When Liu Siyue and Qingwu arrived in town, they first went to the woodworking workshop to see Master Xie. "Madam Liu, you're here. The molds are all finished. Take a look and see if they're okay?"

Liu Siyue picked it up and looked at it. "The craftsmen's skills are really good. I like it very much."

"We've already made the sickle you mentioned. Once the blade is attached, it's lightweight, sharp, and very easy to use. It's just that the threshing machine isn't finished yet."

Liu Siyue picked up the sickle and looked at it. She didn't understand it either, but Master Xie said it was easy to use, so it must be easy to use. "Master Xie said it's easy to use, so it must be easy to use. Make two hundred sickles for me, and each one should come with three blades, so that it's easy to change them in time."

"Okay, I'll do it that way."

After leaving the woodworking workshop, they went to the blacksmith's shop. Liu Siyue remembered this blacksmith; it was from him that she had bought the dagger. "What would you two gentlemen like to buy? We have all the commonly used items here. If you don't have anything, just tell us and we can make it."

Liu Siyue muttered to herself, "They're so arrogant. I want to make machine guns and cannons. Even if I put the blueprints in front of you, you still can't make them."

"We just want to buy a few large pots." Liu Siyue told the blacksmith the dimensions of the pots. Upon hearing this, the blacksmith realized that the pots were very large and that the shop did not have any in stock.

"The pot you requested is not the standard size; it needs to be custom-made."

"Then let's make it to order."

The two agreed on the price and quantity, and Liu Siyue paid a deposit, agreeing to pick up the pot in seven days. Liu Siyue hadn't seen Liu Ruyun for quite some time, and she wanted to go to the shop to see how far they had progressed.

Once outside the blacksmith's shop, Qingwu immediately asked, "Master, where are we going now?"

"Let's go to the restaurant and see if my cousin and the others are there?"

The two walked happily to the restaurant. The door was open, and she could hear the clanging and knocking sounds coming from inside. When she entered the shop, she found that it was under renovation, with some wooden boards and sawdust scattered on the floor.

"Who are you two looking for?" the lead chef asked.

"I'm the sister of the restaurant owner. I wonder if she's here today?"

"Are you looking for the employer? The employer hasn't come these past two days."

Liu Siyue said "Oh," looked inside, then turned around and said, "Go home."

Halfway there, she suddenly said, "Qingwu, let's go to Uncle's farm. It's been a long time since we've been there. Let's see how the rice is growing."

Upon receiving instructions, Qingwu drove the carriage to the estate. The people there greeted her joyfully, "Miss, you've arrived! Master and the others are busy in the fields. Should I go and fetch them?"

"No need, I just came to take a look."

How have you been lately? Do you have enough food? Have you encountered any difficulties in your lives?

"Thank you for your concern, Miss. We are doing well and lack nothing."

"If you encounter any difficulties, be sure to speak up and tell your master."

"Okay, I've got it." Liu Siyue stepped into the field and saw a lush green expanse. The rice seedlings were growing so green and lush, like a big green carpet. It would be so comfortable to lie on it.

The large carpet swayed gently in the breeze. Liu Siyue closed her eyes, feeling the soft wind and greedily inhaling the scent of nature.

It's been so long since I've relaxed like this. I've been so busy all day. I was supposed to go see the peach blossoms, but I don't know if I'll make it in time.

Walking along the ridge for a while, they saw people working there. Sun Rong, with his sharp eyes, spotted Liu Siyue and Qingwu at a glance. "Master, Miss is here."

Liu Dawang stood up from the ground, looking at his niece walking towards him, his smile almost overflowing. "April, what brings you here?"

"Second Uncle, I just went to town and stopped by to check on the rice. How's it growing?"

At this point, Liu Dawang and the people present couldn't hide their smiles. "This rice variety and planting method are really good. Although it's a bit troublesome, look at the survival rate of these seedlings. Almost none of them died, and they are growing exceptionally well, even better than the rice in the village."

"As long as the weather doesn't turn against us, this year will definitely be a bumper harvest."

"Yes, it's clear that Sun Zhuangtou manages the fields very well."

Sun Zhuangtou quickly replied, "It's all thanks to the master and young lady's excellent teaching."

Liu Dawang led Liu Siyue around the fields, pointing here and talking there. After about half an hour, Liu Siyue returned to the village with Liu Dawang.

On the way back, Liu Siyue mentioned that she wanted to take them to the county town for fun. Liu Dawang immediately said, "Siyue, you take your mother and the others to play. She's been cooped up at home all day and has nowhere to go. I won't go; I'll stay home and watch the house."

"Second Uncle, what's so interesting about the house? It's not like there's no one home. Besides, there are so many people at the end of the village, who would dare to cause trouble? Second Uncle, take advantage of the time you have now and go out to relax. When the summer harvest starts, you won't have time to rest at all."

Second Uncle, listen to me, shall we go? You and Mother should both go out and clear your heads.

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

"That's more like it. Let me tell you, I bought a manor in the county town. The environment there is quite nice. Let's go there this time. There's also a Peach Blossom Village nearby. The peach blossoms should be in full bloom right now, and the scenery will be beautiful."

As Liu Dawang listened to Liu Siyue's animated explanation, he knew his niece had a great idea and couldn't bear to spoil her fun. He was a rough and uncultured man; what was so beautiful about peach blossoms compared to rice seedlings in the fields?

The oxcart stopped in front of Liu Dawang's house, and Siyue followed him inside. When Feng saw the uncle and nephew come in, she said, "Why did you two come back together? It's rare for you to come back so early today. You're usually glued to the fields all day long."

Feng scolded Liu Dawang in a coquettish manner, making Liu Dawang feel embarrassed.

Looking at the expressions and interactions between the two, Liu Siyue felt that the couple had a really good relationship. Even when her second uncle was going through such a difficult time at home, he never gave up on his wife, unlike her scumbag father who betrayed her mother's sincere heart and brought her to this unfamiliar time and space. Fortunately, she met her second uncle's family, which made her feel less lonely and allowed her to act spoiled with her mother.

The way Liu Siyue looked at Feng Shi was like looking at her own mother; her eyes were filled with an overwhelming longing. Her eyes were stinging; she missed her mother.

She stared blankly at Madam Feng, who touched her face. "April, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with my face?"

With a nasal voice, Liu Siyue hugged Madam Feng tightly, "Mother, I missed you so much! So much!"

Madam Feng hugged her back and gently patted her back. "What's wrong with you today? If you miss your mother, move back and live with her."

Liu Siyue sniffed. "Mother, I'm fine. I just suddenly feel really sad and want to hug you." She put on a smile again. "Mother, let's go to the main room to talk."

Feng held her hand and looked at Liu Dawang, as if asking, "What's wrong with April today?"

Liu Dawang looked bewildered and scratched his head, indicating that he didn't know. He was fine just now, chatting and laughing all the way home. Who knew things would turn out like this? I don't understand women's minds.

After sitting down in the main room, Madam Feng sat down next to Liu Siyue. "Siyue, if anything is wrong, tell your mother. Don't keep it to yourself."

"Mother, I'm fine."

What I'm trying to say is that in four or five days, our family will go to the village in the county town to stay for a while, just to enjoy the spring flowers. Mom, you can't refuse me.

I'll settle things at home in the next couple of days, then we'll go.

Actually, Ms. Feng was reluctant to go. Ever since the last time the family went to the county town and her daughter was harassed, she had become very averse to the county town. Liu Dawang saw through her thoughts and said, "Let's listen to the child and go out to see the world. It's not good for you to stay at home all the time."
