It was almost dusk, and the summer sun was still hanging high above the sky, the leaves were white, the weather was so hot that there was no wind, and the heat seemed to be floating around, making people unable to breathe, and cicadas were still chirping in the grass.

Taohua Village was also wrapped in this layer of hot air, and the earth was roasted as if it was being put on a stove. Several local dogs in the village were lazily sticking out their tongues and lying on the ground, listlessly half-closing their eyes.

Zhang Chuxia squatted on a stone under a tree by the stream in the village, holding her chin with her hands and frowned, as if she was very unhappy. Anyone who woke up and came to this strange place of unknown age for no reason, would probably not be in a good mood, even if she stayed in this place for two weeks.

From modern times, she is trying to digest the fact that she travels through time and cannot go back. She never expected that she just fainted on the road and woke up from an adult to a nine-year-old girl with a pale face and skinny face.

In her previous life, she lived with her grandmother. When her parents were very young, the family of three went out to have a car accident. In order to protect her, both of her parents died tragically. At that time, she had almost no memory. After her grandmother took her home from the hospital, she kept her by her side, and the grandparents and grandchildren depended on each other for life.

Before the parents had an accident, their family lived in the city and grandma lived in the countryside. After the accident, they lived in the countryside with grandma.

Grandma is from a rural area. After her father got married and had children in the city, she always wanted to take her grandma to live in the city, but she was rejected by her grandma. She finished elementary school in the village, then went to the town to study junior high school, high school in the city, and she was admitted to university in the year of the London Olympics. Although she had no parents' company since she was a child, her grandma loved her a lot. She also planned to be filial to her grandma after graduation. But just when she was looking for a job after graduation, her grandma unfortunately died due to an accident. She was sad and finally got out of a confused state a month later and embarked on the road to seek a job. Unexpectedly, she fainted on the road after the interview and woke up and found that she was in such a strange place.

The weather that day was still as hot as today. She opened her eyes by the dryness and thirst of her throat. What caught her eye was the roof made of thatch and a huge spider web in the corner. Looking around, she closed her eyes, took a breath and opened her eyes. After looking at it for a while, she closed her eyes again and again, and then repeatedly confirmed the fact that she had traveled through time.

She turned over and sat up, looking at her short arms and legs, she suddenly reached her hand to her crotch and let out a breath a few seconds later. Her gender did not change, and she was still a woman.

In her previous life, she also liked reading novels. She had planned to write novels, but after all, she just thought about it and never wrote it. She is familiar with the plot of time travel in the novel, but the heroine did not travel to become a concubine in time travel, and at least she was a lady. Why did it be her turn to become a village girl?

She sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her legs hanging by the bed, unable to reach the ground, and silently wiped her tears in her heart.

The summer sun was so vicious that the original owner had somehow been burning under the scorching sun. After returning home, he was careful not to hold on and then passed by. He took over the original owner's body and took over. At that time, the original owner's family was busy with farm work outside, and there was no one at home, so naturally he didn't notice it.

In order not to let the whole family see the abnormality, she has been speaking carefully for the past two weeks, not doing anything in a proper way, and acted as much as a child. Fortunately, she was busy with farming and adults went out early and came back late. Perhaps because the original owner's personality was like this, the whole family did not notice anything abnormal.

During this period, she was also actively trying to find a way to get back, but everything was futile. In the end, she had to comfort herself and be at ease.

Squatting on the stone, she was in a very nostalgic vest, barefoot, air conditioner, watermelon, and smiled without fear of the heat. After all, the promised life was given by the air conditioner. But the reality was that she could only find a shade, take some natural wind, face the loess, and count the ant forty-five degrees.

For naughty children, no matter how hot the weather is, they cannot stop their fun. There is a stream in the village, the river is clear and the water is not deep, there are no big fish, prawns, and there are still a lot of small shrimps. When it comes to summer, it becomes a paradise for children.

"Early summer, come down to play with water. The water is so cool." Liu Cuicui, who was sitting by the stream, rolled up her trouser legs, put her feet into the water, and turned around to call the early summer on the shore.

Although there is a difference between men and women, there are not so many things for rural children. At this moment, the stream is full of little kids. The boys are playing naked in the water or sucking shrimps. The girls are sitting next to them. In addition to Liu Cuicui just now, there are several girls of similar age.

"No, I'll go home later." Chu Xia rejected her friend's suggestion. She squatted on the shore and saw that an adult from the field had finished his work.

Taohua Village has a good planning and layout. The villagers' living area is on the south side of the stream, the farmland is on the north side of the stream, and the paddy fields are on the edge of the embankment close to the Han River, which facilitates canal water irrigation.

Adults who came back from the farmland had to pass by the stone bridge on the stream, but the children were still unaware of it and were having fun.

"Goudan, how many times have I told you not to play with water? Do you take my words as wind in your ears?" I saw a woman wearing coarse linen standing on the stone bridge and yelling.

The obviously lively scene became quiet. In the stream, a thin boy like a monkey was busy jumping up the shore, running and saying, "Mom, I never dared it again."

"It's over, Goudan will be beaten again this time."

"When will he not get beaten?"

"I only heard him screaming when he was beaten at home yesterday, but it was so miserable~" said the little boy from the neighbor of Goudan next to him.

After hearing this, the boys burst into laughter.

And Goudan, who ran to the shore, was being pulled by his mother and pulled her ears to her home.

Some children came ashore one after another, some were called away by adults passing by, and some had to go home to help with housework. After a while, people left.

Liu Cuicui called her before she stood up and the two went home together.

Liu Cuicui is two years older than her, and also has a pale face and thin skin. The children in the village are like this. They are malnourished and have a slightly darker skin than her. Judging from the current situation, this girl should be the original good little playmate. After several days of contact, she found that this girl is indeed very good.

Walking back all the way, there are tall and short thatched huts or earthen houses on both sides, and occasionally one or two large blue brick houses dotted among them, which is particularly eye-catching. Such families are wealthy families in the village, which are probably the same as ten thousand yuan households in the 1990s. After all, not everyone can live in such a house.

After turning a corner and walking for nearly a hundred meters, a large yard appeared in front of her. She waved her hand and said goodbye to Liu Cuicui, saying that she had arrived. Liu Cuicui continued to walk forward, her home was at the end of this row house.

The yard is made of thorns on the roadside, with some withered branches and leaves on it. Two wooden boards were used in the gate. The entire living area of ​​Taohua Village is quite large. Because most of the families in the village live together for generations and have a large population, the area of ​​the villagers is relatively large. Basically, each family has a yard. For example, Zhang Chuxia's family in this lifetime, the main house and the yard can be almost four or five hundred square meters, but the land is large, and the house is just like other families, just a thatched earthen house.

Logically speaking, Taohua Village has a good geographical location and fertile land. It is not a barren hilly place. There is also the Han River flowing through the village. Not far away, there is a forest, which can be said to be surrounded by mountains and rivers. In modern terms, such a place is like the rural water town in the south of the Yangtze River. Although it is not as rich as the world's largest village in Huaxi Village, there is still no big problem with food and clothing.

There are several adjacent villages nearby. I think Taohua Village is a relatively wealthy village compared to them.

The actual situation in Taohua Village is that most of the families in the village are still struggling with food and clothing, and a few families are like village chiefs, doctors in the village, carpenters with skills, etc. The family situation of these people is slightly better than that of ordinary families.

From this, Chuxia had to sigh that no matter when, where, in which dynasty, it is easier for those who are officials and those who have the skills to live.

But she didn't understand why Taohua Village has such a good geographical advantage, the farmers are not lazy, and why the entire village is still so poor.

In ancient times, we basically rely on old people to make a living. God appreciates his face. If there is a good weather in one year, we can get a good harvest. If there is a drought or flood, we can still pick up something from the ground. If the bad ones are not good, we will have no harvest. Moreover, in ancient times, we had limited planting technology and capabilities. In modern times, we used machines to make fertilizer. We can replenish what we lack. We can buy fertilizer directly from the store. Where did fertilizers in ancient times? They all accumulated bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit, and then applied to the fields. This field is the lifeblood of farmers' lives. Most of the income comes from the ground and needs to be carefully managed. In modern times, we can only take machines from planting to harvesting. In ancient times, we could only rely on manpower. Even so, there was not much income.

Of course, the yield of a mu of land in ancient times was incomparable to modern times. It also involved natural disasters and man-made disasters, and also had to pay the land tax. Except for the cost of seeds invested in the fields, there were not many that were finally put into your hands, and most families were struggling to live.

Of course, the Zhang family is no exception.

Farmers pay attention to working from sunrise to sunset. They don’t know much about this place in early summer and can’t run too far. They stay at the entrance of the village and by the stream every day, familiarizing themselves with the surrounding environment, and come back in the evening.

When I pushed the door open into the yard in early summer, wisps of smoke came out of the kitchen roof, and someone at home was already preparing supper.
