Picking Up a General to Plow the Fields

lared at him and smiled: “He’s really your good apprentice!”

He smiled complacently, “This is just his talent and temperament.
Besides, he likes me so you can rest assured!”

Helpless, Lian Fang Zhou smiled at him, her expression full of warmth.

No matter how small or insignificant, he always considered her thoughts and feelings.

Indeed, Lian Ze was older than Lian Che and Lian Fang Qing.
If he was unwilling to accept Ah Jian, even if she insisted on being with him, this would always be a knot in her heart.

Lian Ze’s blessing basically represented the attitude of the three siblings.

–

The two went up the mountain and knocked on the door of the wood house.
Sun Chang Xing and Madam Sun were not at home, only Sun Ming and Lian Che.

When Sun Ming’s eyes fell on Ah Jian, he paused unconsciously and their gazes met.
Stunned, Sun Ming immediately understood.

Men were sensitive, especially to rivals in love.
They only needed a look and they could understand each other tacitly.

Sun Ming smiled at Ah Jian and turned to look at Lian Fang Zhou without a change in expression.
He finally understood why she had rejected him.

It turned out to be because of Ah Jian.

Before, there was still a tiny sliver, one thousandth of a hope, but now there was nothing.

He knew he couldn’t complete with Ah Jian, just by instinct.

But that was fine.
She had good taste and if he had to entrust her to someone, he could feel at ease this way.

He was an open-minded person and his blessings were sincere.
He was a little jealous but he was unwilling to be angry, so he wouldn’t do anything.

Lian Fang Zhou treated him as calmly and politely as always, greeting him with a smile.
She was about to ask were Lian Che was when her brother heard the noise and came out of his room.

“Eldest Sister! Brother Ah Jian!” Lian Che’s eyes lit up and he rushed straight to Lian Fan Zhou, rubbing his eyes.
“Why are you here? Did you come to tell me to come back? I don’t want to go! Eldest Sister, it’s going to be the fourth month soon!”

He blinked innocently: “Eldest Sister, I will work very hard! I will never disappoint my sister!”

Sun Ming didn’t understand but Lian Fang Zhou and Ah Jian knew the meaning behind this.

Feeling sour in her heart, Lian Fang Zhou silently cried: This kid is so sensible!

“Little idiot,” Lian Fang Zhou said affectionately, “your eldest sister knows that you are the best! I would never be disappointed! You can’t study all day, you need time to relax and adjust your mental state at the right times.  It’s still early and we will only be gone for four or five days, it won’t delay you!”

But Lian Che still stubbornly shook his head: “But I don’t want to go! Eldest Sister, when I’m tired of reading, I go for walks on the mountain side to relax.
It’s good to refresh your mind without distractions.”

Then he smiled at Lian Fang Zhou: “Eldest Sister, go have fun! I will go with you next year, okay?”

“…” Lian Fang Zhou silently moved her lips, speechless.

This little guy really was too stubborn!

Wasn’t he putting too much pressure on himself? Otherwise, how could a child be so stubborn? Studying was not an easy task, not many children liked it!

Lian Fang Zhou felt that she should reflect on this after she went back.

But what she didn’t know was that, in the end, Lian Che was still a child.
After she told him the exciting news about Master Ding, she had warned him to keep it a secret.

However, after spending so much time with Sun Ming, he felt that Brother Sun was a good person who could be trusted.
Finally, one day, he couldn’t hold himself back and told him.

Hearing this, Sun Ming was both surprised and happy for him and greatly encouraged him.
This was a rare and glorious opportunity, so he must seize it!

Sun Ming was in the same boat as Lian Che, so his opinion was more professional than Lian Fang Zhou!

Thus, Lian Che was greatly stimulated and secretly made up his mind: Only success, never failure!
