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

Chapter 37

Zhang Wuliang took Chen Xiaonian and Song Xiuzhi to finalize the renting of the shop, went to the government office to handle the paperwork, and then returned to Taohe Village.

For a period of time, Zhang Wuliang was always running between the village and Shuangwan Town.

Sometimes he was alone, sometimes he was with Zhang Zhenzong and Zhang Zhenwen.

The shop opened by Zhang Wuliang was finally named "Bai Yufang", which was the result of the opinions of all the Zhang family members, and it was taken from the meaning of tofu being pure and flawless.

In fact, Zhang Wuliang preferred to call it "Yonghefang" to commemorate a breakfast shop that accompanied him to work every morning.

Before Bai Yufang opened, Zhang Wuliang had another important thing to do, to be precise, three things: harvesting wheat, the crowning ceremony, and the Spring Harvest Festival.

The wheat harvested in spring is almost the food for the people of Taohe Village for most of the year. Taohe Village has a large wheat planting area, and harvesting spring wheat is one of the several important activities in Taohe Village in a year.

The threshing ground in the village was very lively during the wheat harvest, and the joy of harvest filled the entire Taohe Village.

After the harvested wheat was settled and stored in the warehouse, there was a large-scale harvest celebration in the village. During the day, there was a ceremony to crown all those who came of age that year, and at night there were dishes and bonfires in the threshing ground. This day was called the Spring Harvest Festival.

When the wheat harvest began, Zhang Zhenlin also gave the students of Taolin Private School a holiday and asked them to go home and help harvest wheat.

After two or three months of teaching, Zhang Zhenlin had a very high prestige in the hearts of the students. When he asked them to go back and help harvest wheat, no one dared to disobey him, even Zhang Ergou, the sly guy.

No, he should be called Zhang Zhencai now, and he also went to the fields with his elder and second brothers.

Seeing their children gradually becoming well-educated, clean and sensible, the villagers were full of gratitude to Zhang Zhenlin. Knowing that Zhang Zhenlin's family had many fields and hired people to harvest and sow every year, they took the initiative to let their children go to Zhang Zhenlin's house to help.

Zhang Zhenyong and Zhang Zhencai also went to help for a day, not because they were unwilling to go more.

It was because Zhang Zhenlin didn't want students to help his family at the beginning.

He gave the students a holiday because he wanted them to help his family and reduce the burden on his parents. Instead of asking them to come to his house to help, Zhang Zhenlin wanted to hire helpers, but the villagers refused. Finally, everyone discussed that each student only went for one day, and then Zhang Zhenlin agreed.

Although they were half-grown children, they couldn't stand the large number of people, and finally Zhang Zhenlin's wheat was harvested as scheduled.

On the day of the Spring Harvest Festival, Zhang Wuliang changed into Confucian clothes and took off his headband, followed Zhang Zhenwen to the ancestral hall to listen to the training, and then the elders of the clan crowned them one by one.

In the early summer and late spring, clothes were thin. Zhang Wuliang walked out of the ancestral hall in a Confucian robe and hat, came to Chen Xiaonian, and said with a smile: "Is it so beautiful? I am stunned."

Chen Xiaonian nodded blankly, Zhang Wuliang laughed heartily, stretched out his hand to take him home.

"By the way, Xiaonian" Zhang Wuliang suddenly thought: "When is your birthday?"
