Chapter Three Hundred and Sixty: Thanks to Heaven, Earth, an

ly helped you when you were in trouble" 。Now that Young Master Ye is willing to lend them money, it's also a return for the favor they did for his family. 。"We're all just riding on reflected glory!"...When Jiahu opened the door, Jiayin rushed over and hugged her elder brother. "Big Brother, Big Brother! Grandma and the others went to see Second Sister-in-law, leaving me and Second Brother to watch the house."

Jiā Rén embraced his younger sister, laughing uncontrollably.

"Is Fooniu'er complaining Unfortunately, even Big Brother wouldn't dare to confront Grandma about this! What can be done"

Jia Yin pestered the person by her side, hugging her brother's neck and twisting around. "No matter what, no matter what, Fu Niuer is so heartbroken, nothing but a jin of sticky rice cake can comfort her!"

Now, both Jiahuan and Liguer were laughing.

"Zhaogao can actually heal a broken heart Big brother has heard this for the first time. Well then, I'll take you to buy some." Jiarren patted his sister and then took his two younger brothers out together.

Four siblings found a well-regarded small restaurant for lunch and afterwards, they went to the end of the street to buy glutinous rice cakes.

On the road, I bumped into several classmates who had just finished eating. Seeing Jiarren holding a cute little girl, they all came forward to greet her.

Jiayin greeted with a cheerful smile, praising this brother's clothes and saying that the other one was handsome. She showered them with compliments like they were free.

Finally, the siblings returned to their own shop with two jin of sticky rice cakes, one jin of sesame candy, a bag of hot candied chestnuts, and a bunch of small gadgets like windmills and slingshots.

But they didn't spend a penny....

Jiārén was both amused and exasperated. He told Jiāhuān, “These few days, if you have some free time, please make me some small snacks. I'll take them to the academy as a gift.”

"Well," Jiāhuān scratched his head, sounding envious, "I wish I were as smart and quick-witted as Fúniūr!"

"That's good," Jia Ren patted his younger brother, encouraging him. "Your sister is a young girl, clever and lovely, but we are boys, being steady and reliable is the most important thing."

At this time, the door to the front room was knocked. It turned out that the old woman and others had returned.

Everyone quickly opened the door, brought out chairs, and poured tea, inviting Mr. and Mrs. Liu Zhiheng and Mr. Wen to sit down.

Jia Huan's heart was filled with anxiety, but he didn't dare to ask. He blushed with embarrassment.

Jia Yin hurriedly ran to hug her grandmother, "Grandma, has the second sister-in-law made a decision"

"It's decided, the wedding will be in the twelfth lunar month. We have to prepare the dowry and there are still many things to do!" The old woman beamed with joy. It was obvious that she felt relieved and content now that her grandson had been betrothed.

If two children are found moving around privately, things could escalate and lead to a tragedy for both families.

Now that the marriage has been successfully arranged, bad things have turned into good things. I'm no longer afraid of anything in the future.

Jia Yin shouted loudly at Jia Huan, "Second Brother, Second Brother! You're getting married!"

Jia Huan's face flushed even redder, he stepped forward and bowed to Mr. Wen and his wife Liu Zhiheng, then darted into the kitchen and didn't come out.

Everyone laughed and chatted for a bit before getting back in the car.

It's autumn now, and every household is busy with things to do.

Li Lao San and his wife couldn't bear to part, so they could only see everyone off.

When they reached Suijin Beach, the sun had stopped at the western mountain peak.

The villagers came home from work and saw the old woman get off the carriage. They asked, "Auntie, are you coming back from town"

Since the marriage was settled, the old lady could speak about it openly and frankly. She smiled and said, "No, I went to Luo An's side and arranged a marriage for Jia Huan."

"Jia Huan is getting married" The villagers were all surprised and asked, "Whose daughter When will the wedding be, we want to drink wedding wine!"

The young woman's surname was Peng, and she was the eldest daughter of Mr. Ren, a respected teacher. Her wedding date was set for the month of La (December/January), and it would surely be a busy time for everyone involved. Of course, there would be plenty of celebratory wine to go around.

The old woman couldn't help but show a hint of pride in her expression, which made the villagers envious.

"The daughter of the academy master Isn't she a talented young lady from a prestigious family"

"What a blessing to be home!"

"Yes, this child is honest and hardworking every day, and he has a good eye for choosing a wife."

"Congratulations, sister-in-law, you're about to welcome your daughter-in-law."

Everyone congratulated her, chattering excitedly and making the old woman's face bloom with happiness.

Jiao Yin quickly hugged some snacks and sesame candy for her grandmother. The old lady casually scattered them among the villagers, making the scene even more lively.

Tao Hongying came out of the courtyard and saw that her daughter was so discerning, which amused her.

Jia Yin ran toward her mother, sticking out her tongue playfully. Holding a sticky cake and a bunch of small trinkets, she grabbed Jia An, Jia Xi, and Mao'er by the hand and dashed away...

At dinner time, the Li family set up two tables. The village head and Zhao Shu along with a few others, as well as Zhang the divine doctor, Liu's couple, Wu's uncle and aunt, all gathered together, chatting and eating.

The newlywed was overjoyed, and everyone rejoiced. Today, the plan was to discuss picking fruits.

Mid-Autumn Festival is a very important holiday in the year. Every household likes to put out fruits and vegetables, admiring the moon and the scenery.

At this time, if you were selling fruit, you would definitely be able to sell it at a good price.

When Liu Zhiheng came before, he said the same thing.

Just in time, the archway is also finished.

The crowd then decided to set up an incense altar tomorrow to express gratitude, and afterwards, they would pick fruits.

Of course, as usual, we'll send ten baskets to the palace first to offer to the Emperor for a taste of the fresh produce.

Now that the remaining mountain fruit is ready, we can start selling it. Most of it will be transported by Liu Ziheng, and a small portion will be kept for our guests at the mountain valley. Each person can only purchase a few kilograms as a little perk.

Li La'er spoke up, leaving twenty baskets of fruit. The money for the fruit was deducted from the dividends from his own family.

These twenty crates of fruit are to be delivered to the academy, to Mr. Wen and Mrs. Cui, and also to the classmates who helped out when we bought the small courtyard, as well as their uncles' families. We need to give gifts to all of them.

The Li family and the villagers had only been living here for two years, their roots were shallow. Therefore, maintaining relationships was crucial.

Who knew, when would the Li family ask for help from others

Friendship, you see, is built on mutual help and frequent interaction over time.

When it comes to small matters, paying as you go is okay. But for big things, you can't rely on this approach.

The village head heard that the Li family left fruits as a gesture of goodwill, and refused to accept any money, no matter what.

After all, Mrs. Cui and Mr. Wen and the others haven't been stingy with helping the village either, so we can't let the Li family foot the bill themselves.

Finally, after much debate, the village and Li's family reached a compromise: each would receive half. This meant that Li's family kept twenty baskets of fruit, but they only received payment for ten baskets.

After reaching an agreement, everyone dispersed.

Early the next morning, all the villagers, young and old, worked together to clean the area around the archway until it was spotless. Then they set up an incense altar and offered fruits and snacks.

Firecrackers burst, their crisp sounds filling the air, as people of all ages knelt on the ground, bowing respectfully.

Thanks Your Majesty for your grace, thanks to this land where I live, and thanks to heaven for the favorable winds and rains that ensure a bountiful harvest.

Guests who arrived early and came to the mountain valley also got out of their carriages and bowed respectfully.

After the incense offering was complete, the villagers went up the mountain and picked ten baskets full of the biggest, reddest fruit.

Jiao Yin was also in the space last night, busy picking fruit. She's so tired now that she keeps yawning and is lying on Grandma's back, helping to watch over the basket.

Actually, while everyone was distracted, she swapped the fruit for some from the space courtyard.

Although the difference isn't huge, the fruit from the small courtyard is still a bit sweeter than the fruit grown on the mountain.

Without mentioning that the Emperor had bestowed upon her the title of Junzhu and built a archway for her village, they simply said that most of the solid gold bracelets her foster father brought back were "robbed" from the Emperor.

She should at least be a little nicer to the Emperor, shouldn't she

Give and take, next time when I collect the gold bangles, it will be even more justified!

Li Laotai, hearing no response from her granddaughter for a long time, thought she had fallen asleep. Little did she know that the girl was deep in thought, calculating with glee and devising a new plan—to exchange fruit for gold bangles…

This time when I went into the palace to deliver fruit, it was still the village head and Li Laoer who led the team.

A truckload of bright red fruits, gleaming in the autumn wind and sunshine, filled the air with fragrance as it journeyed through the entire new city.

Thus, all the people in Xin Du knew that the fruit orchard at Suijin Beach had opened.

Liu Zhiheng was afraid the fruit would be snatched away, so he quickly gathered people and carriages and set off for Suijin Beach.

The villagers saw a procession of carriages turn onto the path from afar and thought it must be the Liu family's. However, as they got closer and took a closer look, their joy turned to dismay!icious, isn't it"The Lord nodded, guessing, "This kind of noodles, not afraid of spoiling, eating is indeed convenient, are you thinking of opening a noodle shop""That's right, godfather. This noodle...
