Cute Cubs Farming Days in Ancient Times

Here’s the English translation of the novel introduction as requested: 1. Guanguan is actually a little money-pot spirit who can make money multiply. He brings wealth to the virtuous and misfortune to the wicked. But neither Guanguan, now a five-year-old child, nor the villagers of Maoxi Village, know this. When Guanguan appeared in the village, he was clutching a small clay pot, dressed only in a thin, ragged cloth. His bare little feet were cracked and red from the cold, trembling in the icy wind. Luckily, a tall, skinny older boy saved him. But the boy was also living under someone else’s roof, and for rescuing Guanguan, he was beaten until he was covered in blood. Guanguan couldn’t speak—he could only cling to his brother and cry. 2. Wei Cheng’s father died when he was four. At seven, his mother remarried. By eight, he fell ill from overwork, coughing blood for days without recovery. Wei Cheng refused to die like this. He ventured into the mountains to forage for medicine—only to find a dirty child instead. The child was around five, with a round, delicate little face, but his skin was purple from the cold, likely near death. After much hesitation, Wei Cheng took the child back and hid him in the Wei household. Yet his uncles soon discovered them. They beat Wei Cheng savagely and sent Guanguan away. The villagers who adopted Guanguan treated him poorly. He grew thin and sallow, his face and body covered in pinched bruises. Whenever he saw Wei Cheng, he’d shrink like a frightened kitten, tears streaming down. Wei Cheng’s heart ached. He took Guanguan from the Wang family and left the Weis for good. The mountains were buried in snow, the animals hibernated, and the poor had no hope for survival. But eight-year-old Wei Cheng held Guanguan’s hand tightly, thinking, *This winter will pass soon.* 3. The Wei family expected to hear of Wei Cheng and the little brat’s starvation by spring. Instead, they saw Wei Cheng flashing silver coins to buy land! Soon, rumors spread: the brothers not only raised chickens and goats but also dabbled in priceless furs, built a grand house, and even secured a chance to study at the town’s academy… The Weis burned with envy. The Wangs, who’d mistreated Guanguan, tried to snatch him back… But all ill-wishers were barred by a beast—neither wolf nor dog. So no one noticed the unassuming clay pot in Guanguan’s arms slowly shifting from copper… to silver… then gold. *Two volumes:* - **Vol. 1**: Slow Life, Little Ones Farm (Main Focus) - **Vol. 2**: Expanding Horizons, Rising to Prominence **[Wei Yu/Guanguan (shou) vs. Wei Cheng (gong)]** *Check the CP dynamics before reading!* A heartwarming tale of two struggling kids farming their way to riches—adorable, fluffy, daily-life healing, and sweet growth. **Content Notes:** 1. The setting is fictional; farming/hunting doesn’t reflect reality. Currency/values are author-created. Skip if bothered. 2. Guanguan is a lovable money-pot baby with a *controlled* cheat skill—hard work brings rewards. 3. No romance before adulthood; only mutual support and familial bonds. 4. Three genders: women, men, *ge’er* (male bearers). Male-male marriage is rare but possible. —— **Same-CP prequel for collection:** *Disaster Survival with a Tiny Hoarder* [Ongoing] **[Wei Yu vs. Wei Cheng]** **Synopsis:** Three-year-old Guanguan was returned to the orphanage after his wealthy foster parents found their biological child. He noticed a cold-faced boy in the Sunflower Class. The boy always tossed him the watermelon ball during games. At meals, he’d offer his strawberry yogurt. When bully Zhuangzhuang punched him, the boy stood guard. The boy shadowed him everywhere, even crying, *"Danger’s coming—I’ll die protecting you."* Shy but polite, Guanguan finally mustered courage: *"Hewwo… Wanna wides my caw?"* Wei Cheng eyed the rusty wiggle car and nodded. Then—*"Ding!"* **[Welcome to the Wiggle Car Safehouse!]** **[Owner: Guanguan | Bound Partner: Wei Cheng]** Eight-year-old Wei Cheng had *returned* from the apocalypse. It began with endless rain, then scorching heat, hail, corrosive fog, blackened skies… and finally, zombies. He rushed back to the orphanage—this time, he’d *never* lose his little brother again. **[Earn "Wiggle Coins" to stockpile supplies!]** Snacks, meds, clothes, tools, even education—all in the **Cloud Mall**! Storage: 0.1% Initial Form: Toddler Wiggle Car Upgrades: Defense (0), Wings (0), Stealth (0/24h)… More coins = better safehouse! But how to earn? **[Feed Guanguan the broccoli he hid under someone’s bowl: +1 coin]** Guanguan shook his chubby hands: *Noooo!* Wei Cheng hesitated… until: **[1 coin = 1,000 RMB]** He force-fed the broccoli: *"Veggies are healthy."* *(Psst—I’ll buy you lollipops?)* Guanguan’s eyes sparkled. *CHOMP.* As supplies piled up, Guanguan grew plump. But no one expected the apocalypse… **Would come early.** **Notes:** Hoarding, survival, pets, farming/base-building. No naive idealism. Non-blood-related; no romance before 18.
