Chapter 6 Warmth
Time always flies, and before we knew it, it was almost evening.
At this moment, Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle Lin, Aunt Lin, and their parents returned from the fields.
Yun Dan, on the other hand, spent the whole day cultivating, and would stop to rest when she got tired.
Although she still appears somewhat weak, her condition has improved significantly compared to before.
At this moment, Yun Dan's head was still wrapped in strips of cloth, which did not look good, but at least her head was no longer in unbearable pain.
Yun Dan heard her family members returning outside and went out of the room.
When Yundan's grandparents saw her, they immediately asked with concern, "Girl, how does your head feel? Is there anything else that feels uncomfortable?"
Faced with this sudden act of care, Yun Dan couldn't help but feel flustered.
Although she had absorbed the original owner's memories, the two elderly people in front of her were ultimately not her true relatives.
Therefore, she felt very embarrassed and didn't know how to respond to this kindness and care.
"Grandpa, Xiaoya is much better now, her head doesn't hurt as much anymore." She said to her grandfather with a smile on her face.
Hearing her words, Grandpa smiled slightly, his eyes full of doting affection, and said with a smile, "Good, good, it's good that it doesn't hurt. It's a good thing that you can get out of bed."
"Let's see if you'll still be naughty and climb all over the place in the future." He gently stroked Yun Dan's head, as if scolding her but also feeling sorry for her.
At this moment, Grandma slowly walked up to Yundan, tears welling up in her eyes, and said in a choked voice, "You silly girl, there can't be a next time, it's too dangerous!"
She reached out and gently stroked Yun Dan's face, her eyes filled with worry and concern.
Yun Dan felt the care and love from the two elderly people, and her heart was filled with warmth and gratitude.
She knew they genuinely cared about her, so she nodded obediently and replied with a smile, "I know, Grandma, I won't worry you anymore."
Da Ya arrived at this time as well.
"Little girl, does your head still hurt? You scared me to death yesterday. You can't climb trees anymore, look how badly you fell and hurt yourself."
Yun Dan felt that this family was really too hospitable, and she couldn't keep up for a while.
"Big sister, I'm fine. I'm all better now, and my headache doesn't hurt anymore."
"Okay, it's good that it doesn't hurt anymore. You should rest well, I'm going to cook."
Except for Xiaoya, all the women in the family were busy cooking.
The gentlemen also got busy with their own affairs.
Grandpa then started repairing the bamboo basket. His hands moved swiftly up and down, and it seemed the basket would be fixed in no time.
My uncle was sharpening his sickle, occasionally pouring water onto the blade and testing its sharpness with his hand, muttering to himself, "I can use this sickle to cut grass tomorrow!"
The Lin family is a large family with ten members. Because the elders are still alive, they don't separate the household, so everyone lives together.
Despite their limited means, the family members get along very well. When faced with difficulties, they always work together, support each other, and overcome every obstacle together.
Although the house was somewhat dilapidated, it was spacious enough, with a total of six rooms.
Among them, the grandparents have one room, the uncle's family has two rooms, Yundan's family has two rooms, and one room is used as a kitchen.
The family owns a total of 20 mu of land, of which 5 mu are of superior quality, more than 10 mu are of medium quality, and the rest are of inferior quality.
The annual harvest is barely enough to support the family.
When they're not busy with farming, Uncle Lin and Father Lin would go to town to find work.
Under normal circumstances, ordinary people could earn 20-30 coins a day. Although the income was meager, it was better than nothing.
And so, the family lived a simple and happy life. They knew how to be content with what they had, cherished everything they had, and were full of hope for the future.
Although they didn't earn much money, they wouldn't starve. Everyone in their family was a farmer; none of them were educated.
Although the living environment is simple and unpretentious, it is filled with a warm and loving atmosphere.
After a busy half hour, it was time to eat. Grandma even cooked an egg for Yundan so she could nourish her body.
Looking at the simple meal on the table, Yun Dan couldn't help but feel a little touched.
Although they were just ordinary dishes, they were filled with the warmth and care of home.
She gratefully accepted the eggs from her grandmother, and looking at the kind smile on her grandmother's face, her heart was filled with happiness.
Yun Dan gently peeled open the eggshell, took a bite of the yolk, and the rich flavor instantly spread in her mouth.
She chewed slowly, savoring the unique sweetness. At this moment, a slight blush rose to her cheeks, as if she were blushing.
She smiled sheepishly, then quietly ate another egg.
After finishing their meals, most people in ancient rural areas would choose to rest early, since they had to work in the fields every day and were very tired after a long day of work.
Yun Dan returned to her room, lay quietly on her bed, and began to think about how she should live her life in the future.
This was the first time she had ever encountered something like time travel, and the current situation left her completely bewildered.
In her previous life, she had read many novels, some of which contained detailed descriptions of the male-dominated and female-subordinate phenomenon in ancient times.
Fortunately, there was no abuse of women in this family.
Otherwise, Yun Dan might need to re-examine and rethink her lifestyle in ancient times.
And just like that, the night passed quickly.
The next morning, Yun Dan took off the cloth strip from her head. Her dry, yellow hair revealed just how arduous life was for people in ancient times.
Being able to eat your fill is already a blessing. As for modern health regimens, ha... you're dreaming.
Yun Dan touched the injured area on the back of her head, unsure if it was due to Xiao Yu's energy helping her.
Whether it was due to my own transmigration that led to the rapid recovery, the injured area has completely healed.
Yun Dan walked to the box where she kept her clothes, picked up another set of clothes from her memory, and placed it on the bed.
Turning my head to look at this ancient room, I felt like ten thousand alpacas were galloping over my head.
In my past life, I would read novels and imagine myself as the characters, feeling that if I were to travel back to ancient times one day, I would be just as terrifyingly strong as those protagonists.
When it's actually your turn, you'll be completely bewildered and have no idea where to start.
Yun Dan walked out of the room like a cheerful little bird, greeting everyone she met, and then walked into the kitchen.
She skillfully picked up the bucket, filled it with clean water, and then grabbed a bundle of firewood from the corner to prepare water for washing.
All of this was not easy for Yun Dan, because as a modern person who grew up in the city, she had never used such a primitive method to boil water.
If it weren't for the original owner's memories, even starting a fire would probably be a problem.
Fortunately, after some effort, Yun Dan finally managed to light the firewood and boil the water.
Looking at the boiling water, Yun Dan smiled with satisfaction, thinking to herself, "Looks like I'm quite talented!"
Next, she poured boiling water into the wooden bucket, then added some cold water until the water temperature was just right.
After doing all that, Yun Dan finally breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to herself, "Finally, I can take a shower! I haven't showered for three days, and I feel like I'm turning into a bedbug."
As she spoke, she carried the wooden bucket back to the room and simply hung a piece of cloth on the window to block the view.
Although she knew no one else was spying on her, as a modern person, she still couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.
-
He rubbed his whole body vigorously, then picked up a soap pod and started rubbing himself from head to toe again.
Finally, after tidying myself up nicely, I dried myself off and got dressed. Still wearing the same patched clothes, I threw the old clothes into the bucket to wash.
After tidying them up, they were placed on a bamboo rack outside to dry.
Then I planned to go out to the fields to see how everyone was planting and weeding.
I ran into my best friend as soon as I stepped out. It's been three days since the accident, and she's been very worried about Yun Dan—no, she's worried about Xiao Ya.
As soon as the little girl saw Yun Dan leave, she asked, "Little girl, are you all better? Does your head still hurt? Why did you get out of bed?"
Yun Dan saw the little girl's concerned eyes and recalled their time together.
This is a girl named Su Xiaoyue. Because she was born on the night of the fullest moon (the fifteenth of the lunar month), her grandfather named her Xiaoyue (meaning "little moon"). Xiaoyue also has two older brothers.
Yun Dan looked at the girl in front of her, who was half a head taller than her. Her eyes were clear and her skin was a little dark.
But her features are very delicate, especially her big eyes, which look like bright stars.
Yun Dan thought to herself, "This must be Xiao Ya's best friend. She looks quite cute."
So he smiled and said to her, "Xiaoyue, I'm much better now, don't worry! Thank you for visiting me~"
Xiaoyue breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Yundan's words, then took Yundan's hand and said, "That's great! You have no idea how worried I was about you the day before yesterday."
Thankfully you're alright, but you should take care of yourself and get some rest; don't overwork yourself.
Yun Dan smiled and said to her, "Okay, let's go take a look at the fields now!"
Xiaoyue readily agreed, and the two went to the fields together.
They walked and talked along the way. Yun Dan enjoyed the beautiful scenery of this ancient natural landscape.
