This day,
Zhou Ri was idly sweeping the snow in front of the door.
In fact, with his current status, he did not need to do such things.
However, he was looking forward to Song Qingchao's return, so he stayed here whenever he was free.
Finally!
He waited.
At first, he didn't believe it, but he saw the continuously enlarging figure and the familiar person in front.
He was so excited that he almost called out.
He directly lifted his sleeves and ran back.
His commotion directly startled everyone at Sifangtai.
Song Qingchao and the others were a little stunned by the encirclement.
After not seeing each other for two years, the team had indeed grown a lot.
He really didn't know how they managed to evade the guards outside.
The Zhou brothers were all very excited.
Especially the fourth, fifth, and sixth brothers, they were crying so hard they almost fainted.
Song Qingchao looked at them and felt that it was not in vain that he had kept them by his side.
As they walked in, they still hadn't seen their younger brother.
He asked about it.
They said he had gone to another mountain peak to survey the terrain.
Aunt Fang also brought Liu Zhe'er to watch Song Qingchao cry.
She only cried, saying that she had lost weight and become darker.
But Song Qingchao didn't care about these things.
She hugged Aunt Fang and comforted her.
Aunt Fang was managing everything at Sifangtai.
So many people were indeed a lot of effort.
When she left, Aunt Fang still had no white hair, but now she had white hair. Fortunately, Zhe'er was helping.
Now Zhe'er had grown into a handsome person, with big, watery eyes.
Being with Ying Zhong was like a golden couple.
Ying Zhong finally saw Bai Youan and also cried out, leaning on his master's body and refusing to move.
He rubbed his snot and tears all over Bai Youan's body.
Bai Youan was still wearing white today, which displeased him greatly, but he still didn't say anything, only indulging him.
After Ying Zhong finally finished crying, he dragged them to see his small hospital.
The medical team now had over a hundred people.
And with different divisions of labor, they could even treat common minor illnesses.
What Song Qingchao was relieved about was that they had opened an obstetrics and gynecology department. Kuaishuge.
Zhou Zhengxi said that after the harvest, there would be children born here.
Two years had passed, and the little babies could already talk.
It was just that they hadn't been given names, only nicknames.
Song Qingchao asked why.
Zhou Zhengxi said, "We wanted to wait for the master to bestow a character."
Many people had never seen Song Qingchao, and now that they saw their master, they were extremely excited.
Song Qingchao thought for a moment and finally chose the character "Ning."
It represented peace, joy, and well-being.
She hoped that these children would no longer have to suffer the ravages of war.
As soon as this word was decided, the crowd erupted.
"My child is named Ning Liang."
"Ning Zhi."
"Ning Lang."
In a short while, many names were revealed.
Song Qingchao truly felt the enthusiasm of the people this time.
Finally, after much persuasion, they managed to get people to disperse.
When the crowd dispersed.
She realized that not only had the people at Sifangtai changed, but the entire base had changed.
Mu Mu had indeed spent two years building the structures from the blueprints.
Now everyone no longer lived in caves.
Zhou Zhengxi kept telling her about the changes, as if taking her to see the troops training.
As she followed, the Bai Family Army behind her kept exclaiming in amazement and clapping their hands in approval.
Song Qingchao knew that this army had been formed.
Then, she was pulled by Zhou Yi to take a look at the trained secret guard camp.
This truly opened Song Qingchao's eyes.
This boy Zhou Yi had some skills.
Zhou Er and Zhou San had been following Liu Zhe'er and Song Qingmu, and now one could manage the household, and the other could build houses.
Zhou Ri directly pulled Song Qingchao to see the toilet he had renovated.
Now it was not only clean and hygienic, but everything was also fully automated.
Most importantly, it was linked to composting and a biogas digester had been built.
Everything here was a pleasant surprise.
Song Qingchao moved through the crowd and pulled Ji Yanzhuo over, "You are still the quietest, why don't you show me your results?"
Ji Yanzhuo smiled shyly, "It's not time for class yet, but I believe I haven't disappointed Miss."
As they walked, they passed by the fields. It was winter, and there was no one in the fields, but one could see the neat land and the farming tools piled under the sheds.
The farming tools now used iron.
They also passed by the paper mill.
The paper mill was no longer a small-scale operation.
Along with the movable type printing press, there were three large tiled houses.
Elder Tian and Elder Tan pushed the credit to each other.
This made Song Qingchao unsure of whom to thank.
In the end, she simply thanked both of them together.
But unexpectedly, the two of them ended up arguing.
"It's all your fault, Old Man Tian!"
"Why is it my fault? You, Old Tan, are hypocritical."
Song Qingchao was bewildered, and then Zhou Zhengxi explained that they often behaved like this and would be fine soon.
Song Qingchao was finally relieved.
At this moment, Su Nanyi came out with the account book, with Shui Luo following behind her.
Shui Luo was now dignified and poised, and she was still proficient in accounting.
However, the most surprising thing was her belly.
Song Qingchao asked in surprise, "Are you going to be a mother?"
Shui Luo nodded happily.
She also said with a blush, "The baby's father has already decided on the name. Whether it's a boy or a girl, they will be called Ning Le. We just hope he can grow up safely."
"That would be excellent."
Song Qingchao was also happy for her, but she still took the account book.
Looking at the numbers on it.
Song Qingchao finally understood what "Luoyang paper is expensive" meant.
The profit was more than what she earned from mining gold.
Su Nanyi was also beaming.
He said that he didn't need Song Qingchao to help him seize power anymore. With the current paper mill, he could surpass the Su family by taking only thirty percent of the profit.
He no longer considered the Su family in Chang'an.
As he was about to say more, Chang Yu ran over with a book.
"Teacher Ji, it's time for class."
Su Nanyi saw her arrive and quickly put away his greedy nature, pretending to be solemn.
Shao Yu also blushed shyly.
"Alright, let's go and see the school."
In the end, Song Qingchao found an excuse to have the two of them follow.
Unexpectedly, in two years, everyone had formed their own bonds.
She tilted her head and looked at Bai Youan, who was smiling warmly.
Not only did everyone have someone, but she also had someone to care about now.
"Why is Miss Song looking at me like this?"
He "slapped" his fan against his chest, his eyes smiling and revealing the snow.
Song Qingchao also played along.
"This young lady finds Mr. Bai's appearance exceedingly beautiful, hence my admiration."
