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

Chapter 4

Chen Xiaonian didn't think much about it, but he felt a little embarrassed after hearing what they said.

After all, no one had ever said that they would stay at home with him, so he could only lower his head and peel corn.

Even so, Zhang Wuliang still refused to let him go. Chen Xiaonian heard his man's magnetic voice coming from above his head: "Xiaonian, if there is anything you are not used to at home, just tell mom or me, we will try our best to help you solve it."

Chen Xiaonian shook his head wildly: "No, no, it's great here."

Aunt Zhao also agreed, "Yes, just tell me what you need, or tell me what you like to do or what you like to eat. This will be your home from now on. We don't have many rules because we have a small family. Just live comfortably."

Chen Xiaonian was so moved that he had heard of many cases of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law not getting along, and mother-in-laws torturing their daughters-in-law. Compared with those young wives in the village, he was much luckier.

Thinking of this, his eyes began to turn red. He didn't dare to look up, and he responded obediently, thinking that this was a blessing he had cultivated for several lifetimes to marry a good man like Zhang Wuliang and have a mother-in-law like Aunt Zhao. Then he secretly made up his mind to live a good life with Zhang Wuliang and respect Aunt Zhao.

Zhang Wuliang thought he was shy, so he didn't say anything more and talked about other things with Aunt Zhao and Zhang Zhenyong;

If Zhang Wuliang knew that Chen Xiaonian was bought by a few words, he would probably sigh at the simplicity of the ancient working people and the innocence of the young people who were not familiar with the world.

The sun shone warmly on him in the middle of the morning, and occasionally he could hear the sound of dogs barking in the village. Zhang Wuliang felt that he was living a life like a god while basking in the sun, peeling corn and chatting about family matters.

Peeling corn is a difficult thing, especially when you first start peeling it, you have to pick it out one by one.

Although he was used to doing this job, Zhang Wuliang still felt a little uncomfortable.

After thinking about it, he got up and went to the woodshed to get a rake.

Then he took a broom and swept a piece of open space next to Aunt Zhao and the others peeling corn, and took a few corn cobs next to it. Then put the spiked rake on the ground with the rake facing upwards, and then sit on the handle to fix the rake. This is a method often used in his hometown to peel corn.

Zhang Wuliang's hometown is in the south of China. Every family grows not much corn, so there is no need to buy a machine specifically for peeling corn kernels. In order to save trouble, this spiked rake is used. The teeth of the spiked rake are very sharp and strong, and the width is just enough for the width of the corn kernels.

So as long as the spiked rake is firmly fixed, and then the corn cob is pressed on the teeth of the spiked rake, the corn kernels can be peeled off. One row can be peeled off at a time, which is very convenient.

Zhang Wuliang originally thought that since this time and space had corn so early, there might be spiked rakes, but he didn't expect it to be true.

It seems that this time and space is still different from the ancient time and space he is in.

He remembered that corn was introduced to China quite late in his space. Zhang Wuliang shrugged his shoulders. These things have little to do with him. He just needs to live his own life now.

Zhang Wuliang took the corn cob and tried it on the nail rake. He had done this job before and knew it was difficult to get started. He hadn't done this job for a long time.
