Zhang Xiangnan has been a soldier for many years and his time to go home to visit his family is not fixed. He has to go back home after staying at home for only a few days, so the three siblings Zhang Shuguang have a big age gap.

"Good, good boy."

Liu Guixiang carried a basket and walked into the yard with her grandchildren.

"Big brother, give me a hug."

The little girl was barefoot and walked unsteadily due to malnutrition. She was wearing a homespun dress that was obviously made from old clothes.

"Pan Pan, baby, your big brother is tired, grandma will hold you."

Liu Guixiang quickly handed the basket to her second grandson Zhang Shengli and bent down to pick up her granddaughter.

"Xiao Guang, go back to the house and rest for a while. Grandma will call you when lunch is ready."

The old lady felt sorry for her eldest grandson and told him to go back to his room and rest.

Because Zhang Xiangnan had been a soldier for many years and received a monthly allowance, his family's house was considered one of the best in the village.

There are three main rooms, the middle one is the living room, and the family also eats here, so it can be said to be a dining and living room in one.

Zhang Qingchun and Liu Guixiang lived in the east bedroom, and brothers Zhang Shuguang and Zhang Shengli lived in the west bedroom.

There are also three rooms in the east wing, two of which are suites where Su Hong and her little daughter Zhang Panpan live, and the other one is a kitchen.

There is no house on the west side. There is a chicken coop with three hens. The family's oil, salt, sauce and vinegar all depend on the chicken butt bank.

"Okay, I'll take a break then."

Zhang Shuguang's legs were weak from hunger, and his whole body was sore from the fall, so he gave up trying to be brave.

As soon as he entered the living room, the brass candlestick on the table in the middle hall caught Zhang Shuguang's interest.

My grandmother used to worship statues of gods on the table, but later she replaced them with statues of great men, and the brass candlesticks were abandoned.

Compared to candles, kerosene lamps are obviously more cost-effective. Although kerosene lamps produce black smoke, they are cheap!

There are few rural people who don't live frugally. This is a normal thing.

Zhang Shuguang walked to the table and touched the brass candlestick with his hand.

[System binding in progress. Congratulations to the host for binding to the Wanjie Trading System.]

【Newbie gift packs are being distributed, please check them carefully. 】

[The system has detected a Qing Dynasty brass candlestick, priced at one thousand gold coins. Is it for sale?]

Three consecutive system announcements rang in Zhang Shuguang's mind.

He's coming, he's coming, the system is coming towards me! Zhang Shuguang was in great surprise.

The system is indeed standard equipment for every time traveler. It may be late, but it will never be absent.

Zhang Shuguang was nervous all the way, fearing that he would be an exception and become a time traveler without a golden finger. Now he finally feels at ease.

"sell."

The brass candlestick in Zhang Shuguang's hand suddenly disappeared, and the system prompted that one thousand gold coins had been credited to his account.

Following the same method, Zhang Shuguang extended his "evil" hands to another brass candlestick.

"Gods and Buddhas, when I become rich in the future, I will use scented oil to light a perpetual lamp for you.

Afraid that the gods and Buddhas worshipped by his grandmother would blame him, Zhang Shuguang made a silent wish in his heart.

Sudden death, soul, time travel, reincarnation, Zhang Shuguang experienced so much today, so much that he could not explain all these bizarre things with his third-rate undergraduate degree from his previous life.

A pair of brass candlesticks were sold for two thousand gold coins. Zhang Shuguang returned to his bedroom contentedly and lay on the hard bed to study his system.

"System, I have to say, your interface is a bit too crude, isn't it?"

My system is very simple and clear at a glance. It is more like a simple online store than a system.

【System: Myriad Worlds Trading System.】

Today's Items: Premium Pork Belly, 40 gold coins per kilogram. Wuchang Rice, 30 gold coins per kilogram. Fuqiang Flour, 5 gold coins per kilogram. Sweet Potatoes, 5 gold coins per kilogram.

There aren't many products, but each one is practical in this era.

[Gold Coins: 2000]

【A newbie gift pack. 】

"Open the newbie gift package." Zhang Shuguang said silently in his heart.

[Congratulations to the host for receiving a Strength Pill and a Body Strengthening Pill.]

Two pills appeared in the system space.

"Grandma, I'm going out for a while."

The family has been out of food for several days. Zhang Shuguang has to go out for a while, so it is not convenient to take out rice, flour and pork belly for the time being, but sweet potatoes are fine.

There are also pills sent by the system. Zhang Shuguang doesn't know whether it will be like what is written in fantasy novels, where after eating it, his meridians and marrow will be washed away, and his body will be covered in dirt that stinks worse than shit.

To be on the safe side, let's go out and find a pond before taking the pills.

"Grandson, where are you going?"

Liu Guixiang put down her granddaughter in her arms and chased after him. She almost lost her eldest grandson today.

The old lady was very sure that her eldest grandson was really dead at that time, with no breathing or heartbeat.

"Grandma, I'm going out for a bit and will be back soon. Don't worry, I won't climb trees."

Zhang Shuguang walked out of the yard quickly without looking back and headed towards the mountain.

Don’t ask me why I didn’t run. I was simply too hungry to run!

After crossing two ridges, Zhang Shuguang stopped in front of a small pond.

He took out the pill from the system space, thought about it, and put it back.

I only have this one set of clothes. If I get covered in dirt, I'll have nothing to wear.

Since there was no one around, Zhang Shuguang stripped himself naked.

After making preparations, Zhang Shuguang put both pills in his mouth.

The pill melted in the mouth, turned into a warm current and slid into the stomach, and then, nothing happened.

That's it? I took off my pants and you didn't react at all, right?

It would be a bit unfair to say that there is no change at all, but at least my back doesn't hurt anymore.

My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
