On the way back, Lu Zheng still went with the Gu family.
He could ride his horse at the same speed as the oxcart and still chat with Gu Shouxin.
Previously, when he looked at Gu Xin, he was mistaken for looking at Gu Nian, so he simply stopped looking at the Gu sisters and only chatted with Gu Shouxin, who was rushing to catch the carriage.
When the conversation turned to using their land to grow things, Cai Xiaolian couldn't help but interject: "Brother Ayuan, can you describe what that thing looks like? You city folks may not have seen it, but maybe we country folks have?"
They have confirmed that Lu Zheng's great-uncle is Master Zhou from the town, the male protagonist's maternal grandfather.
This week, the old man contributed potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes; who knows, maybe he'll do it again this time?
Gu Nian didn't speak; she was recalling the plot of the book.
Unfortunately, the book doesn't describe this much. When Master Zhou appears, he presents these few things, which have already been planted once. The emperor is shocked by the high yield per mu. The protagonist is able to return to the capital because of his maternal grandfather; otherwise, he would have had to stay in his ancestral home to "recuperate"!
Although it's not mentioned much in the book, it's clear that Master Zhou's farming has absolutely nothing to do with the female protagonist's family!
Either Zhou Yuan wasn't talking about those crops this week, or because of their family's time travel, the plot of this book is slowly changing.
As soon as Lu Zheng described it, Cai Xiaolian and Gu Nian confirmed that it was indeed a potato.
Potatoes have appeared, so how far away are corn and sweet potatoes?
The mother and daughter were both thinking about whether they should secretly dig up some seeds and plant them in their own land after the Zhou family came to farm.
We'll have to add a few more dishes then, won't we?
“This is just one of them. Uncle Gu, Aunt Lian, do you know them?” Lu Zheng asked after describing it.
“I can’t remember it just by hearing about it. I should be able to recognize it when I see it! Brother A Yuan, you’re saying this is just one of them? Does Master Zhou have many crops that he doesn’t recognize?” Cai Xiaolian asked curiously.
"Did Aunt Lian agree to rent or sell the land that the sorcerer mentioned to our Zhou family?" Lu Zheng didn't answer, but instead asked.
“Selling is out of the question, and renting requires us to go back and discuss it with our parents. How about this, Brother Yuan, you bring the things tomorrow, and we'll try our best to persuade the elders at home today. We can talk about it again tomorrow, okay?” Gu Shouxin said as they approached Sanchakou Village.
He sensed that Cai Xiaolian was very interested in this, so he didn't refuse her.
After agreeing to the terms, Lu Zheng reluctantly parted ways with the Gu family.
As soon as they left, before the three time-traveling individuals could speak, Gu Xin said, "Dad, Mom, I really think the young master of the Zhou family was looking at my sister. Just now, the way he looked at my sister was so reluctant to let her go, like, well, like the way Grandpa looked when he saw Grandma off as she was leaving."
Gu Shouxin nodded: "I noticed it too! Although he has toned it down a bit and doesn't openly look at Niannian anymore, he still glances at her from time to time."
Cai Xiaolian also said, "This boy is quite good. He speaks very politely and is also very good-looking. He is a good match for our Niannian."
Gu Nian: "!"
"Dad, Mom, Xin Xin, stop talking nonsense. I don't like his type, really. You're not allowed to say that again, or else, or I won't cook!" Gu Nian didn't feel any favor towards her from the Zhou family's young master, though those involved are usually aware of such feelings.
