Ordinary life in fast time travel

The house was quiet, only the sound of Jian Zhihua's snoring while sleeping.

To say that the original owner's family is poor, besides having too many children, another main reason is that Jian Zhihua is a gambler, he also works on the construction site, fishing for three days and drying the net for two days, even if he earns some money, he will take it all away bet.I often gamble all night outside and come back to sleep during the day.Sleep all day, and continue to go out to gamble at night.

Chen Suxian had a fight with him, and Jian Zhihua beat her to pieces. Gradually, Chen Suxian became numb, and she only brought a group of children to work in the fields all the year round. In the past two years, her life has been easier, because the second sister and the fifth brother She doesn't go to school anymore, so she doesn't have to pay high tuition fees if she doesn't go to school, and only a little of the money remitted back by her elder brother's work in other places can be left in her hands.

Zhang Lin lightly poured a large cup of cold boiled water from the iron pot, and carried it out.

He was afraid that Jian Zhihua would be beaten if he moved too much.

The mu of land in the field has been filled with seedlings, and Chen Suxian is filling in the gaps one by one.The elder brother sat and rested under a wild pomegranate tree on the ridge of the field.Zhang Lin brought him cold boiled water.

When I got closer, I smelled a sweet fragrance. The ditch behind the field ridge was full of pomegranates, most of which were rotten, and the fragrance came from them.

Zhang Lin looked up and saw that there were still many fruits left on the guava tree, some of which were overripe, and wasps were buzzing around.He swallowed.In fact, he has never eaten this stuff himself, but Xiao Liu has it in his memory, it is quite delicious.

Zhang Lin tiptoed to hook the low branch.

He had torn off the branch, but the guava fruit was still higher up.

The eldest brother sat on the ridge of the field drinking water and smiled, "Xiao Liu, this is the pomegranate tree of your three-eyed mother-in-law's family. You forgot that when you were a child, the three-eyed mother-in-law chased and beat you with a cane."

Xiaoliu's memory of this matter is quite deep, that is, when he was very young, the eldest brother, third brother, fifth brother and Xiaoliu went to steal the plums grown by the three-eyed mother-in-law at night, and the three-eyed mother-in-law who was specially guarding the side found out After chasing them, the eldest brother, the third brother, and the fifth brother all ran fast and disappeared into the night very quickly.Only Xiao Liu was still young, his legs were too short and he was caught.

The next day, the three-eyed mother-in-law ran to his house and said that Xiao Liu was going to hand over to his teacher, which scared Xiao Liu to the point of peeing his pants.

Zhang Lin did not give up: "This tree is wild."

The eldest brother said: "The tree is wild, but the land above belongs to your three-eyed mother-in-law's family, and of course the tree growing on the ground also belongs to her family."

Zhang Lin felt that what the elder brother said made sense, so he let go of the branch.

Near noon, the sun was burning hot.People standing in the field feel like they can melt.

Qiu Sheng had just finished throwing rice seedlings in his family's field. He ran over barefoot and whispered in Zhang Lin's ear, "Don't forget to touch the snails in the river."

Zhang Lin nodded, "I know, you go first, I'll be back in a while."

Chen Suxian didn't like Xiaoliu playing with Chen Qiusheng, but she was very polite to Qiusheng because Qiusheng's stepfather was the village chief.

Chen Suxian said kindly, "Qiusheng, are you back from summer vacation? You're going to go to high school next year, right?"

Qiusheng scratched his head: "Yes, I am in the first year of high school, auntie."

Chen Suxian said: "You are still promising, my sixth grader only has to do farm work at home."

Qiu Sheng smiled awkwardly, and he greeted his elder brother: "Brother Chuan, I haven't seen you for many years."

The eldest brother sighed: "Qiu Sheng has grown so big."

As he said that, he went to see Xiao Liu. Qiu Sheng was one size bigger than Xiao Liu in terms of body size and stature.Obviously they were all about the same size when they were young.

After returning home from the field, Seventh Sister was cooking on the stove, but Zhang Lin didn't go into the kitchen, fearing that she would see her yelling at him to light the fire.He went to the room and took the hidden piece of white rice cake, broke off a small piece and put it in his mouth to satisfy his greed, then wrapped it up and put it in his arms.He went out with his hands and feet.

Passing through a bamboo forest in the back room, downhill, is a crystal clear river.There are bamboo forests on both sides of the small river, so the sun does not come in, so it is very cool.

At first he thought that only Qiu Sheng was waiting for him, but he didn't expect there were others.Qiu Sheng was wearing shorts, and he was flopping in the water like a dog crawling through water. He waved to Zhang Lin: "Xiao Liu, come down quickly."

The third brother is also diving in the deeper pool on one side.He is a good swimmer, and he can hold his breath in the water for two to three minutes without any problem.

Chen Lu was washing clothes on the shallows.It was the plaid skirt in the morning. Because she went to the field to help pull weeds, her skirt was covered with grass juice, and even washing powder couldn't wash it off.The plaid skirt was newly bought, and her heart ached to death.

Zhang Lin approached and said hello, "Sister Chen Lu."

Chen Lu poured half a box of laundry onto the plaid skirt and rubbed it vigorously. "Xiao Liu, you also come to swim in the river."

Zhang Lin said, "I don't swim, I touch the snails."

Zhang Lin put the plastic bag containing rice cakes into a dry bamboo shell on the shore.He took off his shoes and went into the water to wash his face with cold water, then walked a few steps into the deep water and squatted down.The cool river water flooded his chest, and he shivered from the cold.

Qiu Sheng splashed water on him: "Xiao Liu, what are you doing with your clothes on, it's more comfortable to take off your clothes."

Zhang Lin said, "I don't want to take it off."

It’s not that I don’t want to take it off, it’s that I can’t take it off.After Zhang Lin finished speaking, he took a deep breath, sank into the water, and opened his eyes in the water. The bottom of the water was very clear, and a few small stone horned fishes flashed swiftly between the cracks in the rocks.Zhang Lin observed carefully for a while, and touched a few large brook snails in the crevices of the big rocks with his hands. He couldn't hold his breath until he came out of the water and let out a breath.

Throw the black big brook snail in your hand to the bank.

Qiu Sheng swam over: "You are really here to touch the snail."

Zhang Lin said, "I haven't eaten brook snails for a long time."

In fact, he had never eaten brook snails at all. He only knew from Xiaoliu's memory that brook snails were much tastier than field snails. The field snails had a muddy smell, and no one in the village would eat them, so they gave them to ducks.Zhang Lin felt that fried snails with peppers were already delicious, but brook snails must be even more delicious.

Zhang Lin said to the third brother who was lying still on the water: "Third brother, please help me touch a little, I can't dive."

The third brother ignored him.

Chen Lu had given up washing her plaid skirt and was sitting barefoot on the stone.She propped her chin and said, "Xiao Liu, I remember that you used to hold your breath very badly. When you were young, you were compared with Qiu Sheng. Qiu Sheng always lost to you."

Zhang Lin said, "I can't do it now. As soon as I got into the water, I thought that my fourth brother would die in the water. I was scared."

Chen Lu sighed: "Your fourth brother can't swim."

Zhang Lin glanced at her and knew what she was implying that the fourth brother couldn't swim, so he drowned himself in the crossing pond where the water was not deep at all.The pool is not deep, and children aged 6 or 7 in the village often go there to play and have nothing to do.

The fourth brother is an outlier in their family. When the eldest brother went to other places to work for his livelihood, and the third and fifth brothers dominated the ten miles and eight towns, the fourth brother walked his own learning path upright and never wavered.In the past when they were busy in the fields, the fourth brother would read at home.When they played in the water, he read on the bank, so he couldn't swim at all.Chen Suxian sometimes scolds him when she is in a bad mood, saying that he is like a young master who knows how to eat and read but not work.

The fourth brother was ashamed and angry. At this time, the third brother would jump out and stand in front of the fourth brother: You are not allowed to scold him, I will help him with his share.

Chen Suxian yelled at you, you help him do it, you have the nerve to go to high school if you get a few scores in the exam, your elder brother works so hard outside, all for you to study, scolding a few words is not enough!

The third brother clenched his fists: "I promise not to study after finishing high school."

His thoughts drifted away, Zhang Lin came back to his senses, and touched the snail seriously.

The third brother has already got up from the water, his face is so heavy that he can drip water.Except for Xiaoliu, all of them are tall, long-legged, and handsome.The third brother wiped the water off his body with the dry vest on the bank, Chen Lu blushed unnaturally, and glanced away.

Chen Lu said: "I plan to organize a teacher appreciation meeting in the town, are you going?"

Originally, the teacher appreciation meeting should be organized after the college entrance examination. Who told their class that such a big incident happened. First, the fourth brother who was always the first in the grade did not go to the college entrance examination on the first day, and then committed suicide after the college entrance examination.

After such a thing happened to the monitor, no one was in the mood to organize a class reunion.

A few days later, Chen Lu, who is the deputy squad leader, made a phone call with a few classmates before deciding to organize it.

The third brother was still indifferent as usual, "I won't go."

Chen Lu showed disappointment on her face, and said unwillingly: "This is the last reunion of our class, which is very rare. I think if the monitor is here, I hope you will go too."

Zhang Lin pretended to be touching the brook snails in the water, and listened to their conversation.

After a while, I heard the third brother sneer, "He's going to die by himself, and he doesn't care whether I go to the class reunion or not."

The third brother went back, and Chen Lu no longer wanted to play in the water.She was in a bad mood, and called Qiu Sheng in the water: "I know how to play every day, have you done the summer homework I arranged for you, you should do it quickly, lest mom say again that I didn't supervise you well."

Qiu Sheng sneered: "Sister, you got angry with others, why are you angry with me. Mom is too busy showing off your good grades to the whole village, and doesn't care about my summer homework."

With a livid face, Chen Lu threw stones at him.Qiu Sheng laughed and dived into the water.

Zhang Lin stood up and stood in front of Qiusheng: "Sister Chen Lu, your skirt is about to be washed away by the water."

Chen Lu looked down and saw that the dirty plaid skirt she threw into the water was washed downstream by the stream.She stomped her feet angrily, ignored her skirt, and left in a huff.

When everyone was gone, Zhang Lin went ashore and took out the rice cake from the dried bamboo shell.The outside of the plastic bag was full of ants smelling the fragrance. Zhang Lin slapped the ants away and called Qiu Sheng to eat.

Qiu Sheng was only wearing a pair of underpants, and walked onto the shore with his upper body naked; "What is it?"

Zhang Lin broke the rice cake in half and gave it to him.

Qiusheng went to school in the county and ate a lot of good food, so he was no longer surprised by this kind of delicious food when he was a child.But I don't want to disappoint my good friend.He took a bite, "I haven't eaten this for a long time."

The bowl of rice that Zhang Lin ate for breakfast has long been digested, and now his hungry hands are shaking a little.He suspected that it was the sequelae left by the previous time travel, so he swallowed a mouthful of rice cake and pressed it in his stomach to heal.

The two sat on the rocks on the shore and ate rice cakes quietly.

Zhang Lin asked in his heart: "77, can my previous question card still be used?"

77 said: "Yes."

Zhang Lin asked, "Is Chen Lu related to Fourth Brother's death?"

77 said helplessly: "Mr. Zhang, if we knew the truth, we wouldn't have asked you to come and investigate. Just tell your fourth brother the answer and let him leave with peace of mind."

Zhang Lin: "..."

"Then what's the use of the question card?" Zhang Lin asked

77 said: "What is happening now, you can ask me if you want to know."

"Oh, what is third brother doing now?" Zhang Lin asked.

77 didn't answer him, a picture suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Lin's eyes, it was their toilet.

Zhang Lin quickly closed his eyes, "Okay, I understand. You quickly take the picture away."

Zhang Lin heaved a sigh of relief when the picture in front of him disappeared.

Suddenly a tall figure was projected from behind.

"What are you eating here?"

Zhang Lin looked back and saw that it was the eldest brother, followed by their cattle, which flicked their tails and bleated.Automatically consciously go to the river to drink water.

Zhang Lin stuffed the last bite of rice cake into his mouth, and sucked the rice cake crumbs on his fingertips.

The eldest brother frowned: "Xiao Liu, when will you correct this problem? My eldest brother said that your fingers are not clean, so don't keep smacking your fingers."

Zhang Lin looked at him innocently, knowing that he must have misunderstood.Xiaoliu is in the third grade of elementary school, and she still eats her fingers with a runny nose.There was a parent-teacher meeting where my eldest brother went to school instead of Jian Zhiwen. The teacher told him to take care of your primary school, as there are a lot of bacteria on your fingers, and you will get sick if you eat your fingers too often.The eldest brother remembered this, and every time Xiao Liu sat on the threshold and licked his fingers, he would slap his palm.

Zhang Lin washed his hands in the river.The eldest brother threw some things over to him, and they fell into the water with a plop.

Zhang Lin scooped them all up. Five ripe guavas exuded a fruity fragrance.

Zhang Linxi said, "Brother, where did this come from?" He handed two to Qiu Sheng, kept two for himself, and returned the older one to his elder brother.

The eldest brother frowned in disgust: "Eat it yourself, I don't eat this stuff."

Not eating it, Zhang Lin opened his mouth and took a bite of the big one. It was a red heart, so sweet.
