When they arrived at Shiyan Village, it was already noon. As soon as they opened the car door, the faint smell of the sea wafted in the air. Yang Ruxin liked this smell very much because the city she had lived in during her previous life was a beautiful coastal city.
Even though Shiyan Village belonged to Peach Blossom Town in Baihua County, it was actually closer to Wuhu County.
However, the villagers of Shiyan had some differences compared to those of the actual fishing villages; their village still had some farmland where they could grow grains, whereas having a vegetable plot would be considered quite good in the other surrounding villages.
"Excuse me, how do I get to Uncle Lu Gao’s house?" Lin Xiwang conscientiously went to ask for directions.
"Brother Lu’s house? It’s on the west side of the village," answered a middle-aged man, who was carrying a basket of manure, with great enthusiasm, "Come on, I’ll take you there."
Thus, accompanied by the smell of manure, the carriage arrived at the entrance of the Lu Family.
"Brother Lu, you have some distinguished guests..." The man shouted at the doorstep.
The door creaked open, and a robust woman stepped out. Upon seeing the carriage and the people who looked like they had stepped out of a painting, she seemed somewhat flustered.
"Auntie, is Uncle Lu at home? I’m Yang Ruxin," Yang Ruxin said with a smile as she stepped forward.
"Xinxin is here," Lu Gao’s voice rang out, and he then strode out. After glancing at his wife, he said, "Hurry and let them in, it’s cold out here and warm inside." He also nodded to the man who had led the way, "Old Wu, come over for a drink when you’re free."
"Will do," the man replied and left with his basket of manure.
The Lu Family consisted of four members. Their eldest daughter, Lu Cuicui, had been married for two years, and now their son, Lu Zhuangzhuang, who was seventeen, was getting to know prospective families.
On the way, Yang Ruxin bought some pastries, candies, and two pieces of pure cotton fabric as gifts, which were quite generous.
Ya Family was a woman of few words. Knowing that the beautiful girl in front of her was Miss Yang, who would make their own lives better, and seeing that she had brought so many gifts, she was exceedingly attentive and thoughtful, almost wanting to offer all the best things their house had to treat them.
"Auntie, please don’t go to so much trouble, simple is fine," Yang Ruxin intercepted Ya Family, "I’m mainly here to discuss something with Uncle Lu."
Ya Family then looked towards her husband.
"Xinxin, it’s not easy for you to visit, you should have a proper meal," Lu Gao said, waving his hand, "Thanks to you, our lives have improved a lot. Look, this New Year, we even bought a good amount of meat. Zhuangzhuang went to his grandma’s; when he comes back, he can fetch more wine. I’ll have a few drinks with Brother Gu..." He had visited the Yang Family and met Gu Qingheng. Back then, he felt sorry that such a good man was disabled, and now seeing him recovered, he was absolutely delighted, "Such a good person deserves to be healthy..."
Yang Ruxin looked at Gu Qingheng.
Gu Qingheng smiled and replied, "Since Uncle Lu is happy, I will join him for a drink."
"Haha..." Lu Gao immediately burst into laughter.
Just then, a young man who was a spitting image of Lu Gao ran in, "Dad, Mum, there’s a carriage at the front door..." As soon as he saw that there were people inside, he seemed a little embarrassed.
"This is Miss Yang I told you about, your Sister Xinxin," Lu Gao hurriedly called the young man over, "And this is your Brother Gu."
