As Xiao Lingyu passed through the town, she discovered there was a group of people working on the road from the Taoyuan Village to the town.

Mother Xiao looked at them and smiled. "That young man, Gong Tianhao, is really not bad. He said that he would build a road for us, but I didn't expect him to go to work so quickly."

Father Xiao said, "He's doing a good deed. The road is instrumental to a good economy. This means that life at Taoyuan Village will get better. In the future, it'll be more convenient for us to travel. After this road is built, more vegetables and fruits can be sold, and they won't be left to rot in the fields. It was so wasteful."

Mother Xiao smiled. "That's right. After all, Taoyuan Village gets its namesake from peaches. Many villagers grow peaches, and they are crispy and sweet.

"However, due to traffic reasons, other than one or two families who could afford to drive to the city, others could only sell their harvest around the village. Naturally, the sales won't be good since many villagers have their own peach trees." The peach sellers calculated the price of gasoline, it wouldn't make up for the profit. No one was willing to do business that would make them lose money. However, now that the road was getting fixed, they'd get more business opportunities in the future.

When Xiao Lingyu brought her parents home, she saw many villagers with smiles on their faces.

"Village chief, Chengbang, where are you going?" They bumped into the village chief and Xiao Chengbang on the road.

The village chief said with a smile, "The construction team has arrived. We're going to see if there's anything we can help with. We are also sending them some tea and food."

"Zhengyang, Qiuying, you're back."The village chief asked, "Are you alright?"

Father Xiao smiled and said, "I'm fine. After a quick rest, I can get back to work."

Xiao Lingyu immediately cut in. "Dad, the doctor said that you have to rest for at least half a year. Mom, you have to monitor Dad in the future! Don't let him do any heavy task." Most hard workers couldn't sit idle, Father Xiao was no exception. It was also because of Father Xiao's diligence that their family life got better.

Mother Xiao smiled, "Yes, I'll definitely monitor him closely."

Xiao Chengbang laughed, "Zhengyang, you have to listen to your wife and daughter. You need to rest. You can work when you're allowed to."

"That's right!" The village chief chimed in, "Zhengyang, Qiuying, go back and rest well. Qiuying has quite serious injuries too. You should hurry and go back home. Chengbang and I will send these things over to the construction crew."

When Xiao Lingyu and her parents arrived home, it was lunchtime. As they were about to enter the courtyard, Liu Chunjiao ran over with a brazier. She said loudly, "Wait, second brother, sister-in-law! You have to step over this brazier to chase away the bad luck!" This was a custom in the countryside. They believed that stepping over a brazier would leave bad luck outside.

The three walked over to the brazier and entered the front yard.

Liu Chunjiao said excitedly, "Second brother and sister-in-law, you're finally back. It's wonderful to see you back safely. I've already prepared the meal. Let's eat first."

"Dad, you can't eat spicy food yet. You need to eat something light." Xiao Lingyu stopped Father Xiao from picking up the spicy chicken. Father Xiao didn't have any dietary preference, except he adored spicy food. He couldn't survive without spices.
