Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around

Chapter 45: Old 4 returns home, unable to forget the beauty's kindness

The horses were trotting back, as if they knew they were almost home. The fourth brother and Sun Quan were not tired and were chatting. The fourth brother said, "Quan, let's go learn martial arts from Li Biaotou. Martial arts can save your life on the battlefield, and you can kill more enemies and gain military merit." "Okay, I'll go back and talk to my dad and ask Li Biaotou to teach us. Let everyone in our village learn, to protect themselves and strengthen their bodies." It was almost midnight, and they were home. Sun Quan got off the car first, "I'm going home." "Let's go." The fourth brother drove the car.

A few minutes later, a "hush" sounded as the carriage stopped and a knock was made on the door. A moment later, who was there? "Mom, Lao Si, I'm back!" Old Lady Li quickly opened the door, and Lao Si entered, leading the horse. "Mom, we're all home." "Good, good to be back." The doctor followed, and Ma Hua was already home. Old Lady Li quickly boiled some water. "Mom, I'll have dinner and then take a bath." Lao Si ran back to his room to check on his wife and daughter. When his wife woke up, Ru said, "Everything went well, good, have a safe trip." Ru got up to find Lao Si a change of clothes and washed them first. Lao Si took the clothes and went to wash. Ru took out a bag of milk and put it on the fire to warm it. Lao Si went to bring the horse feed and water. "Eat, horse, eat more, drink some water, and then go to sleep." Lao Si stroked the horse's head and face, rubbed its fur, and let it rest. He brought some hay and spread it on the ground, and soon he was sleeping there. He blocked the stable so it wouldn't be too cold. After that, Lao Si went to take a bath.

After taking a shower, the fourth brother put on clean clothes and ran back to the house, crawling into the bed. Li Ru gave him milk, "Drink it," and added some firewood to the kang. The fourth brother said, "Home is still the best, it's warm. Wife, children, warm kang, so good." Haha! "Keep your voice down." "You've lost weight again." Touching his bones. Ru muttered softly, "You look so ugly because you're so thin." Hmm! The fourth brother heard it, touched himself and jumped out of the quilt, looked in the mirror, and thought he was ugly, dark and thin. "I'll eat tomorrow. Let my daughter bring me some face cream. I can't let my wife think I look ugly. I have to pay attention to my appearance and sleep with my wife." He pulled Li Ru onto the kang, kissed her, and slept with her in his arms. Mei Ao

At daybreak, the little milk bag woke up. He didn’t see his mother, so he stretched out his little hands and tugged, ah! Daddy, slap, slap, patted Daddy’s face and shouted, “Daddy” The little milk bag was almost six months old. He pulled the quilt and climbed up to the fourth child with a pout, “Kiss Daddy”. The fourth child was woken up by the kiss. The fourth child held the little milk bag with both hands and said, “Now you have grown up, do you still recognize Daddy?” “Daddy” I have become thinner and darker. I want Daddy to be beautiful! Well, Daddy will go wash his face and wash it white. “Baby, do you have something for Daddy to touch your face?” The fourth child whispered. “Yes, Daddy”, the little milk bag stretched out his hand and showed a bottle of fragrance, “For Daddy to touch his face.” “Okay, let your grandma make Daddy some beautiful clothes. Daddy will look prettier and more handsome. He can match my girl.” “Yeah, Daddy is handsome”! Ru dressed her daughter, and the fourth child also dressed himself. He picked up his daughter and ran around the house. Then he stood at the window and looked out, "Baby, look at our house. It's big, right? There is a new house on the east side. There is a room for you, and a suite for you to study." "Daddy is so nice."

Old Lady Li arrived with the meal, and the fourth child quickly opened the door. "Ru, it's time to eat." "Thank you, Mom." "I can go cook now." "No, it's cold outside. Wait until it's warmer, then you can go out and eat." Old Lady Li placed the meal on the table and picked up Guoguo. "There's more in the kitchen, fourth child. You can eat too. I'll hold the child." "Okay," said the fourth child. He had lost weight, and Old Lady Li, feeling sorry for her son, got up early to cook.

Soon, the two wives also got up. Together they cooked, steaming steamed buns and making millet porridge with carrots and spinach. They also fried potatoes and pickled a sweet and sour white radish, which was sour and sweet. At daybreak, the whole family was up and divided into two tables. The men ate breakfast in the safe room, while the women ate in the fourth room. The children were all there. Little Fatty Chai Ye had grown up a bit and put on his clothes, a new red shirt made for the New Year, black pants, and a big red woolen hat. Huanhuan, Hengheng, and the three children looked the same, like triplets. The little milk bags also had little red hats on their heads. All four children looked the same, and in fact, Wangwang and Mumu also had big red hats. I got up early and steamed egg custard for the children. Hengheng and Ye'er still had to be fed. Zhang Baohua and Old Lady Li fed them.

The men ate quickly, and the doctor ate with relish, as if he had never eaten before. It was so delicious. He had suffered a lot and lost weight in the past month, and the fourth brother was also as thin as a skeleton.

The New Year had passed, and the fifteenth day of the first lunar month had passed. It was time to prepare for spring work. The land was cleared and plowed, and the larger plots were plowed with oxen. Chai Zhen asked Lao Si to call the village chief to discuss spring arrangements. Jia Xing went to call Chai Xin and Chai Dong. Jia He cleared the house and took the dishes to the kitchen, wiped the table, and swept the floor. He added wood to the fire, and the house became warm. Old Lady Li brought in tea. The men chatted about the work they would do in spring...

The women in the west room were chatting, saying it was time to find the shoes and clothes for spring, hang them out to dry, mend them if needed, and make spring shoes and clothes. Spring plowing would start soon.
