Qin Luo didn't specifically ask, but simply watched as the two gave instructions.
"Eldest cousin, fourth cousin, I'm leaving the shop renovations to you. Remember to help Shuiying out often. I'll head back to the village now, and I'll come see you again next time!"
They both nodded simultaneously, promising to take good care of Shuiying.
After breakfast, Qin Luo went back to the village with her three sisters-in-law, Doctor You, and the younger members of the Qin family.
Qin Ling and Qin Liang stayed in the county to help Qin Yunyuan and the others renovate the shop.
Anyway, Li Sheng is helping to look after the fields, and the school won't start enrolling students until spring.
They have nothing to do when they go back, so they might as well stay in the county and help out!
10:30 AM
As soon as Qin Luo and the others arrived at the village entrance, they heard He Suisui's cheers.
"It's donkey-hide gelatin! It's donkey-hide gelatin! Mother, Master, and Sister are back! Hahaha~"
Upon hearing the sound, Wu Hua looked towards the village entrance, and Doctor You immediately told the donkey-hide gelatin maker to stop.
Just as Wu Hua was about to jump off the donkey cart, Doctor You pulled her down, and the three sisters-in-law of the Qin family and Qin Luo also got off the cart.
Yu Fangfang greeted the group.
"You're finally back! Sui Sui waited at the village entrance all morning, saying he wanted to be the first person you saw when you got back!"
Liu Zheng took her arm and led her towards her home.
"Zai Zai was very anxious the whole way, constantly urging the donkey cart to go faster, saying he wanted to see Sui Sui as soon as possible!"
Several women walked and chatted, two little ones holding hands, each carrying firecrackers they had picked up the day before in their other hand.
Doctor You was holding the reins of the donkey-hide gelatin truck behind them, but it was just for show.
The donkey-hide gelatin no longer needs to be driven; it can find its way on its own.
But fearing others would notice its difference, I didn't dare let it run too fast on the road.
The group stopped in front of the Qin family's gate, but they didn't return all night.
The base of the wall outside the courtyard was covered with burnt incense ash, and the branches were draped with red silk.
Tao Zhi looked at the red silk and asked, puzzled.
"Didn't we say before that burning incense would suffice? Why are we hanging up red silk now?"
Yu Fangfang then explained it to her.
"I don't know who spread the rumor, but it says that your Danruo tree can not only make children smarter but also grant them children. That's why everyone's come to pray for it!"
Qin Luo pointed to a red ribbon hanging on the tree and said, "Look, someone is already pregnant!"
Upon hearing this, the group looked over and, sure enough, it read: "May Lord Kang bless us to have a son!"
Then Tao Zhi leaped up, ripped all the red ribbons off the tree, and threw them hard on the ground.
"Yun Du, go get a tinderbox and burn all of these. Nobody can stop me from getting my daughter!"
"Okay!"
After Qin Yundu finished speaking, he opened the courtyard gate and ran towards the kitchen.
Wan Yun and Liu Zheng helped Tao Zhi walk into the courtyard, while Doctor You followed behind, leading Ejiao and muttering to himself.
"All Lord Kang does is eat, he has no interest in having children, it's simply ridiculous!"
Yu Fangfang was still reeling from the shock of Tao Zhi flying up the tree, unable to recover for a long time.
He Suisui, who had already entered the courtyard with Wu Hua, saw her mother standing still and ran out of the courtyard again to tug at Yu Fangfang's sleeve.
"Mother, what are you doing standing here? The aunties have all gone inside!"
Yu Fangfang then came to her senses, her eyes shining as she looked at him.
"Sui Sui, did you see that? Didn't your auntie just look like a female knight-errant?"
He Sui Sui looked at you with a surprised expression.
"Uncle is so amazing, what's so strange about Auntie being able to fly? Let's go inside quickly! I still need to learn farming from my master!"
Yu Fangfang raised her hand and tapped his little head.
"You need a master to learn farming? Your father is busy in the fields right now, why don't you learn from him instead of finding a little baby who's not even as tall as a hoe to learn farming?"
He Suisui was delighted to hear this, but she couldn't tell her about becoming Lord Kang, so she could only unhappily shake off her sleeve.
"I'm not going to care about you anymore, hmph!"
After saying that, he ran towards Wu Hua. The two then ran hand in hand to the backyard.
Yu Fangfang followed him into the courtyard, and Qin Luo washed some fruit and placed it in the main room.
Seeing her come in, I invited her to have some fruit first, and suggested she stay for lunch so she wouldn't have to make a round trip.
Yu Fangfang didn't stand on ceremony and readily agreed.
After the group finished lunch, Dr. You went to tidy up his pharmacy, preparing to start seeing patients the next day.
The three sisters-in-law of the Qin family and Yu Fangfang worked together to cut patterns and make clothes!
Liu Zheng wanted to make more clothes for Qin Luo and Wu Hua before they left, so she asked a few people for help!
Qin Yundu studied as usual. Before the twins returned, Qin Liang had also assigned them homework.
So the two of them went to the study with worried expressions!
Qin Luo spent time with the two little ones farming in the backyard. Before dinner, the two had already marked out a plot of land as an experimental field and planted a ring of small wooden sticks around it.
Because farming tools are too big, and New Year's Day is too small.
Wu Hua then handed over the task of hoeing and loosening the soil to Qin Luo.
Qin Luo could only work diligently like an old ox, digging the ground.
As she dug, Wu Hua taught He Suisui a lesson.
"Sui Sui, watch how Luo Luo does it. When you can lift a hoe, you can try it yourself. Observe how she uses her arm strength, which will reduce the soreness!"
He Suisui watched intently from the side; if he could write, he would have liked to take notes.
After Qin Luo finished digging, Wu Hua instructed her to compost the soil.
Qin Luo looked at the outhouse, his brows furrowed so deeply they could trap a mosquito!
"Son, can't we just explain without actually doing it? He'll probably need another ten years before he can even lift a manure. Just tell him, and when he grows up we'll write to him and encourage him!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Hua felt that it made some sense.
So he stopped making her pick up manure and started explaining the steps to He Suisui one by one.
