Lu Qin stood there looking left and right, his fingertips lingered on his newly styled hair for a few moments, and he sat down next to Lu Chunnong with a smile on his face. He glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, but as expected, he got no response. So he had to tilt his head to tease his nephew, and his tongue brushed against his upper palate, making a clicking sound, accompanied by an exaggerated expression.

He thought to himself, no matter which one it was, he had to coax one back, right?

Kong Dongdong was sitting obediently in his mother's arms, his chubby little hands holding the half steamed bun that Sun Laimei had specially left for him, and he was chewing it seriously. When he met his uncle's smile, he was so scared that he buried his head in his mother's arms with a click, and the force directly knocked Lu Chunnong's body to the side.

Lu Chunnong reacted quickly, holding the man steady, and picked up the steamed bun that had fallen on his clothes, and gently coaxed him, "Don't move, you'll choke."

He coaxed the child, but still didn't say a word about the culprit who caused the child to hit him.

"Mom, no!" The dark little head tried hard to get into her arms.

The little boy didn't mention anyone by name, but Lu Qin was very self-aware.

He awkwardly withdrew his half-extended hand and put his hands guiltily into his pockets.

His gaze moved around in a circle, and everyone who met his gaze glanced away.

So much so that he had a new understanding of the original body's popularity.

He had to give up his plan of coaxing people for the time being.

Zhou Laigeng waved the whip lightly, and the ox cart tilted backward and moved slowly forward.

Lu Qin twisted his butt around, found a comfortable place to sit, and then sat up straight, truly calming down to feel the customs and culture of the 1970s.

"Sun Laimei, you were discharged from the hospital today. Is your leg feeling better?"

"Okay, I feel better."

"At our age, we have to be more careful."

"Yes, yes, I've learned my lesson this time."

Lu Qin listened to their conversation and looked at the scenery along the way, his mind and soul wandering.

What was the landscape like in the 1970s?

If he had the chance to return to the modern era, he would describe it as simple, natural and original.

Simple: poor.

Natural ecology: really poor.

Undulating hills, endless fields, low houses, and simple people.

Taking in the scenes along the way and putting aside the mess left behind by his original body, he was absolutely certain that he, a young man living under the red flag of the 21st century, had really traveled back to the impoverished 1970s.

Like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, she took a close look at every scene.

The ox cart shook a little, and Lu Chunnong accidentally swayed backwards. She hurriedly used her hands to steady herself, but found a hand holding her firmly.

She slowly withdrew her hand and glanced at her brother. Zhou Guixiang's words "Your brother has grown up" rang in her ears, and she lowered her gaze.

Lu Qin was trying to sort out his mood and was staring at the hills in the distance, so he just missed it.

Sun Laimei had been paying attention to this side, and seeing the reactions of the two siblings, she was still confused. Before she could figure it out, her aunt next to her pulled her aside to chat.

There were many bumpy places along the way, and Lu Qin kept reaching out to hold on. The closer they got to the group, the less people chatted on the ox cart. He was also tired of the unchanging scenery along the way. He stared blankly at the back of his nephew's head. He had very thick hair at such a young age.

“We’re here, we’re here!”

Zhou Laigen stopped the ox cart.

"Oh, we're finally here."

Amidst the murmur of conversation, Lu Qin quickly got off the cart and carried all the packages on his shoulders.

Then he squatted in front of Sun Laimei very naturally and said, "Auntie, come up."

He had carried her for such a long distance, so Sun Laimei didn't act pretentiously. She glanced at her daughter-in-law and climbed up quickly.

Zhou Guixiang bought a lot of things, but she had put them on the ox cart early. Now she was full of bags, so she said goodbye to them and left.

Aunt Wu, who had just been chatting animatedly with Sun Laimei, nudged her daughter-in-law and gestured for her to look. "I don't think it's as bad as the rumors say. We can consider it."

"That girl is just average looking, would he be interested in her?"

"You don't understand, her family is so well-off, who would dare to despise her?"

The two walked away muttering.

After staying in the hospital for several days, Sun Laimei looked towards the chicken coop she had built herself as soon as she entered the yard, but the two old hens were nowhere to be seen.

"Chun Nong, go check if there are any eggs in the nest. I'll make you some egg custard later."

Lu Chunnong had just come out of the house with the child in his arms. When he heard this, he was about to go over when a figure had already passed by.

Lu Qin is now a hardworking little bee.

He bent down and crawled under the shed. There was a chicken coop in the corner. He looked carefully and said, "Auntie, there are six."

"Huh?" Inspector Sun Laimei stretched her neck and didn't look at them, but she was happy to have another meal. "Then pick five and keep one."

Many hens in the brigade have a bad habit. If they don't leave an egg in its original place, they won't lay it next time.

Lu Qin didn't understand this, but he obediently picked up five.

Lu Qin was so tired of eating white hen eggs in modern times that he wouldn't even think about eating them. When he did, he only ate the egg whites and not the yolks. But now, as soon as he got the eggs, he couldn't help swallowing, and he wanted to put the raw eggs in his mouth.

The world is unfair.

"Here, auntie." Lu Qin resisted the urge to look. He would just drink some hot water later. He didn't know if there was anyone as miserable as him.

Sun Laimei had not spoken as much to Lu Qin as she had on this day in the previous month.

But people like Sun Laimei are the ones who only remember food and not beatings. If others are a little bit nice to her, she will completely forget the malice they had towards her before.

The aunt and nephew huddled together, whispering about something.

Lu Chunnong went into the kitchen and quickly came out carrying a load of empty buckets.

Lu Qin had a bright smile on his face, and his deep brown eyes were like amber, just because his Aunt Sun asked him to boil eggs and eat them, and there was one for him.

When I looked up, I saw Lu Chunnong carrying a bucket of water and about to go out.

Lu Qin had come up with a lesson: avoid causing trouble, get a few cold shoulderes, and be more willing to do the work. He'd eventually win their favor. And he had already succeeded in pleasing Aunt Sun.

As long as you have thick skin, nothing in the world is difficult.

"Sister, I'll do it, I'll do it."

Lu Chunnong was so surprised that he snatched the carrying pole and bucket away from him. The big smiling face in front of him was brighter than ever.

Sun Laimei was busy all the time, cutting bamboo strips with a knife to weave baskets. Seeing that one of the siblings was always secretly looking at the other, she smiled and shook her head.

Lu Chunnong's job was taken away, so she could only come out with a broom to clean. When she approached, she saw her working, "Mom, why are you busy again? Let me help you go in and rest."

Sun Laimei sat firmly on the chair and said, "No, I'm afraid of lying down. Besides, my job is not hard."

Lu Qin walked out of the door and followed his original body's memory to the place where he fetched water.

Let me put it this way, the original body actually helped to fetch water, but every time he would only be quiet and obedient for a few days if he had something to ask for.

The Kong family is in the east, and the river is in the south, not very close.

It is winter now, and everyone is rushing to the river to fetch water.

However, not every section of the river can be used for water.

You can wash clothes downstream. There is a river beach upstream, with mulberry trees and small bamboo groves on both sides. Below the mulberry side, several large sand lakes have been dug. The water in them is clean and you can carry it back for use.

In this era, there is no or very little industrial wastewater, domestic wastewater, and domestic garbage discharged into the river, and the ecosystem is updated quickly. Therefore, when Lu Qin came to the river and saw some people drinking river water directly, it was not difficult to understand. It was just that he couldn't accept it at the moment.

It was just when we were preparing to cook dinner in the evening, and the place was full of people.

Lu Qin looked left and right, then put down his carrying pole, rolled up his trouser legs slightly, and then quietly walked to the edge of the pool, which was one of the places in the river where fish were most likely to hide. He opened his big eyes wider and wider, trying to observe whether there were any fish in the water.

He remembered a novel written by one of his cousins, in which the male or female protagonist traveled through time and space, and the protagonist could pick up meat in the mountains and catch fish in the river.

Logically speaking, he's wearing the clothes, so he's an important character after all, right?

Forget about rabbits or anything, a fish is enough.

"Hey, what do you think that kid is doing?"

"Who knows? I guess he's just being lazy. What's so good about it? There's no gold in the water."

"I guess he'll dawdle until dark again, tsk tsk."

He couldn't hold on for more than three minutes before Lu Qin closed his sore eyes and resignedly picked up the bucket and returned to the edge of the sand lake. What fish? Thinking of what had happened since he crossed over, it was enough that God didn't let him slip into the pond just now.

Why do you need a bicycle when you have two legs?

He became enlightened.

Lu Qin carried two full buckets of water and went home.

The two long legs walked very fast, overtaking several groups of aunts along the way.

After going back and forth several times, Lu Qin finally filled the big water tank at home.

After picking, he rested and moved a stool to sit next to his Aunt Sun. She was the only person in the family who was willing to talk to him, so he had to please her.

He saw Sun Laimei weaving bamboo strips together like magic, a skill that could not be seen by the naked eye. "Aunt, you are really amazing."

Sun Laimei smiled and said, "This is just the beginning. If you learn it, you can do this too."

Lu Qin was curious, "How much is a purchasing station?"

If it sells well, he might consider learning it and collect the remaining money at the same time.

"The bigger one is nine points, the smaller one is six points."

Lu Qin immediately dismissed the idea. It would take a whole day to weave a basket.

Just then, Lu Chunnong appeared and he stood up. "Aunt, I'm going to help my sister."

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, he quickly followed in, "Sister, I've picked the water."

If there were a tail at this moment, it would probably be wagging.

Lu Chunnong was a clean person, so he just wiped it casually and everything became bright.

I was preparing to cook and almost bumped into him when I turned around.

Lu Qin took a few steps back, knowing that he would cause more trouble, so he had to run to light the fire.

But the fire was not very effective. After just two or three strokes, thick smoke billowed out and violent coughing sounds were heard.

"You come out first,"

When he came out of the kitchen, Lu Qin felt that being thick-skinned was still useful. Although the first words she said to him when she got home were that she was disliked, at least she spoke to him.

Lu Qin looked left and right, and was about to go into the kitchen again, but he seemed to hear a sound in the house.

He listened carefully, suddenly thought of something, and slipped in quietly.

This room is the wedding room of his sister and brother-in-law, and there is also a man named Kong Dongdong living in it.

When he entered, his eyes fell on the bed. A small figure was curled up facing the door, and seemed to be muttering something.

Lu Qin walked closer and saw that he was holding a rabbit-shaped statue. His chubby little hands were prying the statue's hands and ears one after another, and he said in a baby voice, "Ears, hands, mouth."

When he woke up, he didn't cry or make a fuss, but held the toys his father made for him and recognized his facial features.

The little hand was resting on the toy, with two purple marks on it. It was because when the original owner was stealing money, he happened to see this little guy at the door and pushed him away out of guilt.

Afraid of scaring the child, he made slow noises as he approached.

Kong Dongdong turned around and saw the person coming. He screamed twice, dropped his toy, raised his hand, and wrinkled his face, motioning for him to look. "It hurts!"

It was the scar caused by the original body. Before, the original body stole money and happened to meet Kong Dongdong when he went out. He pushed such a young child out of guilt.

As the scapegoat for the culprit, is he afraid of himself or not? Lu Qin couldn't understand the world of children.

He remembered what his sister had done and held his hand and blew gently on it.

It looks like his small eyebrows are stretching upwards.

When he came out holding the child, Sun Laimei was surprised.

Kong Dongdong continued to complain and raised his hand to let the milk blow on it.

After blowing it several times, the pain seemed to go away. Kong Dongdong smiled. The world of children is really simple.

And that night, Lu Qin finally had something hot to eat, and also had the boiled eggs that Sun Laimei asked him to eat.

The author has something to say:

Good morning, (●—●) I was supposed to update after midnight last night, but Jinjiang kept freezing at a few minutes past midnight yesterday. I saved it more than a dozen times but couldn't publish it. I got so angry that I fell asleep on the bed... Now I get up early in the morning to update.
