The whole family traveled through ancient times with their house

It was unfortunate that Mada's parents came at the wrong time. They brought all their belongings with them and happened to see Mada and his men training in the open space outside the Hundred Households Office.

Mada looked at his parents' gray hair and his heart broke into pieces. His parents were only forty years old, and their hair was black before his accident.

Mada knelt in front of his parents and cried uncontrollably, "Dad, Mom, it's me who's the bastard. It's me who caused you to suffer."

Ma's father and mother also hugged their son and burst into tears. The son they had raised had never suffered such a hardship. Now, after only a few months of not seeing him, he had been treated so badly that he had sunburned. They were so distressed that they almost forgot to breathe.

"Woo, woo, my son." Ma's mother wished she could suffer this for her son.

"Mom, mom~" Mada was afraid that his mother would faint, so he kept helping her to breathe.

After a long time, the family sat in the shade of a tree by the roadside and talked.

Mada was the first to wipe away his tears and tried to persuade his parents to leave. "Dad, Mom, there might be a war here. You should leave now."

Mada didn't want his parents to return to their hometown and be exploited by those people again, so he suggested that they go to a wealthy town near the capital and settle down.

Ma's father and mother were unwilling to leave. "You are our only son. Wherever you are, your parents will be there."

Mada couldn't stop crying again, "Dad, Mom, I was ignorant before, and made you worry about me..." Mada choked and couldn't continue.

Mother Ma held her son tightly, unwilling to let go. "Son, no matter what happens, I will never leave you. If this is our fate, the three of us will die together."

Ma's father had the same attitude, "Son, your mother is right. As long as you're fine, we're fine. If something happens to you... what's the point of us two old guys still being alive?"

Captain Dong felt pity for Ma's parents when he saw their gray hair. He asked Zhang Xiaoqi to give Ma Da a day off so that he could settle his parents first and then return to train.

After hearing the arrangements made by Captain Dong, the three members of the Ma family burst into tears of gratitude. The old couple of the Ma family even knelt down and kowtowed to Captain Dong.

Captain Dong waved his hand and asked them to stand up.

"It's so hot, it's really hard to walk such a long way. Let's go back quickly."

"Thank you, Captain."

"Thank you, sir."

The three of them bid farewell to Captain Dong and Zhang Xiaoqi, and then rode a mule cart towards the Thirteenth Banner.

On the mule cart, Ma's father asked Ma, "Son, how are you doing here?"

"Fortunately."

"Is everything okay?" Ma's mother also wanted to know more about her son's life here.

"The one who just gave me the holiday is Captain Dong, the captain of the Xishan Hundred Household Office. And the one standing closest to me is Zhang Xiaoqi, who is my son's immediate superior."

"How are they?"

"They are good people. At least after I arrived at the Thirteenth Banner, no one bullied me."

"What about your uncle Wang?"

"Uncle Wang helps me farm at home and also takes care of building a house."

"The house isn't finished yet?"

"Not yet. Mom and Dad just saw that all the strong men from the Thirteen Banners have gone out for training, and the ones left at home are all gone." Ma Da suddenly thought of the Ye family. "When we get back, Dad will go and hire someone from the Ye family. The men there are all very capable."

"Is it the Ye family that was exiled with you?"

"Ah."

"Then, how can Dad have the nerve to hire them to build a house?"

"Don't be embarrassed. General Ye said that they also need to make a living. If they want to live a better life, of course they need money."

"Okay, when we get back, Dad will go talk to General Ye. At most, Dad will give him some more money."

"Dad, I'm sorry, it's my son who ruined our family business."

"Son, this is fine."

"Mother~"

"Son, it's true. You don't know how relieved your father and I are to be away from those shameless people."

"Yes, your mother and I are happy to eat an extra bowl of rice these days."

"Oh, son, you don't know. I used to feel so upset when I saw them. Now, when I see dogtail grass on the roadside, I want to pick it and put it on my head."

"That's right. Your dad feels lighter when he thinks about those lazy guys who can no longer suck our blood."

Mada sat on the shaft of the cart, listening to his parents talk about how comfortable they were after leaving their hometown, and his mood improved.

...

Jiang Yan and her daughter were also very happy today. The peaches growing on the peach trees under the cliff were already ripe.

Jiang Yan had heard from Guan before that the fruits of these peach trees were not big and did not taste very good, but they were already snacks for all the children in the Thirteen Banners.

Jiang Yan felt very uncomfortable when she heard this, so she took the opportunity to secretly transfer wood-related abilities to Taoshu several times while she was working here.

Yichen looked at the peaches that were as big as an adult's fist, with pink pointed tips. They looked delicious.

I rushed over impatiently.

"Chenchen, slow down."

"Mom, it looks delicious. I want to eat it."

"Okay, Mommy will take it off for you now."

Jiang Yan said this as she activated her wood-type ability. The vine in her hand immediately flew out and brought back two of the largest peaches in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Yan squatted down, and water flowed out of Yi Chen's hands. Soon Jiang Yan washed the peaches and picked the best one for Yi Chen.

With a "crunch," Yichen's delicate teeth bit off a piece of fruit flesh, and the sweet fruity aroma filled her mouth. Yichen narrowed her eyes in satisfaction and uttered, "Mom, this peach is delicious." Yichen wanted to say that it was better than modern peaches.

But she thought about it and felt that the present time was like her past life, so she decided not to mention it again.

Jiang Yan picked the ripe peaches and brought them home, then she activated her wood-type ability to ripen the remaining peaches. She was ready to pick them all and take them back to distribute to all the children in the Thirteen Banners.

After all, this place used to be a paradise for children. It was only with their appearance that this place became a restricted area.

...

These days, the children of the Thirteen Banners have been very busy. Children over ten years old have all gone to stand guard and patrol, and the chores they used to do at home have been pushed onto their younger brothers and sisters.

Jiang Yan was carrying two large baskets of peaches across the river when she saw Sansheng discussing with his friends on the dirt road about going to help his brothers.

"Three wins."

"Aunt Jiang."

All the young boys had sharp eyes and could see the peaches in Jiang Yan's basket from more than ten feet away.

Sansheng took the lead and ran over, and his friends followed him.

The closer the boys got, the more they couldn't see enough. They stared at the peaches in Jiang Yan's basket without blinking.

"Aunt Jiang."

"Aunt Jiang."

"Aunt Jiang."

"Hey, hey hey."

The boys all followed Sansheng and called Jiang Yan, Aunt Jiang, and Jiang Yan responded one by one.
