An Wan was happy all day long, her smile never leaving her face, until her facial muscles ached.
The Lu family is in the same situation.
Despite the sweltering summer heat, they showed no signs of fatigue despite being covered in sweat.
Laughter echoed in the rented room; this was the taste of happiness.
Looking at each other's dirty faces, they realized that each other had put in just as much effort as they had, and felt that their hard work had not been in vain.
A home is made up of parents, siblings, and everyone in the family working together; that's what makes a home.

He Sichen and He Yurou took a car to Lujia Village, leaving Jiang Wanruo to mind the shop alone.
So, in the afternoon, she went with Lu Jingxing to the furniture store to choose a large bed.
Although they didn't hold hands or do anything intimate, and just stood together for a long time, Yunping could still tell that something was off between them.
Do they like each other?
What will happen to Yu Rou, the child?
I've liked Jingxing for over half a year, but I haven't gotten anything in return.
Moreover, Wanruo is her best friend of ten years. Once she finds out about their affair, can they still be friends?
Jiang Wanruo was unaware that Yunping was worried about her relationship with He Yurou. She was immersed in Lu Jingxing's gentle gaze and his large bed.
Although I can't sleep there myself, I'm going to study abroad next month, and maybe then I'll be able to sit by his bedside.
For three consecutive days, An Wan, Lu Sen, and Lu Jiayan were in charge of the work at the old villa, doing their best.
I just want to move in as soon as possible.
But before moving in, you must ensure the villa's environment is properly maintained.
——
He Sichen stayed in Lujia Village for two days before being sent away by Old Master He, who told him to go do something more important.
He Yurou had been waiting for half a day when her grandfather rushed her to the scene. The rural environment was not as good as that of the county town, and he did not want his granddaughter to suffer.
During the two days that He Sichen stayed in Lujia Village, he went fishing, hiking, and harvesting rice in the fields with Grandpa He every day.
Although the seedlings were submerged for a day or two during the flood two months ago, the timely rescue and replanting of seedlings have allowed for a small harvest.
During this time, He Sichen also noticed the changes at Shenxian Mountain.
It has changed a lot since I left half a month ago.
Although Shenxian Mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, it was never as strange as it is now.
The entire mountain was almost completely obscured by clouds and mist, and nothing could be seen at all.
But his intuition told him that there were people on Shenxian Mountain, and that there were many people active there.
He really wanted to go into the mountains to see what was going on, but he also knew that anyone who could enter the sacred mountain unscathed must be an extraordinary person.
Despite possessing dual abilities, compared to these cultivators, he is like an ant compared to an elephant.
Let's wait a while longer. Only when we have enough power can we venture into the Immortal Mountain.
At this time, He Sichen was unaware of the shocking truth that the current owner of Shenxian Mountain was An Wan.
Otherwise, his jaw would have dropped.
He probably felt inferior to a five-year-old girl and wanted to crawl into a hole.
However, if he knew that An Wan was the owner of Shenxian Mountain, he would probably insist that she take him into Shenxian Mountain to find out more.

The news of buying the old house villa spread like wildfire in less than five days.
Everyone in Shuanglong County knows that there are two or three hundred thousand people there.
From eighty-year-old seniors to three-year-old children, everyone knows it.
Many people admire Lu Sen's perseverance; he turned his life around in just four years.
This kind of luck is truly incredible.
Many people also feel that Lu Sen's rise to power was too rapid, and that he might fall just as quickly.
This must be what envy is!
When Lu Sen went bankrupt, everyone came to kick him while he was down. Anyone who didn't bully him would be considered a fool.
Now that he's made a comeback, living in a mansion and driving luxury cars, it's the same people who are now envious.
When the news of Lu Sen's family living in a luxury house reached Lu Family Village, some people congratulated them, while others were envious and made very nasty remarks, slandering Lu Sen's family in various ways.
Upon hearing this shocking news from the villagers, Lu Xiaojuan and Lu Xiaojing were furious.
"Living in luxury houses and driving luxury cars? No way! Why do they deserve to live so well? We're just stuck in the countryside suffering."
Lu Xiaojuan gritted her teeth and stomped her feet. Although she was already fourteen years old and had not been to Shuanglong County many times, she had seen the bright lights and bustling activity of big and small cities on TV.
She longed for that kind of life; that was the good life people should live.
And she deserves that kind of life.
As the third daughter of Lu Miao's family, she was the most beautiful among the six sisters and was considered one of the prettiest girls in the village.
If I could be like those rich heiresses, never leaving the house, with fair skin, wearing pretty dresses, and red nail polish, I would definitely look much better than I do now.
Instead of toiling in the countryside, their faces to the soil and their backs to the sky, their feet covered in mud and their fingernails always filthy.
"Third sister, calm down. Look at your face right now, it's full of jealousy, it looks terrible." Lu Xiaojing pulled her behind a big tree to talk, afraid that it would be troublesome if outsiders saw her like this.
"Xiaojing, don't you want to live in a mansion? Second Uncle bought back his old mansion for tens of thousands of yuan. It seems Second Uncle has really made money. I never thought a small pastry shop could be so profitable."
Lu Xiaojuan tried to calm herself down, taking a few deep breaths before she slowly regained her composure, but a look of jealousy still lingered on her face.
Lu Xiaojing nodded, "I told you long ago that Second Uncle's pastry shop is making money, but you didn't believe me. It's all thanks to the spring water from Shenxian Mountain. It's a pity we can't get in, otherwise, we could live in a mansion just by selling spring water."
