The Lucky Farmgirl-Chapter 2050 - 2025: Reunion

Junior Ms.Qian was preparing, and in early May, Zhou SiLang indeed brought the whole family to the capital. Zhou ErLang and Ms.Feng also came along. Zhou Lijun took her younger siblings out of the capital to greet them, and Ms.Feng almost didn’t recognize the three siblings when she saw them.

Not to mention Zhou Lijun and Zhou Liru, even Zhou Liwei was very different from before.

The three were delighted to see their parents, Zhou Liwei ran towards his father, and Zhou Lijun and Zhou Liru also rushed towards their father, their eyes sparkling as they called out, "Dad!"

"Hey!" Zhou Erlang, looking at the three children, reached out and gave Zhou Liwei’s shoulder a hearty pat, beaming from ear to ear, "Good lad, you’ve all grown so tall!"

He couldn’t help but praise Lijun and Liru, "All grown up into young ladies."

On the side, Ms.Feng, who was very excited, saw that all three children rushed towards Zhou ErLang and felt displeased, so she couldn’t help but cough once.

Zhou Lijun immediately pulled her younger siblings with a smile and called "Mom."

Ms.Feng was secretly delighted, trying to keep a straight face, but couldn’t help showing some of her happiness, "Good, your grandpa and grandma are in the back, go greet them quickly."

The three went to the back to pay their respects. Zhou Dalang had already arrived earlier and was talking to Old Zhou and Ms.Qian. Seeing Zhou Lijun coming over, he said, "Dad, let’s go back first, their mom is cooking at home."

Old Zhou nodded.

Ms.Feng, who missed her son, was holding his hand and said, "I missed you so much. You’ve grown taller but look thinner. When we’re back, I’ll make something good for you."

Zhou Liwei tensed up and quickly refused, "Mom, I’m not thinner, don’t tire yourself."

Everyone returned to Zhou Residence in a lively atmosphere.

Zhou ErLang and Ms.Feng were visiting for the first time. Before coming, they had heard countless times from their father about how large their house in the capital was, but they never felt it. Standing in front of the door, they couldn’t help but gape.

Once inside and after a lively gathering, and once the three children moved their belongings to the courtyard in the back and settled, they finally snapped out of their daze, swallowed, and asked, "Are all these courtyards ours?"

Zhou Liwei replied, "Not just this side, there’s a row in the middle and another row over there, but the courtyards there are wider with fewer rooms, though the scenery is nice. At the end, there’s a big garden. Dad, you can rest first, after dinner, I’ll take you to see it."

Zhou ErLang clicked his tongue, "Such a big residence..."

In the capital no less, how much must this be worth?

While Zhou ErLang only thought about it, Ms.Feng asked directly.

Zhou Lijun said, "I don’t know how much it’s worth, as nearly all houses here aren’t up for sale. Those who live in this area are either wealthy or noble. This house was a gift from the Crown Prince; otherwise, we wouldn’t have lived here."

Ms.Feng clicked her tongue, then remembered to ask, "Where’s your younger aunt? I haven’t seen her yet."

"Younger aunt is in the palace," Zhou Liru said. "Today she’s on duty in the palace, and she can only leave when she has a break."

Ms.Feng then remembered to ask Zhou Liru, "How are your medical studies going with your younger aunt?"

Zhou Liru, a bit nervous, said, "Pretty good, younger aunt says I’m learning well, to take my time."

Ms.Feng got very excited, "Can you diagnose a pulse and prescribe yet?"

She said, "I heard that Datou’s wife is also younger aunt’s disciple, and after studying for two or three years, she became a medical assistant. Your grandpa says she can become an Imperial Physician just like your younger aunt and could be allocated hundreds of acres of land."

Zhou Lijun and her brother and sister: ...

Zhou Liru couldn’t hold back, "Mom, Senior Sister only studied with younger aunt for two or three years, but before that, she had been a medical attendant in the Imperial Hospital for many years."

Zhou Lijun then said, "Mom, the land is a positional field, not personally given to younger aunt. If she doesn’t hold office anymore or moves elsewhere, that land has to be returned."

She continued, "Younger aunt’s allocation isn’t just because she’s an Imperial Physician, but also because she’s a Compiler."

Ms.Feng didn’t even understand the official titles, but it sounded impressive.

Zhou Liwei plainly stated, "Mom, don’t rush Third Sister, let her take her time learning. Younger aunt said, for medical studies, even after ten years it’s not too late to finish."

"But your younger aunt didn’t study that long..."

"Younger aunt is so smart, can we compare to her?" Zhou Liwei said matter-of-factly, "When learning a text, younger aunt can memorize after glancing twice, whereas we might not memorize it after reading it twenty times. So a day’s effort for her amounts to ten days for us. A year for her is like ten years for us. Imagine how many years she’s studied."

Ms.Feng: ... Is that really how it’s calculated?

She felt something was off, but couldn’t pinpoint exactly what.

Zhou ErLang had already unpacked the bundles, taking everything out, and seeing Ms.Feng still pondering, he said, "Don’t think about it, even mom takes a long time to figure these things out, let them handle it."

Ms.Feng: ... What does that mean, is he saying she’s dumb?

Zhou ErLang already smilingly asked Zhou Liwei and Zhou Lijun, "Come, tell dad, in the past two years in the capital, do you have someone special?"

Zhou Liwei lowered his head, blushing, and just as Zhou Lijun was about to say no, she glanced over, froze for a moment, then also lowered her head. Holding her breath for a moment until her face turned red, then she gently exhaled...

Zhou ErLang didn’t notice, but seeing both his children blush made him happy. It looked like, even if they didn’t have someone special, they’d at least opened up to the idea.

It’s easier to talk about marriage once they’re open to it. Parental arrangements or a matchmaker’s words would work with more choices.

Unlike Sixth, who stubbornly refuses to open up, thinking money is better than marrying a wife, how difficult is that?

He came to the capital this time for his children’s marriages, so he didn’t bother with other matters, as long as they fixed up suitable marriages, it’s fine.

Zhou ErLang, chuckling, decided to speak with his two children privately later to avoid them feeling embarrassed in front of everyone.

Happily pulling Ms.Feng away, Zhou Lijun finally breathed a sigh of relief. When she looked up, she found Zhou Liwei and Zhou Liru staring at her in surprise.

Zhou Lijun raised her brows and asked, "What?"

Zhou Liwei swallowed and asked, "Second Sister, do you have someone special?"

Zhou Liru also kept her eyes on her.

Zhou Lijun replied, "Not yet, but isn’t it better than dad randomly arranging a match or asking me to return to our hometown?"

After a pause, she asked Zhou Liwei, "Do you have someone special?"

Zhou Liwei hesitated before saying, "Well, kind of... I guess."

"It’s either yes or no. Are you planning to deceive some girl?" Zhou Lijun couldn’t help but give him a pat.

"No, we haven’t talked much. I do like her, but I don’t know if she likes me," Zhou Liwei hurriedly explained, remembering something, he immediately added, "And you haven’t settled a fiancé yet, how can I go ahead of you?"
