The whole family traveled through ancient times with their house

Early in the morning, a thin mist covered the valley, and Captain Dong rode his horse to the Thirteen Banners.

He was afraid of waking up others, so he slowed down as he urged his horse into the valley.

When the captain was leading his horse across the river, Jiang Yan and her daughter noticed him, but neither of them said anything. They pretended not to know and continued to do what they were doing.

Captain Dong didn't want to disturb Jiang's mother and daughter, so he tied his warhorse to a big tree by the river before approaching the rice fields.

The rice in the fields has already grown and is lush and green. From a distance, it looks like a large green blanket.

When he got closer and squatted down to take a closer look, the rice seedlings were like energetic children, stretching their bodies hard and exuding vitality.

Before, Captain Dong had gone to the Dongshan Captain's Office under the pretext of exchanging ideas. Dealing with Xia Wan Gu was just an excuse. In fact, his main purpose was to see the rice they planted.

In order to see it more clearly, he forced Xia Wan Gu into the rice field and made him fall flat on his back.

Thinking about it now, Captain Dong wants to laugh. It feels so damn satisfying.

The rice seedlings he saw at Dongshan Baihu seemed to be different from the rice seedlings he saw in front of him.

How to say it, the difference is immediately apparent.

When I saw the rice seedlings at Dongshan Baihu Suo, the first thing that came to my mind was: skinny and bony.

But the rice seedlings before him were so adorable he didn't know what to say. The simplest way to describe them was that they were strong and sturdy, just like the boys he liked.

Things that are grown at home are always good. If these rice seedlings could withstand his paws, he would have wanted to touch them.

Zhang Xiaoqi also heard the sound of horse hooves. He put on his jacket and came out to see Captain Dong running towards the other side of the river.

At this moment, seeing that he wanted to hold the rice seedlings in his arms, I wanted to make fun of him.

But he really didn't dare to do this, for fear that the captain would be too embarrassed to wrestle with him.

With his old arms and legs, how could he withstand the beating from the captain? For his own safety, all his parts remained in place, so he had to endure it.

Captain Dong was watching intently when he heard a rustling sound from behind. He turned around and saw Zhang Xiaoqi walking towards him like a thief.

"What are you doing?"

"Sir, I didn't do anything."

"Why are you walking like that when you're not doing anything? I'd have thought your hips were broken."

"No. I was just afraid that my footsteps would make too much noise and disturb the adults from observing the rice seedlings."

Dong Baihu was very satisfied with Zhang Xiaoqi's answer, so he pulled him aside to tell him about his discovery.

"Mrs. Jiang's rice seedlings are better than those grown in Dongshan. Look at how long these rice seedlings are. They are more than two inches taller than those grown in Dongshan."

"Are there that many?"

"Yes, I measured it with my fingers yesterday." Captain Dong was afraid that Zhang Xiaoqi would not believe it, so he stretched out his right hand to demonstrate to him again.

Yichen lay on the wooden door of her house, and through the crack in the door she saw two grown men sitting on the edge of the field chatting animatedly.

When they were talking excitedly, they leaned back and used the ground as their bed, not caring about the dewdrops still swaying on the grass.

You know what, the clothes wet by the dew felt quite cool against my body.

It was not until they heard Guan calling for dinner that the two of them got up from the grass.

"Sir, please come to my house for breakfast."

"Okay." Captain Dong didn't forget. He also wanted Guan to accompany them to see if the peanuts had grown.

After Yichen saw them leave, she skipped over to tell her mother, "Mom, the captain and the flag officer were called out by Aunt Guan for dinner. But I guess they'll be back soon."

"How do you estimate that?"

"The captain hasn't seen Peanut's condition yet, how can we go back?"

"Well, our Chenchen's analysis makes a lot of sense."

"Hehe, Mom, let's eat quickly. I don't want to waste time with them. It's too tiring."

"Okay, let's eat now."

The mother and daughter had a breakfast like they were fighting a war, then locked the gate and carried their shovels and pickaxes to the other side of the cliff to make ridges for the potatoes and sweet potatoes.

When Guan came with her husband and Captain Dong, she saw that the door to Sister Jiang's courtyard was locked.

"She must be working somewhere far away, otherwise Sister Jiang wouldn't have locked the door."

"Oh."

"But it doesn't matter. The peanuts are planted over there and we can see them when we go over there." Guan said, pointing to the back of the courtyard.

After figuring out where the peanuts were planted, Captain Dong no longer needed Guan to lead the way. He took big strides and walked forward along the path.

When he got closer and saw the bright new green, his eyes changed.

"It's grown already? The leaves of this peanut are really pretty."

"I also think peanut leaves look better than other crops."

When Guan came over, she saw her husband and the captain sitting on the ground and talking loudly.

"This Madam Jiang is a capable person. She grows rice better than the Dongshan Hundred Households Office, and she can also grow peanuts."

“I just don’t know what the yield will be like in the fall.”

"It's definitely higher than the Dongshan Hundred Households Office."

"I won't argue with you about this."

Guan wanted to say, "I also approve of your mysterious self-confidence."

...

The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and it hadn't rained. The news Zhang Xiaoqi brought back from outside was that the drought was getting worse.

Every time the drought was mentioned, Zhang Xiaoqi would raise his chin proudly, his eyes seemed to be telling how far-sighted he was.

Guan was also very supportive and never tired of telling Jiang Yan how they came here.

"What the Captain said today is implying that he might accept another group of exiled criminals."

"You agreed?"

"Not yet. We're all getting along pretty well, and I don't want a few frivolous people to come and cause trouble for me."

"How do you know it's the shaking fur and quills?"

"Because of the drought, the eyes of those small flags ahead are all on our Thirteenth Banner, especially Gao Lao San, who has been asking the Captain several times to merge with us."

"I don't want to merge with them, boss, you have to hold on. As for that woman from Gao Lao San's family, she thinks she's at a disadvantage if she doesn't take advantage. I can't get along with her."

"Don't worry, wife. Even though Gao Lao San is so happy, as long as Madam Jiang is here, the captain can't let them in."

"Oh, how could I have forgotten about this? My sister is here, and the captain is worried about that woman."

Jiang Yan didn't expect that there was something else going on with her.

Seeing Sister Jiang looking at her in confusion, Guan explained the details to her.

"That woman from Gao Laosan's family is a short-sighted person who loves to take advantage of others. The military households in their small flag are really unlucky. She wants to plunder everything that is planted in anyone's fields."

Guan pointed at what Jiang Yan had planted and continued, "If she saw what you've planted, she would have to take away at least half an acre of your land."
