After time travel, share a space with your modern family.

When Ruan Mumu came out of the space, it was still that stinky, shabby toilet. She left quickly, and put the grain seeds and cup back into the space first, because she hadn't figured out what kind of excuse to use to explain the origin of the grain seeds.

"Mumu, why did it take you so long to come back?" Chen Donghua asked as soon as she saw Ruan Mumu return from outside.

Ruan Mumu said a little guiltyly, "Mom, I went to the toilet just now and I smelled like that all over. I left outside to let the smell dissipate before I came back."

Hearing her say that, Chen Donghua didn't ask any more questions. She looked at the wound on her forehead and asked, "Mumu, does your wound still hurt? Let me check if it's still bleeding."

After saying that, he carefully lifted the medicine packet on Ruan Mumu's forehead to check. He had only lifted it a little bit when he saw that the wound had already healed. So he removed the entire medicine packet and said with surprise, "Mumu, your wound has healed so quickly! Doctor Liu's medicine is really effective! That hundred coins was definitely worth it."

Ruan Mumu knew, of course, that the wound had healed. After all, she had already witnessed the effects of drinking a cup of spiritual spring water. However, she hadn't taken off the medicine pack to avoid arousing suspicion at home. Now that her mother had taken it off, there was no reason to put it back on.

I silently apologized to Dr. Liu in my heart, since he had taken the blame for me.

Ruan Mumu echoed Chen Donghua, saying, "Yes, Dr. Liu's medical skills are truly superb."

When Chen Donghua saw her daughter return, she picked up a wooden carrying pole and prepared to go out. She said to Ruan Mumu, "Mumu, I'm going up the mountain to pick some wild vegetables. You rest well at home."

Ruan Mumu had originally planned to go up the mountain together, but then she remembered that the grain seeds hadn't been taken out yet, so she gave up the idea of ​​going up the mountain with her. So she obediently nodded and said, "Mother, you go ahead, I'll go up the mountain with you in a couple of days."

After Chen Donghua left, leaving Ruan Mumu alone at home, she locked the door and went into her spatial dimension.

She knew that her two older brothers had gone out to work and wouldn't be back until evening, and her mother wouldn't be back anytime soon either.

Ruan Mumu entered the space and leisurely cooked lunch for herself.

I set an alarm for an hour, intending to take a nap. After all, I either couldn't sleep last night or was busy working on my online space. Now that I'm full, all I want to do is sleep.

She was comfortably asleep in her own bed, and fell asleep the moment she closed her eyes. When the alarm rang, Ruan Mumu sat up in bed and stared blankly for a while before realizing that she had entered the space to sleep. So she hurriedly folded the quilt, sensed that no one was outside the space, and then appeared in the ancient room.

She tossed the bag of grain seeds onto the bed and waited for the rest of the family to return.

As evening approached, Chen Donghua returned carrying half a bundle of wild vegetables on a shoulder pole. When the family divided their property, the old woman hadn't even been willing to give them a basket.

Seeing Chen Donghua return, Ruan Mumu pretended to be excited and said to her, "Mom, I have something good to show you."

After saying that, Ruan Mumu dragged Chen Donghua into the room. She excitedly opened the black cloth bag and said, "Mom, this is something good I saw on the beam of our room today. Look, this is rice. Our seedlings were destroyed, but we can still replant them now. We'll be a little later than others."

Chen Donghua was not happy to see the grain seeds. Instead, she said with a stern face, "You found them on the roof beam? This is the ancestral hall. We can't just take things from the clan!"

Ruan Mumu couldn't help but secretly roll her eyes. They were starving, so why did they care if it belonged to the clan? But she didn't dare to say it directly. Instead, she suggested, "Mother, how about I ask my eldest brother to go to the clan chief and ask if we can lend it to our family first? We can pay it back double after the autumn harvest. What do you think?"

Chen Donghua thought about it and decided to plant first. She could always pay back more after the autumn harvest. In this day and age, survival is the most important thing. So she nodded and agreed.

Chen Donghua took the rice seeds, still in the bag, to the courtyard, got a wooden bucket, poured the rice seeds in, added water to soak them, then poured them out into a black cloth bag and placed it in a corner next to the courtyard, waiting for the rice seeds to sprout.

After doing all that, Chen Donghua started cooking. Dinner was wild vegetable porridge. Chen Donghua went to start the fire, and Ruan Mumu helped wash the wild vegetables.

After dinner was ready, Ruan Xiaojun and Ruan Xiaohai returned home after sunset.

"Big brother, second brother, you're back. Dinner is ready, hurry up and wash your hands and eat!" Ruan Mumu greeted them as they entered.

"Okay." The two put down what they were carrying: one was a shovel, and the other was a carrying pole with a basket.

These items were lent to their family by kind villagers during yesterday's division of property. The reason was that Old Lady Zhang only gave them a few broken bowls and half a bag of rice, nothing else. The villagers couldn't lend them money, but they could at least lend them some items to help them through this difficult time.

The group stood and ate their food, holding their bowls. This time, Ruan Mumu didn't ask them to serve her more porridge. Instead, she scooped up some of the porridge water herself. She had eaten in her space that afternoon and couldn't eat much at all, especially since she had no appetite for the porridge.

"Mumu, why did you only serve such a small amount?" Chen Donghua asked with concern.

Ruan Mumu replied, "Mom, you eat more. I'm not hungry at all staying at home."

"Little sister, eat more! You only ate a little this morning, how can you not be hungry? Is something wrong?" Ruan Xiaohai asked with concern.

"Second brother, I'm really not hungry. You've worked hard all day, eat more." Ruan Mumu replied. To change the subject, she deliberately lowered her voice and told them about finding the grain seeds. Ruan Xiaojun and Ruan Xiaohai both looked surprised.

Fearing they wouldn't believe her, Ruan Mumu led them to a corner of the courtyard to see the black cloth bag and said, "Mother has soaked the rice seeds herself. It's hot today, so I estimate we can start planting the seedlings again before sunset tomorrow. Eldest brother, second brother, you should go and prepare the original seedling patch tomorrow morning!"

When Ruan Xiaojun and Ruan Xiaohai saw that there were indeed new rice seeds, they both smiled and nodded.

The next morning, after the family finished breakfast, Ruan Xiaojun and Ruan Xiaohai went to the fields to tend to the rice seedlings, while Chen Donghua went to check on the work in her own field.

When Ruan Mumu was alone at home again, she locked the door and went back into her spatial dimension, her mind preoccupied with the spiritual spring water.

She first cooked herself a simple meal, then collected some spiritual spring water, planning to bring it out and sprinkle it on the rice seeds to promote their rapid growth.

After finishing all this, Ruan Mumu came out of the space. After all, she had to take advantage of her family's absence and quickly water the rice seeds with the spiritual spring water.

No one else returned at noon. It wasn't until 5 PM that Chen Donghua entered the house, and Ruan Xiaohai followed her home.

"Mother, I've come back to get rice seeds to grow in the fields." Ruan Xiaohai wiped the sweat from his forehead, a little out of breath.

Chen Donghua handed the black cloth bag to Ruan Xiaohai and instructed, "Make sure to press the rice seeds into the soil, otherwise they won't survive, understand?"

Ruan Xiaohai took the bag, nodded, and said, "Mother, I understand." Then he went out again.

Ruan Mumu came out of the room and said, "Mom, you're back. I'll cook for you."

Chen Donghua didn't say anything, after all, farm children all start working from a young age. Ruan Mumu had been helping with chores since she was four years old, because if she didn't work, she wouldn't have anything to eat.

"Mother, I'm much better now. I'd like to go up the mountain with you tomorrow," Ruan Mumu said to Chen Donghua while washing wild vegetables.

"If you don't feel uncomfortable, then come along!" Chen Donghua said calmly. She knew that's how it was for farm children; as long as they weren't bedridden, they all had to work. The reason Mumu was able to rest for a day was because his family had separated from the main family, and everyone felt sorry for the youngest child.

Hearing her mother say this, Ruan Mumu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Starting tomorrow, she, Ruan Mumu, could use going into the mountains as an excuse to use the things in her space to lead her family to a better life. Just thinking about it made her feel wonderful.
