The two women, Aunt Gu and her husband, came back this time for two reasons: first, to visit their parents, and second, to give gifts to the eldest son's family.
The Gu family doesn't like crowds, and they don't usually hold full-month celebrations for newborns, but Aunt Gu, their aunt, still has to come back to visit.
Like Cai Xiaolian, Zhang knew that her sister-in-law was difficult to deal with. Therefore, Zhang, who had already finished her postpartum confinement, was much quieter than usual and was extremely well-behaved.
After having dinner at the old house, the Gu family of four chatted for a while before going home.
"Her auntie is quite fun!" Cai Xiaolian suddenly blurted out after returning home.
“Her uncle is even more interesting!” Gu Shouxin added.
The mother and her two daughters all looked at Gu Shouxin.
"You'll find out tomorrow. Let's go plant yesterday's seeds first. Didn't Niannian say to plant them in Houyang Ditch?" Gu Shouxin smiled and shook his head, offering no explanation.
Gu Nian divided each type of seed into three portions, but only planted one portion.
They didn't know if the seeds could still germinate after so long, so they decided to try one batch first.
If it's successful, plant some in the vegetable garden in the front yard.
If it doesn't work, it's probably due to the season. Try again in the spring.
The family changed into their work clothes and began working.
"I don't know why Lu and Zhou Yuan trust us so much?" Cai Xiaolian couldn't help but mutter to herself. She subconsciously wanted to say Lu Zheng, but then she remembered that Gu Xin was there, so she said Zhou Yuan instead.
The trio of time travelers had previously discussed whether Gu Xin would remember anything from her past life since Lu Zheng was able to be reborn.
Therefore, it's best not to mention Lu Zheng's name in front of Gu Xin. If it awakens her memories of her past life, that's not what they want to see.
“Mother, Young Master Zhou said that it was the diviner hired by Master Zhou who thought that our house’s location was good for crop growth!” Gu Xin said.
"Does Xin Xin know what a warlock is?" Gu Shouxin asked.
“I specifically asked Grandpa! Grandpa said that sorcerers can know the past and the future, can predict whether it will be sunny or rainy, and can also tell fortunes and help people avoid misfortune and seek good fortune. However, Grandpa also said that not all sorcerers are so capable. In our Great Zhou, you can count the number of capable sorcerers on one hand,” Gu Xin said.
“Our grandpa knows so much! By the way, Dad, where is our grandpa’s hometown? What did our great-grandfather do?” Gu Nian still believed her grandfather’s words. At first, she thought it was just an excuse Lu Zheng used to get close to their family.
“I don’t know either. Your grandmother was born and raised in Sanchakou Village, but your grandfather was from out of town. He was all alone, so probably no one else knows him except your grandmother!” Gu Shouxin thought for a moment and said.
Indeed, the original owner's memories contained no information about the origins of his adoptive father!
"I know!" Gu Xin's words triggered the memories of the three time-traveling individuals.
"How did you know? Grandpa even told you this?" Gu Nian asked in surprise.
"The year before last, Zhang Xiaohu and the others said that Dad didn't want us anymore, and soon Mom would take my sister and run away, leaving me all alone without parents. They said I would be an orphan from now on! That time, Dad really did go out for two or three days, and Mom was very unhappy and took my sister out. I was scared, and I cried. Grandpa came over and told me that Dad, Mom, and my sister had just gone out to work and would come back. They wouldn't abandon me."
