Transmigrating to the 60s, I Started Supporting My Family at 16

Zhang Shuguang, a struggling author from the 21st century, spent years staying up late writing. He finally died from overwork and became a member of the transmigration army.

However, Zhang Sh...

Chapter 5 Digging a Trap

The old couple is grateful to their second daughter-in-law Su Hong from the bottom of their hearts.

She has been married into the Zhang family for many years and has been working hard, giving birth to children for the second son and taking care of his parents on his behalf.

Before the second son got into trouble, he used his allowance to help the eldest son's family build a house, and his daughter-in-law never complained.

After the second son got into trouble, the Su family came to take their daughter back home. Su Hong refused to leave no matter what and even had a fight with her parents for this.

The second son was identified as a traitor. In this fiery era, his reputation would definitely be tarnished. If Su Hong really wanted to divorce and draw a clear line between herself and her family, the commune would definitely support her, and the villagers would not have any rumors.

But Su Hong did not do so. She always believed in her man, and believed that this man of iron will would never do anything to let down the country and the people.

"Mom, you've worked hard all morning. Give me my sister and eat quickly."

Zhang Shuguang took his sister from Su Hong's arms so that she could eat well.

After traveling through time, Zhang Shuguang received all the memories of the original owner, and he admired Su Hong as his mother from the bottom of his heart.

Zhang Shuguang peeled the sweet potato, blew it cool, and fed it to his sister.

Except for Zhang Shuguang, everyone else eats the meat with the skin. As long as it is edible, nothing will be wasted.

"Brother, the sweet potatoes are so sweet!"

As soon as the little girl put the sweet potato in her mouth, her eyes lit up. She had never eaten anything so delicious.

"If you like it, eat more."

Zhang Shuguang was very patient and fed his sister in his arms mouthful by mouthful.

"Xiao Guang, you're a grown man now. It's normal to have your own secrets, but remember, you must ensure your own safety before doing anything."

Zhang Qingchun picked up the sweet potato peeling that his eldest grandson had peeled off from the table and put it in his mouth. He glanced at the empty table again and had a rough idea in his mind.

"I understand, Grandpa."

Zhang Shuguang didn't understand what his grandfather meant, but since the elders had spoken, there was nothing wrong with just nodding and agreeing.

In fact, as soon as the old man saw the sweet potatoes being served, he felt relieved.

The sweet potatoes in the basket are as big as two adult fists and are of uniform size. Our own production team cannot grow sweet potatoes of this quality.

Zhang Qingchun took one and took a bite. Looking at the purple-red flesh inside and savoring the soft, sweet taste in his mouth, he felt completely relieved.

This is not a local variety. I guess the eldest grandson exchanged it for a brass candlestick. He didn't dare to tell the truth because he was afraid that his family would worry.

After a meal of boiled sweet potatoes, the whole family was extremely satisfied, especially the little girl in Zhang Shuguang's arms. She chewed the sweet and soft sweet potatoes, her big eyes narrowed into slits, and her legs dangled involuntarily.

After lunch, the family went back to their rooms to rest. It was a rare opportunity to have a full meal, so they couldn't move around.

In the afternoon, grandpa and mother went to work again. Liu Guixiang sat at the door of the main hall, watching her grandson and granddaughter playing in the yard.

Zhang Shuguang's eyes were blank, and he was still thinking about how to take out the things in the space properly.

Glancing at the shovel leaning against the wall, Zhang Shuguang had an idea.

You can go up the mountain and dig traps yourself. Although I am not a professional hunter, digging traps does not require any skills, it depends on luck.

Anyway, after taking the powerful pills, his strength increased a lot, so digging a few traps was not a difficult task for Zhang Shuguang now.

If you are lucky, you can catch a wild boar or something, which can not only improve the family's food, but also be sold to the system to obtain gold coins.

Even if you are unlucky and fail to catch prey, you won't lose anything.

"Grandma, you stay home and rest. I'm going to take a walk in the mountains."

Zhang Shuguang is a man who does what he says and has never been one to drag his feet.

"Grandson, are you still going into the mountains? We have so many sweet potatoes at home. If we save some, we can get by for ten days or eight days."

Because of what happened in the morning, Liu Guixiang didn't want her grandson to run up the mountain again.

"Grandma, I'm not going to climb a tree or go into the water. I just want to go to the mountain to dig some traps and see if I can catch a rabbit or something to satisfy my hunger."

Zhang Shuguang pointed to the shovel in the yard and said.

"Why bother? Hunting is not that easy. I see several old hunters in the village often come back empty-handed."

Liu Guixiang was telling the truth and was not deliberately coaxing him in order to prevent him from going up the mountain.

In the past, when the weather was good, no one in the village went into the mountains to look for food. They would occasionally pick mushrooms or wild fruits just to enjoy the freshness.

At that time, the mountains were lush and green, with herds of animals, and wild boars would come down from the mountains to destroy the crops from time to time.

Now it’s no longer possible. The harvest from the fields has been called for at 10,000 kilograms per mu. After paying the public grain tax, there is nothing left. The members have worked hard for a year and can only rely on sweet potatoes and alternative grains to fill their stomachs.

Every household was short of food and had no choice but to go into the mountains to find food.

Hunting rifles, bows and arrows, traps, and snares are all used. Now, outside the back mountain, it is difficult to find a mouse, let alone wild boars and rabbits.

Liu Guixiang didn't want Zhang Shuguang to go up the mountain to dig traps because she didn't want him to waste his effort.

I just had a full meal, so I might as well lie down in bed for a while so that I can hold on a little longer.

"Grandma, let me try. If I can't catch the prey, I'll give up."

"Okay, go ahead. Come back soon. It's not safe in the mountains after dark."

The eldest grandson also wanted to improve the family's plight, and Liu Guixiang didn't want to discourage him too much.

"OK."

Zhang Shuguang took the hatchet, carried the shovel from home, went out and walked towards the back mountain.
