The brothers were so excited that they opened the small iron box, which was not too large, and the contents were simply King Solomon's treasure to the boys at that time.

Two Swiss Army knives with a simple design and full of functions, of course, no one knows this yet, but it doesn't delay the brothers' love for it. A set of pliers, hammers, hammers, saws and other complete sets of tools that can be used by hand, there are more than a dozen, to be honest, Zhou Wanwan really doesn't know what these are used for, she just prepared them according to the list of handmade tools given by the space. The rest is the materials, there are a full set of leather bands, leather ropes, leather materials for making slingshots, iron sheets, screws, various types of iron nails, steel bars, steel wires, etc., a bunch of all kinds of things, and even a bicycle chain.

In the end, Zhou Wanwan put a solar flashlight and a small insulated kettle according to her own wishes, and in order to hide people's eyes, she deliberately made it look like an ordinary military kettle, a few pencils, two ballpoint pens, two fountain pens, and a notebook. In order to let the two brothers use the contents with peace of mind, it was written: After 1961, whoever finds this box will give the contents of this box to whomever it is.

When Zhou Chen looked through the notebook, Zhou Wanwan held her forehead, she forgot, the two brothers were illiterate, who did they write it to?

However, contrary to Zhou Wanwan's expectations, Zhou Chen actually went to school, although it can be seen from the limited number of words he knows that his education level is no more than the second grade at most. However, fortunately, Zhou Chen was smart, and he actually guessed the approximate meaning based on the few words he knew.

"Now, it's 1961, right?" Zhou Yang had been smashed by the sudden surprise, and his brain was in a state of stagnation.

"I guess, it's over, right?" Zhou Chen was also nervous, he was not sure when he was asked by his eldest brother.

"Uncle said this year is 1962." Zhou Wanwan really couldn't stand it anymore, so she hurriedly gave her brothers a reassurance, and if she continued to worry so much, she would be mentally abnormal.

"You're so smart!" Zhou Chen came over and kissed Zhou Wanwan indiscriminately, he was so excited that he couldn't control his strength, and Zhou Wanwan's head turned red. She pulled her hair to cover her head, not bothering with the abnormal second brother.

The brothers fiddled with the contents of the box for a while, and Zhou Yang could recover some normal thinking, "We have to find a literate person to see, does what the notebook says really want to give to us, we can't take the things that have the owner, isn't that a theft?" ”

"Well, look for Mr. Li from the elementary school to see, he has a good temper, and whoever asks him the word, he will tell him. Then look for Qiao Sixi, the commander of the militia company of the brigade, who has taken a literacy class in the army and can read newspapers. Zhou Chen also agreed with his brother's approach. Although he really wanted the contents of the box, he also had to use it with peace of mind.

"Why do you ask two people? Just ask a person? Zhou Yang was puzzled.

"Ask separately, even if any of them suspect it, they don't know what's going on." Zhou Chen winked at Zhou Wanwan.

Zhou Wanwan clapped his hands for the second brother, he thought about it too thoughtfully! And he also asked two people who basically don't get together to talk about it, making it much less likely to leak secrets.

Just do it, Zhou Chen first copied down the words he didn't know in the notebook, Zhou Wanwan took a look, although it was a little distorted, but there was no missing arm or leg, it was not bad. Then the order of these words was shuffled, and then copied on two pieces of paper, ready to take them back to the village to ask people.

Zhou Wanwan admired Zhou Chen even more, that is, she, as an adult, this matter can only go so far. If Zhou Chen lived before the founding of the People's Republic of China, he would be the material for the underground party.

After a moment's hesitation, the brothers decided that they would still carry the small iron box home. When you understand, if it's not someone else's want, you can send it back.

So, Zhou Yang carried Zhou Wanwan, Zhou Chen wrapped the box with his coat, and when he passed by Nanshan, he cut a bundle of Jindalai branches and hid the small iron box wrapped in clothes.

Walking to the east end of the village, before crossing the road, I saw Principal Liu of the village primary school carrying a bucket of white ash on the wall of Yan Lao's house in the easternmost part of the front street, and the word "good" in "People's Commune is good" was only half written. This can't be a fire, you have to fetch firewood to pick up dry trees and cut them, and there are not a lot of Nanshan. ”

Zhou Chen was stunned for a moment, and was speechless for a while. The three of them went out, and Zhou Chen was responsible for all these things when they greeted and answered, Zhou Yang saw that his younger brother suddenly couldn't answer, and hurriedly said: "My grandmother specially asked us to cut it, saying that the wet branches are soft, and it is just right to kidnap the beans." ”

"That's what happened." Principal Liu turned his head to write his slogan again. On the other wall, Teacher Li from the village primary school is using a poke of mud to cover the slogan he wrote before, ready to write a new one, half of it has been covered, and the remaining half of "how productive is the land" is still left on the wall, and the half of the sentence that was pasted in front should be "how bold people are".

Zhou Chen took out a piece of paper he copied and walked over to ask him, and Mr. Li patiently explained to him one by one, and also annotated each word with pinyin, so that he could review it later.

The three of them said goodbye to Principal Liu and Teacher Li, and after walking for a while, Zhou Chen whispered: "Mom has told me several times that you must be honest with the teacher and not lie. I couldn't tell Principal Liu a lie just now. ”

"I know." Zhou Yang also replied to his younger brother in a low voice, and stopped talking. For a moment both brothers remembered their mother, did not speak, and walked home silently.

The three brothers and sisters arrived home and smuggled Xiao Tie into the Westinghouse smoothly, which was a sigh of relief. Zhou Chen packed up his clothes, and went out with another piece of paper to bridge Sixi.

Zhou Yang separated the things they exchanged from the supply and marketing cooperative, took out five boxes of matches, a package of salt, and prepared them for Mrs. Zhou for a while. When he saw the bag of sugar cubes, Zhou Yang hesitated. Zhou Wanwan immediately knew what her eldest brother was thinking.

"Nannan, give Xiaoxia a few pieces of sugar, okay?" Zhou Yang carefully coaxed his sister, "It will be the May Festival in more than a month, and then the eldest brother will go to sell reed leaves, and after earning money, I will buy them for you." ”

"I listen to my eldest brother." Zhou Wanwan hugged Zhou Yang, she was telling the truth, she didn't have any opinion on this matter, she listened to her eldest brother. Although she knew that giving it to Zhou Xia was likely to cause trouble again, she would not object.

"When your second brother comes back, let's ask him before we talk, okay?" Zhou Yang discussed with Zhou Wanwan again, although he felt that it was more likely that he was talking to himself, what could she know about such a small point?

"Hmmm! I listen to my eldest brother. Zhou Wanwan said seriously. The little curly hair shook with her nodding motion, which made Zhou Yang laugh, and the heavy mood that was originally felt at the thought of Zhou Xia immediately got better.

Zhou Wanwan knows that her eldest brother has always been selfless and tolerant of her younger brothers and sisters, this is true for her and Zhou Chen, and the same is true for Zhou Xia. Although what Zhou Xia did always made the eldest brother sad and disappointed, as long as the eldest brother still recognized her as a sister, he would always think about her. Therefore, this sugar brother is reluctant to eat a mouthful of it, and he has to give Zhou Xia a few pieces, otherwise his heart as a brother will not be peaceful.

Zhou Wanwan thought very clearly, as long as the eldest brother still recognized Zhou Xia, as long as Zhou Xia did not do anything too excessive, she would not stop the eldest brother from treating Zhou Xia. Because in the eldest brother's heart, it is also a younger sister, the same as his own sister, and he needs to care for and love her. Therefore, Zhou Wanwan will not object to the eldest brother's kindness to Zhou Xia, let alone make an obstacle from it, this is the most basic respect for the eldest brother, and it is also her deepest and heaviest love for the eldest brother.

Of course, she will always be watching from the side, if Zhou Xia dares to hurt her eldest brother like in her previous life, she really doesn't mind taking care of her, if there is no eldest brother, who does Zhou Wanwan know her Zhou Xia? Therefore, Zhou Wanwan will not be soft at all when she cleans up Zhou Xia.

After a while, Zhou Chen returned. As soon as he saw his sparkling eyes, Zhou Wanwan knew that he had inquired clearly.

Zhou Chen carefully compared the few words he had noted with the words in the notebook one by one, although he already knew the result, but in the end, when the whole note was read, the brothers were still excited to high-five each other.

Zhou Wanwan was infected by them, and he also had to high-five his brothers, so the three hands folded together and celebrated again. When the three hands struck, Zhou Wanwan unconsciously brought the habit of studying on TV in her previous life, and naturally shouted: "Yay! ”

I have to say that the appeal of this word is really strong, and Zhou Chen naturally shouted along. Then at Zhou Wanwan's suggestion, the three brothers and sisters came again, and they all shouted excitedly: "Yay! ”

"yes yes!" Zhou Wanwan danced happily on the kang all night, what a happiness it was for her to make her brothers happy! Looking at the smiling faces of her two brothers, she even thought that what could be more important than telling them about the space, so that they would stop worrying about life and let them grow up carefree.

But immediately, Mrs. Zhou's scolding pulled her back to reality.

The three of Zhou Yang's brothers and sisters walked for most of the day, and when they came back, they were still locked in their own room screaming and jumping, which was simply too lawless. If you don't scold again, this is going to be in the room? Mrs. Zhou scolded so much that she was very angry, until she scolded the three people, assigned jobs to Zhou Yang and Zhou Chen, and glared at Zhou Wanwan fiercely, so that she lowered her head.

Zhou Wanwan squatted in the yard to count the chickens, watching the two elder brothers, one cleaning up the pigsty and preparing to catch the piglets tomorrow, and the other shoveling grass in the vegetable garden, the impulsive heart just now slowly calmed down.

She still can't say anything about space. This space, whether it is lucky or unfortunate to get it, Zhou Wanwan has never figured it out.

In her previous life, with the arrival of this space, her life fell into chaos. Everything was originally subverted, there were too many things that couldn't withstand its test, and in the end, nothing was left for Zhou Wanwan, making her die with regret, despair, and resentment. And then let her struggle for so many years, she once hated it very much, if it weren't for it, then she would still be that ordinary secondary school art teacher every night, living the most ordinary life, never have to go through this.

In this life, this space gave her the opportunity to start everything from scratch and gave her the ability to help her brothers. However, there were so many things that the siblings had to face. The callousness, viciousness, and selfishness of the Zhou family, as well as the imminent arrival of 1966, the red revolution that lasted for ten years and swept the whole country, there are too many variables in it, and if they are not careful, they may be wiped out because of the existence of this space.

Therefore, this secret must be strictly guarded. If it can always exist as a help in this life, let her share the space with her brothers, and if it still brings bad luck, then let her bear it alone.
