"Yes. This is all thanks to shopkeeper Yang. He saw that I was slow in cutting the branches, so he snatched the knife from my hand and started cutting them. His speed was so fast, so there was such a pile. Shopkeeper Yang is still peeling in the backyard, I will come back and give you a bunch later." Shen Chen said with a smile.

"No, no need. These are enough, that's enough." Haoyue opened her mouth wide and said blankly.

"I'll put Haoyue here for you. I'll go to work first." Shen Chen said and put all the branches in his arms at Haoyue's feet.

"Yeah." Haoyue still responded blankly.

Shen Chen smiled at Haoyue again and turned around to go to the backyard.

"What? Enough?" Yang Qianzhan asked loudly after receiving Shen Chen's instructions.

"Yeah. Haoyue said there's no need to cut anymore, that's enough." Shen Chen didn't realize anything was wrong at all.

Yang Qianzhan looked at him and lowered his head again, continuing to cut.

"That's okay. I'll cut some more for her to use next time. It will take a long time for her to use it up, so you can save some trouble."

"Shopkeeper Yang is so nice." Shen Chen smiled sweetly. He didn't expect that Shopkeeper Yang, who was only a few years older than himself, was so nice. I had really misunderstood him before.

"Of course. You go and do your work quickly. You won't be allowed to go home until you finish the work." Yang Qianzhan kept his men busy and said in a hurry.

He would never tell Shen Chen that he was just addicted to sharpening and hadn't used a knife to do such delicate work for a long time, so he couldn't stop for a while.

"Yeah." Shen Chen didn't take Yang Qianzhan's scare seriously at all. He had already concluded that Yang Qianzhan was a good person.

In the wing room on the second floor, Haoyue closed the door blankly.

Looking at a pile of sharpened branches on the ground, he said, "Why are his hands so fast? He couldn't have been a pig butcher before."

"Ahem." Hua Fengchen, who had always been unfazed by favors and insults, couldn't help laughing when he heard that his friend was suspected of being a pig butcher.

Haoyue turned to look at Hua Fengchen in confusion.

"Ahem. Qian Zan has only been good at carving wood since he was a child. He also knows how to use a sword, so he can use the knife at an average speed. Besides, your cutting of branches is nothing to him. Wherever technology is needed, it can be easily grasped." Hua Fengchen kindly explained it to his friend.

"Oh, that's it." After clearing up his doubts, Haoyue no longer thought about Yang Qianzhan cutting the branches.

Instead, he looked at the pile of branches on the ground and laughed.

"Shopkeeper Hua~." Haoyue showed a sweet smile, looked at Hua Fengchen, and shouted in a sweet voice.

Even Hua Fengchen couldn't help but tremble all over. No one had ever dared to talk to him like this.

"Shopkeeper Hua~, I want to borrow your brazier, okay~." Haoyue said as she walked towards Hua Fengchen with small steps.

I completely forgot that my body is still a child, and how funny it is to do such an action.

Hua Fengchen couldn't help but shiver again, waved his hand, motioning for Haoyue to get it quickly, and pulled the blanket at hand to cover himself.

Haoyue smiled even bigger, ran over and picked up the brazier.

He half-crouched towards Hua Fengchen and performed the etiquette of the Qing Dynasty. He continued in a tone that would kill someone and said, "Thank you, Shopkeeper Hua~"

Satisfied, Hua Fengchen, who was covered with a blanket, shook again and smiled evilly.

He walked to the table with the brazier in hand, got a handful of branches, and started burning them bit by bit.

Due to limited time, Haoyue could not burn a lot at one time, so he took a few sticks in one hand and started burning them at the same time.

Seeing the faint smoke floating in front of her, Haoyue began to wander again.

"Hey, by the way. Shopkeeper Hua, do you know of any way to connect the papers together?"

Haoyue was walking slowly and suddenly remembered the calendar at home and asked.

"Connect them together? Do you mean to bind them together?" Hua Fengchen finally stopped trembling when he heard her normal voice.

"Yes. What can you do?" Haoyue turned her head, looked at Hua Fengchen seriously, and asked.

"Have you seen those books?" Hua Fengchen also looked into Haoyue's eyes.

"Yeah!" Haoyue nodded vigorously.

"Then do you know how to do it?" After talking for a long time, Hua Fengchen thought that Haoyue was asking an idiot question.

Haoyue curled her lips, "Those books are sewn with thread. Such a thin piece of paper is not broken when a needle goes through it! Who knows who can sew these books? I can't sew them together anyway."

"

Hua Fengchen was speechless and wanted to tell her to press the pile of paper tightly and pass it through with a quick needle.

"Hey, do you know anything that can be used to glue the paper on?" If the way to seal it doesn't work, just use glue.

"It's paste." Hua Fengchen replied matter-of-factly.

"You're the one who's confused! Eh, paste? That's right!"

Haoyue thought Hua Fengchen was scolding her at first, so she retorted without thinking. Later she realized that he was answering her question.

Hua Fengchen had nothing to say. Why did he feel that it was a bit difficult to talk to Haoyue.

"Your branches are going to burn out." Even though it was a bit difficult to communicate, Hua Fengchen still reminded him kindly.

"ah!"

Haoyue, who was lost in thought, turned back to look at the branches in her hands. When she saw that there were only a few branches left in the handful, she felt extremely sad.

Why did I burn it for so long, but I over-burned it and it was all in vain!

"If you don't take it away, I think your hands will be roasted in a while." Hua Fengchen would never admit that his words were out of revenge against Haoyue.

"Ah!" screamed again. Haoyue, who was afraid that his hands would be cooked, quickly threw away the things in his hands and stood up.

"Ah!" screamed again. Looking at the empty hands and the basin of charcoal ash, Haoyue really wanted to cry without tears.

"It's over, all the hard work was in vain." Haoyue said regretfully to herself.

Suddenly remembering something, he turned around and glared at Hua Fengchen, "It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, I would still have a small piece of my body!"

Hua Fengchen was speechless again. He kindly reminded Lu Dongbin that a dog bit him.

"Sigh." Haoyue, who didn't get any response, could only sigh and sit on the chair.

Looking at the candlelight and account books in front of me, my heart was full of bitterness.

When will this come to an end? Why is my life so miserable? Why do I end up like a "Zhou Papi"!

Hua Fengchen looked at Haoyue, who had a sad face and said nothing, and opened his mouth to say a few words of comfort.

However, "Yes!" Haoyue suddenly stood up, no longer as decadent as before, his eyes lit up again, and he shouted loudly.

"What?" Hua Fengchen didn't understand what made Haoyue recover at once.

"Hehehehe." Haoyue turned around, her eyes seemed to be glowing, and looked at Hua Fengchen with a sly smile.

Hua Fengchen couldn't help but shiver again, how could he feel that something was going to happen.

"Shopkeeper Hua~, you said, you lost someone's charcoal pen, should you pay it to them?" Haoyue asked angrily.
