Meizi had a son, and not long after, Guizhi gave birth to a daughter. That year, a joyful and festive atmosphere filled all of Qingnan Village. Aside from the weddings and births, it was mainly because life had gotten better. Everyone's spirits were higher; they were busy and bustling, brimming with energy.
The village head, Li Gengtian, was especially proud and full of drive.
He had every reason to be proud. After all, what other village head could boast such remarkable achievements? Plus, the burden on his son Li Changyu's heart had finally been lifted. Not only was he now engaged to someone from the Gao Family, but his business was also flourishing. And as it happened, that business was directly tied to all of the village's produce. Consequently, he was completely devoted to village affairs, often discussing matters with young men like Qingmu, Zhang Huai, and Li Changming, and did his utmost to support their reasonable suggestions.
