I travel back and forth between ancient and modern times, hoarding goods to raise my grandchildren a

Chun Tao even changed her hair accessories.

She wore a silver butterfly hairpin in her hair.

The butterflies on the dress are so lifelike, and they also echo the white gauze on the dress.

Ignoring her thin, sallow face, she seemed much more lively.

Yu Wanwan recalled the two women who had come in with her yesterday.

Although I can no longer remember which woman was Chun Tao's mother.

But in my memory, the two women were dressed in very ordinary clothes, and their clothes even had many patches on them.

Both of them looked rather distressed.

They don't look like people from well-off families.

If Chun Tao is one of their daughters, where did she get this rather nice-looking outfit?

Chuntao was still waiting for her and Pei Yi's reply.

Yu Wanwan said, "Bring it over here."

Chuntao left.

Only Yu Wanwan and Pei Yi remained.

Yu Wanwan asked Pei Yi, "Did you know Chun Tao before?"

Pei Yi replied, "I don't know her, but I have been guarding the border for many years and often lead troops to patrol the city. Perhaps Chun Tao has seen me before."

"So that's the case."

Before the drought struck, Pei Yi certainly wasn't as unkempt as before.

If Chun Tao had seen him before he started becoming unkempt, it would explain why she was able to recognize him at a glance.

That also explains her actions yesterday.

She was thinking yesterday that Chun Tao was quite determined; just because Pei Yi was a great general, she was able to ignore his rugged appearance and seduce him.

It turns out that they had already seen Pei Yi's stunning beauty.

Chuntao quickly brought over Yu Wanwan and Pei Yi's breakfast.

Yesterday, Yu Wanwan took some time to go to the General's Mansion's kitchen and put out a lot of grains and seasonings.

Therefore, today's breakfast was much more substantial than yesterday's.

The cooks at the General's Mansion also prepared beef buns and vegetable and shredded pork porridge for them, as well as some very delicate and beautiful pastries.

When Chuntao put breakfast on the table, Yu Wanwan saw her swallowing her saliva.

"Just put the food down, you can go now."

Yu Wanwan still wasn't used to having someone watching over her while she ate.

The fact that the person watching them was swallowing his saliva while watching them eat made her even more uncomfortable.

It would make her feel like she was abusing her servants.

Before leaving, Chun Tao gave Pei Yi a pitiful look.

However, Pei Yi didn't notice her at all.

Pei Yi was serving Yu Wanwan porridge.

He also put a meat bun into Yu Wanwan's bowl.

"I heard from the fourth prince that the emperor sent you several imperial chefs, and all your meals in the capital are prepared by them."

Although the chefs here on the border can't compare to those in the imperial kitchens, Grandpa Li was once the head chef of a grand restaurant in the capital, and his culinary skills are excellent.

"You can try it. When Grandpa Li was young, he traveled all over the country and he is good at many different cuisines. If you have a favorite cuisine, you can mention it to Grandpa Li and ask him to make it for you."

Pei Yi is a very proactive person.

I told Yu Wanwan before breakfast that I would be responsible for arranging someone to give Lao Si a lesson.

After breakfast, everyone was already taken care of.

They were the headmaster and several teachers from the academy that had previously run an academy in the city.

After the drought began, people gradually went hungry and struggled to survive, so fewer and fewer people went to the academy to attend classes.

In the end, even the teacher and students fainted from hunger in the classroom.

After this happened several times, not only did the students stop attending classes, but the teachers also stopped coming, and the academy could no longer continue operating.

Left with no other choice, the headmaster had to close the academy.

Nowadays, even places to teach children are readily available.

Children can attend classes directly in the academy.

Originally, only children from wealthy families were eligible to attend classes at the academy.

Now, thanks to Pei Yi's arrangements, all the children in the city are able to attend classes.

Yu Wanwan also mentioned modern compulsory education to Pei Yi, which means that children do not need to pay tuition fees before they reach a certain stage of learning.

The imperial court would pay for this portion of their tuition.

Pei Yi immediately put this compulsory education into practice in Luocheng.

Children do not need to pay tuition fees before passing the entrance exam for the lowest level of education.

As for their tuition fees, the General's Mansion would subsidize the teachers with food, water, or other supplies.

Pei Yi had discussed this with Yu Wanwan, and Yu Wanwan agreed to arrange for an additional batch of supplies.

When the headmaster and the teachers of the academy heard Pei Yi's arrangement, they were overjoyed.

You have to understand that even if you had silver these days, you couldn't buy food or water, let alone the things that the general's wife had brought out that they had never even heard of.

Everyone was filled with anticipation, wondering if they might be rewarded with a bicycle if they performed well.

In recent days, many soldiers have been patrolling the streets on bicycles, which has drawn envious glances from the locals.

They were no exception.

As for off-road vehicles, which are much cooler than bicycles, they still don't dare to even think about them.

They had heard that even in the general's mansion, very few people were qualified to drive off-road vehicles.

They also heard that off-road vehicles are not easy to learn.

Before driving, I have to watch videos for a long time.

That video is also a very rare item; only the general's wife has it.

In short, off-road vehicles are currently out of reach for them.

The teacher and the school were settled.

The fourth brother's comfortable days were also coming to an end.

That afternoon, he was captured by Pei Yi's men and taken to the academy, where he began his arduous study life.

Pei Yi truly took Yu Wanwan's words, "Children are the future of the motherland," to heart.

To ensure the children could study peacefully at the academy, he also arranged for many soldiers to patrol around the academy.

It can be said that the academy is now the safest place in the entire Luo City, apart from the General's Mansion and the military camp.

Yu Wanwan felt so safe that she even thought she could stay in the academy instead of being inseparable from Pei Yi like Siamese twins.

Wherever he went, she followed.

She had only been following him for a morning, and even though Pei Yi was very handsome, she found it a bit boring.

"General, this is bad."

As Yu Wanwan and Pei Yi were standing outside the classroom, looking at the children inside with satisfaction, Zhang Yifan suddenly rushed over on his bicycle.

With a serious expression, he abandoned his bicycle and approached Yu Wanwan and Pei Yi.

I was running too fast and almost tripped over a bicycle when I got off the bus.

"General, something terrible has happened. The Black Bear Army has made a move. They've returned, and if nothing unexpected happens, they'll be at our city gates in three days."

"Once they find out we have food and water in the city, they'll definitely attack without hesitation."

“Once they find out, the news can no longer be kept secret, and others will find out too.”

Yu Wanwan!!!
