As dawn began to break, the sound of horse hooves approached, stirring Da Bai from his nest with a rush. Now living in the workshop area as its guardian, Da Bai looked up, then darted towards the village.

After Tang Jinghong got off the horse, his eyes met Da bia’s.

Da Bai turned around and ran towards Chu Qingzhi’s house. He went upstairs and knocked on Chu Qingzhi’s door.

Chu Qingzhi was very puzzled. Usually, no one would knock so early in the morning. She walked over to open the door in confusion, but she didn’t expect it to be Da Bai. “What happened?”

Da Bai bit Chu Qingzhi’s clothes and tugged at it before running downstairs.

Chu Qingzhi was even more confused and followed it downstairs.

When she reached the entrance of the courtyard, a blue figure suddenly barged into her eyes. He was handsome and tall.

Under the faint golden morning light, Tang Jinghong’s black hair fluttered in the wind. He pursed his lips gently, his handsome face looking a little haggard.

Chu Qingzhi went up to him in surprise. “Why are you back?”

Tang Jinghong stretched out his arm and pulled Chu Qingzhi into his arms. “I was worried about you and rushed back overnight.”

Chu Qingzhi was touched. “I’m really fine.”

Tang Jinghong’s eyes were as gentle as water. “I can only be completely at ease when I see that you’re fine.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled. “You’ve been on the road all night. Rest for a while. I’ll make breakfast for you.”

“I’ll go with you.” Tang Jinghong specially came back to see Chu Qingzhi, unwilling to let her out of his sight.

Chu Qingzhi smiled and nodded. “Alright, let’s go.”

Tang Jinghong’s return surprised everyone, but when they thought of what had happened last night, they understood the reason. They praised Tang Jinghong in their hearts, and at the same time, it made the women raise their standards for their other half.

In the kitchen, Chu Qingzhi said as she made breakfast, “You came back at the right time. I’ll make you a soy sauce duck for lunch.”

Tang Jinghong said, “I’ll help you make it. When I learn it, I’ll make it for you in the future.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, “Then you have to learn well.”

“Don’t worry.”

Wu Yaqing walked in. She lowered her head slightly and clasped her hands together. She sighed and said, “Qingzhi, I have something to tell you.”

Yaqing had always been happy-go-lucky. Why was she so dejected? Chu Qingzhi found it very strange. “What do you want to say?”

“My aunt came to look for me yesterday.” Wu Yaqing’s eyebrows were knitted together. “She wanted to stop me from being with Lu Yichen. What should I do?”

Chu Qingzhi had once predicted that it was especially difficult for Wu Yaqing and Lu Yichen to be together. Now, the difficulty arose. “Is there no room for negotiation?”

“She’s very firm,” Wu Yaqing sighed, “I’m currently just stalling, leaving us both some room.”

“You’re doing the right thing by not confronting her head-on; otherwise, you’d be at a disadvantage,” Chu Qingzhi advised.

“What should I do?” Wu Yaqing looked genuinely distressed.

Chu Qingzhi suggested, “Find out why your mother doesn’t want you two together.”

“That makes sense. If we identify the problem, we can overcome it, right?!” Wu Yaqing brightened.

“Your mother is just worried about you, you know?” Chu Qingzhi added.

Wu Yaqing, now understanding, nodded, “I see that now.”

“Why not invite your aunt over for a meal?” Chu Qingzhi proposed.

“I’ll talk to her,” Wu Yaqing decided, hugging Chu Qingzhi gratefully, feeling lucky to have such a sincere friend, valuing her companionship above all else.

After breakfast, Chu Qingzhi took Tang Jinghong to see the new home for Da Bai and the others.

“Was it built so quickly?” Tang Jinghong marveled at the changes around them, silently admiring Chu Qingzhi’s efficiency.

“It’s all thanks to Wan Haonan and his team. They built it in just over a day. Everyone Is talented and capable,” Chu Qingzhi praised.

As Tang Jinghong was about to respond, a surprised voice called out from behind, “General Tang.”

This was followed by enthusiastic greetings, “Greetings, General Tang.”

Tang Jinghong turned around and looked at everyone. “No need for formalities.”

“General Tang, thank you, and thank you, Miss Chu Qingzhi,” Wan Haonan expressed with excitement and admiration, “Miss Chu Qingzhi not only healed our wounds but also provided us with work. We don’t know how to repay her.”

Tang Jinghong slightly softened his expression, “Just follow Chu Qingzhi’s instructions and do well in the tasks she assigns. That will be thanks enough.”

“Rest assured, General, we will do our best,” Wan Haonan assured with determination.

Tang Jinghong nodded, “Carry on with your work, there’s nothing here.”

The soldiers bowed and returned to their tasks, their excitement taking a while to subside.

Tang Jinghong was greatly admired and respected among the soldiers, a true idol in their eyes. Even a glimpse of him in the camp could stir excitement for a long time.

Watching everyone’s reaction, Chu Qingzhi noted to herself how Tang Jinghong’s leadership had truly won the hearts of his people.

They continued towards the horse stable.

Fu Bao was walking out to send Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao to school. It did not expect to encounter Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong when it came out, so it stopped.

Chu Qingzhi petted Fu Bao, “Go and come back soon. There are many things waiting for you to handle.”

Fu Bao nodded, its tail wagging to show understanding.

“Off you go,” Chu Qingzhi smiled.

Fu Bao walked away at a brisk pace.

Inside the stable, Tang Jinghong skillfully fetched food for the horses, reminiscent of his early days in the military. “When I first joined the army, I started with feeding the horses.”

So he was quite experienced, Chu Qingzhi thought as she stepped forward to help, noticing Hou Fu approaching.

Chu Qingzhi didn’t notice anything at first glance, but when she took a second look, she realized that something was wrong. Hou Fu’s stomach seemed to have become bigger.

Using her internal vision, she discovered Hou Fu was pregnant, about a month along.

Tang Jinghong walked over and placed his palm on the side of Hou Fu’s stomach. He was very particular about his technique. After touching for a while, he said, “Fu Bao has a foal in her stomach.”

Surprised, Chu Qingzhi asked, “You can tell?”

Tang Jinghong nodded, “Yes, I learned it while taking care of horses.”

Impressed by his versatility, Chu Qingzhi complimented Tang Jinghong inwardly. She sent a surge of spiritual energy into Hou Fu, “You won’t work anymore. Rest well, and I’ll find you some herbs for a healthy pregnancy.”

With a foal on the way, Hou Fu was now a top priority. Chu Qingzhi planned to praise Fu Bao upon its return.

After checking on the horses, they visited the pig and cattle sheds still under construction.

The cattle shed was nearing completion, progressing rapidly.

The progress of the brick kiln was not slow either. When Wan Haonan and the rest came over to build the shed, Chu Qingzhi asked Shen Ruyue to hire people to work in the brick kiln. There were more people, and the construction of the brick kiln was progressing every day..
