Ye Heng drove directly to his home in Tianjin and pulled into the garage, where the door automatically closed and locked. The two of them returned to the space with Sibao and headed straight out. Once inside, they saw everyone was still there. It was noon. Old Lady Li and the others in the room breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the sudden appearance of the few people.

Old Mrs. Li said, "You are finally back." Guoguo thought to himself, "How could we not come back?" Ye Heng: "Arrange for the children to go to school, and let the great-grandfather and the others live in the house. Find someone to help with cooking and looking after the house." He didn't say much else. With Huangbao there, he didn't need to worry about anything.

Chai Pingan: "Let's go, it's time to eat. I feel relieved. They haven't gone anywhere all morning. They've been waiting here."

The whole family, along with everyone invited from Taohua Village, were celebrating the New Year in the main hall. Sun Gui's family had all come, Sun Qing had also found a wife and started a family, as had Qin Han's family, and so on. Guo Guo: "In a few days, yes, we'll be home after the 15th or 16th." Ye Heng: "We'll have a car to take everyone there."

Sun Gui: "Okay. Sixteen will go."

We ate and drank, Guoguo took out a lot of fresh fruits for everyone to eat.

After dinner, everyone went to the greenhouse to have a look. Zhang Qing: "Guoguo, this greenhouse is so big!" Guoguo: "It has more than ten acres of land, and it grows a lot of vegetables. There are so many people eating at the mansion, and if we don't grow enough vegetables, there won't be enough to eat."

Sun Gui also said: "Yes, our village has big greenhouses, and every household in our village has vegetables to eat in winter. Some families go to the county to sell vegetables in winter and make a fortune!" Guo Guo thought of the modern times, and also made a fortune by growing winter vegetables, and said, "Growing vegetables in winter can sell them at a good price, so of course you can make a fortune! Grandpa Sun encouraged the villagers to build more greenhouses to grow vegetables, and they can also grow fruits to sell. For example Selling watermelons in winter can fetch a very high price. Sun Gui heard this and said, "You can actually grow watermelons in winter! That's incredible!" Guoguo said, "As long as the water is warm enough, you can!" Sun Gui said, "Great! Great! Let's try it this winter." Guoguo said, "Calculate the number of days it takes to plant watermelons. If you want to sell them in the twelfth month of winter, plant the seeds that many days in advance!" Sun Gui said, "I understand. Let's try it this year. You can see there are so many varieties of vegetables in the greenhouse." Guoguo said, "Planting a variety of leeks at once is a perennial herb that you can eat for years. You don't need to plant them again. Once they're grown, just add some wood ash to the soil. You can harvest them once a month. Spinach is easy to grow. Cucumbers and tomatoes are delicate vegetables that command high prices..."

We stayed in the greenhouse for half a day, leaving only for dinner. It was warm inside, with sofas and coffee tables, and we drank tea and chatted. ...

After the fifteenth and sixteenth, everyone from Taohua Village arrived at the Chai Mansion. Everyone who had returned had arrived. Ye Heng arranged for wagons to arrive, each with a large tent, and the interior was immaculately clean. There were two rows of wide benches covered with thick quilts, a table, and a kettle with food. There were also small carts, but they held fewer people. Behind them followed a larger cart with water tanks, steamed buns, and several baskets filled with steamed buns, dotting the road. They were also carrying goods. Twenty wagons were dispatched this time, each manned by Ye Heng's trusted secret guards.

Sun Gui said goodbye to the Chai family and got on the car. Zhang Qing also went back. Guo Guo showed them how to adjust the car so that the seats could be lowered and people could lie down.

After seeing off her fellow villagers, Old Lady Li watched the carriage drive away before returning to her house. She'd been away for years, and most of her children were here, leaving her worried. Today, her eldest and third sons had all passed away, a thought that had ripped the old lady's heart away. "Oh, when will the whole family be together?" Guoguo understood the old lady's thoughts. She said, "Grandma, why don't you let your eldest and third uncles come to the capital? There's work for them here." Old Lady Li said, "No, they told me they don't want to come here. They're fine at home, as long as they have work." Guoguo thought to herself, even if there's no work, there's food to eat. Why must they keep working?

Guoguo: "Grandpa won't go out this year." She stayed at home with grandma. Old Mrs. Li: "Okay, we have land to farm at home, and there's plenty of work to do." Chai Ping'an didn't even say a word, as his work was already arranged.

On the way, Jiale and Fu Zhaoxia were in the car. Jiale said, "Wife, let's have another child. We won't let you have any more children if they're older. You're still young, so let's have another one!" Fu Zhaoxia said, "Yes." Jiale was so happy that he took out a water cup, unscrewed the lid, and handed it to his wife, saying, "Drink some water." He also took out some bread, and said, "Wife, have some. Take care of yourself first. Get ready!" Jiale's words made Fu Zhaoxia blush. Besides the driver, there were only the two of them in the car. The front seat was filled with things. The trunk was also filled with things given by Old Lady Li. They sat in the back seat.

The two of them were thinking about having children, and the driver thought to himself, "I'm still single, please be understanding of me being alone!" "Master, help me find a wife too!" Jiale: "Okay! How old are you, bro?" The driver said, "I'm twenty." Jiale: "Not too old, okay, talk to me about what kind of woman you like." The driver thought to himself that he was already twenty and not too old. You're holding your wife in your arms, and your words are so irritating. The driver said, "As long as she's pretty, it's fine." Jiale: "Would you be willing to find you an older, pretty woman?" The driver said, "Forget it, I'm not looking for a woman. I'm not looking for a woman." "You said pretty, but you didn't specify the age. Just say sixteen or seventeen, a pretty girl. There's a range, so it's easier to help you find one. We have some in our village, I'll show you." The driver said, "Okay, I'll take a look first." ...

The people chatted along the way and soon arrived at an inn. Jiale said, "Stay here tonight." He didn't take anything from the car, as it was under supervision. After a rest, he would be home.

"Okay, I'm a little sleepy after a night of sleep."

Three days later, the entire village returned to Taohua Village. Seeing the village gate from afar, everyone exclaimed in delight, "How quick! We're back in just over three days!" "I'll go to Beijing to see my son next year. Having a car is fast and convenient." Sun Gui said, "Go home and get a good night's sleep. After a good rest, we'll prepare for spring planting." "Okay, it's right to listen to the village chief." Everyone laughed and gathered their belongings and headed home. The car stopped at the Chai family warehouse, unloaded, and Wang Min and Jiahe busied themselves with registering the crops. Fu Zhaoxia and Jiale were all working. The sisters-in-law got along well.

...unload the truck, take a day's rest, then fill the truck again and return to the capital.
