Ordinary life in fast time travel

After Zhang Lin finished his meal, he shouted in his heart without hope: "77, are you there?"

"Mr. Zhang, long time no see." 77's voice actually sounded.

Zhang Lin stood up excitedly, "So you're here. I've called you often these past few days, but I haven't responded."

77 said: "I also just came here, and I asked for leave for some personal matters. Your task is already on top of your fourth brother, I thought you knew it."

Zhang Lin said, "Why did you let the ghost out to scare me?"

When Zhang Lin said this, the fourth brother raised his head from the novel and looked at him with hurt eyes. "Xiao Liu, I didn't mean to scare you."

77 explained to him: "He had to know who locked his door before he would leave. If you find that person, he will disappear."

The appearance of 77 reassured Zhang Lin a lot.

Zhang Lin asked the fourth brother: "Fourth brother, did you really commit suicide?"

The fourth brother shook his head, "I don't know, I don't remember anything after locking the door."

Zhang Lin asked again: "Then do you remember how you were locked in the old house? What did you do in the old house?"

The fourth brother said: "That morning, the second sister said that my mother told me to go to the old house to get two eggs, and then I would cook them and eat them before I went to the exam. I entered the lobby of the old house, and the old hen's nest had only chicken feces and no eggs. I thought It ran to another place and gave birth, so I went to the room inside to have a look, and when I came out, the door of the old house was locked from the outside. I was hoarse and no one came to open the door.”

Zhang Lin immediately said: "Isn't that obvious? Only the second sister knows that you are going to the old house, and she locked the door."

The fourth brother frowned: "No way? Why did the second sister lock me in?"

Zhang Lin said to 77, "Did the second sister lock the door?"

"Mr. Zhang, you only have one chance to confirm the answer." 77 didn't answer his question, but just reminded him.

The fourth brother's grades are so good, as long as he takes the college entrance examination, he will definitely be able to enter the university.The person who locked the fourth brother in the old house probably didn't want the fourth brother with good grades to be admitted to college, who wouldn't want the fourth brother to go to college.Zhang Lin couldn't figure it out, so let's talk about it later, and I'll observe it again.

Zhang Lin came out of the room and took the clean bowl to the sink in the kitchen.The fight between the elder brother and Jian Zhihua was over. With a big bag on his head, Jian Zhihua drove a motorcycle and went to the small shop at the entrance of the village to buy wine.The eldest brother was washing his wounds in the yard. The corners of his eyes were black and the corners of his mouth were swollen.It was swung by Jian Zhihua's big fist.

Zhang Lin searched Xiao Liu's memory, and found that their eldest brother was not born to Jian Zhihua and Chen Suxian.They picked it up.Because Chen Suxian was unable to conceive a child at first, the feudal superstition said that it is easier to conceive a child if she can adopt a child.

The eldest brother was picked up by his parents. The biological parents of the eldest brother were a man from other places and a widow in the village.The out-of-town man was invited by Du Wenyuan, who planted trees in the mountains in the village. At that time, he hired several tall and strong workers. This man was one of them. He had a wife in his hometown.If he didn't want it, Jian Zhihua took him home, and used the family's savings of 2000 yuan to give the man from out of town as a thank you.

The man took the widow away and left the child in the village.

Jian Zhihua gave him the single name Chuan, called Jian Chuan

After the eldest brother came, the original owner's mother was pregnant, as if some strange valve had been opened, and she gave birth to 6 children in a row. 2 girls and 4 boys.

My eldest brother did not go to school after finishing primary school. He helped out with farm work at home for several years, and then went out to work to earn money to support the family.After the eldest brother was able to earn more money, his temper became bad.Moreover, when talking about two girls, both were opposed by the other's parents, and they were unwilling to marry their daughters to him.Although he grew up tall, mighty and handsome, girls from all over the world would blush and beat their hearts every time they glanced at him.But few really want to marry him. The money he earns is needed to support the whole family. The family is in such a difficult situation. Anyone who wants to marry a daughter to him has to weigh it.

When the eldest brother was at home, Jian Zhihua and Jian Zhihua always disliked each other. Jian Zhihua liked to drink, gamble and beat children. The elder brother hated these three things.So the eldest brother would fight with Jian Zhihua from time to time.

Jian Chuan was wearing a white vest, sitting on a bamboo chair, bent over and took a towel and wrung it dry in the basin. From the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of Xiao Liu in the room, and beckoned to him, "Xiao Liu, come here."

Zhang Lin walked up to him.

Jian Chuan said: "Brother fought the old man for you, why are you heartless and hid in the room."

Zhang Lin said, "Thank you, brother."

Jian Chuan wiped the wound on his body with a towel, and then went to wipe the sweat off his body.He threw the towel back into the sink, raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, Xiao Liu will thank you again, he used to be like a little dumb."

The original owner didn't like to talk since he was a child, except for his good friend Chen Qiusheng, he didn't respond to anyone who talked to him.

Jian Chuan "snapped" a cigarette, and he kicked the red porcelain basin on the ground, "Pour out the water for elder brother, and take the towel back to the house."

Zhang Lin stared blankly at his action of lighting a cigarette, and a figure of a man appeared in front of his eyes, his movements and demeanor were somewhat similar.Zhang Lin obediently took the basin and towel back to the house, walked back to the yard, and sat on the threshold to watch Jian Chuan.

Jian Chuan smoked in silence for a while, then squinted his eyes: "Xiao Liu, let's see what your elder brother is doing."

Zhang Lin shook his head and did not speak.

He asked in his heart: "77, what happened to Chen Hao?"

He didn't expect 77 to answer. He didn't expect 77 to tell the man's later things according to the script, including the incident that he brought down the hospital, including the fact that he started his own business, remained single, and died in a car accident.

Zhang Lin was not in a good mood, so he went back to sleep.

Lying on the bed, he said: "77, can you take the fourth brother back? He is here to affect my sleep."

The fourth brother curled his lips aggrievedly, and the shadow slowly faded away in the void.

Now is the busy season of farming, and the whole village is rushing to transplant rice seedlings.

At dawn, Xiaoliu was woken up by Chen Suxian. People in the countryside got up very early, and it was still cool for breakfast before the sun came out. It was not so hot when they were working.

The eldest brother has already gone out, and the third brother also took leave from the construction site, so he didn't go to work today.His engineering team was composed of people in the village, and it was specially contracted to build houses for anyone in the ten miles and eight towns.Generally, you can ask for leave during the busy farming season.

Only the second sister works in the factory in the town, so she can't ask for leave casually.

There was fried rice with eggs in the pot. When Zhang Lin went to fish it, there was only rice left, and the eggs were picked away.

Zhang Lin put the leftover rice in a big bowl and sat on the threshold to eat. The big black dog looked at him eagerly and wagged its tail at him, but Zhang Lin ignored it because it had enough to eat last night.

The second sister is in the yard, pushing her bicycle out of the corner of the house.

Seventh Sister was sitting under the eaves, spooning scrambled eggs into her mouth. She called to Second Sister, "Sister, come back tonight and bring me a butterfly rubber band, the kind Xiaoyan wears."

The second sister fastened the detached chain of the bicycle on the gear, and her hands were stained with black oil. She pulled the grass next to her to wipe her hands.

The second sister said: "If I remember, I will buy it for you."

Chen Suxian shouted from the room: "Remember to buy two catties of duck eggs at night."

There are few chickens at home, and there are few raw eggs, which is not enough to eat.Meat is very expensive, and their eggs are considered a meat dish.Duck eggs are cheaper than chicken eggs, so Chen Suxian often asks her second sister to buy duck eggs from the town.

Zhang Lin looked through Xiaoliu's memories of the second sister, and only remembered that the second sister had a good time with a man from the next village, and she was pregnant with a child at the time.But the man's parents disagreed with their marriage life and death, saying that they thought the woman's family was poor and had a gambling father.I can't even afford the dowry.The second sister beat the child in her stomach in a fit of anger.

After Jian Zhihua found out, he brought his third brother and fifth brother to the door, and beat the man half to death.Fifth Brother was not very old, but he was a well-known gangster in the village. Later, he drove a motorcycle and killed that man, and Fifth Brother went to prison for reform through labor.

Since then, the second sister seems to have given up her mind, and she stopped working outside, and went home to work in the town.

Based on all Xiaoliu's memories of his second sister, he still can't figure out why the second sister locked his fourth brother in the old house.

Before Zhang Lin finished his meal, Chen Suxian urged him to feed the pigs, so he had no time to think about things.After feeding the chickens, ducks and pigs, Zhang Lin wore a straw hat and went to work in the fields.

Chen Suxian asked him to go to the seedling field to get the seedlings. Zhang Lin walked to the seedling field based on his memory, and saw Qiusheng also in the field from a distance.

Qiu Sheng called him: "Xiao Liu, shall we go touch the snails in the river after throwing seedlings?"

Unlike Xiao Liu who stays at home all the time, he has always been studying in a boarding school in the county. He comes back from summer vacation as if he has never been to the countryside, and he is very interested in everything.

Zhang Lin knew that his main purpose was not to feel the snails, but to play with the water.In this kind of summer, it is so beautiful to take a dip in the cold river after finishing the farm work.

Zhang Lin whispered, "Okay, call me later."

Qiu Sheng said yes.

The seedlings grew luxuriantly on the plastic board. Zhang Lin picked them up one by one and put them in two dustpans. His strength was weak, so he put five yuan on each side, and he was sweating profusely when he picked them all.At the edge of the field, Zhang Lin saw that his elder brother had already raked an acre of land, and the cow bleated, protesting that he was not given a rest after working all morning.

The eldest brother saw him and shouted: "Xiao Liu, come here and lead the cows to graze on the dam."

Zhang Lin didn't really want to go, he just brought the seedlings and wanted to try the feeling of throwing them.

Zhang Lin took down the seedlings and pulled out the seedlings one by one into a pot. Without raising his head, he said, "Brother, I'm going to throw the seedlings, I don't have time."

The eldest brother was sitting on the ridge of the field smoking and resting. He glanced at Zhang Lin, and then said to the seventh sister who was squatting on the dog's tail grass by the edge of the field, "Seventh sister, go and lead the cow to the dam."

Seventh Sister curled her lips and muttered reluctantly.

The elder brother's expression became serious, and the seventh younger sister obediently stood up and went to lead the cow.

At this time, the third brother came late. He went to the shop to drink again last night. He was so drunk that he got up late.He brought the manure over, and Chen Suxian scooped the manure up from an iron plate and put it in a plastic basin.Chen Suxian spread fertilizer evenly from one corner of the field.

After the elder brother finished smoking, he walked up to Zhang Lin and said, "You just pick a few seedlings here."

Zhang Lin said: "It's too heavy, I can't lift it."

The eldest brother threw the cigarette butt into the mud, "It's useless."

Zhang Lin didn't want to pay attention to him. He stood on the ridge of the field with the pot in his arms, and threw small seedlings into the field one by one.But nine out of ten fell down and couldn't stand up.Zhang Lin had no choice but to go down and straighten them up.

The eldest brother said: "Why do you support it, it will grow straight when it grows." He said, grabbed a lot of seedlings from Zhang Lin's basket and threw them into the air, and the seedlings fell into the air like hidden weapons. In the field, stand upright.

Zhang Lin frowned: "Brother, you didn't sprinkle evenly."

The eldest brother said indifferently, "It will be fine to fill up the empty and large places later."

Zhang Lin disagreed.Or throw them one by one in your own way, and slowly throw them straight. You don't have to force yourself to go to the field to straighten them.

The third brother has great strength, and quickly picked dozens of seedlings from the seedling field.Behind him is a girl with a ponytail. She is Qiusheng's half-sister, Chen Lu. She is in the same class as the third and fourth brothers. She has just finished the college entrance examination. I heard from Qiusheng that his sister estimated the grades, so she can take a book without any accidents. .

Zhang Lin looked at Chen Lu from under the straw hat. Chen Lu was talking behind the third brother with a smile. She was too far away to hear her words. In such a bright sun, she didn't even wear a straw hat. The skirt looks very youthful and lively.

The third brother just hummed and buried himself in his work. When the fourth brother was there, he only talked and laughed with the fourth brother, and the fourth brother was gone.He didn't even bother to say anything.

Looking at the third brother, Zhang Lin remembered one thing.The third brother and the fourth brother are so good, they go to and from school together every day, there is no reason why the fourth brother did not go to the college entrance examination that morning, but the third brother went to school by himself.One of the test centers for their college entrance examination that day was the high school in their town, and it took half an hour to ride a bicycle.It was always the third brother who drove the fourth brother out.

Just as he was thinking about something, Zhang Lin suddenly felt a tingling and itchy calf. He looked down and saw a black lump firmly stuck to his calf.

With an 'ah' sound, he took a step back and almost sat down in the paddy field.

The eldest brother brought a basket of seedlings from the third brother. Seeing Zhang Lin's panicked expression, he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

Goosebumps all over Zhang Lin's body stood up, and his head became dizzy one after another, "There are leeches."

He is very afraid of soft things, such as bugs, frogs, and snakes, not to mention leeches, which are said to suck human blood.

The eldest brother came over and grabbed his calf, "Stand still." He stretched out his hand and squeezed it, and the leech was torn off by him.Then throw it into the fertilizer, the leech seems to have entered the oil pan, twisting its body crazily, and it will harden after a while.

Zhang Lin hurried up to the ridge of the field. There was a red gash on his calf, and a little bright red blood was bleeding out.

The eldest brother said: "It's okay, I just sucked a little blood."

Zhang Lin didn't want to imagine the blood-sucking scene, he was sweating profusely and his face was pale.

The eldest brother glanced at him: "Look at you, you are worthless. If you don't want to go to the field, go back to the house and get a bottle of water for the eldest brother."

Zhang Lin hurried up, and when he got to the dry dirt road, his nausea got better.
