The little boy seemed to have thought of something and looked uneasy.
Gu Yundong rubbed her forehead. Alright, actually, this kid was also afraid, but he just didn’t say it.
“Yunshu, can you apany Mother and Sister for a while more?” This house was big after all, and it was a brand new and unfamiliar ce for them. Yunshu was only five years old. After the excitement of seeing a new house had passed, she still felt very uneasy.
After all, in the old Gu family, their family of five only had one room.
Gu Yunshu immediately puffed out his chest. “I-I’m not afraid.” There was no such thing as ghosts. Yes, his father had once said that strange powers did not disturb the mind. What Third Uncle had said about hanging headless ghosts in the past was all lies.
“Of course Yunshu isn’t afraid, but the weather is cold now. You’ll catch a cold easily if you sleep alone. When springes, you can stay in any room you want.”
“Okay!!” Gu Yunshu nodded vigorously. Then, he lowered his head and quietly exhaled.
Gu Yundong immediately smiled. She took the two children’s hands and walked to the room. She started talking about the decorations.
Gu Yunshu had carefully nned her room. There was a desk here and a cab there.
Gu Yunke was much simpler. The youngdy was a little vain now and said that she wanted to nt flowers in the room. Previously, Zeng Yue had brought her to the foot of the mountain to pick some wild flowers. She had brought back a lot and ced them in a corner, saying that they smelled good.
Madam Yang didn’t say anything. In any case, she would nod no matter what the two children said.
By the time the family of four finished exploring all the rooms, it was almost time for dinner.
Shao Qingyuan had just returned, but there was a carriage behind him.
He pulled the carriage into the backyard of Gu Yundong’s new house. She lifted the curtain and saw that it was filled with sugarcane.
Gu Yundong looked at him in surprise. There was still sweat on Shao Qingyuan’s forehead on such a cold day, but the corners of his mouth were slightly cracked. He smiled and said, “I’ve caught up with Liu Wei. Don’t worry, he promised not to tell his family. He knows that you need sugarcane to make sugar, so he asked me to pull the sugarcane nted in his vige.”
Gu Yundong’s mouth twitched. No wonder he came back sote.
After some thought, she asked Shao Qingyuan, “It’s free, right?”
“Ahem, of course.” Shao Qingyuan lowered his head slightly. He wanted tough but held it in.
Gu Yundong nodded in satisfaction. “At least he knows a little about the ways of the world.” She could help him win two, no, perhaps more shopster.
She saw Shao Qingyuan’s travel-worn appearance and thought about how he had helped her keep an eye on Gu Xian’er even though he hadn’t eaten much for lunch. Later on, he had chased after Liu Wei to transport the sugarcane. She immediately felt a little guilty.
She seemed to be ordering him around too naturally. Why didn’t this person know how to refuse?
“What do you want to eat tonight? I’ll make it for you.”
Shao Qingyuan thought for a moment and said in a low voice, “Egg-Fried Rice.”
“Alright, rest first. It’ll be done soon.”
She rolled up her sleeves and went to the Zeng family’s kitchen. Shao Qingyuan looked at her back and shook his hand slightly. His eyes were deep and there was a smile on his lips.
In the next two days, the furniture for the new house arrived.
Gu Yundong also moved the sugar-making tools to the new house. After all, the courtyard here was big and there was a well. It was much more convenient.
Liu Wei came again the next day. He said in a hurry that the Tao family had indeed gone to find trouble with him. He was beaming with joy as he recounted how he had tricked the Tao family.
Just as Gu Yundong despised him for spouting saliva, Shi Dashan came knocking on her door..
