Huang knew all too well that these rascals weren't reluctant to part with her, but rather with the labor force on her family's carriage.
Not to mention her children and grandchildren, even this old woman was exhausted yesterday, so much so that she still needs to hold onto the carriage wall to get used to walking.
Otherwise, my lower back will still hurt.
Of course, Ms. Huang would never say she was afraid of being tired.
"Money can never be earned enough. We must open our shops at our own pace, instead of letting our customers dictate our thinking."
That would be too tiring, wouldn't it?
Aren't you tired right now?
Okay, the boss is the boss, and the boss is always right.
Zhao's Snack Shop in Wufang Town has also put up a sign that sells ingredients in fixed quantities.
When the group returned to Zhao Family Village, it was already evening.
The children had already finished school. It was quite a sight to see all the children from the village pouring out of the village school at the same time.
Then they saw the Zhao family's carriage.
"Ahhh, the scholar is back! The scholar is back!"
I wonder which little brat shouted the first time.
The patrol team was so frightened that they quickly ran towards the village entrance, thinking that a criminal had kidnapped the child.
It was only after the child said something else that they felt a little relieved.
The scholar has returned. So what if he's back? Who says he's a scholar?
Wait, the scholar. Ah... the scholar is back.
The number of patrol members running around increased rather than decreased, all eager to be the first to see the newly appointed scholar.
Even though the Zhao family and their group were their relatives and people they often saw.
The whole village was in an uproar. Everyone came out in a flash.
Not to mention Zhao Jinfa, even elderly people like his second uncle and third great-uncle were helped out.
"You're back, you're back. It's good that you're back. You are heroes of our Zhao Family Village, heroes of our Zhao clan."
My second great-uncle said tremblingly.
The others nodded in agreement.
The Zhao family and their entourage were escorted to the foot of the mountain by the entire village.
I had planned to invite a few elderly people to my home, but they declined.
"That's a humble way of saying, 'You must be tired from your journey, please rest first.'"
You must come to the ancestral hall tomorrow. We need to discuss opening the ancestral hall so we can report your great achievements to our ancestors.
Another thing to discuss is the banquet arrangements.
Okay, it's a familiar process, a familiar formula, Zhao Qianci is already proficient.
After arriving home, the group ate a simple meal, distributed the food to the women in the family, and then went to their respective rooms to rest.
As for the couples who never reunite, the sweetness they experience is beyond words.
The next morning, Zhao Qianci had just gotten up when Zhao Jinfa arrived.
They waited in the Zhao family's special living room.
Looking at the empty room and the cup of tea on the coffee table in front of him, Zhao Jinfeng sighed at the impermanence of life.
In just a few years, my cousin Qianci has transformed from a hapless fellow into a respected scholar.
This tea must be a top-quality Biluochun.
In the past, if a family could entertain guests with a little bit of tea dust, that would be considered the highest level of hospitality.
Who would have thought that in just a few years, not only has my cousin's family defied the odds and changed their fate, but which family in the village and clan has not benefited from their kindness?
After quickly washing up, Zhao Qianci came to the living room and asked someone to bring him two breakfasts.
After the two brothers finished eating, they went to the ancestral hall together.
As for why Zhao Qianci knew his cousin hadn't eaten breakfast without even asking, it's because he really knows this old man too well.
It concerned the honor of the entire clan, and he couldn't afford to lose it for even a moment.
Being allowed to sleep at home for one night was already considered a great act of kindness from my cousin.
When we arrived at the clan ancestral hall, all the clan elders were there.
They sat in a row, showing no signs of old age or dejection; on the contrary, their eyes were as bright as the emergency light their granddaughter had brought out.
"Qianci is here, congratulations..."
The morning passed, and it was lunchtime when Zhao Qianci was finally released.
After entering, Dun Dun Dun drank two cups of tea before he felt the discomfort in his throat subside.
"This is the first time I've ever realized how eloquent the elders are!"
There are still many problems. If it weren't for the fact that it was time for dinner and their children and grandchildren hadn't come to pick them up, I probably wouldn't have been released yet.
Zhao Qianci complained, and Huang poured him another cup of tea and handed it to him.
"Would you like another drink? If not, let's eat first. We can talk about other things after we finish eating."
Indeed, Madam Huang remained calm and only asked after the meal how the discussion in the ancestral hall had gone.
The result was that an auspicious day was chosen, and five days later the ancestral hall was opened to comfort the ancestors, followed by a continuous banquet.
As for the cost, it was completely outside the scope of consideration for these clan elders.
As the richest family in Zhao Family Village, his family could afford it.
Last time, the banquet was held in front of the ancestral hall, and it's the same this time.
This is not just a major event for the Zhao family members; it is a significant event for the entire village and clan.
On the day of the banquet, everyone who was supposed to be invited was invited. Even those who weren't invited came on their own.
Not only did they come, but they also brought a "generous gift".
For example, Liu Xiaohua's mother only brought her husband this time; she didn't bring any other family members.
After dealing with her daughter for the past few years, she has finally come to a complete understanding.
The daughter is now a member of the Zhao family, no longer the pitiful little girl from the Liu family who was still being manipulated by her.
If anyone dares to bully that brat, not only will Xiao Hua turn against her, but the Zhao family won't let her off the hook either.
Going along with them and appeasing them can actually bring benefits.
At the Zhao family's banquet, Liu Xiaohua's mother actually gave 100 coins as a gift.
For her, who always only takes in and never gives out, this was like the sun rising in the west—a first for her.
The Zhao family has now risen from being peasants like them to a level they can never reach.
Now, I can't even feel jealousy anymore, let alone look up to them.
Many merchants from the town and county also came to the Zhao family to give gifts.
Just for the sake of maintaining good relations, so that if the Zhao family becomes successful in the future, they will still remember their hometown.
If you ever need anything in the future, you can come to me for help and won't be kicked out.
What they didn't expect was that their generous gift was returned as part of the souvenirs.
The Zhao family will not accept any gifts today.
This isn't because the Zhao family is aloof or heartless. It's simply that they don't accept rewards without merit.
As for the villagers, making money isn't easy, so wouldn't it be better for them to stay and live their own lives?
Because they don't accept gifts but still have to pack souvenirs, the women of the Zhao family are exhausted today.
The men greeted and saw off guests outside, while the women packed up their belongings with servants and maids.
Different packaging bags need to be selected based on the gifts given to each household.
This is really troublesome.
Fortunately, each gift had a label attached when it was received.
Otherwise, just finding things can be exhausting.
"My goodness, who is this Wang Yuanwen? He actually gave away a house in the county, plus 200 taels of silver. What's going on here?"
There must be an ulterior motive behind providing gravity.
Tian Xiaolan exclaimed in surprise.
