A peasant girl travels through time with a hospital, rising to become an empress.

Liu Yan consulted someone to calculate the auspicious date, and it was found that three days later would be the right time for relocation.

Liu Yan was filled with anticipation, and Liu Xiong's anticipation was no less than Liu Yan's.

The old house is their shared home, a place where they lived with their parents, carrying childhood memories and the love of their parents. It is their root, their soul, and a spiritual refuge for them in this world.

Building a new house here means returning to one's roots and finding a place to call home.

This was actually a major reason why Nie Qianqian chose to build a house here instead of buying one in the county town.

She knew from the original owner's memories that Liu Yan's deepest wish was to renovate the old house so that it wouldn't be completely abandoned.

As the saying goes, "When moving out of an old house, kneel on the wall first; when moving into a new house, clean the room first." Kneeling on the wall is to worship one's ancestors.

The Liu family has a shallow lineage, originally fleeing to Qinghe County. The Liu family's ancestral worship is to pay homage to their deceased parents.

Liu's parents were buried in the green mountains behind Qinghe County. The next morning, Liu Xiong and Liu Yan's families got up early and went into the mountains. Liu Yan was worried about Gu Xiao's health and insisted on stopping him from going into the mountains.

Last night, Liu Xiong was thinking about repairing his parents' graves, but he was surprised to find that the graves in the mountains had been renovated, with the inscription made of high-quality sand and gravel, and the surrounding area was clean and tidy.

Liu Xiong: "This..."

Nie Qianqian: "Oh, I had someone repair it a while ago."

Liu Xiong and Liu Yan felt a warmth in their hearts upon hearing this; Qianqian was a soft and delicate girl.

The group burned incense and kowtowed to the Liu family elders. Tuantuan and Tiedan respectfully paid their respects to their grandparents, their young faces filled with reverence.

After paying respects to their parents, the group returned to their new home to cleanse it. In addition to cleaning the new house, the cleansing also involved exorcising evil spirits. The villagers were superstitious and believed that unseen "things" would live in the house before they moved in. Moving in rashly could easily cause illness in the family. Three days in advance, they would scatter glutinous rice in the four corners of the new house and place a four-legged stool in the main hall to announce that someone would be living there from then on.

After the kneeling wall and purification room were completed, three days later, on an auspicious day, they officially moved into their new home.

The move was scheduled for noon when the yang energy was at its peak. Liu Yan entered the house first, carrying a bag of rice to signify that there was food in the house. The others each carried their most important possessions, and their hands could not be empty. Gu Xiao carried books, Nie Qianqian carried her small medicine box, and Tuantuan held Da Bai and Xiao Bai in their arms.

After everyone moved into the new house, Liu Yan lit a bunch of incense, spreading its fragrance throughout every corner of the house. Then she took water from the water tank and slowly poured it into a basin, symbolizing a continuous flow of wealth.

Next, Liu Yan lit a fire in the kitchen of the new house. The fire had to be used to boil a pot of water and fill the entire kitchen, which meant that the days in the new house would be prosperous and thriving.

After finishing everything, Liu Yan started cooking, with Huang Zhenzhu helping her, to celebrate moving to their new home.

Since they had already held a housewarming banquet some time ago, Liu Yan's family did not invite villagers to eat together when they moved into their new house. Instead, they held a housewarming party for their own family members.

But since everyone had already eaten the housewarming feast and knew that Liu Yan's family was moving into a new house today, they all came to offer their congratulations. One family brought a bag of rice, another brought a chicken, and people kept knocking on the door of the new house, making it very lively!

Most of the villagers live in mud-brick houses, and the courtyards are enclosed by low fences, which serve as walls. Passersby can easily see what's inside the courtyards as they walk by. When visiting each other, all they have to do is shout and push open the fence gate to come in.

But Liu Yan's house was different. A tall brick wall surrounded the new house, even taller than Liu Lizheng's house. Bamboo was planted on both sides, making it impossible to see inside. The door was tall and very imposing. Even though the door was half open, the villagers who came did not push the door open directly, feeling that it would be presumptuous. Instead, they knocked on the door.

Liu Lizheng, along with his wife, Old Lady Zhao, and their eldest grandson, Xiaogang, came to Liu Yan's house. As soon as they entered the courtyard, Xiaogang exclaimed in admiration.

Unlike most families in the village who keep chickens and ducks and are messy and smelly, the front yard of the new house is paved with square bricks, making it spacious and clean. There are several tall pine and cypress trees, as well as pomegranate trees, oleander trees and other trees. There are pairs of flower pots on both sides of the yard, filled with flowers. There are also ivy climbing on the yard wall and a grape trellis.

In the middle of the courtyard stands a carved white stone fish tank containing several small red fish. Behind it are stone tables and benches, on which are placed some fruits and desserts.

In one corner of the courtyard, there was a small stove with a table and chairs, where people could gather around to brew tea in winter and relax in the summer. In another corner, there was a swing, where Tuantuan and Tiedan were having a great time, while two cute little white cats were running and jumping around nearby.

Grandma Zhao's eyes lit up. If she had such a courtyard, she would be smiling in her dreams. How comfortable it would be to live in such a courtyard every day!

As Liu Lizheng and Old Lady Zhao were admiring the courtyard, Da Zui Juan's voice came from inside the house, "So many good things!"

"What are you shouting for? You're making a fool of yourself."

Once inside, the two discovered that the interior was even more extraordinary. The tables and chairs in the hall were clearly high-quality items that could only be bought at the crossroads of the county town. The black lacquered wooden tables and chairs gleamed, making one want to touch them.

The hall is decorated with some exquisite ornaments, which makes the whole hall look more upscale.

"Oh dear, I was just ignorant. Which family in the village has a house like this? Sister Yan, your new house is so gorgeous and beautiful. I... I won't dare to visit anymore."

Actually, Liu Yan's home wasn't particularly luxurious. If Jiang Wenxuan were to come, he probably wouldn't find anything appealing. However, in the eyes of the villagers of Qinghe Village, it was extremely extravagant.

Liu Yan said politely, "Don't say that. Please come often, please come often."

Aunt Wang and Uncle Wang arrived late, carrying two bags of white rice. After looking around, Aunt Wang felt incredibly envious.

That lingzhi-carved clothes rack, that lotus-head four-legged washbasin, and that brass mirror stand—they're all so beautiful.

Aunt Wang examined the bronze mirror carefully, feeling both incredibly pleased and extremely envious.

Back when Liu Yan had just returned to her old house, she even came to her house to borrow bowls. At the time, she felt sorry for her and lent her a lot of things. How come, in the blink of an eye, she's living such a life?

Aunt Wang couldn't stand it any longer. After exchanging a few polite words with Liu Yan, she pulled Uncle Wang away.

Grandpa Wang was a little unhappy. "What's going on? Liu Xiong is going to make us tea. The tea smells so good. I haven't even had a taste yet."

"Drink, drink, drink! What's the point of drinking? It's someone else's anyway."

Old Wang was inexplicably angered and not very happy. He took a puff of his pipe and retorted, "You laughed at Liu Yan for thinking that opening a small restaurant was unrealistic. Now look at it. If that small restaurant hadn't made any money, how could they have built such a house and decorated it like this?"

Aunt Wang stubbornly insisted, "That restaurant has only been open for a few days, how could it have earned so much money? This money must have been earned by her daughter Qianqian. You saw it last time, the top families in Fulin County are all protecting Nie Qianqian. I wonder what kind of skills this girl has, she probably made a lot of money."

Grandpa Wang agreed in his heart, but couldn't help but sneer, "That Nie Erzhuang is really stupid as a pig. No one in the Nie family is smart enough to kick a girl like that out."

Soon, word of Liu Yan's new house's grandeur spread throughout the village. Villagers who hadn't been invited to the housewarming feast came out of curiosity, bringing gifts to congratulate Liu Yan and see what her house looked like.

For a time, Liu Yan's house seemed to have become a tourist attraction in Qinghe Village. Villagers came full of curiosity and left with smacking lips and exclaiming in praise.
