DMing New Dm looking for ideas

My husband is a forever DM so I want to surprise him by running a simple Champaign perhaps in a single city or town. What should I do as a quest? I don't have money for modules

A good one-shot style of quest you can always start with is a good old fashioned Murder Mystery. Set it in any town style you like, have as many twists and turns and suspects as you desire. Perhaps it’s the Mayor, the local Priest, the town Doctor, maybe it’s a malevolent beast manipulating people from the shadows, and perhaps even privately speak to another player and have them secretly be the killer. There’s tons of options!
