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

After tasting the delicious canned food, Dr. Liu's questions deepened.

He really couldn't understand what kind of extraordinary encounter Ruan Mumu had to have so many strange things.

After all, he had watched Ruan Mumu grow up since she was a child, and she wasn't anything special when she was young. However, everything seemed to have changed after Ruan Mumu was beaten up by Old Lady Zhang.

Ruan Xiaojun's family also began to stand out from the crowd.

“Mumu, I’ve only ever seen apples, hawthorns, and oranges. I’ve never seen any other fruits before. If we can find these saplings, they will be absolutely unique in Beisheng Kingdom. They will definitely be priceless.” Doctor Liu proposed his idea, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Hmm... I'll see if I can find any. If I can, I'll plant them all on the hill behind my house." Ruan Mumu answered vaguely while eating her favorite canned yellow peaches.

She thought to herself: These are all common fruits in modern times, but they are not here. It seems that next time I go to the space to meet my parents, I must write down this plan to find saplings and plant more fruits that are not here so that I can sell them for a good price.

Thinking of this, she popped another bite of canned food into her mouth, a satisfied smile spreading across her face.

"Oh... Uncle Liu, I forgot I came here to talk to you." Ruan Mumu said, and as she used her chopsticks to pick up the last piece of canned yellow peaches, Liu Ziyun also reached out his chopsticks to grab it.

"What do you want from me?" Doctor Liu asked while eating.

"This last piece is mine. You can eat it if you want." Seeing that Liu Ziyun was about to snatch the last piece of yellow peach, Ruan Mumu used her own chopsticks to knock away the chopsticks Liu Ziyun was extending.

"No, you eat something else, this is mine." After Liu Ziyun's chopsticks were knocked away, he simply stopped using them and reached in to grab them.

Dr. Liu was completely stunned by Liu Ziyun's actions.

His nephew, for the sake of a meager meal, was even capable of resorting to robbery, and he was a prince at that.

Ruan Mumu also lost her appetite after Liu Ziyun's actions, so she put down her chopsticks and stopped eating.

"Uncle Liu, let's go back to the village tomorrow! There are still many things to do at home!"

"Our pill-making workshop needs to be built, our school needs to be built urgently, and there's also the matter of clearing land to plant herbs next spring..." Ruan Mumu felt a headache coming on just thinking about all the things waiting for her to do.

After all, I'm still just a thirteen-year-old kid!

In her parents' eyes, thirteen years old is the age when she should be starting junior high school and still be able to act spoiled in her parents' arms, but here she has to shoulder everything.

After thinking for a moment, Dr. Liu decided that things had basically stabilized here, so for now, they would open the daily necessities store first, and the pharmacy could open later once the pill workshop was built and put into production.

For now, we just need to leave a reliable person here to keep watch.

"Wait a moment, I'll go ask Uncle Li if his son can stay here and help out. I'll get back to you later." After saying that, Doctor Liu left the room to find Butler Li.

Ruan Mumu was lost in her own thoughts, while Liu Ziyun continued eating canned food beside her.

"Girl, where did you get all these things from?" Liu Ziyun couldn't help but ask.

He was incredibly curious; these were things he had never heard of or seen before.

He, a favored prince of the Northern Sheng Kingdom, had never even heard of canned food, yet this woman suddenly produced so many varieties.

"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. Even food can't shut you up. Don't bother me while I'm thinking." Ruan Mumu rolled her eyes at Liu Ziyun and continued to drift off into her own thoughts.

After discussing it with Steward Li, Dr. Liu and Steward Li decided to leave Steward Li's son, Li Shu, to look after the shop in the county town.

The reasons are simple: firstly, Li Shu is literate; secondly, he knows how to do accounting; and most importantly, he used to help Prince Qing manage his business outside the Prince's residence.

Although Li Shu repeatedly declined, saying that he hadn't been involved in these matters for ten years, he finally agreed to stay in the county town with encouragement from Dr. Liu. All five members of his family stayed to help.

It just so happens that Li Shu's two children can also find a school in the county town to attend.

When Dr. Liu returned to the room, he saw his nephew still happily eating, while Ruan Mumu was lost in thought.

"Let's head back first thing tomorrow morning! I'll have Uncle Li's son, Li Shu, and his family stay in the county town to help look after the shop," Doctor Liu said.

Ruan Mumu quickly regained her senses after Dr. Liu spoke.

"Then I'll have my second brother stay here for now and learn more from Uncle Li Shu."

After agreeing on their departure time for the next day, Ruan Mumu left first, without even glancing at Liu Ziyun.

Doctor Liu lightly tapped Liu Ziyun's head and scolded, "You don't even care about your image in front of girls. Where is your former upbringing?"

Liu Ziyun touched his forehead, which had been tapped by his third uncle, and muttered, "Is there anything more important than eating?"

Doctor Liu shook his head helplessly and said, "How can you find a woman who likes you when you're like this?"

"If I can't find you, I can't find you! If I can't find you, I'll come find you to keep me company, since you're all alone anyway," Liu Ziyun said with a chuckle.

After leaving Doctor Liu's room, Ruan Mumu went to find Ruan Xiaohai and told him about her plan to go home early the next morning, and also told him that she would stay here and study with Li Shu.

The next morning, as dawn broke and before the sun had risen, Ruan Mumu and Doctor Liu led a group of servants on their way back to Jinwan Village.

"Wait for me... Stop the carriage! Why didn't you call me?" A figure leaped towards the rapidly moving carriage.

At that moment, the one rushing over was none other than the down-on-his-luck prince, Liu Ziyun.

When Liu Ziyun woke up, he found that there was only one carriage left in the courtyard, and several servants were also missing.

Remembering that his third uncle said last night that he would be returning to the village early this morning, I guess they really have forgotten about him.

He inquired with the servants about the time when Doctor Liu and his group had set off, and calculated that they should still be in the city. If he ran after them, he should be able to catch up at the city gate.

Seeing their carriage approaching the city gate for inspection from afar, Liu Ziyun quickly ran over.

Ruan Mumu's carriage stopped at the city gate. She got off the carriage and prepared to be inspected.

Seeing Liu Ziyun panting, he looked at him teasingly and said, "Hehe...you're not slow at all. I thought you, young master, were going to sleep until noon!"

"You deliberately didn't wait for me?" Liu Ziyun was furious.

Last night, he ate all the canned food that Ruan Mumu brought over because he was greedy. As a result, he had an upset stomach when he went to bed and went to the toilet five times during the night.

"Serves you right for being greedy, now you've learned your lesson, haven't you?" Doctor Liu also got off another carriage.

"Third Uncle...you don't even call me that." Liu Ziyun looked at Doctor Liu with a pitiful expression.

"Shh... Call me Dad. Have you forgotten? You're sixteen years old now, and you're my son, Liu Ziyun," Doctor Liu whispered a reminder.

Liu Ziyun immediately realized that his new identity was now Liu Ziyun.

If he were exposed, those who came specifically to ambush him would only become more frantic in their pursuit once they knew he was alive.

"Oh... Father, how could you abandon me?" Liu Ziyun could only change his words and ask.

"You've come all this way!" Doctor Liu said.

"What if I hadn't noticed and hadn't chased after them?"

“We’ll be back in a couple of days,” Ruan Mumu said from the side.

"Master, Miss, you can get in the carriage now." It was a maid named Xiaochun who came to call them.

The four maids she bought were named Xiaochun, Xiaoxia, Xiaoqiu, and Xiaodong. Ruan Mumu, who was terrible at naming things, didn't bother to think about it and simply used the names of spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

"Okay, I'll be right there." Ruan Mumu walked towards her carriage and, with Xiaochun's help, got in.

Liu Ziyun hurriedly tried to chase after him, but Doctor Liu grabbed her arm, asking, "What are you doing?"

"Father, I'm going to sit with that girl. She's more interesting. Besides keeping me company, she also has lots of delicious food..." Liu Ziyun tried to break free from Doctor Liu's grip because he saw that Ruan Mumu's carriage had already started moving.

Doctor Liu shook his head and poked his forehead with his finger. "Eat, eat, all you know is how to eat. You're a grown man, squeezing into a young girl's carriage. Don't you care about her reputation?"

Uh! Liu Ziyun really didn't expect this.

He knew that following Ruan Mumu meant good food, and that girl was very interesting to talk to; he never thought about the strict separation of men and women.

"Come ride in my carriage!" Doctor Liu said, pulling the distressed Liu Ziyun toward his carriage.

Meanwhile, Ruan Mumu occupied a carriage all by herself. Apart from Xiaochun driving the carriage, the other three maids and the two old women sat in a separate carriage.

"Ah! That feels so good." Ruan Mumu was taking a bowl of washed grapes out of the refrigerator in her spatial dimension. Her mother had specially prepared them for her.

Now that Ruan Mumu is outside, she can often freely take out delicious food from her spatial storage. She knows that her mother is even happier when she eats a lot.

Just as Ruan Mumu had expected, her mother, Zhang Yufang, opened the refrigerator and saw that the grapes she had prepared for her daughter were gone, which made her very happy.

She can only sense that her daughter is not far away from them through these little things.

"Honey, how many more days until we can meet?" Zhang Yufang asked Ruan Wanfu, who was cooking porridge by the stove.

Ruan Wanfu did the math and replied, "Twenty-two days left."

Zhang Yufang sighed, "Time is passing so slowly."

“We also need to find something for ourselves to do, instead of always focusing all our attention on Mumu. You should also think more about your husband, me,” Ruan Wanfu said with a smile.

"I'll hurry to the field and pick some corn for her." Zhang Yufang did as soon as she thought of it, and quickly picked up the basket and went outside.

"Sigh...this personality." Ruan Wanfu found it amusing; his wife was a woman of action.

He suddenly realized he should prepare some high-yield crop seeds for Mumu. He often heard his wife recount the essential gadgets in time-travel dramas, and he had memorized some of them.

He took out his small notebook from his pocket and quickly jotted it down.

After enjoying the fresh grapes, Ruan Mumu ate two bags of potato chips and drank a bottle of milk before closing her eyes to rest.

"Miss, Miss..." Xiaochun called out twice outside the carriage, waking Ruan Mumu from her drowsy state.

"What's wrong, Xiaochun?" Ruan Mumu rubbed her sleepy eyes and mumbled as she asked.

"Routine inspection." A man's stern voice came from outside the carriage.

Ruan Mumu stepped out of the carriage, and just as Xiaochun reached out to help her, she easily jumped down on her own.

“Big brother, it’s you guys again?” Ruan Mumu looked at this big brother and realized that he was the group of people who had checked the road a few days ago.

"You remember me?" the man asked curiously.

"Someone as handsome as my brother is definitely not someone you can forget so easily!" Ruan Mumu lied through her teeth.

Although this person wasn't ugly, they certainly weren't good-looking. But people love to hear nice things, and Ruan Mumu mainly said those things to make them sound nice.

Upon hearing this, the man blushed slightly at being praised by such a pretty young girl, and his tone became much more polite: "Then please cooperate with the routine check, young lady."

"Please, sir." Ruan Mumu gestured for him to enter, then stepped aside to wait.

The man lifted the carriage curtain and looked inside. Seeing nothing unusual, he said to Ruan Mumu, "Everything is normal. You can get in now, young lady."

"Hey, big brother, wait a minute. I have a little gift for you. Xiaochun, could you get the bag of small gifts in the cabinet?" Ruan Mumu instructed Xiaochun to get the gifts.

The small gifts were placed in the cabinet by Ruan Mumu beforehand. They were mainly small packages of soap like those provided in hotels. These things are worthless in modern times, but in ancient times, they would be considered very prestigious as gifts.

Xiaochun took as many as twenty bags, which were packed in those bags with simple icons printed on them, the kind of bags we usually use when buying clothes.

“Here, brother, here are twenty bars of this soap, the one that’s been selling like hotcakes at Qingyaxuan lately. You can share some with everyone, and the rest can all be kept for you, brother,” Ruan Mumu introduced.

Upon hearing this, the man's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Is it the soap that sells for three taels of silver?"

He had heard of this product, and his sister kept urging him to buy it, but his monthly salary was only three hundred coins. Where could he find three taels of silver to buy soap for his sister?

Now he can finally give his sister an explanation.

"The soap you mentioned is the same as this one, except that it's bigger and this one is smaller."

"Seeing you all blowing through the sand here today, I was thinking that if you took this back and took a nice, relaxing shower, all your fatigue from the day would be gone," Ruan Mumu said with a smile.

Those who came to check later overheard the conversation and quickly glanced at the carriage. Finding nothing amiss and confirming the household registration was correct, they let Ruan Mumu and her group leave.

"This girl is interesting..." A figure was hanging upside down from a tree not far away, muttering to himself.
