Everyday Farming and Family Life in Ancient Times

[Farming + Transmigration + Countryside + Gourmet + Historical Romance] Li Shuangshuang transmigrated, and from the start she found herself in a shabby thatched hut, with a frail mother-in-law and a little brother-in-law so hungry he was skin and bones. Poverty wasn’t scary, and being a widow wasn’t scary either. Getting a second chance at life was a good deal. As for having no food stored at home, all she had to do was roll up her sleeves and get to work. There were whole mountains nearby with no one to claim them. Why should she worry about starving? On his wedding day, Song An was conscripted to serve in the army after the country was thrown into turmoil by an enemy invasion. He was gone for five years. After victory, he asked his wise sovereign for permission to return home ahead of the others. He expected to hear that his family had been wiped out, and hurried home, only to find the place almost unrecognizable. The shabby thatched hut had become a spacious house with gray-brick walls and tiled roofs. His frail mother was healthier than before, and his little brother, now grown, was holding a book and wearing a scholar’s robes as he recited his lessons aloud in the courtyard. Beside him stood a smiling woman who seemed to be his wife. Everything seemed to be unfolding in ways he could never have anticipated.
