Chapter 273 Does Miss Xiaoxi Suspect Me?

Gu Xiaoxi opened the indenture and saw the name written on it: Zhuang Zhixian, slave.

"That's great. From now on, I'll have to trouble Mr. Zhuang to take care of the children in the village." She closed the indenture contract.

"Zhixian greets Miss Xiaoxi." Zhuang Zhixian bowed to Gu Xiaoxi.

"There's no need for so many formalities at home. Asan, take Mr. Zhuang to clean up first and come over for dinner later." Gu Xiaoxi gave an order and then went about her own business.

After Gu Xiaoxi left, Zhuang Zhixian followed Ying San into the yard next door.

Ying San arranged Zhuang Zhixian in the same courtyard. After entering the house, Zhuang Zhixian closed the door and asked nervously, "Miss Xiaoxi, do you suspect me? I, why do I feel something is wrong?"

Ying San actually saw it too. He thought about it carefully and said, "Since the girl hasn't exposed it, let's do it this way for now. We can discuss other matters after the master comes.

Even if Ying Si works very hard, it won’t arrive until after the New Year.”

"Okay, that's it!" Zhuang Zhixian nodded, then asked, "Does the girl know about that?"

"We don't know yet. We can't be sure about this matter. Even if we are sure, the final decision will be made by the master, so we don't have to worry about it." Ying San shook his head. This matter was too complicated and was indeed very difficult to deal with.

"I hope this incident will not affect the relationship between the master and the girl. It's really not easy for the master to find a girl he likes." Zhuang Zhixian sighed.

Ying San didn't want this to happen either, so after helping Zhuang Zhixian clean up, the two went to the front yard.

Today is New Year's Eve, and it is also their first New Year here, and everyone is very active.

In the afternoon, red couplets were posted outside the yard, and everyone had their New Year's Eve dinner amid the children's laughter.

When Gu He heard that Ying San had brought a gentleman back, he came over to toast the gentleman, which made Mr. Zhuang feel a little embarrassed.

Gu Xiaoxi could see that both his parents and the old clan leader had great respect for scholars.

The old man of the Chai family was a little puzzled. Since they already had a teacher at home, why did they need to buy one from outside?

Could it be that this gentleman is more powerful?

Having some doubts in his mind, he deliberately tested the gentleman during the meal, and finally was convinced.

Gu Xiaoxi saw her grandfather taking the exam with that teacher and stood there without saying a word. Naturally, she wanted Afeng and the others to have a better teacher.

Although Zhang Shun didn't have a gloomy face, he looked a little unhappy. When he was waiting to sit with Gu Xiaoxi, he asked, "What? You don't believe me?"

"No. If you have a suitable one, bring me another one. I want one too, but I hope it's not too expensive." Gu Xiaoxi poured a glass of wine for Zhang Shun, clinked the glasses and took a sip.

"Really?" Zhang Shun looked at Gu Xiaoxi doubtfully.

“There’s nothing you can’t take seriously. You can see that there are quite a few children in our yard, and one teacher is definitely not enough.

Even if you don't find one for me, I will still find another one." Gu Xiaoxi didn't want to offend Zhang Shun.

Judging from the time we've been together, the Zhang family has quite a wide network of contacts, and it's nice to have more friends like this.

After hearing what Gu Xiaoxi said, Zhang Shun picked up the cup.

Everyone enjoyed the New Year’s Eve dinner happily, reminiscing about the past and looking forward to the future.

After dinner, everyone did not rush home, but instead sat by the fire in the yard and chatted, while the children played and had fun in the yard.

The weather is very good today and the moon is beautiful. We are staying up all night in front of the bonfire. I hope that next year, when we grow herbs for the first time, we will have a good harvest.

After midnight, when the old people began to doze off, they went back to rest one by one.

The next day, the younger generations kowtow to their elders and wish them a happy new year, and the elders give them red envelopes.

After breakfast, everyone got on several horse-drawn carriages to visit the temple fair.

The Chinese New Year is all about having fun, eating and drinking, and not having to think about those troublesome things.

…

Time flies and fifteen days have passed. After fifteen days, the new year is over.

Before the spring thunder sounded, the villagers of Xujia Village began to busy themselves with cleaning up their fields.

On the morning of the 16th, Gu Xiaoxi took Ershun on a horse-drawn carriage around the village, checking the soil conditions of each household.

After the 25th, she took a group of people and drove a carriage to Medicine City again.

Zhang Shu spent the New Year at their home, and then followed them back to Yaocheng, but did not come back with them.

Gu Xiaoxi stayed in Yaocheng for a few more days this time. After sending everyone away, she went to find some things she wanted and took them back with her.

The New Year has passed and Zhang Shun is ready to leave.

Before leaving, he originally wanted to find a teacher for Gu Xiaoxi. He looked at no less than twenty but couldn't find a suitable one, so he had to give up for the time being.

After Gu Xiaoxi returned from Yaocheng, he took his men and left first.

Lai Yifeng still came to give Xiaoxi the injection on time as requested.

Thanks to the new martial arts book and the snake gall that could enhance her internal strength, Gu Xiaoxi felt that her legs and feet had become much more flexible and her skin had improved a lot after the New Year.

After seeing off the two Zhang Shun brothers, Zhuangzi's life returned to normal.

Gu Yunfei, who originally wanted to find a job in the city, found that there was really no work in the city. He had no choice but to honestly follow and plant medicinal seedlings in the farm.

There is a lot of land in the village, but their population is limited and they don't want to rent it to outsiders.

Gu Xiaoxi had said before that whoever planted the land here would own the property when the harvest came, and they would just need to calculate the money for the seedlings at that time.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone worked very hard because there was nothing to do outside at the moment, and in the end there were not enough medicinal seedlings.

However, Gu Xiaoxi had also made some other considerations before. When she went out this time, she found some returned medicinal seedlings. These seedlings were originally planned to be planted in the space, but now they can only be taken out temporarily.

In addition to the seedlings on the farm, Gu Xiaoxi would go to the village every other day to check on the villagers' medicinal seedlings. If he found any problems, he would ask them to correct them in time.

In order to ensure that everyone could have a harvest in the first year, Gu Xiaoxi had to wait until her family fell asleep after finishing her work during the day before letting the robot irrigate the medicinal fields with a round of spiritual spring water.

After taking care of their farm, Gu Xiaoxi secretly went out to Xujia Village in the second half of the night to irrigate the land there with spiritual spring water.

After being busy for almost seven days, she finally took care of all the fields where medicinal herbs were planted, and she was exhausted.

On the eighth day, she caught a cold. She got up in the morning, had breakfast, and then went back to sleep in a daze.

I slept in a daze for three days.

When she woke up on the fourth day, she found someone beside the bed, and she immediately sat up alertly.

"You, why are you here?" She looked at the person in front of her with surprise.
