What is that sound?
"Big brother?"
Zhaohe stood up abruptly, rushed to the door, and opened it.
Zhao Xu was indeed standing outside the door, holding a letter, looking excited.
"Big brother, why did you come here in person?"
Zhao Xu was about to hug him and explain things to him properly when he turned around and saw that there were two other people standing in the room.
He was both surprised and delighted: "Father and Mother? What are you doing here!"
Gu Jiangli felt a surge of warmth in her heart when she saw Zhao Xu.
He has grown up, and although he wears ordinary clothes, he is increasingly showing the demeanor of an emperor.
She chuckled and replied, "If I hadn't come here, how would I have known what you three brothers were up to?"
Ayao also said, "Yes, we didn't know you had so many things to hide from us, Zhaoxu, until we came here to see."
Upon hearing this, Zhaoxu hurriedly went inside and turned around to close the door.
He left secretly without the ministers' knowledge.
It turned out that Zhao Yu had brought good news from Qizhou: the locust plague had been completely eradicated.
It is said that Zhao Yu created a medicine that can completely wipe out locusts without harming crops.
This was the first time since the founding of Yun Sheng that the locust plague had been truly defeated, and Zhao Yu deserves much credit for this achievement.
In recent years, the people of Qizhou have suffered greatly, and many have left their homes to make a living elsewhere. Now that the locust plague has been completely eradicated, those who left Qizhou may return to their hometown.
Zhao Yu has solved such a big problem in just a few years in Qizhou, which will surely be recorded in history and remembered for generations to come.
Zhao Xu was beaming with excitement, his eyes sparkling as he spoke, revealing the excitement in his heart.
In order to personally deliver the good news to Zhaohe, he brought several of his personal guards and went directly to Dujia Village.
Zhaohe was also extremely excited after hearing this, and was almost ready to jump up and cheer.
The two brothers talked about their achievements in recent years, while Gu Jiangli and A Yao watched silently with smiles on their faces without saying a word.
Gu Jiangli recalled Zhao Yu and Zhao He's childhood dreams.
Zhaohe said he was going to farm, and Zhaoyu said he was going to control insects; years later, both of them came true.
For parents, watching their children move towards the path of their dreams is the happiest thing in the world.
Zhaoxu stayed here for one night.
The next day, just as dawn was breaking, he prepared to return home.
He still needed to handle matters in the court; he couldn't trust anyone else to do it.
The three men escorted him to the door, but as soon as they opened the gate to the small courtyard, they found a dense crowd of villagers waiting at the entrance.
They stood quietly until they saw Gu Jiangli and his group appear, then they began to approach one after another to speak.
The liveliness here is just as intense as it was many years ago when Gu Jiangli left this place with her two children.
The villagers were even more excited when they saw Zhaoxu there, having just learned who they were.
Everyone was holding gifts of various sizes, ready to give them.
His mouth was full of words of gratitude.
Gu Jiangli and A Yao had already seen this scene before, so they weren't surprised at all.
However, Zhaoxu and Zhaohe had never experienced such enthusiasm before, and it took them a long time to cope.
After much pleading and cajoling from the villagers, Zhao Xu finally accepted a few small gifts, boarded a carriage, and left the village.
After he left, the villagers took Gu Jiangli and A Yao to the small courtyard where they originally lived.
Aunt Zhang said that no one has lived in this small courtyard since they left.
Last night, many people came voluntarily to clean and tidy up.
Although it can't be restored to its original state immediately, it's clean and tidy, and perfectly habitable.
Touched, Gu Jiangli and A Yao followed Aunt Zhang back to the small courtyard.
The courtyard hasn't changed much; it looks pretty much the same as I remember it.
She and Ayao lived here for over a year, and Zhaohe and Zhaoyu were also born here.
They hadn't planned to stay here for long, but as soon as they stepped into the courtyard, a warm feeling enveloped them.
It seems like living here all the time wouldn't be so bad.
Ayao looked around the room, touching the table and the bed frame.
“Jiang Li, Aunt Zhang said that this place can’t be made the same as it was back then, but I feel that nothing has changed. The tables, chairs, everything feels the same as it did back then.”
Gu Jiangli knew that his thoughts were exactly the same as hers.
“Ah Yao, let’s stay here and not leave.”
He turned his head and said, "Okay, I won't leave."
They moved back in here and wanted Zhaohe to come and live with them, but Zhaohe said that his courtyard was closer to the orchard, so he wouldn't move.
Gu Jiangli did not refuse.
Not long after, news came that Zhao Yu had returned from Qizhou.
Zhao Yu did not return to the palace immediately, but instead went to Dujia Village to meet up with Gu Jiangli and A Yao.
He has matured considerably and is now easier to distinguish from Zhaohe.
I heard that Qizhou is very hot and people are living in poverty. Zhao Yu has gotten a bit tanned and her skin has become rough.
He was still handsome, though.
Not long after, Zhao Xu also arrived from the palace, bringing with him lotus flowers that he hadn't seen Gu Jiangli for many years.
Lotus hugged her and cried for a long time as soon as she saw her, her longing bursting forth at that moment.
Gu Jiangli always felt indebted to Hehua, and now he only wanted to treat her better.
On Chinese New Year's Day, the house was more lively than ever before.
Almost every household in the village brought their best dishes to Gu Jiangli.
At night, several children set off firecrackers in the yard and had a great time.
