“I’m really not sure. It seems that I have to ask around.” Mrs. Qiao shook her head.

After that, she swept her gaze across the crowd and said, “All of you, put some effort into this matter and find out.”

Finally, she looked at Mrs. Liu. “You go and ask Sixth Aunt Gu. She is very well-informed.”

“I know, Mother. I’ll go over tomorrow.” Mrs. Liu nodded.

They chatted for a while and agreed to have a hotpot party here on the evening of the 30th. After that, the couple went home.

In the blink of an eye, the 15th day of the first month of the lunar year passed. The village had nothing noteworthy happening except the constant smell of meat. As for visiting relatives, there was no point in that this year.

As for the Yu family’s eldest granddaughter, the Gu family had inquired about her. She was pretty and pleasant. Not only was she literate, but she was also good at embroidery.

The only pity was that she didn’t know how to cook and had never been in the fields before. This was also the reason why she was not getting married.

The reason they knew about Gu Chengye was simple. They had learned about him from the matchmakers, who exchanged information with each other.

On the 15th day of the month, the two youngsters went to town to meet with the matchmaker, and the marriage was quickly fixed.

After the 15th, everyone was anxious because the weather was still so cold, and the snow showed no signs of melting. If this continued, they were afraid that they would not be able to catch up with the spring planting season.

After all, with such heavy snow, even if it melted, it would still take half a month for the ground to dry before they could plant.

But no matter how anxious they were, they could do nothing. The village chief could only bring people to clear the snow again, especially on the main roads.

On the 8th of February, Gu Zishan got married. Zhou Ying gave her a set of clothes made of material according to Gu Ziqiu’s standards, and she added a hundred pounds of white potatoes.

The dowry prepared by the family was also simple. It was just 500 pounds of white sweet potatoes, but Hu Chun was more than satisfied.

As for the betrothal gift, she only found out later that Hu Chun had given her six taels of silver for a set of silver jewelry and nothing else.

The snow began to melt rapidly in March.

At the same time, the two wells in the village also began to produce large amounts of water.

By April, the snow had melted entirely, and the river started flowing again. However, the water level was half as low compared to before.

In the middle of April, Zhou Ying and Gu Chengrui began to teach the villagers how to plant sweet potatoes and chili seedlings.

They went to help out at the manor after teaching the villagers.

However, as soon as they entered the manor, they found that they all had their heads drooped and looked depressed.

Gu Chengrui grabbed Li Si, who was on patrol, and asked, “Did something happen in the manor?”

“There’s a cellar full of frozen sweet potato seedlings, and they can’t be planted any more.” Li Si replied.

“What? They froze?!” Zhou Ying exclaimed.

“Yes, they all went bad.” Li Si replied.

Gu Chengrui and Zhou Ying immediately rushed to the cellar where the seedlings were stored. As expected, there were many rotten white sweet potatoes on the ground.

However, now was not the time to be distressed, so the two had to go to the field to help to manage the seedlings. They would only have to transplant a few more seedlings like last year.

“Mistress, I’m really sorry. We didn’t expect…” Chang Shun, who was planting the seedlings, apologized with a face full of self-blame when he saw them coming over.

“It’s not all your fault. Last winter was too cold, and we must learn from this lesson.” Zhou Ying said.

“Yes, I’ll be more careful in the future.”

“Then hurry up and get to work. Otherwise, we’ll lose even more if we don’t plant at the optimal time.”

“Understood.” After Chang Shun finished speaking, he directed everyone to get busy.

At this moment, Manager Liu walked over. “You’re here just in time to let you know about something. I’ll be leaving when the sweet potato seedlings grow.” “But why? It’s so much better to stay here.” Gu Chengrui quickly said.

The couple could have less to worry about with them guarding the manor; they did not have to worry about the safety of the manor..
