"Sorry to keep you waiting, Village Chief."
"No, no, no." Zhang Wuliang repeatedly waved his hands in denial. Even though Yang Yichen has now been promoted to a Fifth Rank official, there was no need for him to be so polite, even if he was just a county magistrate and a Scholar before.
However, given his current status, it was refreshing for Zhang Wuliang to see such humility.
After all, who doesn't appreciate respect from someone capable? He still calls himself Uncle?
"You are now a high official and the pride of our Ten Li Pu. We are all very happy for you. This time you are back; feel free to give any orders," Zhang Wuliang said, fully aware that with Yang Yichen, who is not entirely a Ten Li Pu native, the village would flourish.
Thus, the villagers always held Yang Yichen in high regard, no matter when or where.
Even though this young man was born in the town, having lived here makes him one of them.
Fortunately, Yang Yichen never looked down on them and considered himself part of Ten Li Pu; they were already very satisfied with that.
"Village Chief, I have an imperial order and must set off for the capital soon. I came mainly to take my mother with me to the capital." After all, in reality, he only had Wen Family as his relative.
Zhang Wuliang's expression momentarily froze before he understood: "Of course. It's just you two at home; you should go together and enjoy life."
"Yes, Village Chief. After I leave, there are many matters in the village that need your attention." Yang Yichen hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Especially regarding the house. Qingxi's property is halfway built now; she has decided to go with me this time. You will need to take care of the remaining matters."
After all, such a large project wouldn't be reassuring without someone reliable overseeing it.
Zhang Wuliang earnestly advised him: "Don't worry; Qingxi has already discussed this with us. However, this girl going with you adds quite a bit of trouble; you should take good care of her."
Yang Yichen nodded slightly, knowing that Zhang Wuliang genuinely cared for Liu Qingxi. Although his fiancée would take good care of herself, having another person looking out for her wouldn't hurt.
The most important matters he discussed with Zhang Wuliang and others were all related to Liu Qingxi.
He also sincerely thanked the other clan elders.
At this moment, only Yang Yichen, Wen Family, Liu Qingxi, and several respected elders led by Zhang Wuliang remained in the room; polite small talk was naturally unavoidable.
Overall, it was a joyful occasion. Zhang Wuliang also understood what Liu Qingxi had mentioned earlier; it turned out she wanted to travel for more reasons than just following Yang Yichen.
This was understandable; Liu Qingxi had no family and had developed such a close relationship with Yang Yichen's family that they could be considered one family. There was nothing wrong with going together.
As for this girl, she broke many conventions so much that some societal constraints did not fully apply to her.
When Yang Yichen asked Zhang Wuliang and others to do so many things for him, he naturally didn't let them do it for free. As they were seeing him off, he handed over a letter: "Village Chief, if you encounter any difficult problems in the future, you can take this token to Linyi County and find the County Magistrate. His surname is Hua; he is my friend."
Zhang Wuliang treasured it carefully and placed it in his inner pocket: "Thank you!" For them, this item held immense value and would serve as a guarantee for the future.
Undoubtedly, Zhang Wuliang felt increasingly satisfied with this young man.
At such a young age, being so mature and considerate was truly rare: "Lord Yang, rest assured; we will definitely protect Ten Li Pu."
This is their homeland and a place where Yang Yichen poured countless efforts into along with Liu Qingxi.
Watching these lovely and simple people leave, Yang Yichen found it hard to withdraw his gaze.
Having stayed in Ten Li Pu for many years, he had always been somewhat reclusive and rarely interacted with the villagers until he met Liu Qingxi. Gradually he discovered their charm; although they sometimes quarreled or fought, none of them harbored ill intentions.
Their emotions were worn on their faces; there was no need to guess or engage in intrigue. Interacting with them felt incredibly relaxed.
Step by step integrating into this big family revealed its wonderful aspects.
Zhang Wuliang's departing figure seemed heavy-hearted; he was reluctant to see Yang Yichen and Liu Qingxi leave but also felt somewhat relieved because Youth had arranged everything well for them without worries.
The young man dressed in blue had a sharp face that flashed a hint of reassurance—entrusting matters to such a person would be mistake-free.
Looking across the familiar scenery in the distance that would soon become just a brief segment of his life's journey ahead lay an uncertain road filled with possibilities—perhaps broad avenues or thorny paths laden with temptations.
However, regarding the road ahead, he felt neither confused nor fearful of the upcoming challenges because facing these difficulties meant that as long as one dared to take the first step toward success would not be far away.
Retracting his gaze, the young man stepped back home where Wen Family and Liu Qingxi stood on either side of him.
Counting it up, those remaining were truly his own people—genuine family members.
Before even entering the house, he heard Wen Family's laughter: "Qingxi! It's great that you're coming with us this time; otherwise you'd be so lonely here alone! Also, if I go to the capital without anyone to talk to..."
Most importantly was having such a beautiful daughter-in-law after such a long separation—what if someone else took her away?
However, Wen Family would never voice such concerns; they kept them silently in their hearts.
"Aunt! The house I have here in Biqi Town is almost developed. There are also many businesses we will pursue in Linyi County. Basically speaking, development here has reached a bottleneck."
After all, it's not like clothes that one can buy new ones occasionally; houses are built for decades after completion. Currently at a steady development stage aiming for significant breakthroughs is indeed challenging.
Thus she needed to broaden her vision for greater breakthroughs ahead.
If she indulged in achievements gained from Linyi County now then surely she wouldn't go far on future paths; attempts at necessary times must still be made.
Wen Family naturally didn't understand these complexities nor showed any interest in business matters; all their focus lay on their son and future daughter-in-law.
"That's right! Anyway we're going together—there's someone looking out for you! The key is when the time is right you and Yichan can get married quickly." Wen Family revealed an ambiguous smile while teasing Liu Qingxi.
Alright then! Liu Qingxi admitted that for the first time in decades she felt her face flush—was it really appropriate to say such things openly about an unmarried girl?
Suddenly catching sight of a familiar tall figure made her heart race uncontrollably.
