Zhang Rui just wanted to buy some paper, which was only available on the black market, but not every day. Maybe he was unlucky today and there was no paper at all.
After asking, Zhang Rui bought some meat and planned to leave.
Just after taking two steps, he heard a middle-aged man coming over and saying to the young man who had always been the black market contact: "Dazhu, your wife has started a war, go back quickly!"
The contact person called Dazhu stood up immediately with a look of joy on his face.
Zhang Rui smiled and said, "Congratulations!"
"Thank you very much." With the happy event approaching, Dazhu hesitated for a moment, then took out a stack of rice paper from his cabinet: "Brother, this was reserved by someone else. I have to go back anyway, so I'll give it to you first."
Zhang Rui was immediately happy: "Thank you very much. I hope my sister-in-law will give birth to twins, so that I can have both a son and a daughter at once."
Dazhu was grinning so hard that his teeth couldn't be seen. After Zhang Rui left, he wanted to go out too. He just looked at the door and said, "What should I do?"
The middle-aged man waved his hand and said, "I won't open it for now. I can take a break for a day or two. It just so happens that there is not much stock these two days. The supply and marketing cooperative has recently received a lot of stock, and everyone is going there to buy."
"Okay." Dazhu nodded, packed up his things, hid the tunnel, locked the door and left.
A few minutes later, people wearing red armbands arrived and saw that the building was deserted.
"You said it's here!" the leader with a red armband asked coldly, staring at him intently.
Luo Gaoyuan's face turned bitter: "This... I really saw that person coming here!"
"These are all normal residential buildings. You followed us when we checked, and there was nothing. And the door is locked here. How can there be a black market?"
Luo Gaoyuan muttered something to himself.
The red armband left angrily. In order to catch the big fish, they ignored the small fish. As a result, now there are neither big fish nor small fish.
"What the hell!" Luo Gaoyuan was so embarrassed that he didn't dare to stay here any longer and could only run away quickly.
*****
After buying the meat, Zhang Rui rode his bicycle home. There were not many people on the road and he rode very fast. The cool wind blew on his body.
Suddenly he seemed to see something, slowed down the car and stopped it, and saw a piglet about the height of his calf lying on the ground.
This was not the first time. Whenever he bought something for Tianjiao, there would always be various unexpected surprises. The first time he bought cloth, he got cloth coupons. The second time... until now.
Zhang Rui picked up the piglet with a dull look on his face. Sure enough, the piglet had just died and was still warm.
After putting the piglet into the bag, Zhang Rui continued to go home, but he always felt strange in his heart, as if there was always someone helping Tianjiao to pay for the girl's living expenses?
To be honest, he got the better deal, as these things are obviously better.
Just look at how well-fed the Zhang family members are.
Today is not the weekend, Tianjiao is still in school, and when Zhang Rui gets home, it is still early. It is different with a bicycle, and the speed is obviously different.
But when Zhang Rui arrived in the village, he felt something was wrong.
The spring rice has just been planted, so the countryside will be idle for a while, but today Lanshan Village is quite lively.
There were people coming and going, as if something big had happened.
Especially when he came back, why did those people look at him in such strange ways?
"The third brother is back, go home quickly." An aunt said with a complicated expression.
Another eldest brother shouted, "Third brother, if there are any difficulties at home, tell us."
"Don't ride the bike, push it back. It will be painful if you fall down."
Zhang Rui looked confused: "Aunt, brother, what's going on?"
But the crowd refused to say, “You will know when you go back.”
I felt inexplicably uneasy, especially since those people didn't smile much but looked more worried.
Zhang Rui did not get out of the car, but ran back at a faster speed.
Before I reached the door, I saw an obviously military vehicle next to the yard.
Olive green, the same color as Tianjiao’s favorite dress.
military?
…
Zhang Rui's legs went weak and he almost fell off the car. Then he understood what those aunts meant, "Brother!"
Having not seen each other for nearly twenty years, Zhang Rui almost forgot that he had this elder brother. It's not that he didn't care about him, but there were too many things in front of him. Not seeing his elder brother for nearly twenty years has been put far behind, and his memory has become vague.
He got out of the car in a hurry, rushed over, and saw his mother's red eyes.
Seeing him coming back, Li Mizhen rubbed her eyes and whispered, "Your elder brother is back and he's inside. Go check him out."
After saying that, Li Mizhen rushed into the kitchen.
Soon a burst of crying was heard.
Zhang Rui's heart was pounding and his throat was dry from nervousness and fear.
Why does this reaction seem a little bad?
He prepared for the worst and opened the door.
The room where the eldest brother stays is Tianjiao's room. The lighting in this room is better than other rooms.
As soon as he entered, he saw an olive green room with several people in military uniforms standing inside. His eldest brother was lying on the bed with his lower body wrapped in thick bandages, so his original shape could not be seen.
The man looked somewhat similar to the one in his memory, but completely different. His face was weak and haggard, as if he had suffered a lot of torture, his cheeks were thin and weak.
There were two different figures standing beside the bed.
A woman in her twenties, wearing a sky blue dress, was quite pretty.
The other one was a little girl who was a little older than Tianjiao. She was fair and clean-looking. Maybe all beautiful people were the same. Her cheeks seemed similar to Tianjiao's, which made him feel inexplicably familiar and close. She had big eyes, a small mouth, and looked very quiet.
"Third brother?" the man on the bed called out hoarsely.
Zhang Rui's stunned expression finally moved, his eyes reddened: "Brother!"
Zhang Dong pulled the corner of his mouth: "You have grown up so much. I heard from mom that you have a daughter. Is she in school?"
Zhang Rui nodded vigorously: "Yes, I'm in school. It just so happens that today is Friday, so I'll be out of school in the afternoon." His eyes fell on his legs with red eyes: "What's going on?"
The atmosphere in the room suddenly gathered. A man who looked like a leader stood up and saluted in a standard military salute: "Comrade Zhang Rui, this is what happened..."
The man patiently recounted the whole story.
After joining the army for several years, Zhang Dong performed outstandingly and was selected into the special forces. He then underwent secret training. Due to his special circumstances, he was unable to contact his family. Over the years, he could only send money back on time.
However, some time ago, Zhang Dong was injured while performing a mission. Both of his legs suffered irreversible injuries and could not be recovered in a short period of time. Even if he recovered in the future, he would not be able to do his previous work. Therefore, Zhang Dong chose to retire.
If he retires from the army in his situation, he will receive a large sum of compensation, but he will no longer have a job in the future.
The two girls here are Zhang Dong’s daughter and Zhang Dong’s sister-in-law. Zhang Dong’s wife was also a soldier and had died.
After everything was said, Zhang Rui saw the military etiquette. All the soldiers here stood up and saluted him, and earnestly asked him: "Comrade Zhang Rui, we once again affirm that you have taken good care of Comrade Zhang Dong and the child. Our entire army is grateful to you."
Zhang Rui waved his hands repeatedly, feeling a little dazed.
The elder brother whom he always thought might be sacrificed was actually going to do something great.
Have a daughter?
He slowly looked at the little girl. The thirteen-year-old girl smiled shyly at him and called sweetly, "Uncle."
Zhang Rui nodded dryly: "Ah."
****
The school ends at 4:30 p.m. Today, Friday, school ends an hour earlier so that students who live far away can get home before dark.
Tianjiao is now a high school student. Because the school is far away, she lives on the campus. With the policy change, various schools have opened. After everything got on track, she applied to skip a grade. Under Song Zhen's guidance, her learning progress is no longer comparable to that of students of the same grade, so the skipping of grades was natural and smooth.
She would jump almost every year, and it went straight to the first year of high school. If it weren’t for the fact that she was too young and Zhang Rui had strongly stopped her, Tianjiao felt that she would still jump.
Zhang Rui refused because he was worried that she would have no friends because of her age.
But this worry is unnecessary.
Tianjiao is very likable almost wherever she goes, especially since she is now in the first year of high school. However, most of the first year high school students are 17 or 18 years old. Seeing a 12-year-old girl sitting next to them, who is also very pretty and delicate, makes them like her very much.
I often bring some delicious food for her on weekdays.
And every time I brought something to Tianjiao, all kinds of good things would happen at home. They were not big things, just maybe a long-lost pen was suddenly found? It could also be that when I was buying groceries, someone I knew gave me a little more, or it could be that...
But these little things actually make their lives better. When people are happy, they will naturally have good luck, so everyone likes to bring food to Tianjiao more.
As a result, Tianjiao came back once a week, but not only did he not lose weight, he even gained weight.
This time, as usual, Tianjiao stood at the door waiting for his father to come.
The day of going home is always something people look forward to, and students all rush outside.
As soon as she arrived at the school gate, she began to look around.
Probably because of something going on today, Zhang Rui's father seemed to be a little late.
"Jiaojiao, your dad hasn't come yet?" The classmate was delayed in school for a while. When he came out, Tianjiao was still standing at the door. He asked worriedly, "Do you want me to wait with you?"
Tianjiao shook his head: "It's okay, I'll wait here, it's okay."
"Okay, then, if you have any problem, just find the teacher." The classmate gave the instructions and left.
It’s very safe at the school gate.
Tianjiao waved at her and waited for the people to leave. Looking at the decreasing number of people at the school gate, he pouted angrily, "Why hasn't Dad come yet?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a familiar figure and she immediately jumped up: "Dad, here!"
…
The students who had not left yet heard the sound and looked over, and immediately a look of envy appeared on their faces. At this time, bicycles were not available everywhere.
Even among people living in the county town, there aren't many bicycles.
Zhang Rui quickly came over to stop the car, wiped his sweat and apologized: "I'm sorry, Jiaojiao, something happened at home today, Dad came late."
Tianjiao hugged him with a smile, not clinging to him like when they were little, after all, he had grown up a lot. She shook her head sweetly: "It's okay, Dad, let's go back."
Zhang Rui nodded: "Okay, sit down."
Tianjiao sat in the back seat, looking at the familiar figure. Even in the early autumn weather, his back was still wet with sweat, which showed how hurriedly he came.
She blinked in confusion. It seemed that Zhang Rui’s father was in a bad mood today?
She pulled Zhang Rui's clothes and asked softly, "Dad, are you in a bad mood?"
Zhang Rui did not hide it from her and said in a deep voice: "Your uncle is back."
Tianjiao was puzzled: "That's a good thing!"
"There's something wrong with his legs. They may never heal. Even if they heal, it will be difficult for him to walk normally..." Zhang Rui's voice became even lower.
In the early years, the family lived on the allowance sent back by Zhang Dong. They were all farmers and had no way to save money. He was still young at that time and did not dare to go to the black market. There was a time when the family was so poor that the family almost died.
It was all thanks to the allowance Zhang Dong sent back every year that helped them get through the difficult times and enabled him to go to school and work as a carpenter.
As a result, now, even when he is not showing up, he is always helping the eldest brother in the family when things go wrong!
How could he be in a good mood?
To say that the feelings are very deep, that's not the case, but he is a human being and he is grateful. Besides, he is still emotional. Now that he has become like this, he still feels uncomfortable and sad for him.
Tianjiao didn’t know what to say. They hadn’t seen each other for almost twenty years, and when they met again, they found each other like this.
She thought about it and said seriously: "Don't worry, Dad, uncle will get better."
With these simple words, Zhang Rui's mood strangely improved. It was as if what Tianjiao said would come true. He said, "Yeah, it will be fine."
Tianjiao patted him on the back: "If we are in a good mood, everything will be fine."
Zhang Ruisi subconsciously thought positively. Yes, his elder brother came back and brought his little niece with him. He said, "Jiaojiao, your uncle also has a daughter, who is also very beautiful and one year older than you."
Tianjiao was not as happy as he thought, but fell silent.
Zhang Rui didn't hear the voice, and asked in confusion: "Did Jiaojiao not hear it? Dad said you have a sister."
Tianjiao knocked his forehead against his back: "Jiaojiao heard it."
Just as Zhang Rui was about to laugh, he heard a muffled voice behind him asking, "Dad, do you still like Jiaojiao the most?"
Before, she was the only one in the family. Her father liked her, as did her grandparents and Dabao. Now there is another one, and her father said she is very beautiful. What makes her feel most threatened is that this girl is her uncle's biological daughter.
In this comparison, she seems to have no advantage at all.
Tianjiao was depressed.
…
Zhang Rui quickly stopped the car. This was a big deal. It was the first time his girl had spoken like this. He had to take it seriously and not let her fragile little heart get hurt.
Tianjiao originally rested her forehead on his back, but when he got out of the car, she immediately sat up straight, holding the seat with both hands, and looked at him suspiciously.
Zhang Rui parked the car and did not let her get out. Instead, he poked her face in a feigned anger and said, "What do you think? That's your uncle's daughter. Naturally, your uncle likes her the most. You are my daughter, so who do I like the most?"
Tianjiao pursed his lips and smiled happily: "I like you the most!"
Zhang Rui: "Yes! I am definitely the one who likes you the most. As for your grandparents, it's not certain. They all like you very much and treat you the same. It's just that your uncle and his family have just returned, and your uncle has had an accident. At first, they may care more about your uncle's daughter. After a while, they will all be the same. Don't think too much, okay?"
Tianjiao's happy little feet were swinging, holding his big hand: "Hehe, I get it, Dad."
Zhang Rui pinched her face and looked left and right, confirming that everything was fine, and then he started riding again: "Be good, if you want anything, just tell daddy, don't worry, daddy must love you the most!"
"Yeah!" Tianjiao was completely relieved.
Zhang Rui continued, "I bought you some meat today, and on the way back, I picked up a piglet. Let's roast it tonight."
"Okay!" Tianjiao said cheerfully, "I want to eat the pig's trotters!"
"Okay, I'll give you two of the four pig's trotters."
“Dad is so nice!”
****
When she saw Zhang Dong, Tianjiao still felt a little repulsive. After all, a stranger suddenly appeared in this home that she had been familiar with for six years, and he was such an important person.
But when she really met him, she found that her uncle was just as gentle and generous as the other members of the Zhang family.
Zhang Dong was lying on the bed, his face not looking good, but when he looked at people, there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. He had dark skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He should have looked a little fierce, but this look made him seem a little soft, which was unexpectedly comfortable.
Tianjiao was brought slowly to him by Zhang Rui. The twelve-year-old girl could be called a little girl. Her body was not fully developed, but compared with the chubby child six years ago, she had lost a lot of weight. Her beautiful oval face was taking shape, but her facial features were still so beautiful, with big, twinkling eyes and a red little mouth, as if there was a layer of natural lip balm.
Her skin was also fair, and as soon as she entered this somewhat dim house, the people inside suddenly felt their eyes brightened.
Zhang Rui looked at his eldest brother with some pride. He glanced at the girl next to his eldest brother without leaving any trace. When he first saw her in the morning, he thought she was similar to his own daughter. Now that he really compared her, he unexpectedly found that his own daughter's appearance was beyond words. He coughed lightly and said, "Jiaojiao, call me uncle."
Tianjiao smiled shyly: "Uncle."
Zhang Dong smiled and nodded: "Good boy, I'm sorry that uncle has occupied your room."
Tianjiao hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, there is another room."
Zhang Dong's smile deepened as he looked at his daughter: "This is your sister, Zhang Yanran. Yanran, this is your sister Zhang Tianjiao. You two should get along well with each other in the future."
Zhang Yanran took a step forward, smiled and nodded: "Yes, we will."
Tianjiao blinked and looked at her. She didn't recognize the face, but the name sounded very familiar.
She was a little dazed, and just then a young woman came in from outside. The woman was pretty and fair, and looked to be in her twenties. Her eyes and eyebrows looked somewhat gentle, but she always gave people a weird feeling.
She turned around and met the woman's eyes. She could clearly see the surprise, confusion and deep inquiry in her eyes.
"This is Jiaojiao, she is really good-looking." The woman smiled, wiped the dirt on her handkerchief, and came over to wipe Zhang Dong's hands: "Auntie said that dinner will be ready soon."
"Yeah." Zhang Dong was obviously used to being treated this way. He nodded calmly and said to the two girls, "You two should go out and play. The smell of medicine is strong here."
In fact, there was not much medicinal smell, but since he said so, the two of them did it anyway.
Zhang Yanran pulled her tentatively, and when she saw that she didn't resist, she smiled, and the two of them went out.
Tianjiao was still a little dazed. She walked out of the door and a cool breeze blew, making her shiver. Then she realized that she was sweating?
There was no heat in the early autumn evening, only full coolness. The wind was naturally cool as well. When the cold sweat was blown away by the wind, she felt so cold that she sneezed several times.
Zhang Yanran asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you? Are you cold? Why don't you put on more clothes?"
Tianjiao shook his head and asked in a low voice: "Sister, what is your uncle's name?"
Zhang Yanran: "Zhang Dong."
Very good, this also sounds familiar. The first time she heard it, it was just Zhang Rui saying it casually, and she also listened casually and didn’t think anything of it. But when the names Zhang Dong and Zhang Yanran are put together, it doesn’t seem right.
She felt something was wrong, but couldn't remember what was wrong, so she asked again: "What about that person just now?"
Zhang Yanran pursed her lips, a strange and complicated look flashed across her eyes: "She is my aunt Xu Qiu."
This name sounded familiar to her, but she just felt that it shouldn't appear here?
After thinking for a long time, I got a headache.
Suddenly, a pair of invisible hands appeared and carefully rubbed her temples, and a warm current slowly flowed from the hands into her head.
It was as if something was about to break out of the ground.
Almost there, almost there...
"It's time for dinner!" Dabao shouted loudly, successfully waking up Tianjiao who was in a daze. She turned around and saw Dabao grinning and making faces at her: "Sister, how can you fall asleep while standing here?"
Tianjiao, whose thoughts were disrupted and who was particularly irritated, sneered and approached him: "Come, I will teach you."
"Ah! Help!" screams rang out in the yard.
Zhang Yanran stood on the steps and watched the two of them playing, with some envy in her eyes, but more of confusion. She traveled to this twentieth century, was born in the year Liusi, and should have died at birth, but unexpectedly survived and became this person.
Because of her parents' special jobs, she grew up in a military school and had no contact with the outside world, but in fact she knew everything.
People were still quite poor in that era. There was even a famine before she was born. Then there was a ten-year special period, which was about to end. The college entrance examination would be resumed this winter, and restrictions on self-employed individuals would soon be changed, so she could start doing big business. When she was about to lobby her father to retire from the army, her father's legs were crippled.
She was a little confused and didn't know what to do in the future. She was an adult and naturally thought more. She couldn't laugh and play like these two children.
After a while, Li Mizhen really announced that it was time to eat, and the brother and sister stopped fighting. Tianjiao took Dabao to eat.
Dabao is now over seven years old and has just started primary school. He also changed his name to Zhang Tianheng, which is taken from the character "Tian" in Tianjiao.
During this year, he would be taken to his parents' place to stay for one day every month, but he didn't like it there. It was dirty, had nothing there, and was not tidy at all. He would occasionally go there to visit on weekdays, but after he became a little more sensible, he never stayed overnight.
It is worth mentioning that two months ago, Ding Yushu finally became pregnant.
Of course Dabao doesn't care at all, he has already got enough. As for his mother, in her heart, whether there is a second child or not, he will never be the most important.
Even after having a second child, she definitely still likes herself more.
…
After dinner, Tianjiao quickly winked at Zhang Rui and went to the cowshed.
Zhang Rui was busy tidying up the house.
With three more people in the house, we have to tidy up the other room as soon as possible.
His room was given to Tianjiao and the two girls, and he slept in the room cleared out from the utility room so that it would be convenient for him to take care of his elder brother.
Tianjiao slipped away quietly while everyone was chatting.
After not seeing each other for five days, she became impatient and ran away with her little schoolbag.
The cowshed is still the same cowshed, but a small house has been built next to it. It is not big, but more than enough for two people to live in. There is also a main room, and the house is fully equipped with tables, chairs, benches and everything else.
These were all done by Zhang Rui. In the past few years, Zhang Rui had not done any other work because things were going well. His carpentry skills also became very good through his own exploration and constant practice. He also secretly did some small business in private. In fact, the family still had a lot of money.
Of course, their wealth is not shown off. At this time when everyone is poor, their family’s wealth naturally cannot be displayed, and they still seem to live a similar life to everyone else.
But in private, he is very good. For example, the backpack Tianjiao carries on his back was specially bought at a department store for thirty yuan. It is of good quality and beautiful style. The color is pink green, which is very suitable for girls.
She took out her schoolbag and quickly went to the cowshed.
Everyone was in the cowshed. The thirteen-year-old Xiao He had grown into a teenager, but he was still as thin as ever. He ate a lot but still didn't gain weight. Grandpa Song said that he had a problem with his stomach and intestines, which resulted in him not being able to absorb much no matter how much he ate, and naturally he couldn't gain weight.
As Tianjiao walked in, he took a quick look and saw the eyes of the three people sitting there lit up.
"Jiaojiao is here. Come over here so I can check on you. Have you finished your homework for this week?" Song Zhen waved to her.
Tianjiao smiled proudly, opened her schoolbag, and took out a folded piece of rice paper. Due to limited conditions, she could only paint in ink.
The rice paper has been folded, which affects its appearance, but after it is unfolded, the painting on it can still be clearly seen.
The houses and trees seem to be covered in a layer of smoke, and the details are well handled. At a glance, they are eye-catching and have their own little characteristics. For example, in the expressions of the characters, even if the person is very small, you can still tell at a glance whether he is crying, laughing or calm.
After reading it, Song Zhen nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, I didn't slack off."
Tianjiao smiled happily, with a bit of shyness on her pretty face like a young girl: "Master, uncle, I brought you some food, let me see..."
However, even though she was mentally prepared, she still felt a pain in her heart when she opened her schoolbag. She bought a lot of food, but now only one third was left.
She took them out with a wooden face, feeling quite depressed. She really didn't notice when these things disappeared.
But it's been so long, she should be used to it.
Song Zhen and Old Man Li knew that she always lost things for unknown reasons, but they didn't care about it. They ate each piece of cake with relish.
Xiao He no longer likes to eat these things. He usually only eats some staple foods. He can't absorb them anyway, so he might as well eat the most nutritious ones and not eat the rest to avoid waste.
As soon as Tianjiao came in, his eyes fell on her. Xiao He curved his lips and handed the notebook in front of him to her.
The young boy has handsome eyebrows and eyes, and is no longer the same as before. His facial features on his pretty face are more three-dimensional, making him particularly handsome.
Xiao He rarely went out to work on weekdays, so his skin was very fair and tender. When he was occasionally seen by the old people in the village, they couldn't help but shake their heads and mutter: He looks like Xu.
The woman who had gone mad and disappeared long ago.
At this moment, the young boy looked at her seriously, with the same persistence as when he was a child, but the look in his eyes was different from when he was a child, and it had another kind of lethality.
Tianjiao lowered his eyes and smiled immediately: "Xiao He, you are amazing! You made so much money again today!"
Xiao He did not go to school. His condition prevented him from being like a normal person. It took a lot of patience for ordinary people to interact with him. The reason why Old Man Li was able to communicate with him quickly and normally was because he was too interested in learning. At that time, his mind was ignorant, and only learning could make him alienated and clear about everything. Therefore, when someone was willing to teach him, he agreed immediately, even without caring about anything else.
Over the years, the few of them have become like family, especially Xiao He, who almost depends on these two grandfathers for survival.
Therefore, Old Man Li taught him everything he had learned and felt in his life.
After Xiao He learned it, he started doing business. He couldn't speak yet, and because of this, many people didn't guard against him. Things that were thought to be difficult for him turned out to be surprisingly easy for him to do.
Just communicate with people casually, and you can take back all the unwanted garbage. If you come across something good, you can sell it and make some money immediately.
His way of communicating is writing.
The notebook that Tianjiao was shown at this time recorded what he had done and how much money he had earned in the past week.
Hearing Tianjiao's praise, Xiao He's eyes curved and he looked very happy. He took out a bracelet from his pocket and put it on Tianjiao's hand.
The bracelet is silver and the workmanship is quite exquisite. It is a pretty good item for this small place, but this also means that the price is also good.
As a poor girl who could not carry more than five dollars on her, Tianjiao was immediately happy and distressed: "Is it for me? It's expensive, right?" However, as she spoke, she kept looking at the bracelet in her hand, and the corners of her mouth that were not closed showed her thoughts.
She looked very pretty when she smiled. The flesh on her face was squeezed together, making her cheeks look chubby. Her skin was white and tender, and her body seemed to be glowing. Xiao He stared at her blankly, his reaction was a beat slow. He nodded slowly, and then shook his head.
Tianjiao smiled and stretched out his hand: "Bring it to me."
Xiao He's smile deepened and he hurriedly put it on her carefully.
The wrist in front of him was white and slender, as if it would break if bent. Xiao He's movements were even gentler, and he accidentally touched her warm skin. Her face turned red, and a hint of shyness flashed in her eyes, but her eyes were full of sweetness.
Tianjiao held his chin with his other hand and watched the action of putting on the bracelet for himself.
…
The two old men sat opposite each other, looking at the scene in front of them that seemed to be filled with pink bubbles, grimacing with a sour look on their faces, but they did not disturb them and just waited quietly.
They felt happy in their hearts. It would be great if the two children they were looking after could really be together.
Especially old man Li, he has long regarded this child as his own grandson. It is obvious that this child is unwilling to communicate normally with anyone except Tianjiao. Even for them, they only communicate for learning. What will they do in the future?
After putting on the bracelet, the silver bracelet looked even more dazzling on the flawless white wrist. Tianjiao happily waved his hand in front of the two grandfathers: "Does it look good? Does it look good?"
"It looks good!" Song Zhen nodded repeatedly.
Old man Li also nodded, but he didn't forget to say sourly: "It looks good, but it's a pity that the apprentice I taught doesn't have a gift himself. I'm sad..."
Old man Li was just being jealous. He was already so old and just hoped that his abilities would not be wasted. He didn't care about external things.
But Xiao He took it seriously. He frowned, especially when Tianjiao looked at him, his brows looked like they could pinch a fly to death.
Tianjiao blinked: "What's wrong?"
He pursed his lips, lowered his head, and wrote seriously with a pen and a notebook: [You can't wear it for the time being, so I bought you some food. 】
Old man Li saw it and laughed: "Master, it's your fault. I forgot you bought us so many delicious foods."
After saying this, Xiao He's brows relaxed and he glanced at Tianjiao.
Tianjiao rubbed his head as he did when they were little: "Great, Xiao He is getting better and better."
Xiao He rubbed her palm with satisfaction. The handsome young boy who had just taken shape was like a cat.
****
At night, everything is quiet.
Tianjiao lay on the new bed.
Next to her was Zhang Yanran, and on the other side of Zhang Yanran was her aunt Xu Qiu. The room was very quiet. She kept her eyes open, not knowing what she was thinking. She fell into a deep sleep only when everyone fell asleep.
This sleep completed the dream that I hadn’t finished last time.
In her dream, the world is set several decades in the future, when technology has developed very well and people are paying more attention to spiritual needs.
What she likes most is that it is used for leisure and entertainment, which is very good in this tiring world.
It was just in her dream that she read a book called: "A Time Travel Through the Sixties", which tells the story of a girl who traveled through time to the sixties and grew up from a young age. During the process of growing up, she would gain a lot and get a love that she could not find in the fast-paced society.
In this story, the heroine's name is: Zhang Yanran.
She originally lived in the military area and had a childhood sweetheart with whom she had a deep affection. However, when she was thirteen, her father Zhang Dong had an accident and returned to his hometown, and she was separated from her childhood sweetheart.
During this period, she relied on her modern abilities and predictions for the future and began to study hard. The college entrance examination was resumed that year, and the policy on individual businesses was relaxed the following year, so she started a business in cooperation with her uncle.
Zhang Yanran is really good at business acumen and has a keen sense of future policies. She made her fortune very smoothly and was already worth countless when she was in college.
Her uncle Zhang Rui, who worked with her, also became a wealthy tycoon.
Moreover, during the few years she spent in the village, she taught two elderly people who had been demoted to their village to be rehabilitated. One was Song Zhen, a master in the traditional Chinese painting world who could sell his paintings at sky-high prices, and the other was Li Mu, a tycoon who could turn stones into gold.
So the road ahead will be smoother.
There is just one thing. When she first came here and was still young, she helped a boy of similar age. When the boy was about to be beaten to death, she sent him to the hospital. From then on, the boy fell in love with her at first sight and fell in love with her again.
And this young man is Xiao He.
The author describes Xiao He in great detail, probably because he likes this character very much. He has a miserable life, and his early experiences have made him autistic, but he has outstanding talents in some aspects, especially with numbers.
After that, the boy unexpectedly came out of his autistic state and began to rise. Zhang Yanran also helped him once or twice, but they seldom met after that. When she reunited with her childhood sweetheart through college and they were about to understand each other, Xiao He came out to make trouble.
He fell in love with Zhang Yanran, so naturally he would not let her marry anyone else, so he made all kinds of trouble. Emotionally, because of his interference, the relationship between the hero and heroine developed rapidly. However, the consequence of the author liking this character too much was that he could not control himself.
The villain's career developed too fast and became too powerful, resulting in the heroine and the hero not even being his match, and they were almost wiped out.
In the end, the author still forced a story and made Xiao He's autism break out, and he committed suicide after being rejected by the heroine again.
The book ends here.
