Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around

Chai Donghua designed the budget for all the civil engineering work. Huang Bao purchased the necessary materials and oversaw their transportation. Chai Donghua oversaw the construction of the house.

The two of them worked very well together. Whatever was needed on the construction site, the materials arrived immediately or in advance. This greatly accelerated the progress of the project. The house was completed in half a year and the interior decoration of the walls began. First, the cement was applied to the walls.

Then there's the whitewashed walls, and the windows are solid wood—all pear wood, no plastic. There's a large grove of pear trees on the mountain in the space, so there's no shortage of wood.

Xiao Shunzi was grafting and planting cuttings again. That little world was filled with treasures! But they were all the result of everyone's hard work. Every bit of hard work pays off.

Huang Bao directs Xiao Shunzi to manage everything in his space. Guo Guo now has less to worry about! With such a capable son, there's no need to worry too much! [Thumbs up to Huang Bao.]

Ye Heng has a son, so he has less to worry about at the company! But he still insists on going to the company every day to help Li Qin. Haha, if Li Qin knew about Ye Heng's thoughts, would he quit? Li Qin is just a sucker, haha, no blame, the family's food and drink should still be taken care of by the man. Haha, everyone can cheat! Li Qin is an honest man, doing his best to do his job well, and he is still working hard! [Wave your fist to support Li Qin!] [Li Qin is the representative of the working people, a person that any leader likes.]

The house is not yet completed, but Huang Bao is already thinking about the furniture and decoration of the rooms. All the materials for the fine decoration are in place, and we are just waiting to start.

Huang Bao likes a luxurious and comfortable home. However, this time he did not make the decision on his own and held a family meeting.

That day, we invited the head of the household, who held the final say, to discuss the furnishings. Everyone agreed that the overall layout needed to be the same, so we let Huang Bao design and buy everything. He could buy his own bedroom!

Finally, it was confirmed. Huang Bao said, "Okay, I'll take charge of purchasing everything for the entire building. I agree to buy a set of bedding. If you want to add more later, you can buy it yourself!"

Huangbao spent two days custom-making everything—of course, it was custom-made overseas, a complete set! The living room had to be grand, luxurious, elegant, and comfortable! It also had to be understated! Haha, you can imagine how difficult it was!

After several rounds of redesigns by top designers from all over the world, Huangbao finally decided on two sets and said, "Let's make both." The pre-order money was immediately transferred!

Two months later, everything was airlifted back. Huangbao received the goods and had his staff inspect them one by one. After confirming the supplies were in good condition, he explained that a staff member would be needed for installation. With their approval, Huangbao transferred the balance, which they signed for.

The house's interior and exterior walls were now complete, and the renovations began, including windows, doors, flooring, and glass. Huangbao started school, and Chai Donghua was in charge of everything. Despite the constant supply of delicious food, Chai Donghua still lost weight.

I watched as the heating system was installed and the troops cleared the pipes. I tried the cold water and it worked. "It's done." The walls were already built, and everything else I needed was basically complete. The basement garage and cellar were already built and tidied up, with the floor smoothed with cement. The walls were tiled for waterproofing and moisture-proofing. There was a patch of land in the cellar, about an acre, where I was going to grow garlic sprouts.

The children were all in school, so Guoguo and the two younger ones stayed with Huangbao. Guoguo taught the children on time every day, without interruption. Life was simple yet beautiful.

Huang Bao, Xiao Chen, and Xiao Tian started studying again. They were still in high school, and they had originally planned to study for four years, but they hadn't realized that some of them wanted to learn professional flight mechanics and go to college earlier! Huang Bao and the others discussed and decided to work hard to finish high school in three years. Xiao Tian liked it very much, "Okay, I like it."

Guoguo didn't go back to the city center, but lived in the suburbs and stopped traveling back and forth. The quadruplets didn't want to go back because they missed their mother, so Ye Heng had to bring them over every week. Li Jingwen followed. Chai Xi followed and heard that Huang Bao and the others were studying high-tech knowledge, so he was very interested. He told Guoguo about it, and Guoguo also supported the child. He didn't want to discourage the child's enthusiasm, so he said, "Okay, when you go to high school, come here and let's talk to the school." Chai Xi said seriously, "I will work hard."

"Don't try too hard, just keep calm. You're still young, so play more. Childhood happiness is important, Xiaoxi." "Yeah, I know." Chai Xi is older than him, so Guoguo has to call him Second Grandpa. But Chai Xi is still young, so Guoguo just calls him by his first name.

The children all knew how to work hard and make progress, which Guoguo hadn't expected. After all, they ate food grown with spiritual spring water and drank spiritual spring water every day. Haha!

Li Jingwen only teaches the children one lesson every day, and the rest is his responsibility. He lives a relaxed and happy life! He wanders around outside, relaxed and at ease! He still wears ancient costumes. He looks like a movie star, a handsome old man!

Soon I met many old ladies in this community and chatted with them. I felt so lonely!

The house was soon finished. The road was being cleared, and the fence, two meters high and topped with barbed wire, was erected. Two gates remained: a large front gate and a larger back gate, large enough for large trucks to enter and exit. There was a small hut where a caretaker could live. However, it wasn't needed here. Only the hut remained.

In front, there is a gate three meters high and three meters wide, which is large enough for cars to enter and exit.

Five hundred acres of land surrounded by a wall is enormous! A two-meter-high fence would seem low. Huangbao had half-meter-high iron mesh installed, even with electricity! Then, electronic security cameras were installed. No more guarding the yard.

The main road, paved with smooth cement, leads directly to the building. However, there's a detour in the middle, where a rockery pavilion and a small bridge lead to a stream. All the way to the east wall, there's a lake and a small stream. The road is paved with cement and bluestone. The water can also be used for irrigation. A large basketball court has been built to the west of the front yard, perfect for playing basketball, playing games, running exercises, and practicing martial arts.

Chai Donghua gave it a thorough inspection and declared everything in good condition. The project was complete, and the remaining balance was settled. He sent the construction workers packing. Next came the gate installation, which was professionally done. The large, imposing iron gate, adorned with copper nails, stood guard in front of the gate.

It will take some time to finish the building. The doors and windows are all ready, and the window screens, curtains, soft furnishings, sofas, chairs, tables, etc. The floor is smoothed with cement underneath, and the floor tiles are above - large beige ceramic tiles, and the wooden floor is laid on top.

The bedroom floor was covered in a thick blanket. The glass was double-glazed. The table and sofa had already arrived; now all we had to do was move them in. After some set-up, we did some final cleaning. The painters and the others arrived, and after two weeks of cleaning and polishing, it was finally ready! The women busied themselves with cleaning and decorating. The exterior walls were decorated with colorful lights that could be turned on and off at any time. The headlights were all bright, flower-patterned incandescent bulbs. The top floor was the most luxurious, made entirely of thick, transparent glass. There was only a one-meter-high guardrail. It was safe, considering the children were grown.

After looking at it, Guoguo said, "Take your time to arrange it, there's no rush." ​​Wang Xiaomin: "Yeah. This top floor is too big!" Guoguo chuckled.

The exterior walls are only 1.5 meters wide and thick. Just imagine how big the top floor of several buildings connected together would be! Haha. It's perfectly load-bearing! You could even build a garden on top and grow crops.

Guoguo said, "Let's dry it for a while and move it in time for the New Year!" Wang Xiaomin: "Sure, we don't use glue, so it's all environmentally friendly."

Xu Yao: "These walls are made of white porcelain clay, which is very expensive." Chai En didn't understand, but he knew it was good clay!

"Auntie," Xuyao ​​shouted, I live in the first building on the east side! Guoguo smiled and said, "Okay! It's all the same!" "I know, you can see the sun rising from the east here!" Yeheng: "Okay! Who lives in the second building?" Minmin: "I'll live there." Guoguo: "Yangyang, you live in the third building, and the young people live in the east. The six beautiful women, calligraphy and painting, pink and purple, live on the first floor of the fourth building, and you can decide which room to live in." "Yes! Master."

Chai Zhen lives off to the side—in the west building. Guoguo also lives in the fourth building. "My brother's family lives in the fifth building." The entrances downstairs are different, but the top floors are the same, with connected balconies. Anyone can go there; the entrance is the balcony. The balconies aren't connected. There has to be some private space.

What a great design! The balcony is like a sunny avenue! Hahaha! Xuyao ​​laughed heartily. Yangyang laughed too. Guoguo: "We agreed to live on the second floor so it's convenient for visiting each other!" "Okay. The first floor is blocked. Let's live on the second floor."

The basic furniture is custom-made by Huangbao. If anyone wants to add anything else, they can buy it themselves. Flowers and plants can be added slowly.

Ye Heng has paid too much for the children's future studies! The Chai family has paid a lot. Ye Heng looked at Chai Donghua, who was pitifully thin, and said, "Brother-in-law can take a year off." Chai Donghua looked at his brother-in-law and humphed, "It's my duty. I'm at the construction site day and night every day." Guo Guo listened to what her brother said and saw it with her own eyes. He was indeed working hard and his body was very thin. It was heartbreaking to see him. She added, "Paid rest!"

Chai Donghua was delighted, but he kept quiet. "Haha, this is the perk I deserve! It's exhausting!" Guoguo brought the kids here to tidy up the yard when she had nothing to do. Old Man Chai and Chai Zhen both had work to do: till the ground, plant flowers, and decorate the yard. Guoguo cleaned the inside of the house. She ignored the unoccupied rooms and only cleaned the first and second floors. Then there was the top floor!

For winter, Guoguo's family built a greenhouse. The south-facing side was entirely glass. The ceiling was tempered glass with an automatic switch. The west and north sides were brick walls, while the east and south sides were glass. Later, Chai Zhen covered the outside with straw fans to keep it warm. Inside, they planted vegetables: spinach, wheat, leeks, cucumbers, and strawberries—all easy-to-grow crops!

Hard work pays off. After a year of hard work, in the twelfth lunar month, the family moved into their new home. There was a large yard, a delight for the children! Boys and girls alike loved playing ball, and the younger ones were cheerleaders! Old Chai sat at the gate, bundled up, not coming inside. It felt like spring inside, winter outside. He was delighted to see the children; they were all part of Old Chai's family. Haha, the old man forgot most of them weren't surnamed Chai! He was happy, too, because they were family.

Later, when the children stopped going to school, they wanted to sell the entire apartment in the city. Huangbao didn't want to, but Yeheng decided to keep it! Guoguo also had no objection. She wanted to keep it for the children, as a memory. This place has carried so many children's happy childhoods. Anyone who wants to live here can come and live here.

Wang Xiaomin never sold her home, nor did she live there again. She left it as a keepsake for her children. She simply moved the jade bed here, and the family settled there from then on.
