In the end, Zhou He managed to persuade everyone. Walking really was easier and less tiring, and since Zhou He lived in the village, she'd have some company every morning on the way to the factory.
It wasn't just Ji Ying going—Xiong Xihua and the others went to the factory too, so they could go together, and if anything happened on the road, there'd be someone to look out for each other.
After talking about that, Xu Qinghe brought up the matter of buying land with everyone.
Everyone started giving their opinions, one after another, the atmosphere warm and full of happiness.

Shuangzhu Village.
A village close to the county town; usually, whatever goes on in any family, everyone knows all about it.
On this day, the weather was beautiful and sunny, and the whole village was stirred up by a piece of news.
The Xu Qinghe family was going to buy land.
And not just a plot for a house, but three whole acres.
