“But it’s a good thing! If not for that, your marriage wouldn’t have gone so smoothly!” Zhao Huaishan lamented.

At this moment, he didn’t know if he should feel happy or sad.

He had done everything he could. Now that his son and daughter-in-law were already like this, what else could he do?

At least for now, he would help them one by one. As for the other matters, they could resolve them in the future!

At this moment, Zhao Huaishan only hoped that after his eldest grandson, Zhao Lijun, went out to adventure, he would come to his senses and forget about taking shortcuts.

Mao Dao’s parents and Xu Xiufang had a good chat. There was also a matchmaker around, so the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Both parties went straight to the point and decided on this marriage.

The matchmaker knew that these two families were very familiar with each other, so they decided on it readily.

At least she could get the money directly as the matchmaker, so it was a good thing.

After the exchange of invitations, the marriage contract was finalized.

After the marriage contract was stamped with the official seal, the marriage would be considered a success.

“The marriage has been decided already, so why don’t we strike while the iron is hot and set the date of the marriage? Including the betrothal gift, you can ask for anything!” Mrs. Mao was a straightforward person, so she simply went straight to the point.

Zhao Huaishan liked straightforward people.

“We won’t be picky about the betrothal gift. Just prepare it as you see fit! No matter how much betrothal gift you give, we’ll return it in the form of a dowry, so there’s no need to go beyond your family’s means. Prepare whatever you can. However, there’s something we have to make clear first. After Sisi has married into the Mao family, I hope that the Mao family will treat her like your biological daughter! After all, this girl has been pampered by us!”

When Mr. Mao and Mrs. Mao heard Zhao Huaishan’s words, they immediately nodded.

“Of course, all children are precious to their parents. Don’t worry, we’re not that kind of evil mother-in-law or father-in-law. Sisi will also be our family member in the future, so we’ll definitely treat her well! In order to express our sincerity, we plan to build a house in Hele Village for the couple to live in. We can work now, so we won’t disturb their lives for the time being, but we still have to rely on them to support us in retirement!” Mrs. Mao said.

Zhao Huaishan nodded and said, “Of course. It’s their duty to support their parents!”

After the two families discussed it, they decided to set the marriage date in October.

It was mid-August, only a month or so away from October, so it was just right.

Zhao Sisi secretly glanced at Mao Dao, who was also looking at her.

When their gazes met, they quickly looked away again.

After a while, Zhao Sisi looked at Mao Dao again.

Mao Dao kept staring at Zhao Sisi in a daze and he was already overjoyed.

Li Xiaoran was talking to Luo Cheng about the official road. “Husband, what do you think about the official road?”

“Do you have any good ideas, Xiaoran?” Luo Cheng asked.

“Aren’t we going to hold a food festival? Instead of looking for other places, it’s better to build a town near the official road. Besides, I already planned to hold a food street previously. A food festival, a food street, and some other activities can continuously attract customers! In addition, the town is built by the official road, so we don’t have to worry about there being no roads!” Li Xiaoran said.

“It’s easy to build a town, and it’s easy to organize competitions and activities like the food street you mentioned. But Xiaoran, we don’t have enough manpower!” Luo Cheng said the most important thing, “We’ve just developed White Foothill City as a fief and wee’re short-staffed.”

Luo Cheng said his thoughts, “In addition, there’s still many potential dangers. Before those things are resolved, we can forget about developing our economy in peace. Once we appear, someone will immediately target us. Therefore, let’s not be anxious and let’s take things slow! Let’s open the grilled fish shop first before developing the fruit and herb business. After we have a certain amount of money, it will be easy to do anything we want!”

Li Xiaoran also knew that she was too anxious, so when she heard Luo Cheng’s words, she decided to calm down.

“I was too anxious! As the saying goes, more haste less speed!”

When Luo Cheng saw Li Xiaoran’s expression, he reached out and held her hand.

“Xiaoran, now that there’s a good start, don’t be anxious. Take things slow.” Li Xiaoran nodded, then she thought of something.

“By the way, I wonder if Mao Dao’s marriage proposal went smoothly today?”

“Don’t worry! With Grandpa around, this marriage will definitely be settled! Zhao Sisi is lucky. If it were anyone else, they might not be able to settle this marriage so easily,” Luo Cheng said with a smile.

Thinking of the trouble regarding her second uncle’s family, Li Xiaoran felt a headache.

“By the way, so much time has passed. I wonder how the mushrooms my cousin planted are doing!” Li Xiaoran suddenly thought of something. “Why don’t we go take a look together?!” Luo Cheng was also interested and decided to take a look.

Last time, Li Xiaoran’s plan to go up the mountain to pick mushrooms went down the drain, so she could only tell Zhao Yan the method of planting mushrooms and let him figure it out himself.

This time, she came back to see if Zhao Yan had done as she said.

Because the weather was hot, there would definitely be a lot of mosquitoes.

Li Xiaoran changed into a long-sleeved shirt and pants. After applying sunblock and mosquito repellent on her exposed skin, she walked towards the place where Zhao Yan planted mushrooms with Luo Cheng.

When the two of them arrived, they realized that there had been a huge change in this piece of land.

The originally cold and damp place became much cleaner after being tidied up.

The muddy path from before was now paved with gravel.Google seaʀᴄh novelenglish.net . ꜰɪre.nᴇt

Now, even if it was raining, they weren’t afraid of getting their shoes covered in mud.

Li Xiaoran said with a smile, “Looks like my cousin, Zhao Yan, has really put in a lot of effort tidying up this place!”
