Traveling back to ancient times to get rich

Chapter 54 Planning Materials

Ye Qingchen stared with interest at Gu Changfeng's slightly naive face, a smile welling up in her heart. This guy, he's practically a child! But oh well, she couldn't be bothered to argue with him anymore; after all, she'd really exhausted herself today. So, Ye Qingchen dragged her weary body slowly to the bed, ready to get some rest.

However, just as she was about to close her eyes and drift off to sleep, she suddenly remembered that there was an important matter she hadn't dealt with yet—she had promised to provide the village with a batch of grain today! Thinking of this, Ye Qingchen forced herself to stay awake and focused her mind to examine her mysterious space. What she saw surprised and delighted her: the land that had been cleared was now covered with lush, plump crops!

Gazing at the promising harvest before her, Ye Qingchen was overjoyed, but she didn't forget the responsibilities she bore. Although the space had already produced a considerable amount of grain, she knew it was far from enough to meet the village's needs. Therefore, after careful consideration, Ye Qingchen decided to personally travel to Lu City, not far away, the next day to purchase more grain. Furthermore, she would also select some high-quality seeds to take back, so that they could yield even more abundant harvests in the village in the future, ensuring everyone could live a life free from want.

She turned her gaze once more to the rows of neatly arranged textile machines, pondering to herself. Given the current situation, besides the necessary supplies, perhaps she could provide them with some high-quality fabric and urgently needed medicines. After all, in that rather large village, people's needs were diverse and complex.

Thinking of this, she frowned, realizing that she alone would likely be unable to complete all the preparations. Therefore, she decided to immediately send someone to inform Gu Changfeng, instructing him to dispatch an experienced and highly skilled doctor to the village to ensure the health and safety of its residents. Only in this way could the goal of enabling everyone to live and work in peace and contentment be truly achieved.

Her gaze then fell upon the poultry and livestock nearby. These animals were all carefully raised, each one plump and healthy. She thought that some should be sent to the people in the village to improve their meals and add some enjoyment to their lives. In addition, a certain amount of silver as economic support would surely play a positive role in promoting their development.

However, delivering these items to the village smoothly was no easy task. Most of the items were stored in her unique, mysterious space, and without a plausible excuse to personally contact Gu Changfeng's men, it would be impossible to retrieve them and deliver them to their destination. Therefore, in the next few days, she had to rack her brains to come up with a perfect reason to legitimately handle this crucial matter.

Then she sat there quietly, her thoughts surging like a tidal wave, churning and intertwining in her mind. However, as time passed, weariness gradually crept into her heart. Her eyelids grew heavy, and her consciousness began to blur. Lost in thought, she finally succumbed to the overwhelming drowsiness, slowly closed her eyes, and drifted into a sweet dream.

Meanwhile, Gu Changfeng silently watched her as she slept. Looking at her peaceful face and recalling all the things she had done for him, a deep sense of gratitude welled up within him. Those heartwarming moments flashed before his eyes like scenes from a movie: her selfless act of protecting him; her tireless preparation of delicious meals for him; her patient listening to his troubles and offering comfort and encouragement… Every detail was etched into his memory.

He quietly approached the bedside, carefully reaching out to gently tuck the blanket around Ye Qingchen, afraid of waking her. After doing so, he couldn't resist leaning down and placing a soft kiss on her delicate face. The kiss was filled with tenderness and love, as if a response to all his devotion. Then, contentedly, he lay down beside her, closed his eyes, and gradually drifted off to sleep.

In this tranquil mountain village, free from the noise and disturbances of the outside world, both felt incredibly relaxed. Immersed in each other's company, their minds and bodies found great solace. As a result, they slept exceptionally soundly and deeply that night, without the slightest sign of being disturbed.

Time flew by, and before they knew it, it was the next morning. As the first rays of sunlight streamed through the window into the room, they shone on the bed. Little Yue'er was being held by Ye Qingchen, who was being held by Gu Changfeng. Ye Qingchen woke up, and Gu Changfeng, sensing the movement, also woke up. They got up, removed the steel needles from the club the night before, Ye Qingchen put them away, and then left.

Outside, Dong Sheng's mother and Ya'er stood at the doorway, glancing into the house from time to time, while Dong Sheng, Han Zhi, and Zhao Fei waited by their side. Their faces were full of concern, as if they were afraid that the three distinguished guests inside might suddenly make some request.

Just then, Ye Qingchen slowly woke up. When he saw the anxious faces of the people waiting outside the door, a sense of regret welled up in his heart. Oh dear, how could I have slept for so long! These kind people have been waiting outside for quite some time now.

Ye Qingchen quickly got up, hurriedly straightened his clothes, and then walked quickly to the door, asking the people outside, "Aunties, what brings you here?"

Upon hearing this, Dong Shengniang quickly smiled and said, "It's nothing urgent. We just made some delicious tea and snacks and thought we'd like the two young masters and Miss Xiaoyue to try them. Also, we agreed to travel today, so it would be best if we set off as soon as possible. After all, the journey is not safe, and leaving early will help us avoid any unexpected dangers along the way." As she spoke, she gently patted Ye Qingchen's shoulder, her eyes full of affection.

Ye Qingchen thought to herself, "Well, it seems I've got someone who cares about me now. Dong Shengniang is treating me and Gu Changfeng like both mistresses and children, just like Aunt Gu at home. Looks like I won't lack for affection in the future." She simply said, "Okay, I'll go wake Xiaoyue'er, and then we'll go eat!" Dong Shengniang, upon hearing that Xiaoyue'er was also an adopted child, said, "Young Master Ye, Xiaoyue'er can stay with me from now on, so you two grown men won't have to look after a child." Ye Qingchen thought that made sense, so she agreed and went to eat with them.
