Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around

Chapter 481: Building a Wooden House and Buying Furniture

Ye Heng arranged for the construction of the houses. "Tianyu, Li Qin, let's build a house now, using trees." Li Qin: "Okay." The three of them went to cut down trees. There were many sturdy sycamore trees growing on the edge of the grassland. Chai Donghua said, "I'll go too." Chai Ping'an: "I can do it, too." More people means faster work. Xiao Shunzi's hands were not ordinary hands; they could emit lasers. He punched out the wooden boards, each one a 60-square-meter log cabin. Soon, three log cabins were built, their roofs covered with wooden planks and waterproofed with tarpaulin.

Guoguo: "Shuhua, you two will live in a wooden house with a bed made of wooden planks." "Okay, Master."

Yeheng and Guoguo shared a larger room, along with their two children. Li Jingwen looked at the other room and said, "I'll live in the wooden house." Guoguo replied, "The wood's damp, so wait a few days before moving in." Li Jingwen replied, "That's fine."

Huang Bao: "I'm buying a bed." Guo Guo: "No need, Xiao Shunzi, just cut the jade into two two-meter square beds and bring them here." "Okay, master." Soon, a jade bed that was forty-five centimeters high and two meters long and wide was ready. Ye Heng laid out the quilts and mattresses. First put the two children on the bed, covered them with quilts and let them sleep. Chai Donghua: "This bed is nice." Guo Guo: "Donghua, your bed has been made a long time ago, but I just didn't find the time to give it to you. I'll send it to you during the day." Chai Donghua: "What?" Ye Heng: "Several jade beds have been made a long time ago, including yours. Isn't it placed next to it? I haven't sent it to you yet." Chai Donghua chuckled! "Making a bed out of jade, I can't even imagine it!" Guo Guo: "Haven't you noticed the jade mountain on the edge of the grassland? This is just a small part."

Chai Donghua: "Okay, okay, if we sell all of this, we'll be one of the richest men in the world!" Guoguo: "Brother, we won't sell it, we'll use it ourselves." "Okay. If I take it out, it will attract thieves!" Guoguo laughed, "It's okay, I'll take it out to you at your home tomorrow and put it directly in your bedroom. This is warm jade, it warms the body, and it's very good for your health if you use it for a long time." "Okay. I'm used to it."

Guoguo: "Brother, look at the golden light shining in the distance. That is a gold mountain and a diamond mountain. The wealth here will be used by future generations." Chai Donghua bowed solemnly to his elder sister. "Thank you, elder sister. You are so thoughtful." "Yes, I don't want future generations to suffer from poverty." Chai Donghua: "If you don't think about the future, you will worry about the present. You are right to think about it."

"People say that wealth cannot last for more than three generations. I dare not bet on that. I have to do my best to educate my children, study hard and improve their skills, so that they don't rely on others for their lives, and they can support themselves." Chai Donghua: "Well, sister is right, Xuyao, listen, you can't rely on daddy to support you in your old age in the future." "Humph, I found a job. I teach children English. I am an English teacher and I can support myself." "Okay. It's good that you know how to work. Dad supports you." Xuyao: "Humph. My schooling was not in vain. I also have skills."

"Guoguo, it's getting late, you should get some rest." Ye Heng said. Chai Donghua: "Well, I don't know if it's because I eat well, but I feel very healthy and not tired." Guoguo: "Well, the food is all grown with spiritual spring water, the vegetables and fruits are all grown with spiritual spring water, and the tea we drink is also grown with spiritual spring water. How can I not be healthy!" Chai Donghua: "Well, it matters a lot!" Ye Heng: "I'm sure that we can all live to a old age in the future." Chai Donghua: "Just look at dad. It's only been a few days, and he's in good health. He doesn't have Alzheimer's disease anymore. He's normal and healthy. Living to a hundred years old is not a problem." Guoguo: "That's right, Dad doesn't even take medicine. He said he doesn't feel uncomfortable anywhere." Chai Donghua: "Very good." After talking for a while, they all went back to their rooms to rest.

The days here are long, and everyone has had enough sleep. When they go out, they see it's still dark, just after four o'clock. Chai Donghua is full of energy, as if he has endless energy. "Let's go for some exercise." Wang Xiaomin: "Let's go for a walk. Let's go back home and come back tonight." Chai Donghua: "Okay." Ye Heng Demon Lord, a big man, brought a group of children to the community to run and practice martial arts. Chai Donghua saw it and said, "I'll practice with them too." Wang Xiaomin: "Okay, I'll go for a walk."

After practicing martial arts for an hour, the children were all sweating. Ye Heng took the children to take a bath, change clothes, and say goodbye to Chai Donghua.

The three little ones all know how to put on their clothes and go back to the room to change by themselves. Ye Heng takes the clothes they take off to be dry-cleaned and hung out to dry.

Guoguo only looked after the two children, with the help of Grandma Li. Guoguo wasn't tired at all, and she was raising the children well. Grandma Li often made Guoguo lie down and rest. So, like Guoguo, Minmin fell asleep under Li Qin's watch, forced to do so. Li Qin looked after the children.

……

A few days later, Li Qin had to go back to work. Yang Yang and Mo Zun also had to go abroad. Guo Guo packed a lot of things for them, and Huang Bao also donated a bag to hold food, vegetables, and fruits. He filled a water bottle with spiritual spring water and told Mo Zun to carry it on his back at all times. Yang Yang: "I know, little brother." Huang Bao: "Second sister, you're the one who forgets so easily. If you lose it, it's gone. We only have one each." "Don't worry, I have a great memory. I'm not Min Min." Guo Guo and Ye Heng accompanied Mo Zun and his family of four all the way to the airport, watching three of them go through security. They didn't return until they were no longer in sight.

Guoguo: "Ah, the children grew up and started their own families, so they all left." Ye Heng: "After a while, when we have more manpower and are on the right track, if you want them, let them come back." "Forget it, it depends on their own wishes. I won't be their decision." "Okay."

When they got home, Li Qin had gone to work, and Min was sitting on the first floor holding the baby. Guoguo said, "It's not good to hold a baby when it's still young. Wait until it's seven or eight months old." "Oh, I don't know." She put the baby in the stroller.

"This way I feel more relaxed." Guoguo: "The baby's body is soft and can't be held."

That night, Chai Ping'an said to Guoguo, "Let's live in the wooden house." "Okay. Grandpa and grandma can live wherever they want." Ye Heng helped move. Chai Zhen and Xia Hua came back and also moved into the wooden house. Guoguo, Ye Heng, and the children lived in the jade house.

Huang Bao: "I'll buy furniture for everyone in a few days. Pear wood furniture, sofas, tables and chairs." Chai Zhen: "It doesn't matter if we have it or not, we can sit in the yard." Guo Guo: "It's all right. But there must be a cabinet for hanging clothes, a dressing table and so on. Buy a full set of furniture, with everything you need. We will be living here a lot in the future." After hearing this, Chai Zhen said, "Then Guo Guo and Feng Xing, you can make the arrangements." Guo Guo: "Okay. It's for the long term."

Ye Heng went to the mall and bought some wires and light bulbs to install lights in the cabin. He also bought a kettle and a circuit board.

After a few days of tidying up, the rooms were fully furnished. Sofas, tables, bookcases, wardrobes, bookshelves, shoe cabinets, etc., everything was there. Guoguo looked around and said, "Take your time to buy everything. Just buy whatever you need!" Xiahua: "Okay, Guoguo, don't worry about it. I'm here for you!" Guoguo smiled and said, "Yeah, that's right."

Li Jingwen: "Guoguo, when can you go back home and bring me some of my books?" "Anytime." Li Jingwen: "Tomorrow, right?" "Yeah, sure." Li Jingwen: "And buy me a bookcase to put my books in!" Ye Heng: "Okay, I'll make you a custom bookcase." He found a ruler and arranged the cabinets, desks, sofas, and other furniture in the house to see where the bookcase would go. He measured the dimensions and then ordered a large bookcase. Ye Heng planned to place a large bookcase in every room, measuring the dimensions of each room.

Wang Xiaomin and Guoguo were on the side, offering suggestions. Li Jingwen listened, thinking about the layout of the room; it was quite good. These people really had insights. He thought about how they were learning things he didn't know, how they were using common idioms in their conversation, and just because they spoke so clearly, knowing more than he did, he learned from them and pondered the problem.

After a few days of hard work, a huge glass roof was erected in the yard, housing the wooden house. The furniture was already in place, with each room boasting a wardrobe, bookcase, desk, sofa, and wooden bed—all brand new. The floor was also wooden, and the activity area in the yard was paved with marble tiles, cement-coated to prevent hard water from drying out.

Guo Guo: "When we have time, we can build a row of sheds on the side to store the food." Ye Heng heard that he had to consider these things, "Well, don't worry about it, I'll arrange it." "Okay, I don't have to worry about it."

Then they all went to work in the fields. The watermelons and strawberries were all sold. Guoguo was going to plant wheat on thirty acres of red soil. Ye Heng: "Well, I'll scoop up the seedlings and let them ferment the manure, then plow the land."

With more people, work can be done faster. Soon, they finished plowing and planting the land, and then planted sweet potatoes at the edge of the field - the ones with red flesh, which are sweet.

After the vegetables were picked, only leeks and spinach were left in the fields. People all started planting tomatoes, beans, garlic, and other vegetables. The children had a great time. After playing enough, they all went swimming in the water. Guoguo took the opportunity to make a magical spring rain. Chai Donghua: "Not bad, it feels good to breathe. Big sister, you are really good at this!"

Wang Xiaomin: "Not everyone can have this. It's amazing!" Chai Donghua: "This is great fortune. Opportunities are hard to come by!" Guoguo: "Just enjoy it! But you still have to work hard."

Chai Donghua: "Haha, sure. I actually like doing some farm work." Wang Xiaomin: "Me too. It's okay to do less, just consider it exercise!"...

Shuhua made a midnight snack, and the whole family ate it before going to rest.
