Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around

In the greenhouse, Old Lady Li and Fu Zhaoxia brought their little son. There were several other women waiting on the side, serving tea and water, helping to look after the children, and doing odd jobs. Old Lady Li was very busy, making clothes for the children. Old Lady Li sighed, "No more, Huanhuan, I can't make clothes for Hengheng anymore." Fu Zhaoxia said, "Mom, we should do what we can, and don't worry about what we can't do. I can only make clothes for myself as a daughter-in-law. Jiaxing often goes out, and he can wear the clothes I make in his hometown. When I came to the capital, I only wore the clothes I made inside, and the clothes I wore outside were made by the embroiderer in our house. I was also very depressed." Old Lady Li: "Well, the clothes here are different from those in my hometown. Now people wear good fabrics, which I have never seen before. I usually make clothes for your father to wear, and he changes into clothes made by our embroiderer when he goes out. I can't wear the clothes I make outside! Oh, there have been too many changes." Fu Zhaoxia: "Yeah. Yes! The people you meet have changed, and the clothes you wear are also changing." Old Lady Li: "You are a well-educated lady, my son

"I'm marrying above your station." "Mom, don't say that." With a shy smile, she whispered, "I was the one who pursued Jiale." Old Mrs. Li laughed, "It's nothing, as long as you two are doing well now. Mom doesn't have much to say. I think Jiale really likes you!" Fu Zhaoxia: "Yes, he treats me very well, and I'm very happy. Mom treats me well, Dad treats me well, and Great-Grandpa treats me well too. Anyway, everyone in the family treats me well, and I'm very happy to be married into the Chai family."

Old Lady Li: "Well, we have a big family, but they are all good children. Without the concubines of other families to bother us, there are fewer troubles." "Yes."

Zhang Baohua came back and said, "Zhaoxia, Mom is here." Old Mrs. Li said, "Sit down and drink some water. Eat some fruit and rest for a while." Zhang Baohua sighed, "I'm not really tired, I'm just worried a lot."

Grandma Li: "My daughter-in-law, you are not an ordinary person! You came from the countryside, learned to read and write, and can manage a shop and do accounting. My daughters-in-law are all great." Grandma Li turned to Zhaoxia and said, "When the child grows up, just tell me what you want to do, and I will support you." Fu Zhaoxia: "Yes. Thank you, mother. I also learned to manage the family shop at my mother's house. We still have my shop in the capital, and someone is taking care of it for me. I haven't been there for a long time." Grandma Li: "When the child is a little older, leave the child with me to help you take care of him, and you can go and do your own things." "Yes." Fu Zhaoxia was so happy. It's better to be here. With someone to help take care of the child, she feels much more relaxed. At home, she also cooks, but here, she doesn't have to do anything and is well served. Her mother-in-law is kind, generous and kind.

Zhang Baohua: "Mom, please bring the food here." "Okay."

The servants set the food on the table. Chai Ping'an was called in. Old Lady Li kept nagging, "Wash your hands before eating. Don't work too hard every day." Chai Ping'an replied, "Well, I'll go to the stables this afternoon and walk around the mansion. I won't be working. I heard Guoguo say they're going to build a large garden, a lake, pavilions, and towers in the mansion!" Old Lady Li replied, "That's just to give you a good life! You're busier than you are at home." Chai Ping'an chuckled, "When I see the land, I want to touch it. The land is a treasure! Whatever you sow will grow, and it will never let you down." [Classic. The simplest words of an old farmer.]

Old Lady Li: "Eat, and if you want to do something, tell others to help you." Chai Ping'an: "Yes, I know. The guards in the mansion are very good, and anyone who sees it will help me."

……

After waking up from his nap, Chai Ping'an didn't really work. He just went to feed the cows and horses. He added hay and brushed the horses' fur, with the guards helping him. He also nailed the horses' shoes. The guards asked, "Master, your family is rich, why are you still working so hard?" Chai Ping'an said, "I'm used to working, so I can't sit still."

Guard: "Hello, old man! I just see that your mansion is peaceful and there is no noise. I am willing to stay here and I will be happy even if I don't get promoted." Chai Ping'an smiled, "As long as you are happy. Common people just want to have food and clothes to live happily! Asking for too much will only make things worse!" Guard: "Yes, that's true. I am an orphan. I grew up begging for food. Later, when I finally grew up, I was captured and forced to serve in the army. Fortunately, I met the prince and have a happy life today." Chai Ping'an looked at the young man and said, "It's not easy for you either! You are not young anymore, have you got married yet?" The guard scratched his head, "Hey, I don't even have a house, how can I get married!" Chai Ping'an: "You are rich." The guard smiled: "Yes, I have saved a lot of money. The princess said that if we find someone we like, she will help us get married. But I don't want to, I am fine now." Chai Ping'an: "If you find a girl you like, tell me and I will help you get married and help you start a family." Guard: "Yes." The two of them did not stop working. After feeding the horses and cows. The two of them walked around the mansion together.

Arriving at the edge of the field, Chai Ping'an saw that the wheat seedlings were growing well. "This year will be another bumper harvest!" As the two were talking, they saw someone carrying manure water to ferment it and piling up a large manure pile. Chai Ping'an said: "It's time to water the land. The weather is getting warmer and the wheat seedlings should grow taller quickly!" The guard said: "I will find someone to water the land tomorrow and bring in water from the river outside." Chai Ping'an: "Okay, tomorrow."

Chai Ping'an walked around the mansion for a long time but still couldn't find everything. The guard said: "Old man, I walk around the mansion every day. It is indeed very big, almost the same size as the prince's mansion." Chai Ping'an: "Really?" The guard said: "Yes. I often go to these two mansions. It's just that the prince's mansion is deserted. Most of the people are men. There are no young girls. It's mostly men. The women are just a few old maids and old women."

Chai Pingan said with a clear mind that Fengxing never returned to the palace, and lived and ate here, so the palace seemed empty. What Chai Pingan didn't know was that there were state secrets there, and there were guards in the open and many secret guards guarding it day and night!

It’s just that Ye Heng usually lives here and goes back often.

It was almost evening, and someone came to ask Chai Ping'an to go back for dinner. Many areas of the mansion were as bright as day, illuminated by solar-powered lights. The secret guards had nowhere to hide, so Guo Guo withdrew them and installed many electronic eyes in the dark. A special room housed several computers that monitored the entire mansion, and the secret guards sat there, taking turns watching the screens. It saved a lot of manpower and effort.

In Chai Mansion, Guoguo installed a wind turbine, and there were electric lights in every yard. Some of the lights were on, while others were off. However, the lights on the streets were also on, which was no different from modern times.

Chai Zhen sometimes watches TV in front of the computer. Guoguo downloaded it for him. He watches it in his room and drinks tea leisurely. Chai Zhen misses his wife and takes out the photo album to look at his wife and daughter. They are his treasures. His wife is so pretty! His daughter is pretty too. Yan'er sees the light on in Chai Zhen's room and shouts, "Daddy, you're not asleep yet!" Chai Zhen: "Well, Yan'er, come in! Come and see your mother!" Yan'er has never seen these before and said in surprise, "When did these come from? I can't even draw them!" Chai Zhen feels guilty: "They were taken at the place where Xiaochen and the others go to school. Look for yourself. Don't tell anyone outside. Daddy is looking at them himself and asked you to come in and have a look." Yan'er: "Well, I know. Guoguo has a thing called a camera. I have photos of it too." Yan'er went to get her own photos and showed them to Chai Zhen. "My daughter is so pretty." Yan'er: "This is the photo Guoguo took of me. I draw in my free time, but nothing like this!" Chai Zhen: "Well, you can't learn it. This was taken with a camera. "Yan'er: "I can draw likenesses now. The teacher praised me." Chai Zhen: "Yes, my daughter must be good. She is beautiful, kind-hearted, and talented." Yan'er nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes." Chai Zhen: "You will be the mother of the country in the future. You must learn from the queen." "Yes, I know, father." Chai Zhen: "Go ahead. Go to bed early and get up early."

The father and son chatted and looked at the album. Yan'er returned to her room holding her own portrait.

Chai Zhen lay down to sleep. He was seventy years old and in good health, but he couldn't work as hard as a young man. He went to bed early.
