The sky had barely begun to lighten when the Yang family's master and servant, along with the workers, had already started to load goods onto ox carts methodically, with the village chief and the Lizheng bringing people to help.

Old Master Yang had to supervise the greenhouse and couldn't attend the opening ceremony, but he was truly worried about his granddaughter. After all, she had noticeably lost weight in these last two months, which pained him to see, so he admonished his grandsons over and over again, "There's a lot to do tomorrow, you must take good care of Jiujiu and make sure she doesn't overexert herself!"

"Don't worry, Grandpa, we'll take care of Jiujiu," the brothers said in unison.

Knowing well the deep affection among the Yang siblings and that Yang Chengyou and Yang Chengbin would surely want to attend such an important event as the opening, Old Hai granted the two a four-day holiday.

"Dad, the boys care the most for Jiujiu and will naturally look after her well," Yang Chaoyi consoled, "Moreover, brothers Hongtao and Hongzhang said they would keep an eye on Jiujiu, and Jingrui has already rushed over. They will remind Jiujiu."

Yang Chaoyi and the other two couples each had factory matters to handle and also wanted to train their nephews and sons, so none of them went along.

"Yes, Dad, Jiujiu is very sensible in her work, you can rest assured," Yang Chaowen and Yang Chaowu also persuaded their father.

Giving his three sons a white look, Old Master Yang huffed and turned away, indifferent to his sons who didn't seem to understand an old man's heart.

Old Lady Luo, Lady Xiao, Madam Yang Zhou, and Shen Qiu Lan, the three sisters-in-law, earnestly cautioned Yang Mengchen. Old Lady Luo and Lady Xiao were somewhat okay, but Madam Yang Zhou and her three daughters-in-law were full of concern. No matter how clever and capable Jiujiu was, she was still a child; they couldn't help but worry.

Seeing himself, alive and well, being blatantly ignored by the Yang family people, Long Xuanmo felt very displeased. Nevertheless, considering they were Jiujiu's family, he withheld his outburst, instead saying coolly, "Let's go." Then he got into Yang Mengchen's carriage on his own accord.

Although not understanding why Long Xuanmo was acting crazy again, it was getting late, so Yang Mengchen comforted her family a few more words before heading to the carriage and instructing Hai Tang to order their departure.

Disguised, Long Jingxi and Min Luozhan obviously knew why the Third Imperial Younger Brother was upset and exchanged a glance before getting into the second carriage. As for Sister Lu, she was, of course, 'resting well' in another courtyard.

A few carriages led the way, followed by more than two hundred ox carts laden with various kinds of goods, making an impressive procession towards the town.

Ignoring the sullen Long Xuanmo, Yang Mengchen lifted the carriage curtain, looking at the scenery outside with a clear, calm expression and a gentle smile playing on her lips.

When she first proposed to plan and build the village uniformly, akin to the modern concept of a new rural area, the Clan Leader, the Elders, along with the village chief and the Lizheng, agreed without a second thought.

Now the village had orderly and broad concrete roads crisscrossing it, with tall green trees and blooming flowers lining the roadsides. Every ten meters, there was a street lamp, and every fifty meters, a trash can. Coupled with the new and unique buildings, expanses of crops gave an overall impression of cleanliness and freshness, conveying a sense of order and comfort.

Considering the poor conditions of the villagers, she took the initiative to offer thirty taels per household for house construction, hired people to clean the streets, manage the street lights and green spaces, and of course, she paid their salaries. She did her bit, never expecting the villagers would be so profusely grateful to her.

Nearing the town, Ah Jiu kept looking at the scenery, utterly ignoring him, which only made Long Xuanmo's mood turn even more resentful and sullen. Wanting to complain a few words, he could only stoically drink tea since several inconvenient people were in the carriage, his whole body emanating a frigid chill.

Feeling this unyielding coldness lingering, Sister Jin and the other five quietly sat with their heads down, trying their best to reduce their presence.

"Jiujiu, you're here!" Yang Chenghong and others, who had been waiting early at the entrance of Yongchang Supermarket, saw the caravan arriving and hurriedly greeted Yang Mengchen as she descended from the carriage.
