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

"Mumu, get up and have breakfast!" Ruan Mumu was still asleep when she heard a gentle voice calling her. It was Chen Donghua's voice.

Ruan Mumu went to bed late last night, and with the bed curtains around her and her sleeping separately from Chen Donghua, the outside light wasn't as bright as usual, so she slept soundly.

After hearing the voice calling her to get up, she couldn't sleep any longer. Opening her sleepy eyes, Ruan Mumu stretched and replied, "Mother, I'm coming."

Soon the family of four sat down at the table for breakfast. In addition to congee, they also had braised pork from yesterday, which was their most lavish breakfast ever.

"Mother, didn't you say you'd find a matchmaker to go to Sister Jinhua's house today?" Ruan Mumu asked while stirring the porridge in her bowl.

Chen Donghua exclaimed "Oh dear!" and quickly put down her bowl and ran outside. Then she turned back and reminded them, "Remember to clear the table when you're done eating. Don't wait for me."

Watching Chen Donghua's hurried departure, Ruan Mumu couldn't help but laugh. She thought her mother was still somewhat adorable. In the past, under the tyranny of that wicked old woman, her original nature had been buried, and she had lived in constant fear. Now, she could finally make her own decisions and be herself from now on.

Not long after breakfast, Ruan Dongyang and Ruan Donghuai arrived at the Ruan Family Ancestral Hall to find Ruan Mumu and the others.

"Uncle Dongyang and Uncle Donghuai are here? Come in and sit down." Ruan Mumu greeted them as she washed the dishes by the courtyard.

The two walked in and sat on the chairs in the corridor. Ruan Dongyang asked, "Mumu, where is your mother? She said yesterday that she wanted us to come over this morning."

"Uncle Dongyang, Uncle Donghuai, have you had breakfast? We just finished eating, would you like some more?" Ruan Mumu finished clearing away the dishes and came over to sit down on the chair next to the two of them.

"No need to trouble yourself, we've already eaten," Ruan Dongyang quickly waved his hand and said. He knew this family was struggling financially and didn't want to cause them any trouble.

“My mother went out for something, but it was mainly my idea to have you all come. It’s the same if I tell you,” Ruan Mumu explained.

Hearing the commotion, Ruan Xiaojun and Ruan Xiaohai came out of the room and greeted the two men, saying, "Uncle Dongyang, Uncle Donghuai, you've arrived!"

"Second brother, could you please boil some water and make some tea? Come over quickly too, my eldest brother and I need to talk to our two uncles about our requirements for the new house," Ruan Mumu instructed.

Ruan Xiaohai went to boil water happily.

“Uncle Dongyang, I’ve heard you’re quite skilled at building houses, so let me share my thoughts first,” Ruan Mumu said.

"No, I just worked with their construction team when they built the house," Ruan Dongyang said modestly, scratching his head sheepishly.

"Uncle Dongyang, please don't be modest! We just bought a mountain, and we don't have a house to live in right now, so we want to build one as soon as possible. My idea is to build a two-courtyard house, of course, it has to be a brick and tile house. Uncle Dongyang, you can bring people to work with us or help us find a professional construction team, I only trust you, and I'd like you to oversee the project. What do you think of this?" Ruan Mumu explained her idea.

Then she took out a blueprint of a two-courtyard house from her pocket and showed it to Ruan Dongyang. Ruan Mumu had found it online and printed it out last night while she was in her space. However, in order not to be too unconventional, Ruan Mumu traced it with charcoal.

Ruan Donghuai and Ruan Xiaojun curiously leaned forward to look at the blueprints together. It was a sheet of paper of a different size, and the quality of the paper was something that did not exist in this world. It was not only smooth, but also very delicate and flat. Most importantly, it was astonishingly white. This world could not produce paper of such high quality. They were very curious.

"What are you looking at?" Ruan Xiaohai brought over the teapot and cups, placed them on the table, and then curiously gathered around. When they saw the beautiful floor plan and the structure drawn on it, they were all stunned.

"Little sister, is this what our new home looks like?" Ruan Xiaohai asked excitedly.

Ruan Mumu nodded: "Yes! What do you think of these designs? Do you like them? I spent a lot of time putting them together!"

Looking at the blueprints, Ruan Xiaohai's eyes lit up with delight. He thought the design was excellent and would make his family's living conditions much more comfortable. So he asked, "Little sister, how big is this yard?"

Ruan Mumu thought for a moment and replied, "Hmm... If it can be built according to the blueprints, it will probably be about two and a half acres of land! Big brother, second brother, you will also be getting married and having children, so you need enough space. I also want to build a small garden where I can plant some flowers and plants to make the whole yard look more beautiful. It will also be convenient for your children to play in the garden in the future." Ruan Mumu said with great interest.

"Mumu, are you sure you want to build such a big house? It must cost a lot of money! Do you have that much money?" Ruan Dongyang asked.

Ruan Donghuai chimed in, "Yes? Do you have that much money? What did your mother say?"

Although Ruan Xiaojun and Ruan Xiaohai knew that there were still more than four hundred taels of silver in the family, they didn't know if it was enough to build such a big house, and they looked at Ruan Mumu with questioning expressions.

"Don't worry, Uncle Dongyang, as long as the location is suitable, we'll build it this way. Don't worry about the money; I'll find a way to solve it," Ruan Mumu said with a calm smile.

Then she looked at Ruan Donghuai and said, "Uncle Donghuai, I heard that your carpentry skills are also quite good. We'll entrust the furniture making work to you. Would you be willing to take it on? You can find someone to do it with you, or you can subcontract it out, as long as you guarantee the quality."

Ruan Donghuai looked at Ruan Mumu with an incredulous expression and asked in surprise, "Mumu, are you sure you want to contract all of these out to me?"

“Of course, we know nothing about this. You are all trustworthy people, so we will have to ask you two uncles to help us with building the house and making the furniture,” Ruan Mumu said sincerely.

Ruan Dongyang and Ruan Donghuai both had beaming faces, unable to hide their joy.
