Gu Nian didn't fall asleep until much later that night.
Gu Erdan said that her older brother, sister-in-law, and San Niu had also met with an accident, and she would have to stay here forever.
Therefore, many ideas need to change.
She cannot change the world, only adapt to it.
The laws in this world are not as comprehensive as those in modern times, so many things cannot be guaranteed and some special measures are needed.
Sometimes, a beating isn't enough to settle things.
Yes, that's right, it has to be that way.
...
The next morning, Gu Nian got up early to prepare dry food for Gu Xin and the others, making pancakes, boiling salted eggs, and filling several bamboo tubes with water.
Gu Nian thought that one day she might make something that could keep things warm, so that when she went out, she wouldn't need to make a fire in the wild to boil water, and she could just bring hot water with her.
She included this in her plans for this year.
Gu Hui and Gu Xin, carrying small bundles, each with a hundred-tael silver note and some loose silver, and holding their travel permits, followed Lu Zheng and Meng Meng out the door.
Meng Meng's eyes were bloodshot. The boy hadn't slept all night. Huo Junhao was afraid something might happen to him, so he stayed with him outside all night. Huo Junhao wanted to go to Yuzhou with him, but he really wanted to sleep. He couldn't sleep in the carriage, so he slept at Lu Zheng's house.
Lu Zheng, Gu Hui, and Gu Xin were outside driving the train, while Meng Meng stayed inside, staring intently at the listless Xie Nanfeng.
Gu Xin glanced inside every now and then, very worried about Meng Meng.
As she peered inside for the seventh time, Gu Hui grabbed her by the back of her collar and pulled her back to sit properly: "He's a grown man, he knows what he should do."
Gu Xin sighed, "Alas! Love can be so hurtful!"
Lu Zheng and Gu Hui both looked at her speechlessly.
Gu Xin looked left and right, "Sister Huihui, Brother Yuanyuan, don't you think? My dad used to be such a good student because of that Xie Jiaoniang. But later he finally understood and realized how good my mom was. Look at Brother Meng now, what has he become because of that Jiang Yao? I'm really afraid that one day he will become like my dad. Brother Meng is such a good young man! I've even heard the aunties in the village wanting to arrange marriages for him."
Gu Hui pouted, "Aren't you with us every day? When did you go to the village to listen to gossip again?"
Gu Xin scratched her head sheepishly: "My sister said we should balance work and rest! So I went out to stroll around the village with Sisi! I heard from Aunt Cuihua that Brother Meng is a good young man, and she wants to find him a wife, specifically his daughter Sanya!"
Gu Hui smiled and asked, "What else have you heard?"
Gu Xin turned her head to look at Lu Zheng and smiled, "Even more people in the village want to find a spouse for Yuanyuan! But I turned them down on Yuanyuan's behalf!"
Lu Zheng was taken aback.
Gu Hui also looked at Lu Zheng in surprise. This kid can't be that heartless, can he? How old is Xin Xin? Did he say some nonsense to Xin Xin?
Gu Xin continued, "I told those aunties that Brother Yuanyuan has someone he likes, and that they shouldn't even think about it. Brother Yuanyuan really likes his sweetheart. He wants to be a great general in the future, and then he'll marry that young lady. Right, Brother Yuanyuan?"
Gu Hui gave Lu Zheng a half-smile: "You have someone you like?"
Lu Zheng: "...Hmm."
Gu Hui: "Hehe... Tell me, what's it like? Describe it!"
Lu Zheng pursed his lips and glanced at Gu Xin.
Gu Xin said with a grin, "Brother Yuanyuan, tell Sister Huihui! Sister Huihui is better at keeping secrets than I am!"
Lu Zheng: "...She's very beautiful. She has willow-leaf eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes that are very bright and look like crescent moons when she smiles. She has a round nose, a small mouth, and two dimples when she smiles. She has fair skin, shiny black hair, and is quite young; she should still be able to grow taller!"
Gu Hui glanced at Gu Xin; this was based on how she described her!
Pian Gu Xin was still grinning foolishly: "I almost thought Brother Yuanyuan was talking about me! I also have two dimples, and my uncle said I'm still going to grow taller."
