Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around

Chapter 458 Returning from the East China Sea

The convoy arrived at Pingjin Prefecture, where Captain Li and Ye Heng separated. The convoy was to haul coal, and Ye Heng assigned the task, "Take some salt and deliver it to General Ma at the border crossing of Yongqing Prefecture in the southwest!" Ye Heng gave Captain Li a ten thousand tael silver note and said, "Leave some for your family, and take less for yourself for the journey." Captain Li said, "Okay." Guoguo said, "After this trip, haul the coal to the capital or to the prefectures and counties." Captain Li said, "Okay, I'll remember that. Goodbye!" Ye Heng said, "Yes."

The Demon Lord drove until nightfall, and they stopped halfway, and Guoguo put away the fruit. The three of them walked. Guoguo: "Enjoy the moon." Ye Heng supported Guoguo, and the Demon Lord looked at the crops along the road. "The crops are growing well, it seems the people in this place are living well." Ye Heng: "About the same."

Guo Guo: "If you want to know how the people are doing, let's go to the county tomorrow and see for ourselves." Mo Zun: "Okay." The three of them agreed not to rush on their journey. The three of them entered the space to eat, rest, and have fun.

The Demon Lord looked at the treasures scattered across the floor. He drank tea and ate fruit, watching the children busy and laughing. Ye Heng said, "Why don't you help? You don't want to!" The Demon Lord chuckled. "Yes, yes." He wanted to bring something for Yang Yang and the children. "If you want, then work." "Yes, yes." Guo Guo rested on the recliner.

Ye Heng took Xiao Shunzi to the foot of the mountain and arranged the red diamonds into a beautiful mountain for viewing. He took a few smaller pieces home to make jewelry for the children. Red diamonds are simply beautiful, blood-red, gleaming and dazzling!

Ye Heng placed the cut red diamond scraps on the table. Guo Guo saw that there were quite a few, enough to make a lot of jewelry.

Huang Bao and his younger brothers and sisters opened the clams and took out many pearls. Several children chattered. Ye Heng was collecting other things on the side. Ye Heng was dazzled by the things in front of him. The Demon Lord laughed and said, "We have made a fortune. These are enough for us to eat for several lifetimes!" Ye Heng was also surprised! "I didn't know there were so many things under the sea!" The Demon Lord: "That's right. Ordinary people really can't reach the bottom of the sea." Xiao Yueyue: "Ah! Ah!!! This shell is so big that I can't even occupy it even if I lie here. I will live here from now on, and no one can snatch it from me."

Guoguo looked over and said with a smile, "Sure. My Yueyue lives in a shell. What about you, Xiao Yangyang?" Xiao Yangyang: "I won't live there. I want to live in the house with my mom and lie on the big bed." Xingxing: "Actually, it doesn't matter where you live. As long as you put on a thick quilt, it will be just as comfortable. Hehe, I want to try what it feels like to lie in a shell!"

Chenchen: "Let mom make delicious shellfish."

The three little kids discussed it and decided to go find some big shells. They were so big they had to lift them to move. They found three big ones, cleaned them, and carried them under the eaves, arranging them neatly. After cleaning everything inside, they spread out their blankets and each of them lay down. Soon, they all fell asleep. Guoguo brought a small blanket over them. "Hehe! Go to sleep!"

Yueyue also put Shell and her brother together, spread the quilt, took out a small quilt to cover herself and went to sleep. Huangbao: "Xiao Yangyang, why don't you go to bed?" Xiao Yangyang: "I won't go, I want to find my mother."

Huang Bao: "I'll find you a big shell, too. There's room for you too." Little Yangyang: "Okay." He said he wouldn't go, but when he saw his younger siblings lying in one, his heart was moved. He found a large, beautiful shell. He rinsed it with water, dried it, and moved it to his younger siblings' side, laying it down in a row. He got a blanket, spread it out, and tried lying down. It felt good, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep in no time.

Guoguo laughed out loud. Only the three eldest sons were still busy, and they were all money-grubbers.

Ye Heng, the Demon Lord, kept busy, cleaning the jade and agate and placing them in boxes. "Too many, not enough boxes." The Demon Lord said, "We have baskets. You can put them in there too." "Yeah. They haven't been processed yet, so it doesn't matter where you put them. We have quite a few night-shining pearls." The Demon Lord placed them in the distance for illumination. Ye Heng said, "Put a few here. The rest are all in the cloth bag. They're blinding!"

"Alright." The Demon Lord used his Qinggong to hang a few night-shining pearls on a distant tree, illuminating the space beyond. "It looks beautiful. Very bright!"

Ye Heng looked into the distance, and it was just like that. Shining light.

Hundreds of baskets of jade and agate were piled up together, carried by two men. More than a dozen bags of night-shining pearls were also piled up.

Guoguo looked at it and said, "There's no point in keeping any more, but it's better than nothing."

Guoguo took out half a bag of night pearls and said that when he got home, he would use the night pearls to light up the house without turning on the lights.

Ye Heng chuckled, "Okay. If we can't finish it tonight, let's rest first and do it tomorrow." Ye Heng called the three children away to take a bath and go to bed. The Demon Lord looked at him and went to take a bath and go to bed as well.

A good night's sleep. After a good night's sleep and a good meal, it was still dark. The children also wanted to go out to play, so they all went out and walked to the county. Chatting and laughing, they soon arrived at the county town. Ye Heng said: "It looks lively!"

Guoguo: "Well, the crops have been abundant along the way."

Ye Heng asked several local people and learned that the officials were okay and no one criticized them.

Ye Heng saw yamen runners roaming the streets maintaining law and order, but there was no beating or scolding.

At night, they found a deserted place and Guoguo took out a plane. The children all wanted to fly, so Ye Heng took them back to the capital. The Demon Lord had no choice but to fly as well. He wanted to stay in the space, but Ye Heng wouldn't let him. Guoguo, Wang Min, and the three little ones played in the space.

Guoguo found some cotton cloth and made clothes for the child—a quilted jacket. Autumn had arrived, and winter was approaching. Wang Min helped Guoguo make the jacket. Guoguo: "Wear some thick cotton. If you don't want a quilted jacket, buy some clothes and make your own." Wang Min: "Well, cotton clothes are essential for keeping warm in the winter. Auntie still remembers sending cotton home a few days after you were born, so your brother could wear a quilted jacket and avoid the cold." Wang Min recalled the cold winters when her children were young, when they all got frostbite. The children suffered. Tears welled up. "Auntie, it's all over. We're better now!" "Yes, we're better now, but I still think of Huanhuan and Hengheng. They had such a hard time when they were little! They'd eat so much that the children would get stomachaches. I remember it in my heart and can't forget it." "Children are the apple of their eye! I understand your helplessness and pain..." Her past life was still vivid in her mind, as if it happened yesterday, but she just tried not to think about it! The setbacks, the hardships, the loneliness, the helplessness her body endured, would wake her up in a startle every time she thought about it! Her heart still trembled, but Guoguo knew it was Ye Heng who was holding her, warming her, comforting her, soothing her wounds, and slowly warming her heart and body! Guoguo didn't want to think about it anymore, so she stood up and went to boil water to make tea.

The plane flew north, the children, undisturbed by the laughter, watching the sky flash by, white clouds swirling, the stars just visible. The plane was speeding, and outside the plane, a red light flickered. Below, a nighttime figure in black, seeing the flashing red light in the sky, crouched on the ground in fear, not daring to move until the light disappeared. Then, quickly, they found shelter. Never again would they dare walk at night, let alone do anything bad! They turned over a new leaf.

A few hours later, they arrived outside Beijing. Daybreak was just around the corner. Ye Heng lowered the plane and brought it to a steady stop. Everyone disembarked, and Guo Guo packed up and took out the carriage. The children were happy, but they refused to enter the space. Ye Heng said, "Let's eat something before we go." Guo Guo replied, "Okay." They brought out a bunch of steamed buns and pork rib soup, and everyone ate. They sat down, of course, on mats. It was like a picnic.

Ye Heng was tired after flying all night, so he lay down in the carriage and fell asleep. The children sat inside. The Demon Lord drove the carriage to the capital.

Chai En and his friends played in the East China Sea for a few days and then returned with the convoy.

Guoguo returned home and went to her room to rest because she was tired. The children also went to bed because they had not slept all night.

Old lady Li looked at it and said, "It's suffering." Wang Min was not sleepy and followed Old lady Li to do housework.

Books, paintings and helping with cooking.

Guoguo Yeheng slept until mid-afternoon before waking up and waking the children up for dinner.
