"This old lady Song looks so young... I can't believe her eldest grandson is already over twenty."

This was completely different from what they had imagined; it was so revolutionary, so revolutionary.

But the old woman didn't leave after getting off the car. Instead, she stepped forward to help him up. Could there be someone else inside?

Everyone stared in that direction...

Finally, Madam Song appeared. She wore a sapphire headband and a jade hairpin in her hair, and her face was full of kindness.

His outfit was the best there.

Song Yun also dismounted and went forward to help Old Madam Song.

"Grandmother, please slow down."

Madam Song smiled and nodded. She looked around and found that so many villagers were looking in their direction.

"Yun'er, go and have someone distribute the prepared wedding candies so that everyone can share in the joy."

Song Yun quickly beckoned Mo Zhu over and gave her instructions.

In the crowd, everyone consciously made way for Madam Song.

The villagers watched with bated breath, not daring to blink.

Goodness gracious! A wealthy old lady from the capital has come to their village. Rumor has it she's related to the imperial family, holding a very high position.

Zhao Tingzhang, along with several highly respected elders from the village, stepped forward to greet them.

"It's a blessing for our village that Madam Song has moved in. Welcome, welcome."

The old lady was very easy to talk to, and replied with a smile, "Your village is wonderful. This year's drought is so severe, yet Changfeng Village is the only one that still has a water source. I heard that a scholar has emerged from the village? What a blessed place! Excellent, excellent!"

Madam Song praised Changfeng Village in just a few words, making everyone present feel very proud.

After all, who doesn't say their hometown is the best?

As the head of the village, Zhao Tingzhang was extremely proud. After all, the village was in such a good state because of his governance.

"Our village has not only produced one scholar, but it will surely produce many more in the future. The village school is already half-built, and we must focus on education from now on!" Chief Zhao said loudly in front of the whole village.

These words were not only spoken to Old Madam Song, but to the entire village.

He wanted to make everyone realize the importance of reading, and he wanted to turn Changfeng Village into a village of scholars.

Madam Song smiled and nodded, secretly admiring Zhao Tingzhang.

"Chief, why don't you come in and have a cup of tea?"

Mo Zhu led a few people and brought a lot of candy.

He shouted, "The Song family is moving to a new house, time to hand out candy!" With that, he grabbed a handful of candy and threw it into the crowd.

Wedding candy was a luxury among these villagers.

Even if someone in the village gets married, they still can't afford it.

So everyone was busy bending down to grab the candy from the ground, especially the children who were overjoyed. They even lay down on the ground to cover the candy, afraid of having it snatched away.

Seeing everyone happily busy picking up candy, Old Madam Song entered the room with the help of her maids and servants.

The brick-and-tile houses, though not as luxurious as residences in the capital, still have a unique and indescribable sense of comfort.

Especially between the two tiled houses, a wooden house was specially built.

This was Song Yun's suggestion, because he considered that the tiled houses would be cold and damp in winter, which would be bad for the health of the elderly.

Zhao Tingzhang introduced, "Director Song is such a meticulous person. This wooden house is made of the finest wood, and the planks are very sturdy!"

The wooden house is unique in their village.

Moreover, the house has been insulated all around, so it would be incredibly warm to live in during the winter.

After the villagers outside finished grabbing the candy, they were all very grateful to Madam Song.

"Oh my, our village is really blessed this time, it's like a bodhisattva has descended upon us."

"Yes, this candy is so sweet, I almost don't want to eat it. I'll take it home and save it for my little grandson."

After receiving the candy, everyone thanked Song Yun in the direction of his house and then went home.

Zhao Xiaocao grabbed two bags of candy, stuffing her mouth full, and looked very happy.

Today she rode in a carriage and ate sweets; it was simply the happiest and most blissful day of her life.

Seeing her smug expression, Zhao Wanzi no longer felt the same annoyance towards Zhao Xiaocao as before.

Ever since she heard Fengnian's younger brother tell her about Zhao Xiaocao's experiences at home, Zhao Wanzi felt quite sorry for Zhao Xiaocao.

She heard that Zhao Xiaocao now has to wash all the family's clothes and cook all the meals at home.

Because my third aunt works in the city, there's no one to do these chores at home.

Thinking of this, Zhao Wanzi gripped the boiled egg in her hand tightly.

Zhao Xiaocao was so engrossed in her joy that she didn't notice that the path she was taking would pass by Zhao Wanzi's house.

By the time she realized it, she was only two or three steps away from Zhao Wanzi.

Zhao Xiaocao was startled, the candy in her mouth flipped over, and she swallowed a mouthful of sugar water.

She looked at Zhao Wanzi, and the corners of her mouth gradually drooped down.

She's in a good mood today and doesn't really want to fight.

Just as he was hesitating, Zhao Erhua jogged up behind him.

"Little Grass, what are you doing standing here? Go find Er Mao to play..."

Zhao Erhua also saw Zhao Wanzi. Her sturdy, round face stiffened, her eyebrows furrowed, and she immediately became somewhat wary.

"What do you mean? You want to start a fight?"

Zhao Wanzi rolled her eyes inwardly. She took two steps and walked up to Zhao Xiaocao. She took Zhao Xiaocao's hand and shoved the egg from her own hand into it.

"We boiled some eggs at home today, here's one for you."
