Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around

Chapter 138: School Exam, Visitors from the Border

On the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, all the teachers in the school come to school because the children have various exams and both adults and children are nervous.

Guoguo sent her brothers to school. On the way, the little kid said, "Brothers, don't panic. I, Guoguo, have taken many exams, so just keep a normal mind. If you don't do well this time, there will be next time. I'm not afraid of anything. I'm just afraid that the teacher will come to my house?" The children all looked at Guoguo, thinking, "What do you mean, she took many exams? What is a teacher?" "I'm just afraid... that the teacher will come to my house...?" Now they remembered that the teacher was the teacher! After all this time, they are still afraid of the teacher! Hehe, the kid laughed, "You're still talking about others!" Hengheng whispered.

"Hmph," Guoguo heard, but didn't guess. She continued, "Don't worry about doing badly on the test. Answer the questions the way you studied. Remember to read the questions, understand what they mean, what you're trying to say, and comprehend the requirements in one sentence." Guoguo then laughed and said, "Whatever you want." She raised her eyebrows, looking like a wicked little waiter. "Sister Guoguo, we get it. Don't be afraid!" Hengheng spoke first. Chai Ye was just over two years old, and he was in the kindergarten class with the younger students. Although he was small, he learned a lot and was very smart! Huanhuan caught Guoguo's expression. Hey, this is the true nature of his sister, not the gentle Xiaoyi.

The siblings chatted and laughed along the way, their initial nervousness gone. Guoguo watched the brothers enter the classroom. Wangwang and Mumu had also arrived. Guoguo called out from a distance, "Brother Wangwang, brother Mumu..." The brothers said, "Good morning, sister. What are you doing here?" Guoguo said, "I'm here to cheer you up. Don't be nervous, just stay calm. If you don't do well on the test this time, there's always another time."

Wangwang: "I remember. Don't panic."

Mumu: "Don't be nervous, I'll try my best." Guoguo: "That's right, I'll do my best. If you can't learn it, keep trying!" Wangwang thought, yes, if you keep trying, you will eventually learn it, and you will learn a lot. The two brothers talked to Guoguo for a while and felt much more relaxed and less nervous. Daddy gave instructions at home, and Mom said. Now the two brothers are not panicking anymore. Wangwang said, "We're going in. After the exam, we'll come to play with you."

Guoguo: "Okay, keep going." Guoguo watched his two brothers go in. He walked out of the school gate with his short legs and hands behind his back.

In a flash, Guoguo arrived at the village entrance and stood at the gatehouse. The main gate was wide open, usually not locked. The central gate was open, and the side gates were locked. They were only opened unless there were major events or a large crowd. Five gates lined up side by side, quite impressive. The second floor was a lookout post, with a building with a window and a bed, where the night watchmen took turns resting. There were tables, stools, and kettles. Night watchmen had been patrolling the village since this winter, greatly increasing the sense of security.

From a distance, I could see carriages approaching the corner, one after another in a line. "Why are there so many carriages? Who are they?" At the village gate, Guoguo stood still in the middle. A driver called out from a distance, "Sister Guoguo, sister Guoguo!" Little Milk Bag: "Who's calling me?"

The first carriage stopped, and the ones behind it stopped one after another. Many people jumped off the carriage and walked up to the front. "Sister Guoguo, don't you recognize us? This is the wounded camp!" Guoguo took a closer look and said, "I remember that you were injured in the battle, and it was me who washed your wound. I didn't have time to ask, what's your name?" "My name is Zhang Ergou. It's not a nice name, but it was given to me by my parents, so I won't change it. Sister Guoguo, just call me Ergou." Guoguo, "Okay, brother Ergou, what are you doing?" Zhang Ergou pushed the leader. The leader was a disabled veteran with some education. General Ma asked him to lead the group. He reported, "Sister Guoguo, my name is Li Dafa. I'm a veteran of the cavalry battalion. I'm injured and can't go to the battlefield. The general asked us to come to Taohua Village to find Uncle Chai Zhen and arrange for us to stay. We're all people who can't go home. We're good people, but we have some physical problems, big or small. See if you can take us in." Guoguo said with a smile, "I know about that. Let's go find my great-grandfather." They caught the carriage and left. Er Gouzi picked up Guoguo and said, "Let's go." The group of people and horses marched neatly into Taohua Village. They followed the main road to the river, then headed north and east, stopping at the dike east of the east courtyard. "Wow, so many carriages," Li Dafa said. "Yes, some people are still lying down, unable to move. There are so many people, so there are more carriages. They will all be left. General Ma said they will be used by us." Guoguo asked, "How many people are there?" Li Dafa said there were twenty-five carriages, a total of two hundred people. Some wounded soldiers returned home after recovering from their injuries. The general gave them a lot of money. He also told them to come back to him if they were unhappy back home. "It seems General Ma has made all the arrangements for you!" "Yes."

Chai Zhen came out and let everyone into the house first, and everyone sat down in the yard. Li Dafa handed the list of personnel to Chai Zhen and said, "These are all arranged by the general. He said he has caused you trouble. Uncle, I promise that although we are disabled, we can definitely endure hardships, work harder, and support ourselves." Chai Zhen: "Brother, what are you talking about? These are the people I asked the general to find when I came back. You are all treasures of our village. Once you come here, you are a family. It's cold, I will arrange meals first, and settle down in the house first before we talk about other things." Guoguo said, "Grandpa, Brother Ye's mansion can accommodate people. People always need to wash up when they come from afar, so you can stay where it is convenient to take a shower." "Okay, let's stay there." Chai Zhen: "Let's go, stay here first, and everyone get on the carriage and follow me." "Okay, everyone follow me." Li Dafa said.

Old Lady Li cooked at home with her daughter-in-law, Xiaojuan, Li Ru, Wang Min, and Ma Xiaohong. She had the four women from Chai Xin's family called in to help cook. Old Lady Li simply invited everyone to come, and Chai Xin and Chai Dongshuai locked the door. The men chopped wood while the women cooked, making pancakes, steaming rice, and simmering large pots of vegetables. Three large fires lined the kitchen door, making it easy to cook.

Chai Zhen led everyone to the palace and said, "This is the prince's residence. No one lives there now. You can stay here for the winter first. When the weather warms up, I will build houses for everyone."

First, lead the horses out and take them to the stables. There's hay in the stables. Guoguo ran over and put out a few bags of soybeans. "Come here and get the horse feed," he shouted. "There's water in the water tank." Guoguo had just put out the spiritual spring water. Seeing the horses were in poor health, Guoguo figured they were retired from the battlefield and had performed meritorious service, so they needed to be well cared for. The water troughs were already in place; the mansion was completely finished.

Chai Zhen called Jiale over, opened the warehouse, and took out quilts and mattresses, each with a bed. Jiale had others help make the beds, light a fire for warmth, and boil water for bathing. Everyone was given a set of clean clothes, complete with everything from underwear to shoes. All shoes were cotton. Guoguo said, "Come here, I'll show you how to wash your hands and shower in the restroom. To relieve yourself, that's to say, poop. Go outside. There's a toilet in the southeast corner." A few of the others followed Guoguo to see. Little Naibao went up there himself to pee. "Ah! The adults were stunned!" Guoguo got up, pulled up his pants, and flushed the toilet. "Just flush it like this. The water's gone. Pull this off, and the water in the pipe will flow out. It won't stink. It's clean. There's a sink, towels, soap, and even laundry detergent." "Excellent. Good, good," the veteran said. "Remember to pull the pipe out gently and gently." "We remember that. That's fantastic!" "Guoguo continued, "Now someone will heat the kang for you, light the fire, and you can take a bath with hot water. There is a bathing pipe on the side. There is no pool. You can stand and take a bath with hot water. It is hygienic. Remember to clean up after taking a bath. You can't let Guoguo clean up. Guoguo is still young. Hehe."

Soldiers went to get clothes to take a shower. There was a changing area outside. More than ten people could take a shower at the same time.

Outside, Chai Zhen said, "Whoever's done cleaning up, let's go home for dinner." Chai Zhen and Guo Guo went home. Jia Le brought some people to help.

"Grandpa still needs sheets and pillows. Come back tonight to deliver them." Chai Zhen looked at the little girl and thought, "Oh, you worry so much." The little girl walked all the way back by herself.
