The sky is clear and the wind is gentle.

Halfway through, Ji Xiaoshu took the initiative to get off Gu Ling and let Gu Ling carry the tired Gu Xiaonuan on his back.

"Squirrel!" Ji Xiaoshu saw a furry ball in the forest, his eyes lit up and he ran over.

However, the squirrel climbed up the tree very quickly, shook its long tail, and disappeared.

Qianshan Academy happened to be on holiday today, and there were not many people on the mountain road.

When he arrived at the gate of the academy, the gatekeeper recognized Su Liang at a glance - he didn't recognize Gu Ling because when Gu Ling came to the academy, he still used Ning Jing's identity and appearance. And Su Liang saved many people in the academy that time, which left a deep impression on everyone.

"No need to be polite." Su Liang pulled the gatekeeper who was about to kneel down, "We are passing by and come to see."

The old man nodded repeatedly, and after Gu Ling and Su Liang brought the children in, he went to report to the current academy head.

After passing through the academy and reaching the back mountain, Su Liang put down his backpack, took out a picnic blanket from it, spread it out, let the children sit on it, and took out water and snacks for them to eat.

Su Liang saw the three trees that Lin Boyan, Lin Bojun and the real Ning Jing had planted in the back mountain. They had grown a lot taller than the last time they saw them. Lin Shuzhi often said that he wanted to go back to his hometown to have a look, but now he has children and grandchildren around him, and his two sons have become big shots. He is busy with official duties and can't get away. It's not easy to come back.

After playing in the back mountain for a while, when they were about to leave, the head of the academy came over.

Su Liang exchanged a few words with him, asked about the current situation of the academy, and then said goodbye and left.

When going down the mountain, Gu Xiaonuan fell asleep from playing tired, and was held in Gu Ling's arms. Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu were full of energy, running around and playing, and they really met monkeys halfway up the mountain.

Seeing Ji Xiaoshu was about to rush over, Su Liang quickly pulled him back. Monkeys in the wild might be aggressive, and he was afraid that he would be hurt.

Ji Xiaoshu took the remaining fruit and threw it far away. The little monkey jumped down from the tree nimbly, picked up the fruit, and quickly returned to the tree, sat down, and began to eat the fruit.

Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu looked at it with surprise.

"Master's wife, the little monkey has some expressions, just like humans." Zheng'er said.

Su Liang smiled, and when he walked down, he told the children about the origin of mankind.

Back home in the city, Gu Xiaonuan woke up and was taken to the garden by her two brothers to play.

Gu Ling and Su Liang bought ingredients on the way back and started to prepare dinner. They would stay here for a day and leave tomorrow.

Leaving Pingbei City and heading north, every time they passed a place, Su Liang would tell the children when she and Gu Ling came and what they did.

Walking and playing along the way, when they approached Bei'an County, more than ten days had passed since they left the capital. The happiest ones were the children. Life at home in the capital was still very different from traveling. Gu Ling and Su Liang were also revisiting the road they had walked before. The two had originally walked from Bei'an County to the capital for some goals. Although they had returned in the middle, they were more deeply touched this time.

"Master's wife, that temple!" Zheng'er lifted the curtain of the carriage and excitedly pointed to the dilapidated temple not far ahead and asked Su Liang to look.

Ji Xiaoshu came over, "What temple? Is it the temple where the eldest brother was rescued by Master's wife and Uncle Chengyun?"

"Yes!" Zheng'er nodded seriously, "It's here! It was raining heavily that day! I was kidnapped by bad guys, and it was Master's wife and Uncle Chengyun who passed by and saved me!"

The carriage stopped, and Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu ran into the dilapidated temple one after another.

Su Liang and Gu Ling took Gu Xiaonuan by the hand, lifted her up and stepped over the threshold, and walked in. It has been several years, and this place is still there, and no one has repaired it. It is more dilapidated than before, and the eaves are full of cobwebs.

Zheng'er was telling Ji Xiaoshu about the first time he met Gu Ling and Su Liang, "At that time, Master was still Uncle Ning!"

Ji Xiaoshu looked at Gu Ling, "Master, when will you turn back into Uncle Ning for me? I haven't even seen him!"

Gu Ling shook his head, "Then you have no chance." The human skin mask of Ning Jing that he used at the beginning was later buried in the Ning family's cemetery.

After walking around in the ruined temple, before leaving, Zheng'er told Su Liang and Gu Ling that he wanted to ask someone to repair this place so that people could come in and take shelter when they encounter wind and rain.

Su Liang smiled, "Okay. Let's go home first, and when we make a plan, we can find a craftsman."

Before sunset, the carriage slowly drove into Bei'an County.

Su Liang got off the car and looked at the familiar small house. The pomegranate tree inside was in full bloom, with green leaves and red pomegranate flowers hanging on the branches. This year is another bumper year.

Su Liang took the children in first, and Gu Ling drove to buy osmanthus cake from a teahouse in Bei'an County. He hadn't eaten it for a long time.

On the way, Gu Ling saw Hu Er from a distance. He carried a child on his shoulders and walked into a restaurant with a smile on his face. It was probably his grandson.

He should see him again later, but Gu Ling didn't say hello. He no longer needs to disguise himself. His beauty will attract attention wherever he goes, but most people have only heard of his reputation and have never seen him in person. He is low-key and left after buying the freshly baked osmanthus cake.

At night, Gu Ling and Su Liang took the children to sit under the pomegranate tree to watch the moon.

Ji Xiaoshu asked Duanmu Chen, "I heard that the emperor uncle used to be a county magistrate here? Did Master and Master's wife know him at that time? Tell us quickly, how did you know each other?"

Su Liang chuckled, "That's a long story."

"I'm not sleepy. I love to hear any long story!" Ji Xiaoshu said with a smile.

The night breeze was cool, and Su Liang told the children about how he met Duanmu Chen in Bei'an County. It was not pleasant at first, but Duanmu Chen was very smart and always knew what choice would be more beneficial to him, which led to their happy cooperation until he became the only emperor in the world.

"Uncle Emperor is so lucky!" Ji Xiaoshu sighed after listening.

Zheng'er nodded, "I asked Uncle Emperor what the secret of his success was. He himself said that it was important to keep a clear mind, but he mainly relied on good luck."

Since leaving the capital, he has been telling stories to children every day. After today's story was finished, it was already late. Gu Ling took two apprentices, and Su Liang took Gu Xiaonuan to take a bath separately, and then went to bed.

The next day, when Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu woke up, the sun had risen high. They got dressed and went out, and saw Gu Ling holding a broom in his hand, sweeping the fallen leaves in the yard. When I came back yesterday, there were still a lot of weeds in the yard, but it was late at night and I didn't clean it up. Now the weeds have been cleared.

Su Liang stood under the pomegranate tree and reached out to help Gu Xiaonuan, who was picking flowers on the tree.

"You're awake, let's have breakfast." Su Liang said as she took Gu Xiaonuan down from the tree. She held a bright red pomegranate flower in her hand and put it on Su Liang's head, "Mom is so beautiful!"

"Who is more beautiful, me or your father?" Su Liang asked with a smile.

"Big brother, second brother, what do you think?" Gu Xiaonuan very cleverly threw the question to Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu.

Zheng'er immediately ran to help Gu Ling sweep the fallen leaves, "Master, let me help you!"

Ji Xiaoshu said calmly, "Of course it's Master's wife! Is there any need to say that?"

After breakfast, they left their home in the county and returned to Feiyan Town.

Today's Feiyan Town is much more lively than before, and there are many more shops on the street. Originally, this place was a remote place not far from the border, but now that the world is unified, there are many more merchants coming and going to do business. Now the richest businessman in Bei'an County is Su Liang's old acquaintance Hu Er. Because of some past experiences, he made a lot of money, and he has always been generous and insisted on doing good deeds in the local area, becoming a well-known Hu Dashanren.

Passing by Luoyan Restaurant, Su Liang just lifted the curtain and took a look. They were going directly back to the village and would not stay in the town. The restaurant business was very good, and the area was doubled. Su Liang also saw the figure of the original shopkeeper.

Leaving the town and going to the village, Su Liang looked at the scenery passing by outside and felt very kind, and the past events were vivid. She and Gu Ling used to go to the market together, sell pears, sell recipes, and buy medicinal materials in the town...

There were always a few old people chatting under the old tree at the entrance of the village, and some were playing chess. Seeing a carriage entering the village is not a rare thing nowadays, but when everyone saw Su Liang lifting the curtain, they were a little excited, but because of Su Liang's identity, they didn't dare to gather around.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Su Liang is the lucky star of Sujia Village. Sujia Village built roads and several bridges two years ago. Now the children in the village have schools to go to. Several children who are well educated have gone to school in the county. Because the existence of the school has its rules and has also formed a constraint on the villagers, in order to avoid affecting the children's opportunities to go to school, the village is now in a positive atmosphere, which is also due to the good management of the village head Su Bai.

Su Liang smiled and greeted everyone, and he could recognize who they were.

The carriage continued to move forward and passed by the original Su Daqiang's house. Su Liang thought of the old pear tree and couldn't help feeling a little sorry.

After the carriage crossed the bridge, Su Liang heard a familiar voice, "Is Xiaoliang girl back?"

Aunt Bai came up excitedly with a basket.

Gu Ling stopped the car, Su Liang got out with the children, and Aunt Bai came up to her and looked at her, "You haven't changed at all, you're still the same... No, you look better than before!"

Su Liang smiled, "Auntie is much younger than the last time we met, and she looks very energetic."

The truth. The Bai family has become wealthy, and the children and grandchildren have made Aunt Bai worry less. She is much more energetic than when Su Liang first met her, and she is also a little plump, and her steps are very steady.

When Aunt Bai heard this, she couldn't stop laughing, "Old!" When she saw Gu Xiaonuan, her eyes lit up, "This is..."

"This is my and Gu Ling's daughter." Su Liang carried Gu Xiaonuan over.

Aunt Bai was very fond of them, "They are prettier than the fairy children in the New Year pictures!"

Ji Xiaoshu asked with his face in his hands, "Are we not good-looking?"

Aunt Bai kept praising the children. Ji Xiaoshu was very outgoing. Although it was his first time in Sujia Village, he had heard a lot about them from Su Liang, so he asked about Bai Xiaohu and Zhuzi.

"They all went to school." Aunt Bai said cheerfully, "Go home, go home and rest first! I'll prepare some food for you and bring it over!"

Before Su Liang said anything, Aunt Bai had already walked away quickly with the basket.

The area around the house was very clean and there were no weeds. I guess the Bai family had been helping to clean it up.

Opening the door, Ji Xiaoshu ran in curiously, "Is this the first home of Master and Master's Wife?"

The yard was very open, and the pine trees planted that winter had grown a little taller.

Gu Ling drove the carriage to the backyard. There are no weeds in the backyard, and the vegetable patch is full of vegetables. The long pumpkin vines have climbed to the roof, the purple eggplants are heavy, the beans are crisp and delicious, and there are several gourds with large and small green fruits hanging on the eaves, which is very beautiful.

Before leaving last time, Su Liang gave Aunt Bai a key to the house. They must have helped take care of it.

Su Liang took the children into the room. The room was kept spotless, and the bedding was neatly placed in the cabinet.

"Did Master Wife live in this house before? Master lived next door?" Ji Xiaoshu asked.

Su Liang nodded, "Well, it was like this at the beginning."

"Then let the master live next door, and we will live with the master's wife!" Ji Xiaoshu said with a smile.

The next moment, Gu Ling came in, picked up Ji Xiaoshu and threw it out the door, "I'm thirsty, go and boil some water."

Zheng'er came out and pulled Ji Xiaoshu to the kitchen, "Let's boil water, I'm thirsty too."

So, when Aunt Bai came over with a plate of steamed buns, she saw Gu Ling and Su Liang making beds in the room, and two little kids in the kitchen lighting a fire.

"Wash your hands quickly and eat some steamed buns." Aunt Bai greeted Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu with a loving look.

The buns were made this morning. They were just heated again and are white and plump. It happened that the children were all hungry. Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu washed their hands, took one each, and thanked Aunt Bai politely.

"It's so delicious!" Ji Xiaoshu praised.

Aunt Bai smiled from ear to ear, "If it tastes good, eat more."

"I've always been thinking about the buns made by aunt." Su Liang said and broke off a piece for Gu Xiaonuan.

Aunt Bai asked them what they wanted to eat, and she did it. They had been working hard all the way and needed a good rest.

"Then let's go over for dinner tonight." Su Liang smiled.

Aunt Bai nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, then I'll go back and prepare. When Xiaohu and Zhuzi are out of school, let them come over to play. They always talk about you, but they miss you!"

After Aunt Bai left, the children ate and slept in the room. Su Liang and Gu Ling went to the backyard to see their vegetable plot, which was growing well.

"Let's eat dumplings tomorrow, dumplings with pumpkin and egg fillings." Su Liang said, choosing a very tender pumpkin.

"There are also crispy eggplants and steamed vegetables. I'll make them." Gu Ling missed the time when she and Su Liang lived in this small courtyard.

"Well, we will go up the mountain to watch the sunrise tomorrow, if the weather is good." Su Liang said.

"Take the children to hunt wild boars and pick mushrooms," Gu Ling said.

"Plant another pear tree at home." Su Liang chuckled, "I remembered again that you went to Su Daqiang's house in the middle of the night to steal pears. The pears on that tree were really delicious."

"Okay, I'll go find it." Gu Ling said, holding Su Liang's hand, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Happy New Year to everyone, thank you for your continued support, I love you (*^▽^*)
