“Master…” Bao Linjiang’s loud voice echoed, audible throughout the village.

Chu Qingzhi was picking people to make bread and biscuits in the old house.

Currently, the bread and biscuits were still in the trial sales stage. She was preparing in advance, planning to start the next step immediately when the situation became stable.

“Linjiang, at the old house.”

Bao Linjiang immediately walked over.

Yuan Hongjun followed closely behind.

Bao Linjiang said quickly, “Master, when did you come back?”

“In the afternoon.” After Chu Qingzhi answered, she asked with concern, “Why are you back so late?”

Bao Linjiang told Chu Qingzhi what happened in Fengxin County and said, “Master, Lin Yingmin is so strange. Why doesn’t he want us to treat him?” They were not very familiar with each other, so she definitely did not know. Chu Qingzhi said, “Did you tell him the location of my house?”

Bao Linjiang nodded. “Yes.”

“Then don’t worry about him. If he wants to be treated, he can come over himself.” Chu Qingzhi didn’t take it to heart. They were just strangers.

“Yeah.”

The sky gradually darkened, and the clouds were dyed dark. It was gradually impossible to see clearly in the distance. The villagers carried hoes back home one after another. The children who had been causing trouble for the entire day also returned home…

Li Qingyu made a table full of dishes. There were chicken, duck, fish, and everything. It was very sumptuous.

Everyone sat around the table.

Grandpa Chu took a big sip of beer and asked with concern, “Jinghong, when are you leaving this time?”

Tang Jinghong replied, “I’ll leave tomorrow morning.”

Grandpa Chu’s hand paused. “Why are you in such a hurry?”

Tang Jinghong nodded. “There are still many things waiting for me to deal with in the capital. I’ve already left for two days. If I don’t go back now, something might happen.”

Grandpa Chu said regretfully, “The Mid-Autumn Festival is the day after tomorrow. Can’t you leave after the Mid-Autumn Festival?”

Tang Jinghong was so busy that he forgot about the Mid-Autumn Festival. He said apologetically, “Grandpa, 1’11 spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with you next year.”

“Alright.” Grandpa Chu was a reasonable person. Considering that Tang Jinghong had a heavy responsibility, he didn’t say anything else. “Come, Jinghong, drink with me.”

Tang Jinghong quickly picked up the wine bowl with both hands. “Grandpa, cheers.”

“Cheers.” Grandpa Chu happily drank the beer.

Granny Chu smiled and said, “Jinghong, eat. Don’t just drink.”

Tang Jinghong smiled and replied, “Yes, Grandma.”

After dinner, Chu Qingzhi walked towards the old house. Suddenly, she heard many footsteps behind her.

Chu Qingzhi turned around and looked at everyone. “Why are you following me?”

“I’ll go make mooncakes with you.” There was a hint of shyness between Chu Qingyue’s gentle eyebrows.

Chu Qingyan said loudly, “Second Sister wants to make some mooncakes for her future husband. Coincidentally, Brother Jinghong is going to the capital, so she wanted to ask him to help bring the mooncakes to him.”

Chu Qingyue hurriedly covered Chu Qingyan’s mouth and felt even more embarrassed. “Who asked you to speak?”

Chu Qingning teased, “Second Sister, even if Qingyan didn’t say it, we would know.”

Chu Qingyue reached out and pinched Chu Qingning’s face. “If you continue to talk about me, I’ll talk about you too.”

“Second Sister, don’t.” Chu Qingning hurriedly dodged and hid behind Chu Qingzhi. She felt safe with her fifth sister.

Chu Qingzhi asked the others, “What about you?”

Shen Ruyue said, “I’ll make some mooncakes for Brother Shanwu as a festival gift.” The main reason was that she wanted to make some for Xuhua.

Chu Qingshuang said, “I’ll make some for Master and Senior Brother. It’s the holidays, so I have to send some gifts.”

Chu Qingyan said, “I’ll make some for Fifth Sister. Fifth Sister is my sister and my master. It’s been hard on her.”

Chu Qingzhi touched Chu Qingyan’s head. Just hearing these words made her happy. “It’s nothing.”

Chu Qingyan held Chu Qingzhi’s hand with both hands and looked at her gratefully. “Fifth Sister is my benefactor.”

Chu Qingning continued, “Fifth Sister is our benefactor.”

Wu Yaqing raised her hand. “I agree. If not for Qingzhi, 1 wouldn’t have known that my life could be so colorful.”

Chu Qingyue looked at Wu Yaqing. “Why are you here?”

Wu Yaqing’s eyes were filled with longing. “I want to make some mooncakes and send them back to my mother, grandfather, grandmother, and uncles.”

Yaqing had grown up. Chu Qingzhi said, “Then make more.”

Wu Yaqing nodded happily. “Yes.”

It was Ge Lihua’s turn. She pursed her lips and said, “I want to make some mooncakes to commemorate my family. Since everyone is here, you can teach me.”

Chu Qingyan said readily, “Everyone can teach you.”

Ge Lihua’s eyes were wet as she nodded gently. “Thank you.”

After speaking, everyone’s eyes were on Chu Qingning…

Chu Qingning’s expression immediately became unnatural. She stammered, “I… I want to make some for you.”

Everyone revealed suspicious expressions. It was obvious that she was not making mooncakes for them.

Chu Qingning’s expression became stiff under the gaze. She smiled dryly and quickly ran towards the old house.

There were all kinds of ingredients and tools for making mooncakes. After arriving at the old house, everyone got busy…

They were busy here. Tang Jinghong, Chu Xuhua, Chu Xujin, Chu Xuyuan, Chu Xuyao, and Li Zhangjie sat at the table and set up a chessboard.

Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang had gone to deal with the herbs and were not here.

Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao had been learning chess recently, so the two of them used their pocket money to buy a chessboard. They originally wanted to buy a guqin, but it was too expensive and they could not afford it.

Tang Jinghong knew how to play chess, but he didn’t teach and just watched quietly.

The other three were just watching… In the past half a year, Chu Xuhua and the others had already learnt how to read and did not need to go to class at night.

After a while, Grandpa Chu and Chu Rong also came over to watch.

Li Qingyu and Granny Chu went to the old house to help make mooncakes. The mooncakes they needed for the festival had not been prepared yet, so they had to make some as soon as possible. Other than eating, they would also send them as a gift. In short, they needed a lot.

While making mooncakes, Shen Ruyue talked about how Chu Xuhua tried to sell sausages, bread, sandwiches, and biscuits.

“Qingzhi, these four things are very easy to sell. Several people have already expressed their desire to order more. What do you think we should do next?”

Chu Qingzhi said, “Only accept small orders first. After we’re confident, we’ll build a workshop on a large scale. Don’t be anxious, or we might lose money. We don’t lack money now. Don’t be radical and expand our business steadily.”

This was what Shen Ruyue thought. “Qingzhi, I know what to do.”

Chu Qingzhi thought for a moment and said, “Ruyue, I’m often away. You can handle the business at home. Don’t be afraid of making a mistake. If you make a mistake, just correct it. No one will blame you..”
