Chapter II

By the time I got home, it was already dark.

Grandma Zhou is thin and small, but her skin is very white, and it can be seen that she did not look bad when she was young.

As soon as he saw Zhou Xiaoguang, he smiled and squinted.

"Why haven't you come to see grandma for a long time, grandma wants to kill you, go, go into the house, grandma made you a bun, and boiled two eggs for you, go into the house and eat."

As he spoke, he pulled Zhou Xiaoguang into the house, and Zhou Xiaoguang motioned to Zhou Xiaoran to follow with his eyes.

Zhou Xiaoran nodded indifferently, he had long been used to it.

"Xiaoran, you're tired all the way, hurry, come into the house and rest." Uncle Wang Cui greeted Zhou Xiaoran with a smile like a flower. Zhou Xiaoran knew that it was for the sake of the several bags of luggage that Uncle Zhou carried in, which contained Zhou Xiaoran and Zhou Xiaoguang's rations during this time, as well as some defective fabrics processed internally in Zhou Zhipeng's factory, as well as two catties of pork.

Every year.

When the eldest aunt saw that the bag was full of rice and fine white noodles, her smile was even brighter, thinking that this could be exchanged for a lot of coarse grains, and the meat could also be made into bacon, which would be used for the wedding banquet when her son got married.

"Mother, this material is beautiful, make me a bragi, everyone in the city wears that."

It was the uncle's daughter Zhou Xiaohong who spoke.

"What new clothes to make, didn't I just make one the year before last, these materials are kept for your aunt, she lives in the city, she has to wear them well, otherwise people will laugh at them."

Grandma Zhou was unhappy when she heard Zhou Xiaohong say that she wanted new clothes, and after speaking, she thought about it and added: "I'll make one for you when you say kiss." ”

Zhou Xiaohong pursed her lips unwillingly, glanced at the white shirt and overalls worn by Zhou Xiaoran, snorted, flicked her braids, and walked away.

Zhou Xiaoran was speechless.

It's not that I won't give you new clothes to wear.

Until it was time to eat, when Zhou Xiaohong saw that Zhou Xiaoguang was eating steamed buns with three and noodles, and the two eggs were all given to Zhou Xiaoguang, her heart was unbalanced, why, grandma is eccentric! I was angry and didn't eat it, but I saw that Zhou Xiaoran was like her, eating mixed noodles and steamed buns, without eggs, and the anger in my heart came over again.

No one cares about Zhou Xiaohong's inner activities, Grandma Zhou has been greeting Zhou Zhipeng all the time, her youngest son is the guarantee of her comfortable life, as for Zhou Xiaoran's mother Chen Yun did not get any attention, even the newborn grandson did not hear Grandma Zhou's half of the concern.

Zhou Xiaoran knew that it was because of her mother Chen Yun.

Grandma Zhou doesn't like Chen Yun, even if Chen Yun comes to visit her hometown every year, buys her things, sends money and food, but Grandma Zhou is unmoved, and even as Zhou Xiaoran grows up, she becomes more and more disgusted with the two of them, and often talks about the good of the previous second daughter-in-law.

Zhou Zhipeng's ex-wife is a person who is away from Tanjiagou, which is more remote and poorer, plus Zhou Xiaoguang's grandmother's family is a foreign surname of Tanjiagou, and she has not been doing very well, she really couldn't afford to raise a child in the early years, so she gave her daughter to the old Zhou family as a child daughter-in-law, and later gave birth to a girl and a boy, that is, Zhou Xiaojun and Zhou Xiaoguang, but the good times did not last long, and when Zhou Zhipeng gained a firm foothold in the provincial capital and wanted to take the mother and son into the city, Zhou Xiaoguang's mother died of illness, leaving five-year-old Zhou Xiaojun and two-month-old Zhou Xiaoguang.

In less than half a year, Zhou Zhipeng married Chen Yun, and soon gave birth to Zhou Xiaoran, Grandma Zhou was suspicious of Zhou Zhipeng's remarriage so soon, and Chen Yun, the daughter-in-law in the city, did not like the old lady, which caused Grandma Zhou to miss the diligent and virtuous first second daughter-in-law who grew up since childhood, so that every time she would talk about how good the dead daughter-in-law was in front of Chen Yun and Zhou Xiaoran.

If it weren't for Zhou Xiaoran who learned the truth when she was more than a year old, Zhou Xiaoran herself couldn't help but wonder if there was something hidden in it, because her date of birth did not match her parents' marriage time, and she claimed that she was born prematurely.

There are no entertainment activities in the countryside, the locust tree brigade is close to the county seat, the conditions are relatively good, and the electricity has been connected, but Grandma Zhou is reluctant to turn it on, the electricity bill is too expensive, and after a while, Grandma Zhou urged everyone to go back to the house to sleep.

The Zhou family has three rooms, one for Grandma Zhou, one for Uncle Zhou and his wife, one for Zhou Xiaohong, and one for Zhou Xiaohong's brother Zhou Xiaobing, but he hasn't married a daughter-in-law yet, so it's one person, Grandma Zhou hesitated for a long time and let Zhou Xiaoran enter her house.

Zhou Xiaoran looked at Grandma Zhou's disgusted expression, and her heart turned sideways.

When there was no sound of speech in each room, the insect cries outside were more obvious, and Grandma Zhou's snoring was getting louder and louder, Zhou Xiaoran quietly got up, went to the toilet, covered the door, and flashed into the space.

This space was there in the previous life, about two acres of flat land, and there was a mountain behind it, but Zhou Xiaoran had never gone up, because he didn't find the way, but a hot spring pool at the foot of the mountain was often visited. There are no buildings in this space, when I first came in, it was a barren, except for the natural hot spring pool and a stream that flowed down from the mountain, the rest was weeds, and then Zhou Xiaoran unintentionally planted a fruit tree in the space, and found that the fruit was much better than the outside, and the body had obvious changes after long-term consumption, the eyes became clearer, and the posture was lighter, so Zhou Xiaoran reclaimed most of the vacant land: an area of two hundred square meters was planted with Chinese herbs and various flowers, There are many precious medicinal herbs among them, and after so many years, the ginseng has grown to the thickness of her forearm. There is half an acre of land planted with grain, don't look at the small area, the high yield and the short cycle, in the last life, the Zhou family of six could not eat it all. Next to the grain field is a vegetable field, a green field, just looking at the mood is very good. There is also a pool located on the edge of the creek, which Zhou Xiaoran spent a long time digging out with a spade, leading to the water in the creek, and the pond is full of fish, all of which are Zhou Xiaoran's favorite varieties, and there are also ordinary varieties that are put into this life.

There is a row of fruit trees planted around the small pond, there are common ones, and there is even a mango tree, which was originally planted with the mentality of giving it a try, but I didn't expect it to grow well. Zhou Xiaoran went to look at a few chickens raised in the fence again, grabbed a handful of shelled rice and sprinkled it in, and a few chickens came over to eat, in order to make the chicken breeding ground not so fast, she had to pick up eggs diligently, otherwise, she would take out a nest by herself if she was not careful.

In addition to these, the rest of the space is used for storage, there are farm tools that were put in the previous life, and there are personal items from small to large that she is going to put in when she goes abroad, clothes, shoes, bags, jewelry, etc., but unfortunately these are not used now, and can only occasionally wear and wear stinky beauty in the space, and there is a lot of food she loves to eat, she originally planned to study abroad, and thought that she could only eat hamburger steak for several years, so she collected a lot of delicious space, and it won't be bad anyway, so far, half of it has been consumed, She didn't have much opportunity to take it out and eat it, and she didn't feel full when she ate it in the space, and she didn't taste anything yet.

Another special feature of this space is that whether it is a plant or an animal, as long as you put the seeds in it and leave it alone, it will grow and reproduce by itself, which can save Zhou Xiaoran a lot of things, otherwise she is a little girl who grew up in the city, where will she know how to farm.

After inspecting the space, Zhou Xiaoran was about to take a hot spring bath, and he was almost tired from riding in the car this day.

Hey, thinking that she has lived in this strange world for fifteen years, after the initial fear and confusion, Zhou Xiaoran accepted the reality and regarded the home of this world as her real home, but Chen Yun's appearance like her mother in the previous life gave her a sense of peace of mind, and slowly, sometimes she couldn't even remember her relatives and friends in the previous life, it felt like a dream, and the only thing that told me that all this was real was the space that she had in the previous life.

After soaking for half an hour, Zhou Xiaoran came out of the space, and as soon as he came out of the space, there was a burst of dung fragrance, Zhou Xiaoran hurriedly got out of the toilet, and lay down on the kang lightly, listening to Grandma Zhou's snoring, Zhou Xiaoran also slowly fell asleep.
