The whole family traveled through ancient times with their house

Captain Dong ignored Zhang Xiaoqi's expression and called out to his men, "Come here, prepare my horse. I want to go to the Thirteenth Banner to see if what Old Zhang said is true."

"Really?" After hearing what Zhang Xiaoqi said, the soldiers present in the centurion's office all opened their eyes wide as if they were going to bite someone.

This news was really shocking. You know, that stubborn Xia had been giving them a hard time for many years and just refused to teach them how to grow rice.

I finally heard the good news today, but it feels so unreal.

Zhang Xiaoqi saw his brothers' silly expressions and said with a hint of smugness, "Captain, of course what I said is true. If you don't believe me, come with me and see for yourself."

"Of course I have to see it with my own eyes. Hahaha, come on, let's all go over there. If it's true, I'll give you credit for it."

"Thank you, Master Baihu."

Zhang Xiaoqi was so eager to lead the way for Captain Dong that he had lost his usual composure. From a distance, he looked like a lackey.

The Hundred Households Office was not far from the Thirteen Banners, and it would only take half an hour to get there by fast horse.

When Jiang Yan learned from Guan that Zhang Xiaoqi had gone to the Hundred Households Office, she found an excuse to pick wild vegetables and took her daughter to the lower reaches of the stream.

"Mom, why do we have to hide?"

"If the captain comes, he will definitely bring a group of soldiers with him. It is not appropriate for me to show up in such a situation."

Yichen knew that her mother didn't like socializing, especially when facing a group of strangers, so her mother would stay as far away from them as possible.

To borrow her mother's words, "Don't come to me with stressful things. When you have some free time, have a good meal or take a leisurely stroll in a quiet place. That's where you can find happiness."

The mother and daughter chatted about family matters along the way, and occasionally dug up a few wild vegetables that they liked. It felt pretty good.

Yichen suddenly had an idea, "Mom, should we sell these wild vegetables to the system?"

"Let's try it first."

"I'll go first," Yichen said, taking a handful of sonchus from her mother's hand and throwing it to the system. Then, a pleasant mechanical voice sounded: "Pure natural and pollution-free wild vegetables, worth ten star coins. Host, do you want to trade?"

Such a good thing, Yi Chen quickly clicked the transaction. "Mom, here are ten star coins, we are rich."

"Yeah." It turns out there's more than one money-grubber. When Jiang Yan heard that Sonchus could be sold for ten star coins, the heat in her eyes was just as intense as Yi Chen's. "We need to work hard today."

“Try harder!”

The mother and daughter showed off their skills, and the mechanical sound continued to sound.

It was not until the setting sun dyed the earth red that the two money-grubbers, big and small, straightened their aching backs and lamented that the day had passed too quickly.

Jiang Yan glanced at her dirty hands stained with wild vegetable juice, then looked up at the blood-red setting sun on the cliff and checked today's income.

As soon as she saw the numbers on the screen clearly, all her fatigue disappeared.

"Mom~" Yichen also saw the number. Four figures were sold today! Instantly, the look in her little eyes was exactly the same as her own mother's.

"Mom, the star coins we earned from selling things these days can be used to buy that crossbow." Yi Chen felt a surge of excitement in her heart when she thought of the crossbow made of unknown materials.

"Then let's buy it."

The mother and daughter covered their upturned lips, looked around with understanding, and when they saw that there was no one around, they used their minds to buy the crossbow that Yichen had long had her eyes on in the system mall.

"What a pity, there's nothing for kids."

With a little regret in her heart, Yichen took small steps of victory and followed her mother in the afterglow of the sunset.

"Are you tired? Do you want me to carry you?"

"Mom, I'm going home first. I'll come out when we're almost to the small stone bridge."

"Well, that's a good idea."

By the time they returned home, it was already completely dark.

Zhang Xiaoqi and his wife had been paying attention to the movements on the other side of the river. When they saw the fire in the shack where the mother and daughter lived, Guan couldn't wait to run over.

"Sister, sister~"

"Sister Guan."

"Sister, where did you and your mother go today? We looked for you for a long time but couldn't find you."

"We walked along the river, and the wild vegetables there were so crisp and tender that we walked a long way without realizing it."

"I was wondering, the three guys and I couldn't find you."

"Sister Guan, do you have something important to talk to us about?"

"It's very important. It's a good thing."

"Good thing?"

"Yes! Today the captain came to see the paddy fields we planted." Guan was also happy because the paddy fields had become ours.

"The captain was so happy. You didn't see it, sister. The way he looked at these two acres of paddy fields was like looking at his own son."

"Is it that exaggerated?"

"That's not an exaggeration at all. Sister, you didn't see the scene at that time. Our captain was squatting on the edge of the field, staring at the tender seedlings in the paddy field. His eyes were like he was looking at his beloved girl. My boss couldn't hear him even when he spoke to him."

Jiang Yan couldn't imagine what a sturdy man's obsessed eyes looked like. "Eh~" She decided to give up thinking about it; the image was too shocking.

"Sister, I have something good to tell you."

"What good thing?"

"The captain knew you and your mother were living in such a small shed, and he felt sorry for you. He gave the order today, and tomorrow he will personally bring people to help you build a new house."

“…?” Jiang Yan thought she had misheard.

"It's true. The captain also said that he couldn't let you and your mother live in such a shabby place. Otherwise, if people knew about it, they would laugh at him."

Jiang Yan didn't expect such a good thing to happen. It was just that happiness came too suddenly, and she could hardly believe her ears.

Fortunately, Guan Shi muttered again, and Jiang Yan finally realized what was happening. The captain was quite good at winning people over, and they really needed a house.

The next day, the mother and daughter got up early and cooked ten pounds of tofu. If for no other reason, the captain of the household personally brought people to build a house for them, so they had to cook a meal for him.

Last night, the mother and daughter discussed what kind of house to build, but after fantasizing for a long time, they finally made a decision together. They still tried to keep a low profile.

A small courtyard and two small houses will be enough.

As for the large courtyard with two or three entrances, the mother and daughter didn't even think about it.

When Captain Dong and his soldiers rode over, they saw two figures, one big and one small, working in the fields on the opposite bank of the river.

The older one used a small pickaxe to dig a hole, and the younger one sowed seeds into the hole. Then he filled the hole and stepped on it lightly.

"Hahaha, the children of our Xishan Hundred Households are all great. They know how to help adults with work at such a young age."

"Yes, Chenchen is a good kid, very smart and sensible."
