Quick travel: The poor little thing in the period novel strikes back

"Wife, I am overthinking. I will just make less and leave some for us to eat."

Gu Zhen is a person who admits his mistakes very quickly, but he can’t get rid of the loss in his heart.

Knowing that he couldn't sell food on the black market, after Gu Zhen had made enough pancakes for his family, he couldn't wait to go to the fields, ready to help his brother and sister-in-law finish the work and then go home early.

After all, the money they have now is enough to send the two children to school.

After Gu Zhen left, the only ones left at home were Gu's mother, who had taken medicine and was in a coma, and Shi Yan, who had nothing to do.

Shi Yan didn't find anything to do for herself. She went back to her room, locked the door, and took out the comics and novels she had collected from other worlds to pass the time.

Shi Yan was immersed in the drama of the domineering boss and the heroine, where she was trying to escape from him but she couldn't escape even if she had wings. However, she did not forget to pay attention to the movements outside.

When I was one-third of the way through a novel, I heard a loudspeaker sounding in the village outside the space.

Shi Yan had been in this world for some time, and it was the first time she heard the horn, so she quickly left the space.

The voice coming out of the loudspeaker was a very standard Mandarin male voice. From the accent and the words used, one could tell that the person broadcasting today must be an educated youth from the city.

As luck would have it, this person was the original body's sweetheart, the male educated youth at the educated youth point, and Li Tuo, a teacher at the village primary school.

The broadcast content was to ask all the laborers in the village to gather at the threshing ground, because every household would receive grain next month, so the village had to send the harvested wheat to the grain station for husking.

The upstream village has scheduled the husking for tomorrow. Today, everyone in the village has to work overtime to pack the wheat in the village and load it onto trucks, which will then be sent to the town.

After all, the only means of transportation that can still be used to deliver food in the village is the handcart. As for the old ox in the village, it would have collapsed from exhaustion by now.

Although Shi Yan could no longer remember whether she had worked in other mission worlds, when she heard that they were going to gather at the threshing ground, she perked up a bit.

She looked for the location according to her memory and found that there were already many people working at the threshing ground. Before Shi Yan could watch and learn, she had already been assigned to bag the wheat.

Two people worked together because of limited tools. When packing, one was responsible for shoveling and the other was responsible for holding the mouth of the bag.

When the person holding the shovel in front gets tired, the two of them will take turns.

At this moment, Shi Yan just needed to find someone to work with. Originally, she wanted to find one of the three brothers and sisters from the Gu family, any one of them would be fine.

But Shi Yan looked around and didn't see the three siblings of the Gu family, so she had to pull one person at random.

Out of the corner of her eye, Shi Yan just happened to see a piece of army green clothing, and she reached out and pulled it.

"Comrade, let's team up. I've got a shovel. Let's take turns doing the work."

"Okay." The familiar male voice, without the electrical interference of the inferior speakers, had more gentle emotion than the voice coming from the radio.

Shi Yan didn't expect that she had just heard about this person's broadcast and now she met him in person. It was really a great fate.

She knew that the original owner liked Li Tuo, so she deliberately avoided going to crowded places in the village. She usually stayed at home or went to the mountains, for fear that it would be embarrassing to meet Li Tuo.

After all, although the original owner was a very shy girl, she always behaved differently when she met someone she liked.

Especially when the original owner was still unmarried, she would always take a detour and pass by the village primary school, just in the hope of looking into the classroom through the shabby windows, and who knows, maybe she could see her beloved who was attending class.

"Give me the shovel. I'll go first. You help me hold the openings of the two bags open."

Although Li Tuo looks thin, he is not slow at work.

"I haven't seen you for a long time. You seem to have changed a lot."

Shi Yan didn't have anything to say to Li Tuo, for she was afraid that if she acted too familiar, the villagers would gossip about her.

Unexpectedly, it was Li Tuo who spoke first, but the familiar tone in his voice made Shi Yan very confused.

She searched through the memories of her original body. In fact, apart from silently guarding her every day, she had never spoken to Li Tuo alone.

Even though Shi Yan's mind was in a mess at the moment, she still pretended to be shy and spoke in a low voice.

"Really? It may be because I got married and Brother Zhen doesn't let me work, so I usually take it easy and seem to have gained some weight."

I deliberately mentioned that I was married so that Li Tuo would be aware of the exchange of marriages between the Shi and Gu families in the village, as he was in the village school every day.

"It's good to gain some weight. You were too thin before. Now that you don't have to work anymore, it's a good time to take good care of your body."

There was a brief silence between the two, and Li Tuo's next words clearly showed that he was familiar with the original body.

Could it be that Li Tuo was also silently paying attention to the original body or even had a good impression of him?

Shi Yan couldn't help but look up, wanting to see what expression Li Tuo had when he said such a sentence.

But I didn't expect that when I looked up, my eyes would meet Li Tuo's.
