Wang Sister-In-Law truly did not disappoint Luo Ge. In the following days, Luo Ge did not interfere with the workshop's affairs at all.
Wang Sister-In-Law had everything well organized, even arranging for the experienced workers to guide the newcomers.
Seeing all this, Luo Ge felt reassured.
...
In the blink of an eye, the day of their departure arrived.
After packing everything, Luo Ge and his group set off in the carriage.
They didn't make a special effort to say goodbye, preferring to leave quietly.
Everything that needed to be said had been said over the past few days.
However, what they didn't expect was that those who wanted to see them off had already been waiting at the village entrance.
Apart from Wang Sister-In-Law and Li Qiao with his wife, the village chief also stood there with the villagers, waiting for them.
From a distance, as they approached, he waved at them.
"Sister-In-Law, Village Chief, Auntie, why are you all here?"
Surprised by the scene, Luo Ge was taken aback, and Gu Jinchen jumped down from the carriage, bringing Yun Mu and Yun Yi with him.
Seeing them, the village chief smiled.
"You two kids, leaving today without telling us? If we hadn't seen your carriages being prepared, we would still be in the dark."
"Everyone heard the news and wanted to come see you off, so we've been here since this morning."
The village chief said with a smile, his eyes revealing his reluctance to let them go.
Gu Jinchen was his old friend's child, whom he had watched grow up. Over the past year, he had seen how this young couple had grown and prospered.
They had even expanded the workshop, giving the villagers the chance to live better lives.
He truly was the biggest contributor to their village.
As the village chief, he was proud to see a child of the village make something of himself.
But as an elder, watching the child leave home, he also felt reluctant.
Still, he didn't say much, only adding finally.
"Remember to come back and visit."
"Yes, we will."
"If the village can help you in any way, remember to tell me. Although I'm not very accomplished, our clan is large, and we are all behind you."
"Okay."
Seeing Gu Jinchen's typically reserved demeanor, the village chief didn't say much more, just patted him on the shoulder.
Listening to the village chief, Wang Sister-In-Law also took Luo Ge's hand, her smile wide but not hiding the tears in her eyes.
"Remember to write often, I'll have Tie Dan write for me, and take good care of yourself too."
"Okay, Sister-In-Law, you too, and Aunt Zhang and Old Master Wang, take care of yourselves too."
Luo Ge responded, also turning to look at Aunt Zhang and Old Master Wang behind Wang Sister-In-Law.
The old couple nodded repeatedly, "We will."
After Luo Ge and Wang Sister-In-Law finished speaking, Qin Mianmian came up and hugged Luo Ge, nestling her head in his shoulder.
"I'll miss you. If there's a chance, we'll come to visit you."
"Okay."
Meanwhile, Yun Mu and Yun Yi, these two little ones, also hugged their little friends tightly.
"We will also study hard in the future, striving to meet with Yun Mu and Yun Yi as soon as possible."
"Good, let's all work hard together, and in the future, we will pass the exams together to bring honor to our village."
"Alright!!"
...On the carriage, Lady Qian and a few children quietly watched the scene, waiting for Luo Ge and the others.
...After a simple farewell with the villagers, Luo Ge and the others did not linger.
And thus, they embarked on their journey to Ningzhou.
