The entire village was filled with joy in the afternoon.
For the first time in many years, someone from the village could marry a bride from the town, and Charlie Thompson's million-dollar bride gift was the talk of the villagers.
After discussions between the two families, the wedding date was set, more than a month later.
The aunt held my hand, expressing endless thanks.
Grandpa and Grandma were even happier, urging us to have children soon.
Finally, I managed to free myself and wandered around the construction site with Brian Anderson and others.
"Thompson, the planting base is almost completed. What are your plans next?" Brian Anderson asked.
Standing on the hilltop, I gazed at the bustling construction site below, lost in thought.
I had indeed considered my next step.
The planting base was just the first step, used to supply the scarce herbs in the market; the next step was mass production.
