"Your wedding is indeed too tight at noon. I am worried that I will not be able to entertain you all properly. It would be better to wait until the evening. At that time, I will definitely cook a table of sumptuous dishes and let your taste buds enjoy an unforgettable feast."

When Meng Changfeng heard this, a gleam of anticipation instantly flashed in his eyes.

He thought that since he was going to visit someone, it would be no problem to go a little later, and this way he could enjoy the visit more leisurely.

"Okay, then we will come to visit you on time in the evening and look forward to your delicious food."

Ran He carries a heavy basket on her shoulders, which is filled with various seeds. They will bloom under her careful cultivation.

She turned around lightly and continued on her shopping journey, every step filled with hope and planning for the future.

Meng Changfeng returned to the back hall of the clinic, found Mo Changfeng who was buried in ancient books, and shared the news with him.

"Haoze, you've been staying indoors for several days. Why don't we go to Ran He's house at noon today and take a short break to relax?"

At this time, Mo Changfeng was immersed in the world of book pages. Hearing this, he just raised his eyes slightly, a subtle emotion flashed in his eyes, and then he returned to his original indifference and continued to lower his head.

Seeing this, Meng Changfeng couldn't help but add: "Don't you want to know more about Ran He? I heard that the last hard-to-find medicinal ingredient will soon be available, perhaps in the next two days. Before you recover and return to the capital, why don't you take this opportunity to spend more time with him and get to know him better?"

These words seemed to touch Mo Changfeng's heartstrings.

Ran He had persuaded him many times to walk around more, not to mention that this was a trip to Ran He's home.

Although he knew little about the specific situation in Fushan Village, Ran He's sincere invitation was still clear in his memory, so visiting it naturally became a logical choice.

"Are you going to go empty-handed?"

Mo Changfeng asked calmly, his tone revealing a little dissatisfaction with Meng Changfeng's behavior, thinking that it seemed impolite.

Meng Changfeng smiled confidently, "Don't worry, I remember Ran He said she has two lovely children. I have asked someone to pick out two sets of exquisite gold necklaces as a gift. They are both decent and appropriate. As the heir of the Xi family, I will not care about this little money."

Hearing this, Mo Changfeng nodded with satisfaction.

However, Meng Changfeng suddenly joked: "You are only concerned about talking about me, what have you prepared for yourself? Don't just talk, Ran Heke helped you a lot, you should at least show some appreciation."

"I have my own arrangements."

Mo Changfeng glanced at him with a hint of impatience.

He had already made plans in mind, and the gift he prepared was different from that of Meng Changfeng, focusing more on expressing gratitude to Ran He personally.

The two then left the clinic and headed along the winding path towards the distant and mysterious Fushan Village.

On the other hand, Ran He visited almost all the Xijia clinics and drug stores in the town. She not only collected the necessary seeds for her medicinal fields, but also properly stored these precious resources in her special space.

Under Meng Meng's careful care, each herb is harvested in time once it matures, and is stored or dried into easy-to-preserve dry herbs. Every link reflects its immeasurable value.

Although Meng Changfeng and others planned to visit today, her home already had sufficient food supplies and there was no need for her to work extra hard.

Before leaving, she only needed to do some symbolic packing to avoid being exhausted by carrying heavy items.

Amid the hustle and bustle of the market, Ran He noticed vendors selling freshly picked beans, and an idea flashed through his mind.

Considering that her home was short of such ingredients, she decided to buy some so that she could taste the richness and sweetness of homemade tofu pudding anytime in the future.

"Beautiful girl, look here! The beans here are very fresh. They are just picked and are guaranteed to be plump. Would you like to take a look?"

When the hawker saw the potential customers, he immediately put on a smile. His business instinct told him that it was never too much to actively promote something.

Looking at the large bag of beans in front of her, estimated to weigh no less than 100 kilograms, Ran He gently opened a corner of the bag and lightly brushed her fingertips over the round and plump beans. After confirming that there were no old beans mixed in, a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

"How much do these beans cost?"

She asked casually, but her eyes were full of anticipation for the delicious meal that was about to come.

The vendor rubbed his slightly rough hands, trying to find a bit of warmth in the cold wind, and quickly put on a full smile and offered a price attentively: "Give me a discount, young lady, two cents per pound. Usually, I sell these high-quality beans for three cents."

He was thinking about it in his mind. He had previously witnessed how meticulous and skilled Ran He was when inspecting goods, and guessed that she might be an expert in the industry. He instinctively lowered the price when quoting the price.

This small profit margin was an unexpected surprise for him, and he hoped it would help him make the deal.

"Okay, I want all of these, you weigh them carefully."

Ran He clapped his hands neatly, a look of decisiveness revealed between his brows, and signaled the vendor to start weighing.

When the peddler heard this, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and he nodded quickly, fearing that he would neglect this seemingly generous customer.

He quickly called over an acquaintance who was chatting nearby, and hastily ordered them to bring a large scale and carefully hang up the bags of beans one by one, for fear of missing this rare opportunity. Beads of sweat oozed from his forehead due to nervousness.

The total weight was 180 kilograms. Ran He counted out 360 copper coins from the cloth bag around his waist. The heavy coins fell into the hands of the peddler, making a pleasant sound.

Then, she gently lifted the heavy bean bag onto her shoulders, and her strong body didn't seem to feel any burden at all.

Only when she reached a secluded corner and made sure that there was no one around did she recite a spell. The beans seemed to be pulled by an invisible hand, disappearing silently into the air and collected into her unique secret space.

Just as Ran He was about to leave quietly, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a burly man in a garment with his upper body naked, who was struggling to carry goods not far away.

If the man's chiseled face had not been too similar to her brother Ran Ping in her memory, she might not have shown such a surprised expression.

"Ran Ping?"

She called softly, with a hint of uncertainty and surprise in her voice.

Hearing the call, the man was stunned for a moment, then turned around in confusion.

When his eyes met Ran He's, a hint of unnaturalness instantly emerged on his originally resolute face, as if he were a child who was caught stealing candy and felt embarrassed and panic.

"Why are you here?"

Ran He's voice trembled slightly, and a wave of emotions surged in his heart.

You know, it's more than thirty miles from her village, Fulin, to here. Without a carriage, it's not easy to walk back and forth.
