Chapter 5: Traveling to the 1970s, a Suspicious Man



"Saya is up!"

"Saya! Sanya!"

Jiang Henian was woken up by someone pulling his eyelids.

As soon as I opened my eyes, two identical calico cat faces appeared in front of me.

"Saya! Mom asked you to cut grass and feed the pigs!"

"Also, chop all the firewood! Carry the manure to the compost pit! Lunch is ready!"

Jiang Henian slapped away the dirty little hand that was still on his eyelids and frowned in confusion: "Who is San Ya?"

The short-haired cat opened its eyes wide and shouted at the door:

"Mom! Sanya fell and became an idiot!"

The girl with pigtails also shouted: "You've become an idiot!!"

Jiang Henian was startled and moved faster than he could think. He stood up and grabbed Luobotou who was trying to run out.

The little brat's voice was shrill and thin, louder and buzzing than a thousand cicadas.

"Shut up!"

She covered her aching head and couldn't help but scold.

The two rascals immediately stopped struggling and turned to look at Jiang Henian in shock.

His voice is so loud.

Could it be that what Chou Fei said was true, and their third sister fell and broke her brain and was possessed by a ghost?

Jiang Henian took a long time to calm down before opening his eyes again.

When I saw it, I was stunned.

What came into view was a gray adobe house with walls covered with yellowed newspapers, small wooden lattice windows, two large wooden boxes against the wall, and two iron basins with red edges and white bases on top. At the end of the bed was an old wooden cabinet with red, green and colorful old bedding piled on it.

Jiang Henian looked down at his dark blue shirt, which had been washed out, and then at the attire of the two radish-headed boys.

I really traveled through time...

She let go of her hands in shock, touched her face, and then touched her body all over.

Jiang Xiaobao nudged Jiang Xiaomiao next to him and made a face:

"She's so stupid! Stupidity is contagious!"

"What should I do then!" Jiang Xiaomiao covered her face in fear.

Jiang Henian confirmed that there was nothing wrong with her, and turned her head to stare at Luobotou who was whispering loudly in front of her.

Jiang Henian sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, tossing two Xu Fuji hard candies in his palm, his eyes shining, ready to trick the child.

"I'm going to test you guys. Whoever says it right will get candy."

Jiang Xiaobao pointed with his fat finger, shocked and yelling: "How did you get the candy? Did you steal the one my mother gave me—"

He quickly covered his mouth and glanced at the confused Jiang Xiaomiao beside him with his big eyes.

Jiang Henian tore open the candy wrapper, revealing the bright red and translucent candy, and shook it.

Jiang Xiaobao immediately stopped making noises, his mouth watering. They had never seen such beautiful candy before.

The two children answered every question very actively.

"Open your mouth." Jiang Henian got the information he wanted to know and threw the candy into the two wide-open mouths.

"Don't tell anyone, or there won't be a next time."

As long as there is sugar, she is my mother. Jiang Xiaobao didn't bother to wonder why his third sister, who was usually taciturn and widowed, was different. He immediately covered his mouth and nodded heavily.

He held the sweet candy carefully in his chubby cheeks and ran away with Jiang Xiaomiao.

Jiang Henian breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back against the head of the bed, feeling the rustling sound of old newspapers on his back.

She traveled through time.

It wasn't ancient times, nor was it the end of the world, but rather the 1970s.

This place is called Huagou Village.

The original owner was also called Jiang Henian. The two radish-headed kids were twin brothers and sisters, with an older brother and two older sisters above them.

Everyone in the family went to work, and the original owner didn't go because he fell and fell into a coma.

He fell so hard that he didn't know whether he was dead or alive, but his mother still arranged a lot of work for him. The original owner's family didn't treat him well.

And this family situation...

The crooked paper-pasted wooden window was missing a corner and creaked in the wind.

Really poor.

Jiang Henian sighed deeply and rubbed two pieces of red plastic candy wrappers between his fingers.

There is definitely no such thing here, so it can't leak out.

Since we are here, we might as well make the best of it. Fortunately, I have space, so I won’t starve anyway.

At least I don’t have to worry about hiding from my debts anymore.

Jiang Henian squinted his eyes and laughed for a while, then suddenly he widened his eyes and stood up.

It's like I'm really possessed by an evil spirit.

The next second, she pounded the bed with her fists and howled silently.

Aaaaaaah my pig——!!!

My free range chicken!!!

My eggs!!!

My potatoes——!!!

The last batch of heavy supplies was still on the small bread, and there were also life-saving books still flying by express delivery in the same city. Jiang Henian threw himself on the kang and burst into tears.

"Comrade Jiang Henian."

Suddenly, a young male voice was heard outside the house.

"Jiang Henian——He Nian——"

The voice was carefully subdued and sounded furtive.

Jiang Henian frowned, wiped his face and walked out of the house in the direction of the sound, his eyes sweeping over the gray earthen brick house with few structures on it.

There was a low stone table in the messy little courtyard, a lot of dry firewood piled on the ground, and two water jars beside it.

Open the old wooden door at the entrance to the yard.

No one?

She walked out suspiciously and was about to look around when someone suddenly hugged her from behind.

Jiang Henian was shocked.

"Don't touch me!!" She struggled and banged her elbow back hard in response.

"Click", the crisp sound of bones colliding.

"ah--!"

She quickly stepped back, covering her hurt elbow, and turned around to stare warily at the strange man who was bending over and howling in pain, covering his nose.

He was wearing a gray shirt and black pants, and his pants legs and shoes were covered in dirt. He even cried out in pain while suppressing his voice.

He's sneaky and touchy, and you can tell at first glance that he's not a good person.

"Jiang Henian! Are you crazy?!"

Song Wenqing covered his nose, which was in extreme pain, and stared at Jiang Henian in disbelief and growled.
