When she woke up, her sister was no longer in the room.
When she ran outside, she saw smoke coming out of the kitchen and went over to see the sight of her sister cooking.

Mo Yan messily tied up her hair before running towards the pond.

She jogged along the path by the pond while breathing evenly.
When she reached the Lu family home, she saw Sir Lu doing tai chi in the courtyard.
As she greeted him, Lu Junming came running out.

He was still wearing those white silk clothes, without an outer robe.
The two of them ran around the pond, one after the other.
Mo Yan’s body was far too weak and she couldn’t run anymore after a single lap and squatted down to rest.
She looked at Lu Junming, who was still breathing easily and didn’t seem tired in the least.

“Rest for a bit and wait for me to come back,” Lu Junming said as she continued running.

Mo Yan simply sat down on the ground to rest as she waited for Lu Junming to return.
After that, he pulled her up and they started running again.

Mo Yan couldn’t bear it anymore after running three laps like this.
Lu Junming decided to leave her be and ran by himself until he ran ten laps.
Then, he brought Mo Yan into his courtyard.

Lu Junming wiped his sweat with a handkerchief and handed it to Mo Yan.
Afterwards, he went inside to grab the medicine and bandages.

When he untied the bandage, the wound was already clotting, so he didn’t dare touch it.
He applied some more medicine and replaced the dirty bandage with a clean one.

When Mo Yan was about to go home, Lu Junming ran to the kitchen and quickly brought out a wrap and handed it to Mo Yan, opening it to see that there were scrambled eggs and a few slices of meat inside.

“Try it!”

Mo Yan looked at it with surprise and delight, a big smile on her face.
But immediately her smile disappeared and she handed the wrap back to Lu Junming, “I’ll eat back home.”

All she was eating back home were salted vegetables and thin porridge.
Lu Junming ran back to the kitchen and brought out an identical wrap, shoving one of them at her, “Eat with me and tell me how good it is.
I fried these eggs myself.”

Lu Junming pulled her to sit under the tree in the courtyard and started eating.
Mo Yan had a bite and said, “It’d be better if you added some shredded salted vegetables and some of my mum’s sauce.”

“Then ask your mum to bring some over.
If it’s really good, she can send it every day, and we’ll pay you back for it.”

Mo Yan thought to herself, Lu Junming must think I only care about money.

But honestly, this wrap was really good and could probably be sold for a tidy sum, she just didn’t know where to sell it or who to sell it to.

This wrap was a bit too large for Mo Yan to finish.
But it would be too rude to give the rest of it to Lu Junming, and it would be a pity to throw it away, so she tucked the rest away and smiled at Lu Junming, “I’ll save it for my next meal.”

As she stood up and walked out of the Lu family’s courtyard, Lu Junming reminded her, “Remember to keep your hand away from water.”

Looking at her thin back, Sir Lu sighed and said, “Poor child.
She was born sickly and almost died of intestinal sickness when she was a child.”

“Why doesn’t her mother like her?” Lu Junming asked.

“It’s not that her mother doesn’t like her.
Farming households just don’t like daughters in general.
They say it’s useless to raise a girl well, since she’ll be someone else’s.”

“Since she will be someone else’s sooner or later, let’s ask her to come to ours!”

His grandfather laughed, “Silly boy, now you want to marry her?”

Lu Junming blushed, “No, I mean letting her live with us and be a member of our family.”

“They’re farmers, and we’re soldiers.
In terms of rank, they outrank us.” [3]

Post-edit note: Has anyone thought about how many trees there are in this setting? Because I swear they come up way too often.
[1] But…it has a happy ending?
[2] The governing official of Chenzhong Village.
That’s his name.
[3] I thought soldiers weren’t part of the original ranking.
And there is no way the Mo family, a family of poor farmers, outrank the Lu family.
