Early in the morning, the people Poe Vaughn instructed came over. Ava also got up very early. She went to the back mountain first and then came back to pack with Grace Howell. Grace Howell and her husband got up even earlier than Ava. At the break of dawn, they went to the field, harvested the vegetables, washed them, and put them in boxes. Everything was arranged in rows with the eggs in the corner. The live chickens, ducks, and geese had been prepared last night too. Each was placed in a bag with a hole so their necks could stick out for air. Early this morning, they were also put into boxes and brought out together. By the time Poe Vaughn’s people arrived, the courtyard was already filled with things. Everything was ready. The items were quickly moved box by box onto the vehicle. Ava said goodbye to Grace Howell and Christopher Sterling: "Uncle and Aunt, take care of yourselves at home. I will come back to visit when I have time to rest." "It’s alright, do your work. It’s good for young people like you to focus on your career. Don’t worry about us." "Yes, work at ease outside. We are here at home, and we also take care of your grandmother, so don’t worry." Knowing what was on her mind, Grace Howell held Ava’s hand and said. Ava smiled: "Okay! With Uncle and Aunt at home, I have no worries!" "Haha, off you go then." Without saying more, Ava waved to them and got into the car. The car started up swiftly and drove off. Grace Howell’s eyes were a bit wet, but she held back her tears. Only when the car disappeared into the forest, becoming unseen, did her tears fall.

This child will do well, and even better in the future." "She will. They say hardship first, then sweetness. We believe in her." "The days ahead will all be good days." The two of them headed back home, only to find a bulging envelope on the dining table in the house. One look at the envelope, and they knew what was inside. Grace Howell hurriedly opened it to check. Every time Ava came back to see them, she would give them money. Knowing they wouldn’t accept it, she would just leave it at their home, so they would find it only after she left. Looking at the envelope full of money, Grace Howell frowned: "Why does this child do this every time, does she think her money comes flying on the wind?" Christopher Sterling thought for a moment and said: "Save it, the child isn’t married yet." "We’ll give it to her as a part of her dowry when she gets married." Grace Howell immediately said: "That’s good!" "I’ll save it for her, and later when she gets married, I’ll add a hefty portion to her dowry." The car drove along the winding mountain road, and outside the window were green mountains and trees, dense bamboos, and rural homes. Everything was both familiar and unfamiliar; Ava rolled down the car window. She looked at everything outside the window. The cool morning breeze brushed against her face, carrying a rich scent of grass and trees, very pure and fresh. She breathed in the aroma, feeling everything here, closed her eyes, and a smile gradually spread across her lips. Her hometown, her eternal sanctuary of peace in her heart. The car drove directly from the countryside to the town and then to the city, taking a full three hours. Ava didn’t want to delay, so she had the things sent straight to the airport, loaded onto the plane, and she boarded the aircraft directly. Just like that, the plane took off on time at 12:45. Seated in a spacious leather chair, Ava looked out at the floating blue skies and white clouds, enjoying the sumptuous, nutritious meal provided by the flight crew, sipping on fine wine, truly indulging. Indeed, a private jet is different. Having money! Being luxurious! Despite running around these few days, Ava didn’t feel tired at all, instead, she felt incredibly invigorated. All of this was due to this private jet. The entire crew served only her, providing first-class items, alongside impeccable service. With every sentence addressing her as "Madam" and meeting her requests, Ava felt like an empress dowager being pampered. When she got off the plane and returned to the Green Mountain Villa, her face was filled with smiles, and her eyes squinted into mere slits from delight. You couldn’t be more satisfied. Upon landing, a dedicated person came to receive Ava, and those items were sent to the Green Mountain Villa. At this moment, several employees were moving the items from the car into the villa living room. Box after box was neatly arranged in the living room. Aunt Wei looked at these items, big and fresh eggs in boxes, boxes of vegetables beaded with water droplets, and chickens clucking their necks out of the boxes, ducks stretching their necks looking at the unfamiliar environment, and geese raising their heads flapping their wings within the bags, seemingly trying to break free... Even though Aunt Wei had been in The Vaughn Family for years and was well-experienced and knowledgeable, still, seeing these items left her stunned. Ava looked at these lively creatures, still spirited despite the journey, and then at the green vegetables and the cute eggs, feeling very satisfied. "Madam, all the things have been brought in." The person in charge came in front of Ava, hands folded in front, body slightly bowing, and said. Ava beamed with smiles, you couldn’t describe how good her mood was. "Great! Thank you for your hard work, you may go back now." The person in charge led the employees out, while Ava squatted down, to pet the chickens, pat the ducks, and grab the geese, then leaned toward the vegetables beaded with mountain spring water with a deep breath: "Wow!" She sighed with satisfaction, feeling utterly content. Yet, Aunt Wei, hearing her words, reacted: "These are Madam’s hometown things?" She was surprised, completely unexpected. Breathing in these gifts from nature, Ava was exceedingly content, patted her hands, and stood: "Yes!" "These are gifts for Grandma!" "Aunt Wei, what do you think?" Ava pointed at these items, filled with pride. She believed, her grandmother would absolutely love these! Aunt Wei stood there, looking at these fresh as could be items, smelling the air in the living room now suddenly filled with a ’rich life atmosphere’, her mouth opened and closed, yet she couldn’t utter a word. Her Madam was indeed... full of surprises...
