[Historical setting + farming + adorable child + slow pace + daily life + family drama + no golden finger]
Grandpa Yun, Yun Suanpan, gets hold of a heavenly book. It says, "Yun Jiaojiao is the reincarnation of a lucky star, while Yun Shu is a disaster star."
He has people trick the little fool Yun Shu into eating poisonous wild grass, but instead he ends up with a living calamity who specializes in making his life miserable.
Modern-day Yun Shu transmigrates into the body of a five-year-old little fool in ancient times.
A biased grandfather, an honest father, a hot-tempered mother, and a brother who can really eat.
The family is so poor they're reduced to chewing tree bark.
Yun Shu waves a hand. "Getting food is easy!"
She scrapes white frost from the corner of an outdoor latrine wall to make ice. Selling ice pops for food may not make them rich, but at least they won't go hungry.
Her cousins next door try to come and take it.
Yun Shu rallies the troops and leads a gang of little kids to beat them until their heads are covered in scratches.
The autumn harvest is almost here, but the family of seven has only two sickles. A sickle costs eighty coins, and her parents can only sigh in worry.
Yun Shu says, "Who says you need money to buy one?"
They don't have the means to forge metal, but that doesn't mean they can't smelt wrought iron.
She builds a kiln in an uninhabited area, and the family is stunned when the firewood turns to charcoal.
Burning rocks over charcoal really does produce lumps of iron.
They trade more than thirty pounds of iron for hoes, woodcutting knives, sickles, hammers, a curved-beam plow...
The neighbors watch them bring one piece of farm equipment after another home, so jealous their teeth are practically grinding to dust.
Yun Suanpan pokes the lucky baby's head. "Aren't you supposed to be a lucky baby? How did the disaster star outshine you?"
Lucky Baby rubs her head. What can she do? She's helpless too!!!
