"Sigh, I just feel sorry for Xinxin. I just want her to grow up happily and live a carefree life." Cai Xiaolian sighed.
"Her mother, you said you're already fifty and facing a terminal illness. Do you still believe that anyone in this world can live a happy and carefree life?" Gu Shouxin asked.
Cai Xiaolian was taken aback.
"However, since we are fortunate enough to be the parents of these two sisters, we should naturally do our best to create a good environment for them and let them experience fewer hardships than others. That's all we can do," Gu Shouxin said.
"Sigh!" Cai Xiaolian sighed.
"We'll create power and wealth for those two sisters. I'll teach them the skills to survive, and you can teach them how to conduct themselves and the principles of life. When we grow old and enter the earth, they'll have to rely on themselves. Raising children for a hundred years is a constant worry," Gu Shouxin added.
Cai Xiaolian felt a strange emotion.
Gu Shouxin said, "After we grow old and return to the earth, we will be gone." This is a very simple and sincere statement.
But we...
Could it really be us?
...
On the first day of the eleventh month of winter, construction began on Gu Shouxin's new house.
They didn't pick the corn from the vegetable garden either, since nobody in Sanchakou Village knew them anyway.
They don't plan to eat these corns. They'll wait until they're old, then break them off, grind them into flour, and make chili paste.
The taste of chili paste made from cornmeal is different from that made from rice flour.
Early in the morning, Uncle Gu arrived with the strong men from the village.
All the materials are ready; we're just waiting to start construction.
Because Gu Shouxin was going to accompany Cai Xiaolian to the county town, they asked Grandpa Gu to come and help look after her, and he could make decisions about anything she needed.
Gu Nian and Gu Xin also went with their parents. Zuijianglou had just opened today, so Madam Cheng naturally wanted them to have a meal there.
Moreover, since the two families are already doing business together, and they still don't know all of each other's families, they plan to get to know each other.
The family of four were all dressed in new clothes. After all, Madam Cheng's husband was the county magistrate, and dressing appropriately when meeting guests was a sign of respect.
When the oxcart reached the village entrance, it passed through Group 3 and looked towards the small courtyard. There were quite a few people working inside, it seemed like a major renovation was underway!
The four of them didn't say much, just glanced at it and then drove off.
"Uncle Gu, Aunt Lian, wait for me!" I hadn't gone far when a familiar voice came from behind.
Gu Shouxin stopped the car, turned around and saw that it was indeed Lu Zheng.
This kid is recovering pretty quickly! He's bouncing around like a baby again.
"It's Young Master Zhou! I only found out yesterday that you bought this courtyard. So, are you planning to stay here permanently from now on?" Gu Shouxin asked with a smile.
“Yes! Uncle and Aunt Lian will have to take good care of the younger generation in the future!” Lu Zheng said, looking like a well-behaved young man.
Whether it was just their imagination or not, the trio of time travelers felt that Lu Zheng looked at them differently now.
Before, he was somewhat wary and even harbored a hint of anger, but now, his clear eyes seem utterly harmless.
If I hadn't beaten him up last time and found out his true identity, I would have really been fooled by his obedient appearance.
Moreover, and most importantly, that misleading look in his eyes is gone.
