Chen Jingnian turned around and walked back, but his eyes kept staring at the mouth of the alley.

A 28 weighted bicycle carrying a crying woman quickly turned the corner.

Chen Jingnian has only one idea now, which is to knock down the guy who rode the car fast and beat him up.

Even if this guy calls himself "brother" since he was a child, even if this guy rolls his upper lip and smiles proudly when he enters the door, even if this guy is wearing a white police uniform.

"Brother, the stick terrier said that the eldest sister didn't want us anymore, and said that I was a drag oil bottle."

A little girl who had just passed Chen Jingnian's waist ran out of the yard, tugging at Chen Jingnian's shirt and crying.

"Sensei is familiar with him, and now the eldest sister is getting married, let's be happy!"

Chen Jingnian squatted down to wipe away his sister's tears first, then wiped off his nose, and sipped it on the root of the jujube tree on the side, grinning with a disgusted expression.

Nan Nan's red eyes were flushed with shyness, and she lowered her head embarrassedly, "Little bean can't wipe his nose." ”

"Oh no, this is your own snot."

Chen Jingnian rubbed his sister's little head with his other hand, and said in a low voice when he got up: "Go and scoop a scoop of water for my brother, and when my brother finishes washing his hands, we will go to find the things that my sister has hidden." ”

The little girl was distracted, her good-looking apricot eyes widened, and the little hand that was covering her coat pocket before was also put down, and the pocket contained the little mouse that her sister folded with a handkerchief.

Stepping through the weeping flower door and looking at the two small pigtails of his sister's upper and lower fans, Chen Jingnian's face that had just been unfolded to coax his sister was clouded again.

In the corner of the wall, a small head with a watermelon head immediately shrank back after seeing Chen Jing.

"Little white-eyed wolf."

Chen Jingnian was still thinking about his sister in his heart, and he didn't have the heart to clean up the stick terrier, a kid who didn't remember to eat or fight.

"Brother, water."

Nan Nan laboriously carried a ladle of water and walked out of the east wing.

"Hey, you want your brother to take a bath!"

Chen Jingnian reached out and took a full scoop of water, exclaimed exaggeratedly, and rinsed his fingers briefly.

Nannan's laughter is very low, and she is giggling "giggle, giggle, giggle" with her leaky little mouth at this moment.

Chen Jingnian looked at his sister's chapped little hands and sighed secretly in his heart.

I caught the little girl's hand and washed it well.

The girl inhaled gently, and the chapped area was a little painful after being wet.

Chen Jingnian led his sister into the house, wiped the water on her hands, took out clam oil from the chest of drawers that was stamped with the words "Serving the People", dipped it in his fingers, and applied it to his sister's hands little by little.

"Brother, my sister took me to sleep yesterday, and I got up early today, so she has time to hide things."

Nan Nan obediently crossed her little hands, because of the change of teeth, her speech leaked with an inexplicable sense of joy.

"My sister must have hidden the bride price given by her godmother."

Chen Jingnian finished painting his sister and rubbed his hands.

Put the clam oil back in its place and gently close the drawer.

His fingers are slender and well-proportioned, and the veins and blood vessels on the back of his hand are clearly visible with the movements of his hands.

"Money? My sister paid off all the money, and I saw my sister give the three mothers a handful of tickets, and the three mothers counted back and forth several times, and a steel hammer pier fell to the ground, and she almost knocked down the vegetable shelf when she went to chase it......"

The little girl squinted her eyes and sniffed the smell of Vaseline on her hand, the oily smell was the rarest in this era of extreme material scarcity.

"If you change the three masters, you have to fly out, and even the ground will be bulldozed."

Chen Jingnian's hands were not idle, and he complained secretly in his heart.

I didn't say this to my sister, mainly because I didn't want to learn a poisonous tongue.

And the object of his complaint is the famous Yan Bugui and his family in the courtyard.

Looking through the drawers of the chest of drawers layer by layer, everything in the drawers was in its place, just like when her mother Li Yulan was alive.

Even with his eyes closed, Chen Jingnian can find what he wants.

It has been almost four years since he inexplicably crossed over to this courtyard, and when he was reborn, the original owner was critically ill, and the doctor had already given his mother a critical illness notice.

But my father, who had been lying on the hospital bed for a long time, died of illness within a few days, and my mother, who had worked hard, sent my father to death, and it didn't take long for her to collapse in the unit again.

With the help of his father's comrades-in-arms, Chen Jingnian finished high school with recuperation, and did not choose to take the university entrance examination, but chose to drop out of school, replace his mother's place, and prepare to work in the third rolling mill.

In the past four years, Chen Jingnian has experienced the loss of his father and mother, and now his sister is married again, and his situation is simply miserable in the eyes of outsiders.

But as a time-traveler, he doesn't think so.

First of all, Chen Jingnian is very glad that the original owner has survived the most difficult part of his life for him, whenever he recalls the memory of this young man with the same name and surname as himself, he gnawed potatoes and sweet potatoes all over the world, and the stomach acid was overflowing and the esophagus was about to burn through, as the successor, he would still sweat profusely, and his throat and eyes would be acidic.

Secondly, due to the short time together, Chen Jingnian did not accumulate a deep relationship with his father, who had a recurrence of an old injury and died in bed for several years, and his mother, who had been in a trance after his father's death, and his sister Chen Huiling, who had been taking care of him for the past three years.

At that time, Chen Jingnian's body was very weak, and his body and mind were still in confusion after the crossing. And because of material scarcity, the body recovered very slowly, and the burden of life suddenly fell on her sister Chen Huiling, who was in high school.

At that time, Chen Huiling got up in the dark every day to carry water, chop wood, wash clothes, and cook, not only to take care of her mother and young sister, who had evacuated her body, as well as Chen Jingnian, who was thin and weak, but also to seize all the time to study hard.

And the only thing Chen Jingnian can do is to do some small things within his power with ease, coax his sister who loves to cry, and not add a little trouble to the eldest sister Chen Huiling.

……

"Brother, I'm hungry."

Thinking about the fruit box in the drawer, she hurriedly rubbed it off the stool.

Chen Jingnian shook off the divergent thoughts, turned his head and scratched his sister's little nose, don't look at this little girl is not tall, her face is yellow and thin, but her heart and eyes are not lacking at all, and her eyes are wilting ideas.

took out Zhao Jianjun's door-to-door gift from the drawer, opened a box of fruits on it, and instructed: "Don't eat everywhere, don't eat it." ”

"I take it, take the box and pick it up."

Nan Nan fanned her eyes twice, and there was a ghost idea in her little brain.

"Take the lid, take the box, you can't eat the box!" ，

Chen Jingnian took the lid of the box and put two pieces of bean paste cake on the table. He took out a clean towel and fanned the box, and instructed, "Okay, you can only eat two pieces." I have to eat at noon. ”

It's not that Chen Jingnian is reluctant, but that meat oil is added to the puff pastry fruit of bean paste flower cake, and my sister has a weak spleen and stomach, and it is not easy to restrain if she eats too much.

"Brother, the stuffing inside is for you to eat."

Nan Nan sat on the bench solemnly, broke off the corner of the bean paste flower cake with a sense of ceremony, picked out the most delicious fillings inside, and held it to Chen Jingnian with her small hands.

"Brother doesn't eat, Zhao Jianjun invited his brother to drink the wine yesterday, the dog ......"

Chen Jingnian swallowed the dirty words in the back, held his sister's hand, and fed the filling to the small mouth with saliva.

He has never eaten bean paste and flower cake in his life, and it can even be said that since he crossed over, he has never eaten anything like pastries except for daily foods such as cabbage, potatoes and stick noodles.

But as the only boy in the family, Chen Jingnian eats and wears a lot more than his eldest sister and younger sister.

Especially during the period of rebirth and recovery after that serious illness, almost everything in the family was basically available to him.

"Brother, did your brother-in-law invite you to eat dog meat?"

Nan Nan covered her mouth, for fear that a little bit of slag would fall out of her mouth, but she could still hear surprise and envy in her voice.

"Bai Pi'er, and a plate of sliced pork."

Chen Jingnian laughed, and at the same time, his hand finally touched a small cloth bag on the wooden beam at the bottom of the chest of drawers.

In the sound of his sister sucking saliva, he opened the small cloth bag, and several wool tickets, cloth tickets, food stamps and other colorful pieces of paper appeared from inside, and Chen Jingnian's eyes were immediately wet.

"Brother, what's wrong with you...... Yikes! ”

One small hand wiped the corner of Chen Jingnian's eyes, and the other little hand deviated from the lid of the box.

"Eat, don't drop it again."

Chen Jingnian reached out to hold the lid of the box that almost fell to the ground, and put it back on the dining table.

My sister's lean little face turned white and red, and she pushed the lid of the box inside, and her eyes stole over.

"My sister didn't bring anything with her, she left all the money and food stamps."

Chen Jingnian tied the cloth bag and put it back in its place.

Nan Nan blinked, not quite sure what that meant.

Seeing that his brother's face returned to its original state, he lowered his little head and launched an attack on the fruit with confidence.

Chen Jingnian closed the drawer tightly, picked up a glass cup from the enamel plate on the counter, and poured a glass of water for the girl.
