Traveling through the ancient times

After the first day of the New Year, Chushulhua followed her parents to her grandmother's house to pay New Year's greetings. After lunch, Mrs. Luo was worried about the chickens and ducks at home, so the family returned home early.

With nothing to do at the beginning of the year, Chuhua brought up Nian Nian again and continued to learn how to write.

After several days of practice, Nian Nian has already written his name quite well.

At the beginning of the year, Hua took out a copy of the Three Character Classic and taught Niannian to recognize words.

Nian Nian was a good student. He studied very hard and quickly. At the beginning of the year, he thought he was so good that he could become a teacher...

After three days of teaching, Nian Nian could recite the entire Three Character Classic. When he had no time to draw at the beginning of the year, he would take out paper and pen and practice writing according to the book - the genius younger brother Nian Shiwei.

"Nian family? Huaer? Are you home?" Before I saw anyone, I heard Aunt Zhang's voice coming from next door in the distance.

Aunt Zhang is famous in the village for her loud voice and her kind heart. She will help anyone who has problems by shouting.

When Chushulhua heard the sound, she walked to the gate of the yard and looked at Aunt Zhang who was running out of breath. "Aunt Zhang, I'm at home. What can I do for you?"

"Sister-in-law Zhang, what happened?" When Mrs. Luo heard the voice, she hurried out of the house, thinking something had happened.

"A carriage came to the entrance of the village, saying they were looking for your Huaer, but they couldn't find the way and asked us. So I ran over to ask Huaer if she knew those people?" Aunt Zhang was talking about the situation at the entrance of the village.

As soon as she heard it, Nian Chuhua knew it was Jiang Ruixue who came. "Is she a lady who is about my age?"

"Yes, there is a young lady, her surname is Jiang, and there is also a tall young master."

This time they didn't run away. It must be Jiang Ruixue and Lu Mingcheng. "It's my friends. Thank you, Aunt Zhang. Are they at the entrance of the village now?"

Aunt Zhang said that she didn't know whether the person they were looking for was Nian Chu Hua, because they only knew that the daughter of the Nian family was named Nian Hua. They said they were looking for Nian Chu Hua, but there was an extra character and they didn't know if it was the right one, so she asked them to wait at the village entrance and she came over to ask first. When Nian Chu Hua heard it, she realized that was the case and quickly ran towards the village entrance.

When Nian Dali went to the town to sign up for the New Year's Painting, she made up an excuse, saying that a three-character name was easier to pronounce.

Nian Dali didn't think much about it and gave her the name Nianchuhua, but other people in the village didn't know about this and had called her Nianhua since she was a child.

Jiang Ruixue and Lu Mingcheng got off the carriage and waited at the entrance of the village. There were also several women, wives, and children sitting under a big tree at the entrance of the village chatting. They were all very curious about the sudden arrival of this distinguished guest, wondering if he was a guest of the elderly home.

"Ruixue, Lu Mingcheng..." Nianchuhua saw the two of them and shouted at the top of his voice.

Seeing Nian Chuhua running over, Jiang Ruixue and Lu Mingcheng also walked towards Nian Chuhua, and the coachman followed behind in the carriage, and they went into the village together.

"This old man's paintings are really amazing. He went to Qunan to study, and now a distinguished guest came to visit him in a horse-drawn carriage." The old women and their wives sitting at the entrance of the village watched the group of people enter the village and began to chat animatedly.

"Why are you two here together? Lu Mingcheng, didn't you go traveling? Why are you here so soon?" Nian Chuhua asked Lu Mingcheng as she walked home with Jiang Ruixue in her arms.

"I've been in Yangshan Town for two days. Ruixue said she wanted to stay at your house for two days so that we could go back together. So I followed her here. There should be room for me in your house, right?" Lu Mingcheng thought that the painters' family was small in population at the beginning of the year, and wondered if there would be enough space for so many of them to stay.

"Don't worry, there's room for everyone." Her house isn't big, but there aren't many people in her family either, so there are still two empty rooms.

There were five of them in total, including Mingyue, Yanshu and the groom. Lu Mingcheng and Nian Nian lived in one room, the groom and Yanshu lived in another room, Jiang Ruixue lived with her, and Mingyue had a room of her own, which was just right.

Arriving at the door of the house, Nian Dali came out to greet him, "Miss Jiang welcomes you, and this gentleman welcomes you to my home."

Jiang Ruixue and Lu Mingcheng said to Nian Dali, "Sorry for disturbing you."

After entering the house, Luo served tea to entertain these distinguished guests who came from afar.

When Chuanxihua told her parents that Jiang Ruixue and her family would be staying here for two days, Luo said she would go and clean up the two empty rooms.

Mingyue ran to help!

"Girl, we don't need your help. Just go and play in the front." Luo saw Mingyue pick up the broom and start sweeping, so she quickly took it and said.

"It's okay, ma'am, let's clean up together. You can't handle it alone." Mingyue wiped the dust skillfully.

"Don't call me Madam. I'm a peasant woman from the country, how can I be a Madam?" Luo felt a little uncomfortable when Mingyue called her Madam. In her eyes, only the nobles in the city were Madam.

"You are Miss Chuhua's mother, so of course you are Madam. No wonder Miss Chuhua is so kind. It turns out she inherited it from you." Mingyue was a sweet-talker, and she made Mrs. Luo smile from ear to ear.

With Mingyue's help, Luo quickly cleaned up the two rooms.

In the main room, Nian Dali was accompanying Lu Mingcheng. As a farmer, he didn't know what to talk about with the young master, and felt a little awkward sitting there.

When he saw the painting at the beginning of the year, he said to his father: "Dad, you go and do your own thing. You don't have to accompany him."

Lu Mingcheng also noticed Nian Dali's discomfort, "Uncle Nian, don't worry about me. Go and do whatever you need to do."

"Okay, then Huaer, you take good care of the young lady and the young man." After saying this, Nian Dali went out to take care of things in the fields. He had no say in what the young people were talking about.

Niannian stood behind Nianchuhua, blinking her big eyes and looking at Jiang Ruixue and Lu Mingcheng.

"This must be your brother." Lu Mingcheng looked at the little guy, who looked somewhat like Nian Chuhua.

"Well, Niannian, come on and call Mingcheng brother and Ruixue sister." Nianchuhua taught Niannian how to say hello.

Niannian called them brother and sister obediently. These two brothers and sisters are so cute.

Lu Mingcheng teased Nian Nian and the child soon started playing with Lu Mingcheng and took Lu Mingcheng to see his baby.

Jiang Ruixue and Nianchuhua moved to the yard outside the house, sat down to bask in the sun and chat.

"Life in the village is so leisurely and comfortable." Jiang Ruixue looked at the farmyard.

Through the open gate, there is a farmland outside, with mountains and water, and the sounds of chickens and ducks can be heard from time to time. Jiang Ruixue thought that he would also have a small courtyard like this to live in when he retires.

"Have you told your parents? Do they want to go to Qunan with you?" Jiang Ruixue thought of the question that Nianchuhua had asked on the way back.

"I talked about it a few days ago, but they don't want to go yet. Nian Nian is still young. I gave him a primer, but he's not suitable for academy yet. His parents want to send him to a private school in town to learn the basics first, and then send him to Qunan when he's two years older."

Nian Chuhua actually wanted them to go to Qunan together. It would be lonely for her to live alone in such a big house. Besides, she had just bought a shop and could let them do some business directly.

Chushulhua knew that they were used to living in the village and suddenly had to move to the city. Firstly, they were reluctant to leave their home, and secondly, they were somewhat unaccustomed to city life.

Take it slow. If they don't want to, she can't force them. Anyway, she still has to go to college to study and can't go home every day.
