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

Su Heng spent a whole day cleaning the house. By the time the original woodshed was filled with beds and cabinets that he bought from the villagers, he was already starving.

At this moment, the moon was already hanging in the sky. Shi Yan was eating roasted sweet potatoes and looking at Su Heng who appeared at the door in a disheveled state. She let his eyes stay on the roasted sweet potatoes and did not speak.

"Xiao Lei, I've cleaned up my room, but I'm a little hungry. Do you still have the sweet potatoes?"

Seeing that Su Heng was in such a miserable state, Shi Yan broke off half of the roasted sweet potato in her hand and handed it to Su Heng.

It's not that Shi Yan is stingy and doesn't want to let Su Heng eat. The main reason is that the captain of Su Heng's rations has not been delivered yet, and the few grains and banknotes in the Shi family have been used to buy a coffin for Shi's mother.

So now the family is so poor that they can barely make ends meet. The sweet potato in her hand was taken out of the space by Shi Yan and roasted.

Shi Yan is not in good health now and has a small appetite, so after eating half a sweet potato and drinking some hot water, her stomach feels a little bloated.

After Su Heng finished eating half of the sweet potato with satisfaction, he still felt unsatisfied.

"Xiao Lei, is there any more?" Su Heng asked expectantly, holding his stomach.

"We are out of food at home, and your rations haven't been delivered yet. The sweet potato just now was the last ration for the family."

Shi Yan told the truth.

Shi Yan had been keeping an eye on Su Heng, but she did not see any look of disgust on his face. Instead, he was silent for a moment, then suddenly stood up and walked out of the room.

When Su Heng came back again, he was holding a brand new lunch box filled with noodles.

"Xiao Lei, this is what I exchanged with the villagers. We'll each take half. Fill your stomach first. I'll go get rations from the captain tomorrow."

Seeing Su Heng holding the lunch box forward, Shi Yan felt a rare sense of guilt.

In order to prevent Su Heng from misunderstanding her, Shi Yan finally endured the discomfort in her stomach and picked up two noodles to eat as a token of her appreciation.

Su Heng saw that the child in front of him only ate so little, and thought that Shi Yan was doing it on purpose to move him. He decided to wait until the captain arranged the work, and then he would go to the city to buy some nourishing food.

Logically speaking, Su Heng was not a pushover, but he inexplicably felt that the person in front of him was to his liking and wanted to take better care of him.

That night, the two of them slept in their own rooms and finally got along peacefully.

The next day, the newly installed loudspeaker in the village rang early in the morning, notifying all the educated youth to gather at the village radio station.

After the broadcast started, Shi Yan heard some rustling sounds in the yard. She thought it was Su Heng washing up and getting ready to go out.

Shi Yan's body was too weak now, so she lay on the kang and listened carefully to the noise outside. After she was sure that Su Heng had left, she immediately slipped into the space.

He first washed and changed into a clean, thick undershirt, then ate something before putting on his tattered cotton jacket again and leaving the space.

After leaving the house, Shi Yan saw the dilapidated yard that had been tidied up.

The broken windows of the original woodshed were covered with curtains, and next to the house, a thatched shed was built at some point, with the firewood from the original woodshed neatly stacked under the shed.

Shi Yan and Su Heng were the only two people living in the courtyard. Shi Yan was still in the process of adapting to the new environment and had no energy to clean up the courtyard.

So it goes without saying who is responsible for cleaning the yard and the shed.

But now was not the time to marvel at Su Heng's ability. Shi Yan buttoned her collar, returned to her introverted and somewhat gloomy look, and went to the field.

Originally, the Shi family's courtyard was a bit remote, and to go to the fields, one had to pass by the cow shed on the back mountain.

Before I got close, I saw a man standing outside the hay shed feeding cows.

His clothes were even more worn out than the ragged cotton jacket Shi Yan was wearing now, because when he first arrived, people from the town wearing armbands often came to educate him.

So the clothes, which were already worn out, now had many more signs of being torn by humans.

But despite his miserable fate, it still couldn't hide his proud and arrogant aura. Shi Yan couldn't help but sigh that this man was worthy of being the male protagonist of this world.

It's just a pity that Shi Yan has to fulfill the original owner's wish in this life and let the heroine see her shining points. As for the relationship between the hero and heroine, she must slightly hinder it in the middle.

Otherwise, how could the heroine, whose heart and eyes are completely devoted to the hero, possibly have a good impression of herself now?

So Shi Yan just looked at the male protagonist and continued to walk straight into the field.

Shi Yan now has some strength in her body, but she has little endurance. After hoeing the ground for a while, Shi Yan felt sore and painful all over.

Shi Yan straightened her aching waist and stood up, intending to stretch her body, when she saw a group of young faces led by the team leader.

The first person Shi Yan saw was not Su Heng, who currently lived with her, but the heroine Liang Rou, who was wearing a military coat, had a fair face, and was looking at the land with curiosity.

Compared with the women in the village who had rough skin from working all year round, Liang Rourou's beautiful and fair appearance quickly attracted the attention of some young men working in the fields.

So now, as a gay man, Shi Yan's action of staring at Liang Rou doesn't seem so abrupt.

Just as Shi Yan was still looking at Liang Rou, she was suddenly patted on the head, followed by Su Heng's familiar voice.

"Why are you staring at me? How old are you? If you want to find a wife, you have to wait until you are a little older!"
