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

When the carriage returned to the doorstep, Chen Donghua came out of the house. Seeing the brother and sister about to get off, she quickly called out, "Xiaojun, Mumu, take the things directly to your Aunt Donglan's house! During the construction of our house, we'll cook at your aunt's. It's not convenient for us to cook here. I've already talked to your thirteenth grandmother (Chen Donglan's mother-in-law), and we'll use their kitchen to cook. Whatever the workers eat for lunch, they'll eat too. Also, I'll give Aunt Donglan and thirteenth grandmother fifteen coins each for cooking lunch."

After hearing Chen Donghua's words, Ruan Mumu got out of the car, walked to Chen Donghua's side, and said with a smile, "Mom, you've arranged everything perfectly. This arrangement is great. Don't worry too much about money. I'll take care of making money."

Chen Donghua was touched by her daughter's words, smiled shyly, and said, "How can the family's income be entirely dependent on you, a girl?"

Ruan Mumu whispered in Chen Donghua's ear, "Mother, have you forgotten that I have many treasures that can be exchanged for money? I earn money much more easily than you, so Mother, don't worry about making money. Just wait to enjoy your daughter's blessings! Don't work too hard on yourself. Take a good rest when you need to. At worst, we can pay someone to do it."

Chen Donghua patted Ruan Mumu's head, her eyes full of relief, "Good child, you've really grown up. Your mother is so lucky, it's a pity your father passed away early and couldn't enjoy his daughter's happiness..."

Seeing the sadness on Chen Donghua's face, Ruan Mumu quickly interrupted her mother and said, "Mother, don't worry, my eldest brother, second brother, and I will definitely take good care of you in the future."

Hearing Ruan Mumu's words, Chen Donghua couldn't help but laugh. "You're such a sensible child, it's heartbreaking. Alright then, you'll have to take care of things around the house from now on. By the way, did you buy anything good to eat in town today?"

Ruan Mumu smiled happily, "Of course, I bought a few packs of pastries, as well as some pork, ribs and pig's feet."

As she spoke, she called out to Ruan Xiaojun, "Brother, bring down the snacks, ribs, and pig's feet. We'll keep them for dinner tonight."

Following Ruan Mumu's instructions, Ruan Xiaojun unloaded the items from the carriage, came to Chen Donghua, and handed her a packet of pastries, saying, "Mother, this is for you. Try it and see if it's good."

Chen Donghua took the bag, opened it, and saw that it contained peanut brittle, her favorite snack, which she hadn't had in a long time.

Her eyes welled up with tears as she said, "Xiaojun, Mumu, you are both so filial, thank you."

Ruan Mumu gently patted Chen Donghua's hand and comforted her, "Mom, why are you thanking us? We are your children, and it's only right that we take care of you. As long as you like it, I will buy it for you often in the future."

Chen Donghua nodded, a happy smile spreading across her face. She felt that her child had truly grown up, not only knowing how to care for his family but also being so filial.

"Mother, we went to Sister Jinhua's house first and gave her a bag of pastries and a piece of pork." Ruan Mumu explained about delivering the pastries and pork.

Upon hearing this, Chen Donghua's face immediately lit up with a bright smile, her eyes filled with relief and joy. She looked at Ruan Xiaojun and said softly, "That's right! You should learn to be filial to your future in-laws."

Ruan Xiaojun felt embarrassed after his mother's words. He scratched the back of his head and said shyly, "It was Mumu who thought of sending it over, I didn't..."

Hearing her brother say this, Ruan Mumu quickly spoke up to explain for him: "Mother, my brother knows, he's just a little embarrassed to say it. And he will definitely be as filial to his future in-laws as he is to you in the future."

After saying that, Ruan Mumu nudged Ruan Xiaojun with her elbow and winked at him, indicating that he should agree.

"Yes, Mom, I understand." Ruan Xiaojun understood his sister's good intentions, smiled and nodded, responding in agreement. Then he picked up his things and went into the house.

Seeing that the relationship between the two siblings was even better than before, Chen Donghua smiled with satisfaction. She felt that her efforts had not been in vain and hoped that this harmonious atmosphere could continue.

Just then, Chen Donglan's voice came from afar: "Big sister... have Xiaojun and the others returned?" Immediately afterwards, a figure walked over from a distance.

After Chen Donglan walked over, she saw Ruan Mumu and Chen Donghua together. She smiled and said to Ruan Mumu, "Mumu, you're back from town?"

Ruan Mumu nodded gently and replied, "Yes, Aunt Donglan." Her voice revealed a hint of fatigue, but she still maintained her politeness.

Chen Donghua took a piece of peanut brittle out of the paper package and handed it to Chen Donglan. Chen Donglan took it without hesitation and took a small bite. While chewing the peanut brittle, she said to Chen Donghua, "Big sister, they're getting ready to start cooking over there. My mother-in-law just went to pick some vegetables and came back."

Chen Donghua nodded, indicating that she understood. She thought to herself that she needed to hurry back to help with the cooking so as not to keep everyone waiting too long. At the same time, she was also grateful for Chen Donglan's reminder, which allowed her to handle the household chores promptly.

Ruan Mumu stood quietly to the side, watching the exchange between the two elders.

She felt the warmth and affection of family, and a surge of emotion welled up in her heart. Although life was not wealthy, these heartwarming moments made her feel incredibly happy.

Ruan Xiaojun came out of the house. When Chen Donghua saw him, she quickly called out to him, "Xiaojun, hurry up and take the things to your thirteenth grandmother's house. We need to prepare lunch quickly."

Ruan Xiaojun agreed and quickly walked towards the carriage, preparing to transport the goods to Chen Donglan's house.

At this moment, Ruan Mumu also came out of the house, holding a bag of pastries in her hand. She went straight to Chen Donglan and handed her the pastries: "Aunt Donglan, please take this bag of pastries back for the children to try."

Chen Donglan declined somewhat embarrassedly, saying, "Mumu, you should keep such valuable things for yourselves!"

Hearing this, Chen Donghua quickly chimed in, "Oh, take it! It's just a small token of our appreciation." With that, she took the pastries and insisted on putting them into Chen Donglan's arms.

Seeing that she couldn't refuse, Chen Donglan had no choice but to accept the paper package with both hands, and said to Ruan Mumu with emotion, "Mumu, then Auntie thanks you on behalf of the children."

Ruan Xiaojun had already turned the carriage around and shouted to the crowd, "Are you all ready? Get in the carriage!"

So, Chen Donghua pulled Chen Donglan and Ruan Mumu into the carriage.

The carriage was loaded with various grains and seasonings bought in town that day, as well as pork and offal. With the sound of hooves, they set off for Chen Donghua's house.

The journey wasn't long, just a few minutes' walk, and soon the carriage stopped outside Chen Donglan's house.

Chen Donglan jumped off the carriage and called into the house, "Xiaoshan, Xiaoguan, come out quickly and help move things."

Soon, two boys of similar age to Ruan Mumu ran out of the house. Ruan Mumu knew that these were Chen Donglan's sons. The two brothers looked similar in age, but they were not actually twins. They were just a year apart and looked about the same age, one thirteen and the other twelve.

"Brother Xiaojun, is this your family's new carriage?" Ruan Xiaoshan asked curiously as he saw Ruan Xiaojun taking things out of the carriage.

Ruan Xiaojun said with a smile, "Yes, I just bought it in the county town yesterday."

Ruan Xiaoguan said with envy, "Brother Xiaojun, your horse is really good-looking. Could you teach me how to drive a horse-drawn carriage sometime?"

"What's wrong with you, child? Why are you clinging to Xiaojun?" After carrying things into the house, Chen Donglan saw her youngest son talking about asking Ruan Xiaojun to teach him how to drive a horse-drawn carriage, so she scolded him in a low voice.

"Aunt Donglan, it's alright. When we have time, I'll have my older brother teach them. Maybe when we're busy, we can have them run errands for us!" Ruan Mumu said with a smile.

Hearing Ruan Mumu say that, Chen Donglan felt embarrassed to scold her sons any further and continued moving things.

Just as everyone was busy moving things, an old woman came running from afar carrying a basket. As she ran, she shouted in the direction of the carriage, "Ruan Xiaojun, you unfilial grandson, what are you moving to someone else's house? You have good things but don't come to show your respect to your grandmother. This is extremely unfilial and you will be struck by lightning."
