Chapter 142 New Seeds
He sighed deeply and said in a heavy tone: “Mingzhu, uncle has always felt that he owes too much to you and your brother.”

“When your parents passed away, I, as your uncle, was so incompetent that I couldn’t even help you much… Whenever I think of this, I feel so bad!”

After saying this, Gu Shan couldn’t help but shake his head, his face full of regret and self-blame.

He took a deep breath and then slowly said, “I still remember that period of time later, when you were sick and bedridden, I was so anxious and helpless.”

“Although I wanted to take good care of you two siblings, I was ultimately unable to provide you with adequate care and protection.”

He sighed deeply, a trace of guilt appeared on his face, and continued:
“But the good news is that everything is gradually moving in a good direction.”

“Especially when I saw that you finally found your own happiness, I felt extremely relieved in my heart.”

“This way, even if I unfortunately pass away one day in the future, I will still be able to face your parents.”

At this point, Gu Shan’s eyes turned red and tears welled up in his eyes.

He sincerely believed that he owed Gu Mingzhu too much.

As her uncle, he should have taken on the responsibility of taking good care of her and her siblings.

However, over the past year or so, not only had I failed to provide them with much substantial help and care, but I had been repeatedly helped by the brother and sister.

To be honest, if Mingzhu hadn’t been there to support and help him, how could he have made such a huge fortune? ?
Looking at the man in front of her whose face was full of regret and self-blame, Gu Mingzhu felt as if her throat was suddenly blocked by a ball of cotton, and even breathing became a little difficult.

She cleared her throat vigorously, trying to make her voice sound less trembling, and called softly, “Uncle.”

Unfortunately, before she could finish her words, she burst into tears, and her tears flowed out like a flood.

She slowly raised her hand, her movements as gentle as a feather, and gently placed it on Gu Shan’s back, which seemed a little hunched due to the erosion of time.

Every pat felt like a warm spring breeze, as if such a simple gesture could bring some comfort and strength to Gu Shan.

Time passed minute by minute, and after a long time, Gu Mingzhu’s mood finally calmed down a little.

She took a deep breath and continued, “Uncle, let’s just let the things that happened in the past go with the wind and don’t mention them anymore.”

“Actually, it wasn’t that you didn’t want to help our family, it was just that you really wanted to but didn’t have the ability to do so!”

“The reason behind this is clear to me, my brother Minghua, my parents, and everyone else. No one has ever blamed you in the slightest.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Shan’s lips began to tremble slightly involuntarily.

He opened his mouth, as if he had a thousand words to say, but in the end, he couldn’t utter a single word.

His eyes, which were already cloudy, were now wet with tears.

The crystal tears kept rolling in the eye sockets, like two shaky pearls, as if they would slide down the cheeks at the next moment.

Seeing this scene, Gu Mingzhu’s heart suddenly tightened, and she hurriedly spoke to comfort her uncle again:
“Shanshan and Minmin are so worry-free now. Not only are they very sensible and obedient, but their academic performance is also very good!” As she said this, she raised her hand and gave a thumbs up to express her praise for the two children.

“Plus, your health is getting better day by day. From now on, as long as our family works together and works hard together, our lives will definitely become more and more prosperous and better!”

As for marriage, she and Song Ze did not put it on the agenda at the moment.

First of all, the country’s current food problem has not yet been completely solved.

After all, food is the most important thing for people, and grain is a major issue concerning the national economy and people’s livelihood.

In this case, one’s marriage will naturally have to be put on hold for a while.

Secondly, although they have officially started dating, it is really hard to predict to what extent their relationship will develop in the future.

Love is full of variables, and it is a bit too early to talk about marriage now.

Because of this, whether it is Song Ze himself or other members of the Song family, everyone knows the situation clearly and no one will urge them to get married quickly.

Even Gu Shan thought so. He felt that marriage could not be rushed: “You two have just started dating not long ago, so the dowry and other things need to be carefully prepared slowly.”

Even though her biological parents have passed away, she still has him as her uncle!
When it comes to such an important life event as his niece’s marriage, he will always keep it in mind and do his best to handle all related matters.

Gu Shan has always been a man of his words.

Sure enough, less than two days after returning to the village, he couldn’t wait to start preparing for the important task of making furniture for Gu Mingzhu.

At first, he had planned to go out and buy the finished products directly, but then he thought that doing so seemed to lack sincerity.

After careful consideration, he resolutely purchased a batch of high-quality wood and decided to carve it carefully at home.

When Gu Mingzhu and Song Ze learned about this, they both chose to respect Gu Shan’s idea and did not stop him.

Because they knew in their hearts that this was a loving gesture from Gu Shan, and if they forcibly stopped him from doing this, Gu Shan would probably be unhappy.

Moreover, Gu Mingzhu soon plunged into a new round of busy affairs and had no time to pay attention to other things.

The system cultivated several cold-resistant crops for her, but she didn’t have enough money.

So, whether it is the 10,000-acre base or the seedling base, she has been working non-stop for two months and has planted all the available areas in the two bases.

During these two months, she planted and sold crops at the same time, and achieved a few small goals here and there, and finally exchanged them for the seeds of those crops.

After getting the seeds, she contacted Dean Zheng without delay.

Dean Zheng has been very busy in the past few months, but when he heard Gu Mingzhu say that there were new seeds, he immediately dropped everything he was doing and rushed back to Baisha Village!
