embarrassed that she wished she could crawl into a crack in the ground!She's really used to it, used to it!When I was little, lying on the kang and looking at the ceiling was so boring that I would b..."Go tell Mrs. Li, the Master is back!"

“Mr. [Last Name], it's been a long time! Finally, you’re back!”

"With such a long convoy, just how much stuff is it hauling!"

"Mister, Mister!"

A crowd surged forward, surrounding the first carriage.

Li Zhensheng jumped out of the carriage and smiled, bowing to the crowd.

"My fellow countrymen, long time no see!"

He was tanned as dark as charcoal, and when he smiled, a row of white teeth appeared, especially festive, making everyone laugh even harder.

"Sir, you're tanned from the sun, everything at home is fine. Sir, please rest assured!"

Someone also asked, "What about Jia Yi and Liu Yang Why haven't we seen those two"

“I brought two men from the south, they went to the city to deliver someone and hurried back!”

Li Zhensheng replied with a word, and at this time, several villagers who had gone to Quanzhou together to open their eyes from the end of the convoy walked over.

Everyone couldn't help but exchange warm greetings once again, all of them extremely happy.

The village head was on the mountain and saw them from afar. He hurried over and shouted, "We're all family, it doesn't matter this little while. Let's talk later tonight. The Liu family's wagon team is probably coming to haul fruit soon, everyone hurry and get busy."

Li Zhensheng bowed to the old man and asked, "Are you about to harvest the fruit from your orchard Or will Lord Liu still be in charge of selling them"

"That's right, Master Liu has his eye on it. He comes to take a look every few days, afraid someone else will get there first."

The village head beamed with pride, pointing at the newly built archway of the geomantic treasure spot. "This is just finished," he said with a smile, "As long as we have this archway, we won't worry about selling our fruits!"

Li Zhensheng hurriedly said, "Uncle, I'll go home first and come back later to pick fruit."

Go on, go on, hurry home and rest. We don't need you to help pick the fruit. You've traveled so far, why not stay and chat with your mother.

The village chief waved his hand and opened his mouth to drive people away.

Everyone greeted Li Zhensheng in succession, “Mr. Great, let’s talk tonight.”

"Mr. Big, could you please tell us about what's new outside tonight"

"Sir, if you go out again, it's my turn to follow and broaden my horizons!"

"You're early. It should be my turn now."

Amidst laughter and jest, everyone carried their baskets and pails into the mountain.

The mountain is full of red fruit, truly tempting to the eye.

Li Zhensheng thought for a moment, then called out to a villager, “Brother, please pick two baskets of fruit and deliver them to the courtyard. Tell the village head, and charge it to our family account.”

"Okay! Don't worry, sir, I'll send them over as soon as I pick them." The villager immediately agreed.

The convoy resumed its journey and arrived at Li's house in a short while.

The old woman was carrying her granddaughter, about to head towards the village entrance. When she saw her son arrive, her eyes immediately welled up with tears.

"Zhen Sheng, why have you been gone for so long this time If you don't come back soon, it will be Mid-Autumn Festival!"

"Uncle, Uncle!" Jiayin was also waving her two little chubby hands and shouting loudly.

Li Zhensheng hurriedly stepped forward, hugged his niece, and then was about to kneel down and kowtow to his mother.

The old woman helped him up and scolded him with a slap.

"Don't be so polite! Are you tired, hungry"

Li Zhensheng bit back his tears and carefully looked at his mother. Seeing that she hadn't lost weight and her complexion was rosy, he spoke.

"Mother, don't worry, everything is fine. Jiayi, Liu Yang, and the villagers all returned safely! It's just that we brought too much cargo this time, which made our journey slow. We hurried along, finally making it back before the Mid-Autumn Festival."

After that, he kissed his chubby little niece again and smiled, “Uncle didn't catch up with our Funiu'er's birthday, but Uncle brought you a gift, you must like it!”

“Thank you, Uncle! You’re the best!” Jia Yin hugged her uncle’s neck and beamed with delight.

At this moment, Li Laosi, who was patrolling the west mountain with his men, also heard the news and hurried back home.

Brothers meeting, embraced each other, and patted each other's backs heavily, everything was conveyed without words.

Li Zhensheng brought back too many things this time. The Li family's courtyard was bustling with people and it was not easy to store them.

The old woman then took the key and opened Mrs. Cui's yard.

All the goods were moved in gradually, filling every inch of space in the yard.

Thankfully, there's no need to worry about rain during this time of year. Leaving things outdoors is fine.

At this time, Li Lao Er brought back a villager carrying two baskets of fruit.

"Big brother, I was in the valley and only just now found out you were back!"

As he spoke, he quickly distributed fruit to the members of the convoy and smiled, "You all arrived at just the right time. The fruits from our mountain are ripe. We previously offered a few baskets to the palace, and the emperor said they were excellent."

"Everyone, try some! Taking care of the convoy this whole way was truly hard work. If you're not in a hurry, stay and have lunch with us. Let's make some noise!"

The head of the caravan quickly bowed and thanked them, motioning for everyone to distribute the fruit. Then he smiled and said, "Thank you both for your hospitality. But my brothers are all from around Xindu. They've been away for several months and miss their families. So we're going back now. We will definitely visit again in the future and have a good drink with both of you."

Li Zhensheng also said, "Don't stay, Lao Er. There will be other opportunities. We are all familiar with each other on the road, we are not outsiders."

After saying that, he patted the manager on the shoulder. "These past few days I'll go find you, we'll settle accounts, and then talk about future business."

"Well then, sir, we shall take our leave now."

The leader brought a convoy to see them off. Then, with a cheerful laugh, he carried some fruit and jumped onto the empty truck before bidding farewell.

After the caravan had gone far, Li Lao Er asked, "Big brother, do you want to take over this caravan"

Li Laoda nodded, "These people have been going back and forth between Quanzhou and Xindu for years, they have some skill. But they belong to someone else, but it shouldn't be difficult to buy them over. Recently there is an opportunity, I plan to give it a try. We'll discuss it later, no need to rush."

At this time, Jia Yi and Liu Yang also rode back quickly.

Before the horse had even come to a complete stop, Jiayi leaped off and rushed into his grandmother's arms, shouting, "Grandma, I'm back!"

After saying that, he turned his head and snatched his sister from his uncle's arms, "Funiu'er, I brought you gifts, so many good things!"

Jia Yin happily kicked her little feet and kissed her brother's face several times.

"Third Brother is the best, woo woo, Fu Niuer misses Third Brother the most!"

Li Zhensheng couldn't help teasing his niece, "Didn't you just say that your uncle is the best In just a short while, you changed your mind and said your brother was the best"

"This little girl," Old Li chuckled and scolded, "has a mother only when she has milk! Whether you're good or not, get the good stuff first before talking!"

Everyone burst into laughter. Liu Yang, remembering his family, said a couple of words and hurried home to see his parents.

The old woman called for Shuiyun and quickly ladled a bowl of pork floss noodles, to fill her son's stomach.

Li Zhensheng only then discovered that a new person had moved into the household. He asked, "Was this person bought by the family"

The old woman chuckled, "This was on Funiu'er's birthday. The Marquis sent her wet nurse and two maidservants as gifts, plus an extra estate." this commotion!" Old Lady Li chided, tapping each of them lightly, but her smile widened with amusement.Jiārén searched everywhere and saw Jiāyīn coming out of the house. He picked her up and gave he...
