Chapter 384: Please

"Okay, let's go back." Chu Ziluo nodded.

As they were about to leave, they saw Master Lin walking out of the school, his clothes in disarray and his hair all messy. He seemed completely unconcerned about his appearance.

Approaching Chu Ziluo and Chu Jin, he politely asked, "Ziluo, Xiao Jin, Master Lin is a bit busy right now. I'd like to trouble you to take care of Chong Jin for a while. It's already noon and I'm sure the lunchtime has passed by the time I finish my work."

"Here are some grains and silver coins. Please ask your mother to take care of Chong Jin for me. Master Lin will personally come to thank you tonight." Master Lin placed vegetables and a money pouch into Zhang Cong's arms.

After saying that, he wanted to give further instructions but was caught by the villagers who had learned of the news.

Seeing Master Lin desperately explaining to the villagers, who weren't listening and directly pulling him back into the school building, he disappeared from sight in just a few moments.

Zhang Cong looked at the package in his hands and then at Chong Jin, who was completely unresponsive. He lowered his head and asked, "Miss, Young Master, what should we do?"

"Big brother, do you want to come to our house for a meal? My mother cooks delicious food. It's the best in the village." Chu Ziluo, respecting people's preferences, directly asked Chong Jin for his opinion.

Chu Jin, seeing his sister ask, felt relieved and continued to eat peanuts, occasionally glancing at Chong Jin but not paying much attention.

Chong Jin looked at the bag of rice in Zhang Cong's arms.

He spoke, "Trouble you."

"Oh, you agreed?" Chu Ziluo was surprised for a moment, then smiled brightly after realizing, "Little brother, let's go. I bet my mother has prepared lunch by now."

Chu Jin, belatedly remembering, asked, "Sis, where did these peanuts come from?"

"Grandma gave them."

"Let's ask Mom to cook some when we get back." Chu Jin said in a low voice.

The five children walked home together.

The school was not far from the Chu family's house, and it was lunchtime. Almost no one was in the fields, and with the news of Master Lin leaving, many parents had gone to the school to inquire making it even quieter.

In the kitchen, Ye Muyu and Hu Shi had already made fifteen jars of honey pomelo tea. Once they confirmed that the taste was good, subsequent batches were much simpler to make, just boil and jar them together.

After washing the pot, Hu Shi was preparing lunch.

At the door, Chu Jin and the others returned.

Zhang Shu was feeding grass to the ox and mule in the yard. Hearing the knock on the door, he quickly walked over to open it.

Seeing Chu Jin, he hurriedly said, "Young Master, Miss, you're back. Madam is in the kitchen. Today, she made some fresh tea, so lunch will be a bit late."

Chu Heng didn't come home for lunch, taking his meal with him.

"Uncle Zhang, this is Chong Jin, Master Lin's nephew." Chu Ziluo introduced Lin Chong Jin to Zhang Shu.

Zhang Shu saw Chong Jin wearing monk robes and a bald head but no branding scar on his head. He quickly thought of the village affairs, wondering if this child, who came down from the mountain, was also a relative of Master Lin's? Why had he already been tonsured?

Although puzzled, Zhang Shu didn't ask more.

Smiling, he nodded, "Hello, my name is Zhang Shu. I am a servant of the Chu family. You can call me Uncle Zhang."

Chong Jin's hands, holding the Buddhist beads, paused for a moment, then nodded and bowed to Zhang Shu "Greetings, Uncle Zhang."

"No need to be polite. Come in quickly."

After all, he was a guest and Zhang Shu naturally didn't dare to neglect him.

The five children entered the yard, and Ye Muyu saw them from the kitchen window.
