Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around

After three o'clock in the afternoon, the children woke up. Ye Heng prepared tea, snacks, fruits, and three small bags of milk powder, no, five small bags of milk powder.

Five children drinking milk. Hearing the milk bags chuckle, "Gudong gudong, gulp down the milk." Guoguo chuckled, "They're all foodies." Ye Heng smiled. This was his contribution! Raising these children. It seemed ordinary, but this was Ye Heng's greatest happiness!

The Demon Lord came downstairs and said, "I don't need him anymore. He knows how to eat." Yang Yang: "Huh, don't you see how big he is? It's not just a little bit, why does he need you to feed him?" He's one year old! He can talk fluently, walk, and make small movements all the time. But he needs an adult to accompany him. If someone is watching him while he plays, the room will be in chaos after a while.

Guoguo: "Why don't we make a special room for the children to play in." Ye Heng: "Okay. Just on the first floor, clean up a big room." Guoguo said, "Get a balloon, an inflatable cushion, and a slide." Ye Heng: "I've seen it, I'll do it." Ye Heng called Bai Tianyu, and after a while, he bought some things and brought them back to the room. It wasn't an air cushion, but a very thick, soft, anti-fall cushion, more suitable for children. The slide was ready, and the Demon Lord brought the children's toys. When the five little kids came in and saw it, they all climbed up. They were having a lot of fun. They can walk now, but, hehe, they climb fast. After all, they use all four limbs to move. Ye Heng couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he went out and asked the Demon Lord to stay and watch over it. He had to go back to take care of Guoguo and his daughter Minmin.

Guoguo and Minmin were drinking tea and eating fruit on the sofa. Chai Ping'an and Old Lady Li were out strolling around the neighborhood. Chai Zhen and Xia Hua were looking after the younger children. Guoguo said, "Sister Xia Hua has sent the children to the toy house. You don't need to look after them anymore." Xia Hua said, "That's fine."

Xia Hua noticed the floor was covered in thick carpet, so even if a child fell, they wouldn't get hurt. She sent them inside and said, "Go play." Chai Xi: "Yeah, okay." The children slid down the slide one by one. Their laughter carried to the hall outside. Ye Heng: "Children are good. As long as they have food and toys, you don't have to worry about them." Guo Guo: "They still need someone to watch them." "Tianyu is over there."

Li Jingwen came down to drink tea and eat fruit. Ye Heng: "Master Li, when does the class start?" Li Jingwen: "Now." Ye Heng called the five older children over. "It's on the first floor." Huang Bao: "Is the class starting today?" Ye Heng: "Yes. We have one class every afternoon." Huang Bao: "Okay." He called his younger brothers, sisters, and uncle to the classroom. Li Jingwen: "Okay."

In the classroom, "It's nice, the environment is good, there are tables and chairs. Each person has a table." There is also a blackboard and chalk.

Li Jingwen wrote on it, "A day's plan begins in the morning, a year's plan begins in spring."

Simply put, spring is the time to plan for the year. Spring is also the time for planting, which is very important. A day depends on getting up early in the morning to have a good harvest.

Wubao learned it as soon as he was taught. The only thing he could do was write. The child wasn't very proficient, as Li Jingwen used all the characters in a single stroke—the ancient style. Guoguo saw this and thought, "This is one of the reasons Master Li was here." Huangbao had no choice but to take out his brush and start writing. Guoguo saw five children, minus the two eldest daughters. Guoguo went to the toy house and took a look. Haha! "Four Treasures and Five Treasures, your brothers are all studying, why are you two still playing?" Four Treasures and Five Treasures played dumb, "Really? We didn't know." "Come out." Four Treasures and Five Treasures had no choice but to walk out the door and into another room. Hehehe, laugh! Hahaha! Five Treasure couldn't hold it in anymore and laughed out loud. Guoguo knew these two kids were playful. They deserved a beating.

What else does Li Jingwen not know? Just look at his height and you will know that he has been skipping classes.

The children sat on their chairs, looked at the words on the blackboard, and read them out loud. Li Jingwen: "Oh, good! You know them! Write them down. Write them down from memory." Sibao and Wubao: "Okay."

Li Jingwen sat and drank tea, looking very leisurely.

In just one class, the kids all memorized it, and after writing two more large characters, they were ready to leave. The fourth and fifth children were writing the large characters very seriously. Dad said, "You can learn as much as you want. Dad won't judge them, but you must write well!"

Second, third, fourth, and fifth treasures looked at their older brothers practicing calligraphy, and their two uncles struggling with their brushes, inkstones, and paper. Little Five sighed and accepted his fate, then worked hard at writing! Calligraphy doesn't speak volumes! Oh!

In the toy room, the Demon Lord watched the little ones crawling around, not complaining of fatigue. Seeing they'd been playing for too long, he went to the living room, brought back some cups of tea, and called out, "Come and have some water and some fruit! Fruit is all juice! It's delicious, but if you're too slow, it's gone." They chattered and swarmed down the slide. Some called for Daddy, some for Brother-in-law. The Demon Lord said, "Haha, there's juice and tea. Whoever wants a drink, just grab a cup." Liubao and Qibao drank tea because they were thirsty, while Babao drank juice, as she preferred sweet juice. Xiaobaibai got the juice; it was delicious. Bai Anan drank tea. The Demon Lord looked at the brothers and sisters, and they'd flipped the tables. His daughter, Xiaoque, looked like a grown-up girl, while his son, on the other hand, looked more like a girl. However, when his son was serious, he couldn't even smile at himself. That brat had a bad temper that couldn't be easily soothed. He had a terrible temper! The Demon Lord had thought about it many times. Even someone like Yangyang had a bit of a stubborn streak! And a bit of a devil! It was a combination of their bad genes. This is what Yang Yang told him. Their daughter inherited the good qualities of both of them.

The children finished their tea and juice. The Demon Lord said, "Go pee first, then come back to play." The Demon Lord said this, and the children ran out, covering their little butts. The Demon Lord then helped the children take off their pants. Haha! ...

Guoguo invited the children to sit in the living room. She wanted to teach them something. Guoguo took out the projector and taught them to recognize words by looking at pictures. One, two, three, four, five, both in uppercase and lowercase letters, were also accompanied by pictures.

Five babies, looking at the pictures, are enjoying themselves. They're getting apples to eat. One apple, two apples,... ten apples. Guoguo takes out ten apples and asks the children to count. The Demon Lord watches from the sidelines. This teaching method is great; they learn quickly! Uh-huh! It's all about the little old man eating. When it comes to eating, the child is bright and quick to learn.

Chai Zhen was very happy to see that his son was learning very quickly. At least he was not a fool, so he was doing okay.

Guoguo asked the children to count one by one. "Good, you're all learning quickly. Good. Let's stop here and have fun today." Yangyang began playing the piano, a children's song, "White Dragon Horse," from Journey to the West. The little ones sang along and performed various actions. The adults were delighted to see the children. Old Mrs. Li said, "Our children are all good-looking. If they were on TV, they would definitely win first place!" Chai Ping'an said, "They would definitely win first place." Both of them learned a lot of modern things. Chai Zhen said, "The children are quickly mastering everything they learn."

In the afternoon, Chai Zhen was leaving for a walk in the neighborhood, followed by his five little darlings. Seeing this, Mo Zun also went out to help look after the children. Li Jingwen followed him out.

Chai Ping'an said, "Hongying, let's go for a walk too." Guoguo said, "Go ahead, Grandpa and Grandma. I want to go for a walk too." She called Minmin over, and the mother and daughter went out, arm in arm.

Yang Yang was concentrating on piano practice, playing a foreign piece, "Yesterday Again." The melody was beautiful and captivating, and Yang Yang sang along. One side was in Chinese, the other in English. Even the calligraphy and painting sounded beautiful. They understood the Chinese and hummed along while cooking.

Ye Heng was listening to this song as he walked in, "A wonderful song." Yang Yang: "Dad, you're back." Ye Heng: "Yeah. Yang Yang, I think you should sing. Dad will hold a concert for you and release a record." "I don't really like it, it's okay to play it as a hobby. I'd better work in finance. I like that job. I just need to pass one more subject this year, and there are three years enough for the comprehensive exam. I can go to work this winter." "Isn't it better to stay at home and take care of the children when they are young?" Yang Yang: "It's boring not to go to work. I'm used to going to work." "If you want to go to work, go to your own company to help. Your uncle is abroad, and the company's finance department is in urgent need of financial personnel. Dad is not recruiting, you can report to the company after you take the exam!" "Okay, I'm still good at auditing, no problem." Ye Heng nodded, took off his coat, changed into casual clothes, and went out to find Guoguo and the children.

For dinner, Shuhua and her husband prepared lamb meatball soup with a few cilantro leaves on top, and pumpkin porridge. Other dishes included stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots and braised pork elbow, a family favorite and a frequent dish. They also had candied tomatoes, smashed cucumbers, three braised chickens, and three roast ducks. Since there were so many people, the dishes were plentiful. They also had a cold salad of shredded potatoes and mashed eggplant, stir-fried green beans with meat, spicy tofu, and dried tofu. Dry rations included bean curd, meat buns, flower rolls, white steamed buns, and sauce-flavored pancakes.

The meal was plentiful! There were even some egg custard balls for the kids to eat. All the kids could have some.

The meal was ready and placed on the table, and Shu went out to call everyone home.

As soon as the children heard that the meal was ready, they ran home without being told by the adults.

The Demon Lord followed behind, and Guoguo and Minmin walked back slowly.

Have dinner on time at 6:30 every day.

The family sat together for dinner. Mozun and Yeheng took care of the children first, and both of them ate later. Now, just as they were about to take care of the children, Babao said, "Brother-in-law, Dad, we will eat by ourselves." Yeheng: "Okay, take your time." Babao: "Yeah." Xiaobaibai also said, "Dad, Grandpa will eat by myself." Yeheng: "Okay." Mozun: "Okay, son, you can eat by yourself. I'll just watch you eat." Xiaobaibai rolled her eyes at him and said, "You eat your meal, and I'll eat mine." Bai Anan: "Dad, you eat too, we can all eat by ourselves. Don't let Dad suffer." Mozun: "Yeah, my daughter is still the one who knows how to talk. Okay, you eat slowly!"

Guoguo ate her own; she was hungry. She was pregnant with two children. Ye Heng looked at the children, all eating. Dabao, Erbao, and Sanbao were nibbling on chicken legs, and Sibao and Wubao were doing the same. Ye Heng said, "Each person can only have one chicken leg. Eat less meat at night." The children said, "Yes, I got it, Dad." Li Jingwen sat off to the side, concentrating on his own meal. [It's delicious, so delicious. I remember the Chai family's food was delicious.] The mutton soup was also delicious, and he ate while he ate other things.

Chai Zhen looked at the old man and laughed in his heart. Mrs. Li had become fat in her later years, eating well and working less, and her body had become fatter. Chai Ping'an was still as strong and in good shape, a handsome man!

Minmin didn't eat much, but she felt full and sat down on the sofa. She looked at her belly. She was seven months pregnant. The baby was due in two more months. She'd go for a prenatal checkup tomorrow. Thinking about this, she sent a WeChat message to Li Qin.

Li Qin saw Minmin's WeChat message and replied, "Let mom and dad go together. Take a picture and show me the baby." Minmin: "Yes. You should take care of yourself and eat well." "Okay, I will. We won't make do anymore. The manor will hire a chef to cook for us. The food will be good." Minmin: "Yes. I'm offline now." "Okay. When you're about to give birth, remember to let me know. I'll be back. I want to be with you and welcome our baby together." "Yes. I know. I will definitely let you come back to greet our baby."

Guoguo finished her meal and sat on the sofa. Seeing Minmin busy with her work, she knew she was sending WeChat messages. She was happy to see her daughter and son-in-law have a good relationship.

After dinner, the family gathered in the living room. Ye Heng announced, "Children, school starts the day after tomorrow, so you must rest on time tonight. Tomorrow morning, it's the same old routine: wake up at six and practice martial arts in the community. Go home for dinner at seven, and go to school at seven-thirty. I've told the principal that we'll only have half-day classes from now on. We'll have morning classes at school, go home for lunch, and study at home in the afternoons. Or practice other things." "Okay." "Okay," the children applauded. Huang Bao: "Are we older kids also going to have half-day classes?" "Yes, Dad has agreed with your principal that classes will be scheduled in the mornings. We'll have a test once a week, so we'll have classes that way. You'll have half a day at home to learn about ancient culture." Huang Bao: "Okay. I also want to compete in the Olympics." Ye Heng asked, "When?" Huang Bao: "In two months." "Dad will have a teacher tutor you part-time." Huang Bao: "Sure. Just two months to study." "Have the teacher give you a USB flash drive with the lectures." "Okay. If you don't understand, we'll ask at school. Okay, that's it." Ye Heng had it all done with just one phone call, and of course, he'd pay the teacher a lot of money.

It's just a review of the course. Or computer teaching, children communicating with teachers.

This way, Li Jingwen didn't have to teach in the mornings. The old man was pleased, and every day he and Chai Zhen and Chai Ping'an would wander around the neighborhood and have fun. After six months of exploring Beijing, the Beijing Library became Li Jingwen's regular haunt. Either Mozun or Ye Heng would take him home, and they'd take the subway. After Yang Yang took him a few times, Li Jingwen learned how to do it. Ye Heng went to the trouble of getting him an ID card and a subway card.

Then there are the Forbidden City and the Great Wall. Li Jingwen's footprints are everywhere!
