"Yue'er? Yue'er?"
Jiang Yue's thoughts were still stuck in the previous world. She had just arrived in the new world when she heard someone calling her. At this time, she had not yet received the memories and plot, and was not clear about the current situation. She could only vaguely say "hmm" and take the opportunity to quickly receive the memories.
While reading the memories, Jiang Yue checked her physical condition. She still had a fever. After understanding her condition, she took a pill, and by the time the fever subsided, the memories had been successfully received.
This time, she has traveled to an ancient world. She was born into a farming family. Her parents are still alive, and she has a younger brother. Her grandparents are still alive, her father has two older brothers, her eldest uncle has three sons, and her second uncle has two sons. Jiang Yue is the only daughter in the whole family, and everyone likes her very much.
Jiang Yue got sick because she played too much in the snow a few days ago and developed a fever that night. Her family called a doctor and she took medicine, but she couldn't make it through. That's how she ended up transmigrating.
...
"Has the fever gone down? It's not good to borrow an oxcart to go to the county today."
"Not yet... Hey? Mom?! Feel it, has it deteriorated?"
"Come on, step aside, let me see."
Jiang Yue felt her mother's hand being pushed away by her grandmother's hand, and then she heard her grandmother's voice: "It's gone! The fever's gone!"
"Why isn't he awake yet?"
"She's asleep, isn't she? I'll call her. Yue'er? Yue'er, wake up!"
Jiang Yue felt her grandmother calling her, so she opened her eyes. What came into view was a group of people: her grandparents, aunt, uncle, and mother, as well as her brothers standing around.
"Milk~"
"Oh dear, you scared me to death, come here, let me give you a hug!"
After Jiang Yue was picked up by her grandmother, her aunts came over and touched her forehead to make sure her fever had gone down. Jiang Yue sweetly called out to them. It wasn't that she was being coy, but because she was only four years old and was weak from being sick, her voice was a bit childish.
Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, Grandma Jiang Yue hurriedly shooed them away: "Alright, go do what you're supposed to do, what are you all standing around for? Third son's wife, go steam an egg for the child, he's only just recovered and needs to be properly nourished."
"I'll go right away."
After the adults left, only a few children remained. They all gathered around Jiang Yue. Jiang Yue looked at these older brothers, who all adored their little sister. She always got the first bite of anything delicious. Jiang Yue usually played with them. This time, she was sick, and they probably got a lot of beatings for it, since they had dragged the original owner of this body around and made a mess of things.
"Yue'er, are you still feeling unwell?"
Jiang Yue shook her head: "No, that's fine."
"Alright, that's good. Remember to listen to your mother next time. You can't go out to play on snowy days, okay? You scared your mother to death this time."
Jiang Yue nodded obediently. Her grandmother looked on with heartache. The child had suffered terribly this time. She had a fever all night and sent her eldest son to fetch a doctor in the middle of the night. If she didn't get better today, they would have to take her to the county town.
After chatting with her older brothers, Jiang's mother brought in the steamed egg custard. Jiang Yue ate a few bites, but then noticed her brothers staring intently at her. She didn't have much of an appetite and stopped eating after only half of it. So her grandmother looked at her brothers, tapped her little nose, and then divided the remaining half bowl among them.
There was no other way; there were many boys in the family, and the boys were so big that they could eat their fathers' fill. No matter how much grain we had, it wasn't enough to feed them all, and we couldn't afford to eat eggs indiscriminately. Plus, my father was still in school, which was the biggest expense.
Fortunately, Jiang's father passed the imperial examination this year, becoming a Xiucai (a successful candidate in the lowest level of the imperial examinations), thus qualifying for tax exemption and corvée labor exemption. In addition, Jiang's father's excellent academic performance made him a Linsheng (a student receiving government stipends), and he can also receive some subsidies such as rice, fish, meat, oil, and other miscellaneous allowances every year. Life will definitely get better in the future. And this is only because Jiang's father failed to advance any further.
Originally, Jiang's father should have been at home, but because the Great Jing Dynasty had just been established and everything was in need of rebuilding, the country urgently needed talent. In order to consolidate his rule and select virtuous and capable people, Emperor Jingming specially opened a special examination to recruit talents from all over the country. So Jiang's father went to participate in the provincial examination again. In fact, Jiang's father did not want to participate in this year's examination.
Because he felt that his knowledge was not enough, but his father's mentor said that the country was short of talent and the difficulty of the previous examinations might be easier, so he suggested that his father give it a try, even if it was just to accumulate some experience. After discussing it with his family, he went to participate in the provincial examination.
"Come here, let me wipe your face."
"Give it to me."
"Mother, let me do it."
"Come on, hurry up, it'll get cold and you won't feel comfortable."
Jiang Yueniang sighed helplessly, then handed the handkerchief to her grandmother. She led the boys out to eat, as she had been busy looking after Jiang Yue since early morning, and the others hadn't eaten yet.
"Mom, let Xiaoyue lie down for a while, it's time to eat."
"Okay, you can go now."
Grandma carefully wiped Jiang Yue's face, not daring to use too much force, afraid of hurting Jiang Yue. After wiping her face, she tucked Jiang Yue back into the quilt: "You lie obediently in bed, okay? Otherwise, I'll make you drink bitter medicine tonight."
Jiang Yue nodded obediently without saying a word. Grandma smiled and put a small piece of candy in her mouth. Then she tucked her in and went out to eat. With the not-so-sweet candy in her mouth, Jiang Yue sorted through the memories in her mind. When she finished, she was too sleepy and did not resist her body's instincts, so she fell asleep in a daze.
When she woke up again, she saw her mother sleeping soundly beside her, holding her younger brother. She took out Bai Ze and waited for a while. When she got the time, it was already 2 a.m. No wonder it was pitch black and she couldn't see anything. She had slept for a whole day. She hoped she hadn't scared her mother and grandmother.
Feeling the mattress under the bed, it was soft and warm, probably filled with cotton. The quilt should also be filled with cotton. It seems that this ancient world is not so backward. Thinking of this, Jiang Yue asked 8888, but the result was that there was no world plot. So this world should be the original world, and the future development is unknown.
While Jiang Yue was examining the bedding, her mother, who was a light sleeper, woke up when she heard Jiang Yue's movements. She got up and lit the oil lamp. Seeing Jiang Yue looking at her with her eyes open, she reached out and touched Jiang Yue's forehead, then touched her body. She only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Jiang Yue's temperature was normal.
"Yue'er, are you hungry?"
Jiang Yue shook her head and said, "I'm not hungry."
"Are you sure you're not hungry? We have some snacks available~"
"I'm really not hungry."
Are you still feeling unwell?
"I'm fine now, I don't feel uncomfortable anymore, but I'm not hungry."
"Okay, okay, would you like some water? I'll go get you some."
"No, Mom, I don't want to drink. Go to sleep."
"Okay, then go to sleep."
After that, her mother blew out the oil lamp and then held Jiang Yue to sleep, patting her gently like she was soothing a child. Before long, Jiang Yue fell asleep.
