A tragic journey through ancient times, trying to make money

Mother Zhang looked at Zhang Yunyue who was sleeping on the recliner in the yard and said to Zhang Xingfeng and Zhang Yunyue:

"Shh, your sister is asleep, you guys go out and play for a while and come back for dinner later."

Zhang Xingfeng: "Okay, mother, I'll go find Goudan. I haven't been to see him in the past two days."

Zhang Yunxue: "I want to go find Cuicui, too. I want to see the new ducklings that Cuicui's family has raised."

"Go ahead, play for a while and come back."

They both said, "Okay," and then ran out.

Noon (around 12:).

The people from Old Zhang's family have returned, and Zhang's mother and Second Aunt have almost finished preparing their meal.

But Grandma Zhang was carried back by Zhang’s father.

When Zhang's mother saw Grandma Zhang on his back, she was shocked and asked, "Dad, what happened to Mom?"

Father Zhang: "She has sprained her ankle. I will carry her into the house first, while the second son goes to get Doctor Wang."

Father Zhang came into the room and put Grandma Zhang on the bed.

"Just now when I was coming back, I was walking on the edge of the field and I didn't pay attention, so I sprained my ankle."

Zhu also heard the sound and hurried out from the kitchen.

"What's wrong, mother? How are you now?"

Grandma Zhang: "It's okay, it's okay. I'm old and my bones are old. I didn't pay attention just now and sprained my ankle."

At this time, my second uncle pushed the door open with Doctor Wang.

"Dad, Doctor Wang is here."

Grandpa Zhang: "Hey, Doctor Wang, please take a look at my feet."

Doctor Wang walked to the bedside and asked Zhang's mother to lift up Grandma Zhang's trouser legs. He pressed lightly with his hands and gently turned the ankle joint.

"Grandma Zhang, does it hurt when you press like this?"

“It doesn’t hurt much when turning.”

Doctor Wang: "Okay, the joint is fine. If you have medicinal wine at home, you can rub it yourself to reduce the swelling. I won't prescribe medicine. But you have to be careful next time. If you sprain your ankle again, you may damage the joint."

Grandpa Zhang handed the medical fee to Doctor Wang:

"Oh, I got it. Second brother, send Doctor Wang down."

"No, no, we're from the same village, why are you being so formal, Brother Zhang? I'm leaving now."

Doctor Wang waved his hand and left with his medicine box on his back.

Grandpa Zhang turned to Grandma Zhang. He was frightened when the old woman sprained her ankle just now. He came to his senses now and took out the medicinal wine from the inner room.

"Old woman, don't go to the fields anymore. There isn't much work left. I and the kids can do it. I'll massage you first."

Grandma Zhang came to her senses now: "Okay, I'll do as you say."

Zhang Yunxue lay on the bedside and looked at Grandma Zhang: "Grandma, does it hurt? Xiaoxue will blow it for you."

Grandma Zhang looked at her six-year-old granddaughter, touched the little girl's head with her hand, and then looked at the little girl with a doting face.

"After Xiaoxue blew it, grandma didn't feel any pain anymore."

After Grandpa Zhang finished massaging Grandma Zhang's feet, everyone prepared to eat.

Mother Zhang brought Grandma Zhang's meal into the house and let Grandma Zhang eat while sitting on the bed.

At the dining table in the yard.

Zhang Yunyue turned her head and looked at her father who was eating next to her: "Dad, is tomorrow the market day in town?"

Father Zhang looked at Zhang Yunyue and said, "Well, I've been busy these past two days. I just remembered it now that you mentioned it."

Zhang Yunyue wanted to see what was in the town. It was fate that she traveled here through time. It was also fate that she came to the harmonious family of Lao Zhang.

Thinking in this way, if I travel through time and space and don’t think about doing something, I would be letting myself down.

At the same time, I also want to change the family situation of Lao Zhang's family. Now Lao Zhang's family still lives in a mud and thatched house. If there is a heavy rain, it will probably be washed away.

In modern times, Zhang Yun likes to watch videos and learn about various snacks and delicacies when he has nothing to do. Moreover, the province where he lives is also a well-known food province, so the easiest thing to get is delicious food.

If I can go see what's in town tomorrow, I should know what to do next.

Father Zhang looked at Zhang Yunyue who was immersed in his imagination and said, "Yueyue, why are you in a daze and not talking?"

Zhang Yunyue: "Oh, oh, Dad, are you going to the town tomorrow? Can you take me with you? I've rarely been to the town."

Grandpa Zhang: "It seems that our Yueyue wants to go to town to play. Okay, you don't need your father's consent. Grandpa will take you there."

Zhang Yunyue looked at Grandpa Zhang and immediately started dancing with joy. After all, she was just a thirteen-year-old girl here, and it was nice to adapt to the local customs.

"Really, Grandpa, you are so kind, thank you."

Zhang Xinghao: "Grandpa, I want to go too."

Zhang Xingfeng and Zhang Yunxue didn't say anything, but just looked at Grandpa Zhang with pitiful eyes, hoping that Grandpa Zhang would take them with him.

Grandpa Zhang looked at his two grandsons and granddaughter looking at them. He wanted to refuse, but he couldn't say it, so he could only nod.

But Grandpa Zhang still said to Zhang Xingfeng and Zhang Yunxue,

"We have to get up early to go to town tomorrow, and it will take more than half an hour to walk. Are you two sure you want to go?"

Zhang Yunxue: "Grandpa, my sister and I also went to the mountain today. We walked for a long time, but Xiaoxue didn't feel tired at all. Xiaoxue can walk."

Zhang Xingfeng also nodded.

"Then let's go together, but you must follow me and your father closely tomorrow and not run around."

Then he turned to look at his two sons: "Old man, you will follow me to sell bamboo weaving tomorrow. Yueyue and Xiaohao, you will look after the two little ones."

Zhang Yunyue, Zhang Xingfeng nodded, "Grandpa, don't worry, I will take care of my younger brothers and sisters tomorrow."

Zhang Yunxue and Zhang Xingfeng immediately put down their bowls and chopsticks and ran in the yard. Everyone burst into laughter. The two little guys had never been to the town since they were born.

The town is about 10 miles away from Zhangjia Village. It takes more than half an hour to walk to the town. The old Zhang family carries their bamboo weavings on their shoulders when they go to the town to sell them.

Normally, people would not go to the town unless there was something going on at home or they were short of something. Every household in the village grew vegetables, and only during festivals when they needed to buy meat or something would people go to the town in groups to purchase.

Zhu looked at the two little guys running and waved, "Come back to eat, don't run anymore. If you run again, I won't let you go tomorrow."

When the two heard this, they ran back to the dining table, lowered their heads and started eating obediently. Everyone looked at each other and laughed again. They were really a pair of funny brother and sister.

After dinner, Zhang's mother and second aunt cleared the table and dishes. Zhang Yunyue walked into the main room and took out a few wild pears she had picked, washed them, cut them into slices, and brought them to the yard for everyone to taste. She also brought some more to Grandma Zhang's room.

"Grandpa, Dad, Second Uncle, Big Brother, Second Brother, these are the wild pears we picked today, you can have a try."

Everyone took something from the plate and started eating. After tasting it, they all nodded and indicated that it was delicious. They ate one bite after another. However, since everyone had already eaten lunch, they didn't eat much at this time.

After the meal, they chatted for a while about what they would do in the fields in the afternoon. Zhang Xingfeng talked to Zhang Xinghao and Zhang Xingyun on the side.

Zhang Xingfeng: "Brother, Brother, I went to Goudan's house just now. Goudan said that he and his brother were going to the river to fish this afternoon, along with Mu Tou and the others. Do you want to go?"

Zhang Xinghao: "Yes, we will go there later, but you can only stand by and watch us, you are not allowed to go into the river."

After all, Zhang Xingyun is the eldest brother, and he is also fifteen years old. As the eldest in the family, he has always been thinking about taking care of his younger brothers and sisters:

"I won't go. Xiaohao, you just watch over Xiaofeng. I'll go to the fields in the afternoon. I should be able to finish the work today."

"I know this. I can't swim. I just watched from the side."

Zhang Yunyue listened to the conversation between the three brothers and said, "I want to watch you guys fishing, too. I'll stand by the side."

Zhang Xinghao: “Okay”

"Then I have to go ask Goudan and the others when they are leaving so that I can go with them later."

Zhang Xingfeng ran out.

Grandpa Zhang and the others had almost finished talking about the work in the fields that afternoon. The temperature in the yard had risen a little, so he waved his hand.

"It's almost time. Let's take a nap now. It's hot sitting in the yard. Let's go to the fields in the afternoon when it's cooler."

Everyone then dispersed, and Zhang Yunyue also went back to the house to sleep. Her legs were tired from climbing the mountain in the morning, and now she felt like she could fall asleep immediately if she just lay down on the bed.
