The two sisters, who had gone to Beiying in high spirits, came out dejected.
After walking for a while, Gu Nian shook Gu Xin's hand: "Xin Xin, do you want to see your brother Yuan Yuan?"
Gu Xin nodded: "I want to! But it's so far! It'll take several days to get there!"
Gu Nian: "Xin Xin, let's finish what we need to do next these next few days and make arrangements. Then we'll have Uncle take us to where we went before. From there, we can go directly to Linshan. You write a letter to A Yuan and ask him to go to Linshan. Once he's there, we can go around to Linshan and meet up! Besides, we were planning to go to that place anyway. Didn't Uncle want us to see the estate he planned?"
Gu Xin thought for a moment and said, "Oh right, that's one way to do it! But sister, Dad will definitely scold us when he finds out."
Gu Nian shook her finger: "It's okay, we'll tell Mom and Grandpa. Then it won't be considered sneaking away. Besides, when we get there, we can ask Uncle to wait for us. We can go to Linshan for a couple of days, then go back to Uncle's place and come back with him. Dad won't scold us."
Upon hearing this, Gu Xin realized that it really would work.
If her grandfather and mother agree, her father will definitely agree too.
Gu Nian added, "However, we need to make arrangements for things in Kuncheng first, and then we can bring Sisi and Hanhan along."
Gu Xin nodded: "Mm!"
So, the two sisters worked very hard over the next few days.
Gu Xin no longer goes to the food street; she's almost always busy with other things.
Gu Shouxin felt sorry for his two daughters. Other people's daughters would stay at home reading books or go out for walks to pass the time, but his daughters had to work so hard.
Sigh, the thought of his two wonderful daughters being snatched away by those scoundrels made Gu Shouxin curse them hundreds of times a day.
On the first day of September, Gu Xin and Gu Nian arranged all their affairs and gave themselves half a month to go out, ensuring that everything at home would run smoothly during that time. Then they set off with Uncle Gu.
Gu Shouxin, thinking about his city-building plan, asked Huo Junhao to take some people over there to get a detailed topographical map.
Grandpa Gu, Grandma Gu, and Cai Xiaolian knew that the two girls wanted to go to Linshan to play, and they all looked at Gu Shouxin with smiles on their faces.
Gu Shouxin was just feeling sorry for the two girls because they had been so busy the other day. He even encouraged them when he learned they were going to go with Uncle Gu.
Grandpa Gu and his two companions were waiting to see if Gu Shouxin would still be smiling like that when the girls came back late.
...
On the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, they arrived at the place they had found earlier.
That river has now been named. In southern Xinjiang, it's called the South River. When Uncle Gu heard about it, he thought it was too much trouble, so he just called it the South River.
In the area near Nanhe, Uncle Gu has already led his people to clear out a lot of land.
It's already getting cooler in Kuncheng, but near Nanhe, the weather is still quite warm, and wildflowers are blooming freely along the roadside.
Neither Huo Junhao nor Huo Yanyu had ever been here before, and they marveled at the amazing weather in both places as soon as they got out of the car.
Huo Yanyu: "Is the weather really always like this here? Isn't it hot in the summer? Summers in Kuncheng are always very hot!"
Uncle Gu waved his hand: "Of course! I've been here all summer! I've gotten so tanned! Look, the corn over there isn't ripe yet! I'm planning to ship a batch back to Kuncheng in a few days."
