Xie Songbai went around the village and asked all the people they had chosen one by one. They were all very willing to go to the canteen in the city to work. Moreover, when they heard that they could bring their children to work in the academy, the young couples were very grateful.

Xie Dazhong was also a little surprised, with a hint of surprise on his face which had been expressionless for years. When he went to register earlier, he also heard about the quarrel between his wife and Old Lady Shen. He felt that he had basically no hope, but he never thought that such a good job would fall on him now.

Hua Niang was also very happy. When she passed by a house before, she saw Xie Songbai notifying them to go to work. Not only could they bring their wives, but they could also bring their children to live together in the academy. She was very envious at the time.

Unexpectedly, when she returned home, she found that Xie Dazhong could also go directly into the academy to work. She immediately made a plan, but pretended to be reserved and asked: "Brother Xie, if our Dazhong goes to the academy to work, can I go with him?"

"This won't work." Xie Songbai shook his head.

Hua Niang pressed on unwillingly, "Why not? Didn't other people's wives and children follow them?"

"The wives of the others went along because they were also chosen to work together. Apart from those who were going to work, the academy didn't allow anyone else to enter."

"Then I can go to work too, Brother Xie. Please talk to Brother Four and ask them to take me with you."

"We already have enough manpower, so we won't add any more for now." Xie Songbai turned to Xie Dazhong and said, "Dazhong, gather at Songlin's house early tomorrow. We'll go there together by ox cart. You just need to pack some daily necessities. Everything else is available over there."

"Okay, thank you Brother Songlin." Xie Dazhong nodded.

Xie Songbai turned and walked away. Hua Niang wanted to chase him and ask more questions, but Xie Dazhong, for the first time, grabbed her hand. His words revealed a hint of helplessness and fatigue: "Stop it, they said they have enough manpower."

Hua Niang glanced at Xie Dazhong in disbelief, then turned around and slapped his hand away, angrily saying, "It's all because of you, useless thing! Other people's wives can go and bring their children with them, but you can't."

Her voice was sharp and piercing, venting her dissatisfaction fiercely. Xie Dazhong silently accepted the slap from her, as if he was used to it. He said nothing and went out to work in the yard with a stern face.

Xie Songlin returned home and went to the space to visit Xie Wanxing. Now she is the most mysterious person in the family. She is basically not seen except at meal time. She is busy printing invoices for Xie Songlin, recording the growth of wheat ears and rice, reading ancient and modern agricultural books, and drawing new plows.

Xie Songlin looked at his daughter's little face and saw two small dark circles under her eyes. Although it was a little funny, he still felt sorry for her.

"Take a break. I'll make some copies." Xie Songlin took the portable copier from her and saw her sitting aside to continue looking at the drawing. "Hey, I told you to take a break, not to continue working on this."

"I'm fine. I'll finish drawing this new plow soon. I still have some data to calculate. You can send it to Grandpa Zhao when the time comes." Xie Wanxing bit the end of his pen and sighed, "Actually, it's mainly because I don't understand carpentry. Some places that experienced carpenters can see at a glance, but I have to look at this structure and ponder it for a long time."

"You're already very good." Xie Songlin touched his daughter's head and comforted her, "This is not something you are good at. You can design such a complicated thing just by following the book. It's really great. Our Ah Xing is amazing."

"Thank you, Dad. You are awesome too." Xie Wanxing smiled at Xie Songlin and lowered her head to continue drawing her things.

Half an hour later, Xie Wanxing also finished drawing the blueprint. She stretched and said happily, "It's done."

Xie Songlin wanted to reach out and take the blueprint from her hand, but suddenly realized something was even more amiss: "We've been in this space for more than ten minutes, and we haven't been ejected yet?"

"Yeah, I discovered this a while ago, but I forgot to tell you. Now you can stay in space for an hour before being ejected."

"Oh, that's great! This can actually be expanded." Xie Songlin sat down next to Xie Wanxing and began to study her new drawing. "Is this a plow?"

"Well, I think this is quite important, a new plow." Xie Wanxing took out a diagram of existing plows and pointed at a few places on the diagram. "I went to see the plowing tools at my uncle's house before. They didn't plow deeply and it was very strenuous. Most people can't afford oxen these days. Dad, just look at our Xiejia Village and you'll see. The village chief is the only one who has an ox. He's kind and willing to lend it to the villagers to plow the land. But with just one ox, even if he works himself to death, it's impossible for him to plow all the villagers' land in time, so we basically rely on manpower."

"If the land isn't plowed deeply, the soil won't be fertile." Xie Songlin nodded. "That's right. This thing you have is indeed very important."

"Not only can these plows not plow very deep, but relying solely on manpower would be exhausting. It's not so bad for families with many sons, but it's terrible for those with fewer people. So many families can't finish cultivating their land." Xie Wanxing pointed to the new design he had designed. "Mine is light and labor-saving, and it plows much deeper than the original one. It's very convenient to operate."

"Okay, okay! If this can be done, it will definitely benefit the people. I haven't seen Mr. Zhao these past two days. When I see him, I will give him the blueprints immediately." Xie Songlin happily put away the blueprints and pinched his daughter's shoulders attentively. "Thank you for your hard work, my daughter. This is a great thing. It also saves lives, just like you treat illnesses and save lives."

"Oh yes, speaking of this." Xie Wanxing propped up his head and said, "Dad, please help me see if there is an old doctor in the nearby clinic who is willing to take in an apprentice."

"Why, you want to become a disciple?"

Xie Wanxing nodded. "I do need a master to teach me. I can't just become a doctor when I grow up. I need to learn a little first to lay the foundation. Besides, I only studied Western medicine before, and I'm not very proficient in Chinese medicine. If I want to practice medicine in ancient times, there's really a lot to learn."

"No problem, Dad will go ask for you tomorrow." Xie Songlin said with emotion, "My daughter still wants to be a doctor?"

"Of course." Xie Wanxing's hands unconsciously drew circles on the paper. "After all, this is the dream I've been pursuing for so many years."

"Okay, Dad will definitely open a big clinic for you in the future."
