Mom takes her baby to travel through ancient times? Farming and business are both important

Every day, Bai Zhizhi follows her father-in-law around different villages selling goods. Although she doesn't earn as much as setting up stalls in the city, it is a solid source of income, and she is quite satisfied with it.

That day, they walked a little further and unknowingly arrived at a unique village, Yanghe Village.

It is winter and there is not much work to do in the fields, but there are still many people in this village working hard in the fields.

Bai Zhizhi stood at the edge of the field and watched in confusion. Although those people were moving their hands constantly, she couldn't see clearly what they were doing.

Zhou Changsheng figured it out after just one look, "I guess he's weeding the crops in the fields right now."

"Ah? I see that in our village, including the nearby villages, not many people are working in the fields. Are there a lot of grass in the fields at this time?"

Bai Zhizhi was even more confused. Logically speaking, farmers made a living from the crops in the fields. If there was grass, shouldn't they go to the fields to work?

They came here these few days and although they saw people from other villages working, there were not as many as in this village.

"To be honest, the work in the fields is endless. After a busy year, everyone will take a break during the New Year. Life in this village must be hard."

After Zhou Changsheng finished speaking, he slowly walked towards the village with the basket on his back.

Bai Zhizhi took another look at the field and quickly followed her father-in-law's steps.

She had never farmed before, so she didn't know how many tricks there were. She thought that it must be as her father-in-law said, that the people in this village must be poorer, so they had to be busy working even in the cold winter.

Only when she actually entered the village did Bai Zhizhi realize how bitter the life her father-in-law had described was.

The houses in the village are visibly depressing. They are all the most common adobe houses in the village. Some of them even have simple thatched roofs that can barely keep out the wind and rain.

Occasionally, when you meet someone on the road, they are all busy with their work. It is rare to see people gathering together to bask in the sun and chat like in other villages.

The more Bai Zhizhi looked, the more confused she became. Logically speaking, the situations in the surrounding villages were similar. Even if there was some gap between the rich and the poor, it shouldn't be so big. Why was this village so different?

Thinking this way, Bai Zhizhi also asked, "Dad, why does it seem like things aren't going well in this village? Is there something wrong?"

Zhou Changsheng found a suitable place, put down the basket on his back, and sighed, "In the past, this village was considered the richest in our area, but later on, something happened."

"Alas, I heard that most families in Yanghe Village have become tenants of a certain landlord. I never thought the situation would be like this now."

Zhou Changsheng felt very sad. Yanghe Village was not too close to their village, and he had only heard about some of the situations, but he didn't know the details.

"What kind of disaster must have happened to make the whole village become like this."

Bai Zhizhi muttered softly and looked around.

Although she has not seen all of the surrounding areas, she has seen most of them. Now the richest village has become the poorest one. It is really fate.

"We're selling braised pork now. Delicious braised pork, cheap and affordable. If it doesn't taste good, I won't charge you."

"Look, look, freshly baked braised meat~"

Although he knew that the people in Yanghe Village were not rich, Zhou Changsheng still shouted twice tentatively.

There are not many people in Yanghe Village, and the houses are built relatively close together. They are located in the center of the village. If they shout louder, they will be noticed by almost the entire village.

Not long after, people came out of the yard one after another.

Their hands kept moving, and they looked at the two people selling things with curiosity.

Seeing someone coming out, Bai Zhizhi quickly got into the mood and looked at the person with a smile.

"Ladies and aunts, would you like to come and see our braised meat? It's all freshly braised this morning. It's the same stuff they sell in restaurants in the city. It's absolutely delicious."

Those people did not answer, but just moved closer to their backpacks and looked at the things in the baskets, their eyes seemed to be shining.
