For the next few days, Gu Nian and Gu Hui stayed in the cabin and rarely went out. Their meals were brought to them by their two younger sisters.
Gu Xin and Gu Si would often wander around the village with their little baskets on their backs, which made the village aunties very envious.
Look at the Gu family's two little granddaughters, how sensible and obedient they are!
Even though the family has enough money to build a new house and has plenty of food, these two kids still go out to dig for wild vegetables!
The Gu couple finally saw how good their little daughter was and realized they needed to improve themselves!
On the very day Gu Xin finalized her route, the two sisters encountered Lu Zheng, who was carrying a bundle and riding a horse, at the village entrance.
"Young Master Zhou, you can ride a horse now? Are you going out? When are you moving in?" Gu Xin was in a good mood, so she asked a few more questions.
Lu Zheng was quite surprised, but replied in a good mood, "Yes, my injury has healed, and I can ride a horse by myself now. I have to go and do something for my great-uncle, I'll be back when I'm done. Are Xin Xin and Si Si here to dig for wild vegetables?"
“Yes! Then we won’t keep Young Master Zhou from leaving. Goodbye, Young Master Zhou!” Gu Xin waved with a smile.
"Goodbye Xinxin, goodbye Sisi!" Lu Zheng waved as well.
Only after watching his girlfriends leave hand in hand happily did Lu Zheng ride away.
Now that he's found the right person, he no longer has to worry about people suddenly coming from the capital. He can stay here with peace of mind from now on.
Two years, two years to watch Xin'er grow up and plant all the seeds that her maternal grandfather had given her.
Because of his rebirth, several important milestones in his life have been brought forward, but he is not afraid. This life is what he has earned with everything he has, and he will give Xin'er everything she hopes for!
Lu Zheng was well aware of his current situation. Through his observations over this period of time, he was also able to confirm that the three members of the Gu family were no longer the same three people he knew. However, since the three of them were good to Xin'er, he no longer worried that Xin'er would follow the same old path.
His goal was to clear away all obstacles around him before he came of age, creating a clean and harmless environment for Gu Xin.
Even though he could see that the three men were very capable and extraordinary, that was still far from enough once he got close to the center of power. Therefore, he needed to become powerful as soon as possible.
...
That evening, the four sisters had another small gathering outside the old house.
It was dark and the cold wind was howling, but the four sisters were very excited.
"Sacks, ropes, fire pokers, Brother Enzi's smelly socks, and what else?" Gu Si counted the items.
“Everything is ready! Tomorrow at 5 a.m., I’ll tell Dad I’m taking Xin Xin out for a run,” Gu Nian said.
"Everything is ready! Just wait for tomorrow's victory!" Gu Xin was so excited, she couldn't calm down at all, as this was the first time she had done something like this.
"What victory? What are you girls doing outside the door?" Just then, Uncle Gu came out of the old house and overheard this.
“Dad, Niannian wants to take Xinxin for a morning run to exercise. I’m taking Sisi with us tomorrow too. Where are you going so late?” Gu Hui asked.
"Oh dear, running is good! When your second uncle was in school, your grandma forced him to run a lot, saying that even if a scholar is talented, it's useless if he's physically weak. A few exams ruined his health! Even though you don't study, this exercise is good for your health. If you live to be a hundred, remember to burn me lots of paper money!" Uncle Gu laughed heartily.
The four Gu sisters: "..."
