In the past, Lu Zheng would always look at Gu Xin without any attempt to hide it, making them think that he was looking at Gu Nian.
But now, Lu Zheng acted like a polite young master, no longer looking at the two girls with those eyes.
It's straightforward and honest, leaving no room for error.
"Look at what you're saying, Young Master Zhou, your great-uncle is Master Zhou, how could we possibly take care of you!" Cai Xiaolian said with a smile.
"Aunt Lian, you're being too modest. I'm young, and in Sanchakou Village, I only know Second Uncle and Aunt Lian. I need your guidance on many things," Lu Zheng said.
"Hmph! You don't even trust our family anymore, yet you expect us to take care of you?" Gu Xin couldn't help but say.
Lu Zheng seemed to only then notice Gu Xin. He was secretly surprised. It had only been half a month since he last saw her, but his Xin'er looked much fairer, her face was fuller, and she looked particularly energetic.
It seems they've really taken good care of Xin'er!
“Xin Xin, it’s not that I don’t believe you! I came to Sanchakou Village not because I didn’t believe you, but because I plan to stay here and learn to grow crops next spring!” Lu Zheng didn’t show any surprise on his face, as if Gu Xin had always been like this.
His gaze was just right, no longer as fervent or joyful as before, but just like a normal person.
"You want to farm?" The Gu family of four were all surprised.
Even though Gu Xin wasn't very knowledgeable, she knew that the young masters in town lived a life of luxury, with everything done for them, and they didn't need to farm at all.
Someone planted it for him.
“Yes. My great-uncle said that if the potatoes are successfully planted, we should plant them again next spring. I know that my second uncle has to study, and Aunt Lian and Miss Niannian have to run a food business. We can't let Miss Xinxin do the farming for us! So, we'll need my second uncle, Aunt Lian, and Miss Niannian to give us some pointers on what to pay attention to when planting them.” Lu Zheng’s expression was very sincere, like a student humbly seeking knowledge.
The time-traveling trio: If I didn't know what you were hiding inside, I almost would have believed you.
Could it be that he was beaten senseless?
"Oh, I see!" Gu Xin realized she had wronged him yesterday, so she said, "Young Master Zhou, my parents and sister are very busy. Actually, I know how to grow potatoes. I'll teach you if you don't know how!"
Before Lu Zheng could finish saying "okay..." and thank you, he was interrupted.
"I'm not busy, I can still find time to teach Young Master Zhou how to grow potatoes," Gu Shouxin said.
“If Young Master Zhou wants to learn farming, we will naturally teach him,” Cai Xiaolian said.
"Don't worry, Young Master Zhou, my sister is still not as experienced as we are. She'll definitely teach you!" Gu Nian said.
"Then I'll have to trouble Uncle Lian, Aunt Lian, and Miss Niannian. Thank you also for Miss Xinxin's kindness." Lu Zheng smiled, looking extremely sincere, and then added, "By the way, Uncle Lian, are you going to the city? Could you give me a ride? I'm going to the city to visit an elder."
"Young Master Zhou, don't you have a horse?" Gu Xin asked curiously.
"I was sick a few days ago and injured my leg, so riding a horse isn't convenient. Jixiang is busy, and there's no one to drive me. Second Uncle and Aunt Lian, could you give me a ride? I'll take a passing oxcart back later," Lu Zheng explained.
"Alright, then come on up!" Gu Shouxin nodded, he was curious to see what tricks this kid was going to pull.
