In this process, Lin Wanqiu also reaped a great deal of happiness. Grandma Shen's health improved significantly, and she cheerfully helped take care of the household and the food workshop every day, often bringing the workers homemade pickles and snacks. Shen Tingzhou remained her strongest support, not only managing the household impeccably but also using his connections to solve many problems for the food workshop. Shen Nian'an and Shen Nianxi grew up healthy and happy. Nian'an consistently achieved top grades, especially in mathematics, winning numerous awards in regional competitions. Nianxi blossomed into a graceful, lively, and adorable young woman with a strong interest in food preparation.
That evening, Lin Wanqiu and Shen Tingzhou sat in the courtyard, gazing at the starry sky, their hearts filled with emotion. The ginkgo tree in the courtyard, though bare of its leaves, stood tall and straight, exuding a tenacious vitality. In the distance, the village lights twinkled, and the occasional barking of dogs drifted through the air. A faint aroma of food filled the air—the scent of intangible cultural heritage delicacies wafting from the food workshop.
"Tingzhou, I never imagined we'd make it this far," Lin Wanqiu said softly, leaning on Shen Tingzhou's shoulder. From being desperate when she first transmigrated to her current success and happy family, only she knew the hardships and difficulties she had faced along the way.
Shen Tingzhou held her hand tightly and said softly, "Wanqiu, this is all thanks to your hard work. You have always been so strong and persistent, sacrificing so much for this family and for your dreams. I am proud of you."
"Actually, I never thought I could do so much." Lin Wanqiu smiled, a hint of reminiscence flashing in her eyes. "At the beginning, I just wanted to live a good life with Nian'an. I never expected that I would end up in the food business and pass on so many intangible cultural heritage foods. Along the way, there have been bitter and sweet moments, laughter and tears, but I have never regretted it."
“From now on, I will always be by your side and support you in whatever you do,” Shen Tingzhou said. “Whether it’s preserving intangible cultural heritage or making the food workshop bigger and stronger, I will always be there for you.”
Lin Wanqiu looked up at Shen Tingzhou, her eyes filled with love: "Tingzhou, it's so good to have you here."
They smiled at each other, their eyes filled with love in the night. Lin Wanqiu knew that the collaboration with "Fuyuanzhai" was just a new beginning. Next, she would explore more intangible cultural heritage food recipes, train more inheritors, and ensure that these precious traditional delicacies are passed down from generation to generation.
