Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around

On the mountaintop, local people were approached to cook for the children in the canteen, paying them fifty coins a day. Both boys and girls, some with families, were allowed to study there. On the first mountaintop, there was an introductory class for children from nearby areas. While their parents worked in the mountains, the children could attend school, making it more convenient for everyone. Autumn was approaching, and Guoguo prepared for the harvest.

That day, Chai Gan came to the restaurant run by the man in black to hand over the account books and money for the past three years. Little Tuanzi looked through one of the books and remembered clearly that the total amount of silver accumulated in the three years had exceeded one million taels. Guoguo asked for a 10% interest and nothing else, saying, "You can divide it among yourselves." Chai Gan said, "We have food and clothes, so we don't need money." Guoguo asked, "Why don't you get married?" The man in black said, "I don't know who would be suitable. We'd have companionship and take care of each other if we were sick. We wouldn't need anyone else. Master, keep it. We'll get it back for you if you need it." Guoguo said, "Okay, but keep some for pocket money." Chai Gan said, "Okay, ten taels per person." Guoguo said, "That's too little. Five hundred taels per person." Chai Gan said, "Okay." He took out his own money and that of his colleagues and gave the rest to Guoguo, who put it in his personal space. He recorded in his little notebook how much money he and the man in black had received from him in a certain month and year. Guoguo taught Chai Gan a few more recipes. First, it was grilled fish, and now there were stewed fish, fried fish, a corn scrambled platter, fresh tofu soup, and so on. Chai Gan left with a smile. Guoguo saw that the man in black could smile. He had improved. He was almost like an ordinary person. "Oh," Guoguo sighed. What's almost like? He doesn't even know how to accept money, and he doesn't know how to find a wife. He's far behind. Okay. Oh, Guoguo was worried sick.

Guoguo went to the Chai residence. Ye Heng was helping out a lot in the women's workshop, but the machine-made garment department was still busy and full of work. But everyone looked good. There were so many custom-made garments that Chai Tao was too busy to talk. Guoguo left a few drawings and left.

At the vegetable shop, Jiaxing was also busy, stocking the shelves. Xiaowangzhuang sent people to deliver vegetables, and Jiaxing took them. The business was very good every day, and the daily necessities upstairs were in short supply. Guoguo had also put a lot of things into the warehouse. He made a good profit from the difference.

It was almost dark when Guoguo went to the clothing store. Xiahua was there with her child, counting the bills. Yanyan was playing nearby. When she saw Guoguo come in, she said, "Guoguo, Guoguo, here you are." "Yes, Yanyan, come here, sister, hold me." Yanyan was picked up by Guoguo. The little girl was more than three weeks older. Guoguo could still hold her. Guoguo asked: "Xiahua, are you ready?" Xiahua: "Almost, wait a minute!" Xiahua quickly packed up and said, "Okay, I made money again today. I got a lot of orders. I received ten thousand taels of silver. There is enough work for the women to do for a while. No other clothing store in the capital is as good as ours." Xiahua locked the door and followed him home. Li Guang and his wife lived in the backyard. Guoguo went to the backyard to visit her grandmother before returning.

In the evening, Chai Zhen came back, and Xia Hua, Yan Yan, Li Ru, Guo Guo, Jia Xing, Zhang Bao Hua, Xiao Lao Wu, and Chai Lu's family were all there. They gathered around the table for a lively meal.

Guoguo said, "Tomorrow I'm going to Xiaowangzhuang to see that it's time for the autumn harvest." Chai Zhen: "I'll go with you tomorrow. You still have to go to school." Guoguo: "I'll go in the evening." Chai Zhen: "I can't just ignore you, my great-grandfather. You think you're too tired. Look at how tall you've become at the age of nine. Don't you want to grow taller?" Guoguo: "I sleep enough. Don't worry, great-grandfather. Guoguo will grow up." Chai Zhen: "It's just that I haven't grown taller. You need to sleep more. There's always work to do."

Guoguo: Great Grandpa, I understand. I'll remember that. Great Grandpa deserves to enjoy his leisure time. Tomorrow you can just look after Yanyan and don't do anything else. Chai Zhen: Okay, I'll just stay home to look after the kids and grow some vegetables. I won't go out. Guoguo: That's right. No one in our family needs you to rest. Chai Zhen really should rest for a while. He's been a bit tired these past few years. Guoguo got up to boil some water - spiritual spring water - to make tea for the family. Everyone must drink one cup.

Guoguo went to the warehouse and put in rice, soybeans, oil, white flour, yellow flour, eggs, and vegetables. That was it. Then she returned to her room to rest. She went back into her space to shower and rest. Then she had a good sleep.

It was late when Ye Heng returned, and Guo Guo dragged him inside for a shower and rest. He'd had enough sleep after a long time in space. Ye Heng clung to Guo Guo and slept soundly. When he woke, Guo Guo had made tea, and Ye Heng sat on the sofa, savoring it. Guo Guo went outside to bring him boiled eggs, apples, and bananas. Ye Heng ate them with relish, saying, "Guo Guo, eat too." The two of them stole a moment of leisure. Everything was said without words.
