Traveling through time and space to achieve a well-off life with your family
Chapter 98 Daily life after returning home: Harvesting rice
Cheng Mo thought it would take him a long time to adapt to the new environment, but surprisingly, he was able to fit in so quickly. However, this ten-year military career did change him after all.
Early in the morning, before dawn, Cheng Mo and Ban Mu woke up on time. After they packed up simply, they went out together and started their morning run along the city wall.
The city was still asleep at this moment. Of the two orc soldiers who were on duty last night, one was lazily curled up on the battlement of the city wall, holding a horn and dozing off, while the other was concentrating on standing guard.
When he saw Cheng Mo and Ban Mu coming together, he just waved his arm gently to say hello without disturbing his sleeping companions. Cheng Mo and Ban Mu also smiled and waved in response.
As time went by, the sun gradually rose. When the first golden rays of sunlight shone on every corner of the city, more and more families began to get busy. Smoke rose from the chimneys of each household, and the sound of knives and forks clashing could be heard from the house, as people were preparing breakfast. At this time, Cheng Mo and Ban Mu had already run three full laps around the city wall, and they walked slowly towards home.
After returning home, Cheng Lingqu was still immersed in a sweet dream, with no signs of waking up, while Gua Yan curled up in his warm little nest and raised his head sharply. When he found that the person who came in was Cheng Mo, the vigilance in his eyes instantly disappeared, and he continued to sleep soundly.
The early morning sun shone into the house through the window. Banmu rolled up his sleeves and walked into the kitchen, preparing to cook a hearty breakfast for his family.
On the other side, Cheng Mo came to Cheng Lingqu's door, knocked gently, and called out, "Baby! It's time to get up!" After a short wait, Cheng Lingqu's unclear response came from the room.
After waking up Cheng Lingqu, Cheng Mo turned around and went to the kitchen. At this time, Ban Mu was concentrating on cutting vegetables with skillful and neat techniques. Cheng Mo quietly walked behind Ban Mu and leaned against the door to silently admire his cooking posture.
Every bit of life is full of warmth and harmony, and these ordinary details constitute their happy family picture. Even the trivial matters such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are full of happiness.
"Dad..." Just as Cheng Mo was immersed in this beautiful atmosphere, a childish voice interrupted his thoughts.
Cheng Lingqu rubbed his eyes sleepily and walked slowly to the kitchen door. Cheng Mo chuckled and said, "Baby, are you up? Go wash your hands and get ready for breakfast." Cheng Lingqu nodded obediently, then turned and walked towards the sink outside the house. When passing by the dining table, he grabbed the dozing Gua Yan and lifted him to the sink.
Gu Yan seemed to be used to this kind of treatment and had no intention of resisting. He narrowed his eyes and let Cheng Lingqu move him however he wanted. Cheng Lingqu first picked up a piece of wet animal skin and carefully wiped Gu Yan's little paws and mouth, and then began to wash himself seriously.
He first rubbed salt gently in his mouth to remove the odor, then rinsed his mouth, wet a piece of animal skin and wiped his face. After finishing, he took Gua Yan back to the dining table. At this time, Cheng Mo and Ban Mu were already eating.
Cheng Lingqu first placed Gua Yan in his special seat, and then he obediently picked up his bowl to eat. Gua Yan shook his head vigorously to wake himself up, then stood beside a ceramic plate and pecked at his breakfast.

Life continued like this every day, peaceful and beautiful. One day, after Cheng Mo and Ban Mu finished their meal, they walked to the back mountain together. From a distance, the rice fields were still the same as when they left, without any changes.
The orcs in charge of guarding the fields were scattered among the fields. Some were concentrating on checking the operation of the waterwheels; others were carefully examining the formation of rice ears. When they saw Cheng Mo and the other two approaching, they all showed joy on their faces and shouted in unison: "Lord City Lord!"
Cheng Mo smiled as he responded to everyone's questions. Then he stepped forward and leaned over to carefully examine the rice that was about to mature. Every grain of rice was bulging and full, and it was obviously time to harvest.
Cheng Mo straightened up, looked around, and said loudly: "Everyone, go and call the high priest Xiongbai here, and ask him to bring some people to prepare for the rice harvest. Oh, by the way, don't forget to ask someone to go to the iron smelter to get a few sharp sickles!" The orcs couldn't help but nod in agreement when they heard it, and then they happily split up and went about their business.
Soon, Xiongbai came over with dozens of orcs. He looked at the golden rice fields with surprise and asked, "Can we harvest now? So much?!"
Cheng Mo nodded and said, "Yes, High Priest, let everyone take a sickle and learn from me how to harvest rice!"
Xiongbai originally planned to come down with a sickle himself, but the other orcs thought he was too old and there were not many sickles, so they asked him to stand under the tree and watch. Xiongbai had no choice but to sit under the tree and watch everyone study and work.
In a golden rice field, the orcs are busy harvesting the ripe rice ears. They bend over, holding sickles, and cut bunches of rice with slightly clumsy movements.
The fields were filled with the fragrance of rice. The breeze blew, and the rice ears swayed gently, making a slight rustling sound. The orcs worked attentively, their sweat slid down their cheeks and dripped into the fields, but their faces were filled with satisfied smiles.
Some orcs were responsible for tying up the harvested rice neatly, while others moved the bundled rice to an open space nearby. Everyone cooperated with each other and worked together, and the whole scene was filled with joy and happiness.
Cheng Mo and Ban Mu bent over together, working hard in the golden rice fields. After all, Ban Mu had experienced farm work in the military camp, so his movements were more skillful than those of other orcs.
Cheng Mo was the most skilled among all, but seeing that the rice field that Ban Mu was in charge of was about to be harvested, he couldn't help but feel a sense of unwillingness to admit defeat, so he silently speeded up his hands.
However, due to his impatience, Cheng Mo's movements became more and more bold, and the blade flashed a sharp cold light under the sunlight. Ban Mu on the opposite side noticed this scene and shouted worriedly: "Xiao Mo! Slow down!" Cheng Mo wanted to nod when he heard the voice, but when he looked up and saw the neatly arranged piles of rice behind Ban Mu, his inner competitive spirit was aroused again, and he wished he could have three heads and six arms immediately and finish the work in one go.
Banmu was confused by Cheng Mo's increasingly rapid movements. After a helpless sigh, he had to speed up, hoping to complete his task as soon as possible, and then help Cheng Mo do more. The other orcs around felt Cheng Mo's enthusiasm, and were encouraged, and they all sped up their movements. For a while, only the busy orcs were left in the rice field. They were all focused on the work in front of them, without a single slack.
