Su Jinli quietly looked at the full granary of grain, and at the backs of the people carrying the newly harvested rice ears and walking home with firm steps. Those backs were full of strength and hope. She thought of herself in her previous life, lying alone on the sickbed, unable to even drink a bowl of hot soup. She felt a lot of emotions in her heart, and her eyes suddenly felt hot. She held Jiang Yan's hand tightly with her backhand, and the grass stem of the grass ring gently rubbed the wound on his palm. The slight sting seemed to bring their hearts closer. "I want to be with you," she paused slightly, with a happy smile in her voice, "to turn all the grievances in the world into honey."

After hearing this, Jiang Yan's face lit up with a brilliant smile. He slowly lowered his head and kissed her gently. The golden glow of the setting sun was like a soft veil, gently falling on them, stretching their shadows very long, casting them on the newly built embankment, as if adding the most romantic touch to the picture of their love. The grass stems of the grass ring rubbed his lips, but it was sweeter than any imperial dessert he had ever tasted, it was the sweet taste of love and struggle intertwined. He deeply smelled the faint scent of water grass in her hair, the unique scent acquired when weaving straw sandals. In his heart, it was more moving than any precious rouge, because it was a testimony to the hardships they had experienced together.

Young Marquis Su, carrying a silk banner, pranced joyfully beside them, as if celebrating this beautiful moment. Su Qingyao pretended not to notice them, her lips curled slightly, her eyes filled with relief. She secretly slipped another eyebrow pencil into the brocade box, a delicate gesture that fully demonstrated her care for her sister. Princess Shou'an, like a spoiled child, tugged at Old Li's sleeve, repeatedly asking him to tell her the story of the fox weaving straw sandals, her eyes gleaming with fondness and curiosity.

In the distant granaries, the rich fragrance of newly harvested rice blends with the fragrance of wildflowers on the riverbank. Caressed by the gentle autumn breeze, it seems to have brewed the world's sweetest honey. This sweet aroma permeates the entire city of Yangzhou, conveying happiness and warmth.

This couple who got to know each other through street sugar painting finally understood deeply after going through ups and downs that the best honey is never the golden book and jade seal that symbolize supreme glory, but being able to stand side by side with their loved one on this solid land, witnessing with their own eyes the people living and working in peace and contentment, and turning all the hardships they have experienced into hope as bright as stars in their eyes and strength as warm as the sun in their palms.

As the sun slowly sank into the canal, its afterglow dyed the sky a brilliant orange-red. Su Jinli gazed at her reflection in Jiang Yan's eyes, a surge of unwavering faith welling up in her heart. She suddenly felt that no matter how muddy and bumpy the road ahead, as long as he was by her side, they would eventually be able to walk hand in hand onto a smooth path paved with honey. And their story would be as plump and fruitful as the rice ears of Yangzhou, as colorful as the wildflowers lining the riverbank. It would be passed down through the streets of Dajing, becoming the sweetest legend in people's hearts, inspiring generation after generation to bravely face life's challenges and write their own beautiful chapters with love and perseverance.

Over time, under the influence of Jiang Yan and Su Jinli, Yangzhou City prospered. The straw sandal workshop continued to grow, not only providing more employment opportunities for the city but also exporting this distinctive product to surrounding areas, becoming a shining symbol of the city. Su Jinli used the profits from Jinyun Bookstore to successfully open its tenth branch in Yangzhou. The bookstore was bustling with activity, injecting new vitality into Yangzhou's cultural exchange.

Jiang Yan, leveraging his knowledge and connections, actively promoted various development projects in Yangzhou. He organized the construction of water conservancy projects to ensure stable irrigation for farmland and established schools to ensure access to education for more children. Thanks to his efforts, the living standards of the people of Yangzhou improved, and social order was maintained.

Su Qingyao's rouge business prospered. Her "Riverbank Red" rouge, once released, became a beloved favorite among women and a fashion icon. With her exquisite rouge-blending skills, she continuously innovated and brought forth new products, adding a touch of color to Yangzhou's commercial development.

After Princess Shou'an returned to the palace, she shared the story of the flying fox weaving straw sandals with many people, spreading the story of Jiang Yan and Su Jinli throughout the palace. She also had an embroiderer create a folding screen with the straw sandal pattern, which she displayed prominently in the palace as a constant reminder of this touching story.

To express their gratitude for the contributions of Jiang Yan and Su Jinli, the people of Yangzhou spontaneously organized and built a memorial pavilion. Inscribed with their stories and words of gratitude, the pavilion has become a cultural landmark of Yangzhou. During festivals, residents gather to remember their achievements and pray for their well-being.

Jiang Yan and Su Jinli were not satisfied with this. They knew that there were still more places that needed their help, and more people struggling. So, they decided to pass on this love and responsibility and embarked on a new journey.

They traveled across mountains and rivers, through towns and villages, using their wisdom and strength to bring hope and warmth to those in need. They taught people new planting techniques to help them increase crop yields; they opened bookstores to spread knowledge and culture; and they organized free clinics to bring health to the people.

In this process, their love grows deeper, like a fine wine that becomes more mellow with age. They stand hand in hand, facing the ups and downs of life together, and interpret the true meaning of love with their actions.

Their stories continue to be told across Dajing. Following their example, people are reaching out to help those in need. Under their influence, the entire Dajing nation is filled with love and care, becoming a warm and loving family.

Many years later, when Jiang Yan and Su Jinli returned to Yangzhou, they were overjoyed to see the prosperity of the city. Standing on the riverbank where they had fought side by side, they recalled the past, tears of happiness in their eyes.

"Look, this is the result of our hard work." Jiang Yan held Su Jinli's hand tightly and said with emotion.

"Yes, all this is inseparable from everyone's joint efforts." Su Jinli smiled, her eyes full of longing for the future.

They know the road ahead is long, but as long as they walk hand in hand, nothing can stop them from pursuing happiness and beauty. Their legend will forever shine brightly in the history of Dajing, inspiring future generations to keep moving forward and create a better tomorrow.
