Crossing the famine, I am a poor fish, and my descendants have to work hard

After enjoying a night in the beauty salon, I had breakfast the next day and returned to Chengyuan with Sun Zhang.

After escaping famine and moving to the capital, I haven't had a good time to explore the city. I've been busy all the time.

Now that I'm with Zhang Sandao and Sun Zhang, I can take a good look at it.

Zhao Yuanzhen brought Qian Xiaohui and Li Zhijuan, as well as her parents-in-law.

I started to travel around the capital, and the first day was spent shopping.

I plan to visit all the commercial streets in Beijing.

The carriage followed behind them, and several women walked and stopped, going in and out of the shops.

After a day's stroll, Zhang Sandao's legs were shaking with exhaustion. This was much more tiring than doing farm work.

Zhao Yuanzhen and her friends harvested half a truckload of items.

There are clothes, jewelry, daily necessities, cosmetics and so on.

Everyone was in a good mood, even Mrs. Sun Zhang was very happy. As an old woman, she had seen the world and owned big shops.

I packed up the things I bought for Sun Zhangshi and Zhang Sandao and sent them to their yards. I will take them together when I return to the village.

The next day, we started visiting various attractions in Beijing.

We visited temples, Xiangshan Mountain, Yunjing, towers, Jinshuimen, etc., all the scenic spots in the capital and its suburbs.

Five days have passed since the transfer.

On the sixth day, Zhao Yuanzhen planned to take them out of the capital and play in the suburbs.

Have a picnic or something.

Sun Zhangshi and Zhang Sandao said they would not go no matter what.

I've been out for several days and I miss home. I can't eat, drink and have fun every day anymore.

"Mom, Dad, let's go to the suburbs to play for a few more days. I know a very beautiful place."

"No, no, I'm going to take a day off and go home tomorrow. No, I miss home."

"Yes, I have to go back. I can't play every day."

The two of them said they would not go no matter what.

There was no choice, Zhao Yuanzhen had to cancel her plan and stay with them in the mansion for a day.

The next morning, Sun Zhangshi and Zhang Sandao packed up and prepared to go back.

Helplessly, after breakfast, Zhao Yuanzhen sent the two back.

The car was half full of various items.

On the way back, the two old people were obviously in a good mood. The second child was a good and filial child.

She took them out to eat, play and buy a lot of things these days. If she tells others about this, her old sisters will be envious of them for the rest of their lives.

When we arrived at the village, we first sent them to the old house.

"Dad, Mom, you're back."

Zhang Qingshan hurried out to greet them. This was the first time his parents had been away from them for so long, and he was not used to it.

"Well, quickly call someone to come and move the things."

"Okay. Mom is back! Come out quickly! Mom is back!"

He shouted twice towards the yard but was moving things.

Zhao Yuanzhen also helped with the move, and it took several trips.

After moving, I rested in the main room.

"Sister-in-law, mother said before that she wanted to send Zimei to learn knitting and needlework. There happens to be a needlework workshop in my farm. If you want to learn, you can send her there. There is a house and a canteen in the farm. If you are worried, you can pick her up every day. You can discuss with Shuang'er and Zixue to see if they want to learn. Let me know if you have made a decision."

"Okay, let's discuss it."

"Well, then I'll go back."

Zhao Yuanzhen hasn't been back to the village for several days, so he still has to go back and take a look.

"Okay, sister-in-law, come over and visit if you have time."

"Ah."

Zhao Yuanzhen drove the carriage back.

"Dad, Mom, look at what Zimei has to say about this."

Wu Erping still has to look to the two bosses for their opinions.

"Wait for Shuang'er to come back at noon and ask her. After all, she is her daughter."

Shuang'er went to pick wild vegetables and will probably be back soon.

"Okay, mother."

Less than an hour later, Shuang'er came back.

Wu Erping called her into the main room.

"Zihu's mother, come here."

"Here they come, Mom. Grandpa and grandma are back!"

"Well, not long after I came back, your grandfather and I discussed with your second aunt and thought of sending Zimei to her farm to learn knitting and needlework. There are places to eat and places to live there, and there are also a group of girls teaching her needlework. What do you think?"

Zihu had already been sent to the academy in the capital, where he lived and only came back during his day off.

She was very touched that her mother-in-law and father-in-law were willing to spend money on Zihu's education.

Unexpectedly, now even Zimei is being helped to think of a good way out.

"Grandpa, grandma, mom, I agree. I agree to send Zimei over. This child likes these things to begin with. Now that someone is willing to teach her, how can I not let her learn?"

Life is not easy for girls. If a girl has a skill, it will not only be easier for her to find a husband in the future, but she can also earn some money to support herself with her skills.

"Well, OK, as long as you agree. Your second aunt said that Zimei should learn first, and when she is older, she will be sent to Qingyan to learn well. Qingyan's craftsmanship is still good."

Zheng Shuang'er knew about her aunt's craftsmanship. When her aunt was at home, the clothes she made for her grandparents were all very beautiful. And it was said that the clothes that her second aunt wore were all made by her aunt.

Second Aunt gives little aunt a lot of money every year, all thanks to little aunt's good cooking skills.

"That's a good thing, Grandma. I agree."

"Well, as long as you agree, then let's make it a deal. I'll tell the second brother's family and send Zimei over tomorrow."

"Okay, grandma."

Although most of the masters of the house were not at home, the house was very orderly and Zhao Yuanzhen was quite satisfied.

"Tell the milkman to deliver 2 kilograms of milk to the old house every day."

Zhang Sandao and Sun Zhang are back, and it's time to drink milk.

"Yes, ma'am."

The vegetable garden at home has been planted, and several batches of harvest have been made from the medicinal herb garden.

She took away half of the white fungus in stock and took it to Xiaoshan County.

I stayed at home with Zhuangzi for two days, arranged everything that needed to be arranged, and then returned to Beijing.

There was nothing much to do in the capital, so she was going back to Xiaoshan County.

Before leaving, I went to see Zhao Yuanlan and Yue Hongmian.

"Brother, I will be returning to Xiaoshan County tomorrow. I will leave the house to you. If Xin Bai and the others have any problems, please help take care of them. Also, please keep an eye on the ferry to the capital."

"You're leaving tomorrow? You won't stay for more than a few days!"

"Well, I won't stay any longer. There are still a lot of things to do in Xiaoshan County. I have to go back."

"Okay, don't worry, I'm here in the capital."

"Well, I don't know if I can come back when my sister-in-law gives birth. This is a ginseng and a ganoderma lucidum for my sister-in-law to nourish her body. When my sister-in-law gives birth, she can cut the ginseng into slices and put it in her mouth to replenish her energy."

Zhao Yuanzhen said as she handed over two boxes.

That ginseng is 300 years old, very rare.

"Thank you for your thoughtfulness, little sister."

Yue Hongmian's eyes were a little red. Her younger sister was leaving again, and she was a little reluctant to let her go.

"Sister-in-law, you should take more rest and don't worry too much."

"Yeah, I know, and you too, be careful on the road."

"Well, I'll leave then."

Zhao Yuanzhen said goodbye to the general's mansion and went to each shop to check on the restocking of stocks.

She also bought all the cement stock from the cement shop and asked the transport team to send it to the other side of the Yellow River ferry. These were what she wanted to take away to Xiaoshan County.

As for the road from the ferry to the capital, you can just go to the cement shop and buy it at any time.

After giving various instructions for the family, she rode away on Xiao Hei again.

When I was tired, I would go into the space to sleep. When I was not tired, I would ride a horse. Sometimes I would ride a bicycle at night.

It was already mid-May when we arrived in Xiaoshan County.

First, the cement was handed over to the transportation team and then delivered to the road construction team.

She then returned to Zhangjiazhuang.

She didn’t know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that there were a lot more people in Xiaoshan County, and the streets were much more lively.

"Ma'am, you're back!"

Zhao Yuanzhen returned to her own small courtyard and handed Xiao Hei to the servant. She asked for a basin of water and wanted to wash him thoroughly to relax him.

"Well, call Lan Ying over."

"Yes."

After a while, Lan Ying came over.

"Madam, you are back. You must have had a hard journey. I will give you a bath and then give you a massage."

"Yeah, good. It's really tiring."

Lan Ying is smart. Even without saying anything, she has good judgment.

After helping Zhao Yuanzhen take a bath, she lay on the Luohan bed.

Lan Ying began to massage her carefully to relax her.

After a while, Zhao Yuanzhen fell asleep. Lan Ying covered her up skillfully and then left.

Zhao Yuanzhen slept until the next morning.

I slept very comfortably and felt much more relaxed.

When Lan Ying heard that she had woken up, she hurried in.

"Madam, you are awake. Here is warm water. Please drink some."

Drinking a large glass of warm water after waking up is a habit he developed in his previous life. Lan Ying must have been observant and careful.

"Okay, leave it here."

She drank water while Lan Ying found clothes for her and helped her wash and dress.

"Ma'am, what would you like for breakfast?"

"I can eat the porridge myself, you go and do your work."

"Okay, ma'am."

Zhao Yuanzhen bought a bowl of porridge and decided to eat it in the morning.

Lan Ying went to pack up all the clothes she had taken off and prepared to ask the maids to wash them.

After dinner, I went to the affairs hall to check out the various things that have happened in Zhangjiazhuang over the past two months.

It took me a whole day to check all the accounts and take inventory.

All the things brought from the capital were placed in the warehouse.

The fields have been planted with millet, wheat and some coarse grains.

There are many potatoes, sweet potatoes and other storable vegetables planted in the orchard.

Zhao Yuanzhen discovered that people still like to eat potatoes and sweet potatoes, and these can be made into vermicelli and stewed in winter, which is very delicious.

Her pond was dug late last year. Although she planted lotus flowers, she didn't have time to transplant the lotus roots. This year she has to plant early.

I selected some cold-resistant lotus varieties and planted them in two large ponds. By autumn, they will be able to produce lotus roots.

As for the fish pond, because the fish fry were spread out late, we did not clean the pond for fishing last winter, so we were thinking of waiting until this year to fish together.

I checked the workshops again, conducted a surprise hygiene check, and checked attendance. I found that there were actually more than a dozen people who had clocked in but were not there.

Zhao Yuanzhen asked Lan Ying to call the property management team to keep an eye on the workshop and not allow anyone to enter or leave.
