Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

Fantasy is beautiful, but when they travel back in time, neither of them dares to have any expectations. Although, when they came to this era, they have tried their best to do many things and almost emptied their minds, it would be most appropriate to retire at this time. However, traveling through time and space is not up to them. Where there is hope, there will be disappointment.

It is better to let nature take its course and treat it with a normal attitude.

Thinking of this, Xu Huaiyi felt relieved. "Except for feeling guilty towards my daughter, I really have nothing to complain about. God has been very kind to our family. People should be content. Once greedy, there will be no peace!"

Gu Huanxi said, "From another perspective, it's not a disadvantage for Ah Li to stay here. Although men and women are not equal, that applies to ordinary people. Our daughter is the county lady, she is as precious as gold and jade, who dares to neglect her?

As for what you said about not being able to show up in public, study or get a job, she is someone else's daughter. You are here at home, would you be willing to lock her up at home and treat her like a spoiled girl?

When does she not go out? When does she not study? She manages more than 100 acres of Chinese medicinal herbs on the farm and also has a medicine shop. Isn't this considered employment?

In the whole capital, there is no other girl as free and happy as our Ah Li.

Just wait and see, my daughter has been spoiled by you and has been so unrestrained, which rich and powerful family will dare to marry her in the future?"

Hearing this, Xu Huaiyi said indifferently, "It's good that no one dares to marry me. I wish I could raise my daughter for the rest of her life. What's good about getting married? She's been pampered in my family, but in the end she's been treated like a slave by someone else?

What's the point?

Gu Huanxi thought about it and said with a wry smile, "It's really boring."

Of course there are happy marriages, but the vast majority of marriages do not bring happiness to women, but endless troubles, hard work, and even pain.

Marriage consumes women's youth and passion, but builds men's careers. And when men become successful, women are the first ones they abandon.

So, what’s the point of getting married?

Seeing her gloomy expression, Xu Huaiyi hurriedly said, "Wife, our family is different. When you married me, I didn't consume you to support me. I participated in all the big and small things in the family. We achieved each other and it was a win-win situation, right?"

Gu Huanxi's mouth twitched, and he teased, "Not only that, I married you, and I was able to rise high. In just a few years, I went from being a peasant woman who was bullied by everyone to a marquis' wife who was envied by everyone. This is all thanks to you. I took advantage of you..."

Xu Huaiyi grinned, "Hehe, it's all my duty. If it wasn't for the title of a noble wife and children, would I have abandoned my family and career to risk my life on the battlefield?

When we got married, I said I would never let you regret it. What do you think? Did I do it? "

He looked very proud of himself, and Gu Huanxi nodded speechlessly, saying perfunctorily, "Well, keep up the good work. I'm a little hungry. Is there anything to eat in the car?"

Hearing this, Xu Huaiyi immediately stopped caring about showing off and walked towards the kitchen while saying, "There's food. I've already made some pig's trotter soup, added some peanuts and soybeans, and stewed it for an entire afternoon. The soup is milky white, and it's guaranteed to be delicious and will help increase milk production..."

As he spoke, he filled a bowl and brought it to the small coffee table in front of her, urging her to taste it, "It may be a little bland, I didn't dare to put too much salt, you have to bear with it."

Gu Huanxi agreed and drank it sip after sip. The taste was indeed quite bland, but she had to breastfeed her child, and eating too much salt would not be good for the child.

"I'm sorry for wronging my wife..."

"This is my son too."

Both of you have an obligation to contribute, rather than just making each other work hard.

This is Gu Huanxi's second confinement. Compared with when she gave birth to A Li, the conditions are better and there are more people serving her. Apart from breastfeeding, she doesn't have to worry about anything else. She spends every day leisurely playing with the child and taking care of the flowers and plants. Her life is so comfortable.

With this kind of care, her body recovered quickly and well, her complexion became rosy, and she did not show any signs of being haggard and tired after giving birth. The only two problems she had were that she had gained a lot of weight, and she could not go for a walk in the yard, but could only walk around the house.

New Year's Eve came in a blink of an eye. She was still in confinement, and all affairs were taken care of by Xu Huaiyi, who took care of food, drink, and entertainment. His arrangements were more thorough and detailed than hers, and this year was a lively one.

After the New Year, the time passed even faster. A full moon, a hundred years, and by the time the wheat was harvested, Gu Huanxi was able to push his son to Hutian Village to work in the fields.

This year the weather was good and the wheat harvest was good again. Everyone was smiling. However, what the people were most looking forward to was the new crops that Xu Huaiyi would present to the court. Especially after hearing about the high yield of sweet potatoes, every household scrambled to get them.

In autumn, the average yield per mu was more than 3,000 kilograms, which shocked Dayong. Some farmers who took good care of the crops could even produce 5,000 kilograms. What kind of concept was this? As long as a family had one mu of land, they could feed seven or eight people. It was no longer a luxury for everyone to have enough food. A world without hunger was within reach.

Sweet potatoes were praised as a divine object and people flocked to them.

What followed was the emergence of many foods based on sweet potatoes. Xu Huaiyi and Su Zhe collaborated again to process sweet potato vermicelli, which was delicious and durable, so the imperial court used it as military rations.

Hot and sour noodle shops have opened up in every street and alley in the capital. There are countless foods with vermicelli as a side dish, and people are developing and utilizing it to the maximum extent and squeezing out its value.

There are also liquors made from sweet potatoes, which are gradually becoming popular among ordinary people. You know, before, due to the shortage of food in Dayong, the court had regulations and workshops were not allowed to brew wine at will. This also led to the high price of wine, which could only become exclusive to dignitaries.

With sweet potatoes, the aroma of wine can finally be smelled in the mountains and countryside.

These changes in daily life are all due to the gradual popularity of sweet potatoes. The yield is really too high, and we can't eat it every meal. Moreover, storage is also a problem, so people naturally find different ways to prepare it.

In the past, this was unthinkable. Who could have imagined that in the future, we would have to worry about not being able to finish our food and wasting it? In the past, just having enough to eat was a good life, but now we have begun to enjoy life in a refined way.

Xu Huaiyi made an indelible contribution to this.

However, he is already the Marquis of Jingning. If he is given a higher title, a Duke in his twenties, he will be too eye-catching. Which minister in the court would be happy with that?

Therefore, even though everyone praised him and was grateful, the court did not give him any rewards.

He didn't care. Apart from doing his job well, he focused all his attention on educating his children. In terms of companionship, he was definitely the undisputed number one in the capital.

Which father can change his son’s diapers, bathe him, feed him, and accompany him in practicing every growth process every day?

He did it. As long as he was at home, he never asked others to do these things and did them all by himself. This is absolutely an anomaly in today's world where men value having grandchildren rather than children.

He doesn't care at all what others think and enjoys himself every day. His relationship with his son is even closer than that with his biological mother Gu Huanxi.

While taking care of his son, he also did not neglect to accompany his daughter. They went jogging together in the morning, taught her martial arts, told her bedtime stories every night, and took her to the mountains and rivers to play during the day off. Who among the girls of the same age as A Li in Beijing would not secretly envy her?

While they were forced by their elders to learn various rules, Ah Li could do whatever she liked. When they were stopped in the hanging flower gate, Ah Li ran happily on the farm. They were required to be ladies from noble families and dared not make any mistakes, but Ah Li could live her own life without any constraints.

Of course, this non-mainstream educational method has also been questioned and disdained by many people, but the couple turned a deaf ear to it.

Five years passed in a flash.

The people have enough food and clothing, live and work in peace and contentment, the court is clear and the border is peaceful, it is a beautiful and prosperous time.

The capital city became more and more prosperous and lively, with a permanent population of about 800,000. Together with the garrison outside the city, the population was approaching one million. With a large population, there were great demands, and all walks of life flourished. The court even opened up several streets and no longer set a curfew at night, which greatly enriched people's nightlife.

The Gu family also opened several shops there. In the past few years, their business has been growing bigger and bigger, and they are on par with the imperial merchant Su family.

Of course, the two families have a win-win relationship. As the head of the family, Su Zhe has a good relationship with Xu Huaiyi, so there is naturally no competition or oppression.
