Gu Xin and Gu Nian also returned to Kuncheng on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.
The two sisters also took a detour to Chunnan City to see Uncle Gu's vast fruit and vegetable plantations. Gu Xin was stunned when she saw them. In just two years, her uncle had turned Chunnan County into a fruit and vegetable county.
Seeing so many fruits she liked, she decisively picked two cartloads and planned to take them back to eat slowly.
In the past two years, Gu Nian has developed several kinds of fruit preservatives, which are now available in many parts of Da Zhou. However, fresh fruit is still the best choice. Therefore, Uncle Gu cultivated a lot of seedlings last year, and many people have come to Kuncheng to buy fruit tree seedlings this year.
Besides fruits and vegetables, Uncle Gu also sells fresh flowers. He received quite a few flower seeds from Grandpa Zhou, and Grandpa Gu has planted them over the years, learning about and recording the growth habits of various flowers. However, the weather in Kuncheng is good, so flowers can bloom all year round. In winter and summer, many people also buy flowers from here.
"Huh? Sister, isn't that Sisi and Xiaoyanyan?" The two sisters saw Gu Si and Princess Shalin in the carriage as soon as they entered the city.
Looking around, Gu Nian saw that it wasn't just Gu Si and Princess Shalin; there were also quite a few other things in the car, making it look like they were moving house.
"Xinxin, I think our family moved, and maybe no one told us," Gu Nian said, expressing her suspicion.
"Huh?" Gu Xin was taken aback.
Just then, Princess Salim spotted the sisters and had the carriage come this way.
"Second sister, third sister, you brought back a whole cartload of fruit? Luckily you ran into us, otherwise you would have gone home empty-handed! We've moved to our new house." Gu Si wiped the fine sweat from her forehead and said with a smile.
"Oh? You really moved? Why?" Gu Xin took out a handkerchief, wiped Gu Si's face, and asked.
“Brother Qian is getting married to Sister Zhen. Our father has been transferred to the Ministry of Rites, and Brother Qian has been promoted to Prefect of Kunzhou. It’s not appropriate for us to continue living in the backyard of the prefectural government office. So, Second Uncle discussed it with Father and Fourth Uncle, and they decided to move to the large house we originally reserved for ourselves,” Gu Si explained.
"Oh, I see! Then why are there only the two of you? Where are the others?" Gu Xin looked around. Given their family's current circumstances, they didn't need Sisi to do anything herself.
“They’re all in the big house. I remembered I forgot to take some things with me. After tidying up the new house, I had nothing to do, so I asked Xiao Yan Yan to accompany me back. Second sister, third sister, let’s go, let’s talk when we get back. It’s really hot outside right now.” Gu Si’s sweat dripped down again.
Gu Si is the one in the Gu family who sweats the most. She is particularly afraid of the heat and doesn't like to go out in the summer, which makes her look fairer than Gu Xin and the others in the summer.
Seeing her distress, Gu Xin and Gu Nian didn't ask any more questions. They got into the carriage and headed to their new house.
When the new city was being built, the Gu family reserved a house for themselves, a three-courtyard house, enough for their whole family to live in.
The Gu family knew very well that they couldn't stay in Kunzhou forever, but they weren't sure when they would leave either. If they stayed for too long and got attached to the place, they couldn't stay at the county government office again if they came to visit in the future. So, they prepared a house for themselves here.
Even the small courtyard of Gu Sangu's family was prepared. It wasn't a guest room, but rather the master's room. The Gu family members all knew where the house was located and had seen it before.
