"Okay," the driver agreed. He was going to the county town to pick up fertilizer anyway, and it was on his way.

However, just as they lifted Grandma Lin up, she suddenly opened her eyes, and the two of them were so frightened that they immediately let go.

"Oh no, it's come back to life!" the tractor driver exclaimed.

Grandma Lin fell to the ground again, but this time she didn't faint; instead, she sat up on her own.

"What do you mean by 'exploding a corpse'? You're the one who's come back to life! Your whole family is a bunch of zombies!"

She patted the dust off her clothes and suddenly realized she was in an unfamiliar place. Her eyes rolled around a few times as she looked around, then looked at the brigade leader and the tractor driver in front of her with surprise.

"What's going on? Where am I? How did I get here?" Wasn't she frying tofu at home?

She didn't recognize this place, nor did she seem to recognize the two people in front of her.

When the captain saw that he no longer seemed crazy and didn't recognize him, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Auntie, Aunt Lin. Don't you recognize me? I'm Zhengting and Qingyan's uncle, and I'm the brigade leader of this brigade. You just came to our house. You wanted to eat our rabbit."

As Grandma Lin listened to his words, her brows furrowed even more deeply.

"What does it matter to me who your uncle is? He's not my uncle anyway. You, you say you're the brigade leader here, and I want to eat your rabbit. Nonsense, my home is in Changning City. I was just at home frying tofu for my daughter. No way, I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going home, otherwise the tofu will burn."

The captain sighed, thinking that Granny Lin had recovered from her madness, but she was still the same.

"This old lady doesn't seem to have gotten any smarter."

However, Changning City is not far from here.

Grandma Lin stood up, looked around, and remained bewildered.

She doesn't know the way around here, how is she going to get home?

The captain caught up with her: "Auntie, are you out of your mind?"

"You're the one who's mentally unstable, your whole family..."

“Everyone in my family is perfectly mentally sound.” The team leader was embarrassed, but the old lady became even more sarcastic.

Seeing that Grandma Lin didn't seem to be injured, the tractor driver came over and asked the team leader, "She really did hitch a ride on my vehicle. She's alright now, can I go?"

The captain waved to her: "Let's go, let's go."

The tractor driver, as if granted a pardon, quickly picked up the crank, cranked the tractor to start, sat in the driver's seat, and slammed on the accelerator. The tractor sped away at a speed that was about to take off.

Not knowing how to get home, Grandma Lin asked the brigade leader, "Could you take me home?"

"Auntie, your family will be here to pick you up soon, just wait a little longer."

"They're coming to pick me up? Okay, I'll wait for them to come." But then she thought, wait a minute, her husband and son are fighting abroad, her daughter is missing, and her daughter-in-law is raising three grandchildren alone. Who would come to pick her up?

She told the captain, "No one in my family can come to pick me up. My husband and son have gone to fight on the other side of the Yabo River. There is only my daughter-in-law at home with three children. She can't pick me up."

"Fight? Fight?" The captain concluded that she had regained her memory, but had forgotten what happened during her amnesia. Her current memory was the memory she had before her amnesia.

“Auntie, what you’re talking about happened twenty years ago. The war was over long ago.”

“It’s over! Zhentian and Bonian should be back by now. What will they do if they find out about Lianxin?” She suddenly started crying again. “Waaah, Lianxin, I’m so sorry. I didn’t take good care of you. Lianxin, my daughter.”

After a while, the captain said, "Auntie, don't be sad. That war ended a long time ago. It's 1972 now, almost twenty years ago."

"1972, not 1952? It's been so long already."

There was a small river not far away, so he quickly ran to the riverbank and looked at his reflection in the water.

Sure enough, she had become an old woman with gray hair.

It turns out that so much time has really passed.

How many things have happened over the years?

The captain walked over, and she asked him, "Tell me, when and how did I get here?"

"Auntie, come home with me first, we can talk as we walk."

"good."

Grandma Lin finally calmed down and went home with the brigade leader.

“Auntie, when you first came here, you were mostly in contact with dogs. People generally couldn’t get close to you, so we all called you Granny Dog.”

"You're the dog of a mother-in-law, your whole family... oh, go on."

"Later, a young educated youth came to the brigade. Her name was Lin Qingyan."

"Qingyan!"

"Yes, Auntie, you remembered."

"No."

The captain was a little discouraged. "It's okay, I'll keep talking to you. Maybe you'll remember in a little while. Or, when she and Zheng Ting come, you'll remember when you see them."

After you met Qingyan, you lived with her. You usually didn't like to call her by her name and always called her "girl".

"Girl!"
