As He Dashan and his family made dumplings, he could not help but tell his parents about his female colleague, Lin Qiuru.

He Dashans mother asked, Do you like her, Dashan?

He Dashan nodded. Of course, Mother. Shes doing well in the factory, so I want you and Father to visit her parents to propose a marriage as soon as possible.

He Dashans parents had a good impression of Lin Qiuru when they visited the factory to deliver food to their son. They also met her parents once and exchanged a few words with them.

He Dashans parents could tell Lin Qiurus parents were honest people.

Whats Qiurus expression of you?

Its good, Mother. I told her that I would ask my parents to propose marriage, and she agreed.

He Dashans mother happily said, Thats perfect, especially since you received your wages. You two should be able to get married soon.

He Dashan was delighted to hear it. Even his siblings were pleased to know that they would soon have a sister-in-law. The whole family was overjoyed and was in a good mood.

Soon after, He Dashan and Lin Qiuru got engaged. Many others experienced the same thing as He Dashan. Since many of the Luhe villagers worked in the factory, they got to know each other better.

Since there were many other factories nearby, the villagers would even get to know each other on their way to work. If something interesting happened between the factories, they would tell each other about it.

Therefore, He Dashan and Lin Qiuru knew they wanted to marry each other. Their relations.h.i.+p would be better because they liked each other very much.

The village elders gradually became more open-minded. They would allow their children to fall in love and get engaged. Everything in the capital developed excellently.

Lan Ruozhu knew the country was flouris.h.i.+ng whenever he heard the ministers reports. Moreover, the government had gathered plenty of high-yield crops.

Lan Ruozhu then arranged for people to distribute the seeds to the farmers and teach them how to cultivate the crops more efficiently. He believed the production throughout the country would at least double by winter.

Su Binglan and Luo Jinan had been staying in Su Teng Village for a while. The former was busy with many things as she planned several projects and opened more factories in Tenghe Town.

She had even finished establis.h.i.+ng an inn nearby. Afterward, foreign merchants and out-of-towners visited Su Teng Village for fun. Everyone enjoyed staying at the inn, especially since they had never seen another one like it.

Su Binglan had even included a revolving door at the inn. The beds were soft, too, so everyone slept exceedingly well there. People could not help but ask the front desk if the beds and pillows were for sale.

However, the employees said that the beds and pillows only belonged to the inn. As many more guests asked the same question, the employees had to call Su Binglan for help.

Su Binglan then told the manager to inform everyone about her aunts, Madam Zhous, furniture shop. She had ordered the mattresses and pillows from Madam Zhou, after all.

Ultimately, it boosted Madam Zhous business. She received even more clients to build furniture and bedding for. Su Binglan had suggested the soft mattresses and pillows to her aunt.

Madam Zhou had made the mattresses and pillows based on Su Binglans idea to help her with the inns. Madam Zhou did not expect other people to buy the pillows and mattresses.

Madam Zhou was thrilled that her business went so well. She immediately arranged for her employees to make more mattresses and pillows.

Meanwhile, Luo Jinan gathered information about the master of the Black Shadow Pavillion. Su Binglan wanted to heal the master because she knew he was Su Fengmaos foster father.

Luo Jinan had been investigating the master for a long time and had finally found some information about him. Ye Feirans family had provided Luo Jinan with the information, stating that the master of the Black Shadow Pavilion was in the south.

Su Binglan was in disbelief. Wait, you said the master is with the Ye family?

How can that be?

However, she knew Luo Jinans information must be reliable.

Luo Jinan softly explained, Do you remember what Feiran said when she first saw your parents?

After some thought, Su Binglan said, Feiran said Father looked similar to a man in a portrait she had in her house. She also said the man in the portrait was her parents savior.

It seems Fathers foster dad might actually be a member of the Ye family. Then lets go to the south. Wenwu has been asking me to visit for a long time, but I never had the time. We have to go now.

All right, lets do it. Luo Jinan nodded. It was only natural for him to accompany his wife wherever she went.

Su Binglan said, l must clarify my fathers ident.i.ty and the matters regarding the Black Shadow Pavilion. Also, the South has access to many ingredients,

such as crabs and crayfish. Wenwus shops have these things.

Luo Jinan said smilingly, Indeed, those two ingredients were delicious. Your businesses will excel if you add those two dishes to the menus.

Su Binglan was enthusiastic as she discussed such things with her husband.

It seems we have plenty of things to do in the south.

She was excited to experience the local customs and eat the local delicacies with her husband.

Wenwu told me about the many folk customs in the south through his letters. Those customs include local delicacies. I cant wait to taste their local cuisines and bring some home to my parents.

The south also has some fruits that arent available here. Im willing to try as many as possible while were there,

Luo Jinan smiled when he saw his wifes sparkling eyes.

Since the couple had decided to visit the south, Su Binglan told her parents about it. However, she mentioned nothing about the Black Shadow Pavilion because she did not want them to worry. She would only tell her father about it once she settled the matter.

Why are the sudden decision to visit the south? Su Fengmao asked. Su Binglan explained, Wenwu keeps asking me to visit, so Jinan and I are going to see him.

Shen Qiuhua knew her daughter had countless things to do. Still, she nagged Su Binglan for a long time. Shen Qiuhua would always do that wherever her daughter planned to leave the village.

Su Binglan had even grown accustomed to her mothers nagging. Even so, she felt warm inside because she knew her parents were concerned about her..
