After the meal, several people felt warm all over, and their fatigue dissipated, but Yan remained increasingly silent.
At this time, it was getting late, and they could not return home, so they decided to stay the night and head back in the morning.
Having come to the county town with great difficulty, Liu Qingxi was unwilling to just go back without exploring the bustling streets and experiencing the local culture.
"Grandpa, Village Chief, I want to take a stroll. Why don't you all go back to the inn to rest first?"
"That won't do! You're a Young Lady, it's too unsafe for you to wander alone. I'll go with you; I haven't had a proper look around yet!" Zhang Wuliang could not possibly feel at ease letting a Young Lady roam the streets by herself.
This place was unfamiliar, and since they had come all this way, he also planned to buy some gifts for the children to take back.
As for Yan, he never had a habit of spending money. While traveling, with the Qin Family managing the household accounts, he did bring a few Ten Wen, but he was reluctant to spend it.
Thus, only Liu Qingxi and Zhang Wuliang went out shopping while Yan stayed at the inn, and the coachman went to feed the horses.
As the sun set behind the mountains and darkness fell, the number of pedestrians on the street did not decrease; instead, it became even more lively. Perhaps this was just how life was in a big city.
Unlike Village, where people ate early and went to bed early, adhering to the good habit of rising with the sun.
Seeing such a dazzling array of items for the first time, Liu Qingxi walked past each stall, unable to resist some trinkets. Of course, exquisite items came with higher prices.
In the end, she picked out several uniquely styled hairpins and a few toys, spending several dozen wen.
Following Liu Qingxi, Zhang Wuliang also bought similar hair flowers and hair ties for his daughter. The bright colors and unique designs were exactly what young girls loved these days.
Naturally, Liu Qingxi did not forget about her foodie friend Liu Qingyan. She bought various snacks from roadside vendors. By the time they returned to the inn, it was completely dark except for some lights along the street.
Lying in an unfamiliar room on an unfamiliar bed, although it was larger and warmer than Ten Li Pu, Liu Qingxi felt an emptiness in her heart.
Without a sense of belonging, she felt like a drifting water plant, swaying aimlessly with the flow of the water.
Then she thought of Liu Qingyan. Since coming to this world, the siblings had never been apart. She wondered if they had gotten used to living in the Yang Family, and whether he would kick off the blankets at night.
Would Kid miss her so much that he couldn't sleep?
The scene shifted again, revealing Yang Yichen's face. The boy's gentle smile, his pale complexion compared to others, and his long fingers.
She couldn't quite identify the feeling; all she knew was that when she was with Yang Yichen, there was an inexplicable closeness that made her heart relax involuntarily.
Next were the matters she needed to handle personally, directing Zhang Sanyou and a few others to repair houses for the people of Sanhe Village.
One important reason she agreed to the repairs was that it was her opportunity!
This was her perfect moment to showcase her Masterful Craftsmanship skills.
If she could help these already dilapidated houses survive through the winter, then the ten or so houses involved in the Sanhe Village Ten Li Pu fraud case would finally come to an end in her hands.
At that point, it would be hard not to gain fame. More importantly, there were still over ten houses to be built after the New Year.
If she could secure all of them, then promoting her new construction methods would be a natural progression!
As night deepened, moonlight streamed through the square windows, casting playful shadows from the trees onto the girl's sleeping face.
The night felt long. Gradually, the noise outside faded into silence.
When the first rays of morning sunlight shone in, the girl on the bed stirred, her fan-like eyelashes fluttering as she slowly opened her drowsy eyes. She raised her hands slightly to shield her eyes and looked up.
A night had passed, and he had fallen asleep while thinking about things.
After quickly tidying himself up, he pushed open the door, and Yan and Zhang Wuliang were already waiting at the entrance.
To get home early, breakfast was simple, consisting of some items bought yesterday, and of course, the most important thing, his household registration document Liu Qingxi was kept close.
The first visit to the county town ended so quickly. On the way back, Liu Qingxi felt increasingly cheerful, while Yan remained silent, as if his granddaughter's smile had dealt him a heavy blow.
Having lived for more than half his life, he truly felt like a failure! At that moment, a deep sense of defeat washed over him.
After two hours of travel, they finally returned home in the afternoon.
At the entrance stood a white figure gazing into the distance. Liu Qingxi felt inexplicably sad, with tears welling in his eyes.
The two figures were none other than Liu Qingyan, who was anxiously waiting, and Yang Yichen, who accompanied her.
“Qingxi, you’re back! How did it go?” The boy's voice was gentle with a hint of charm.
Liu Qingxi nodded. “It went smoothly. Yan, weren’t you supposed to stay at Aunt Wen’s for a while? Why are you waiting here?”
The kid pouted and didn’t respond, holding onto Liu Qingxi’s hand tightly.
A light laugh followed, along with an explanation from Yang Yichen: “He missed you. As soon as class ended today, he insisted on coming back to wait for you!”
Tears slowly gathered in the kid's eyes as he refused to let go.
Liu Qingxi chuckled and ruffled his hair. “Alright now, Yan is a good boy. Didn’t your sister come back? Real men shouldn’t cry; oh dear, do you want to shed golden tears? Alright, alright, be good!”
"By the way, sister also brought you gifts, fun things and delicious treats. Do you want to try some?"
The child had tears in their eyes and suddenly hiccupped, holding back their mouth, "Where are they?"
"Liu Qingxi: "As expected, a foodie!"
She pushed the door open and ignored Liu Qingyan, who was lost in the food.
At this point, she felt she had resolved a major concern in her heart. However, Yang Yichen was somewhat puzzled by Liu Qingxi's decision to help the Liu Family.
"Qingxi, why are you helping them? It's not a simple matter," Yang Yichen said after hearing reports from his subordinates that the houses in Sanhe Village had little chance of being saved or were not worth saving.
The main structure of the houses was still there, but they were severely damaged. Even if repaired, it wouldn't change the inherent nature and rules of things unless there were special abilities involved.
"I can't completely fix them, but I can guarantee that within two months, it will be possible. The difficulties now come with future opportunities; I can't let them slip away!" Liu Qingxi explained playfully.
Yang Yichen had an epiphany; no wonder Liu Qingxi was so kind to help repair the houses. His clever mind suddenly understood everything.
"If you need any help, just let me know. After all, I know some people!"
"Don't worry, I won't hesitate to trouble you when the time comes. Now, I’ll go inform Uncle Sanyou and the others to get started as soon as possible!"
