The family returned home one day before Madame Qiao and her entourage did. And the once cold house became lively once again.
Although Shao Dalang and Ms. Xu were not present, they were not forgotten. They received numerous gifts from Ms. Fang, including materials for clothes, needlework supplies, and food and clothing for the children. Qiao Xuan and Yang Xiaoni also prepared presents for Ms. Xu.
Yang Xiaoni gave her a variety of pastries, nuts, and snacks, while Qiao Xuan gifted her a set of cosmetics and a pair of beautiful gold hairpins. Taotao also contributed by giving her a set of threads and needles.
Ms. Xu was overjoyed to receive these gifts.
Upon their return, Shao Yunduan went to check on the progress of the school construction.
The Land Officer and elderly men from the clan were overseeing the construction, and everything was going well.
