The whole family traveled through time and became doctors, raised children and farmed in ancient tim

It has been a while since Xie Songlin moved to the new place, and he likes this Shuwei Village from the bottom of his heart. If any family has any problems, everyone will come forward to help without even having to ask.

Many people in this village used to be comrades-in-arms when they were soldiers in the barracks. They fought side by side on the battlefield and experienced life and death tests. Their friendship is extremely deep, so now that they have retired and returned to the village, the relationship between them is also particularly close.

Xie Songlin would often visit the village, bringing some fried beans made by Cheng Hui and chatting with the old soldiers about their experiences in the barracks during the war. They would sit together eating beans and chatting, and they could chat for a whole day. He felt more and more that this garrison village was a good place, and living here, he felt very comfortable and happy every day.

Xie Songlin also discovered that the living conditions of most people in this village were not very good. Although the court would give some subsidies to these people after they were disabled and retired from the army, the subsidies were indeed limited.

Nowadays, the imperial court is very tight on military pay, and the pensions for some fallen soldiers even have to be supplemented by Prince Ling's own private property, let alone any additional subsidies for these retired disabled soldiers.

Because life is difficult, many people have not been able to get married yet and can only rely on the meager income from the land to make a living. After working hard for a long time, the harvest may not be even half of what others get. Moreover, many people in the village have their fields planted by Lin Jian and his team. Even so, everyone's life is not particularly easy.

Xie Songlin has been thinking about whether he can open a workshop assembly line so that the disabled soldiers in the village can participate and improve their lives.

He went home to find Xie Wanxing. Now that the house had been renovated, Xie Wanxing returned to his secluded life.

After the two courtyards were merged, the space became much larger. Xie Songlin then re-planned the rooms. There were quite a few children in the family, and it was impossible to give each of them a room, so they were arranged to have two people living in one room. Each room was equipped with two beds and two sets of tables and chairs.

Xie Ning and Xie Lan live together, Xie Lin and Xie Heng live in one room, and Xie Wanxing naturally has his own room. Xie Yao is still young, so he lives with Xie Songlin and his wife, and they have a small bed in his room.

The remaining rooms were arranged to Aunt Li, Qiuyue and her daughter, respectively. Brothers Xie Kang and Xie Tai and Dazhong lived in one room. The cowshed and the chicken and duck shed were also built, and they were just waiting to buy some chickens and ducks to raise. By then, the family would have fresh eggs and duck eggs, and they could kill a chicken or a duck from time to time to improve the food. It was a good idea to think about it.

Xie Songlin knocked on Xie Wanxing's door, and Xie Wanxing opened it quickly. She did not enter the space today, but just read quietly in the room. Next to the desk was a large bookshelf, which was specially bought for her by Xie Songlin. All the books she usually read were placed on it.

She did not put the books that Chen Zhifei gave her on the shelf, but hid them in the space. She felt that these books must be very important and should not be seen by outsiders. Although her home was safe, it was definitely not as safe as the space.

Xie Wanxing was drawing something on the table when he asked, "Dad, are you looking for me?"

"Yes, I'm looking for you." Xie Songlin picked up a chair and sat down at the table. "I've been thinking about some things these days. We can start preparing for the shop. You see, the cake business is booming now. It's only a matter of time before we become famous in the town. After a while, when the promotion of the cake is almost done, we can use this popularity to attract customers to the shop, and then we can sell some slightly more expensive desserts and teas in the shop."

Xie Wanxing was still lying on the table, writing and drawing on the paper with her pen. Without even looking up, she asked casually, "Well, then, shall we go to town tomorrow to look at some shops?"

"That's what I thought, but I have something else to ask." Xie Songlin said as he noticed Xie Wanxing drawing something intently on paper. Curious, he leaned over to take a look and asked, "What are you drawing? A raincoat?"

"Yes, raincoat." Xie Wanxing quickly added a few strokes with the pen in his hand. After completing some details, he showed the drawing to Xie Songlin with satisfaction.

"I've been thinking about what I can make out of bakelite these past few days. I think this waterproof raincoat is pretty good. In this era, straw raincoats seem to be the main clothing. Although they can keep out the rain, they are still a bit bulky and not very waterproof. It's not very convenient to wear them and move around."

Xie Songlin said, "With current technology, your raincoat is definitely going to be expensive to make. Ordinary people simply can't afford it. As for those wealthy families who can afford it, do you think they need to wear it when they go out? They either ride in sedan chairs or carriages. Even if they have to walk occasionally, they have servants holding umbrellas to follow them. They don't need to wear a waterproof raincoat at all. You should think of something that is easier to make and can be popularized by the public."

"That's true. I was thinking about something else." Xie Wanxing nodded and put down the blueprint. "You just said there was something else. What is it?"

"I was thinking about opening an assembly line workshop in the village."

Xie Wanxing looked puzzled. "Assembly line workshop? Dad, what are you selling? Aren't you still busy running the shop? Why are you suddenly opening a workshop?"

"Those selling cakes are all relatively healthy people in the village. They can walk and run, so it's easier for them to go to town and sell their cakes. But most of the residents of Shuwei Village are disabled. Some of them have great difficulty moving around, and some with more serious conditions can only lie at home and can't do anything."

Xie Songlin sighed and continued, "I've been to the village quite a bit lately to interact with them. These are the soldiers who once defended their country. Their lives shouldn't be so difficult now. I want to help them, too."

Xie Wanxing felt a pang of sadness as he listened to his father's words. "So you want to open an assembly line workshop, preferably one that allows people with their physical conditions to participate?"

"Well, I haven't figured out what to sell yet."

Xie Wanxing also thought for a while: "How about asking them to make bamboo bottles or something? Or weave some bamboo baskets to sell?"

Xie Songlin shook his head. "Even if we need to use bamboo bottles when we open a shop in the future, we won't be able to use all of them. This job is only temporary. Forget about bamboo baskets. They're so simple, but there are many people in town selling them. We need to think of something modern, preferably something modern. I think it's easiest to start with food."
