Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around

They rode slowly along the way, enjoying the scenery as they hurried along. After nearly a month, they arrived outside Beijing. Ye Heng and Chai Zhen were waiting on the road. Seeing the convoy from a distance, Ye Heng rode his horse and ran over. Guo Guo had already jumped off the carriage and was running. From a distance, they called out, "Grandpa, Brother Ye..."

Chai Zhen said, "Let's go home. You must be tired from the journey." Guoguo: Not tired, Great Grandpa. You get in the carriage, let's go home. Chai Zhen: Okay, okay. Let's go home.

Ye Heng rode his horse behind the carriage. The children's carriage followed behind, their curtains drawn and peeking out. "We've entered the capital." "Yes," the children said from behind. "What a lively scene!" "Look, there's a magician!" The children became animated, unable to sit still in the carriage. They all crowded their heads to peer out.

The convoy went north and stopped at Chai's house. Chai Zhen got out of the car, and Guoguo followed him. Chai Zhen was still preparing to carry Guoguo out of the car, but the child jumped out faster than him. Li Biaotou said, "Everyone has gotten out of the car. We're here." The children in the car came out one after another, jumping and hopping to stretch their muscles. Guoguo: Let's go in first, wash up, eat and rest. "Okay." The children said in unison, their voices deafening. Chai Zhen said with a smile, "Go in, eat first, and then arrange accommodation after you eat." There were many tables set up under the grape trees in the yard, waiting for them to come.

The night housekeeper had water boiled for bathing. Because there were so many people in the house, a bathing area was built in the courtyard for both men and women. The children took their change of clothes and went to bathe. After washing and changing into clean clothes, the meal was served and they ate. The cart in the backyard unloaded the cotton and muslin that had been saved over the years and was put into the warehouse.

The man in black returned to his original courtyard and came to the front yard to eat after washing up.

After the children finished their meal, Chai Zhen took them to live in the back of the mansion. Guoguo asked, "Grandpa, are the houses in the back finished?" Chai Zhen: Yes, Fengxing arranged for them to be built, saying they'd be ready for you when you get here. Little Tuanzi: Brother Ye really understands me. Let's go and take a look. It only takes a few minutes to get there, but the mansion is actually closer to the back door. It's not far. "Wow," Guoguo exclaimed, "so many buildings, so nice. And they all face south, so the light is great!" Chai Zhen: There's a garden in front and a vegetable garden behind the houses, where they grow vegetables. Guoguo ran to see them, taking a long walk. Little Tuanzi: Good, good. Just a short wall. Chai Zhen: Great Grandpa didn't think a wall was necessary, so he didn't allow it. Guoguo, if you want to build one, we'll get someone to come tomorrow. Little Tuanzi said: "Let's leave it like this for now, it's fine this way. We can build a wall when we have time." Chai Zhen: Okay, Grandpa will remember it. Little Tuanzi: Grandpa, why didn't you see Yanyan for a long time after Guoguo came back? Chai Zhen: Yanyan was taken to the shop by her mother and came back in the evening.

Little Tuanzi: I thought so. Chai Zhen arranged the children's rooms. The girls lived in one building, and the boys lived in another, separate buildings. There were more than ten buildings here, enough space for them. Four people lived in one room, and they lived in their own groups. The night manager had quilts brought in, and the beds were gradually made. The toilet was in the southwest corner, and there was also one upstairs, so you could relieve yourself and flush. There were signs indicating the men's and women's restrooms.

The children fell asleep quickly. Chai Zhen assigned two people to each floor to watch over the children, so they could be easily fixed. He thought it would be better to hire someone to build a wall around the courtyard; it would be safer, especially since most of the children were there. Xiaojing had started a family, so she moved into two rooms in the building, connecting them. It was quite nice. She could use it as a dormitory.

Chai Zhen and Guo Guo returned to the front yard, and Guo Guo went to sleep. Chai Zhen walked around the house. Thinking of something else to do, he went out.
