It must be said that Lu Guangji is really efficient at doing things.

He had only been back in Beijing for a little over a month when he sent a series of food and household items from Kyoto, especially milk powder and clothes for Yu'er and Tangtang.

However, the most exciting thing was the news that came with these things: the patriarch of the Lin family had been investigated by higher authorities.

It is not yet clear whether anything substantial has been found, but Lu Guangji confirmed that the other party has been apprehended and punishment is almost a certainty.

In addition, he also mentioned in the letter that once Old Master Lin really falls from power, he will look for an opportunity to report to the higher authorities about the Lin family's framing of the Zhu family, and see if he can help the Zhu family return home sooner.

Regarding the question of whether they could go back sooner, the Zhu family wasn't really that fixated on it; they just felt that the injustice done to them should indeed be cleared up first.

Moreover, according to Lu Guangji's description, the Zhu family felt that the situation outside was really bad, so it was better to stay in Hongshan Brigade for the time being, at least there was not so much infighting and deceit here.

So everyone was just happy to hear that the Lin family was going to be finished, and didn't pay much attention to anything else.

To prevent Lu Guangji from wasting time and effort on these matters and ultimately failing to achieve the desired result, Old Master Zhu specially asked Zhao Cheng to write a reply.

The gist of it was that the situation was bad, and Lu Guangji should prioritize his own safety and not do anything pointless.

Furthermore, at the end of the letter, they warmly invited him to come here to reunite with his family after everything was settled.

Going to the countryside doesn't guarantee complete protection, but at least the farther you are from the center of power, the less likely you are to be affected.

Zhu Qinghao was initially worried that her family would want to go back home soon, but after hearing their simple thoughts, she was relieved.

She didn't see much in her previous life, but she knew that there were quite a few similar cases of the Zhu family being wiped out during the same period.

Besides, Si Tian often comforted her, saying that it might not be a bad thing for the whole family to be in the countryside, which made her keenly realize that staying in the countryside might actually be better than returning to Beijing.

That's true, at least for now.

Therefore, in Zhu Qinghao's view, even if the Zhu family wanted to go back, they should wait until the overall situation was more stable and many people, including the Zhu family, were exonerated.

As for whether Grandpa Lu and the others want to come here, she doesn't intend to interfere; it's better to let others act according to their own wishes.

If they come, then Grandpa Zhu and Grandpa Sheng will have another old friend to chat with.

If he hadn't come, given Old Master Lu's military achievements, as long as he didn't condone his family's crimes like the old man did, he should have had no problem protecting himself in this storm.

May arrived in the blink of an eye, and the team was preparing for spring planting. The two children in the cowshed were about to turn one year old, and Zhu Qinghao's baby was finally almost three months along.

I don’t know if it’s because of the spiritual spring water, but Zhu Qinghao really didn’t have much trouble with this pregnancy.

Originally, she and Sheng Yi were both on high alert, mentally prepared for morning sickness and various uncomfortable symptoms, but later they found that she could eat and sleep well and was in great spirits.

Since discovering she was pregnant, her only worry was that no one would let her go out before the snow melted, which made her feel really bored, even though Si Tian would go and keep her company whenever she had free time.

But having someone accompany you and being able to go out freely are two different things. Even if Si Tian tells her some of the most interesting gossip, she will still regret not being there to hear it.

Finally, the ground has thawed and the temperature has risen, and the busy farming season for the team is about to begin again.
