Travel to ancient times and become rich women with your bestie

According to the memory of Old Lady Zheng, Zheng Yuan carried a hoe and walked towards his own fields with a few children.

Along the way, they met many people who had just finished breakfast and were carrying tools to the fields like them. When they saw her carrying hoes to the fields in high spirits, they all looked at her curiously.

After all, these old ladies Zheng and Duan have been the talk of the village recently. They fainted three times and slept for nearly ten days. After waking up, the two who were originally incompatible suddenly became as close as sisters and even started visiting and eating together.

Zheng Yuan was helpless. In this village where people would talk about someone losing a chicken for two or three days, the two of them were like two famous celebrities who were originally rivals, but suddenly they were officially announced as a couple, which directly led to the hot search list.

The two of them are now the parties involved in the explosive entry that ranks first on the hot search list of Laohuaiqing Village, and they have to endure scrutiny from all sides.

Fortunately, because of the argument with Wang Xiumei yesterday, this topic has become hot, and most people know that Wang Xiumei was left without any chance to fight back, so no one dared to come up and talk to her.

Zheng Yuan was happy to have some peace and quiet, and walked towards his fields with his children in a swagger.

When he arrived at the field, Zheng Yuan was dumbfounded. This is called rice?

She also grew up in the countryside. Before she went to college, she would go to the fields with her parents to help out during the holidays. In her memory, the rice at home was at least waist-high, and each plant was full of rice ears. What was this piece of land in front of her?

It is sparse, not even up to the calf level, and it looks like it has completed tillering and started to grow. Probably because of the lack of fertilization, the tillering is not successful, and there are small clusters. Fertilization was not kept up during the jointing, and the height cannot be reached. The horizontal and vertical growth is not good, so this large area cannot cover the paddy field, and the weeds in the field are almost more than the rice.

Looking at other people's fields, it can't be said that they have reached modern standards, but at least there are not many weeds in the fields, and the tillering and jointing conditions are much better than hers.

After all, it was limited by the times. There were no rice varieties that had been improved a lot, and there were no targeted fertilizers. The best that could happen was this. At this time, Zheng Yuan began to miss Grandpa Yuan, who devoted his life to studying rice and solved the problem of food and clothing for more than one billion people with just one seed.

Zheng Yuan rolled up his trousers and went to the field to start weeding, at least to prevent the weeds from taking up too much nutrition. The children saw their mother going to the field and followed her to start weeding, and they were very enthusiastic for a while.

The rice fields filled with water were full of thick and smelly mud. One foot deep and one foot shallow in it, one would fall if not careful. Zheng Yuan cursed in her heart while pulling weeds. What kind of thing is this? Others traveled through time to become rich ladies, but she traveled through time to face the loess and back to the sky. The college students who were supported by generations of hard work went back to ancient times to become poor farmers.

Fortunately, the original body was used to doing these things. Although it felt very tired, it could hold on.

Here, Duan Minmin took her daughters home, got the farm tools, and walked towards their own fields. Their fields were quite far from Zheng Yuan's home.

Along the way, the gossipy eyes of the villagers followed her like a shadow, but Duan Minmin didn't even look at them. She just walked on her own and no one dared to come close to her.

When they reached the edge of their own field, Duan Minmin was no less shocked than Zheng Yuan.

Because they gave birth to only daughters, when her husband was still alive, her parents favored the second and fourth daughters when they divided the family property, not only giving them little land, but also all of it was poor land. Even though the couple worked hard later and earned some money and added a few acres of good land.

But after he died, the four of them were left, and they were simply unable to take care of the farm. They only cared about planting crops, not harvesting them. They planted them, but how much they could harvest depended on fate.

Looking at the yellow rice fields covered with overgrown grass and sparse rice seedlings, Duan Minmin just wanted to give up the land. How could she make money from this?

Seeing her three daughters rolling up their trousers and going to the fields to weed, she had no choice but to follow them. It didn't make sense for her to be idle while her three daughters were working so hard. Besides, one more person meant more effort. Because she and Yuanbao had delayed a lot of things in the fields since they traveled through time, if they delayed any further, it would affect the rice heading and flowering.

While working, Duan Minmin was thinking about discussing with Yuanbao to find some other way to make money.

History textbooks from childhood to university have shown that, whether in ancient times or in modern times, small peasant economies cannot make people rich, unless they become landlords or farmers through highly mechanized farming.

Obviously, they don't have this condition now.

Pulling weeds, it was already noon. As the sun rose higher, Zheng Yuan felt thirsty and hungry. The scorching sun almost made her faint. But in ancient times, rural areas only had one meal in the morning and one meal in the evening, and there was no habit of three meals a day.

He straightened up and walked to the edge of the field to sit down and rest for a while. What a shabby place this is, there is not even a tree to provide shade. Zheng Yuan rubbed his stiff waist while calling his sons and daughters-in-law to come over and rest for a while.

Although the other children were not as embarrassed as she was, they all looked tired and their lips were dry and chapped. Zheng Yuan sighed as he saw that if it were modern times, they would only be half-grown children, and it would be the time for them to study. Who would be willing to let them work in the fields?

Zheng Yuan was so thirsty that she couldn't bear it anymore. She planned to ask her second son to go home and fetch a can of water, otherwise she would really be dried up by the sun.

Just as she was about to speak, she heard Xu Huiniang stand up and shout, "Third sister is here?"

Turning her head, she saw Chen Sanni carrying a large backpack and holding a water pitcher walking towards them. Xu Hui Niang hurried over, took the water pitcher from her hand and handed it to Zheng Yuan: "Mom, drink some water quickly."

Zheng Yuan took it without caring about cleanliness and took a big gulp. Instantly, a cool feeling flowed from his mouth to his stomach, and he finally felt alive. He handed the jar to Xu Hui Niang, but Xu Hui Niang handed it to her husband. After turning it around, there was little water left in the jar.

Zheng Yuan, who had recovered, leaned comfortably on the edge of the field and sighed. He had been living in hard times for so long that he actually felt happy just by drinking water.

Then he thought of Duan Minmin's whole family working in the fields, and they must have not had any water, so they must be smoking by now. Then he sat up and asked, "Sanni, do you know where your aunt Duan's fields are?"

Sanni was pulling up pig grass on the ridge of the field. When she heard this, she raised her head and pointed to the other side: "I know, it's over there."

"Oh, mom wants to trouble you to go home again and bring a jar of water to your Aunt Duan and the others. There's no one at home to bring them water, and I'm afraid they must be very thirsty." Zheng Yuan said embarrassedly. After all, it was such a hot day and she had to order a child around.

Sanni was about to nod when she heard Zheng Yuan say, "No, no, no, don't run away. Where's Sizhu? He has nothing to do all day. Let him take it over."

Thinking of how Chen Sizhu treated Chen Sanni that day, Zheng Yuan guessed that he would not help Sanni with anything at home, so he simply asked him to bring her some water.

"He's out playing with Da Niu and the others. It's okay, I'll take him back. It'll be the same if I come back to pick pig grass." Sanni patted the grass debris off her body and walked home with the water jar.

Zheng Yuan thought about it and agreed. By the time he found Chen Sizhu, Amin would probably have been dried up. He could arrange for him to deliver water tomorrow.

The children had gradually gotten used to their mother and Aunt Duan's interactions over the past two days, so they didn't react much to her sending water to Aunt Duan's family. However, Old Man Chen and Old Man Chen's family were very surprised.

The fields of the two families originally belonged to the same family, and naturally they were adjacent to each other after the separation, so they heard Zheng Yuan's words. It is one thing to hear, but it is another to hear and see it with your own ears.
