C4 Abject Poverty

There were two stoves in the yard, one of which was cut with mud, and the hole was smaller, which was usually used for cooking; the other was cut from stone, and the hole was larger, which was usually used for cooking pig food, but which, of course, could also be used for other purposes.

"Mom, do you need me to do something?" Zhang Xiaoyu asked as she watched her mother bustle in and out.

"No need. You've just recovered from your illness. Just sit by the fire and roast it. When the fire is small, add some wood." Her mother took a basin and picked up some wild vegetables. She picked out the ones that could be eaten and the ones that couldn't be eaten were given to the pigs.

Her mother was wearing a coarse green cloth with a few patches sewn on it. Although her clothes were worn out, they were clean and had a bib wrapped around her waist.

Zhang Xiaoyu sat by the fire. It was only 8 to 9 in the morning, and although it was summer, it was still cold, but Zhang Xiaoyu sat by the fire and felt warm.

She already knew that this was a country that had never appeared before in ancient China. It was called Bai Suo Country, and the village she was in was called White Village.

She didn't know how to return to the modern world. She thought about how her body had been hit by a car, but if it wasn't a vegetable lying on the bed, then it must have been cremated.

"Ai!" Zhang Xiaoyu sighed again. She would rather live in modern times as a rookie than live in this precarious situation.

"Xiaoyu, what are you sighing about?" her mother asked when she heard Zhang Xiaoyu sigh.

"Huh?" Zhang Xiaoyu thought of her mother's question and answered pitifully, "Oh, I'm thinking about when I can eat. I'm hungry!" Her charming voice made the listeners' hearts go soft.

"It's still early, wait for your dad to come back before we start eating. If you're hungry, I'll get you a cake to eat!" Her mother said with concern.

"No need, Mom. I'll wait for dad and the rest to come back before I eat!" Zhang Xiaoyu looked at her mother in front of her and thought of her parents. If she couldn't go home, how sad would they be? Luckily she still had a brother that could take care of them, even though he didn't have much ability. However, with his good character, he would definitely not mistreat his parents.

Sigh! Zhang Xiaoyu sighed in her heart. She had taken her body without knowing or knowing anything, but luckily, she inherited the original owner's memories. Otherwise, she wouldn't know what to do. However, for some reason, the original owner's memories were fragmented. Many of them were vague, perhaps because he was too young.

This was just a small mountain village, and there were only a hundred families. Although her family was poor, they weren't abused. Other than her brother, there was also her elder sister, who was already married.

At noon, her father and brother returned. The one walking in front with the hoe on his shoulder was her father, Zhang Daniu, 45 years old, a true farmer. Because his arm wasn't healed yet, he didn't go to work.

Her brother, Zhang Xiaoquan, was 15 years old. He grew up with his father and had dark skin. Occasionally, he would go work for the owner to get money.

"Father, you're back?" Zhang Xiaoyu happily greeted her father.

"Hmm, are you feeling better?" His father asked Zhang Xiaoyu in concern.

"I feel much better. I don't feel too bad anymore."

"Right." Then her father touched Xiaoyu's head and said nothing. He put down his hoe and sat down on a stool.
