The cannon fodder just wants to survive until the end

Chapter 1 The Village Girl Just Wants a Simple Life 1

"Did you hear that the little girl of the Li family has a man in her room? It's really unbelievable to see such a nice little girl being so promiscuous in private."

"How could I not have heard of it? They even passed by my door at that time. I have to say that the man raised by the Li family's little girl is really good-looking."

"Oh my, he really doesn't look like an ordinary person."

"I heard that the man lost his memory and was rescued by the young lady of the Li family. I see that the Li family has been so busy recently, that man is going to marry into the Li family."

"Ah! The Li family already has two sons and they want to marry their daughter off. Will this son agree?"

"The Li family all love their daughter, so they will agree, right?" I saw a few aunts washing clothes by a stream, chatting about the latest news while washing clothes.

Among these aunts, there was one who was wearing a half-new green dress and a simple bun. She was obviously shorter and thinner than the others.

"Why is Ming so dazed? Are you not feeling well?" The aunt sitting next to Ming Huaixi noticed that Mingxi had been in a daze for quite a while and couldn't help but ask.

"I just caught a cold yesterday and I'm feeling a little uncomfortable. I'll go home first." After Ming Huaixi came to his senses and said goodbye to the aunts, he carried the washed clothes and walked towards the home in his memory.

Just now Ming Huaixi traveled through time. Ming Huaixi was a newly graduated college student who was lucky enough to be admitted to the civil service. Before Ming Huaixi could enjoy a few days of "iron rice bowl" job, one morning, Ming Huaixi traveled through time to a country called Xiguo in this imaginary dynasty. In this country, there was a village girl with the same name in a small mountain village called Xiaohe Village.

It is the busy farming season now. Most of the aunts just mentioned are young and strong in their families, so there must always be someone left at home to take care of the household affairs, such as washing clothes, cooking, and doing housework during the busy farming season.

After Ming Huaixi returned home, he first recalled the memories of this body. There were four people in his family. Huaixi had an older brother who was a scholar. His grandparents lived on the other side of the village not far from his home. Huaixi often went there to help with some work.

Ming's father and mother are both hardworking people. Ming's father knows some carpentry work. When he is not busy with farm work, he will do some carpentry work for some wealthy families. He also takes some private jobs at home, so he earns some money on weekdays.

Ming's mother used to be an apprentice in an embroidery workshop. She had mastered the craft. She would usually embroider some things at home and send them to the workshop to sell. Sometimes she would also take on odd jobs that were sent to the workshop by wealthy families, which were too busy for the workshop to handle. The family's main income depended on Ming's mother's embroidery work.

My elder brother’s name is Ming Huaijin. He is a scholar who has passed the provincial examination and became a scholar. He is currently studying in the county academy. My brother is good at handwriting.

Occasionally, he would take some book copying work in some bookstores to relieve the pressure at home. He was also among the top students in the academy. In my memory, Ming Huaijin was preparing for next year's college entrance examination with the affirmation of his teacher.

The original owner was a little girl who had just turned thirteen. She usually helped with housework and washing clothes at home. She learned embroidery from her mother since she was a child, and occasionally embroidered to earn some pocket money for herself.

Huai Xi didn't know why he came here, nor did he know what happened to the original owner. Apart from the original owner's memories, he didn't know anything else. He sighed in his heart, what is this? He could only take it one step at a time.

My grandfather used to be an apprentice in the county clinic. After he got married, he brought his wife to the small mountain village to help people with minor illnesses. The villagers didn't have much money, so they would give some food as medical expenses when they occasionally saw a doctor. Usually, he went up the mountain to pick some herbs to sell, which was quite comfortable.

When the farming season was not busy, my grandmother would spin some cloth and sell it to the cloth shop in the county. Our family had been doing well over the years and was considered well off in the village, but if we were doing poorly we would not have been able to support a scholar.

The original owner had an uncle's family. His uncle's family was quite promising and started a small business. They met a noble man and their business gradually expanded. They opened a restaurant in the provincial capital and did some other business. They also bought a house in the city and moved to the provincial capital with his aunt and cousins' families, where they settled down.

Originally, I wanted to take my grandparents with me, but they said they were familiar with the countryside and didn’t want to leave. The provincial capital is far away from the small mountain village. Except for my uncle’s family returning home to visit my grandparents and worship their ancestors every two years, the original owner had only met my uncle’s family a few times.

However, every time the uncle came back, he would bring a lot of gifts. In the original owner's memory, the uncle's family was very generous.

My uncle's family has a good relationship with my family. In addition, my grandparents are also in the village, so I am not around to take care of them on weekdays. Therefore, I always bring a lot of gifts every time I come back.

After Huai Xi finished reminiscing, she saw that it was already noon. It was the busy farming season and it was time to prepare food and send it to Ming's parents and grandparents. The food was prepared in a big pot that was burned over a fire. Huai Xi had cooked before but had never used this kind of pot.

Although I had memories of cooking, I was still a little unfamiliar at the beginning, but gradually I became proficient. This meal took a while to cook, but it was finally cooked. Ming Huaixi didn't eat first, but left some for later, and then hurriedly packed the meal and sent it to his parents and grandparents who were working in the fields.

Ming Huaixi's family does not have much land, and together with his grandparents' land, there are only fifteen acres in total. Thanks to his grandparents who take good care of the land when they are not busy, ten acres of the fifteen acres are fertile land, which was a huge fortune in the poor mountain village in ancient times.

When my uncle's family moved to the provincial capital, my grandparents told my uncle that they would not give him the family land. In the beginning, my uncle was able to do small business thanks to the capital provided by his family, and he slowly accumulated a fortune.

Ming Huaixi walked towards his family's land according to the path he remembered. Fortunately, the family's land was all in one place, so Huaixi didn't have to run to other places. When he reached the top of the land, Huaixi shouted to his family members who were busy in the sky to eat, "Grandpa, grandma, dad, mom, it's time to eat!"
