As a river snail spirit, Tian Tian survived in the apocalypse by relying on her river snail shell. Who knew that a bomb would fall from the sky when she went out, blasting her to the 1970s.

"We'll eat it if it's given to us. Uncle Gu, you don't have to think so much. The most important thing now is for you to get your health back, and then we can talk about other things later." Song Zhenwei took the things into the house and prepared to hide them.
Since they are now being sent here, people with red armbands will come to check from time to time. Logically, it would be safest for them to eat all of these things.
But Song Zhenwei was also worried that if one day no one came to bring them food, the food the brigade gave them would not be enough for them to eat. They had to save some just in case and for future plans.
After hearing what Song Zhenwei said, Gu Xingshu sighed in frustration. Without saying anything more, he turned around and went back to work silently.
Their lives are actually very easy now. After finishing the work in the cowshed, there is not much more to do, so they can just rest.
However, Gu Xingshu is old and in poor health, so he still cannot adapt to this pace.
After Song Zhenwei hid the food, he asked Gu Xingshu to rest for a while so that he could prepare lunch.
Gu Xingshu has been taken care of by Song Zhenwei all this time. He felt embarrassed to let Song Zhenwei be busy all the time while he just watched, so he also started to help Song Zhenwei.
They have been eating the food brought to them by the unidentified kind-hearted person these days. Song Zhenwei plans to wait until Gu Xingshu recovers before eating the corn given to them by the brigade.
Tian Tian didn't know what happened after she left the cowshed. When she returned home with the basin, she saw two girls about her age playing in the yard.
Tian Tian was stunned at first, as she had never seen these two girls in the team. But the next second she realized that they were her aunt's two daughters, her two cousins, Fang Zhenzhen and Fang Zhizhi.
"Sister Zhizhi! Sister Zhenzhen!" Tian Tian happily ran in holding a big basin.
Fang Zhizhi and Fang Zhenzhen turned around and saw that Tian Tian was also very happy. Fang Zhizhi held Tian Tian's hand and said, "I like the little hairpin you gave me so much. I don't want to wear it!"
Fang Zhizhi tilted her head to show Tian Tian the hairpin that Tian Tian had given her.
"It looks good!" Tian Tian praised with a smile. Fang Zhizhi had short hair that was shiny black, and with the red strawberry hairpin, she looked lively and vivid.
"Really?" Fang Zhizhi heard Tian Tian praising her, and immediately started chattering to Tian Tian.
"Okay! You just talk too much! Didn't you see Tiantian came back with a big basin? Let's help Tiantian hang up the clothes first!" Fang Zhenzhen is the older sister and has a calmer temperament. She usually takes care of Fang Zhizhi more.
As expected, as soon as Fang Zhenzhen opened her mouth, Fang Zhizhi immediately shut up and smiled at Tiantian, "Let the two of us help you hang the clothes!"
Fang Zhizhi and Fang Zhenzhen are identical twins. Although they look exactly the same, they can be clearly distinguished by their hairstyle and personality. Fang Zhizhi has short hair that reaches her ears, while Fang Zhenzhen has two big braids that are black and thick. Her hair quality is much better than Tian Tian's, and Fang Zhenzhen's temperament is much more stable than Fang Zhizhi's.
Tian Tian washed a lot of clothes, including her own clothes, as well as those of Tian Baobao and Tian Zhuo, which were also hung out to dry.
"Are you going to stay here this time?" Tian Tian asked.
In her memory, these two cousins would stay at her house for a day or two every time they came, and she didn't know if they would stay at home for a while this time.
It’s Army Day in July, so I should be able to stay for two or three days.
"My mother is busy taking care of my grandmother this time. She may not be able to take care of my sister and me even during the holidays. So she asked us to stay at grandma's house for a while longer, until before school starts. We can stay for five days, and then she will come to pick me and my sister up!" Fang Zhizhi said.
Tian Tian was stunned. Five days?! Isn't there a three-day holiday for Army Day? How can I stay here for five days?
Tian Tian took a while to react, then she remembered that the Army Day is still a seven-day holiday. She was so envious that her saliva was about to drool. When she was in school, the Army Day holiday was only three days, and she had to adjust it, so it was only one day off. It's different now, there is no need to adjust it, and the holiday is a real holiday.
"Then Zhizhi and Zhenzhen will stay with you for a while. I will come to pick them up on the last day of vacation." Tian Lijuan said as she came out of the house and looked back.
"Just rest assured and let them live here with me. How can I stay with my granddaughter without making any noise? You don't have to come to pick them up on the day they leave. I will send them back. You have a lot of things to do over there, so you don't have to make a special trip." Old Mrs. Tian came out to see Tian Lijuan off.
"That's fine. I'll trouble you when the time comes!" After Tian Lijuan finished talking to Old Lady Tian, she turned around and saw Tian Tian, "Is Tian Tian back?"
"Auntie!" Tian Tian and Tian Lijuan greeted her.
"You two stay at your grandma's place. Be good and don't cause any trouble. When your grandma sends you home, you two must get along well with your sisters and brothers." Tian Lijuan instructed Fang Zhizhi and Fang Zhenzhen.
Although she had a holiday on Army Day, she still had to take care of her old grandmother and couldn't spare much time. Just in time, Zhizhi and Zhenzhen both clamored to come and play with Tian Tian, so she sent the two children here.
"Mom! Don't worry. I have a very good relationship with Tian Tian. I won't have any conflicts with her!" Fang Zhizhi retorted dissatisfiedly.
"Isn't this just a reminder for you? Okay, I'm leaving now. You all just stay here!" After saying goodbye to Old Lady Tian, Tian Lijuan left.
In order to welcome the arrival of Zhizhi and Zhenzhen, Grandma Tian specially put a lot of oil to fry a plate of eggs in the evening, using up the last bit of soybean oil in the house.
Although Chen Guihua was somewhat unhappy, Tian Lijuan didn't bring much home in previous years, so she didn't show her unhappiness.
After dinner, Zhizhi and Zhenzhen went to sleep in Tiantian's room. Tiantian's room was not big, so it was okay for two people, but it would be a bit crowded for three people.
Old Mrs. Tian originally wanted Zhizhi and Zhenzhen to sleep in the small room, saying that Tian Tian's room was too crowded, but the two of them didn't mind, saying that they hadn't seen Tian Tian for a long time and insisted on sleeping in the same small room with Tian Tian. In the end, Old Mrs. Tian had no choice but to take two pillows to Tian Tian's room.
Tian Tian liked these two sisters very much. Before going to bed, the three of them played and fought happily. But after going to bed, Tian Tian regretted it because it was too crowded. She was squeezed against the wall.
Moreover, she was not full at night. She had wanted to wait until late at night to eat something from the shell, but now that she lived with them, she did not dare to leave quietly, so she could only endure the hunger and go to sleep.
Even the necessary study activities before going to bed were cancelled, which made Tian Tian a little uncomfortable.
Moreover, because Tian Tian lived in a large dormitory in an orphanage when she was young, she had no private space from childhood to college. Now that she finally has her own private space, she still cares about it very much.
She turned around to look at Fang Zhizhi and Fang Zhenzhen who were sleeping soundly beside her, and sighed silently.
She had tried it in the small house before going to bed at night. The kang was too hot from cooking and it was impossible to sleep in it. The two sisters did not want to live in the spacious east room of Old Lady Tian and insisted on living in the same room with Tian Tian.
Tian Tian had no choice but to squeeze in with the two of them.
