The Story of a Young Man Who Traveled Through Time and Space to Farm

Chapter 3

Zhang Wuliang sat down at the table and realized how naive his idea of ​​enjoying life was. What are we eating?

Yes, it's the dark brown buckwheat cake. Don't bully me for my lack of education. Even if wheat flour is not white, shouldn't it be yellow-brown? What's added in it?

And this porridge, is it the legendary hodgepodge?

Could it be that the leftovers from yesterday are cooked together? This, this... I have to say: Brother, you are really wrong...

Looking at Aunt Zhao and Zhang Zhenyong's usual look, Zhang Wuliang felt that he was too spoiled. But looking at the three people in front of him who were thin and malnourished, Zhang Wuliang felt that the conditions were really too poor...

In fact, Zhang Wuliang had to admit that he felt that the conditions of this family were poor from the perspective of modern people.

In the ancient times, the Zhang family actually lived a good life. They had food and clothes. Compared with the families in the village who had more than ten or twenty acres of land, the Zhang family only had five or six acres of land. But the Zhang family is small. Other families have more than a dozen people from three or four generations living together. The Zhang family is much simpler. Now, including Chen Xiaonian, there are only four people.

So the income from the fields is enough to support their daily life.

The reason why they don't live a rich life is that the Zhang family has only one strong laborer, Zhang Wuliang. Zhang Zhenyong is a half-grown boy of only nine years old. He can only help out. Aunt Zhao had a root cause of illness due to miscarriage in her early years, and now she can only help with some light work.

So all the work in the fields falls on Zhang Wuliang alone.

In addition, the orphans and widows at home can't leave him, and he can't go out to work part-time to earn money. There is only the annual grain income. Fortunately, the weather has been good in the past few years. Although the grain income is not high. But you can make some money, but after buying extra grain to exchange for daily necessities, there is not much left every year.

And sometimes Aunt Zhao is not feeling well and has to take out some silver to buy medicine to replenish her body. It is hard to say how rich the family is.

Therefore, no matter how capable Zhang Wuliang is, few people are willing to marry their daughters to the Zhang family.

After all, marrying into the Zhang family means taking over a lot of things.

Thinking of this, Zhang Wuliang turned his head and looked at Chen Xiaonian beside him. It was not easy for him to marry into the Zhang family with such conditions.

Although this has something to do with the fact that the Chen family has too many people and he himself is a brother.

But the fact that he can marry into the family shows that he is mentally prepared to endure hardships. While Zhang Wuliang secretly admires him in his heart, he decides to be nicer to others in the future.

"What's wrong? Brother Zhang." Chen Xiaonian asked the man who had been staring at him.

"It's okay." Zhang Wuliang broke the cake in front of him in half and put it in Chen Xiaonian's bowl. "You are too thin, eat more."

Chen Xiaonian was a little embarrassed and refused again and again: "No, no, I can't eat so much."

Zhang Wuliang insisted on putting the cake in the bowl: "It's okay, you are still growing up, eat more and grow well."

"Yes, yes, you have to eat more." Aunt Zhao also responded beside him, and then said, "If you take good care of your body, you can give birth and give birth to more grandchildren for the Zhang family."
