Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around
Chapter 354: Li Biaotou Returns
That evening, Li Biaotou and his convoy arrived. Guoguo saw them and said, "Come in quickly, butler?" Two second stewards came and said, "Master, what are your orders?" Guoguo: "Go to the kitchen to boil water and cook. Someone is coming to the house." Jiaxing just came back and said, "Guoguo, let everyone go to the hotel to wash up and change into clean clothes before eating." Guoguo: "Okay, there is no large bathing pool at home." Guoguo decided straightforwardly: "Uncle Li, everyone has worked hard on the journey. Let the guards at home feed the horses." A team of guards drove the carriage into the backyard to unload the carriage and feed the horses. The second steward followed closely behind, and the things on the carriage were to be unloaded into the warehouse. Jiaxing said, "I remember it clearly." The second steward: "Don't worry, Second Master."
Li Biaotou and the others went to the hotel, and Guoguo cooked at home. "Come back for dinner after you've washed up," Guoguo said. Li Biaotou: Okay.
Guoguo: "This journey is too tiring and hard."
Ye Heng spent day and night arranging matters before departure. Li Biaotou and his men washed up and returned to the mansion for dinner, all in the dining room. Li Biaotou said, "Finally, we're back! Brothers, have you had your fill?" "Got it." The second steward had more fruit delivered and stood outside the door waiting.
Guoguo followed and said, "Everyone has eaten." Qin came over and said, "Master, where will this group of people be accommodated?" Guoguo said, "In the dormitory behind the mansion, find a quiet house, clean it up, and it will be their residence from now on. Don't arrange for anyone else to live there." Qin: "Okay, I understand. I will do it right away."
After everyone finished eating, Guoguo said, "Uncle Li will take everyone to rest and have a good sleep." Li Biaotou: "Yes. Everyone's exhausted from this trip. Let's take a bath and feel refreshed. After eating and drinking, we'll go to bed." Guoguo: "Yes. Shu, Hua, bring the kettle and teacups and send them over." Shu and Hua: "Yes, master." Guoguo added: "Bring new clothes, two sets for each person." Hua took up the task: "Yes, master." The group left one after another. The water room was still heating hot water for everyone. The greenhouse also had hot water, but it was fine for washing if it was turned off, but it was not suitable for drinking.
Guoguo looked at the pitch-black courtyard. She thought about installing some lights. She mused, "Let's buy a windmill!" Back inside, Ye Heng was still in his study. Guoguo walked in and said, "Brother Ye, it's time to rest." Ye Heng: "I'll be there soon." Guoguo sat and waited, wondering what she had to do. Spring planting was about to begin, and if she left, who would look after her land? ...
It was almost midnight. Guoguo and Yeheng locked the door, went to the space, left the space, and drove to the seaside. Guoguo summoned Huangbao in. Huangbao: "Mother, I have been waiting for you for a long time. You are so late!" Yeheng: "Daddy is very busy. I am sorry for making Huangbao worry."
In the distance, a small black dot appeared, getting closer and closer. Guoguo: "Xiao Shunzi, come out and scan it." Xiao Shunzi: "Yes." Xiao Shunzi's eyes emitted a ray of light, sweeping across the sea, and said, "Master, a large ship, with a small number of people. It also has five submarines, lurking under the surface, heading towards us." Guoguo: "Go back to the space and keep an eye on these people." Xiao Shunzi: "Yes, master. Master, they are all carrying guns and daggers." Guoguo: "I know. Keep a close eye on them, and if you find them taking action, stop them." Xiao Shunzi: "Okay."
Soon the ship docked, and a man came down from it and asked, "Who is Huang Bao?" Ye Heng hugged his son and said, "I am Huang Bao!" The man said, "You are not." Huang Bao opened his mouth and said, "I am Huang Bao." The man said, "I have been ordered by the general to deliver five submarines to Huang Bao. I will pay you and you will receive them." Huang Bao said, "Submarines, come closer. Let me take a look." The man said, "Okay, have the submarines surface." Someone said, "Yes." Five submarines surfaced. Huang Bao asked, "Can I learn how to operate them?"
"Sure. Go up!" Ye Heng carried his son up, Guoguo following. The man said, "You can't go up." Huangbao said, "That's my mother." The man said, "Go up. You're the whole family, it's interesting." Ye Heng watched the ship rise and fall, move forward and backward. Huangbao remembered things the fastest, like a computer! Ye Heng was also a quick learner. He asked questions like where to refuel. The man explained the operation and maintenance very attentively. Huangbao said, "You're very dedicated. I'm very satisfied. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation!" The three of them went ashore, and Guoguo took the box from the car. Ye Heng said, "See if there's enough money?" The man said, "Okay!" It's all gold! Okay! Huangbao said, "Just as we agreed." Ye Heng gave each of them another gold ingot and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Have some tea. I won't treat you to dinner today." The man said, "It's a pleasant cooperation. See you later! Goodbye!" The ship instantly sailed away, disappearing into the vast ocean! Guoguo stored the supplies in the spaceship. Ye Heng said, "Let's go back." The three of them got in the car and headed back to the villa. They went to the space to look at the submarine. Ye Heng: "Huang Bao, how much did it cost?" Huang Bao chuckled, "I spent a lot of money. Fifty thousand taels of gold!" Ye Heng sighed, "No big deal." "Daddy doesn't blame you." Guo Guo: "We can't make it. We can only buy it. Let's try it in the water." Ye Heng: Okay. Xiao Shunzi helped get it into the water, and the three of them got into the cabin. Ye Heng started to drive it on the surface. Huang Bao: "Daddy drives well!" "You little brat is teasing your daddy." It rose and fell, moved forward and backward. Guo Guo: "Let's go a little deeper and try?" Ye Heng nodded. The chart showed that it was fifty meters underwater. Guo Guo: "There's no need to go that deep. It's fine as long as it can't be seen from the surface." Ye Heng: "Let's try it." The submarine rose. At thirty meters, it could no longer be seen from the surface. Ye Heng raised the submarine again, to twenty meters. Xiao Shunzi: "Just right." Ye Heng: "From now on, just stay 20 meters underwater when you're at sea." Huang Bao: "Daddy, let's go back. I need to go back to sleep." Guo Guo: "Okay. Let's go back. I'll sleep here tonight."
The three of them took a bath, slept and drank enough in the space before Huang Bao went back.
It was a rare moment for Ye Heng and Guo Guo to spend time together. Ye Heng called out affectionately, "Guo Guo!" His voice stretched out, his voice thick with lust. Guo Guo's body softened at Ye Heng's call, and Ye Heng kissed her, gradually deepening the kiss. When their passion reached its peak, it was unstoppable, and the two of them rolled onto the bed. [10,000 words omitted here.]
A long time later, the two of them took a bath in the swimming pool. They took another nap before leaving the space. The sky outside was just beginning to brighten!
Ye Heng ate and drank his fill, then rode away on horseback. Guo Guo, disturbed by Ye Heng, forgot to buy anything. She returned to the space to look for her son. If she was a little slow in shopping, her son would be quick! She drove to Beijing to find her son. Huang Bao woke up when he saw his mother in a daze. Guo Guo picked up her son and dressed him. She said, "I forgot to buy anything last night."
Huangbao's soft, milky voice rang out, "What does Mom want to buy?" Guoguo: "Cars, trucks for transporting goods, diesel, gasoline. And military fabrics." Huangbao made a phone call and quickly said, "It will be delivered here in an hour." Guoguo: "Deliver it to our villa in Tianjin." Huangbao: "Okay, I'll just send them the address." Guoguo: "Then Mom will go back. Remember to eat well." Huangbao nodded. Guoguo looked at her son and said, "After I'm done with this busy period, Mom will come to stay with you for a few days." Huangbao: "Yeah, yeah." Happy, good.
Guoguo left and drove back to Tianjin.
Upon arriving in Tianjin, a fleet of heavily covered green vehicles approached. A man got out and said, "Madam, this is the cargo you requested." Guoguo: "Come on in. Guoguo, open the door." The cars drove in one after another. The man got out and said, "This villa is quite large!" Guoguo: "Yes. Please help unload the truck." A soldier: "Okay," shouting, "Everyone, unload quickly." "Yes." Ten minutes later, Guoguo checked the cargo and found everything she had requested. She said, "Come in for some tea!" "No, we'll leave once the cargo is delivered. Goodbye." The convoy slowly drove out. Guoguo watched as the cars sped up and quickly disappeared. "What a pace!" Guoguo thought to herself, "Modern soldiers are so tough!" Guoguo didn't pay, thinking it was Huangbao who had paid! She locked the door and activated the safety device! She then checked the cargo on the ground. Gasoline, diesel, quite a bit. Military uniform fabric, Guoguo unpacked it and touched it. Not bad! Guoguo counted the tents she'd bought in her space. One thousand. She also had canvas for covering the car. She had ropes in her own warehouse. Guoguo also bought a large quantity of medicine: Yunnan Baiyao for hemostasis, amoxicillin for inflammation, fever-reducing and pain-relieving medication, and iodine and alcohol for disinfection, but they wouldn't arrive until tomorrow.
Guoguo moved the things in the yard into the space, and then returned to his outer room.
Ye Heng wasn't in the study. She went to the main hall and saw the whole family was there. Old Lady Li said, "Come sit here with Grandma. You've lost weight." Guo Guo said, "You look better when you're thinner. You don't need to lose weight."
Chai Zhen: "Guoguo, there are many children in our house. Take a look, what do you need them to do?" Guoguo: "When did they come?" Chai Zhen: "Just arrived. I asked them to go wash up and have dinner." Guoguo: "Let them sleep first." "Yes." Old Lady Li: "I've seen those children. Some of them are too young." Guoguo: "Well, let them stay at home and play and talk with grandma." Old Lady Li: "No need." Guoguo: "Let them wait for two days. Qin will prepare daily toiletries and clothes for those children and give each of them two sets of replacements." Qin: "Yes. I'll do it right away and arrange accommodation."
Guoguo: "Go ahead, I'm confident in your work." Qin was happy to hear that! The master trusted her and praised her! Qin walked with the wind. Guoguo smiled at Qin's back. Fu Zhaoxia: "Mom, I want to go back. Jiale is also anxious to go home, he is very busy." Old Lady Li: "Don't worry. You can't do much when you go home because of your child. Stay here for a while." Fu Zhaoxiao: "Okay." Old Lady Li: "If you are not used to the food, I will ask someone to build a small kitchen for you. We have a chef at home, so you can cook for yourself." Fu Zhaoxia: "That's not necessary. The food in the mansion is delicious." Old Lady Li: "If you don't want to eat something, just tell the kitchen and they will make it for you. Don't restrain yourself. This is your own home!" Fu Zhaoxiao "I know, mother." Guoguo: "I've given you two people to help you. If that doesn't work, we'll change them and see in a couple of days. You can choose the available workers yourself." Old Lady Li: "You have to choose people to help you with the work. Now that you have the conditions, you can relax a little." Zhang Baohua: "Yes, one person can't do much. Mother, I don't need it if I have people." Old Lady Li: "Okay. The servants will wash the clothes and someone will clean the house. If you don't want it, then don't. Zhaoxia will find two people to help you look after the children. It's too tiring for you to do it alone." Guoguo: "We have a cart at home that can be pushed."
Yan'er came in, and Granny Li said: "Come and sit down." You must be tired from studying! Yan'er: "Not bad." Guoguo looked at her, stood up, and said, "Grandma, I have something to do," and went out. Granny Li: "Okay. Go ahead, remember to eat." "Okay." Guoguo only remembered that she had something else to do when she saw Yan'er.
Guoguo took the books and paintings and walked to the Li residence. "Is the box ready?" she asked. "I'll pack my dowry while I'm home."
At the Li residence, Guoguo saw her aunt and learned that her uncle was in the factory. The three of them caught a carriage and went to the woodworking factory.
Li Dong went out and saw Guo Guo, so he took Guo Guo in. "It's almost done, just finishing it." Guo Guo saw the boxes in the yard, touched them, and polished them until they were smooth. He asked, "How did your uncle do it?" Li Dong said, "I polished them smooth with sandstone. Guo Guo thought that even if it's slow, it can still be done. Modern people also use grinding stones and sandpaper, but electric belts are faster."
Thinking of electricity, Guoguo thought of wind power and said, "Uncle, can I use a pen and paper?" Li Dong: Sure. Guoguo quickly drew a blueprint and showed it to Li Dong, saying, "This is a windmill. See if Uncle can make it. The wind creates a strong airflow, which can generate electricity. We can use electricity for lighting." Li Dong looked at the blueprint and said, "I'll try." Guoguo: Okay, I'll wait for Uncle to finish it and bring it home. Uncle is making some small boxes to store jewelry and the like. Li Dong: Sure.
In the courtyard, the finished boxes were loaded onto carts. Li Dong had them delivered to the Chai residence. Guoguo rode away. All the way, she thought, these boxes were all bright red, lacking the vibrant colors of modern times, their hues drab. "Ah," she sighed. Shu asked, "Princess, what's wrong with you?" Guoguo said, "Nothing. I'm just looking at the boxes. The red is too bright. It's blinding." Hua said, "All the dowry boxes are this color." Guoguo hummed, but said nothing more.
Guoguo is a man of action, he does what he wants to do. When he returned to the mansion, he went inside. He bought paint, natural wood color paint. He typed "solar lights" into the computer in the mall. "Ah! I'm so happy, there are actually some! Hahahaha!" Guoguo bought twenty solar lights at once. He took the paint and lights out. He found someone to install the solar lights. He installed five lights at the entrance of the main hall in the front yard and in the kitchen. Someone asked, "Master, what are these?" Guoguo smiled mysteriously, "You'll know at night." Hahaha! Guoguo thought about whether to install them at the entrance of the mansion, but decided not to.
Two lights were installed at the entrance of the backyard warehouse, two lights were installed at the entrance of the greenhouse, and five lights were installed inside the greenhouse facing south, where the sun shines during the day.
When Ye Heng returned home at night, he found the courtyard ablaze with light. Many guards and servants milled about, joking, "Great! It's so bright!" "Yeah, it's just like daytime." "No need for candles!" "The master said it's powered by sunlight." "That's possible. Don't you know? Many places have waterwheels. They use the force of water to turn the wheels, releasing water to irrigate the fields!" "The master also said that wind and water power can be used to do a lot of things!" There were many children in the courtyard. The children he brought with him hadn't been arranged yet, so they were resting for the next few days. Seeing the courtyard bright at night was a rare sight! Ye Heng entered and said, "You can even study here. It won't hurt your eyes!" The servants, seeing the prince, bowed and greeted him. "Hello, Your Highness." "Greetings, Your Highness." They knelt all over the courtyard. Ye Heng: "No need!" Ye Heng entered the main hall. It was still not as bright as outside. Even with candles burning, the light was dim. Ye Heng: "It won't work inside. It only works where the sun shines."
Guoguo said, "I'll have my uncle build this windmill and see if it can generate electricity! And then we'll install electric lights in the house." Chai Zhen knew that in modern times, houses are brightly lit at night thanks to electricity, electric lights, and televisions. What a treat! Ye Heng: "In principle, it can generate electricity." Guoguo: Yes.
Ye Heng: "Let's eat. We have things to do tonight." Old Lady Li ordered dinner to be served. Guo Guo pulled a wire from the space and nailed it to the wall. He then installed a light bulb, and the room instantly became bright. This was no stranger to the Chai family.
The second steward arranged for someone to entertain Li Biaotou and his group, as well as the children, and they all had dinner in the restaurant.
, but everything is well organized. No one disturbs the master unless necessary, and everyone does their job. There is a large square in the backyard of Chai Mansion, and Guoguo installed several solar lamps. Now, there are the most people there. There are children reading under the lamps, and people doing boxing. There are all kinds of people. The guards gathered together to talk about trivial matters. The chief guard: "Don't talk nonsense. Those who are patrolling should patrol, and those who don't need to stand guard should go and rest." "Yes, boss." At the end of the hour of Hai, people dispersed to rest.
Many yards don't have solar lights installed, and few have bought them. Lanterns are dim.
