When Qin Ling and the others returned home, only Qin Luo, Wan Yun, Tao Zhi, and Qin Yundu, who was studying, were there.
Qin Xing and Qin Xian went to the martial arts school in the county town, while Qin Liang took his three sons to the academy to finish up.
Qin Yunyuan and Wang Chang'en went to inspect the completed ancestral graves, while Qin Yunzhou and Qin Yunning went to check on the tilling of the fields.
Wan Yun and Tao Zhi were carrying fabric and cotton, preparing to make winter clothes for their family.
Qin Luo also provided each person's room with a bed and sofa, as promised earlier.
Then he secretly peeked outside, anxiously waiting for Wu Hua and Qin Ling to return.
They looked like thieves, glancing back and then shrinking away, only to look again a moment later.
The first thing Wu Hua saw when she entered the courtyard was her; she darted over with her short legs.
"Luo Luo, I'm back!"
Qin Luo reached out and picked it up, asking with concern, "How was it? Did it go smoothly?"
Wu Hua's tone was light and cheerful, like a bird set free.
"Successfully, the elders are so eloquent, they easily intimidated the village chief!"
Qin Luo's lips curled up slightly upon hearing this, his tone tinged with smugness.
"That's right, my great-grandfather is quite capable!"
As the man and the beast were chatting happily, Qinling also came over.
"Luo girl, you can come out now. Everyone has been sent away!"
Qin Luo peeked towards the courtyard gate and saw that they had finally left.
The villagers came to worship the pomegranate tree early in the morning, which made her afraid to go out, for fear that people would see her tall stature.
Liu Zheng quickly closed the courtyard gate and said with a pained tone, "Luo Luo has really been wronged!"
Qin Luo had initially felt a bit wronged, but after hearing what she said, those feelings seemed to disappear.
She stepped forward and hooked her arm around Liu Zheng's, acting coquettishly.
"If Auntie feels I'm being wronged, then cook me more delicious food!"
Liu Zheng raised her hand and gently pinched the bridge of her nose, saying affectionately, "No matter how tall you get, you'll still be a little glutton!"
Qin Luo rested his head on her shoulder, feeling especially warm and at ease.
Qin Ling waited until the two of them had finished being affectionate before speaking.
"The ancestral hall will be completed tomorrow, the land will be ready soon, the clinic can open anytime, and we'll also need to move the ashes to the ancestral grave! We'll be busy from now on!"
Wu Hua wasn't interested in anything else, but she had already decided what to plant in the field.
"Elders, let's plant winter wheat in the fields! Sow at the end of October and harvest in July of the following year!"
Qin Ling naturally had no objections: "Okay, I'll listen to my son!"
Dr. You, who was drying herbs in the neighboring yard, vaguely heard that the land was about to be planted.
He hurried over and took Wu Hua into his arms.
"Son, there are still a hundred acres of medicinal herbs left!"
Wu Hua was truly impressed by this strange old man; as long as he didn't kiss her, she would grow anything.
After careful consideration, I decided to consider the medicinal herbs suitable for planting in this season.
"We grow ginseng, he shou wu, astragalus, angelica, and goji berries! These are all suitable for planting this season! If you need other medicinal herbs, just ask me!"
Upon hearing this, Dr. You's nostrils flared slightly, indicating he was quite excited.
Having received Wu Hua's promise, he didn't want to wait even a second longer.
"Little one, do you still have those medicinal herbs from last time? I want some~"
Wu Hua waved her hand and threw out a large pile of medicinal herbs.
Doctor You immediately put down the Wu Hua he was carrying, turned around and started rummaging through the medicinal herbs, all the while spouting nonsense.
"Oh my! My little one, Grandpa You loves you, Grandpa You loves you the most!"
The people behind him were rolling their eyes so hard they were practically pointing to the sky!
Wu Hua walked up to Qin Luo and pointed at Doctor You, accusing him.
"Luo Luo, this old man is so materialistic! He was still kissing me before, but now he doesn't even bother with the pretense!"
Upon hearing this, Doctor You knew he had to give it a few kisses! Otherwise, what would he do if there were no more medicinal herbs?
What followed was filled with the sounds of an old man and a child running around and making noise.
"Little one, don't run away, let Grandpa You give you a kiss!"
"Ugh! What, do you mean I didn't say anything?"
"Sweetie, come and feel Grandpa You's love!"
"Luo Luo, help!"
This farce ended with Wu Hua escaping into the spatial dimension…
Seeing that it had run away, Doctor You picked up the sack of medicinal herbs and went to the neighbor's yard without looking back.
Liu Zheng also went to help Wan Yun and Tao Zhi make winter clothes, leaving Qin Ling and Qin Luo alone. They walked to the table and sat down.
Qin Ling asked, "Luo girl, what should we plant on the remaining 120 mu?"
Qin Luo asked Wu Hua in her heart before replying.
"Grandpa, we'll plant pomelo, cherry, apricot, pear, and peach trees. I'll prepare the saplings we need. You can take us to put the saplings in the ground later, and the workers can plant them tomorrow!"
"Alright, alright! Then arrange everything tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, move the ancestral tablets and your great-grandmother's ashes to the ancestral grave!"
Qin Luo took Qin Ling's hand and noticed that it was covered with tiny scars and thick calluses.
She took out hand cream, applied it to Qinling, and gently massaged it into his hands.
"Grandpa, do you believe me if I say that Grandma and my uncles have all passed away peacefully?"
Qinling answered instantly without hesitation.
"I believe it, Grandpa believes everything Luo Luo says!"
Qin Luo's lips curled into a slight smile, his expression serious, as if it were something truly serious.
"You're right to believe it. Our elders will live in a prosperous era, born into wealthy and powerful families, free from war and suffering!"
Qinling's expression was filled with joy and comfort upon hearing this.
"Okay, then I'm relieved!"
After sitting quietly for a moment, he was about to go find Doctor You.
Qin Luo asked him, puzzled, "Grandpa, are you going to help Grandpa You process the medicinal herbs?"
Qinling had a look on his face that said, "You're such a kid, you don't understand."
"No, it's easier to ask him for a favor while he's in a good mood!"
