Gu Ranzhou shook his head and told the reason why he didn't want to go: "I don't want to go to the capital yet. If you go back, you will be on a mission. I can't stay there alone with the child. I think it's good to stay here."
Then he immediately said: "Let's talk about it later!"
Lu Zhenchuan was somewhat reluctant to listen to his wife's words, but his wife's words were not without reason. He was out on a mission, and he was worried about leaving his wife in the capital. If she was seduced away by some wild man, who would he cry to? He knew that the men in the capital were fickle, and his wife was so beautiful and powerful, so he could only reluctantly respond, "Yeah."
Gu Ranzhou stopped what he was doing and tried to comfort the other person: "Be good, when the time is right, I will go to the imperial capital."
After Lin Feng received the letter, he hurried to the cowshed. He did not open the letter.
Old Master Lin frowned when he saw him running towards him impatiently. This brat didn't even realize what the situation was. He had come here secretly before, but now he came here so blatantly. What would he do if he was seen?
Lin Feng excitedly ran to the old men holding the letter like a child: "Grandpa, Grandpa Lu and the others wrote back."
Old Master Lin was stunned for a moment: "Old Lu wrote back, it's only been a short time!" He thought to himself that they had only been here for about three months, less than half a year. Did something happen in the imperial capital?
Lin Feng explained: "Today is the end of the year, and the postman from the post office delivered the letter to the village. I happened to have it so I took it."
Mr. Zheng sat aside and looked at Lin Feng and asked, "Have you opened it?" Then he added, "Are you sure it's not for Zhenchuan?"
Lin Feng shook his head and pointed at the name on the envelope: "No, this letter has my name on it." Then he said: "This is a secret code between me and Grandpa Lu. If my name is on the letter, it is for you, Grandpa. If Qinchuan's name is on the letter, it is for him. Grandpa Lu said that this way it is easier to tell them apart."
Mr. Lin took the letter from Lin Feng and opened it. Mr. Zheng came over to read it: "Ah..."
After Mr. Lin sighed, even Mr. Zheng looked at him in a daze.
Lin Feng didn't open the letter, so he didn't know what it said. He asked, "What's wrong, Grandpa?"
Mr. Lin was speechless, but Mr. Zheng said: "Lao Hai's granddaughter really fought for Lao Hai's vindication!"
After hearing what Grandpa Zheng said, Lin Feng leaned over to look at the letter written by Grandpa Lu: "How could this be? Grandpa Zheng, didn't Grandpa Hai say that Yanyan had been sent abroad?"
Old Master Xu also understood what they were saying and sighed, "That girl must have sneaked back again. She's a good girl!"
Lin Feng didn't know what to say so he could only ask, "Grandpa, Grandpa Lu said in the letter that they are already working on redressing the injustice. Does that mean we can return to the capital next year?"
Old Master Lin nodded: "That should be the case. Knowing Lao Lu's character, he will probably go back in the spring of next year when it's time to plant crops."
Lin Feng was stunned when he heard his grandfather's words. He didn't expect him to return so soon: "So soon?"
Mr. Lin said, "We already have the evidence. I'm sure Lao Lu won't be able to act quickly. That girl will definitely urge Lao Lu to take action."
The other two old men were as surprised as they were. They didn't expect that they would be rehabilitated so quickly after coming here. They all agreed that this place was very good and much better than the reform they had received in the solitary confinement room.
Lin Feng asked in return: "What about the Yao family?"
Upon hearing this, the three old men sneered, "If they don't fall, it won't be much better. After all, they've offended so many people that they can't even count them. Once the people they targeted are redressed, they'll be the first to be targeted. Their lives will be difficult from now on. Their roots are not strong to begin with, and once they're moved, there's no way they can be brought back. After all, the people they targeted are not easy to deal with."
Old Master Xu slammed his hand on the small table and said, "After two years, we've finally waited for this day."
At this time, Lu Zhenchuan walked in from outside carrying a basket.
"Zhenchuan, why are you here?"
Lu Zhenchuan said, "Don't you even look at the time? You've already eaten, so of course I'm here to bring you food."
Mr. Zheng asked happily, "Would you like to stay and eat with us?"
Old Master Xu said, "Hey, Old Zheng, is there anyone else at home in Zhenchuan?"
Only then did Mr. Zheng remember that Gu Ranzhou still had two children at home. "Yeah, I was so happy that I lost my mind for a moment. What a confused old man."
At this time, Mr. Lin stepped forward and asked, "Zhenchuan, if we are rehabilitated, will you also come back with us? After all, your military status is still there."
Lu Zhenchuan nodded unhappily: "Yeah."
At this time, Mr. Li said, "Will Xiaozhou go back with you?"
Lu Zhenchuan felt a little down when he heard what Old Man Lin said, but he still spoke out: "My wife said she plans to stay in the village and not go to the imperial capital. She will come to the imperial capital to find me when the time is right. We have already discussed it."
Mr. Lin had been in the officialdom for many years and understood what Gu Ranzhou was thinking. He nodded and said to Lu Zhenchuan, "That's fine. Let's talk it out."
"Okay, we'll eat by ourselves, and after you finish eating, we can ask Afeng to come over and carry the basket."
Lu Zhenchuan nodded: "Okay, we'll go first."
The two men left the cowshed and walked on their way home.
Lin Feng asked with some doubt: "You really don't want to take Brother Gu and An An to the imperial capital?"
Lu Zhenchuan sighed and said, "Ah, I want to take her with me, but my wife doesn't want to go. Plus, I might have to go out on a mission as soon as I go back. What should I do then, leaving my wife and An An in the capital where they're unfamiliar with the place? Besides, my wife doesn't want to go to the capital either."
Lin Feng nodded and said with emotion: "What you said is not without reason. Having said that, this place is quite good. It's just that the transportation is a bit inconvenient, but there are fewer spies and eyes following us."
When the two of them walked into the house, they saw Gu Ranzhou sitting around the table waiting for them to come back and have dinner together.
Lin Feng saw Gu Ranzhou sitting there and called out, "Brother Gu."
Gu Ranzhou glanced at the two of them, nodded, and then served the two children some food: "Come and eat quickly, otherwise it will be dark soon."
After everyone finished eating, Gu Ranzhou let the two children go back to their rooms and then went to take a shower. Lu Zhenchuan and Lin Feng cleaned up the dishes.
