Chapter 170 Heartbroken

Two equally handsome horses were running on the official road. The ones on them were Huo Dong and Liu Yang. In three days, Liu Yuhan would be coming of age.

Huo Dong had already sent Huo Er to Haiyu Island to pick up the Liu family. They had agreed to meet in Changle County the day before Liu Yuhan's coming-of-age ceremony.

Liu Yuhan didn't know about this. She hadn't been to the pharmacy for several days because she was busy recently. She didn't know if her master would be angry with her.

The busy farming season is about to begin in two days, and even the school will have to close for 10 days.

She often visits the watermelon fields, fearing insect pests. Aphids and seed flies are common during the seedling stage, and she worries about any other problems in the middle and late stages.

Although aphids are small, they can cause great harm. They rely on sucking liquid to satisfy their hunger. Their feces are called honeydew, which ants love to eat. It can contaminate the leaves and easily spread viruses.

Seed flies are even more troublesome. They have a wide and varied diet and will bore into the seedlings from the roots, chewing their way up the rhizomes, causing the rhizomes to rot and the seedlings to die.

There is no better way than to remove the weeds around the melon garden. I can only take some wood ash and some medicine powder and sprinkle it on it.

Everyone who had the manpower went out to help. It was a truly heartbreaking and difficult time. Fortunately, we finally made it through. A few watermelon seedlings were damaged, but the others grew successfully and are now approaching maturity.

Around noon on July 6th, several horse-drawn carriages arrived at Fulai Village. Several people on horseback, upon seeing Huo Dong and Liu Yang, greeted them. But upon realizing they had distinguished guests on board, they simply greeted them and walked away.

The Liu family was pleasantly surprised!!

Old Lady Jiang and Liu Daling hurriedly invited the Liu family and Huo Dong to sit in the main hall, which was completely packed. Everyone introduced themselves to each other while Grandma Qin, Aunt Bai Zhi, and the others went about preparing the food.

The great-grandmother was invited to sit in the main seat. She asked Liu Yuhan to sit next to her. They hadn't seen each other for more than a year. The little girl had grown up and became tall and beautiful.

Liu Yuhan squatted obediently next to her great-grandmother and talked to her. Her grandparents next to her also interjected from time to time, and everyone was having a great time.

Huo Dong looked at Liu Yuhan opposite him and felt happy in his heart. He hadn't seen her for half a year. He could have come again tomorrow, but he couldn't control himself and came here today.

Liu Yang has been trapped in the yard by a group of kids who keep pestering him to talk about his military service.

Xiao Si and Xiao Wu took Liu Zhi and Liu Hong, while Liu Yao took Liu Qing, and introduced them to their eldest and second brothers.

Liu Hong is one year older than Liu Yang. They are of similar age and became familiar with each other immediately. The two of them couldn't help but discuss things with each other in the yard.

This lively scene was what Liu Yuhan saw when he walked out of the main hall. Liu Yang and Liu Hong were sparring, while a few younger children watched and applauded. Lightning and Laibao, now taller, were happily running around among them.

It’s so lively and nice.

Liu Yuhan personally cooked a few dishes and because there were so many people, they set up three tables. All three tables were placed in the main room, and everyone enjoyed the meal happily.

The room has been cleaned up. After dinner, I told my great-grandmother and the others to go and rest first. The younger ones can make do with sleeping in the same place. If there is not enough space, they can sleep on the floor. It doesn't matter now that it's hot.

Liu Yuhan entered the room, closed the door, entered the space, walked to the door that had not been opened for a long time, opened the box, and used another smaller box to put all the account books and "secrets" into the small box and took it to the warehouse.

Seeing today that her grandmother had aged a lot in just one year, she felt very uncomfortable. She didn't want her to have any regrets. She hoped that they could return to the capital as soon as possible and the Liu family could recover as soon as possible, so she decided to throw out this bomb.

Liu Yuhan found Liu Lu.

"Brother Lu, go and invite Brother Huo Dong over. There's no need to alert anyone else. I'll be waiting for you in the warehouse."

"Okay lady."

Huo Dong and Liu Lu entered the warehouse and Liu Yuhan closed the door.

"Brother Huo Dong, Brother Lu, I'm the only one who knows about this, so I don't want anyone else in the family to know about it."

"Brother Huo Dong, open the box and take a look, and you'll know."

"Okay." Seeing Liu Yuhan so serious, Huo Dong carefully opened the box and slowly flipped through the books, one after another. His brows slowly furrowed and his eyes became cold.

Liu Lu also wanted to go forward and take a look, but was stopped by Liu Yuhan.

"Don't look at it. I asked you to come in just to let you know about this matter. You don't need to pay attention to anything else."

The brother and sister waited quietly for Huo Dong to flip through the pages. He must have found the Huo family's book. His hands trembled slightly, and he was filled with sadness. Liu Yuhan felt a little sorry for him. She had forced these things on him. He was only 20 years old! Why did he have to endure so much?

But looking at this dynasty, apart from her family, the only person she can find and trust is him.

Huo Dong packed the books and closed the box. He calmed the turmoil in his heart, the bitterness in his eyes, took a deep breath, and turned around.

"Xiaohan, how did you get the things in this box?"

"Brother Huo Dong, when we were fleeing from the famine, we passed by a bandit's den and got it in the cellar."

"Did anyone see you get the stuff?"

"Never."

"Has anyone looked through the contents of this box?"

"No. I just flipped through a few pages and then put it away."

"Yeah. I'll take the box back home now."

"Tomorrow, I will come again tomorrow. I will pass by the county town and pick up Doctor Liu and the others."

"I go first."

"it is good."

Huo Dong went out first, and Liu Yuhan couldn't help but catch up with him and grabbed his collar.

"Brother Huo Dong, are you okay?"

Huo Dong looked at Liu Yuhan deeply.

What kind of eyes were those? Liu Yuhan saw pain and helplessness, forbearance and sorrow in those eyes. Her heart suddenly ached, and she resisted the urge to hug him.

"No problem. Thank you for giving me these. They are very important to me."

Huo Dong took the box and left with his men.

"Sister, Brother Huo Dong looks so serious. I've never seen him like this before. Is there something important written inside?"

"Hmm. I wonder if that will be of any use to him at his grandfather's house."

"Brother Lu, only the three of us know about this. I know you have your own dreams, and you will definitely take the imperial examination and enter the court in the future."

"I hope that no matter what, you will keep your original heart and do everything with a clear conscience and without regrets."

"Sister, I understand. I promise you."

"Yes. Grandfather's situation will eventually turn around. You still have a long way to go. Just look further ahead and walk more steadily."

"it is good."

"The weather is too hot. Take those kids to rest. Don't hang around outside."

"it is good."

Liu Yuhan returned to the room, entered the space, filled many wooden basins and buckets with water and put them into the freezer, leaving them in the room when she went to bed at night.

She was thinking about Huo Dong's eyes just now, and was a little absent-minded when filling the water, and her clothes were wet.
