Ordinary life in fast time travel

The torrential rain did not stop, and Zhang Lin still slept on his eldest brother's bed the next night.He sewed together the holes in the mosquito net with a piece of cloth cut from old clothes.

The elder brother said, "Why do you have so many things to do? Mosquitoes can't fly in such a small hole."

Zhang Lin didn't listen to him, blocked the hole, closed his eyes and fell asleep peacefully.

He was fast asleep, but his elder brother was tossing and turning, no matter how he slept, he couldn't sleep well, and when he closed his eyes, a man appeared in his mind, lying naked in his arms.Originally, the rainy day was very cool, but when he lay there, his whole body felt hot and uncomfortable.

It was crazy, he didn't want to sleep anymore, it would be better if he got up and lay down on the chair in the main room.

Early the next morning, the rain outside the window gradually stopped, and the raindrops from the eaves were pattering on the banana leaves.When Zhang Lin woke up, there was no one around.When I got up and went to the main room, I saw the long-armed and long-legged elder brother sleeping on the chair.

Zhang Lin walked over and patted his arm, "Brother, why are you sleeping here?"

The eldest brother was woken up impatiently.His eyes were black and blue, and he stared at Zhang Lin as if he wanted to kill someone. The chair was too hard, and he finally fell asleep in the early morning.

Zhang Lin said, "Go to sleep in your room, I'll wake up."

Only then did the elder brother stand up with a dark face: "It's already dawn, why don't you sleep on it."

After breakfast early in the morning, the rain stopped completely.Zhang Lin saw that the elder brother went to Qiu Sheng's house and borrowed a long ladder to climb up to the roof. He tore off all the tiles on the roof of his house, and threw away all the broken and rotten ones.The good tiles were coded again.

It cleared up.The sun was baking the water on the ground, and there was a hot and humid breath in the air.

Zhang Lin went to feed the pigs and came back. He saw the third brother and Chen Lu talking on the main road. It was a bit far away and he couldn't hear what they said, but he could see the expression on the third brother's expression. Zhang Lin was surprised to find that the third brother was not cold. Although it's not obvious, the expression on his face is indeed much more kind than before.

Zhang Lin pretended to approach the two casually, and heard Chen Lu say, "Then it's settled, you must come for my birthday."

The third brother seemed to nod his head and then left.The weather cleared and the construction site started again.

Chen Lu stood and looked at the back of the third brother for a while, then turned around, looking in a good mood, Zhang Lin thought about it, and asked in a teasing tone: "Sister Chen Lu, what are you talking about with my third brother? So happy."

Chen Lu was still humming, and when she heard Zhang Lin's question, she smiled generously: "Which eye of yours is happy to see me." After speaking, she left without answering Zhang Lin's question, humming a song.

Zhang Lin carried the pig bucket into the yard, while Chen Suxian was drying the sheets on the fence of the yard.It rained for 2 days, and the quilt was a little damp.When she saw Xiao Liu coming in, she shouted: "Xiao Liu, take out the two cabinets in the corner of your room to dry them out, I noticed some rainwater, don't damage the cabinets."

Zhang Lin let out a cry, and entered the room. There were some old sundries piled up in the corner of the room, and there was a big puddle of water on a high wooden table. He didn't notice that he didn't take a basin to catch water on it.

Zhang Lin saw that the wooden table was wet, so he was lazy and just dragged the wooden table out.The table was a bit heavy, so Zhang Lin pulled the unlocked wooden box casually. There were a lot of old books and papers inside, and a few cockroaches crawled out.

Zhang Lin frowned and backed away a little, trying to push the box back out of sight, but saw a yellowed photo in the middle of the scattered papers.Zhang Lin picked up the photo and looked at it for a while, calling fourth brother in his heart, "fourth brother, mom used to be a teacher?"

The photo is a group photo, it is already a bit blurred, but I can still see Chen Suxian's appearance. She is wearing a denim white shirt, standing among a group of primary school students, with a confident smile on the corner of her mouth.The background of the photo is a school. In Xiaoliu’s memory, he never went to this school, because at his school age, this school was no longer used, and the children in the village transferred to the newly built elementary school across the river to go to school. .This dilapidated school is now overgrown with weeds, and when Xiao Liu was young, he used to herd cows in the yard inside.

The fourth brother stood behind him and bent over to look at the photo in his hand, "Isn't this the elementary school at the foot of the mountain nest? Hey, this is mom?"

It seems that the fourth brother doesn't know either.Zhang Lin looked at the young woman smiling with white teeth in the photo, with a round face and a confident expression, she was similar to Chen Suxian who was now unkempt and working in the mountains and fields all day long, only in the eyebrows.

Zhang Lin put the photo back, and he got the table to dry in the yard.Chen Suxian dried the quilt and started to wash clothes in the yard again. She was dark and thin, and her face was covered with wrinkles from the vicissitudes of time. In Xiaoliu's memory, Chen Suxian had a bad temper and always liked to scold him, but she She is really industrious, and she alone manages everything at home and in the fields.

Zhang Lin also saw in Xiaoliu's memory that when she was in better health in the early years, she often got up at three or four o'clock to go to work in the field, and the men in the family didn't care about things.All she cared about was gambling, she could only treat herself like a man.It's hard for Zhang Lin to imagine that such Chen Suxian has ever been a teacher.

The roof of Zhang Lin's room had been repaired, and it was no longer raining, so he didn't need to borrow a place to sleep in his elder brother's room.

It's just that the eldest brother still doesn't seem to have slept well, and his face is very smelly every morning, especially when he sees Zhang Lin, he can pick out thorns and lose his temper for nothing.

Within two days, the eldest brother said at the dinner table that Chen Suxian would find him a blind date.

Chen Suxian said: "Sister Wang next door told me about several girls. I thought you were not happy, so I didn't mention it to you. If you have an idea, I'll go ask it in the afternoon."

The eldest brother agreed with an "um", and he also said that he might go out after a month or two.He was a big man when he was young and strong, and there were many opportunities outside. If he stayed in the village all the time, he would be like this for the rest of his life.

Zhang Lin silently picked up the rice, because he was hungry, he could usually eat big white rice quietly and deliciously, but tonight it was a little hard to swallow.

After dinner, Zhang Lin accidentally dropped a bowl while washing the dishes, and was caught by Chen Suxian and scolded for half an hour.He went in his left ear and out of his right ear, watching Chen Suxian's vitriolic and vitriolic face, drooling all over the sky, but what he thought was that this is also a poor woman, who can only vent the anger accumulated from everywhere on weekdays to the child he doesn't like Sprinkle on your body.But she is pitiful, what did Xiao Liu do wrong?

The eldest brother came out of the room, his tone full of impatience, "Mom, it's just a bowl, don't always scold Xiao Liu like this. Several people in the village who are the same age as him are about to ask for wives."

Chen Suxian sneered, "Anyone else is someone else, he, begging for a wife? Don't even think about it in this life."

The elder brother frowned and didn't speak, Zhang Lin glanced at him, then went back to the room with his head down.He didn't sleep well at night, and had a dream all night. In the dream was the man named Chen Hao. This was the first time Zhang Lin dreamed of him when he came to this world. When he woke up, he felt depressed.

Two days later, the eldest brother was going to the town for a blind date.Zhang Lin pulled radishes from the vegetable garden behind him early in the morning.There were too many radishes to eat, so Chen Suxian asked him to pull out all the radishes, wash and cut them into shreds and dry them in the sun.

He washed the radishes and put them in a big box.Sitting under the eaves, I carefully shred the radish.

When the eldest brother came out of the house, Zhang Lin looked up and saw that the eldest brother was not wearing his white vest, and finally put on a shirt with a collar and the hem tucked into his trousers.Zhang Lin looked like he was wearing it when he was working outside, but he had never seen him wear it at home anyway.

The eldest brother looked at him, and then moved away.

Zhang Lin looked at him in a daze, looking at his elder brother's figure and thinking of Chen Hao who had been dreaming about these two days.

The eldest brother coughed uncomfortably under Zhang Lin's eyes. They have become strangers for the past two days. The eldest brother no longer talks to him for nothing. Zhang Lin felt his rejection. Although he didn't know why, he behaved well. Moment retreated into his shell, working, eating, and sleeping quietly.

The bicycle bell rang outside the yard, and Qiu Sheng's voice came in: "Xiao Liu, are you home?"

Zhang Lin looked at the gate of the courtyard. Qiu Sheng stepped on the bicycle into the courtyard and said to Zhang Lin with a smile, "Will you go to the town? My dad bought me a new bicycle. Let's go and try it out."

The little friend looked expectantly, but Zhang Lin hesitated.He hasn't finished his work yet. Although Chen Suxian is not at home, if she finds out that he has gone out with Qiusheng again, she will inevitably be scolded.

The eldest brother was holding a water hose in the yard to flush the mud off the motorcycle tires.He got annoyed when he saw Qiu Sheng, "Xiao Liu, you stay at home. You are not allowed to go anywhere."

Zhang Lin heard the words and did not hesitate.Throw the kitchen knife into the radish box.Crossed his legs on the back seat of Qiusheng's bicycle, "Let's go."

The elder brother was stunned for a moment, then unconsciously squeezed the mouth of the water pipe tightly, the water flow thinned and shot powerfully onto the tire, and reflected back, making mud spots all over the legs of his trousers.

Qiusheng rode the bicycle very smoothly, and he rode very fast with one hand, laughing and ringing the bell while riding.

Zhang Lin patted him on the back, "Slow down, I'm going to be thrown out."

Not only did Qiusheng not slow down, but he also rushed downhill while stepping on it. After going downhill, he slowed down. Zhang Lin's face hit his back, and he held Qiusheng's clothes tightly so that he wouldn't be thrown out.He sighed in his heart, not knowing why he was crazy, and agreed to go to town with him.

When I walked to Qishan Bend, because there was a lot of traffic here, it was the intersection of several villages.Therefore, because the soil on the ground has been crushed by the car a lot, it has turned into fine soil, and there is a lot of dust when it is walked casually.So Qiu Sheng slowed down and didn't want to eat dirt.

Unexpectedly, a motorcycle drove up from behind, and it was driving very fast after hearing the sound. The "huh" flew past the two of them, and the dust flew up in an instant. The two of them ate their mouths full of dirt, and they could hardly keep their eyes open.

Qiu Sheng spat out the dirt in his mouth, "Isn't that Brother Chuan? Where is he going? Why are you driving so fast!"

Zhang Lin patted the ashes on his head, feeling a little bit like scolding his mother.

The town was similar to what Xiaoliu remembered, today was the market day, and the roads were full of villagers selling things, it was very crowded.Qiu Sheng locked his bicycle in a special shed for parking bicycles, and the two walked along with the flow of people.

While walking around, Zhang Lin realized that he had left too quickly and didn't bring any money. If he came to the town without money, it would mean that he came for nothing.Although he only saved a few dozen yuan in total, it was all given by his elder brother.

When passing by a meatball rice noodle shop, he was so greedy that he almost drooled.Qiu Sheng said he wanted to invite him, but Zhang Lin said, "I'll give you the money when I get back."

Qiu Sheng glanced at him, "Xiao Liu, you and I are becoming more and more distant. You used to be so polite to me."

Zhang Lin smiled, it was Xiao Liu before, but now it is him.different people.

The two finished a large bowl of rice noodles with meatballs, and their stomachs became round.Qiu Sheng said to go to the bookstore, Zhang Lin had no objection.When passing by a cold drink shop, Zhang Lin saw his elder brother sitting in it, and a woman was opposite him.Sitting there shyly and timidly, it is probably the eldest brother's blind date.

Zhang Lin didn't read much, and went to the bookstore with Qiu Sheng for a long time before going home.

When I got home, my brother was already there.Seeing Zhang Lin coming in from the outside, his expression was not very good, Zhang Lin pretended not to see it.Chen Suxian scolded him a few words, then went to ask her eldest brother how the blind date was, and the eldest brother said it was just like that.

Chen Suxian frowned: "So what? Did you like it?"

The eldest brother was absent-minded: "Almost, everything will do."

A few days later, the eldest brother brought the girl home. The girl's surname is Huang and her name is Guifen. She has an average appearance, a fair figure, and fair skin.They also brought presents, and it was a floral dress for Seventh Sister. Seventh Sister's eyes lit up, and she shouted cheerfully, "Sister-in-law is so kind~"

Huang Guifen blushed, "Sister-in-law, don't shout."

Except for Seventh Sister's skirt, everyone else had it too.Zhang Lin looked at the bag of chocolates stuffed into his hand, and the packaging was not cheap.He removed one and put it in his mouth, raised his head to meet the gaze of his eldest brother, and raised the bag in his hand: "Brother, do you want to eat?"

The elder brother didn't speak, and moved his eyes away.

The girl is better than expected, generous and polite.It's not like when the third brother and his classmates came here before, they didn't know how to move their hands and feet looking at this dilapidated hut.She generously approached everyone, and even the cold third brother said a few words under her affinity.

At noon, the family slaughtered chickens for the first time.When Zhang Lin saw Chen Suxian killing the chicken, he had already secreted too much saliva, but he didn't eat a few pieces when he ate. He saw his elder brother pick up a chicken leg for Huang Guifen, and for some reason, he lost his appetite instantly.
