Chapter 1: Wake up
Sun Chen was in a daze, and felt as if someone was whispering around him.
"Dad, please don't let us move out now, my brother still has a fever, it's so cold at night now, that thatched house is leaking on all sides, and there is no dry place to lie down, how can he get good?! Wait for two days for him to subside and then move again~"
Small pleadings were accompanied by intermittent low sobs.
"Second child, don't be soft-hearted and listen to this stinky girl!" A sharp voice of opposition sounded, "This kid just got sick two days ago, so let them delay it for a few days, and if you continue to grind at this time, your mother-in-law will be delayed from entering the door!" ”
"No, Dad, my brother and I promise to hide in the house all day tomorrow, and we will never make a sound, and we will not come out for my stepmother to see!" The immature voice said hurriedly, as if she was afraid that her father would not agree, and argued to him in a low voice: "If it weren't for the medicine prescribed by Li Langzhong, Grandma only let him take one pair, as Li Langzhong said, he would have been fine a long time ago!" ”
"You dead girl, are you blaming me?" The sharp voice rose again, "How many of our villagers are sick and shouting to take medicine?" It's not that you are stubbornly carried, and you really can't hold it up to see Lang Zhong?! It's good for you, your brother just has a fever, so he cried and asked your father to invite Langzhong. I'm not done eating a pair, and I want to eat enough for three days! A poor boy from the countryside, why does he have such a big face? Could it be that the silver that grabbed the medicine fell from the sky?! ”
"Didn't Huzi's family send silver? What people said is clear, this is the medicine money for my brother. The little girl was robbed by her grandmother and reluctantly returned the favor.
"They also said that they gave me half a tael of silver that day to buy something to replenish my body, didn't I buy nothing to eat?!" seems to have been exposed by her granddaughter, and she felt a little ashamed, "Also, your father is going to pick up the daughter of the old Wang family tomorrow, your second uncle's bundle will have to be paid next month, your sister-in-law will go out in half a year, and her dowry has not yet been settled, where is this not a place to spend money?" Just for a small problem that can be passed, we don't have to live as a family?! ”
"But..."
"But what is it?! Erniu, you are usually not an ignorant person, you say, tomorrow is your father's big day, how can you put your stepmother's dowry tomorrow if this house is not vacated? Your mother has been gone for so many years, but your father finally met such a good marriage, can't let the two of you ruin it like this, right? Obediently take your brother to the old mansion first, and wait for your stepmother to pass the door! Come on, the second child, let me go, give the second girl a way and let her help her brother over. ”
"Grandma, my brother is not awake, he can't use his strength, I can't help him alone, can I let my father help me help him over?" After a long while, as if knowing that the fight was over, the immature voice reluctantly compromised.
"It's just you! You can't help your brother, just wake him up! What a delicate body, you can still sleep with such a big movement! Gritting his teeth, he stretched out his hand to the person lying on the bed, "Ah Chen, Ah Chen, hurry up, tomorrow is the day to welcome your daughter-in-law, there are still a lot of places in the house that have not been picked up, but you can't delay your efforts because of you!" ”
Thinking that it was just that my mother was watching a bloody drama to have such a lively movement, Sun Chen was about to turn over and fall back asleep, when his waist was vigorously twisted, "Oops! What is this?! ”
As if he didn't expect the other party to have such a big reaction, the strength in his waist was reduced for a moment, and then it was aggravated, "Okay, you stinky boy!" I'll just say why haven't you been well for so long, you're pretending to be looking for trouble for me, right?! Don't forget that you were the one who said you were going to move out, and even if you want to regret it, you won't be able to stay here! That day, let Li Zhenglai help break the lawsuit, and you were stubborn in front of him and the elders of the clan, saying that he would move out immediately, and said that he didn't want anything but the old house... ”
Ignoring the chatter around him, Sun Chen only opened his eyes in horror at this moment.
The entrance is a dark but unpleasant earthen embryo room, not very large, only ten square meters. Because there is no furniture, the space is not so cramped, but the whole room is only a small window of one foot square, and the light is very bad.
On the kang also made of clay embryos, the faded quilt was washed cleanly, and although there were many patches, they were neatly repaired by fine stitches.
When I looked down, I saw that I was wearing a gray coarse cloth dress that was also patched, and there were many folds on it because of the long bed bed.
There were two people standing along the kang, a woman in an apparently freshly made blue cotton cardigan with a pair of inverted triangular eyes still chattering with her mouth open, and from time to time pointing at herself on the kang and another small body in shabby clothes. The other remained silent, allowing the grandmother to poke his finger at his own head, which had been poked in dishevelled hair.
With the movement of her fingers, her head tilted to the side from time to time, and you can imagine how much force the owner of the finger used.
But the little girl seemed to be accustomed to this treatment, neither hiding nor fighting back, but only pursed her mouth tightly. Seeing Sun Chen wake up, he showed a surprised expression on his face, and stretched out his palm and touched Sun Chen's forehead.
"Brother! Are you awake? How's it going, and is there anything else uncomfortable? Would you like to drink some water? You haven't eaten in days, you're hungry, aren't you? You wait first, I'll make you a bowl of paste! ”
As he spoke, he was about to turn around and leave the edge of the kang.
"Hey, you damn girl! The elders haven't finished their lectures here, what are you doing in such a hurry to leave, what are you going to do? Your brother is waking up just in time, hurry up and pack up your things and move to the old house! I promised a good thing a long time ago, but I see that you brothers and sisters have dragged it out for so long! ”
"My brother just woke up, how can he have the strength to walk without eating!" Because her brother woke up, the little girl seemed to have found support, and her voice couldn't help but be a little higher.
"Who didn't force him at the beginning, it was your brother himself who said that he wanted to take you out of the house! A bowl of mush also needs a pinch of stick noodles! When the old lady heard what she said, she was anxious. I won't ask you for food for the next few days, but if you eat again, you will have to deduct it from the rations of the two of you after the autumn! ”
"Okay, mother, what are you arguing with a child about a bowl of paste? When Ah Chen finishes drinking, I will help Er Niu send Ah Chen to the old house. ”
The man who had been squatting in the doorway and had not spoken stood up.
Hearing her father's words, the little girl finally breathed a sigh of relief, she saw her grandmother's posture just now, but she wanted her brother to go hungry. Fortunately, this father still misses them a little bit and doesn't do things perfectly.
"You are not angry, you are very good with your father, but I am the only one who is a mean grandson?! Think about it, who am I doing this for?! When the old lady heard her son's words, she scolded and said, "I don't care about you, how can I love you!" ”
But in the end, he was still unwilling, he didn't slam the door and went out, staring at Sun Chen, the initiator, with a pair of eyes.
After eating a bowl of thick paste with difficulty under the eye knife that his grandmother kept throwing, Sun Chen, who had been stunned when he woke up, gradually recovered from his shock at this time.
Myself.. This is... Crossed the ???!!
Ren has read countless time-traveling novels, and at the same time, he also feels that because he was born at the wrong time, he can't show his strength in society as he wants, so he infinitely yearns for Sun Chen, who can really travel to a certain place one day to achieve the pinnacle of his life, and he was also shocked at this time.
