Quick Transmigration: I Actually Became a System Bug

"Ah Chun, didn't you and Young Master Shi go back to the school? Why are you back so soon?"

The first to speak was Ji Lihua, the second daughter of Ji Lao Er, who was also Ji Chun and Ji Han's cousin.

“Sister Lihua, we brought my brother and young master with us this time. They haven’t been out to play before.”

Yes, in the eyes of the villagers, scholars were very precious. Shi Xiucai was a scholar, and his two sons were called the eldest son and the youngest son, respectively.

Actually, calling him that isn't wrong. Although Shi Xiucai was just a scholar, his family's living conditions were quite good. If he relied solely on his meager teaching fees, it would certainly be impossible to support the expenses of such a large family.

Moreover, the scholar's wife's usual demeanor clearly indicated that she came from a wealthy family. Ordinary poor scholars could not afford to marry such a lady. It's just a mystery why these two people settled in Gutang Village with their servants many years ago.

Pear Blossom looked at the two little ones next to Ji Chun with great curiosity.

"Are these Little Han and Young Master?"

The other children around also turned their attention to the two of them, and some of them even started talking about them as soon as possible.

"You're Ah Chun's younger brother. I heard your parents sold you to a scholar's family. You're so young, and you already have to work for the scholar's family?"

Ji Han...

"Snapped!"

"Donkey egg! Don't talk nonsense!"

The skinny, dark-skinned boy had barely finished asking his question when the older girl next to him slapped him on the face.

“Brother Chun, don’t listen to Donkey Egg’s nonsense. He doesn’t know anything and is just spouting nonsense.”

What else could Ji Han do? If he were truly a three-year-old soul, he could cry and make a fuss, but unfortunately he wasn't. He could only silently choose to forgive.

"It's okay, it's okay, don't hit him anymore, I don't care."

"By the way, what were you doing just now? Were you picking peach blossoms?"

Upon hearing Ji Han's question, the children suddenly snapped out of their daze.

"Oh! Right, we still need to pick peach blossoms. Ah Chun, I'm not going to talk to you guys anymore, you guys play by yourselves!"

As soon as Lihua finished speaking, the children who had just gathered there scattered in an instant. Ji Han and the others stared at their busy figures, momentarily stunned.

"Brother, do they always love picking peach blossoms like this?"

Ji Chun shook his head in confusion. Just then, a child passing by kindly replied to the group.

"That's because a carriage just passed by here. The nobleman in the carriage saw that the peach blossoms were blooming beautifully and offered to buy some. Don't underestimate this small basket of peach blossoms; it can be exchanged for two coins with that nobleman!"

After saying that, the child rushed off to the next peach tree. Ji Chun, upon hearing this, thought he couldn't miss out on such a good opportunity to make money. He darted out of the peach grove and soon returned with several small and exquisite bamboo baskets. He placed them in front of Ji Han and the others, then took his own and went to pick peach blossoms.

Shi Shaoheng looked left and right, and finally resigned himself to picking up a basket from the ground and joining the group. Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu, who were left behind, exchanged a glance and decisively left the peach grove, taking Siqi and Shishu with them to head back. They wanted to continue exploring this ancient village.

Gutang Village is very close to the town. As a result, if you walk a little further out from the peach grove at the entrance of the village, you can reach the main road to the town. The road is wide and flat, and it is obvious that it has been specially repaired by the government.

Walking back from the peach grove, after passing several farmlands, you arrive at the school. Further in, there are houses of varying heights. The entire Gutang Village is roughly square, with three wide and neat main roads.

One road runs east-west, which is the same road that Ji Han and his friends just walked along in front of the school. The other two roads run north-south. Countless smaller roads extend from both sides of the two main roads. These wide and narrow lines converge to form the present-day Gutang Village.

Ji Han and his companion didn't have much time to explore the side streets. They walked along the three main roads, and the two little ones were already exhausted. After all, they were small with short legs, and their previous exercise was limited.

Finally, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu stopped in front of the Ji family's gate.

Like most families in the village, the Ji family lived in a low mud-brick house. Walking through the small wooden gate, the first thing you saw was three main rooms. On the far left lived Old Man Ji and Mrs. Li. In the middle was the main room, which was also where the family ate or entertained guests. On the right was the kitchen.

There were three rooms on each side of the courtyard. The room next to the main house on the left was where the eldest son of the Ji family and his wife, Zhang, lived. The three grandsons of the Ji family lived in the middle room: Ji Yuan from the eldest son's family, Ji Ming from the second son's family, and Ji Chun from the third son's family. The remaining room was where the two granddaughters of the Ji family lived: Ji Taohua from the eldest son's family and Ji Lihua from the second son's family.

The three rooms on the left are: the one next to the main house is where Ji Lao Er and his wife Wang live; the middle one is where Ji Lao San and his wife Bai live; and the last one is currently a storage room.

In addition, a small shed was built in the southwest corner of the yard, which served as the family's outhouse. Several chicken coops were also built against the south wall, where a few hens were quietly pecking at their food.

Ji Han and his group arrived at the wrong time. Most of the Ji family members were either working in the fields or out playing, so the whole courtyard was quiet.

Perhaps hearing the noise in the courtyard, two soft coughs came from the main house, followed by the sound of rustling footsteps. As the door opened, a short but kind-faced old lady appeared before them.

"You are?"

This time, Ji Han spoke first, before Shi Shaoyu.

"Grandma, it's me, Ji Han, the second son of Ji Laosan."

This was the second time Li had seen Ji Han since he was born. The first time was when Ji Han was born. At that time, Li witnessed Ji Han not breathing during the entire process from leaving his mother's body to being carried away by Ji Laosan.

Li was heartbroken that her grandson had died shortly after birth. However, the idea of ​​him coming back to life was too fantastical and too hard for her to accept. As a result, she didn't visit Shi Xiucai's house once for three whole years. At home, she deliberately avoided mentioning Ji Han and simply pretended that she didn't have this grandson.

However, at this moment, her neglected grandson stood there prettily before her. For a moment, Madam Li didn't know what expression to make. She stiffly forced a smile, and an uncharacteristic awkwardness appeared on her usually kind and gentle face.

"Ah, it's Xiaohan. And is that the young master from the scholar's family? What are you children doing here?"

After saying that, Li realized that her question might have been a bit off.

"Ah, well... since you're home, Xiao Han, why don't you bring the young master in and have a seat?"

Ji Han, of course, noticed Li's discomfort. He smiled and replied politely in return.

"No, Grandma, we've been out for quite a while now. I'm afraid my mother and the others will worry if we go back too late. You go ahead and do your work, Grandma. We'll head back now."

After saying that, Ji Han took Shi Shaoyu's little hand and, with his short legs, turned and walked out of the Ji family home.
