The whole family traveled through ancient times with their house

Jiang Yan took into consideration that she and her daughter had received help from the captain and the officers and soldiers. Without the great help of these officers and soldiers, she and her daughter would not know when they would be able to move into their new house.

Just like what Guan said before she left yesterday, "If you want to repay the kindness of the captain and brothers, you should farm well."

"Yes. If Madam Jiang can grow rice, or even more grain, that would be better than anything else." Zhang Xiaoqi had spent the past two days observing Madam Jiang's fields, and after seeing them, he was extremely satisfied. "Madam Jiang, let's not even talk about your rice fields. Even your wheat, millet, and sorghum are growing better than ours." Zhang Xiaoqi couldn't understand why those who had been farming for longer than Madam Jiang couldn't produce the same crops as hers.

Jiang Yan: Every now and then, she would secretly use her wood-based abilities to nourish the crops. Surely that wouldn't be good. But it was a secret, so she couldn't tell anyone. She could only lower her head and smile shyly.

Guan had her own opinion. "I've heard my grandparents say that tending to crops is just like taking care of children, you have to be as attentive as possible. My sister's crops are growing well, so it must be because she's been taking good care of them."

Jiang Yan agreed with this and nodded slightly in agreement as she really put her heart into it.

Zhang Xiaoqi also discovered something else, "Wife, have you noticed? The fields planted by Madam Jiang are exceptionally clean. I didn't see a single grass thorn."

Guan: "This further demonstrates how diligently my sister tends these fields."

"Yeah." Zhang Xiaoqi agreed very much.

"When I see these fields, I can think of how hard my sister works."

Hearing their conversation, Jiang Yan smiled silently. Only they knew that the weeds in the field had been transformed by her into supernatural powers.

The weeds in the field also contributed to her current ability advancement. Although this power was minimal, it should not be underestimated.

Jiang Yan had a lot of thoughts in her mind for a moment. She rubbed her hands unconsciously a few times with the calluses gradually disappearing. She decided to practice her supernatural powers under the cover of night.

The following days were even busier for the mother and daughter. Not only did they have to take care of the crops in the fields, but they also had to tidy up the new house.

It was the busy farming season, and every family was busy with their own fields and could not spare any time to help them. So, they had to do everything themselves.

Fortunately, the mother and daughter's bodies were nourished by the supernatural power and have recovered their health.

The mother and daughter had a clear purpose: they would finish their work in the fields before tidying up the yard.

Yichen knew that she was young and couldn't help much, so she squatted by the river every day to pick up stones.

The sharp corners were placed on the wall, and the pebbles were laid on the ground. She wanted to build a cobblestone path from her yard to the river to avoid the muddy road when it rained.

The freshmen seemed to like this game very much as well, and they happily ran around Yichen.

Yichen also likes them and teaches them how to manage the chickens, ducks and geese at home.

Guan took some time to come and see the mother and daughter with her youngest son. Seeing that the two-foot-wide path had been paved to more than ten feet long, she couldn't help but praise them.

"Our Chenchen is not only smart but also capable. Look at this, it doesn't look like something a four-year-old girl can do."

Sansheng blushed. He was already eight years old and had never thought of paving a path with river stones. However, when he remembered that his brothers had never done it, his expression gradually brightened. Since his brothers hadn't done it, no one would laugh at him if he didn't do it. Even if someone did laugh at him, they would laugh at his brothers first.

As for Sister Chenchen, nothing she did was surprising, because she was a clever child praised by the captains. He wasn't jealous at all, only proud, because this was their sister Chenchen, so she should be the smartest.

...

Time seemed to pass quickly at the border without any war, and summer came in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Yan and her daughter also moved smoothly into their new home. The layout of the new house was typical of border architecture. It consisted of three rooms, one bright and two dark. The center was the main room, with bedrooms on either side. There was also an annex to the east, half used as a kitchen and the other half as a storage area for sundries.

There was also a woodshed in the backyard, and next to it was a toilet. The toilet was built by the soldiers of the garrison according to the pattern Jiang Yan had drawn on the ground with branches.

When the latrine was completed, Guan's eyes lit up after she saw it. "This latrine is great! The excrement just slides down the slope into the pit outside the wall. Nothing gets left on top. It's really great."

After seeing the outhouse, Guan went to Zhang Xiaoqi to discuss it: "Master, let's build our outhouse like this, otherwise it will be too uncomfortable when it rains and is cloudy."

Zhang Xiaoqi thought of his own outhouse. No, every outhouse was the same. It had a large vat at the bottom, and a rectangular leak hole made by nailing four wooden boards above it, directly above the vat.

When you want to go to the toilet, you just squat on it. Haha, this situation is okay on sunny days, it’s just smelly.

Think about it, this is how it has been for thousands of years, and no one has been killed by the stench. If others can tolerate it, we can tolerate it too.

But he suffered when it rained. He felt sick just thinking about getting his butt splashed with shit and urine.

"The boss?"

"Wife, you don't have to rush me. Let's go home today and build a hut just like this one."

"We have to build one at home too." Dong Baihu thought so too.

"The outhouses in our centurion's office should also be built like this." Guo Xiucai expressed the brothers' thoughts.

The captain of the 100-household had no objection and agreed immediately. However, the look in his eyes when he looked at Madam Jiang changed again. He couldn't help but secretly marvel at how Madam Jiang had such a good idea. She had done something that would benefit everyone.

It seems that they will have to pay more attention to the lives of Madam Jiang and her daughter in the future, so that Madam Jiang can come up with more and better ideas to facilitate everyone.

...

As summer arrived, it hadn't rained yet. When Guan came to bring some things to the mother and daughter, they realized that some places outside were suffering from drought.

"Our Thirteen Banners are still the best. We have only ten households, and there is a small river passing through us." Thinking of this, Guan admired her husband's vision.

"My husband said that the Hundred Households Office is starting to get worried."

"Is it that serious?"

"That's right. Many people were reluctant to come to the Thirteen Banners at first, as they disliked the distance from Black Stone City. It was my husband who volunteered to come here because he didn't want to embarrass the Captain."

"This place is pretty good, with mountains and water. Sooner or later we'll have to build it into a granary."

"Hey, I just love to listen to my sister talk."
