The whole family traveled through ancient times with their house

Goudan and Donkey carried their buckets across the river without Jiang Yan even asking for help. Watching them nimbly and effortlessly cross the crude stone bridge as if it were flat ground, Jiang Yan felt ashamed of herself.

At the Zhang family's gate, Zhang Xiaoqi had already driven the donkey cart out. Seeing them approaching, he helped Goudan lift the bucket onto the cart and asked Goudan to hold the bucket to prevent the water from spilling.

Zhang Xiaoqi also instructed Goudan, "After you get to the city, take your Aunt Jiang to your uncle's restaurant first and ask them if they want fish. If your uncle and his family don't want it, take your Aunt Jiang to another restaurant and ask."

"Dad, I understand. Don't worry."

"This fish is good. You have to help your Aunt Jiang keep an eye on the price and don't let her suffer any loss." Seeing that her husband had finished his instructions, Guan also said, "Such a good thing cannot be fooled by those old-timers in the city."

"Don't worry, Mom. Aunt Jiang can sell a big fish for at least thirty coins each."

"Good boy, that price is pretty reliable."

Hearing his mother's praise, Goudan recounted his experience in a coherent manner. "My father and I have been to many restaurants in the city, and the fish they charge are all around the same price. Besides, those fish aren't even as good as the ones my Aunt Jiang catches. Today, I have to talk to them and try to sell them a few more coins for Aunt Jiang."

Guan was overjoyed to see her eldest son could speak since he was young. "Look at my eldest son's little mouth, he always says something that makes sense. I don't know who he takes after."

"My father said, follow my great grandfather."

Goudan finished his words with a smile, and then asked Jiang Yan and her daughter to get on the donkey cart. He didn't notice Niudan running out of the yard, still mumbling aggrievedly: "Dad, Mom, I want to go with my brothers too. I can help too."

Zhang Xiaoqi wanted to tell his son not to go, but he couldn't bear to see the disappointed look in his youngest son's eyes, so he nodded and agreed. He didn't forget to remind his three sons, "You three are not allowed to play around. Be careful on the road, and take your Aunt Jiang back early."

"Yeah." Niu Dan answered the loudest when he saw his father agreed, and his movements when getting on the donkey cart were also very smooth.

"Dad, don't worry, we'll be back soon." Goudan patted his still tender chest manly, just to reassure his parents. Turning back, he called out to his two younger brothers and Jiang Yan and her mother sitting on the donkey cart, "Everyone sit tight, let's go!"

"Okay." Donkey Egg held the wooden barrel, not wanting the water in the barrel to spill out.

It wasn't Goudan's first time driving a donkey cart, so he whipped it with ease.

The donkey cart started moving immediately, clattering eastward along the dirt road towards the rising sun.

Niu Dan sat behind his eldest brother and waved to his parents before he started chattering. "Brother, when we get into the city, let's go to some more places, okay?"

"Going into the city at this time of year, there's nothing to see because everything is bare. I might as well buy a meat bun." When talking about the delicious big meat buns, Donkey Egg's mouth was watering.

"I want to take a good look around the city. It would be even better if I could walk around the whole city. I want to see what kind of strange things there are in the city." Niu Dan refused to tell his brothers. His cousin from his uncle's family always looked at them with disdain, as if they were shameful. Although his cousin always hid it well, he saw it all.

He refused to accept it and didn't understand why his cousin was so arrogant. If his father hadn't become a small flag, his uncle's family would still be farming in the remote mountains.

He got angry just thinking about it, but he was not good at talking to his cousin, and he was afraid that his parents would be angry, so he had to endure it.

Goudan was unaware of Niudan's inner struggle, and he told him to sit with his back to the wind to avoid getting a stomach full of wind.

...

This was the first time for Jiang Yan and her daughter to ride in a donkey cart, and they were shaking constantly with the bumps of the cart.

The wind in early spring was still very cold. Jiang Yan held Yi Chen in her arms against the wind, just to protect her daughter from being shaken less.

Yichen didn't struggle, and leaned into her mother's arms. "Ouch." As the donkey cart jolted, Yichen felt her little butt being lifted half a foot high.

"Oh!" This donkey cart is really hard to describe. I wonder if her little butt will be swollen from the bumping when we reach the destination.

In order to make the donkey cart ride less unbearable, Yichen began to divert her attention. Her eyes swept across the bare wilderness and then looked at the rolling mountains in the distance.

The early spring wind whistled with a unique chill, and soon she had had enough of it.

When she looked away, she accidentally caught a glimpse of a hint of spring emerging from the dry grass in the sunny spot.

"Mom, look."

Niu Dan looked over and immediately perked up, "Those are wild vegetables popping up. We'll go dig some garlic when we get back. Hehehe, Aunt Jiang gave us two big fish, and these garlic will come in handy."

Niu Dan thought of the big fish his mother kept in a bucket, looking so fat and curious. Oh, he couldn't think about it anymore, it would be embarrassing for such a greedy person to be hooked.

"After we help Aunt Jiang sell the fish and go back, let mom cook fish for us." After Goudan said this, his two younger brothers nodded in understanding.

Yichen looked at the three eggs reflected in the morning light with a smile so pure that she couldn't help but reveal a small dimple on her lips.

Three eggs: "Sister Chenchen is so pretty."

Yichen: Her body is as thin as a kitten, and she felt a little embarrassed when three guys praised her for being pretty.

But she couldn't be silent, so she just laughed.

Jiang Yan hadn't expected that they would have the chance to leave the valley right after they came through. After all, after being brought here by Shen Sanlang, their original body had never left.

"Brother, wait a minute." Niu Dan said and jumped off the donkey cart without waiting for his elder brother to pull the reins.

"Third brother, what are you doing?"

Niu Dan didn't respond, but just went into the dry grass beside the road with a mysterious look on his face. When he carefully ran out of the grass again, there were seven or eight pheasant eggs in his clothes.

"Pheasant eggs? How did you find them, Third Brother?"

Hearing the surprise and envy in his brother's tone, Niu Dan proudly spoke of his new discovery. "I just saw a pheasant flying in this direction, so I thought I'd go over and see if there were any pheasant eggs. Hey, there really were some."

It was the first time Niu Dan had picked up so many pheasant eggs, and he was in a very good mood. Seeing the envy in his brothers' voices, he excitedly told them about his plan. "Let's go back and roast them, and the three of us and sister Chenchen will share them."

Yichen didn't refuse either. She was still a little girl, so she had to be childish. When she saw something delicious, she would just nod and take it.

Goudan and Donkey Egg had no objection and even joined in the discussion loudly about where to roast pheasant eggs when they returned.
