The fourth year of Zhenguan, June.

Nineteen-year-old Zhang Yang was busy at the edge of a field, pushing a large stone and grinding rice repeatedly.

Because there was no grinding disc at home, Zhang Yang had to push a large and bulky stone.

Rice is rare in this year, and last year Zhang Yang bought some rice seeds from a Lingnan merchant, which were planted in the spring season this year, and can now be harvested.

Although the rice grains planted are not full, there is not much rice that can be eaten on a rice plant, which is enough for himself and his daughter-in-law to eat a meal of rice.

Coming to this dynasty, Zhang Yang was a poor person, his family didn't even have an acre of land that could be cultivated, and he could only dig a field by himself to farm, and it couldn't be too big, otherwise the villagers would come to make trouble.

The rice was grown by digging a paddy field by the river.

Sweat had soaked his clothes, Zhang Yang looked at the pale yellow rice that had been milled out of the shell, and smiled with satisfaction.

Because of the relationship between water and soil, rice is rarely eaten in Guanzhong, and ordinary people eat corn.

The little daughter-in-law said that she had eaten rice once when she was a child, and seeing the yearning in her eyes when she told it, Zhang Yang said that she would let her eat it again.

Put all the milled rice into a cloth bag, and not a single grain should be dropped, and there should be about three catties.

Straightening up with difficulty, Zhang Yang relaxed his sore back, wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked home.

The home is in Chang'an City, a house on the corner of Dongshi Street.

The folk customs of the Tang Dynasty are fierce and simple, and there are often scenes of housewives beating their husbands.

The little daughter-in-law was coaxed by Zhang Yang with the earthy love words he learned in his previous life.

Li Yue's complexion is much better now than before, and he is no longer so pale.

When she was a child, her qi and blood were not good, and it is said that she should be anemic when she was a child.

It's just that her anemia is a little severe, and her complexion is still a little pale, but it's better than before.

The little daughter-in-law is still too young, only fourteen years old this year, and it is also the time to grow her body, so she must take care of it.

The house is not big or small, and it was left by her parents.

Watching Zhang Yang come back sweating profusely, the collar of his shirt was wet.

Li Yue frowned and looked at him and said, "Are you going out to work as a coolie again?" ”

Zhang Yang carried a cloth bag full of rice and said, "Look at what this is?" ”

Li Yue looked down at the cloth bag, "Ah! Rice! ”

Li Yue, who was surprised, picked up a handful of rice and looked at it repeatedly, then looked up at Zhang Yang and put down the rice with a frown.

She wiped Zhang Yang's sweat with her sleeve and said, "I've suffered a lot, rice is expensive." ”

Zhang Yang grinned, "There are still some bacon and wild vegetables at home, let's eat rice at night." ”

After speaking, Zhang Yang walked into the backyard of his home and began to work.

After lighting the tandoor, Zhang Yang put the washed rice into a clean small tripod, which was just the right size, and put on a lid to start cooking the rice.

This little tripod is one of the most valuable things in the house.

Generally speaking, tripods can only be used by powerful families.

Li Yue couldn't tell the origin of this Xiaoding, but said that he was at home a long time ago.

There is no decent cooking utensils at home, so this small tripod is used as a pot.

Because she is poor, the little daughter-in-law has her own house.

I heard the little daughter-in-law say before that his father never came back after going far away, and his mother died of dystocia during childbirth, and there was only one grandmother at home to take care of her.

After the two got married, the grandmother died.

Li Yue cried very sadly at that time.

The wedding of the two was simple, with no one to be the matchmaker and no guests.

Under the auspices of the grandmother, the two are married.

Because Li Yue's poor health and age are too young, Zhang Yang has always disagreed to have sex with her.

After the death of the grandmother, only the husband and wife were left in the family to live, although the life was poor, but it could also solve the problem of food and clothing.

said that his father had gone far away and never came back, but Zhang Yang thought that this man probably thought that his daughter-in-law had given birth to a daughter and was weak and sick, so he left.

Maybe you've started another family outside.

In these years, there are also men who are inferior to women, especially in the position of giving birth to boys and girls, many families only need boys.

Zhang Yang was very disgusted with this backward thinking in his heart.

According to the people around him, he entered the woman's house to live, and the neighbors around him also had some gossip.

However, traveling to this era, Zhang Yang, who has lived for two lifetimes, has never considered this problem.

As long as the little daughter-in-law is doing well with herself.

Rice was served, along with a plate of wild vegetables and a plate of bacon.

The couple sat and ate together.

Li Yue sat on the chair made by Zhang Yang, holding the rice bowl and eating a mouthful of rice, her eyes narrowed happily.

The chair was too high, Li Yue's feet did not touch the ground, and he dangled his feet happily.

After the meal, Li Yue washed the dishes and chopsticks and said, "Have you heard?" ”

Zhang Yang sat in the courtyard and said, "What did you hear? ”

Li Yue washed the dishes and chopsticks, rubbed Zhang Yang's shoulders and said: "The Turks were defeated by the Tang Dynasty, Jieli Khan was captured alive, and those small countries of Fanbang serve our Majesty as the Heavenly Khan." ”

The little daughter-in-law spoke, with some pride in her eyes.

I don't know why she cares so much about what is happening in the DPRK.

Zhang Yang was not interested in such a thing in the slightest.

Feeling the strength of his little daughter-in-law massaging his shoulder, Zhang Yang relaxed his body and said: "Presumably now Li Shimin's tail is about to rise to the sky, and he is extremely carried away." ”

Li Yue stretched out his slender finger and poked Zhang Yang's temple and said, "You call Your Majesty by your name again." ”

Zhang Yang looked around, "No one heard it." ”

Li Yueqiao glared at him.

The symptoms of anemia in the little daughter-in-law need to be supplemented with nutrition, and more importantly, blood and iron supplementation.

I don't know if I can buy some animal offal at the market tomorrow.

The night was getting darker, and Li Yue went to bed early.

After taking a shower with the water in the water tank at home, Zhang Yang changed into clean clothes and came to his room to take out a money bag.

Sitting on his bed, he counted the money one by one, roughly like the usual money.

This is the money saved during the year.

Before dawn, Zhang Yang went out early to catch the market, catching the market is a thing that makes people's blood boil, you go late, those cheap goods have long been picked up by sharp-eyed people.

On the street I bought some pork liver, and some dates, a few eggs, and a small half chicken.

Buy two more naan cakes for breakfast.

When he returned home, it was just dawn, Zhang Yang stewed the porridge, and when the porridge was fragrant, Li Yue also woke up.

The sleepy-eyed Li Yue walked out of his room, looked at Zhang Yang and said, "Do you still want to go out to work as a coolie today?" ”

There was some stubbornness in his words, as if he was saying that he was not allowed to do coolies today.
