His actions left Lu Wanqing completely bewildered. "Dad, what are you doing with that hoe?"
Are you suggesting I take her to farm?
Lu Shengzhi, who was personally driving the carriage, said sternly upon hearing this, "Dig up the grave!"
Lu Wanqing: "..." Well, her father might have suffered some kind of major shock; his mind is a bit off today.
The father and daughter arrived at their destination not long after. Lu Shengzhi, carrying a hoe, looked excited and nervous, and immediately began digging without saying a word.

Lu Yanzheng's triumphant return caused cheers and jubilation among the villagers of Dingshui Village, and even all the officials in the government office were extremely excited.
After thanking everyone, Lu Yanzheng returned home anxiously.
He was just as excited as the rest of the villagers, but he was excited because he was about to see his wife.
Jiang Qinyu was already waiting at the gate. Uncle Chen had someone bring a chair, and Madam Chen insisted that she sit down.
After sitting for a short while, I saw Lu Yanzheng's figure.
"Qinqin..." Lu Yanzheng strode up to her, held her hand tightly, and had a thousand words to say but couldn't find the words.
