Gu Xin stopped crying, and Lu Zheng led her towards the swing.
Lu Zheng's family also has a swing, which can seat two people. Gu Xin and Gu Si usually love to sit on the swing when they come to play.
Lu Zheng was taller than both girls. After sitting down, he stabilized the swaying swing, took out his handkerchief, and turned to the side to wipe Gu Xin's tears: "If you keep crying, you'll turn into a little kitten."
Gu Xin pursed her lips and looked at him without saying a word.
Lu Zheng wiped away her tears and pinched her nose: "Next time you ask me not to do something, just speak properly. You can yell at me, but don't cry. When you cry, I don't know what to do. I can't just give you a piece of candy to coax you. Didn't you tell me last time that you're a grown woman now and that those ways of coaxing children don't work on you anymore?"
Gu Xin: "My sister said that candy can replenish energy. I just yelled at you, cried, and ran away. I've used up all my energy, so I want to eat candy."
Lu Zheng smiled helplessly, thinking of going back to the house to get some candy to coax his girl, but then he saw that the little girl's bag was bulging, so he took it from her.
He doesn't like sweets, but his grandmother does, and Gu Xin does too, so there's never a shortage of sweets at home.
He was afraid that the little girl would run away after he went to get the candy, so he used the little girl's candy to coax her.
The candies in Gu Xin's bag were all made by Gu Nian. Gu Nian herself doesn't like sweets, but she loves her younger sister, so she packed a lot for Gu Xin and Gu Si.
The two, one big and one small, sat on the swing, eating candy, and neither of them spoke.
After a while, Gu Xin suddenly asked, "Brother Yuanyuan, you should still go!"
Lu Zheng asked with a smile, "Didn't you say you didn't want me to go? Then I won't go. I'll just stay with Xin Xin and farm to earn money."
Gu Xin shook her head: "No. Father said that a man should have his own ambitions. Although farming to make money is also an ambition, Yuan Yuan, you shouldn't be that kind of person. I don't want to leave you, Yuan Yuan, but all good things must come to an end, and every parting is for a better reunion next time! So, Yuan Yuan, go!"
Lu Zheng felt a pang of sadness.
He was hoping Gu Xin would tell him not to go, so he didn't throw a tantrum.
He just felt sorry for Xin Xin, who was so sensible. In his past life, Xin Xin was just as sensible.
Before he could finish feeling sorry for her, Gu Xin's eyes flickered: "But, Brother Yuanyuan, could you do me a favor?"
Lu Zheng: "Tell me what you want me to do."
Gu Xin tilted her head: "You have to agree to come first."
Lu Zheng was feeling sorry for Xin Xin at that moment, so he nodded without hesitation: "Okay."
Gu Xin's eyes lit up: "Brother Yuanyuan, please tell my grandparents to take me and my sister to Beijing with you! We've missed our parents so much, it's been so long!"
Lu Zheng: "...It's almost the end of the month, and Grandpa and Grandma Gu are also leaving."
Gu Xin shook her head: "By the end of the month when we set off, and then go to Beijing, Yuan Yuan, you won't be here anymore."
After saying that, she grabbed Lu Zheng's arm and shook it from side to side: "Brother Yuanyuan, please say yes! I really miss my parents, and I also want to spend more time with you. Three years, it will be three years before we can see each other again, don't you want to spend more time with us?"
Lu Zheng: "I want to. Then I'll go talk to Grandpa and Grandma Gu in a bit. You... sigh..."
Lu Zheng smiled and sighed; he really couldn't do anything about Xin Xin.
If he wants to take Xinxin and Niannian to the capital, he'll have to travel by water. He can let Baiyi and the others take the land route to deal with those people.
