Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around

In the evening, everyone had a delicious meal. Sugar-mixed tomatoes were put into the mouths of several children. Little Milk Bao drank a few mouthfuls of the sugar syrup, which was sour and sweet. The little milk bun with a soft leavened bread core ate a large piece, and ate a lot of millet porridge and pumpkin rice. Xiaodong had grown white and taller recently. Old Lady Li also liked him and said, "Xiaodong, eat more. Tell grandma what you want to eat." "Grandma, this is delicious. I eat a lot at every meal." "My sister also lets me drink milk every night. I'm getting fat." Chai Zhen said, "You are growing taller, so you need to eat enough." "I know, great grandfather." Xiaodong looked at Jiale and said, "Daddy, you should eat more too. You are too thin." Jiale said happily, "Oh, you know how to care for others. Okay, you should eat more too and grow stronger. You have to practice martial arts in the evening." "Yeah, I know."...

After dinner, Chai Zhen said, "Hongying, prepare some sacks. We're harvesting wheat tomorrow." "Okay, I got it." "Men, go find sickles and hoes for tomorrow's harvest. They need sharpening." "Tomorrow morning, women, cook, and men, go to the fields. The sooner we harvest, the sooner we can plant the next crop." "Okay." "Okay." Chai Zhen added, "After you finish harvesting here, Li Biaotou, take everyone home to see the crops and help plant the fields." "Okay, Uncle Er, we'll go home after we finish here."

Xiaodong carried Xiaonaibao to the east room, followed by a string of children. They all climbed onto the soft beds, sitting on them. Xiaonaibao settled in, and Xiaodong poured the children some cold water for them to drink when they were thirsty. He then moved a small table to the bedside, and with a wave of his hand, a computer appeared on the table. Even though everyone had seen it before, they were still shocked! Xiaonaibao asked what they had seen, and Hengheng replied, "I finished watching The Monkey King Defeats the White Bone Demon." Xiaonaibao clicked on the next episode, where they encountered the Yellow Robe Monster and saw Sun Wukong being banished to Flower-Fruit Mountain. As the theme song started, the children all started singing along, "You carry the burden, I lead the horse..." Hahaha, the children were so happy...

Old Lady Li and Zhang Baohua found the sacks, while Wang Min and Li Ru found the needle and thread, and the four of them started mending in the west room. Ma Xiaohong arrived a little later and helped.

Chai Zhen called Jia Le over and asked, "How was your trip? Have you made your choice?" "Grandpa, I've looked. To the north, it's endless wasteland. We'll mow the grass and clear the land after we finish harvesting the crops, and then we'll build it." Chai Zhen: "Further west, it borders Datong Prefecture in Shanxi. There are no roads here. When you have some free time, go explore and see how far north it is?" "Yes." "Wait until I write to the prince and see if there's a feng shui map." [Ancient Map] "Grandpa, from what I can see, this is wasteland, but it's very flat. If we can open it up, we might be able to plant a lot of land." "Take your time."

"Jia Le, you should practice martial arts too, so you can protect yourself when you go out." "I understand, Grandpa." "I'll go." "Go ahead."

Chai Zhen went out to the river to look at his watermelon plantings. It was a vast expanse of green. He squatted down and suddenly saw a large watermelon, then several more. He stood up and headed south. His own melon seedlings had all produced fruit. He checked on other people's fields and saw they had also harvested fruit, quite a few. He'd water them the day after tomorrow and need to prepare baskets for them. He went to the school to find Sun Gui and said, "I just went around the riverside sandy land and harvested some large watermelons. Tell everyone to water them tomorrow and prepare baskets for them." "This is the first harvest, we can't sell them." Sun Gui said, "Yes, we have to send them to the Emperor." "Tomorrow I'll have Quan talk to his grandfather about it. It's time to prepare." Chai Zhen said, "I'll go see Li Guang's family. The elders in our village have been making baskets lately. I'll see if they're good enough." "Okay, you go." "Well, Gui, go ahead." Sun Gui looked at Chai Zhen and left. "This second uncle is really hardworking." He smiled and went back. "Oh, he's busy."

Chai Zhen came to Li Guang's house. Several old men in the village were weaving baskets. They asked, "How many have you made?" Li Guang said, "At least a thousand." Chai Zhen listened and said, "Good, the more the better. The melons in our village are almost ripe. Baskets for holding the melons will be very useful. Let's weave them and make money." "It would be best if they were made more exquisitely. We will send the first batch of melons to the emperor." "Really?" "Of course." "The emperor rewarded our village last time and distributed it to everyone. Some of them have been sold for money and used to buy piglets. The whole village will share the profits during the New Year." "That's great! I have been poor all my life, but now I can live a good life again in my old age!" Someone said, We can't finish all the vegetables we grow now. My wife feeds a lot of chickens, so we have eggs every day. We also exchange them for white flour, so we have white flour buns to eat. "My family is doing well too. My grandson is happy every day. He can earn money too. He comes home from school, grabs his sickle, and goes to cut grass and delivers it to the pigpen. Last month he earned a hundred coins, and his mother made him a new set of clothes to wear to school. It makes me happy to see it too. My grandson says he's not tired. He sits down at school, and cutting grass after school is not tiring. He's very happy." "My grandson is the same. As long as the children are well," Chai Zhen said. "Old brothers, don't worry, we will get better and better." "Li Guang, find a sturdy and beautiful basket and prepare it." "Okay, okay, I'll prepare it."

Chai Zhen returned home, poured himself a cup of tea, and sat down at the table. Old Lady Li heated up a bag of milk and brought it to him in a bowl, saying, "Dad, drink it." "Yes." "Dad, drink it and then go to bed. It's getting late." "Well, is there any meat left at home?" "There's still some, enough for tomorrow." "Okay."
