My Wife Is the Capitalist Heiress of the 1970s - Chapter 2
Zhou Wenshan took a big bite of the cornbread, but it felt a bit rough on his throat, so he quickly drank some corn porridge and swallowed it!
Cornbread made from cornmeal, corn porridge made from cornmeal!
By the way, here they call corn “bangzi” and cornmeal “bangzi mian”!
It has a strong sense of nostalgia and rural charm!
I took another bite of the pickled vegetables, and they were incredibly salty!
This is probably because they’re afraid others will eat too much, so they pickle it so salty. With just a small radish strip, Zhou Wenshan can drink a whole bowl of corn porridge!
You don’t even need to eat a second one!
Zhou Wenshan ate it for several days, but he still couldn’t get used to it!
He felt he had lost weight from hunger these past few days.
However, the original owner wasn’t fat before!
She is 1.82 meters tall and weighs only about 130 kilograms!
She’s not skinny, but she’s about the same size.
Looking at the cornbread in my hand, then at the corn porridge in my bowl, and the pickled vegetables on my plate, I thought, “If I could gain weight like this, that would be a real gift!”
It’s been a week, and he hasn’t eaten a single egg, let alone any meat!
Don’t get me wrong, there aren’t any unreasonable idiots in this family, like favoring the eldest son or mistreating the youngest son. No!
We have three laying hens at home, and they lay two or three eggs every day!
But Liu Cuihua collected them all and exchanged them for money. An egg was worth eight cents, and she could earn one or two mao a day!
The whole family couldn’t bear to eat a single one!
Zhou Wenshan had no excuse to eat them, because the money he got from exchanging the eggs was meant to be saved for his wedding!
To save up for his wedding dowry, not only his parents, but even his brother and sister-in-law ate radishes and pickled vegetables!
What reason would he have to ask for eggs or other delicious food?
Aren’t you ashamed?
Ten minutes later, Zhou Wenshan finished the two cornbreads and drank two bowls of corn porridge. There was still about half a plate of pickled vegetables left, so it was impossible to tell how much he had eaten!
After finishing his meal, Zhou Wenshan wiped his mouth!
I ate about 70% full for breakfast.
A half-grown boy, eating his father out of house and home.
Zhou Wenshan is currently eating his biggest meal, and since these coarse grains aren’t very filling, his stomach will start growling with hunger in less than two hours!
Sigh, when Zhou Wenshan first transmigrated, he knew that the original owner of this body shared the same name and was also tall and handsome!
He was happy for a long time, after all, before he transmigrated, he was just a lowly beast of burden!
Everything fits the identity of a transmigrator; there should be a system around him, right?
At least in all the time-travel novels he’d read over the years, the protagonists who traveled through time always had a system, a cheat code, or a spatial ability!
Otherwise, how would the protagonist’s specialness be highlighted?
But~
However, he tried various commands to wake up the system: “System Daddy, System Grandpa, System Master, System Son, you stupid system! Die, you idiot system!”
I’ve also wondered if his cheat ability is a spatial dimension, or if there’s some treasure that requires him to bind it to his blood before this space will appear!
Then one night, he secretly took a kitchen knife and, despite the pain, slashed his finger!
Then, inside the room, he smeared everything that might be a spatial treasure with his blood!
They didn’t even spare the spittoon!
The result was the same; there was simply no space!
Then the smell of blood filled the room, which his parents noticed. They kicked the door open and were nearly scared to death when they saw the bloodstains all over the room!
They only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Zhou Wenshan had only cut his finger!
His father was so angry that he chased after him with a broom, hitting him until the broom broke. “You’re such a spineless coward! Someone broke off an engagement and you don’t want to live anymore? You even tried to commit suicide like that? Why are you cutting your fingers? Cut your throat!”
Then his mother went on top of it!
His brother and sister-in-law stood to the side, not daring to say a word!
He had his own grievances he couldn’t express, and he simply couldn’t explain his behavior!
He was scolded mercilessly for most of the night!
After that, he stopped thinking about the system and the space altogether!
Let’s just live our lives properly!
However, not everything has remained unchanged!
He felt his strength gradually increasing, and his memory was also improving!
This can be considered a perk he gets for having traveled through time!
However, this advantage is nothing compared to other transmigrators who have both systems and spaces!
Zhou Wenshan let his mind wander for a moment, then went out!
He closed the gate, locked it, and hurried towards the direction of the farmland that his family had been allocated, as he remembered it!
Although he is a 21st-century animal and is not used to doing farm work, he has to adapt as soon as possible!
Having retained the original owner’s memories, he still knew how to do the job!
On the way, Zhou Wenshan met two villagers and greeted them with a smile, “Uncle Liu, Uncle Zhao, are you heading to the fields?”
The two middle-aged men opposite were taken aback and responded, “Yes, get down to the ground. Zhou Xiaoer, where are you going?”
Zhou Wenshan’s face darkened. What Zhou Xiaoer? What nonsense!
Why can’t you just call him by his full name, Zhou Wenshan?
However, that’s how it is in the village, and the original owner was used to being called that since childhood, so she didn’t think anything of it.
But Zhou Wenshan is not used to it now!
However, he couldn’t argue with that, so he could only continue, “I’m going to work in the fields too, Uncle Liu, Uncle Zhao, I’m off!”
After saying that, he walked into the field!
Behind them, Grandpa Liu and Uncle Zhao glanced at Zhou Wenshan’s retreating figure.
“This kid seems a little different than before!”
“Maybe he was upset because the brigade leader’s daughter broke off his engagement, and that’s how he changed his personality!”
“That’s great! Before, all I did was study, and I wouldn’t even greet people when we bumped into each other. Now I’ve become more polite!”
“That’s true.”
Zhou Wenshan quickly found the rice paddy that his family had been allocated!
Their family has five members, and today they were allocated three mu of land!
I’ll only get full work points if I plant rice seedlings on all three acres of land today!
If you don’t finish the work, you’ll lose work points!
These three acres are quite large; it would take the family of five a long time to finish them in a single day!
Upon arriving at the field, Zhou Wenshan took off his shoes and went barefoot, ready to work in the fields!
“Big brother, is this the land our family was allocated?”
Before starting work, he had to confirm that it was the rice paddy allocated to his family.
Otherwise, if you end up doing work on someone else’s land and don’t get any work points, people will laugh at you!
The eldest brother, Zhou Wenhai, glanced back and said, “This is our land. Xiao Er, take your time. It’s alright. Take a break if you get tired!”
Zhou Wenshan sighed inwardly. He was being called “Little Er” again, and by his elder brother no less!
“Big brother, please call me by my name from now on, don’t call me Xiao Er anymore, it sounds awful. Also, don’t underestimate me, I’ll catch up with you in no time!”
