Next Chapter

On Chinese New Year's Eve 2050, 26-year-old well-known e-commerce Youyou watched the Spring Festival Gala alone in the villa.

With the countdown to the "5, 4, 3, 2, 1" New Year, the TV screen is full of red envelopes.

Cheerful music, the host's enthusiastic shouting: "Grab the red envelope!" brought a touch of passion to the lonely Yoyo, and shook it violently at the screen when he touched the mobile phone.

A blinding light flashed, tragedy.

"Wake up, my grandmother is going to give out red envelopes!" Youyou opened her eyes with difficulty in the call, and saw a little Zhengtai with red lips and white teeth, shaking herself anxiously.

What's the situation?

Yoyo reached out and patted his swollen and aching head, and a memory that didn't belong to him welled up.

Dear, I grabbed a big red envelope for the New Year!

Although this body is also called Yoyo, it is only 5 years old.

Thinking of his successful person who is nearly three years old, wearing it on an ignorant little child, and he doesn't even know what age it is, Youyou suddenly burst into tears with black lines on his head.

But fortunately, I have sound limbs and good health, not only my family is complete, but I am also a careful liver at home, and I can cross the welfare.

Xiao Zhengtai saw that although Yoyo woke up, he was still ignorant, and shouted loudly: "Grandma, my sister is awake." He turned and ran out.

Lying motionless on the bed, his mind still stuck in front of the crossing, recalling his experience of more than 20 years.

The era has entered the middle of the 21st century, with a high degree of scientific and technological progress and a great abundance of materials. The pollution-free and safe food produced by high-tech means is nutritious, but the taste is not satisfactory. Pure and natural green foods are expensive and often have no price.

The living environment is not optimistic, and the government's many measures to deal with it have little effect. The wide application of intelligent machines has brought convenience to people's lives, but the exquisite mechanism products are the same, lacking the agility and vitality of handmade products, and handmade products are very popular.

The rapid development of the electronic network has facilitated people's communication, but also alienated everyone's communication.

Yoyo was abandoned due to a natural disability in his right foot, and grew up in an orphanage. But God opened a window at the same time as he closed the door, and his mind was skillful and intellectual.

Not only excellent grades from primary school to university, but also inconvenient legs and feet but good at hand-made, cutting and cooking, embroidery and paper-cutting, home appliance repair, hand-carving and other skills, in their free time generally stay at home, processing all kinds of handmade products.

Due to his disability and limited mobility, Yoyo applied for a store online during his college years, selling his handicrafts and undertaking customizations, and his rich income ensured a rich life.

After graduating from Kyoto University, Yoyo turned down various employment opportunities and continued to engage in e-commerce. Although she is as beautiful as a flower, her love life has always been blank due to her physical disability.

In just five years, Yoyo has developed his small shop into one of the top 10 well-known shops in the handicraft industry, and its handmade products are highly touted.

The success of her career has not diluted the loneliness in Yoyo's heart, and the withdrawn character formed since childhood has made Yoyo unconsciously resist interacting with people, and her X treasure store is all managed by Zhi Brain. Although he lacks the flexibility to adapt, he is absolutely loyal, and acts completely according to the will of Yoyo.

"Youyou woke up obediently, get up quickly, and celebrate the New Year. With the sound of pampering, a woman of nearly fifty years old entered, nearly 1.7 meters tall, with a strong body and a kind face.

You subconsciously knew that the old man was the grandmother of this body.

Grandma said and walked over, took out a new cotton coat from between the two quilts covered by Youyou, and put it on her body, making the 26-year-old Youyou blush.

"Grandma, I'll wear it myself. ”

"Okay, we're a year older, and we'll wear it ourselves. ”

Grandma said this, but she dressed her neatly in her hand, picked up a wooden comb and combed two braids, and tied a beautiful bow with a brand-new red ribbon.

"Look, we're pretty!"

Grandma hugged her to the mirror on the kang cabinet, and a little girl with pink carving appeared in the mirror.

Double eyelids and big eyes, straight nose bridge, small cherry lips, baby fat face and dimples, and I am simply the same person as myself in my previous life. A handmade new cotton coat with small yellow flowers on a red background, like an auspicious doll on a New Year's painting.

"Sister, go and see, it's time to set off firecrackers (firecrackers)!" Xiao Zhengtai, who woke up Yoyo, broke in, pulled Yoyo up and ran out of the house.

Yoyo now knows, this is his brother Haohao.

Yoyo was pulled outside the house and saw his energetic grandfather hanging firecrackers on bamboo poles. The colorful firecrackers are nearly two meters long, reflecting auspiciousness and festivity, and setting off a strong New Year's atmosphere.

It's not dawn yet, and I don't know what time it is. In the courtyard, a red lantern hung from the elm branch, and a thick red candle lit inside illuminated the whole courtyard red.

A large courtyard, more than 50 meters long from north to south, a row of twelve halls in the north, although it is a tile house, the wall is a brick buttress and an earthen wall, there is no courtyard wall, and the south side of the courtyard is a forest.

Xiaoyou learned from his memory that his current home is in the easternmost two north rooms. Grandpa and grandma took their brother Haohao and Youyou to live in the easternmost side, and their parents took their younger brother Didi to live in the west, and the two east wings were their own kitchens.

Under the eaves of the kitchen is a wooden board with a dozen chickens nested on it, and under the chicken rack is a chicken nest.

On the south side of the kitchen was a large straw hut, surrounded by a half-man's high fence wall, separated by a fence, one side by the kitchen was piled with dry leaves, hay and firewood, and the other half was surrounded by more than a dozen green goats.

The five rooms in the middle of the north house are the brigade headquarters and warehouse, which are also the office of the village, which is actually the production team, but people are used to calling it the brigade headquarters.

In front of the brigade headquarters was a tall wooden pole with a large horn hanging from it.

The five rooms on the west side are the livestock houses of the brigade, and the two west wings live in the family of five of the breeder Han Defu.

Grandma took his younger brother Didi out of the hall to the west, he was dressed in a new cotton coat with small green flowers, a pair of big round and bright eyes on his round face, thick long eyelashes bent upward, and a red mouth yawning, and a look of getting up.

The cute baby of pure cuteness is so likable.

"Hao Hao, it's time to make dumplings, set off firecrackers!" Mom's shout came from the kitchen, and Dad took a long burning branch from the kitchen and came out to light a firecracker.

Hao Hao held the long bamboo pole obliquely, grandma and grandpa covered the ears of his younger brother and Yoyo respectively, and the red lanterns reflected the cheerful smiling faces of the whole family.

In a burst of "crackling" firecrackers, the colorful shredded paper floated down one after another, and a large piece fell on the ground, and the bright shredded paper was spread in the clean yard, which was particularly eye-catching and beautiful.

As soon as the sound stopped, Hao Hao ran to the pile of shredded paper and pulled, and the cheerful shout followed suit.

"A red one!"

"Two yellow!"

"Green! another yellow!"

Grandma's shout was in a trill: "Hao Hao be careful, don't blow up!"

Soon, more than a dozen firecracker barrels were picked out without exploding, and Hao Hao grabbed them with both hands, and the flowers were also good-looking.

"Here, don't take it out. Hao Hao said, and put a few in the pockets of Yoyo and Didi respectively.

"I'll see. Didi was anxious to dig out, and when he saw the colorful firecracker barrels, his excited eyes lit up, and he was completely sober.

"It's cold outside, come in!" said Grandpa, dragging the three siblings into their house, the kang had been cleaned up, and a kang table had been set up.

Grandma brought out a basin of warm water from the kitchen, washed the faces of the brothers and sisters, and took the iron cylinder of horse oil (face oil) to rub incense one by one.

Yoyo took the opportunity to carefully observe the family, grandpa has gray hair, thin body but ruddy complexion, elegant manners, noble throughout, black coarse cloth cardigan is wearing the taste of Tang costumes, and his age is about sixty years old.

Grandma has a tough body, a cheerful personality, and neat movements, and her full head of black hair makes her look less than fifty years old.

Mom and Dad are even more handsome guys and beauties, they don't look like they're even thirty years old, their brother is Xiaozhengtai, and their younger brother is a cute baby.

The two elders wore old black coarse cloth old-fashioned cotton clothes, and their parents wore eighty percent new green military uniforms.

Although they are military uniforms, they can't hide the scholarly temperament on them, and they can be seen at a glance that they are learned people. From the clothes of the whole family, it can be known that it has now entered the new China after liberation.

There is no window on the north wall of grandma's room, and there is a front photo of a great man in the center, and below is a large kang, with a kang cabinet on the east side and two kang cabinets on the west side. On the east side of the door was a small wooden window, and the white paper on which it was pasted had turned yellow.

Under the window was a wooden table with two drawers and a chair, on which was an enamel tray with a bright red peony flower pattern, in which a bamboo-shelled thermos was placed, and two lit red candles on the table filled the room with red light.

There was a small radio hanging behind the door, but there was no sound, maybe it was not the time to play, and there was no sign in the room to show the age and time.
