Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around

Today is the 26th day of the 12th lunar month. The school held a general meeting to announce the results and award prizes. Most students received their prizes, and Sun Gui had already given out prizes to those who didn't. Even the worst students received encouragement prizes, hoping to win the grand prize next time. He spoke briefly. After the meeting ended, the school reopened on the 16th day of the 1st lunar month. The janitor, Old Zhang, still had to watch the gate. Sun Gui offered him triple pay, saying he could go home during the day and come back at night. Old Zhang was delighted. Triple pay.

In fact, even if he didn't give money, Lao Zhang would still want to watch the door himself, for fear of losing something. In fact, nothing would be lost, because no one in his village would steal.

He Shouyi moved the things back home, and he and his servant were busy cleaning up the yard and the house.

As for the veterans, they had carriages and people, each paid a penny. They drove cars and transported people, deploying twenty-five carriages for two round trips a day. The others did other work at home. They shared the village benefits, and everyone was happy. After discussion, they decided to provide carriages and people. Those who gathered wood gathered wood, and those who cleared wasteland cleared wasteland. They all found work before Chai Zhen arranged anything, as no one wanted to eat for free. Those whose wounds were not healed were not allowed to leave the house. That was Chen Jun's order. Chen Jun visited them every day, took their pulses, and checked their health.

After attending the school assembly, the villagers took their children on the village horse-drawn carriage to go shopping in the county. Even if they didn't buy anything, they would go out and have fun.

Some people brought baskets of vegetables to try selling. A row of horse-drawn carriages stopped in front of the school, waiting for everyone to get on, and then left when they were full. Soon, carriages set off from Taohua Village one after another. Sun Gui knew that his villagers were all going to the county town, so he found a few people with similar martial arts skills and those who had been to the front lines. He led everyone to Chai's house to pick up horses. There were fifteen of them, and they were asked to protect them along the way and patrol the road to the county town. Someone who was paid said, "We will do this even if we don't get paid. We are doing this for the villagers." Sun Gui said: "This is a reward for everyone. Go ahead. Don't get hurt."

The carriages were very fast. The veterans drove them skillfully and steadily. In less than an hour, we arrived. We agreed to return to the village in the morning and then in the afternoon, two trips a day. Let everyone remember this.

We passed through two villages along the way, offering rides for two cents a trip. A round trip cost four cents. Many people took the bus, and with twenty buses running every so often, it was convenient for the villagers and also for other villages.

At the hour of Mao, the Chai family finished breakfast and arrived at the shop. They lit cannons to celebrate the grand opening. Chai Zhen said, "Today is the grand opening of Chai's Fruit and Vegetable Shop. Everyone is welcome to come and shop. We sell at fair prices and we are honest and trustworthy. We are open!"

Little Milk Bag also shouted, "Opened."

People had heard the news a few days earlier, and many people got up early and lined up. Old Lady Li stood aside and watched Chai Ping'an go in early to guard the things in the shop, prepare to work, and help load and weigh the things.

Guoguo prepared a shopping bag, but it cost two cents.

Chai Zhen opened the door and let everyone in. "Hold on, everyone can buy what they like." Some people, having bought vegetables from this shop before and trusting it, stopped pushing forward. Chai Zhen shouted, "Line up and go in."

Jiale also helped with the weighing. There were so many people, Chai Zhen joined in. Jiahe stood by the table at the main entrance. Scales were placed in a row near the gate. Everyone's purchases were weighed together. After everything was weighed, Jiahe collected the money. Xiaonaibao stood on a chair, using a calculator to help with the accounting. They stood together, weighing and collecting money, a one-stop service. Li Ru watched everyone choose their items. Xiaonaibao saw that the crowds of shoppers were around, but carrying them was inconvenient. She called her great-grandfather to the backyard. He brought in a bunch of large baskets with handles. "Everyone, take your baskets, shop, get paid, and then put your items in your own baskets." Chai Zhen heard this and said, "That's more convenient." He dragged the baskets out and said loudly, "Everyone, take these baskets and put the items you like in them. When you're done, put your items in your own baskets, pay, and leave. This makes things easier for everyone." Chai Zhen set the baskets by the door.

People eagerly peered at the items, only buying what they needed after they'd seen enough. Prices were marked, and purchases could be made based on how much money one brought. The first person to choose something was weighed, Jiale weighed it, and Xiaonaibao calculated, "The total is one and a half taels of silver." The customer said, "Do you have that much?" Jiale weighed each item again and quoted a price, and Xiaonaibao also calculated the total. "Again, one and a half taels of silver. You understand, sir!" Our scales are very accurate. Simply enter the unit price, add the vegetables, and the price will appear. The customer looked at our scales, and Jiahe added another vegetable. "Look carefully. Unit price, quantity, total price." The customer saw everything clearly, paid, picked up his purchases, and happily left. He had wanted to buy from this family for a long time. He just didn't understand how simple the calculations were and was afraid he'd made a mistake.

Later, he went home and weighed everything, feeling relieved. It was quite a lot.

Chai Pingan picked up the people who bought less, weighed them, and collected the money himself. Guoguo gave him a calculator, and everyone in the family used it.

Old Mrs. Li looked at the people who were walking out of the door after buying things, and said with a smile, "The vegetables are so fresh, and the fruits look festive." Old Mrs. Li was also happy.

Little Milk Bag would stop for a while and then come down to check the counter. If anything was missing or needed to be added, he would ask Grandpa to go to the back room to bring it back to the counter. Li Ru helped.

Little Milk Bag pulled out an electronic eye and had Jia He place it high up. She went to the backyard and connected the computer to the eye. The view of the shop was crystal clear, with a built-in video recording. She ran out and called Old Lady Li, saying, "Grandma, just look at the video and you'll see who's taking anything. Go out and tell me." Old Lady Li looked at the video and said, "This is the shop?! It's so clear." Old Lady Li sat down and watched the video. She could see who took anything, who twisted their face, everything clearly. Amazing! Amazing! Ah! Someone just stole an apple...

Old Lady Li walked out quickly, came to Guoguo, and whispered, "A little kid took an apple." Old Lady Li pointed to Guoguo. "I see, Grandma, you go back, I'll take care of this." "Okay."

When the adults came to weigh the items, Guoguo looked at the child, who lowered his head and said nothing. Guoguo said, "Little brother, do you want some apples? We have them in my shop. You can ask the adults to buy them for you." The child's mother asked, "Xiaolin, do you want apples?" The child nodded. "Little Milk Bag:" "Sir, you can put your things here and come back to settle the bill later." The child's mother said, "Okay, I'll put them on the floor and be right back." The mother picked up her son and went to get the apples, but the child secretly put them back. His mother brought him five large red apples and led him to the front desk, saying, "Please weigh them for me. Guoguo will ask Grandpa to weigh them." Little Milk Bag took the money, but Guoguo kept the money for the basket. He didn't ask for the apples, saying he appreciated the gift from his brother. The child's mother gave Guoguo money, but Guoguo refused to accept it. Chai Zhen said: "Madam, please take the money back. My child said it was for this brother, and it is." The child's mother said, "Thank you, little girl." Little Milk Bag: "Welcome to come again next time. Little brother wants to come too." The child nodded.

Chai Zhen looked at Guoguo and realized that something must have happened. Since Guoguo didn't say anything, he didn't ask and continued to weigh.

……

There were not many people at noon, but people kept coming to buy things, so we couldn’t close the store. The family decided to keep one person and let the others go back to eat.

Jia He: "I'll stay. You all go back to eat." Old Mrs. Li: "Okay, everyone, come quickly." Little Milk Bag: "Uncle, there are surveillance cameras in the house. Please make sure no one goes to the backyard." Jia He: "Okay, Uncle got it."

Jia He told Guo Guo to take all the money, leaving only a few coins. Little Milk Bag: "Okay." With a sweep of his tiny hand, all the money vanished. Little Milk Bag looked at everyone, laughing, hahaha! "Guo Guo is just happy to take the money. We'll share it when we get home tonight," he said. He was the first to walk out the door, his short legs treading with a detached gait, his head held high. The whole family roared with laughter! "That's hilarious," Jia Le said.

Wang Min had already finished cooking. Little No. 2 lay in a small cart, watching his mother cook. He wondered when he could walk again! He could go wherever he wanted. He closed his eyes and rested. This was the scene Old Lady Li saw when he entered the kitchen. Little No. 2 was despairing. He said, "This kid's got it in him." Little No. 1 joined in, playing with his brother. Her little hands tickled his face and arms, and he shook his head. Little No. 2 had no choice but to watch. He stared at Guoguo, his face adorably cute. "Hello, little brother! It's a good thing you can't talk, or you'd make a scene. Look at yourself, what are you thinking? You can't scold your sister. An elder sister is like a mother. Remember that, or she'll beat you when you grow up. Be obedient, especially to your elder sister." "Hahaha, Guo, does he understand what you're saying?" Little No. 1 said, "Grandma, children need to be taught from a young age." Old Lady Li said, "Yes, Guoguo is right. Teach them from a young age." Wang Min thought she'd have less worries now that someone was watching over her, and she secretly rejoiced. Boys are hard to manage, but fortunately, his parents are kind and help him take care of Da Huanhuan. Now someone has educated his second son, so he can worry less. His hands never stopped serving rice...

The family went to the living room of the main house to eat. Old Mrs. Li asked, "Is there any food left for the eldest son?" Wang Min said, "I know, mother. I'm saving it."

The lunch was delicious and the whole family was happy together. After the meal, Jiale took the food and went to the shop first, while the others rested.

In the shop, Jia He sat on a chair, looking out the door. It was sunny but cold. Luckily, his wife had made him cotton shoes, so he wasn't cold. He put on his coat. Seeing Jia Le coming, he stood up and said, "You finished dinner so soon." Jia Le said, "Sister-in-law made dinner when you got home." "You can eat in the backyard room while I watch the shop." Jia He took the food and went back to eat. Jia Le walked around the shop, checking what needed to be stocked. He went to the backyard warehouse and brought in goods, filling the shelves. He poured out some rice and noodles, and even left whole bags aside. Someone bought noodles and rice by the bag.

A villager came over, looked inside the shop, and asked, "Brother Jiale, is this yours?" Jiale: "Well, today's the first day, we just opened." The villager said, "I'm here to sell vegetables today too. I'm done and just checked it out. Someone said you opened a shop here, so I came to check it out. I sold all my vegetables this morning, so it's not bad." Jiale: "Great! Our greenhouse vegetables aren't grown in vain. As long as we can make money." The villager said, "Yes, I want to build a bigger one next year so we can start selling sooner." Jiale: "Yes, more money. I can eat and earn money, how great!" The villager said, "Yes." He looked at the apples, then at the price. He picked up two and asked Jiale to weigh them. Jiale: "Five cents." "Okay." The villager gave Jiale five cents and put the apples in his bag. The villager said, "Jia Le, I'm back in the village. The carriage is almost here. Let me tell you, there are twenty carriages from our village going to the county town today, two round trips a day. There are a lot of carriages. They are the carriages driven by those old soldiers." Jia Le: "This is good news."

Villager: "Well, it only costs one cent for people from our village, and two cents for people from other villages. It's just right for me to leave in our village." Jiale: "Okay, go back." Jiale sent the villagers to the door.

Jiale sat down on the chair and closed his eyes to rest. Jiahe saw it from inside. Hey, this guy. Eat quickly, I want to lie down for a while after eating.

……

Chai Zhen and his companions rested briefly at home before getting some water. Chai Ping'an, carrying a large pot of water, came to the shop, chatting and laughing along the way. Wang Min also arrived, carrying the second child. The little girl was wrapped tightly in a blanket, leaving only her nostrils visible. She looked down, unable to see anything, and was furious. She struggled so hard that Wang Min could barely hold her. When they arrived at the shop, Old Lady Li told her to go to the backyard. Well, as soon as Wang Min entered the room, she put the second child on the bed, opened the quilt and said, "Move forward, do whatever you want, your mother won't restrain you." Jia He woke up as soon as Wang Min came in, looked at his wife, and knew from what she said that the second child had pissed off his mother. He sat up, and Wang Min saw what was on the table, and looked at his parents, Guoguo and the others inside, and said, "Jia He, what are you doing? Why are you seeing your parents?" Jia He picked up the second child and said, "Boy, you made your mother angry, be careful of getting a spanking." Jia He walked to Wang Min and looked at the screen, and said, "This is a monitor in the computer shop. They're watching over there through this screen to prevent thieves. It was cold in the room, and Jia He wrapped the second child in the quilt again. The second child pulled himself to see the screen. Seeing that there were more people inside, Jia He had to go to the scale to collect money, and handed the second child to Wang Min, "Boy, don't be naughty. " Wang Min picked up the little second child, facing the screen, and let the little second child watch, and then he behaved well. Jia He went to the shop to work.
