By February, Lu Zheng's injuries had healed, and Grandma Xiao even suspected that her grandson had a strong self-healing ability.
Uncle Gu was overjoyed that he could get out of bed.
The two of them collaborated on spring planting and autumn harvest last year.
The potatoes planted in the previous winter have been harvested, and Lu Zheng immediately instructed the people on the estate to plant more. This way, when he went to the capital in the second half of the year, he could transport more seeds there, and the emperor could distribute more seeds to various regions.
The Gu siblings continued their arduous training until the end of February, when they finally got used to the sandbags. But Gu Shouxin immediately added more weight to the sandbags.
The Gu siblings were in great distress. Gu Ren clapped his chubby little hands and cheered, "Seeing you unhappy makes me so happy!"
At the end of February, Gu Nian finally received a letter from Li Muyan, and her anxiety subsided.
Li Muyan's letter didn't mention anything else, only that he had fallen seriously ill after his last illness and had been bedridden for more than a month, and he didn't want anyone else to write letters for him.
Because he hadn't received any letters from Gu Nian, he assumed she was still angry, so this time he mustered up the courage to write one.
The entire piece expressed his sincerity, his caution, his reluctance, and his fear.
Gu Nian wrote him a letter, telling him about her life and that she probably wouldn't be able to go to the prefectural city in the short term, so they would have to communicate through letters.
Then the two began corresponding with each other again.
Gu Xin kept in touch with Huo Yanyu and Xie Zhiyi. Xie Zhiyi envied Gu Xin, who had brothers and sisters to practice martial arts with every day, and she also wanted to join in. Huo Yanyu wasn't so envious; she knew her own body and couldn't handle that kind of intensity.
The Huo siblings are both intelligent, but not very strong in martial arts. They have hired martial arts experts to protect them. Huo Yanyu has an eighteen-year-old maidservant by her side, and Huo Junhao has a twenty-year-old servant. However, neither of them brought their own with them when they came to Sanchakou Village, so generally no one would bully them. Given their intelligence, they are not easily bullied.
...
The provincial examination will be held on the fifth day of the third month.
This time, Gu Shouxin didn't take care of the children. He told them to stay home and obediently complete the tasks he assigned. He even specially asked Grandma Gu to supervise them.
Well, the most authoritative person in the family isn't Gu Shouxin, it's Grandma Gu!
You can be affectionate with Gu Shouxin, but you can't be affectionate with Grandma Gu at all.
The couple went out on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, and it was raining heavily. The rain continued for five days.
On the afternoon of the sixth day, Gu Nian, wearing a raincoat and straw hat, was preparing to return the book to Grandma Xiao. However, she saw the Li family's carriage at the door of Grandma Xiao's house.
Gu Nian waved: "A Dong, why are you coming over in the rain? Li Muyan is really going too far, isn't he afraid the road will be slippery in this heavy rain!"
Before A Dong could speak, the carriage curtain was lifted, and Li Muyan jumped out, stood in front of Gu Nian, and gave her a big smile: "Niannian, I missed you so much."
Gu Nian stared at Li Muyan in surprise. It took her a while to come to her senses before she pushed him into the car, saying, "You idiot, didn't you know you should wear a straw hat? Your hair is all wet!"
Li Muyan tried to pull Gu Nian into the car.
Gu Nian slapped his hand away: "Wait for me a moment, I'm going to leave something with Grandma Xiao, I'll be right back!"
With that, Gu Nian turned around and ran to return the book.
Grandma Xiao wanted Gu Nian to stay for a while, but Gu Nian hurriedly said a few words and ran out.
As a result, she saw Li Muyan standing in the rain again. Speechless, she ran over and pulled Li Muyan into the carriage.
