Quick Transmigration: Leisure

Wake up again,

It is late at night.

Xia Youmi felt much lighter, as if she had broken free from some constraints.

Her mother was fast asleep beside her, and she watched quietly without making a sound.

He was organizing his thoughts.

in front of you,

It can be summed up in one sentence: the house was bare.

It should have been a happy family.

The frequent wars disrupted the traditional system of farming during peacetime, training during agricultural off-seasons, and conscription of soldiers during wartime.

The pillar of the family, Xia Youmi's father Xia Li, was forcibly kept in the army and has not returned home for a long time.

With the military government weakened, a large number of male soldiers were recruited.

To make a living for his family, the father took the initiative to ask the captain to bring his sixteen-year-old brother, Xia Yunwen, to his side to join the army.

The fact that a boy under the age of 18 was able to be promoted to the military camp was due to external factors such as the turbulent situation and the disorganized military system.

This also reflects the military's high regard for Xia Li, this expert archer.

He was not only skilled in horsemanship and archery, but also ambidextrous, never missing a shot from a hundred paces away, and incredibly brave.

Under their father's tutelage, the elder brother was also young, strong, and an outstanding archer.

The military developed a fondness for talent and did not want them to be buried or hastily transferred to serve as cannon fodder.

The male members of the Xia family have all departed.

Only the strong woman, the child, and the big yellow dog survived.

They could only rely on their maternal uncle's family and the harvest from the fields.

But misfortunes never come singly.

The village has a special geographical location, being a large county adjacent to the capital city of Chang'an. The official road within the county is the only way to enter and leave Chang'an.

It's easy to imagine that fertile land is highly sought after.

They originally had some surplus.

During the war, with the destruction of the equal-field system, 80% of the original farmland was forcibly taken away.

The remaining 20% ​​of scrap material is difficult to collect.

Fortunately, as a military household, he was exempted from corvée labor and taxes.

The father and brothers saved some of their salary and sent it back home, which was enough to barely make ends meet.

but!

Accidents never spare anyone.

Two years ago, during his family visit leave, Aye, who had returned to deliver his salary and other items, ended up leaving behind a child.

It requires ten months of pregnancy and hard work to raise the child.

Father didn't know that he not only didn't lighten Mother's burden, but he also added three points of weight to her load.

That child is Xia Youmi.

Before she turned one, she was in a daze, unable to understand the accents, suffering from physical exhaustion, with a small brain capacity and an inherent wait-and-see mentality.

This prevented her from acting rashly or making responses that were out of step with the times.

What was presented was just an exceptionally easy-to-care-for little baby.

It is only through various handovers of the infant that information about her identity can be gradually obtained from the adults.

The military and land systems mentioned therein were only briefly mentioned in the original book, and Xia Youmi deduced them based on the current situation.

Originally, she just wanted to be a carefree baby.

However, I learned from the system yesterday that she is a being created out of thin air. Although the rules of the world will make it seem reasonable, the cause and effect have already been revealed.

Without her, things might not have gotten any worse.

The age gap within families is also quite large.

Xia Youmi has just turned one year old, an age when she can just crawl.

My mother is already thirty-seven years old, an age where she can be a grandmother.

Aye is even older, now forty-two years old. Even if the military doesn't release people, she will reach retirement age when she is nineteen.

My elder brother is twenty-two years old. There was a marriage arranged between him and the daughter of my father's close friend, Uncle Qing.

She and her brother were childhood sweethearts.

However, two years ago, when Aye visited his relatives, he brought news that the current situation was unpredictable.

They, father and son, may have been stationed on the frontier for a long time.

In order not to delay the other party, I had no choice but to break off the engagement and apologize.

Most of the things Aye brought back were given to Uncle Qing's family. Less than half a year later, I heard that she successfully married and left Wangjia Village.

These are just appearances.

In reality, if a general's daughter on the frontier takes a liking to her brother, she's basically just waiting to get married.

When her mother heard the news, she felt deeply distressed.

She had long regarded the other party as her daughter-in-law, but now it was all for naught, leaving that person heartbroken.

Her brother's important matter could not be publicized, not even by his own mother.

This family is on the verge of collapse.

In the trajectory generated after Xia Youmi enters this world, she will also bring about the annihilation of her entire family.

Although they passively endured everything.

......

As dawn broke, a commotion erupted.

"Auntie! Auntie!"

"We've come to see our little cousin!"

"And they even brought Wang Dazhu from the village entrance along!"

"Wang Wang Wang!"

"Aunt, are you alright?"

"These are the wild vegetables and eggs my mother asked me to bring!"

"Come inside, everyone!"

Several children were shouting outside the door, and their mother was welcoming them into the courtyard.

The first one was an old acquaintance, with slightly dark skin but bright, sparkling eyes, and his ears also seemed to have a clever edge.

It was Xia Youmi's cousin.

Wang Shaoyi, the seven-year-old son of her elder brother Wang Zhuo, is the person who visits her most often.

He wanted to hug Xia Youmi whenever he saw her.

The second person looked around but had not seen them before.

He was dressed in luxurious clothes and had a sturdy build. He looked a bit simple-minded and was about five or six years old.

Behind him was the youngest cousin, who came in right next to Big Yellow.

Despite his young age, he was composed and had the air of a child prodigy.

He was Wang Shaoyan, the youngest son of his mother's second brother, Wang Jing, and was only four years old.

He patted Xia Youmi's head, and then gently stroked Da Huang.

My cousin came yesterday to celebrate the first birthday of the youngest girl in the family.

The steamed egg custard was also brought by my uncle's family.

But it's not surprising.

Wang Xiu's family lived nearby, in the same village, and shared the same surname. Going back a few generations, they had been landlords.

He had also managed farmland for nobles in Chang'an, and benefited greatly from their interactions.

unfortunately,

The Great Tang Dynasty has had six emperors in nearly thirty years, and its system has undergone repeated changes.

Under the relentless suppression, even their powerful backers were destroyed overnight.

The clan chief decisively distributed all his family's wealth in order to save the lives of his clansmen.

Fortunately, the family is large and united, and with the help of various parties, they are able to maintain their status as law-abiding citizens and remain in their hometown.

I dare not plan for anything more.

"Ami!" Xia Youmi was tapped on the cheek.

Before I knew it, I was already in my cousin Yi's arms, and he was calling my name in an unconsciously raised voice.

“Ah… Xi…” Xia Youmi responded by clenching her fist.

She wasn't faking it; she genuinely had an unclear speech.

Furthermore, they are not used to speaking with the local accent, and the official language spoken here is not the same as the standard Mandarin spoken in the past.

It sounded like some kind of dialect from her original world, but given the limited social circles she could currently interact with, it was impossible for her to learn it completely.

"Dazhu, look, this is our little sister!"

Wang Shaoyi lifted the little figure with all his might.

Xia Youmi was tilted towards Wang Dazhu as if being presented a treasure.

Then, before Dazhu could reach out and touch her, he withdrew his hand. Ignoring his friend's disappointment, he gently stroked his cousin's head, his eyes full of pride.

"Ah Yi, you're absolutely right!"

"My little sister is truly a fairy."

Dazhu nodded in agreement, a hint of envy in his eyes.
