Yang Xi took a walk, mainly looking for the road to leave. She didn’t go far. When she turned around, she saw Zhou Yu coming towards her, and his heart felt warm.

Zhou Yu came over and supported his wife. His wife was his spiritual support. Whenever he was tormented, he would think of his wife. His feelings for his wife were integrated into his soul. Without his wife by his side, he could not concentrate on anything he did.

Zhou Yu held his wife’s hand and said, “It’s too cold outside, let’s go back.”

Yang Xi walked slowly and lowered her voice, “It’s just right for you to come out, let’s chat quietly for a while.”

Zhou Yu paused and walked with his wife to a place without straw sheds, “Okay.”

The two did not go far. Even though the Wu family was looking after their mother and child, they were still worried about them. They walked to a sheltered place but away from the straw hut before they spoke.

Yang Xi took the initiative to say, “I have many relatives in modern times. I am the second child in the family, and I have an older brother.”

She was born accidentally and her family was fined a lot of money.

Zhou Yu reincarnated into the modern era with his memories. He always felt alienated from his modern parents. He felt uncomfortable when he thought of his modern parents and family. His parents were very tolerant of him and thought that he was just cold-tempered. In fact, he just didn’t know how to get along with his parents.

Zhou Yu was silent for a while before saying, “I also have many relatives, and they are very tolerant of me.”

Yang Xi felt sorry for Zhou Yu. She had no memory of her ancient life in the modern world. She grew up like a newborn baby and could live with her parents and family without any grudges. But Zhou Yu couldn’t!

Yang Xi changed the subject, “I majored in mechanics. I can make a sled that saves more effort. I’ll draw a picture for you later?”

She didn’t need to draw any plans if she did it herself. She could already make simple products without drawing. This was all due to her experience.

Zhou Yu noticed that his wife was hesitant to speak in the straw hut, so he smiled and said, “Okay.”

Yang Xi, “What about you?”

Zhou Yu said nostalgically, “I studied physics.”

Yang Xi raised an eyebrow, “Somewhat expected.”

She studied mechanics purely out of interest, but Zhou Yu had a purpose; this person must have studied more than just physics.

Zhou Yu held his wife’s hand and said, “I have memories of reincarnation, and I always wonder if I would come back, so I have learned a lot.”

Yang Xi felt that Zhou Yu had learned more than just the basics. He was a true academic genius as he could pass the imperial examination!

Neither of them mentioned their modern relatives specifically. They deliberately avoided mentioning them because the more they recalled the past, the more uncomfortable they felt.

They talked about what they needed to prepare and the direction of departure in the future. The north was not within consideration. In the future, the various tribes on the grassland would go south to attack the Central Plains. In addition, the rioters were gradually forming a team, so the future battlefield would be in the north.

So instead of returning to their hometown, they wanted to go to the more stable state capital.

When the couple returned to the shed, Wu Shan and his wife were already waiting. Wu Shan’s wife had rough skin and looked very old. In ancient times, people looked much older than their actual age, especially the common people.

Wu Shan introduced: “This is my wife Li.”

Li Shi was very reserved, “Zhou Gongzhi, no, Brother Zhou, hello, my sister-in-law.”

Yang Xi smiled and said, “I’ve always wanted to talk to my sister-in-law, but it’s really inconvenient at home. I’d like to trouble you to come over. Please take a seat.”

Li Shi was cheerful, but not stupid. She could tell the difference between sincerity and falsehood. She felt relieved and less reserved. “I heard from my husband that you only had food, so I thought of sending some dried vegetables over. Don’t mind, sister-in-law.”

Yang Xi’s mind turned several corners. The Wu family knew her family’s situation very well. “I’m in a dilemma. Thank you, sister-in-law.”

Li Shi’s smile became more sincere. She was quite scared when she came here. Even though the Zhou family was in trouble, they were educated people. They were just illiterate peasants. “Don’t be polite. I’ll bring it over after you finish eating.”

At this time, Zhou Xiaodi and Zhou Xiaomei came back. They picked up a lot of firewood, which made Wu Shan and his wife look at the Zhou family with higher regard. Not everyone can recover so quickly, and so they admired them more.

The thatched hut was not big, so Wu Shan and the other man got up and left.

Zhou Xiaodi just excitedly took out a lump from the firewood, ‘Brother, look, can we trade this for something?”

Yang Xi, “.”
