Lu Baichuan wasn't stupid. Seeing his expression, he said directly, "Since you know you have no one around, you should cultivate them slowly yourself. Fill in whatever you lack. If you don't understand something, just write to ask me. Why do you need to disturb my peaceful sleep so early in the morning?"
This angered his wife, who kicked him off the bed.
Thinking about it now, I feel so aggrieved.
"Who asked you?"
Qin Jian was stubborn; he would never admit that he was inferior to him. What man doesn't have pride?
"Okay, it's better if you don't ask me. I'll have more time to spend with my wife and son."
Qin Jian: ...So what if you have a wife and son!
He turned his head to one side, displaying his dissatisfaction to the extreme.
He was thinking that he wished he were Lou Chong so he could go with them. He heard that his sister-in-law had researched new food. What would he do if his sister-in-law went to the capital?
He was working in Jingzhou, and occasionally he could go to the capital to hand over tasks, just like Lu Baichuan had done before, but that was only occasional, and he would have to come back after a few days.
How can you eat your fill in just a few days?
For a split second, Qin Jian was stunned. So, was he reluctant to part with Lu Baichuan, his brother with whom he had shared life and death, or was he reluctant to part with the delicious food that He Jiuniang had made?
Lu Baichuan was clearly not in the mood to chat with him here. He got up and went inside. He hadn't been able to hug his son since he came back from his trip. According to his wife's instructions, he had to spend more time with his son in order to make up for the four years of life he had missed.
Although the two seemed to have broken up, Qin Jian still shamelessly ate at the Lu family's house. At the dinner table, he kept saying nice things to He Jiuniang, asking her to bring him a portion if she ever came up with any new dishes.
He Jiuniang nodded and said, "No problem. Anyway, if we make any food in the capital, we will definitely share it with Jingzhou. Although I am not in Jingzhou, the business here will continue."
The two revealed some of their itinerary while talking, but their family members didn't realize it and thought they were talking about how He Jiuniang would have to take care of the business here after they went to the countryside.
They were still thinking to themselves, "Going back to my hometown for the New Year won't take long, at most half a month. Why do they seem so serious?"
However, the others did not pay much attention to it. Instead, they discussed the gifts that He Jiuniang brought back. Then He Jiuniang started asking about the situation at Old Man Lu's club. The topic went around in circles, but no one paid much attention.
After finishing his meal, Qin Jian left. He was now in charge of directing things and had a lot to do. Just like Lu Baichuan said, he needed to fill in the gaps in his knowledge. He knew his own shortcomings and knew he had to find and fill them. He couldn't just cram at the last minute, because then it would be too late.
The Lu family started packing their luggage. They would pack everything today and set off early tomorrow morning so that He Jiuniang could see her little nephew soon.
"I heard that my brother-in-law and his family came back a few days ago. Are they all alright?"
After packing her own things, He Jiuniang went to help Sun Shi pack hers. Neither of them were used to having their maids pack their personal belongings; they preferred to do it themselves.
While packing, they chatted for a bit. He Jiuniang remembered the letter from a few days ago and asked about it.
"Don't even mention it," Mrs. Sun waved her hand helplessly. "Although they seem quite happy, I still feel uneasy inside."
He Jiuniang immediately perked up when she sensed the hidden meaning in her words and asked, "What's wrong?"
