Full of questions, Su Xiaomu tossed and turned that night and couldn't sleep.

It wasn't until she opened her eyes that she didn't know what she was looking at, and heard the sound of him getting up after the first rooster crow. Then she closed her eyes with a fear of him finding out that she wasn't asleep, and finally didn't know where she was.

When did he fall into a drowsy sleep?

When she woke up again, it was already breakfast time.

After breakfast, Su Xiaomu followed Mrs. Chen to the shop. Of course, she also quietly took all her belongings with her. After lunch, she went to the bank in the name of eating, and exchanged the money she had for

Into banknotes.

Su Xiaomu has been preparing for her departure in the past half month.

She first told Boss Zhang that she was going to the provincial capital for a while.

If nothing else goes wrong, she will develop in the provincial capital in the next few days, and then carefully sew the banknotes she exchanged for and the broken silver into her underwear.

The copper plate is carried in the purse. After all, it is easy to carry and convenient for daily expenses.

After getting all this ready.

Although Su Xiaomu still went back and forth between the city and the village every day as before, he also craned his neck to look in the direction of the academy every day, expecting to see Gu Jingcheng.

I thought about telling him my plans after arriving in Fucheng.

But it was a pity that Gu Jingcheng had not been to the shop once in the past half month, and she had not even seen his former friends.

"That's really strange. Did the academy's cafeteria change cooks?"

While she was muttering and kneading the dough, her peripheral vision was quietly cast on the academy students sitting outside, thinking that shouldn't be the case. There were only a lot of academy students eating here, but there was no way a cook was poaching her.

With such doubts in her mind, it wasn't until she saw Gu Jingcheng Xiu Mu returning home half a month later that she breathed a sigh of relief.

He quickly stepped forward and took his baggage from his hands, looking at his eyes so soft that they almost melted with water: "Why doesn't your husband come back with us?"

"Yes, Xiaomu and the others also bought a bullock cart. My mother agreed to it just to make it easier for you to travel to and from the city. Why haven't you even ridden in it a few times after buying it?"

Mrs. Li saw her precious son coming back from the house. She was happy and distressed at the same time when she came out and took Gu Jingcheng's hand to look at him.

Finally, he said in shock: "How come you lost so much weight in just half a month? But didn't you even eat well in the academy?"

Gu Jingcheng first explained: "The mountain leader has been teaching his son how to write articles these past few days. He is a very knowledgeable man. It is not easy for his son to get this opportunity. Naturally, he should sleep and forget food and learn all the knowledge he has given him.

That’s it.”

After he explained, he asked Mrs. Li and his voice became a little sadder: "It's because my son is not doing well, and I'm worrying my mother."

"Why are you talking to mother about this? You are mother's precious son. If mother is not worried about you, who else can you worry about?"

She listened carefully to what they were saying, and she was also aware of Gu Jingcheng's arrangements for going to Fucheng.

He came back this time mainly to pack some clothes and books in preparation for going to Fucheng.

Because he had to study there for half a month first, he had to bring some money to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstones.

In addition, it was the first time that he and the master met, so he had to bring some gifts to the old man. Even though he was setting off the day after tomorrow, it would still take a lot of effort to prepare everything.

"As mother said, why don't you give the master some money and let him buy whatever he wants. He has seen so much of the world, and I'm afraid what we buy won't suit his taste."

Mrs. Li gave Gu Jingcheng advice. Although she was older and didn't like to meddle in such nosy matters, she was always full of energy about Gu Jingcheng's affairs. The more she talked about it, the more energetic she became.

"Or maybe our family will spend money to buy him an original copy? Didn't you say before..."

"mother……"

Gu Jingcheng was listening to Mr. Li's words, with a dumbfounded expression on his face, "How can I buy this unique copy if I can buy it?

And although our family has a little money now, we can't afford such expenses. We can decide about gifts after our son arrives in Fucheng."

What he meant was that he should not give anything too expensive, otherwise he would be afraid that his master would think that he was not a "clean" and good student, and that he would be tainted with the stench of money before he had even passed the examination.

But don't give it too cheaply, otherwise the master will definitely feel that he is not respectful and prudent enough.

So, you really need to think about it carefully.

"Actually, I think..."

Su Xiaomu spoke silently next to him, "We can give him some food to the old man. Didn't my husband say that the master is a little old? As this man gets older, it will inevitably be harder for him to chew food than ordinary people. We might as well prepare some food."

Very easy to conquer..."

"What Xiaomu said makes sense, then I'll leave this matter to you. Mom believes in your craftsmanship, and the master will definitely like the food you make."

Li's eyes lit up after hearing Su Xiaomu's method, and then she looked at Gu Jingcheng again.

"It's a long journey for you. Mom has to bring everything for you, including quilts and mattresses. You've been in poor health since you were a child. If you get cold in Fucheng..."

"Oh, we also need to bring vegetables and rice grown by our family."

"Mom... I'm just going to Fucheng, so I don't need to make it so troublesome?

Today is just the capital, and you are so worried about it. If I go to the capital later, why don't you leave your home and shop behind and accompany me all the way?"

Gu Jingcheng had no choice but to stop Li from wanting to take everything with him, and he sighed in embarrassment.

"My mother's doing this has put a lot of pressure on my son. If my son could be more capable, my mother wouldn't have to worry about everything like this."

"You are already the most capable youngster in the village.

But you can't talk like that, forget it, if you think Mom is worried too much, then do it according to your own wishes, but only a little, and don't wrong yourself."

Mrs. Li just calmed down and remembered that her son had always been a man with ideas. She said no more, stood up and went back to their room to pack their clothes.

Su Xiaomu and Gu Jingcheng were left alone, looking at each other.

"Why do you want to help me bring gifts to the Master? Didn't you say before that we should live our own lives in the same way from now on?"

As soon as he met her, Gu Jingcheng's face turned cold, as if he was extremely unhappy.

"When did I say that we should never offend the river?

Even if two people are separated, can they still be friends? And I promised my mother that I will take good care of you, and I will not break my promise."

Su Xiaomu didn't understand his brain circuit.

Gu Jingcheng didn't believe what Su Xiaomu said. He said, "How can a person who wants to leave all the time take good care of me? After we arrive in Fucheng, we will be busy with our own affairs. I will not interfere with your affairs."

He said such cold words with a cold expression, and before Su Xiaomu could answer, he saw him stand up and leave.

She clenched her hands into fists behind her and really wanted to hit him in the face.
