"What kind of person do you think I am?" Gu Shouxin asked with a smile.
Lu Zheng was taken aback, then laughed: "Hahaha, Second Uncle, you're so funny, and getting more and more funny. I was blind before, I didn't know you were so talented. I hope you will give me more guidance in the future."
Gu Shouxin smiled, but seeing that the carriage was about to enter the town, he didn't reply.
The distance from Sanchakou Village to Zhoujia Town is not far, even closer than to Taoyuan County. Further in the direction of Zhoujia Town is the capital of Qingzhou Prefecture. However, it takes about four hours by carriage to get to Qingzhou Prefecture, so the people of Sanchakou Village will not go to the capital unless it is important.
Zhoujia Town is named after the Zhou family. The Zhou family's house is quite large. When Gu Shouxin followed Lu Zheng inside, he couldn't help but think of his former self.
I used to live alone in such a big house.
Thinking about it, Mr. Zhou is quite pitiful. His wife doesn't stay with him, his daughter is gone, and even though his grandson is by his side, he can't tell anyone.
"Yuanyuan is back! This must be my nephew Shouxin! Come in and sit down!" Master Zhou was a plump old man with a smile on his face when he saw the two of them.
Gu Shouxin: So you're calling your nephew already? Aren't you afraid I'll go back and ask my mother? And then Aunt Xiao will get angry that you exposed your relationship and come to town with a knife to kill you?
"Master Zhou," Gu Shouxin muttered to himself, but his demeanor remained perfectly normal.
"Why are you calling me 'Master'? I'm about the same age as your parents. Just call me 'Uncle'. Yuanyuan lives with his grandmother at the crossroads. You've taken good care of him. Calling me 'Uncle' would be too formal." The chubby old man's feigned anger was quite endearing.
“Okay, Uncle Zhou,” Gu Shouxin said with a smile.
"That's more like it! Sit down, sit down, have some tea and snacks first. You must be tired from your journey." Master Zhou immediately smiled and warmly invited Gu Shouxin to drink tea.
Gu Shouxin: "Uncle Zhou, our village is actually quite close to the town, only a quarter of an hour away."
It's not even a matter of rushing.
Master Zhou nodded in deep agreement: "It must take at least a quarter of an hour! If only we could be in town, or even in your village! A quarter of an hour! A quarter of an hour!"
Lu Zheng twitched his lips. He could tell that his maternal grandfather didn't think that the distance between Sanchakou Village and Zhoujia Town was far, but rather that the distance between Sanchakou Village and his maternal grandmother was far.
He just didn't understand. His maternal grandmother used to live in Taoyuan County, which is much farther from Zhoujia Town. How did he manage to endure it for more than ten years?
Gu Shouxin didn't know how to respond, so he could only offer tea and water to cover up his embarrassment.
It is said that this fat old man had a good relationship with his adoptive parents when they were young. However, because of Lu Zheng's mother's situation, Aunt Xiao left the Zhou family, and the fat old man no longer dared to contact his adoptive parents.
He couldn't imagine what it would be like for this wealthy, fat old man to get along with his father, a refined and honest country old man. What would they talk about?
"Grand Uncle, these are potatoes grown by Second Uncle and Aunt Lian's family. Take a look." Lu Zheng placed the basket of potatoes in front of Master Zhou, interrupting his worries.
"It really grew! Wow, it's quite big, and I think it can still grow bigger." Old Master Zhou said in surprise as he came back to his senses.
He never expected that the second son of the Gu family, who used to be good at studying, could now also be good at farming!
