Xu Di put his arm around the old lady's arm and said with a smile, "Okay, I understand. I will definitely remember Grandmother's words and never do anything to disgrace the family. Don't worry, I don't care about the people's hard-earned money. It's just making money. I've never been afraid of making money."

After receiving Xu Di's assurance, the old lady smiled and said, "You're going to be a local official. I've asked your grandfather to prepare two financial advisors for you. You can take them with you and they can help you with advice when you encounter problems."

Xu Di nodded, thanked her, and then said to the old lady, "Grandmother, I've heard that Penglai is where the Eight Immortals crossed the sea, and that the sea cucumbers and seafood there are of excellent quality. I'll get some for you when I go, so you can have a good taste, okay?"

The old lady naturally agreed. Seeing that it was getting late, Xu Di returned to his own courtyard.

When they got back, they found several boxes in the room. Xu Di asked Li Yuexi, "What are these for?"

Li Yuexi said with a smile, "These are gifts from my eldest sister and a few younger sisters. They said you'll be traveling to Dengzhou in a couple of days, and these are just a small token of their appreciation."

Xu Di nodded and said, "Make a good note of these things. It will be good for us to have a way to return the favor if anything happens to their family in the future."

Li Yuexi nodded and said, "During the day, the nanny came over and helped me with the notes. She even made two thick notebooks for me to carry with me so I can record any interactions with my colleagues in the future."

Human relationships are built up little by little like this, and Xu Di naturally had no objections.
