The sweet potato seedling cultivation and transplanting were all handled by Lu Zheng and Uncle Gu.
Uncle Gu was also very interested in the sweet potato. Knowing that Lu Zheng's family had more seeds, he encouraged Lu Zheng to plant all the seeds in his house, and he would help.
Lu Zheng had originally had this idea, and after Uncle Gu mentioned it, the two of them discussed it and made a decision.
They even plan to plant corn, following the same planting method as them, but all of it will be planted on the Zhou family's estate.
The planting in this part of the village is almost finished, so the two decided to go to Master Zhou's estate tomorrow.
In the evening, after dinner, Lu Zheng took a leisurely stroll in the village with his hands behind his back. He hadn't gone far when he saw Gu Shouxin driving his donkey cart back.
"Oh, Uncle bought a zither! And a chess set too? That's great! I'm quite interested in that. How about we play a couple of games when I have some free time?" Lu Zheng knew what it was just by looking at the packaging in the donkey cart and said with a smile.
"Alright, how about a couple of games tonight?" Gu Shouxin loved playing chess; he loved the feeling of controlling the game and dominating everyone. In his past life, he had captured many famous scholars to play against him. Those who couldn't beat him weren't allowed to leave, and those who did had to stay and wait for him to turn the tables. Anyway, when he died, he still had quite a few famous scholars trapped in his mansion.
Since Lu Zheng is the male protagonist of the book, he can't possibly not know how to play chess, right? Let's give it a try and see how good he is.
Moreover, he's been here for so long and hasn't played with anyone yet!
"Okay, then Second Uncle, you go back and eat. I'll just stroll over there leisurely!" Lu Zheng said with a smile.
Gu Shouxin was testing the waters, and so was Lu Zheng; he also wanted to see how good Gu Shouxin's chess skills were.
In his previous life, he and Xin Xin knew each other for eight years. Xin Xin was very talented in chess, and he always felt that there was not enough time to play against her. He had not played chess for a long time since he was reborn. He wondered if Xin Xin's father could reach the same level as Xin Xin in his previous life.
Gu Shouxin tied up the donkey, and Gu Xin ran over: "Dad, you're back! What did you buy? It's a huge wooden box!"
"I bought this zither. I'll teach you when you sisters have some free time in a few days! Here, take this chessboard." Gu Shouxin had Gu Xin carry the chessboard while he carried the zither, some books, and chess pieces, and they all went into the main room.
“Wow, there’s chess too! Dad, Grandpa’s house has some too, and Grandpa knows how to play. But nobody at home plays with him, and Grandma doesn’t play with him either. I often see him playing by himself!” Gu Xin said.
“I know your grandfather can play chess, so if I teach you, you can play chess with him,” Gu Shouxin said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, then I must study hard. My uncle said that Grandpa is very good at chess, and people who are not good at chess will doubt their life if they play against him. My uncle has doubted his life many times, so I don't want to doubt my life." Gu Xin said seriously.
"Hahahaha... Your uncle is quite self-aware! I believe our little Xinxin won't doubt her life." Gu Shouxin laughed heartily.
"What are you two talking about? Why are you laughing so happily?" Cai Xiaolian came out of the kitchen to help get some things.
"Nothing much, I just bought the zither and chess set, and Xin Xin mentioned my older brother again," Gu Shouxin said.
“Her uncle said he was going to go to the Zhou family’s estate with A Yuan for two days to plant all the remaining sweet potatoes and corn. He really loves farming,” Cai Xiaolian said when mentioning Uncle Gu.
"It's good to plant them, so their seeds don't rot at home!" Gu Shouxin nodded.
