This time, she really saw a familiar face.

However, what she saw was not her elder sister-in-law He Feng, but her elder brother, Old Man Lu.

Lu Xiaohong was so scared that she quickly retracted her neck. She had not forgotten that before her elder brother went to the capital, she stopped the carriage and refused to let him go. Her elder brother almost ran over her with the carriage.

Lu Xiaohong has never forgotten the cold look in her elder brother's eyes at that time.

"I, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do at home, so I'll go back first!"

After saying that, Lu Xiaohong picked up Xu Xiaobao and hurriedly ran away from the Lu family's door.

Gu Yunxi and Lu Jianchuan looked at each other, both of them were confused. They didn't understand what was wrong with her. Suddenly, she didn't even want the rice and flour and just ran away.

Father Lu walked to the door, looked suspiciously at the figure in the distance, and asked, "Who is that?"

"Aunt, come and get the rice and flour." Lu Jianchuan said unhappily, repeating what He Dachun's wife said.

After hearing this, Old Man Lu was silent for a long time.

Finally, he sighed and said, "I shouldn't have cared about her at the time. Now she's back and living in the old house, doing nothing except taking care of the children..."

Gu Yunxi also shook his head and said a few words of comfort: "Dad, under the circumstances, we helped her, which was also a fulfillment of our relationship as relatives."

"I just didn't expect that she really thought we were running a charity and took everything from us. It might not be a big deal for a while, but if it goes on for a long time... I'm afraid she will become more and more greedy."

The fact that Lu Xiaohong came to the Lu family to ask for food today was already a sign.

She must have some bad idea. The food she took back from the Lu family was not just for her own consumption. Gu Yunxi didn't believe it, but Old Man Lu could naturally think of it.

He pondered for a while, then told He Dachun's wife: "Give her a bag of rice every half a month, and don't give her anything else."

He Dachun's wife nodded hurriedly and took notes carefully.

In the past, the masters did not make it clear how to give it, which allowed me to find a way to get out of trouble. Now that it has been made clear, I believe that such problems will not occur again in the future.

After making the arrangements, Old Man Lu went out for a walk.

He was thinking about the acres of melon fields and medicinal fields, so he went out and walked directly towards the medicinal fields.

When they arrived at the medicinal field, Lu Yuancheng and Lu Yuanping were weeding and had no idea that Old Man Lu had arrived.

"Yuancheng, Yuanping, take a break. We just had lunch!"

It has just been a short time since they had lunch, and the two brothers are so honest that they don’t even know how to take a nap before going to work in the fields.

Hearing the familiar voice, Lu Yuancheng and Lu Yuanping raised their heads and shouted excitedly: "Uncle, you're back!"

The two brothers went home for lunch at noon and heard their father say that Lu Jianchuan and their uncle had returned.

They originally thought that uncle's house must be very busy today with many guests visiting, but they didn't expect that uncle would come to the fields at this time!

However, this is the uncle in their memory. No matter where he goes, he always has his fields in his heart.

Old Man Lu waved with a smile and asked them to sit under the big tree on the edge of the field.

"Yuancheng, the honeysuckle now looks much more luxuriant than when I left!"

Before going to the capital, Father Lu still remembered that the honeysuckle in the medicinal field had just begun to grow new leaves. Now, the new leaves can no longer be seen, all are dark green leaves, and the branches are full of flower buds.

This year, it must be another bumper year for honeysuckle! Father Lu was very happy.

Lu Yuancheng smiled and nodded: "Yes, uncle, when you went to the capital, I was still picking new branches and removing old leaves."

"The flower buds have only recently grown rapidly. They will probably be ready for picking in a few days. Yuanping and I will be weeding these days. Once the picking is done, we can start fertilizing."

Old Man Lu nodded with satisfaction. He felt relieved now that the medicinal field was in the care of Lu Yuancheng and his brother.

"Okay, Yuancheng, and Yuanping, you've done a great job. When the honeysuckle harvest is good this year and you sell it at a good price, I'll give you a share of the profits!"

Hearing this, Lu Yuancheng waved his hands hastily: "No, uncle, the monthly salary you give to me and Yuanping is more than enough."

Lu Yuanping also echoed: "Yes, uncle, we don't want money anymore. Now the income of several taels of silver per month is the best in this area within a radius of ten miles. We are already very satisfied."

The brothers' high-paying job is the only one of its kind in Xijiang Village, and there is no other like it in Jihu Town or even Yang County.

For this reason, the village chief had reminded Lu Yuancheng and Lu Yuanping countless times to work hard to live up to Old Man Lu's family.

Father Lu smiled and said, "You don't have to be polite to me. Now that I'm not at home, no one is taking care of the farm affairs. I'm counting on you two brothers."

"You will get what you deserve, not a cent less. Just take it with confidence. This is what you deserve."

"Okay, let's stop talking. Let's go for a walk first. I'll take a look at the medicinal field, and then I'll go take a look at the melon field..."

Old Man Lu went straight down to the field and walked in the ditch in the medicinal field.

Lu Yuancheng and Lu Yuanping looked at each other and hurriedly followed: "Uncle, wait for me."

At the same time, Gu Yunxi was at the village chief's house, talking to the village chief's wife, Liang!

The village head's wife took Zhongsheng's hand and asked him to recite the Three Character Classic to Gu Yunxi.

The middle school student was a little embarrassed, blushing, and recited in a low voice: "When a person is born, his nature is good..."

He recited more than ten sentences fluently before he paused, a little stuck.

After hearing this, the middle-aged man’s face turned even redder and he lowered his head and stopped talking.

Gu Yunxi smiled and clapped his hands: "Zhongsheng is really amazing. He has only been in the academy for a short time, but he can recite it so well!"

Zhongsheng raised his eyes in surprise and looked at Gu Yunxi. He seemed to have not expected that Aunt Yunxi would praise him even though he hadn't finished reciting the Three Character Classic?

He was originally in a bad mood, but suddenly he became happy again and his eyes lit up.

"Zhongsheng is so awesome, I'm going to give you a reward!" Gu Yunxi said, taking out a box from behind and handing it to him.

The middle-aged man was stunned. He wanted it but didn't dare to take it. He looked up at his grandmother.

The village head's wife nodded, and Zhongsheng took it and said in a baby voice, "Thank you, Aunt Yunxi."

"So good. Open it and see if you like it?" Gu Yunxi said with a smile.

As Zhongsheng opened the box, several exquisite brushes, a piece of fine ink, and an inkstone were revealed.

Zhongsheng’s eyes widened, he couldn’t believe that Aunt Yunxi actually gave him such a precious thing!

He was so surprised that he couldn't speak. Suddenly, he felt his nose sore and his eyes became moist.

He had never felt such care from his mother, but now, Aunt Yunxi could actually do it!
