.

The Chu Ke people did not dare to take more, so they only took a part of it. Then they went back to the mansion, brought all the seeds into the house, and began to sow seeds with their thoughts.

Potatoes and sweet potatoes can be sown in open fields. To save money, Chuker people just plant them in small pieces, and the rest can be planted directly in the soil.

There are ditches next to the land. Rice does not need to be watered, but everything else must be watered.

Fortunately, everything can be done with thoughts. Chu Keren drinks well water after finishing his work, but he feels overdrawn.

After drinking the well water, Chu Keren immediately regained his energy. He left the mansion and took the vegetables picked last night to the kitchen to prepare meals.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Chu Keren asked.

"It's me, Chu Zhong." The man's voice sounded.

"Brother, come in." Chu Keren opened the door and said.

"Little sister, why is the door closed?" Chu Zhong asked in confusion.

"I just met a psychopath and asked me if I liked him, so I locked the door." Chu Keren made this excuse and said.

"I'm buying you leather shoes. You and your sister-in-law will each have a pair." Chu Zhong smiled silly.

"Thank you, brother. I like it very much. Let's have a drink of water." After saying that, he poured a cup of well water to Chu Zhong.

Chu Zhong happened to be thirsty, drank two glasses of water in a row, and then went home directly.

However, as soon as I got home, I smelled the stench on my body. I took a shower without thinking too much. A layer of black mud appeared on my body. It took me three times to wash it off. I felt much lighter all over.

Chu Zhong didn't have the slightest doubt. This man was usually weak and didn't care about anything except his wife and little sister. He had been a girl-controller since he was a child and never refused the little sister's request.

Therefore, Chu Ke will give Chu Zhong a drink of water. This eldest brother is very kind to the master, and he can be considered as repaying the favor.

Chu Keren made fried pork with chili pepper, vegetables and egg custard.

There were many eggs in the mansion, but Chu Ke people did not dare to eat them randomly. They buried all the eggs and put them in the ground as fertilizer. They also plowed the ground several times.

I have been able to pick up eggs and eat them since the beginning of the day. I didn't see any animal carcasses. Could it be that they were dismembered by the animals?

No matter, kill the old hens first, there are a lot of hens anyway, and then kill the roosters after two days, there are a lot of roosters anyway.

There was a sound of opening the door. Chu Keren went to the living room with dishes, and then went to the kitchen to serve rice.

"Keren, is your elder brother here today?" Zhang Lan asked

Yes! Come and give me some leather shoes. Brother is so kind to me." Chu Keren said with a smile.

Zhang Lan was very angry in her heart, but she was very happy on her face. She gritted her teeth and asked, "Besides small leather shoes, you didn't bring me anything else?"

"No, I only brought small leather shoes." Chu Keren told the truth.

Zhang Lan drank a glass of well water angrily. Chu Keren had already refilled his cup just now, and Chu Guodong also drank a glass.

After lunch, both husband and wife took a shower, and they both smelled.

After taking a shower, the two of them felt relaxed and went back to the room to take a nap.

Chu Keren also went back to his room to take a nap. He felt very tired after a long day and his body had not recovered yet.

In the afternoon, my parents went to the farm.

Chu Ke went to the village to exchange seeds and bought candies in exchange for others. The aunts went home to get the seeds and exchanged candies for their children.

"Don't tell my mother about this, otherwise I will definitely get beaten." Chu Keren said pitifully.

"Don't worry, we are all keeping secret." An aunt said.

In the evening, Chu Keren cooked chicken soup and gave a bowl to his eldest brother. His eldest sister-in-law was not angry and ran home with the empty bowl. Her parents had already returned.

Keren, did you buy chicken soup this afternoon?" Zhang Lan asked.

"Mom, I bought it with New Year's money, and I also gave a bowl to my elder brother." Chu Ke said with a guilty conscience.

"Next time you want to eat, ask mom for money. You can keep the money and spend it yourself." Zhang Lan dotes on her daughter so much that it hurts like a ball in her eyes.

"Mom and Dad, this is my filial piety to you, and of course it costs me my own money." Chu Keren insisted.

"Our daughter has grown up, and her pain has been in vain since she was a child." Chu Guodong said with a smile.

The three of them were contentedly drinking chicken soup. A few educated youths walked in outside the door. When they saw the bowl of chicken soup on the table, they all swallowed their saliva unconsciously.

"Captain, we are going to the city for leave today. Could you please give me a few letters of introduction?" Wang Hao said, neither humble nor overbearing.

"What are you doing in the city? You have to come back on time." Chu Guodong was not happy and wanted to get the letter of introduction.

Zhang Lan and Chu Keren continued to have dinner. Neither mother nor daughter looked at these educated youths.

Several educated youths left unwillingly, talking about the captain's family as they walked.

"The food at the captain's house is really good, and Chu Ke's hair is white and tender." Song Ci, a male educated youth, said.

Song Ci was from Sushi City, his family conditions were average, he was fair-skinned, and he also liked Chu Ke.

"The captain used to be the head of the regiment. He will definitely have a lot of retirement allowances. His sons are all married and starting a business, so the family conditions are naturally not bad." Huang Ying, a female educated youth, said.
