Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around

Guoguo had grown up, turning five and a half. Many people thought she was old enough and ready for school! Ye Heng, in particular, feared she would become illiterate and took the initiative to find a tutor for her. After several attempts, Guoguo refused, and ultimately, Old Lady Li decided to take her back to her hometown. Chai Zhen couldn't return yet; he was still needed on the mountain. Ye Heng found another person from the Ministry of Works to assist Chai Zhen. He was a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Works, not a high-ranking position, but someone with some knowledge. He helped Chai Zhen with the final stages of the construction of the Supervisory Academy.

When Guoguo left, she left Chai Zhen with only a handful of men: fifty men in black—they were there to do some work, but mainly to protect her family. Guoguo took two hundred and fifteen with her. Old Lady Li, Guoguo, and Xiao Yeheng, the elders and the youngest, took leave to escort them.

There is also Li Biaotou and his team who transport supplies back and forth. This time they brought ten carts of glass and ten carts of glassware, all of which are luxurious utensils for Guoguo to use in opening a store.

It took a month of stopping and starting along the way to reach Taoyuan County, thanks to the speed of the horse-drawn carriage. Old Mrs. Li saw a huge change. They had built a house in the county town, a double-entry courtyard, and planted a vegetable patch by the well. People were living here. The veterans were selling barbecue, and they were overjoyed to see Guoguo and the others back. They packed up early and headed home to Taohua Village. Passing by a shop, it was open, with a few literate veterans selling vegetables and daily necessities. There were plenty of people, but not much stock. Guoguo decisively closed the shop and went home, planning to come back in a couple of days to rest. "Okay." The veterans quickly packed up, closed, and locked the door.

The convoy didn't stay long before arriving at Taohua Village. The carriages rattled along, "da da da da da..." until they reached the doorstep. Someone had gone home to notify everyone, and many people were standing at the door.

Chai Pingan helped Li Hongying get out of the car, then picked up Guoguo and got out of the car, saying, "Guoguo is too heavy, grandpa can hardly hold her anymore." Little Tuanzi: Guoguo has grown up, grandpa. Chai Pingan: Yes, my daughter has grown up. Your great-grandfather hasn't come back. Little Tuanzi: No, he has to stay in Beijing to watch over the mountains. Chai Pingan said, "Oh!" Guoguo suddenly felt that she shouldn't leave her great-grandfather behind, as he is old. Guoguo's face looked bad, and Ye Heng saw it and asked Guoguo, "It's because your great-grandfather is old, I shouldn't let him stay in Beijing." Ye Heng: I know, so I found someone to help him. Little Tuanzi felt a little better when he heard it, and said, "Thank you, Brother Ye. I missed Beijing as soon as I came back." Ye Heng felt reluctant to leave Guoguo after hearing it. He felt reluctant to leave before he even left.

Sun Gui arrived and asked how Sun Quan was doing in Beijing. Ye Heng replied: "Very well, training daily and already a fourth-rank military officer." Sun Qing went to work at the Ministry of Personnel. Sun Gui praised him repeatedly. He then helped the Chai family serve tea and water.

Zhang Qingshan also rushed back from the county to entertain Ye Heng. He said that Taoyuan County now had enough food and no one would starve to death. He still needed to work hard to make the people's lives better. Chen Jun followed him back and first went back to the north courtyard to see how the buildings were doing. There were only a few rows of houses without a large wall. There was a playground—a martial arts training ground. Not all of it was planted with wheat. "Hey," he said, going back to find a house to rest.

Zhang Qing also came to help with the cooking. With so many people, they had to set up several large pots to cook. Now that we have land to live in, the surrounding buildings are empty. This year, more and more people have come to visit, and they can earn money for food and accommodation, making the village more prosperous. More people are coming here to learn farming, visit, and start businesses.

After school, Xiaodong, Huanhuan, Hengheng, Chai Ye, and Xiaoming all went home with their schoolbags. Seeing so many people at home, the children had no place to stand. Finally, Sun Gui arranged for everyone to live in the school square. After everyone left, the family relaxed a little. Li Jingwen saw Ye Heng and said, "Hello, Your Majesty." Ye Heng: Teacher, please sit down. When asked about Xiaodong's studies, Li Jingwen said: He is learning how to govern a country and he still needs to work hard. Xiaodong came in, bowed to Ye Heng, and left. Ye Heng, this child is still restrained. Guoguo went out to play with them. Playing in the square outside the courtyard wall. The classmates in the village are all grown up. Chen Jun has not been at home for the past two years, so Sun Gui found a doctor to teach the apprentices. The children all came and wanted to see their teacher, but Chen Jun fell asleep and did not see him. The children were a little disappointed. They were happy when Guoguo told them that Chen Jun was back.

The children didn't return home until dark. Rows of neatly arranged houses, clean and tidy. Flowers were still blooming in the roadside flower beds, and grape racks and fruit trees stood in front of every house. The roads were paved with yellow earth and paved with blue bricks.

The village entrance is majestic, taller than previous ones. The night watchman lives on the second floor, watching over the village. Every night, someone patrols and keeps watch. When something happens, the school bell rings, and the whole village hears. Sun Gui has devoted even more effort to the village in recent years. Jia He has also contributed a lot. Both have given so much to the village!

We all had dinner at the Chai family's house that night and went back to bed early. Ye Heng had his own room, and Guo Guo lived in the suite next door. Old Fourth wasn't home and lived in the main house, so Guo Guo lived here. Li Ru lived in a suite. Old Mrs. Li and Chai Ping'an, along with Huan Huan, Heng Heng, Chai Ye, Xiao Dong, and the others, lived in a separate room. Xiao Ming lived with the old blacksmith, taking care of him. Li Jingwen and his grandson lived in a suite. It had a bedroom, a study, a bathroom, and a toilet. Chen Jun and Chai Hua lived in a suite, each with a bedroom. Zhang Ying and Juanzi lived in a suite.

The Chai family's house was rebuilt and the design was changed, making it more convenient for people to live in.
