My Entire Family's Gone Haywire!

Chapter 874

874 The crops are more important than you

On the 7th of August, Lu Zheng rushed over to help the sisters pack their luggage.

Gu Hui was 18 this year and this was the first time she had left home to go to a place so far away. Like Gu Xin, she was also a little reluctant to leave this place where she was born and grew up.

She saw that uncle Gu was silent and depressed. He was leaning against the door frame, looking at her and Xinxin. She walked over and smiled.”Father, why do you seem to have changed into a different person today?”

Uncle Gu was so angry that he knocked Gu Hui. “You still have the mood to laugh! I’m sad! It’s the first time my daughter has gone on such a long journey, and it’s not me, her father, who’s taking care of her. I’m not comfortable.”

“Yingluo’s father, do you want to go with us?” Gu Hui asked.

“No!” Uncle Gu said firmly. I haven’t finished harvesting the crops in my field!”

Gu Hui: ” Yingluo. So, father still cares more about the crops!

“Of course!” Uncle Gu replied. Without crops, how am I going to feed you? Sigh, forget it, I’m going to the fields. Huihui, you’re the older sister. Remember to take good care of Xinxin. Xinxin, you’re the younger sister, so don’t be naughty and annoy your sister! Alright, I won’t say anymore. I’m leaving!”

Gu Hui looked at her father’s back view. Sigh, forget it. She would see him again at the end of next month at the latest.

Grandpa Gu and fourth uncle Gu also gave the sisters some instructions.

After that, grandma Gu urged her to get into the car.

Even after walking for a long distance, Gu Xin still stuck her head out to look around.

When they arrived at the pier and boarded the boat, Gu Xin and Gu Hui did not speak much.

Lu Zheng knew that they would miss this place, so he patted their shoulders.

The ships on the pier set sail and went down with the current.

One ship was not enough to transport grain. There were ten ships in total. When the time came, five of them would be handed over to the Imperial envoy sent by the Emperor in Yizhou.

Lu Zheng had planted potatoes in autumn and winter for the past two years. Therefore, the Emperor had specially sent officials from the Ministry of Revenue to wait for Lu Zheng there. When the time came, the Imperial envoy would bring the seeds directly to Jiangnan and plant a portion there.

The remaining five ships were directly transported back to the capital by Lu Zheng.

For the team that would travel by land, Lu Yang sent Bai Yi and his men to escort Grandpa Zhou.

Grandma Xiao was not with them. She had not decided whether she would stay in Zhou town with Grandpa Zhou or accompany Lu Zheng to the border.

She only had one granddaughter and one grandson. She was very assured of her granddaughter, but she was worried about her grandson, Lu Zheng.

As for old man Zhou, their relationship had become more harmonious recently, but she had gotten used to being alone for more than ten years. Unless the old man left with her, she would not stay in Zhou town for the sake of this old man. She would not want to be with this old man even if she went to the capital and lived next to old Gu’s house.

......

Gu Xin only came back to her senses two days after the boat left.

She hugged Gu Hui’s arm. sister Huihui, thank God you’re with me. Otherwise, I’d be so scared! I’ve never left the house alone. Hehe, the last time we went to Yuzhou, it was also the two of us!”

Gu Hui rolled her eyes at her. “Your brother Yuan Yuan is not human anymore? Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking.”

hehe, sister Huihui, ” Gu Xin said with a fawning smile, ” I just wanted to spend more time with brother Yuanyuan. I was afraid that he would have already left by the time we reached the capital. But we’ll follow him. Once he leaves, Grandpa and Grandma will come soon. Sister Huihui, brother Yuanyuan is very pitiful. We’re his sisters, so we should care for him.”

Gu Hui wanted to tease this girl, so she asked, ” Xinxin, aren’t you afraid that your brother Yuanyuan’s sweetheart will be unhappy when he sees so many of his half-sisters? ”
