Spring came and winter passed, and because the court could not find a suitable candidate to replace Zhao Yiming, Tian An stayed in Qimuru Prefecture for three years. Three years, and another three years. In the blink of an eye, Xiyue and Nanchen were already ten years old.
Over the past nine years, Tian An and Zhao Shuhua have established maternal and child health care hospitals in all the newly divided states.
Tian An made full use of his expertise. Whenever he arrived at a place, he would first test the local soil and lead the farmers to plant the most suitable crops, fruits, vegetables and specialties for the local area.
While accumulating wealth for himself, he also helped the farmers become rich and made great contributions to improving the quality of life in the local area.
Peng Zhang also followed them all the way to open up trade routes and became the undisputed richest businessman in Tianling.
However, the Peng family still knew the principle that an innocent man would be guilty of possessing a treasure.
With a huge sum of money in hand, Mr. Peng always woke up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night. After being unable to sleep for several days, he shamelessly went to Zhao Yiming for advice.
Zhao Yiming thought for a moment and replied with one word, "Donate."
Mr. Peng bit his lip and asked again without shame, "How much is the donation?"
This time, Zhao Yiming didn't tell him directly, only saying, "It depends on your intention and financial ability."
Mr. Peng thought for a long time before bidding farewell to Zhao Yiming, and then he set off back to Beijing with Mrs. Peng.
A few months later, news came from the capital that the Peng family, the richest merchant in Tianling, voluntarily donated half of their wealth to the country for national construction. They were commended by the emperor, awarded the "Loyalty and Righteousness" plaque, and were also awarded the honor of imperial merchant.
It is said that this incident caused heated discussions in Kyoto for a time, and many wealthy businessmen followed suit. However, with the Peng family as an example, the rest were just embellishments!
However, the national treasury was filled again in a short period of time thanks to the capital injection from merchants.
In the imperial study, the emperor was delighted. The crown prince took the opportunity to mention Zhao Yiming, "I heard that the Peng family only started donating their wealth after returning from Qimulu Prefecture."
The emperor put away his smile and said, "Mingyu must have reminded him." He sighed and said, "It has been a few years since Mingyu and that girl went to the West. It's time for them to return."
The prince nodded, "Yes! Nanchen and Xiyue are already ten years old now. I wonder what they look like now."
Speaking of Zhao Yiming and Tian An's twins, a boy and a girl, the emperor's face was full of love. "Then let them come back! The children are old enough to study hard."
In this way, in the tenth year of his stay in Qimuru Prefecture, Zhao Yiming finally received the imperial edict summoning him back to Beijing.
At that time, Tian An was happily picking grapes with his children in the vineyard.
The climate of Qimuru is very suitable for growing melons, grapes and other fruits and vegetables. After Tian An established the first maternal and child health care hospital in Qimuru Prefecture, he invested a huge amount of money to build the first vineyard here, and also transferred students who graduated from the College of Agricultural Sciences of Hope College here.
Through their continuous efforts, there are now dozens of grape varieties in this vineyard, and two new precious seedless varieties have been introduced in recent years.
Except for those presented to the palace, the rest of the seedless grapes were extremely valuable once they were put on the market, attracting countless wealthy businessmen to scramble for them.
Xiyue and Nanchen had no idea of the value of these grapes outside, and they were enjoying eating them one by one.
Tian An didn't care about them. He just reminded them not to eat too much and went on to work with the fruit farmers.
It was not until dusk that Tian An returned home with his two children who were still reluctant to leave.
As a result, as soon as he got home, he learned the news that he was about to return to Beijing. Tian An didn't react at first and was stunned for a moment.
Zhao Yiming looked at her confused expression and said with a smile: "Why, you don't want to go back?"
Tian An came back to his senses. "That's impossible! I just didn't expect it to happen so suddenly! I haven't prepared anything yet! In the hospital, in the orchard, and..."
I always think about going back, but when the moment comes, I can't let go.
The children did not have so many concerns. In order to prevent them from being unfamiliar with the capital, Tian An often talked to them about the people and things in the capital.
When she heard that she was going back to the capital, the already lively Xiyue laughed and jumped even more, shouting that she was going to meet her uncle the emperor, her aunt the empress, her grandpa, grandma, and a bunch of beautiful aunts.
Even the usually steady and reserved Nanchen couldn't hide his excitement at this moment, "Cousin Youkai often writes to me, and now I can finally see his true face."
Infected by the children's laughter, Tian An's reluctance to let go was greatly reduced.
At night, she rarely dreamed of "Tian An" when he was a child.
The "Tian An" in the dream was very sensible, especially after Tian Mingwu left, his small body always helped An Wan take on most of the work.
But one time, she went up the mountain alone to collect firewood for An Wan without telling anyone and encountered a rainstorm. She had no common sense and subconsciously hid under a big tree to avoid the rain, but as expected, she was struck by lightning and fell into a coma.
In the dream, Tian An saw one of "Tian An's" soul being struck out of his body by lightning, and by chance it went to another time and space and entered the body of the orphan Tian An in that world.
Later, the unconscious "Tian An" was found and rescued, but because he was missing a soul, he became much dull and rigid from then on.
However, Tian An in another world became smart and even had a photographic memory because of his extra soul. Later, he showed amazing talent in medicine and achieved great success.
Later, he was noticed by the laboratory and participated in the research and development of space.
"Bang……"
When Tian An came back to the scene of the laboratory explosion, he was suddenly awakened. When he regained consciousness, his whole body was soaked in sweat.
"An An, what's wrong with you..." When she raised her eyes, Zhao Yiming was looking at her with a worried look on his face.
"I, I want to drink some water."
After drinking two glasses of water, Tian An finally calmed down completely and told Zhao Yiming about his dream.
After listening to Tian An's dream, Zhao Yiming concluded, "So, your soul is not 'transmigrating' as you initially thought, but 'returning'. You are Tian An, the Tian An of Shangba Village."
Tian An took a few deep breaths before nodding, "Now it seems that this is the case."
Zhao Yiming hugged Tian An excitedly, "That's great. This way I don't have to worry all day about you suddenly leaving and me being unable to find you anywhere."
Tian An was stunned and looked up at him, "Why have you never told me this?"
Zhao Yiming rested his chin on her forehead and said, "I'm the only one who needs to worry about these things. There's no need for you to worry about them too."
A dream helped Tian An figure out her own secret, and also dispelled the last bit of estrangement between her and Tian Mingwu and An Wan, making her look forward to returning to Beijing even more.
Finally, after more than a month of packing and making arrangements, their family of four and Peng Zhang's family of three set out on the journey back to Beijing.
