Every Day I Dream of Getting Rich [Farming]

Synopsis: Shen Song, a first-year university student in the interstellar era and an earth-element ability user, wakes up one day to find himself transported to ancient times, where he has become a ge’er—a male who can bear children. The Shen family of Shenjiagou is a large one. Shen Dashu has five sons, two daughters, and one ge’er, not to mention seven grandchildren. The only problem is that his family is dirt poor. Other families can afford a meal with meat every ten days or half a month. His family can’t manage two such meals in an entire year. Other people’s children’s clothes may be worn and patched, but at least they’re still clothes. His family’s children’s clothes are practically patches desperately trying to pass themselves off as clothing. Nobody in Shenjiagou wants to get close to the Shen Dashu family. They think the family has somehow attracted the God of Poverty and that bad luck is bound to rub off on anyone who associates with them. Shen Song grew up comfortably and had never suffered from material deprivation. On the very day he arrives, however, dinner consists of boiled wild greens, and six people have to sleep on a single wooden plank. He cries from sheer poverty. They’re that poor! Determined to eat his fill and sleep in comfort, Shen Song decides to follow in his grandfather’s footsteps from his previous life and make a living in the food business from scratch. Unfortunately, the food industry in the Zhou Dynasty is several times more developed than that of his interstellar era. There is simply no room for him to establish himself. Just when he’s completely disheartened, Shen Song discovers that his supernatural ability still works. He can make the land here more fertile and enrich it with spiritual energy. An idea strikes him. If he can’t make money in the food business, then he’ll become a supplier of food ingredients! After the Shen family works tirelessly together, the vegetables produced by the Shen family farm become the hottest commodities in the food industry. The only problem is that they don’t produce enough. There’s never enough to go around! Why does the Shen family have so few people? Can’t they get more people to farm?! … Ever since childhood, Xie Zhiyu has felt like throwing up no matter what he eats. He’s never managed to finish a proper meal. Then, after buying some fresh vegetables from a little ge’er, he has them prepared by his cook—and unexpectedly, he eats every last bite. It is the first time in his life that he has ever eaten until he is full. After that, the little ge’er comes to deliver vegetables every day. Xie Zhiyu recites poetry, and the little ge’er listens, utterly fascinated, praising him for his talent. Xie Zhiyu practices calligraphy, and the little ge’er watches in rapture, praising his beautiful handwriting. Xie Zhiyu practices martial arts, and the little ge’er’s eyes light up as he praises his formidable skill. Whatever Xie Zhiyu does, the little ge’er thinks it is absolutely wonderful. One day, the little ge’er praises Xie Zhiyu for being very handsome. Unable to restrain himself, Xie Zhiyu kisses him. The little ge’er promptly slaps him across the face and calls him a pervert. Xie Zhiyu presses his tongue against the inside of his cheek. Why doesn’t he praise me anymore? As an extraterrestrial, Shen Song is curious about absolutely everything in this ancient world. He discovers that his new acquaintance, Xie Zhiyu, can do practically everything. He can recite poetry, write calligraphy, fight with his fists and feet, wield a sword, ride horses, and shoot arrows… Shen Song has only ever seen these things described in ancient texts on the interstellar web. Now, after crossing through time, he gets to see them all with his own eyes. Shen Song is fascinated. He decides to cultivate a good relationship with Xie Zhiyu so that he can see even more. Everything is going smoothly. Who could have guessed that Xie Zhiyu would suddenly kiss him? Shen Song knows perfectly well that a little ge’er like him is expected to bear children in this world. If a man kisses a ge’er, then naturally they have to marry and have children. Shen Song doesn’t want children. So he starts avoiding Xie Zhiyu. He manages to evade him for less than two days before someone corners him. Xie Zhiyu asks fiercely, “Do you hate me too?” Hearing the slight tremor in Xie Zhiyu’s voice, Shen Song answers honestly, “They all say that once you’ve kissed, you have to get married and have children. I don’t want to have children.” Xie Zhiyu freezes. Then his heart blossoms with joy. He’s already thinking about marriage and children.
