Ordinary life in fast time travel

Chapter 16 Who Locked My Door

Early in the morning, when Zhang Lin came back from feeding the pigs, he saw his eldest brother beating a pile of logs with a hammer in the yard.After he finished boiling the water on the stove and came out, he had put together the scattered logs under the elder brother's feet and turned them into two wooden windows.

With a cigarette in his mouth, he installed the window of the shower room in two or three strokes.

Chen Suxian grabbed a brooding hen and tied it to the TV pole. She yelled at her elder brother: "Why are you bothering? I didn't ask you to go to the village chief's house to help. Why haven't you gone yet?"

The elder brother replied casually, "I'll go later."

The rules in this village are like this, if any family is doing a banquet, each family must send at least one person to help.Usually women go, or couples go together.But Chen Suxian has always been at odds with Li Xiaoyun, and when the two met on the road, they treated each other as air.Not to mention going to her house, and Jian Zhihua is even more indifferent to these things besides drinking and gambling, and he is still in the house now

I slept a lot, and I won't get up until the afternoon.

So Chen Suxian had to let her elder brother go.

After the eldest brother had breakfast, he went to Qiusheng's house.Zhang Lin sat in the shade under the eaves and picked peanuts. Compared with other farm work, picking peanuts was what he liked to do more.He threw several peanut seedlings on the ground together, and smashed the mud sticking to the peanuts.Then nimbly tore off the peanuts one by one and threw them into the box.After picking a few peanuts, peel them and eat them. The fresh peanuts have a sweet taste and are crunchy and delicious.

There is wind blowing, but it is not too hot.A few chickens were pecking and clucking nearby.A rooster ran after the hen, and the big rooster with colorful long tail ran very quickly and grabbed the feathers on the top of a hen's head and was about to climb up on it. Zhang Lin ate while working, watching the rooster and the hen fight, feeling very fresh.

The wooden door of the yard creaked, Zhang Lin turned his head to see that it was the third brother who came back from the construction site.

After the third brother came in, he turned to his back and said, "Come in."

Several people about the same age as the third brother, three women and one man, walked in while talking and laughing.The third brother went to the well to wash his hands and feet. The four of them looked around the small yard and saw Zhang Lin sitting by the corner picking peanuts.

The man smiled at him gently, "Jian Qi, is this your sister?"

After the third brother washed his hands and feet, he rubbed his face with cold water, "No, it's my brother."

The man was surprised, "Your brother is so handsome." It's just that his body is a little dirty.

The third brother said 'hmm', "Do you want to go in and sit?"

One of the women in a white dress said, "Of course, it turns out that your home is so close to Lulu's."

The third brother was noncommittal.

Zhang Lin could tell that these people were probably third brother's classmates.The four of them looked decent in their clothes, so they should be from the town.

Zhang Lin stopped picking peanuts and followed them into the house.A few chickens in the house were enjoying the shade under the table, but the third brother kicked the corner of the table and clucked away.The four of them looked a little dumbfounded looking at the main room covered in chicken feces.The third brother dragged a few chairs over, "Sit down."

The four of them sat down carefully in the gap between the chicken shit.Looking at the dirty and dilapidated house very restrainedly.

Seventh Sister came out of the room with her messy hair, she just woke up.Standing at the door of the room staring at the skirts on several female classmates, I couldn't move my eyes.

Seeing their questioning eyes, the third brother introduced impatiently: "This is the youngest sister."

A girl in a floral skirt asked in surprise, "How many brothers and sisters do you have?"

The third brother dug out a few cups from the cupboard and poured water for them with a duckbill pot.He said, "Seven."

The four were silent at the same time.

After a while, Chen Suxian entered the house from outside.Knowing that she was a classmate of the third brother, she greeted politely: "Sit down, sit down, you are welcome." As she spoke, she saw that the four of them were holding boiled water in their hands, and said to the third brother: "It's a hot day, Make some honey water for your classmate."

The third brother crossed his arms and said impatiently, "Mom, they will leave in a while."

Even though they were all used to Jian Qi's indifference, they were still a little embarrassed by his words like driving away customers.They were going to Chen Lu's house, but they met Jian Qi on the way, so they wanted to come in for a sit-down.I used to know that the conditions of the squad leader's house were very average, but I didn't expect that what I saw was even worse than I imagined.

From Zhang Lin's point of view, the third brother's attitude towards his classmates is the best. After all, the third brother is indifferent to everyone except the fourth brother.Not bad for not driving people away.

Zhang Lin went back to the room and asked 77, "Is my fourth brother there?"

The fourth brother's figure slowly appeared in the void, "Xiao Liu, you are looking for me."

Zhang Lin said, "Fourth brother, your classmate is here, do you want to go out and sit around?" Zhang Lin thought that fourth brother would be alone every day, either reading novels or just staring blankly, which should be quite boring.

The fourth brother's eyes brightened, "I can't get out of this room."

Zhang Lin thought for a while, "Try grabbing my shoulder, see if you can come out."

The fourth brother grabbed his shoulder, Zhang Lin came out, and the fourth brother followed behind him and did not disappear.Zhang Lin went to the main room, moved two stools, and sat next to them. He said to the fourth brother in his heart: "You can sit too, just hold my shoulder."

The fourth brother sat down beside him.He seemed very interested in chatting with some of his classmates.

The third brother glanced at Zhang Lin, then looked away, not paying attention to his younger brother's behavior.

The fourth brother looked at several classmates seriously, and finally his eyes fell on the third brother: "Why is Xiaoqi so thin?"

The fourth brother and the third brother started calling each other by their names when they were young, and they never called elder brother and younger brother. Speaking of which, the third brother is two years older than the fourth brother, but in daily life, the third brother only listens to the fourth brother, and the mature and calm fourth brother is like It's like his brother.

Zhang Lin said, "No way." In Zhang Lin's eyes, the third brother was as tall and strong as a cow.

The fourth brother said: "I don't even shave my beard, why is my body covered in mud?"

Zhang Lin explained to the third brother: "The third brother works on the construction site, and it is normal to have mud on his body."

The fourth brother frowned and said oh.

The four of them were chatting about the results of the college entrance examination, and the third brother naturally couldn't get in the conversation, and he wasn't interested in doing so.At this time, Chen Lu came, "I said why you haven't been here for so long, so you are here."

She came in with a smile on her face, saw the empty chair beside Zhang Lin, and was about to sit down.

Zhang Lin quickly stood up, "Sister Chen Lu, sit here with me."

Zhang Lin took another chair and sat down again.Listen to their chats openly.

They talked about who was number one in the next class, and the girl in the white skirt sighed: "If nothing happens to the monitor, he won't be number one in grade."

When the fourth brother was mentioned, the atmosphere suddenly became dull.There was sadness and regret in everyone's expressions.

The male classmate said sadly: "The monitor is so stupid, why did he commit suicide. You can repeat."

The third brother's face suddenly darkened. He has been like this since the fourth brother passed away, and only the fourth brother can affect his emotions.Chen Lu stood up and said, "Don't talk about these sad things, go to my house and sit down, we will have lunch later." She said to go to see the third brother, "Brother Qi, you should go to my house too."

The third brother said: "No."

After everyone left the house, Zhang Lin saw that the fourth brother was still sitting on the chair in a daze.

The fourth brother still maintained the posture of putting one hand on Zhang Lin's shoulder. He turned to face Zhang Lin: "Xiao Liu, he is right. I also think that no matter how sad I am, I will not commit suicide."

Zhang Lin said, "The police in the town said you committed suicide by jumping into the river."

The fourth brother shook his head, "I'm not that fragile."

Zhang Lin said, "You mean someone pushed you into the water."

The fourth brother was at a loss, feeling incredible: "Who would do such a thing."

Zhang Lin opened his mouth to say something, but the third brother came in from outside after seeing off his classmates.Zhang Lin had no choice but to shut up.The third brother passed by him and suddenly looked back at him.Zhang Lin dug the mud between his fingernails calmly, without even raising his head.

Bringing the fourth brother back to the room, he heard Qiu Sheng's voice outside: "Auntie, is Xiao Liu at home?"

Chen Suxian said: "Qiusheng is here, Xiaoliu is in the room."

When Zhang Lin came out of the room, Qiu Sheng said, "Xiao Liu, come to my house for dinner."

Chen Suxian said to Zhang Lin: "Your third brother won't go, then you can go." She took out a red envelope from her pocket and gave it to Zhang Lin. Jian Zhihua's name was written on the back of the red envelope.

The eldest brother is only going to help, and each family has to send another person to have a banquet.

When I arrived at Qiusheng's house, new red couplets were pasted on the gate of his house.The yard is full of tables, and there are many people, all from the village, and children are picking up firecrackers on the ground to play.

Qiu Sheng pulled Zhang Lin to sit at a table, and at the next table were Chen Lu and her classmates, eating melon seeds and chatting.Sitting at the main table was Qiusheng's father, Chen Kang, and a few more talkative people in the village.

From time to time, people from the village came to say hello to Chen Lu, and they seemed to find that Chen Lu was so good at studying for the first time, and praised her frequently.No matter who came, Chen Lu smiled gently and thanked him.The elders and aunts in the village liked her more and more, so they pulled Li Xiaoyun and said, "Ms. Li is still blessed to have a good daughter."

The food started to be served, Zhang Lin didn't waste the gift money from his mother, and he ate his belly round.After eating, Qiu Sheng took him to his room and said there was something interesting to show him. Zhang Lin entered Qiu Sheng's room, and Qiu Sheng picked up a cardboard box from under the table.

When Zhang Lin saw it, it was a puppy with a pink body and no fur.Obviously just born.

Zhang Lin asked, "Where did this come from?"

Qiu Sheng poked its forehead with his fingers, and the puppy fell tremblingly, then struggled to stand up again, Qiu Sheng said with a smile: "My mother brought it back from my grandmother's house, and its mother died of dystocia."

Zhang Lin is not very interested in dogs, and he doesn't find it interesting.

Qiu Sheng went outside and brought in a feeding bottle, which contained ready-made milk. Qiu Sheng put the pacifier to the puppy's mouth, and the puppy sucked it with its misty eyes open.

Surprised, Zhang Lin also squatted down, "What did it drink?"

Qiusheng said: "Milk, my mother said it can't eat, it can only drink milk."

Zhang Lin was amazed by the luxury of Qiu Sheng's family, he swallowed his saliva, feeling that people are not as good as dogs.

He looked at the puppy in a daze, and didn't notice when Qiu Sheng came over and sniffed his neck. Zhang Lin reacted and pushed his head away: "What are you doing?"

Qiu Sheng said naturally: "Why do I smell something on your body?"

Zhang Lin said: "You are fine, I only smell of mud." He picked peanuts in the yard all morning, and there was dirt all over his body and neck.

Qiu Sheng said, "Oh, that should be the smell of a puppy's milk, not yours."

The room was quiet for a while, only the sound of the puppy whimpering while drinking milk.Suddenly a voice came from the door, "What are you doing here?"

Zhang Lin looked over, "Brother."

Qiu Sheng also turned his head and called Brother Chuan.

The eldest brother took a closer look, "Okay, I'm almost 18 and still playing with dogs."

Qiu Sheng smiled embarrassedly, "No, its mother is gone, we will nurse him."

The eldest brother said: "Oh, you are going to be its nurse."

Zhang Lin: "..."

Qiu Sheng asked, "Brother Chuan, what's the matter with you?"

The eldest brother said: "I just want to see what is fun, and let my brother run into your room every day."

Zhang Lin didn't know why the eldest brother suddenly ran out of people.On the way back, the elder brother didn't give him a good face either.

In summer, it gets dark late.In the evening, Zhang Lin was plucking peanuts in the peanut field. Even though the sun was going down, he was still sweating profusely after bending over for a while.I deeply feel the hard work of being a farmer.

Bind the plucked peanuts with bamboo strips, and Zhang Lin inserted a bunch of them with a bamboo pole with two pointed ends, and carried them back to the yard.When the sun is high, it is not easy to work in the fields, so we can just pick peanuts at home.

His body was covered in dirt and sweat, so he was going to take a shower first.

The eldest brother, who was tinkering with his fishing rod in the yard, saw Zhang Lin enter the shower room, stood up and walked towards the main road in the back room.It was as dark as ink, and he stood motionless under the bamboo forest by the side of the road. From this place, he could see the window of his shower room from a distance. He saw the figure of Xiao Liu walking in the shower room. cold water.When Xiao Liu closed the window, he couldn't see anything

Arrived, only faint lights.

The eldest brother rubbed his fingers, wanting to smoke, but resisted not smoking.Suddenly, I heard the door of Qiusheng's house creak, and a dark figure came out.The eldest brother frowned in the dark. Although it was dark, he could still see things roughly after standing in the dark for a long time.It was Chen Qiusheng. He left the courtyard and walked along the main road towards his house.After walking more than ten steps, he stood still

, After staying for a while, he went back again.

The eldest brother frowned and stood still until the light in the shower room went out.Never saw anyone else appear again.

The next afternoon, Zhang Lin picked peanuts in the yard.Qiusheng came to play with him again.

The two were sitting together talking, when the elder brother who was carrying peanut seedlings from the field saw him and called to him, "Xiao Liu, go to the field with elder brother to pull peanuts."

The sun was so bright, Zhang Lin didn't want to go, "I won't go, it's easy to get sun."

The elder brother said, "I'll give you one minute, hurry up."

Zhang Lin pouted and said to Qiu Sheng, "I'm going to the fields, you can go back."

Chen Qiusheng peeled off a peanut and threw it into his mouth, "Then you go. I'll come find you when I'm not busy."

When Zhang Lin arrived in the field, he saw a big parasol in the field, and his eldest brother was sitting under the parasol drinking water.He waved to Zhang Lin: "Come here."

Zhang Lin got under the umbrella and felt that it wasn't so hot, so he felt less upset.

The eldest brother rummaged through the box, took out a bottle of soda and handed it to him, Zhang Lin took the soda, it was ice.His mood completely improved.

"From now on, you should stay less with Chen Qiusheng." The elder brother said in a bad tone.

Zhang Lin took a sip of the soda, his heart felt cold, his mouth was short, he ignored the elder brother's attitude, but he still asked, "Why?"

The eldest brother said coldly: "There is no reason, your eldest brother will not allow me."

Zhang Lin felt that his eldest brother's attitude towards Qiu Sheng became very strange, since he was obviously fine before.But subconsciously, he felt that the man in front of him was very kind to him, and there was no reason to interfere with his affairs with his friends.It must be that Qiusheng did something that disgusted the elder brother.

He didn't think of a reason for a while, and he didn't want to.
