Before going to bed, Zhou Heng reminded Su Hua, "Ah Hua, you have to count to 50 before you can sleep today, understand?"

Su Hua nodded. "Yes, yes, I know."

At night, Zhou Heng slept with Su Chong, so he could teach Su Chong how to count.

Su Chong and Su Hua learned diligently and focused on counting. Su Xiaoling also counted when she heard that. After counting to 50, she closed her eyes in satisfaction and went to sleep.

Su Xiaolu heard her mutter, "Little Brother Heng is so nice."

Was Zhou Heng very nice? He was, indeed. Although he was a little reserved, a little boring, and not much of a talker, he was very gentle.

The night grew quiet.

Madam Zhao leaned against Su Sanlang and said gently, "Father, Heng is really smart. He already knows so much at such a young age. If he goes to school, I think it won't be long before he becomes a student. I think he's smarter than many of the students in our village."

Every time she saw Zhou Heng, Madam Zhao felt that this child would definitely become magnanimous. He knew so much and could recognize many words. He could even read articles and explain the meaning behind them.

Su Sanlang paused and replied, "Heng does know a lot. Perhaps he will leave when his legs recover. Xiaolu said that Heng will be able to leave after the new year."

"So soon, aye... I can't bear to part with him, but it would be good for him to get well soon."

Madam Zhao sighed and said.

Although she could not bear to let Zhou Heng go back, it was only right. She could not hope for his injuries to heal slower just because she wanted him to teach her children. Zhou Heng was also a child. It was very sad that he could not walk, so it was best for him to recover quickly.

Su Sanlang nodded. "We've been sowing vegetables for the past few days. I'll bring the kids into the mountains to play and see if we can catch some wild chickens or something. Last time, when we entered the city, we told Butler Sun that we wouldn't sell chickens and ducks anymore. Butler Sun was pretty sad. He said that the young ladies and young masters of the Sun family especially like to eat the chickens and ducks we sell. If we can catch them again, we'll send one to the Sun family."

Madam Zhao nodded and said, "Alright, I'll listen to you. However, you have to be careful. It's fine if you can't catch them."

In the past two years, the family's lives had already stabilized. Madam Zhao did not want Su Sanlang to take the risk.

The Sun family was very generous in their dealings. Apart from business, they already had some personal connections.

Butler Sun was the one who named his two daughters.

But no matter what the connections, in Madam Zhao's heart, Su Sanlang was the most important. She wanted him to be safe.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Su Sanlang hugged Madam Zhao and kissed her forehead. He said gently, "It's getting late. Go to sleep."

Madam Zhao nodded slightly.

Two more busy days followed as they sowed the seeds.

Su Sanlang had to prepare firewood for the winter, so he had to go into the mountains every day.
