Ordinary life in fast time travel

The fire in the stove was very hot, and the water in the iron pot was gurgling. Stuff the dried bean pod seedlings in the bag.

The bean pods were burning and crackling, thick smoke came out, Zhang Lin coughed twice, he brushed the white smoke in front of him, closed his eyes and took a step back, stepped on something, and there was a 'oooh' sound, Zhang Lin looked down , a ball of white hair, looking up at him, with two round eyes shining, looking very wronged, Zhang Lin pushed it with his feet: "Don't keep spinning on my heels, go outside and play."

The little white dog took a step back reluctantly, Zhang Lin was busy stirring the jelly in the pot, and had no time to take care of it.

Jiang Jiancheng limped in through the back door with a handful of firewood in his arms. Panting, he put down the firewood and said, "Xiao Fei, your fire is getting too big, and the water will boil and it will be small."

Zhang Lin quickly squatted down and stuffed a piece of firewood into it. It took a certain amount of time for the firewood to burn, and the fire was a little weaker.

Jiang Jiancheng was puzzled: "I didn't finish the last pot. Is it because you haven't done it for so long that you forgot all about it?"

Zhang Lin nodded: "It's a little rusty, Dad, you can do it. I'll go outside to guard the stall."

Jiang Jiancheng dragged a bamboo chair over and sat down on the stove.

"Okay, don't get the price wrong again, it's 3 yuan a bowl now."

Zhang Lin let out an oh, and he went to the door to wash his hands. Jiang Jiancheng was still talking about what happened yesterday afternoon. Yesterday Zhang Lin helped sell jelly outside. He sold it for 2 yuan a bowl all afternoon, and Jiang Jiancheng was not heartbroken to death.

Zhang Lin took a big straw hat and wore it. It is July and the sun outside is very poisonous.

A blue Coca-Cola parasol was set up outside the two red-brick bungalows. Under the umbrella were two large iron buckets, one for bean curd and the other for jelly.There are more than a dozen bottles of honey on a simple wooden shelf next to it, and a cardboard box next to it says 3 yuan for jelly, 3 yuan for bean curd, 4 yuan for sweet potato syrup, and 50 yuan for honey.

Zhang Lin was sitting on a wicker chair, talking to 77 while eating bean curd, "Jiang Xiaofei is poorer than Zhou Cheng."

77 comforted him: "It's better than Xiao Liu."

Zhang Lin was successfully comforted. After eating the bean curd, he fanned it with a plastic fan.A black Buick wobbled out of the corner of the mountain forest, and stopped when it passed the parasol. The window was rolled down, and a young man wearing glasses smiled and showed his white teeth: "Little brother, we still have to go to the top!" how long?"

Zhang Lin: "It takes 40 minutes to walk. There is a mountain road in front of me. I can't drive in."

The young man with glasses looked around and saw several cars parked in a large open space beside the red brick house, and asked, "Can you park here?"

"It's free for those who buy sugar water, and it's ten yuan for a day if you don't buy it."

Before the young man with glasses could speak, one of the two girls who got off the back seat complained, "This Oak Hill is not yours, why do you need ten yuan to stop?"

Zhang Lin lowered his head to look at his phone. He was asked more than a dozen times a day, and he didn't even bother to answer.

The young man with glasses said, "Buy two bowls of sugar water and eat it. I'll park the car."

The two girls saw the words written on the paper shell, and she said, "Okay, I haven't eaten jelly for a long time."

Zhang Lin held a plastic bowl to hold jelly for them, and a plastic jar next to it contained white sugar. He asked, "Can I add sugar or honey?"

"Honey."

Zhang Lin: "I need to add an extra piece of honey."

The girl choked, her face full of disgust: "Add sugar."

……

Today is Sunday, and there are many people visiting the mountains.The black car had just parked, a man and two women were eating jelly while walking to the back path.

After a while, several waves of people came in, some were students, some looked like girls from a nearby factory, they were riding shared bicycles, laughing and joking.Jelly noodles and bean curds were selling quickly. Zhang Lin was busy collecting money to find money. He moved slowly, and a bunch of girls stood behind him. Some said: "Boss, I haven't found my money yet."; , how do you sell honey?"

Zhang Lin gave someone some change, and then gestured to the words written on the cardboard, "Honey 50."

The girl who asked the question smiled and said, "Is it real honey?"

Zhang Lin took off his straw hat and fanned himself, pointing to several wooden boxes hanging on the mountain behind the house, "See, those are beehives."

The girls looked in the direction he pointed.Sure enough, I saw a few wooden boxes inlaid among the lush vegetation, and I could see many bees flying around there from a distance.

There is a kind of thin-skinned person who would be embarrassed if asked if he would not buy it. The girl said: "Then I will buy a bottle. Do you want to buy it?"

She asked her companions, and two of the companions, who bowed their heads and whispered, also bought it.

Zhang Lin found a bag to fill them with honey.

77 suddenly said: "They are discussing how handsome you are."

Zhang Lin: "..."

He asked curiously: "Jiang Xiaofei and Zhou Cheng, who is more handsome?"

77: "It's different, Jiang Xiaofei has fair skin and is pretty."

Zhang Lin: "Jiang Xiaofei and Jiang Xiaoyun look very similar, after all, they are twin brothers and sisters."

77 said: "Theoretically, it should look similar, but I haven't seen it before."

Jiang Xiaoyun was the target of Zhang Lin's mission this time. She disappeared a year ago in Oak Mountain, while washing clothes by the pool in front of her house.

Jiang Xiaoyun has been obedient since she was a child, and she will tell her parents wherever she goes that there is no possibility of running away from home.And at that time, she was just washing clothes, and she disappeared.

The younger sister disappeared, and the family frantically looked for her. They almost turned over the huge oak tree hill, but no one was found.They reported to the police later, and the police also dispatched a lot of police forces. The search and rescue team took hounds to search in the mountains for a few days, but found nothing.

Jiang Xiaofei's mother, Li Xiu'e, had some mental problems because of this. When it was good, it was the same as usual, eating and doing everything, and when it was not good, she often cried and laughed and called Jiang Xiaoyun's name.

Zhang Lin's mission is to find the missing Jiang Xiaoyun.

He has been here for more than a week, and he only came back to this house yesterday.Jiang Xiaofei just graduated from high school and did not go to university. He works in a Japanese auto parts factory in the new development zone outside the mountain. He is a small line assembler on the assembly line.

When Zhang Linchuan came here, he had been plugged in the factory for a week, and he worked the night shift, sleeping during the day and working in the workshop at night.Finally, I had a two-day vacation on the weekend before I had a chance to come back.When he came home this time, he planned to tell his family about his resignation.

For the original owner, the salary of the auto parts factory is not bad.But for Zhang Lin, time is not conducive to the completion of his task.

Jiang Xiaofei's family has lived in this Oak Mountain for generations. They used to live in the village at the entrance of the mountain. Later, the government built a cement road in this mountain. After the road into the mountain was easy to walk, tourists increased. Jiang Jianping lived in the mountain. Two red brick houses were built in the mountain nest, and they lived by selling some sugar water and honey to passing tourists.

Oak Mountain is not a famous tourist attraction, but there are high mountains and dense forests, and there are many valleys and waterfalls.In summer, the nearby villagers, as well as the workers in the series of factories in the new development zone, all like to go to the mountains to cool off the heat, and outsiders don't know this place.

……

There were fewer tourists entering the mountain at noon, and Li Xiu'e was in charge of looking at the bean jelly stand.

Zhang Lin ate a purple potato, and planned to go to the pool where Jiang Xiaoyun disappeared, followed by a group of white-haired dogs.One person and one dog crossed a moss-covered stone bridge, turned around, and there were big off-white stones. In the middle of the stones was a quiet pool of water, reflecting the surrounding vegetation, and the pool was green.

The water flows down from the top of the mountain and becomes a river in the valley.Because of the terrain, there are pools of water everywhere, some deep and some shallow.

The one in front of Zhang Lin is shallow.There were a few bare-bottomed children playing in the water, and their parents were sitting nearby eating melon seeds and chatting.Zhang Lin sat down on a big rock, holding his mobile phone while eating to see if there was a signal.

Because it is in the mountains, the mobile phone often has no signal and cannot connect to the Internet.

Zhang Lin was very uncomfortable. He said, "It seems that my diary will be discontinued."

77 said: "You can write it well, and if you occasionally catch a network signal, send it as soon as possible."

Zhang Lin nodded, thinking it was a good idea.

Xiaobai slept at his feet, Zhang Lin stood up, and it woke up immediately, and walked down with difficulty with his master.The large gaps between the stones are nothing to Zhang Lin, but to Xiaobai with short legs, they are a gap.Zhang Lin walked a few steps, and when he heard the anxious whimpering behind him, he turned around and reprimanded, "I told you not to follow."

That being said, he walked back a few steps, picked it up, and went down to the edge of the pool.Zhang Lin put Xiao Bai down, and he went into the pool to wash his hands.

An aunt who was chatting next to her knocked melon seeds in her mouth and asked with a smile, "Xiao Fei, are you looking for a girlfriend?"

Zhang Lin said, "No."

The aunts laughed, "Is there any in the factory? You can find it at your age."

"I'm still young, don't be in a hurry."

"You are not in a hurry, your parents should be in a hurry."

Zhang Lin didn't answer. He stared at the smooth stone that his sister used to wash clothes in a daze, trying to end the topic with silence.

There was no signal on the mobile phones of the aunts, and when they were bored, one of them saw his expression and asked cautiously, "Is there any news about your sister?"

Zhang Lin said, "No."

The aunts sighed, "It's been a year."

What Zhang Lin thought was also that a year had passed. Jiang Xiaoyun disappeared in July last year. At that time, it was also the peak tourist season in Oak Mountain. There were many tourists coming and going. Is it possible that she was kidnapped?

The possibility of being kidnapped should be relatively small. She was 17 years old last year, and she is already at the age of knowing good and evil.

Compared with abducting, it is more likely that someone beat her and took her away.

Zhang Lin looked at the surrounding terrain. If he wanted to go out from here, he would definitely pass the road in front of Jiang's house. He closed his eyes and recalled the situation of that day. It was a pity that Jiang Xiaofei came back that afternoon. After returning, his parents had already called Relatives and villagers are looking for someone.

Having no idea, Zhang Lin stayed for a while, and heard Jiang Jiancheng standing on the bridge calling him to go home for dinner.

Zhang Lin went up with Xiaobai in his arms.A family of three eats lunch on a small table under an umbrella, so that tourists can also take care of shopping.

Zhang Lin said at the dinner table that he planned to resign.

Jiang Jiancheng said: "How can I leave my job properly, Xiaofei? No job is easy. At least the auto parts factory is regular. Although it is a bit hard, there is still [-] a month. There are benefits during the Chinese New Year and holidays."

Li Xiu'e didn't say anything, she was serious about picking up vegetables for her son. After she had a mental problem, her behavior became very slow, because she knew that she had a problem, so she tried not to speak as much as possible, which had become a habit.

Zhang Lin pretended to be the original director, and said impatiently, "I just don't want to work. It's very tiring to work the night shift!"

Jiang Jiancheng sighed: "You're not going to work. What are you going to do? Maybe you want to sell jelly with your father. What can you do if you live in this mountain. The main reason is that you haven't found a wife yet, and there are many opportunities in the factory."

Zhang Lin turned a deaf ear to his earnest words.

While eating, Li Xiu'e paid attention to her son's bowl. Seeing that he had finished eating a poached egg, she immediately put another one into his bowl. After finishing the egg, she picked up some vegetables with chopsticks, and scooped up two spoonfuls of tofu by the way.

Zhang Lin managed to finish half a bowl of food, and looked at the full bowl, he was dumbfounded: "Mom, you can eat by yourself, I'm full."

"Eat, you eat."

Li Xiu'e guarded her bowl, for fear that Zhang Lin would take the food back to her.

Zhang Lin had no choice but to continue eating.

There was a voice from behind, it was the young man with glasses in the morning, compared to the chicness when he got out of the car, now he was full of depression and walked very slowly.The faces of the first two fashionable girls were as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Zhang Lin was eating sweet potato leaves before he noticed that the man was wearing leather shoes and the woman was wearing high heels.

Zhang Lin: "..."

Zhang Lin picked up the bowl and walked to the side of the road, asking, "Why did you come out so quickly, did you go the wrong way?"

The man with glasses was angry, and he said, "It's the wrong way. We're not going to the top."

Zhang Lin: "Oh, where are you going?"

The man in glasses didn't reply, he sat down on a bench next to him with a painful expression on his face, the two girls didn't care about their appearance, they took off their shoes after sitting down, their feet were covered with blisters.

Zhang Lin was still holding the bowl, and couldn't eat anymore.

He put the dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen.Li Xiu'e was lighting the fire in the kitchen, and when she saw the dishes he hadn't finished, she muttered: "Yunyun, why are there leftovers?".

The words are words of complaint, but the eyes are shining with kindness.

Zhang Lin was used to it. Ever since her sister disappeared, when Li Xiu'e was not crazy, she always regarded the original owner as Jiang Xiaoyun.

When Zhang Lin went out again, the three of them had already sat down around their dining table, with several bowls of sugar water in front of them.

Jiang Jiancheng was greeting them.

When he went to the toilet and came out, the three of them had already finished eating the sugar water and drove away.

Zhang Lin walked over and asked Jiang Jiancheng, "Dad, those three people said they went the wrong way. Where did they go?"

Jiang Jiancheng shook his head: "I don't know, I didn't ask."
