The pastoral concubine of space

Chapter 4 Footsteps

After the family of three filled their stomachs, Yunchu brought the washed cherry tomatoes and strawberries to the two children as after-dinner fruits, but they had never seen these two kinds of fruits before, and the two little guys looked very strange. surprise.

"Mom, is this fruit? It's so red, it looks delicious!" Xiao Zixi's big watery eyes burst out with unprecedented light, and he sniffed with his nose unconsciously, then cupped his small face in his hands and was intoxicated: "The taste is also delicious!"

Although Xiao Zichen was equally curious, his focus was always different from that of his younger sister, "Mom, where did you get these fruits? Why haven't we seen them before?"

Yunchu rubbed his son's hair, helplessly, "Children don't care what to do, if you have something to eat, you can eat it at ease, mother can still hurt you, this is called holy maiden fruit, this is strawberry, they are all delicious Fruits are not available outside, quickly taste the taste, whether you like it or not, if you like it, the stepmother will bring it to you."

While she was speaking, Xiao Zixi couldn't wait to pick up a huge strawberry and took a bite. The taste that she had never eaten before melted in her mouth in an instant. The full flesh and sweet and sour juice made the excited little girl stare wide. The big round eyes were not willing to swallow the pulp, so they said vaguely and excitedly: "It's so delicious! It's so sweet!"

Seeing that his son didn't know how to do it just by looking at it, Yun Chu simply picked up a big red strawberry and stuffed it directly into his mouth, Xiao Zichen subconsciously bit the soft flesh, and his subsequent reaction was similar to that of his sister Well, I didn't say much, but the expression was very satisfied. The little face that had been pretending to be like a little adult before showed an intoxicated look, not to mention how cute it is.

She doesn't intend to pamper the child too much, but since this is not the end of the world, the child should look like a child. No matter how difficult the family is, these things should be the adults' concern. Why use him as a kid to follow along? worry?
After eating the strawberries, the two ate cherry tomatoes again. It has a completely different texture and taste from strawberries, but it is also sour and sweet, and it is especially delicious. An air of reluctance and aftertaste.

Yunchu reminded with a smile, "In the future, as long as you want to eat these fruits, you can have as many as you want, and you can eat them as a meal!" However, it is not the case to always take them from the space. The whole strawberry seedlings were planted in the vegetable garden to make a show.

After washing all the empty dishes in the kitchen and putting them in order, Yunchu had the opportunity to get out of the thatched hut where he was currently living, to go outside to see the situation in the village, and to sort out the memory of the original owner about this era by the way.

The country she traveled to was named Da Zhou, which had nothing to do with the Da Zhou in the history she knew. It was an unfamiliar dynasty, and the village she was currently in was located in the north of the Da Zhou Kingdom, called Youxi Village, and was small in scale. , the location is ordinary, there is nothing special about it, if there are any advantages, it is probably a paradise with mountains and rivers and pleasant scenery, so it can be called a paradise?
Looking at the entire ancient background, many places are full of mountains and rivers, and the population is more than a star and a half less than modern times. This environment is not worth mentioning at present. For those who are used to the end of the world, except for a few survival bases, other places are barren and dilapidated. For Yunchu, it couldn't be better.

Of course, no matter how good the senses are, it's still hard to hide that Youxi Village itself is an ordinary, small village in the backcountry.

The original owner and the two children are not authentic Youxi villagers. They have only been here for half a year, and the original owner's original household registration is in the capital.

Yunchu learned from his memory the real identity and background of the owner of this body, and a headache appeared on his face.

When she heard the word capital, her first reaction was only two words - trouble!
This is indeed the case, but don't get me wrong, the original owner didn't have a bunch of top-notch relatives, and he didn't experience any vulgar plots such as being kicked out of the house with a good background, but some special backgrounds and tortuous experiences are true.

Xiao Yunchu was originally the daughter-in-law of the servant of the household department in the capital, and her family was harmonious. Although there must be aunts in the family, brothers and sisters from concubines, the relationship is not bad, but the family has undergone great changes. , was framed for corruption and bribery and several other crimes, and ended up in exile.

Xiao's father committed suicide within a few days of being imprisoned in the sky prison. Xiao's mother was not in good health. Once she learned that Xiao's father was dead, she couldn't hold on for a few days. The rest of the Xiao family, including Xiao Yunchu, However, he was exiled and was about to go to the most barren and flustered northwest border of the Great Zhou Kingdom. It is said that the people who were exiled there could not live for more than three years, and even died on many roads. Whether it was exhaustion, illness, or the decompression of the prisoner's officials It's unknown if you die.

In short, there is really no way out if you go to the Northwest. Fortunately, Xiao's father had an old friend who had a lot of money and seemed to have a lot of status. When the rest of the Xiao family was exiled, he managed to rescue her and sent her away secretly. , no matter where you go, as long as you stay away from the capital, never go back, live a low-key life, no one will care about the traces of the fallen Xiao family, Xiao Yunchu avoided the worst consequences.

In the beginning, the little pregnant woman was settled in a small county town quite far away from here by that old friend. He even found a small yard for her to live in, and left a sum of money. As long as Xiao Yunchu didn't commit suicide, the future would be better It's not too bad to be so rich in the capital.

But some accidents cannot be avoided in this world, and the two children Xiao Zichen and Xiao Zixi are the products of that accident.

Later, Xiao Yunchu accidentally cut off contact with that old man, and then brought his two children to Youxi Village, settled in the village with the little money left, and bought a small piece of land, which is where this hut is located. .

Originally, the money that the old lady handed over to her was enough for her to use for a long time, but Xiao Yunchu didn't have to give birth, she was just a young lady who was born with a golden spoon in her mouth. Even after overcoming the difficulties, my body has become much weaker, and I often have to spend money on medicines.

Compared to being in Youxi Village now, Xiao Yunchu, who didn't come here when she gave birth, was in another village, lacked life experience and had no defense against others, but suffered a lot and learned a lesson.

After coming to Youxi Village, his body has not fully recovered, and his relationship with the villagers is not close, so life is not going well either.

Now there are only a few hundred copper plates left in the house, and it seems that they will not be able to open the pot.

Except for these hundreds of copper coins, which can barely be called a relatively valuable 'family property', there is only a small two acres of inferior land, and one rooster and two hens. The chicken is just like the two children, it looks malnourished, there is not much meat, and it is estimated that it will not lay many eggs.

There is a small vegetable field at the back of the hut, in which some seasonal vegetables are grown. The vegetables are not neatly grown, scattered, and the quantity is scarce. It has been six or seven years since the original owner's family changed, but because of an accidental unmarried I was in poor health after giving birth, and most of my energy was spent looking after the two children. So far, I have not been able to learn the basics of farming and vegetable cultivation. It is quite intoxicating to think about it.

If it wasn't for some money left before, and the family didn't grow enough to eat, they could buy some rice grains and vegetables directly from the villagers, and they might have starved to death with their two children.

There are not many kinds of vegetables grown in the vegetable field, basically cucumbers, potatoes, and some spinach, with two rows of leeks and a row of green onions on the side.

In her known history, cucumbers and potatoes were imported from abroad, but the Great Zhou Kingdom is different. Many vegetables are unique to the local area, including cucumbers, potatoes and spinach. Because of this, the two children used to eat Nothing was wrong when it came to dishes made of cucumbers and potatoes.

The fruits of the Great Zhou Kingdom were similar to the ones she remembered, with fewer varieties and tastes not as good as those eaten in modern times after many generations of improvement.

There are definitely no cherry tomatoes and strawberries, including a lot of fruits in her space, but she is unwilling to change places and endures having good things not to enjoy. She doesn’t steal or snatch them. Hiding?Absolutely not!
Just in order to avoid someone discovering that her space is abnormal and the source of things is a problem, she has to find a way to put some plants in the space on the bright side.

Just as he was thinking about how to appear naturally less conspicuous, Yun Chu, who had long been used to being vigilant at all times, heard footsteps not far away. .
