Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around

Chapter 542 Ye Heng sees He Shouyi return home (3)

In the afternoon, Guoguo went to the factory to check the newly harvested cotton and the inventory. There wasn't much this time. After checking, Guoguo went to the river and played with the two children.

The watermelons from the riverside sandy land were all sold out, and Guoguo was beaming. There weren't many people around, most of them were at home preparing food. Occasionally, someone would come by and Guoguo would chat with them.

A village in perfect harmony! This was a rare sight in that era. It was truly a model! A banner!

Guoguo looked at the peanuts planted in the sand, squatted down, pulled some out and took a look. Haha, there were quite a few of them, and they could be harvested.

The two children followed suit, making a lot of sand. Guoguo didn't scold the children. They just played with the sand for fun. Playing with the sand is good for the body. Guoguo saw the little son's action and said, "Jiubao, don't put it in your mouth. You can't eat it." Jiubao said in a soft and sweet voice, "Mommy, baby knows." Shibao also said in a sweet voice that can melt people's hearts, "Mommy, we are not stupid." "Haha, okay, you two play here, I'll go to the other side of the river to take a look." "Okay."

Guoguo quickly crossed the river to look at the farm. "There are at least a thousand pigs and quite a few chickens too. Okay. We can't eat them all in a year."

The old people at the farm still recognized Guoguo, and when they saw Guoguo coming back, they all came up to talk to him. "Hello, Guoguo, now that you're back, stay a few more days! Our hometown is great!" "Yes, stay a few more days, harvest the crops, then leave." "Okay, okay, let's take a look at our hometown, it's so beautiful." "Yes, with mountains and water, fertile soil, it's a natural place for survival."

A row of pigpen fences by the river.

Guoguo thought it was OK, not bad. She quickly ran back to find the children. The two little ones were sitting on the ground, covered in mud, with sand all over their faces and bodies. Hehehe. Guoguo laughed heartily, "Okay, okay." Go home and wash your own clothes. Shibao: "Mom, it's okay, I'm here." Hehe, that's a nice thought. "Let's go home." Guoguo took out a basket of peanuts that the two children had poured out and carried it home. The two children followed and walked slowly, fortunately the road was flat. Jiubao: "Sister, mom saw that our clothes were dirty, so she didn't want to hold us anymore." Shibao: "We can walk, what are you afraid of. Humph!" The little girl has a bad temper. Guoguo looked back, said nothing, and continued walking.

After returning home, Guoguo washed the peanuts and asked someone to take them to the kitchen to cook.

The front door of the Chai family was crowded with people, children playing. School was on vacation, and during the busy farming season, they all had a few days off. Adults and children alike had to go to the fields to work.

The teachers in the school also reclaimed wasteland and cultivated crops, which provided income.

He Shouyi never left. His family married him, and he lived here alone. He enjoyed his life and sent money back home every year. He didn't want to leave, and since his family didn't come, he just lived like this. Women weren't what he wanted, and he'd given up on them over the years.

No children, waiting for the woman to leave on her own. The divorce letter has been sent home for many years, so it doesn't matter.

He was fine here, and he loved it. He built a house and lived there. He received a share of the village's handouts. In his spare time, he made baskets and straw fans, which the villagers collected. Although the money he received wasn't much, it was more than enough for his daily needs. He even saved some.

Today he was also at home preparing sacks for mending, sharpening sickles and hoes, and accompanied by a servant.

After Jia He explained this, Guo Guo felt sorry for He Shou Yi. It was because of her childhood studies that Ye Heng had brought him here. Now he was old and middle-aged. Guo Guo was ready to go and see what had become of the young and handsome man who had come here before!

Ye Heng: "I'll go with you." The two of them didn't bring the child. Guo Guo: "I'll pick up some things." "Okay." Guo Guo went out with a large bag. "What are these?" Guo Guo chuckled. "Daily necessities."

He Shouyi lived in the second row on the north side of the west end of the village. Ye Heng knocked on the door, and a servant came to open it. "Your Highness, please come in!"

Ye Heng hummed. He and Guoguo went in. He Shouyi was sitting in the yard, sharpening a sickle. When he saw the prince, he stood up and saluted, "Hello, Prince and Princess!" "No need to be polite if you are not in the court." He Shouyi: "Please come in and have a seat!" Guoguo: "Sir, I am still your student. I will sit in the yard for a while." He Shouyi: "Okay, servant, serve tea!" "Yes." Guoguo: "Sir, you haven't gone home yet?" "Yeah. It's nice here. I'm used to the life here. I don't have any resentment or unwillingness in my heart, but... [No partner! Lonely and lonely.] Ye Heng: "Sir, what are your plans for the future?" "I have stayed here longer than in my hometown. When I get old, I will stay here." Guoguo: "Sir, you can be said to be a good student taught by a good person. You can be said to be a hero of Taohua Village! If there is any unfinished business, just tell me. Guoguo will help if I can! "He Shouyi looked at Guoguo, then at Yeheng and said, "I've been here for half my life and haven't been anywhere. I want to go out for a walk, see Dayan, and see how the people live! I've been here for more than 20 years!" Guoguo also sighed, "Sir, you were a young man full of vigor and vitality when you came here, but now you're old. Guoguo feels sorry for you, Sir." He Shouyi stood up and saluted, "It's my fault. It has nothing to do with the princess." Yeheng: "It's nothing, I get it. Sir, you want to go and see the current state of our Dayan. Okay, I agree. I've wanted to go and check it out for a long time, but I never had the time. It's just right that I trust you, Sir, to tour the country on my behalf! When I return to the capital and report to the emperor, the imperial edict will be issued soon." He Shouyi saluted respectfully, "Okay, Your Majesty's business is really what I want to do. Thank you, Your Majesty, for fulfilling my request." Guoguo: "Sir, you are so kind! These are daily necessities. Please accept them. You don't have a woman to help you, so I bought them all. You can use them." He Shouyi: "Thank you, Princess." "I'll accept it." "Princess, I'm not used to hearing that. Just call me Guoguo." He Shouyi smiled. "You're still the same as when you were little!" Guoguo smiled. The two said goodbye.

Guo Guo, "Sir, I have a gift for you when you leave. Take care on your journey! We'll meet here in our later years!" He Shouyi understood and said, "Okay!"

He Shouyi watched Guoguo walk away with tears in his eyes. The servant said, "Sir, I told you a long time ago that you should talk to the princess, but you didn't. You've suffered for so many years."

Ye Heng said, "He Shouyi has been here since he was a top scholar in his youth, and he also spent his retirement here!" "Yes, that's what I thought." Ye Heng chuckled. He was not stupid, so how could he not understand what Guo Guo said! This is a good minister. Let him do things for me. Thinking about whether to tell the emperor, I decided to tell him.
