"Hahaha, Qingxi, you and Young Master Yang are truly the great benefactors of our Ten Li Pu," the Village Chief's voice suddenly came from behind. The crowd around them quickly shifted their attention from Young Master Yang to her.
"Village Chief, you're here? I haven't done much, just made things a bit easier for everyone; it's nothing special."
"What do you mean it's nothing? You've helped Young Master Yang and the kids a lot."
Zhang Wuliang had been in a great mood lately, feeling as if he was floating while walking. It's hard not to feel good when good things are happening.
"Alright, alright, everyone disperse now and head home. Come back later; otherwise, if the adults want to leave and we're blocking the door, what will that look like? Standing a bit farther away is fine too."
After Zhang Wuliang spoke, the kids indeed began to move away. The adults were figures of authority in the village, and just hearing about them felt imposing.
In an instant, the kids retreated but were reluctant to leave.
Just as they stepped back, Yang Yichen and the Wen Family left with the official who brought the good news.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, the Village Chief reminded them, or they might have blocked the way and offended someone important.
They patted their chests in relief; it was quite thrilling.
As the group delivering the good news gradually moved out of sight, the atmosphere became lively again.
"Wow, that scared me! I just saw an official."
"Officials are different; when they look over, I don't even dare to breathe."
Indeed, it was understandable for farmers who had never seen such grandeur to feel intimidated by someone they had only heard about.
At this moment, some quick-witted individuals reacted first and cheerfully approached Yang Yichen. "Madam Yang, Yang Scholar, congratulations!"
"Yes, congratulations!" The chorus of voices continued for quite some time.
"Thank you, Big Kid. I'll host a banquet later to celebrate Yichan's high school graduation." The Wen Family was in high spirits, waving their fair and delicate hands, having made up their minds.
"Great, great!" The villagers had no objections. With a family like the Yangs hosting a banquet, there would definitely be plenty of good food and drinks, allowing everyone to indulge.
In this place, it was indeed a customary practice to hold a grand feast for such joyous occasions, making it normal to invite guests for a flowing banquet.
Thus, there was no question of taking advantage; it was simply the host's joy and willingness to do so.
"Then please invite all the Big Kids to come eat!" The Wen Family smiled broadly.
Gradually, those offering their congratulations began to disperse, leaving only Zhang Wuliang and Liu Qingxi behind.
"Village Chief, I will be living in Village from now on. I will need your help with many things, so you must come by later."
"Of course! I will definitely come. If you need anything, just let me know. Now, you two chat slowly; I’ll take my leave." Zhang Wuliang was not oblivious; he could clearly sense that Liu Qingxi and the Wen Family were closer.
The Wen Family was indeed waiting for everyone to leave so they could discuss their own topics with Liu Qingxi.
"Safe travels, Village Chief!"
"Take care, Village Chief!"
Then, only Yang Yichen and her son remained with Liu Qingxi.
"Congratulations, Aunt! Congratulations, Brother Yang!" The girl smiled brightly as she stepped forward.
Dressed in a green outfit, she complemented the beautiful scenery of the lush mountains behind her. Her radiant smile dazzled both mother and son.
"Qingxi, come inside quickly! Oh, you have no idea..."
Wen Family was holding Liu Qingxi's hand while recounting Yang Yichen's embarrassing moments: "He was in poor health and couldn't go out, yet he insisted on going out, occasionally bringing someone back."
And those people he brought back were Anan and the others, who have now all grown into his capable assistants.
Yang Yichen blushed for the first time, thinking, "Mom, could you not do this? Why do you always bring up these embarrassing stories in front of the girl I like?"
He wanted to make a good impression in front of her!
However, all he could hear was Liu Qingxi's melodious laughter: "Aunt, was he really that cute back then? It's so funny!"
"Indeed! It's a pity I was also unwell at that time and couldn't spend much time with him. Looking back, it's quite regrettable. But in the future, I will have plenty of time and energy. Whenever Yichan gets married and has children, I'll be responsible for taking care of them."
The conversation became increasingly intense, touching on topics of childbirth and marriage.
"By the way, Qingxi, what kind of person are you looking for? You're a young lady now; it's time to consider your marriage. Although there are no elders at home, Aunt can help you out and take charge."
"Don't feel embarrassed; every Young Lady needs to get married. If you don't mind, Aunt can act as your elder."
After asking the question, Wen Family kept a close eye on her stubborn son.
Sure enough, his expression tightened suddenly, his muscles tensed up, and his ears perked up, afraid to miss any word from Liu Qingxi's response.
Liu Qingxi was momentarily stunned; she hadn't expected Wen Family to ask such a question.
She had never really considered her own lifelong matters. Her current goal was to work hard and promote the new construction methods for Earthen House. As for future goals, she would take them one step at a time.
But with Wen Family bringing it up, it seemed there was indeed such an issue at hand. Born in this era, one must adhere to its rules.
After the New Year, she would be fourteen years old; at fifteen, she would come of age and could get married.
Many girls in the countryside start dating at the age of thirteen or fourteen, making arrangements for their future partners, and after reaching maturity, they may marry in a year or two.
After thinking for a long time, Liu Qingxi's requirements for her future partner remain vague. She believes in the principle of mutual attraction and compatible personalities. Of course, she has one more requirement: "Aunt, I think he should be responsible."
The Wen Family nodded; their son was certainly responsible.
"He must accept my status as an orphan."
"Yes, that's not a problem." Both she and her son did not care about each other's background or status; what mattered most was affection.
"He also needs to accept Yan."
This was even less of an issue; it was not a concern at all.
As Liu Qingxi continued to express her thoughts, the Wen Family paid no mind to her other requests.
The more they listened, the more they felt she was suitable for their son. Although the condition that her future husband could not restrict her freedom to conduct business was relatively strict—especially for someone born and raised among the Western Moon People—it didn't matter to the Wen Family and Yang Yichen. They had experienced the ups and downs of life and understood the realities of the world, so they were not concerned with such superficial titles.
As for Yang Yichen? His heart tightened with each of Liu Qingxi's answers. If they matched his expectations, he would feel relieved; if not, he would reflect on himself and strive to change quickly.
Unknowingly, Liu Qingxi was led by the Wen Family to answer many questions, including some of her true inner thoughts.
