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

"What did he say?"

Xie Wanxing reached into her small bag and pulled out the letter, then handed it to Xie Songlin and said, "Take your time to read it. Do you have lunch?"

Xie Songlin took the letter and unfolded it, saying, "Yes, it's all warming up in the kitchen. You and Aning go eat first, and I'll take a look at this letter."

Xie Wanxing and Xie Ning walked towards the kitchen together. The Frappuccino was now served on the same plate that Xie Songlin had customized. They got their food and returned to the yard together.

It is still summer now, and it is not that cool to eat in the private room. There is a canopy above the table in the yard, and there are a lot of ice cubes on the table, which constantly emits a hint of cool air.

When we eat together at the table, the cool air just dispels the heat and makes us feel particularly comfortable.

Xie Songlin sat on a stone bench in the yard, holding Chen Zhifei's letter in his hand. He read the letter quickly at a glance, and then handed the letter to Cheng Hui who was sitting next to him. Naturally, Chen Zhifei's letter also included greetings to his aunt.

Xie Songlin frowned, his eyes full of worry and thought, while Xie Wanxing sat opposite him, eating his meal silently, occasionally reaching out to grab a piece of watermelon.

Xie Songlin asked, "Axing, what do you think?"

Xie Wanxing paused for a moment, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and said seriously: "I guess he is not convenient to talk about the war in detail, but I don't understand it even if he tells me, but I understand the lack of food and money."

Xie Songlin sighed softly, nodded, and said, "Yes, the situation is serious now. Dajing is facing many difficulties. The people are living in hardship, and the fighting on the front line is tense. Food and money have become big problems."

"This trip out to sea must be done as soon as possible." Xie Songlin said in a decisive tone.

Xie Wanxing naturally understood what her father meant. They went out to sea to take out all the potato and corn seeds in the space, as well as the wheat seeds whose yield had increased several times. Going out to sea to explore the way was secondary. The main thing was to find an excuse to take out all these seeds with justification.

This concerns the food and clothing of countless people in Dajing, as well as the supply of soldiers on the front line. If they don’t have enough food, how can they regain the lost territory?

They all understand the urgency and importance of this matter.

"Dad, I understand. The shop and the workshop are both stable now. It's okay for you to go out now."

Xie Songlin nodded and said, "You guys have to go to Beijing to study next year, so I better go there before you leave."

He continued, "I'm not particularly familiar with maritime trade, so I don't plan to charter a boat and bring more people with me as I had previously planned. Just three or five of us will be enough to go with the caravan. We can look after each other, and our main goal is to observe the situation outside."

Xie Ning was eating quietly at the side. When he heard Xie Songlin's words, he raised his head and said, "Shall I go with you?"

"Okay, we can all feel more at ease if you go with us." Xie Songlin agreed without hesitation. In fact, even if Xie Ning didn't bring it up, he already had a plan in mind and wanted to find a suitable time to discuss it with Xie Ning.

Xie Ning is an extraordinary martial artist, extremely powerful. Unless there are a hundred or so people surrounding them, they are basically no match for him. Having him accompany them will undoubtedly add a lot of safety guarantees on this unknown and unpredictable journey.

"And Dazhong, I have to take him with me. I'll also need to pick two strong young men from the village to go with me." Xie Songlin took stock of the group. "I'll have my eldest brother go to the village and ask around. During this time, let him get used to managing two workshops. Then I'll take Dazhong with me."

After Xie Wanxing finished speaking, he stood up and said, "Okay, I just came to tell you that I'm done eating and I have to go home to attend class. Oh, by the way, Mr. Zhao told my master that he will come over during this period. Isn't it perfect? We are going to hold a birthday party for the teacher, so let Mr. Zhao come along."

Xie Songlin nodded and said, "Okay, it would be great if Mr. Zhao could come. I'll send him a message. This birthday party must be well organized. Your teacher has put a lot of thought into you students."

"Take the watermelons." Xie Songlin hurriedly instructed them when he saw them leaving. "Aning, take this bigger one home and share it. I'll share the rest in the store."

Xie Ning nodded and put the larger watermelon weighing about 20 kilograms on the ground into a wooden barrel beside him. After picking up the barrel, he went straight to the ice room. There were several huge wooden barrels in the ice room. Some of them were filled with large ice cubes that melted slowly and were used to maintain the temperature of the ice room. There were also some large wooden barrels filled with small ice cubes, which were used for making drinks. The whole ice room was filled with a hint of coldness as soon as it was opened.

Xie Ning took a quick look, picked up a large wooden spoon beside him, and scooped a large bucket of ice from the huge pile of ice. After filling it up, Xie Ning picked up the bucket full of ice with one hand and walked out, as if the bucket weighed nothing.

Xie Wanxing followed him in amazement, watching Xie Ning put the wooden barrel full of ice cubes onto the carriage so easily. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart: What a great strength! It's good to practice martial arts after all.

But she is too busy. However, maybe she can get up in the morning and practice boxing with some brothers, just like doing radio gymnastics.

After they drove the carriage back home, the watermelon in the wooden barrel was almost frozen by the ice cubes.

At this time, her brothers had just finished lunch and there was still some time before class. Mr. Yu was leisurely enjoying the cool air in the yard, with a gentle breeze blowing by, and a pot of brewed tea was placed next to him.

Xie Lin saw Xie Ning carrying a wooden bucket and walking towards them with brisk steps. He hurried over to greet him with a warm smile on his face and said, "Brother Ning, let me help you."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hands to help carry the wooden barrel. Xie Ning did not let go completely. When part of the weight of the barrel fell into Xie Lin's hands, Xie Lin felt his arms suddenly sink and he almost lost his balance. His brows furrowed slightly, obviously a little shocked by the weight of the barrel.

"What are you pretending to be?" Xie Lin asked in surprise while struggling to steady his arm.

This big wooden barrel contained a large watermelon weighing nearly 20 kilograms and a sufficient amount of ice cubes, so it was naturally not light.

Xie Ning signaled Xie Lin with his eyes to let go, and then he placed the wooden barrel steadily in the yard. The other people in the yard were a little curious and came over to take a look.

Xie Jin asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Brother Ning, why did you bring back a bucket of ice?"

Xie Yuan also stepped forward to take a look: "What's under this ice? Green?"

Xie Wanxing said, "There's a big watermelon in here. Ask Aunt Li to cut it up for you to eat."

When Xie Heng heard there was something to eat, he immediately became happy: "Watermelon? What is a watermelon?"

At this time, Aunt Li heard the noise and came out from the kitchen. She smiled and said, "Miss, why are you calling me?"

Xie Wanxing said, "Aunt Li, Dad specially asked someone to bring back this watermelon. Can you help cut it up so everyone can have a taste?"
