Traveling through time and space to become a concubine's daughter, leading the whole village to

With money, the topics at the dinner table began to become richer.

Village chief Han discussed with Uncle Liu and Brother Han how much felt cloth each household would need to repair their house.

Whose house needs repairing first?

Aunt Han and her other three sons planned to use the remaining money to buy some emergency supplies for the village.

Food and medicinal herbs are what Hanjia Village needs most in winter.

Xu Miao and Chun'er didn't understand these things, so they sat aside with Tiedan and listened. After a while, they discussed the things that needed to be prepared urgently.

Old Man Liu stroked his beard and said, "Village Chief Han, you need to get to the city quickly. In the winter in northern Xinjiang, it snows all the time."

"While the weather is not too cold yet, hurry up and buy things so that we can repair the house before the heavy snow comes."

Village Chief Han and Boss Han nodded in agreement hurriedly.

The weather in northern Xinjiang is not very cold yet. If it were the coldest days of winter, we would not be able to repair the house even with felt.

The cold wind was so strong that people couldn't even stretch out their hands, and they couldn't do anything.

Finally, Village Chief Han slammed the table and said, "Let's go to the city tomorrow morning. I'll take the second and third sons with me."

"The eldest and the fourth brother stay at home and take good care of the house. If anything happens, the eldest brother will quickly gather the villagers."

Village Chief Han glanced at Xu Miao and said with a smile, "If it really doesn't work, A'miao, just ride your horse to the military camp to ask the Major General for help."

With the relationship with Xu Miao, Village Chief Han is not worried about no one coming to help.

Xu Miao also smiled: "Don't worry, Uncle Han, if I see the situation is not good, I will be the first to run to get reinforcements, you can just go into the city without worry."

Everyone finished their meal happily, and Village Chief Han asked Boss Han to carry Uncle Liu back home.

Old Mr. Liu was so excited that he drank a few more cups of wine and passed out drunk on the kang in Village Chief Han's house.

Village chief Han wanted to let him stay at the Han family's house for one night, but Mr. Liu refused to do anything and insisted on going back to his own home.

"Send me home. I'm not used to living outside. If I want to get up to pee at night, I can't find a place." Mr. Liu said stubbornly.

He is old and has to get up frequently at night, so it is really inconvenient for him to live in someone else's house.

Finally, Village Chief Han had no choice but to ask Boss Han to carry Uncle Liu on his back, cover him with clothes, and send him home.

He asked the second and fourth sons to take Xu Miao and Chun'er home. It was dark outside, and Village Chief Han was worried about Xu Miao and the other two girls going home alone.

She took Han Lao San home to pack things for tomorrow's trip, while Aunt Han was busy taking care of Tiedan and clearing the table.

Only then did Xu Miao realize that family strength comes from having more people. If Village Chief Han had fewer sons, it really wouldn't be enough.

The next morning, Aunt Han came to Xu Miao's house holding Tiedan to chat. Xu Miao then learned that Village Chief Han had taken the second and third sons of the Han family to the city early in the morning.

"His aunt, you don't know, your uncle Han was so excited last night that he didn't sleep well all night."

"I'm planning to go to the city to find Zhang from our village and have him take me around to buy things."

"That kid Zhang has been working in the blacksmith shop in Dingzhou City for many years and is familiar with the city."

"Your uncle Han hasn't been to Dingzhou City for many years. I remember that the last time I went to Dingzhou City, your eldest brother hadn't gotten married yet."

Aunt Han fed Tiedan water with a small spoon while chatting with Xu Miao.

"It will take the three of them about ten days to go back and forth. I hope there's no heavy snow in northern Xinjiang during those ten days. If it does, they won't be able to get back from the provincial capital for ten days."

"In winter, heavy snow blocks the roads, and Hanjia Village becomes like an isolated village. There are few people on the road from the state capital to Hanjia Village."

"Fortunately, I was able to buy everything I need for the New Year this time. If I had waited until almost New Year to go to the state capital, it would have been exhausting."

Xu Miao was also curious about how he could go to Dingzhou City in winter. He grabbed a handful of melon seeds and placed them on the round table in front of Aunt Han, while reaching out to take the iron egg from Aunt Han's arms.

"Auntie, how can we get to Dingzhou City in winter?"

Aunt Han cracked some melon seeds and said with a smile, "How should we go? We'll take a carriage. We'll need to prepare some dry food for the journey, bring a thick quilt, and also some firewood in the carriage so we can light a fire along the way."

"I slept in the carriage at night, covered with a quilt. When I was young, I went to Dingzhou City once in winter."

"That journey was extremely difficult. If I weren't young, I wouldn't be able to endure the fatigue."

"Ah, I don't know if your uncle Han can bear this trip. He is old."

When Aunt Han talked about this, she felt sorry for Village Chief Han.

Xu Miao also lamented that transportation in ancient times was really inconvenient. If there was a rest station on the road, it would be able to relieve the fatigue of the journey.

"Auntie, there's no inn on the road. If there's an inn on the road, at least people can take a break."

Aunt Han: "There used to be an inn on this road. It was called an inn, but it was actually just a family home."

"There was a big house that provided some hot water and accommodation. Later, for some reason, the family stopped doing it."

"His big house is still there by the road, but it's been abandoned for a long time."

"No matter how dilapidated this house is, as long as there are people living in it, there will be popularity. This house will not be able to reach that point. No matter how good a house is, without popularity, it is useless and will collapse in a few years."

Probably because there were too few people traveling along the way and there were not many guests in the inn, so the inn was closed.

Xu Miao smiled and said, "When our Hanjia Village becomes prosperous and more people come and go, we can open an inn halfway. This will save us the trouble of going all the way to Dingzhou City."

Aunt Han's face was full of envy: "That would be great! If I could open an inn, I would be the proprietress. A Miao, do you think I'd win?"

"The boss lady only hires people if they are young and pretty."

Aunt Han really wanted to try being a proprietress. She remembered that in many shops in Dingzhou City, there were proprietresses busy greeting customers. The proprietresses were busy coming and going, and their feet were very fast. Aunt Han envied them a lot when she was young.

Seeing that Aunt Han envied this, Xu Miao said, "When there's a chance in the future, I'll definitely build an inn for Aunt Han so that she can experience the life of a landlady."

The few of them laughed and joked for the whole morning. When it was time to prepare lunch, Aunt Han took Tiedan home and went to make lunch for her son.

She also has to take care of her two sons at home. When Village Chief Han is not at home, the eldest son of the Han family is in charge of the village affairs.

Early in the morning, Han Lao Da and Han Lao Si went to each household to notify them to pack up their belongings and wait for Village Chief Han and others to come back with felt cloth for repairing the houses, and then they began to repair the houses.

Not only did he have to notify each household to pack up their things, but he also had to take the villagers to the woods to cut some suitable wood.

Repairing the house requires using wood to reinforce the felt cloth. Boss Han is busier in the village than Village Chief Han is in the city.

Boss Han works carefully and steadily, and definitely acts like a big brother.

Hanjia Village is also very satisfied with this eldest son. If nothing unexpected happens, this Han Lao Da will be the next village chief of Hanjia Village.
