The next morning.
He Qunfang walked into her grandparents' room with a big smile and said softly, "Dad, Mom, are you all packed? We're ready to leave."
Grandpa and Grandma were still a little hesitant, but after He Qunfang urged them repeatedly, they slowly got into the car.
Liu Feng's aunt stood at the door, bidding a reluctant farewell to everyone.
At this moment, the villagers, hearing that Grandpa's family was going to the county town, all gathered around.
Their faces were full of envy, and they started talking all at once.
Some people exclaimed, "What a blessing! To be able to enjoy a life of leisure in the county town." Others said sourly, "Don't forget about us fellow villagers in the future."
Hearing the neighbors' words, Grandpa felt a surge of pride and replied loudly, "I'll go visit my daughter and be back in a few days!"
However, deep down, he had a premonition that this trip might change many things.
The car started slowly, emitting a deep roar.
Grandpa and Grandma gazed through the car window at the receding countryside, where familiar houses, fields, and trees gradually blurred into view.
Inside the car, although the aunt expressed some reluctance, the light in her eyes subtly revealed her inner anticipation.
Soon after, Liu Feng drove smoothly into Xianshan County. Outside the car window, an elegant courtyard manor quietly came into view, catching the eye.
This courtyard manor consists of three independent villas arranged in a staggered manner. Each villa is mainly in the simple and elegant Chinese architectural style, with white walls, black tiles, and carved window lattices, exuding traditional charm.
The entire estate is exquisitely laid out, cleverly blending modern comfort with traditional charm. The three villas form a harmonious whole, resembling an independent paradise.
The manor is surrounded by neatly trimmed flowers, trees and shrubs, the green plants acting as a natural barrier, giving the manor a verdant coat.
A corner in the distance caught Grandma's attention.
She gazed at the scene and saw rows of neat vegetable plots planted with various winter vegetables, such as Chinese cabbage, radishes, chives, and kale.
These vegetables looked exceptionally fresh and juicy under the sunlight.
The manor's main gate is a vermilion gate with golden studs, giving it a solemn and grand appearance.
A plaque hangs in the center of the main gate.
The five large characters "贺岁康宁宅" (May you have a peaceful and healthy year) are written on it, symbolizing peace and health year after year.
This calligraphy was personally written by Liu Feng. The strokes are vigorous and full of charm. It is said that in feng shui, it can ward off evil spirits and protect the home. It is a rare and precious item. If it were in the eyes of an expert, it would be worth a thousand pieces of gold.
As soon as Liu Feng's car approached, the staff at the gate immediately went to greet him.
They all bowed and greeted him in unison, "Greetings, Young Master Liu!"
Mother He Qunfang was full of doubts, wondering what Liu Feng was up to.
Grandma's family was also shocked, staring intently at the manor in front of them, wondering: When did such a luxurious manor appear in Xianshan County?
"Is this a luxury hotel?" Grandma asked in a low voice.
"This place is so beautiful. If I could live here, it would be worth it for a lifetime," the aunt exclaimed.
"What's going on?" He Qunfang asked Liu Feng curiously.
Liu Feng smiled and gestured for everyone to calm down, reassuring them, "You'll find out soon enough."
After the vehicle came to a stop, a young staff member quickly stepped forward, took the car keys, and parked the car properly.
Liu Feng stepped out of the car, looked at the waiter behind him, and asked with a smile, "Are you ready?"
“Everything is ready,” a young man surnamed Guo replied immediately.
"Alright, take us inside. Let's have some tea first," Liu Feng said.
Then, Xiao Guo led everyone through a rockery garden in the center of the courtyard to the villa in the very middle.
As they walked along the cobblestone path, everyone slowed down to admire the beautiful scenery of the courtyard house.
Although her aunt was pregnant, she was still determined not to lag behind. Her maternal grandmother and He Qunfang would remind her to walk carefully and slowly so as not to rush and upset the baby.
Stepping into the villa's living room, the interior is decorated in a simple yet warm style. The furniture is mainly made of solid wood, with the tables, chairs, and flooring all exuding a natural texture.
A faint scent of sandalwood wafted in the air, and the cushions on the seats were soft and comfortable.
Although the decor wasn't luxurious, the warm and comfortable atmosphere made everyone feel welcome and happy.
Grandpa and the others were awestruck by the tranquil elegance and sat down carefully.
Liu Feng first invited He Jun to sit in the seat of honor. After everyone was seated, several waiters served fragrant tea and pastries.
Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Liu Feng finally smiled and revealed the truth: "This manor was built for my grandfather, and the other two villas were prepared for my second aunt and my youngest aunt, respectively."
Before he could finish speaking, a crisp sound of a teacup hitting the ground rang out.
It turned out that the younger sister-in-law had accidentally knocked over her teacup in her excitement after hearing Liu Feng's words. Several waiters immediately went to check on her and quickly cleaned it up after confirming that she hadn't been burned.
He Qunfang was also taken aback, never expecting Liu Feng to prepare such a generous gift for the He family.
"What?" He Jun also stood up in surprise, unable to believe it, and asked again.
