The audience was deeply moved. Many of them had family members who had served in the military, or even had served in the military themselves. Soldiers also have feelings; they missed their mothers and their beloved girls...

After the girls on stage stepped down, there was a long and enthusiastic round of applause!

Some people even shouted that they hadn't seen enough!

Not wanting to attract too much attention, Jingxue stood up, handed the drumsticks back to the musician, and turned her head to see Ye Muchen and Qin Jing not far away.

Hey! This Qin Jing, I was just wondering how to find him!

Jingxue nodded twice at Qin Jing, signaling him to come find her!

Ye Muchen's face immediately darkened!

Startled, Qin Jing quickly explained, "Cousin, my cousin and sister-in-law must be looking for me about business. Please don't misunderstand!"

"Get lost! Don't come with me to the military village!"

"Okay! Okay! I won't go! I'll find you another day~!" Qin Jing dismounted, tossed the reins to his attendant, and walked through the crowd toward Jing Xue.

Ye Muchen pulled on the reins, the horse turned its head, and went off down another street!

Jingxue came down from the stage, and Qin Jing had already arrived at the entrance of the beauty salon.

The two went to a quiet place to talk.

"Sister-in-law, well done! You did a great job!" Qin Jing gave Jingxue a thumbs up.

Jingxue noticed that Qin Jing's thumb was wrapped with a small strip of cloth. "Huh? What happened to your finger?"

Qin Jing then noticed that his finger was still bandaged. "Oh! It's nothing. I got a scrape yesterday when I was setting up the heated kang bed for my parents at the manor, and my mother insisted that I keep it bandaged!"

"It's good that you're alright! Here's the thing, I have plastic sheeting for the greenhouse now. Hurry up and find someone to dig a well for me. I'll go to the village today; I need to leave some of my building materials there!"

"Okay! No problem! I'll find her for you right away. So, is my restaurant business on the agenda yet?"

Jingxue smiled and nodded slightly. "Once I'm done with the greenhouse business, I'll revise the menu for your Mingyue Tower. By the way, do you own a grain shop?"

Qin Jing sighed, "There used to be one, but I had to close it down the year before last!"

Seeing Jingxue's questioning gaze, he continued, "Originally, my grain shop only sold grain from the three of our farms. These past two years have been bad, so we've given all our grain to my cousin!"

Jingxue understood. "My grain shop is too conspicuous. Could you open another grain shop? Two would be even better! Also, do you have a large warehouse?"

Qin Jing thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. Leave these matters to me. I will take care of them as soon as possible, whether it's the grain shop or the warehouse."

Jingxue felt that her decision to cooperate with Qin Jing was absolutely the right one!

"It's a deal! Go find someone to dig a well as soon as possible!"

"Okay! Then I'll be going now, cousin-in-law."

Jingxue nodded, watching Qin Jing stride away.

On the high platform, Manager Peng finished her promotion, and customers had already entered the store.

The three children were waiting for Jingxue at the door. When they saw her waving to them, they followed her into the carriage to Li's Grain Shop.

There were quite a few people at the grain shop, all watching Zhang Niangzi demonstrate how to cook, while Zhang Daming was peeling potatoes with a small cleaver next to him.

Seeing this, Jingxue hurriedly used her consciousness to enter the space to find a peeler, and sure enough, there was one with a wooden handle.

Next to Zhang Niangzi was a table with a basin of water and several bowls on it. A waiter was holding a spoon and kept putting a spoonful of cornmeal porridge into the bowls, reminding her from time to time, "Free samples. Wash the bowl after you've tasted it, next person!"

I don't know who came up with this idea; Jingxue only suggested offering free samples, and it seems to have worked well!

When An'an saw Zhang Daming, she immediately squeezed over to talk to him.

Jingxue led the two girls into the grain shop, where Manager Cai was busy calculating accounts.

"Manager Cai, Madam Zhang and the others have moved in!"

Manager Cai looked up and saw Jingxue. He wanted to put down his work, but Jingxue gestured for him to continue. "Miss, they tidied up at home last night. After dawn, two of my employees and I drove over to help move them over. Everything is settled. Her mother-in-law and daughter are behind. Her mother-in-law insisted on working, and the little girl is being looked after by her grandmother!"

"Oh! Just move it over, Manager Cai. I'll be going to the estate in the next few days. If there's not enough grain in the warehouse, just send someone to find me!"

"Yes! Miss."

"Also, tell two of your men to go to the carriage and get a peeler, the kind you use to peel potatoes and such. Put it in the shop and sell it for two coins each!"

Manager Cai immediately said to the busy workers, "Two of you, go and move the things from the carriage by the door!"

Two workers came over, and Jingxue warned them, "Be careful, there's a peeler inside, don't cut your hand!"

"Understood, boss!"

Jingxue, accompanied by her two little followers, went to the backyard, where Grandma Zhang and Zhang Ying'er were washing vegetables.

"Grandma, that's enough, they're all washed! Just put them in the basin, here!" Zhang Ying pulled the wooden basin over with her right hand and reached out with her left hand to help her grandmother hold the vegetables.

"Just wash it clean, and your mother can cook for everyone when she gets back at noon!"

Hearing footsteps, Zhang Ying'er turned around and saw Jingxue and the other two. She said, "Grandma, our dear sister is here!" As she spoke, she helped her grandmother to her feet.

Grandma Zhang heard someone come in and quickly wiped her hands. "Miss Nan, oh no, the master is here!"

Jingxue walked over, took Grandma Zhang's hand, and Zhang Ying'er deftly carried the wooden basin to the kitchen.

"Grandma Zhang, if your eyes are bothering you, you shouldn't work! I'll be away for a few days, and I'll treat your eyes when I get back!" Jingxue said, holding her slightly cool hand.

"No rush, no rush! I haven't seen you for years, I'm used to it! You're a great person with many things to do, don't worry about an old woman like me... Master, thank you! You've been so good to our family, let me kowtow to you!" The old lady was about to kneel down.

How could Jingxue possibly let her kowtow to her!

He quickly used some force to pull the old woman away, saying, "Grandma Zhang, please don't do this! If you keep doing this, I won't treat your eyes!"

The old lady was about to cry again, but Jingxue sighed and said, "Grandma Zhang, I'm relieved that you've settled things. Take good care of the two children, and things will get better and better!"

Grandma Zhang kept nodding and saying thank you, while Runyue and Yingying took out snacks for Zhang Ying'er from their pink bags.

Jingxue comforted the old man a couple more times before leaving the grain shop and heading straight for the manor. At this pace, she estimated she wouldn't arrive until noon.

Ye Muchen left the city gate and headed straight for the military village five miles away, but the lyrics of those songs kept echoing in his ears: "The mountains and rivers of the motherland are connected to my heart, and we will never allow wolves to invade. The army and the people are connected heart to heart. Everywhere there is a mother's love, and everywhere there are smiling faces of relatives!"

He felt that the song expressed his true feelings; although the words were very straightforward, every line touched his heart!

"Jingxue! Jingxue! What kind of woman are you?"

Ye Muchen felt that even that brat had captured his heart!
