Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around

Huangbao went to see off the people from the Land Bureau and just walked with them for a few steps.

Ye Heng said to his son, "There are so many wastelands lying idle, but the common people are working so hard to support their families. They don't farm. If a family could farm and someone could go to work, they could have food and money, wouldn't that be good?" "Dad, don't think too much. Every place has its own rules of life, and that's not something we can control." "Dad knows, let's go home." Ye Heng closed the door, turned on the automatic device, Huangbao got in the car, and of course there was a bag of sweet potatoes in the trunk, and Ye Heng drove back to Beijing.

The goods in the yard have arrived in the space early.

The people from the Land Bureau said in the car, "This place is too remote, no one comes here to buy land, and yet Mr. Ye grows crops here." "Yeah, we can't afford to buy land." "Haha, you don't want to farm!" Several people said this to live an easy life, but they didn't have any motivation at all!

After more than an hour, Ye Heng and his son returned to the community. They stopped the car at the door of their unit and Chai Donghua got out to carry the things. Ye Heng opened the trunk and the two of them carried it out. Chai Donghua chuckled and said he had to work hard! Ye Heng got in the car and drove to the parking space and stopped. He locked the car door. After walking back, the two of them carried a bag of sweet potatoes into the building and took the elevator upstairs. "Brother-in-law, not bad. You brought back food for everyone. It's rare!" Ye Heng said expressionlessly: "Well, let's go to work tomorrow."

Chai Donghua laughed in his heart and said yes.

The elevator arrived, and the two of them carried it out of the elevator. Huang Bao walked in front and opened the door. The two of them carried it inside. Ye Heng said: "Go straight to the kitchen." "Okay."

Huang Bao closed the door and laughed in the back. This was the first time Huang Bao had seen adults carrying things. Humph, not even as good as children.

Ye Heng said to his family, "Let's go harvest the crops tomorrow. It's cold, and I don't think they'll grow any more." Li Jingwen: "It's okay, they're growing slowly, but they can grow some more." Guoguo: "Master Li, I've checked. It's cold here, so they won't grow any more. We planted them late. We can harvest them and sell them for boiled corn. We'll make more money than selling grain once they're ripe! The sweet potatoes can grow any longer; they're fine in the soil, as long as they don't freeze." Li Jingwen: "Okay, I've noticed. People here don't farm much and don't care about food." Guoguo: "It's not that no one farms. Farmers in the countryside farm, but we're in the city, and they do other jobs, different kinds of work. Everyone go harvest tomorrow. We can keep the crops fresh and sell boiled corn for a long time. After harvesting, plant wheat! We'll have a big harvest next year!" Haha! Haha! The family cheered up after hearing Guoguo's words. They were happy when they heard about food or making money. Tomorrow is Saturday, and the school-age children are happy to have a day off.

After breakfast, they happily left, their bags on their backs. Xia Hua left with the three college students, while Chai Zhen stayed home to take care of the children. But since the children were older, he didn't have to worry about anything. I wandered around the neighborhood with Old Man Chai and had some tea.

The three little ones and Chai Xi listened to Master Li's lectures, while Wang Xiaomin took care of the children, and Guoguo and the other two looked after all four. Of course, Chai Donghua also helped out. And there was also the beautiful woman who helped with diapers, baby clothes, and housekeeping. Minmin went out with her own children, and sometimes she would take Jiubao and Shibao out with her.

Guoguo was checking out the supplies in the space, and Yeheng followed. Speaking of his son, Yeheng said, "Huangbao's getting more and more capable, which gives me less to worry about." "Well, that kid's a natural, he's here to help you," Yeheng chuckled. Guoguo found the floral space and realized there wasn't much cotton left. It was time to go back and buy some. There was also white cotton for quilts. There was a lot of floral fabric, which Guoguo planned to take to the ancient times to sell. Yeheng took out the bill and gave it to Guoguo, saying, "Here's the inventory. What's available? Check the prices. Don't sell at a loss, don't make a profit, and don't lose money." "Yes, I know. Two yuan here is one cent back home. One tael of silver is two thousand yuan. This is the conversion probability." "Yes, I understand now. The workers here don't earn much. But even women can earn money. If two people in a family can earn money, they're better off than ordinary people." Guoguo agreed with Yeheng. "Yes. There are people who earn a lot. The average salary here is over ten thousand yuan. Prices are high, and life is hard for everyone." He continued to look through the supplies. Ye Heng checked the bullets, all of them qualified. He carried them aside, thinking he'd bought quite a bit. A box held a thousand rounds, a hundred boxes in all. What a brilliant son. After Ye Heng finished carrying them, he stacked them neatly and covered them with tarpaulins. He had Xiao Shunzi carry the oil drums, and they were all set aside. Ye Heng checked the motor oil, gasoline, and diesel. All the machinery used to grow crops needed them. "We spent a lot again this time! Just look at this stuff," Ye Heng hummed.

Guoguo found a mountain of military cotton coats and shoes. "Let's go out. I've checked." Ye Heng asked, "Can you move them directly to our house?" Haha, "I can't, but Huangbao can." "Let's wait until tomorrow." "Yeah, that's right. Let's just leave them here. It'll only take a day. There's a lot of camouflage fabric. Fengxing, have you seen the clothes I'm designing for soldiers now?" "No." "I'll show you when we get back. I guarantee you'll like them." "Okay." "Girls look better in floral clothes. Let's make floral cotton coats for our kids." Ye Heng heard this and thought of the cute clothes Guoguo wore as a child. So he said, "Okay. Boys and girls alike." Just thinking about the scene of Guoguo wearing floral cotton coats made him laugh out loud.

"I'll take the cloth out first and prepare to make cotton-padded jackets for you men in dark colors and women in patterned colors." "Okay, make it for me and I'll wear it, haha. It's like having heaters in winter, you can't wear anything too thick." "I'll wear it when I go back to my hometown." "Okay." He gritted his teeth and said, "I'll wear it." He has no shortage of clothes, and good clothes at that. As long as his wife makes them, no matter how good they are, he will wear them.

Guoguo took out various cotton fabrics and went to the living room. Wang Xiaomin saw them and said, "Sister, are these for making cotton-padded clothes for the children?" Guoguo smiled and said, "Yes, everyone in the family has one. You have one too." Wang Xiaomin! "Make cotton-padded clothes. After all, cotton clothes are warmer in winter." Wang Xiaomin laughed and said, "I don't need them. I'll just make them for the children." "Or you can make them into padded jackets." "Oh, that's fine too."

Guoguo called Shuhua and the others and asked who knew how to make clothes. All six of them shook their heads. Guoguo was dumbfounded. "No one knows how to make clothes." "Master, this is not what we studied!" "Okay, I won't make things difficult for you, haha. Just cook, wash clothes and clean. Go ahead." "Yes, Master. How about we learn?" "Let's talk about it when we have time. It's okay, little beauties. Sister doesn't blame you, go ahead." The six of them left. "Master is so kind!"

Guoguo thought that only Xia Hua could do this. Sister Xia Hua was all-powerful! She put her things in an empty room and went to work on something else. She checked the time and went to make food for the children. They needed a mid-morning snack. Adults need to eat too—women and babies need snacks when they're breastfeeding.

At half past ten, Minmin returned with the child. Guoguo had just finished steaming egg custard and said, "Min, feed the children." "Yes, I came back to feed the children." Yeheng was already feeding the two children. Guoguo brought Wang Xiaomin food: bird's nest and chicken soup. Guoguo, Minmin, and Wang Xiaomin all ate. Later, the elderly joined in. A small bowl was added to the mid-afternoon meal. Snacks were added at regular times throughout the day for women, the elderly, and the children. If anyone else was hungry, they were given snacks.

The kitchen began preparing lunch. Ye Heng ordered a few meat dishes from the hotel, which were delivered at 12:00. He had rice and pork rib soup for lunch. The family only cooked vegetarian dishes.

At half past twelve, the children came back and it was time for dinner. All the dishes were served.

Every day, the family lives happily. The children happily say, "We don't have to go to school this afternoon. We can have two days off tomorrow. We're so happy!"

Even before the day even arrived, the children were looking forward to it. Ye Heng said, "Let's talk about it after dinner." "Okay," said the youngest daughter.

Jiubao and Shibao can eat now, so they can eat less. Yeheng takes care of the children's meals, and Guoguo doesn't have to worry about them. Chai Donghua changes and washes the children's diapers. His wife only needs to feed the children and not worry about anything else. He looks after the children, and Chai Laodi often looks after them, too. The two of them look after the children together. Of course, they buy all the clothes, but only make cotton-padded jackets. Those are made by Xia Hua, too. Wang Xiaomin is delighted. Her husband said his wife only needs to bear and raise the children, and he'll take care of them.

The family was in a happy mood, enjoying themselves, eating and playing. Old Chai was enjoying his grandchildren, and Li Jingwen was also enjoying himself. Chai Zhen was most delighted, as he had a little son to keep by his side in his later years.

After lunch, Ye Heng took the two children back to their room for a nap. Guoguo and Xiahua helped clear the living room table. "Xia, I've got all the fabric for the cotton-padded clothes. It's in the empty room on the second floor. Let's cut and make them this afternoon!" "Okay." Guoguo thought that manual work was too slow and thought about buying a sewing machine. She immediately took action, took out her phone and started browsing Taobao. She bought an electric sewing machine, a large one that was fast and should arrive in three days. There were so many clothes to make!
