Chapter 493: Dad, there’s gonna be a rush.

Chapter 493

Fang Chuanzhou, Xie Tianhai and Hu Cong although following the Mo Family only planted a small amount of corn, like sweet potatoes, they kept it for their own families to eat and would not take it out to affect the Mo Family's business.

The villagers envied the Mo Family, and blamed themselves for not having foresight initially, not believing the Mo Family could grow such good grains.

They were all honest and kind people. At first, Mo Jiuye had also told them to try planting, it was just that no one dared try.

Fortunately, the Mo Family people were generous, and the county magistrate was a good official who loved the people like his children, and bought the corn harvest for them to plant next year.

Although it was a year later, it was after all because they were timid and did not dare try new things that caused this, everyone could only feel vexed at their own lack of courage, and did not develop any jealousy towards the Mo Family.

Mo Jiuye was busy dealing with his own family matters, not only was the corn in the fields mature, other crops were also maturing one after another.

After being busy for half a month, the work in the fields was finally almost done, and he also started building greenhouses according to the method He Zhiran mentioned.

Actually building the greenhouses a bit later was also fine, it was just that He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye had not received any news from the capital these past days, and were feeling a bit anxious.

They planned to settle the household matters early, and head to the capital to take a look.

Mo Jiuye was busy with the fields, while He Zhiran was at home taking care of the children.

Speaking of taking care of the children, it was only at night that she as the birth mother could keep the two children peacefully by her side.

During the day, Madam He and Old Lady Mo were number one, one grandmother and one mother-in-law, wishing they could see the two little treasures every moment.

Zhu and Mingzhu both drank formula milk, and when feeding them neither He Zhiran needed to lift a finger, the two old ladies handled everything.

And there were the eight sister-in-laws and one little auntie, who tirelessly ran to He Zhiran’s place every day.

It could be said, every action of the two little ones had the whole family's hearts in their hands, and even more seriously, as long as Mingzhu's little nose wrinkled, everyone became extremely nervous...

Madam He and He Ziming discussed, the original plan was that after the two little ones turned one month old, the mother and child would set off back to the capital.

But they kept delaying the time because they could not bear to leave.

At this time, mother and son were sitting in the yard of He Zhiran’s home discussing this matter.

“Mother, I estimate if we don’t go back soon, father will definitely become anxious.” There was a testing tone in He Ziming’s words, but Madam He did not notice.

“When Ruan Ruan gave birth safely, didn’t you write a letter to him? What is there to be anxious about, also, being here we can not only see Ruan Ruan, but also have the little pair of cuties Zhu and Mingzhu. Going back to the capital we would not be able to see the mother and children three, I would certainly be heartsick over it.” Madam He's face was full of worries.

The things Madam He said, how could He Ziming not know?

When his younger sister was unwilling to marry into the Mo Family, although he did not help his parents drug her, he also did not promptly stop it.

Fortunately his younger sister’s days were not bad now, and her in-laws were also sincere people, but after all his sister married far away, once he left with his mother, seeing each other again would not be so easy.

Thinking of this, Madam He could not help but weep.

“Ziming, I know what you are saying, I have also thought it over, I do not plan to return to the capital.”

“You don’t plan to return to the capital? What do you plan to do?” Madam He was a little puzzled.

Although her son secretly had the identity of a skilled gynecologist, on the surface he was after all an imperial official. For someone of his status to leave the capital for a period of time was already not easy, how did he get the idea of not wanting to return?

“Mother, only after coming to the northwest, upon seeing the elder brothers of the Mo Family live such simple yet fulfilling days, did I realize the intrigues and deceits of officialdom do not suit me.

These days I have been pondering over a question, which is what do I want.

Now I know, I can say with certainty, I like this kind of self-sufficient and unrestrained life.”

As mother and son were speaking, Lan Er walked into the yard carrying a basket of grapes.

He Ziming’s face flushed for a moment when he saw Lan Er.

Lan Er's gaze towards He Ziming was also dodgy, it was just that the etiquette she learned in the palace since young made her used to maintaining grace.

She nodded towards Madam He and He Ziming.

“Madam He, Eldest Young Master He, these are grapes grown by Ninth Young Master and Ninth Young Lady in the mountains. Although it was the first year planted, the yield is not high, but there is enough for the family to eat. Today when I saw the grapes were ripe, I called Yu Er to go up the mountain together to pick some for everyone to taste.”

Although Madam He was not as perceptive as Old Lady Mo, she could still read people.

Especially today, Lan Er was very obviously somewhat restrained when speaking.

The Mo Family people had already found their place in the northwest, and followed local customs treating themselves as commoners.

Although Lan Er and Yu Er were attendants to the Fourth Princess, in the Mo Family's eyes they never treated them as servants.

Usually, Lan Er and Yu Er behaved gracefully and politely, but were never servile.

Today however was completely different, Lan Er was clearly very nervous when speaking, as if there was someone frightening in front of her.

Madam He felt she was very kind to people, and had never said anything excessive to these two maidservants before, so Lan Er behaving this way today was definitely abnormal.

Also, this maid kept lowering her head to look at her toes when speaking, looking closely, her face was also somewhat flushed.

Then looking at her own son, just a moment ago still telling her what was on his mind, the moment Lan Er appeared, he immediately became uneasy.

Madam He did not immediately respond to Lan Er's words, her eyes shifting between He Ziming and Lan Er.

As someone who had gone through this before, she seemed to understand something.

However, she also knew, for something like this she could only ask her own son.

“Alright, Lan Er has worked hard, grapes this big, later I will eat more.”

Madam He's expression changed swiftly, upon understanding she immediately reverted back to how she was originally, as if nothing had happened.

Hearing Madam He's response, the tension in Lan Er's heart finally eased a little. She acknowledged and immediately ducked into the kitchen to wash the grapes.
