Chapter 13 Lifesaver

Zhang Lin took the 160 yuan in surprise.

Except for the one her father gave her, which was a big black ten, the others were all black.

[My father and his family are really rich. They gave me pocket money in the tens of thousands even though we were only 1969 years old.]

Of course Zhang Lin would not give her pocket money like this after knowing this. After all, her aunt used to be dull and would not spend it even if given to her. This was the first time they officially gave her pocket money.

On the surface, he went back to deposit the money, but in fact, he put the money into the space. Zhang Lin also used ten points of fate to exchange for a fitness pill and swallowed it quietly.

She is still injured, and taking one pill can speed up her recovery.

If I take two pills and the wound heals immediately, that would be hard to explain.

[Hey, if I wasn’t afraid of the fillings showing, I would have eaten two directly. I can’t help it. I don’t want to be mistaken for a monster…]

Zhang Lin’s words made Zhang Guosheng and others feel distressed, but Guaiguai’s concern was right, so they could only let Guaiguai suffer a little.

When they thought of Erya who lost her life because of this, they couldn't help but feel depressed again.

After the meal, they started to clean up. Zhang Lin said he was thirsty and poured each person a glass of water with a pill in it.

I didn’t give her too much milk this time, otherwise it would be hard to explain.

As for why only one is placed...

She also wanted to do eight or ten of them and become Popeye, but was that appropriate?

You can only do it step by step, so as not to arouse suspicion. For the others, you can use the excuse of God's blessing, believe it or not.

A few people drank up the water as if they knew nothing.

Zhang Guosheng almost licked the entire cup, fearing that the medicine would be wasted.

The old man was going to borrow a bullock cart, and a few people were going to go to the town at around 1:00 p.m. There happened to be a bus in the afternoon.

Zhang Yaowen and the other two had almost finished their leave due to Erya's accident, and would have to go back to work on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.

There is no holiday during the Spring Festival now.

They had just taken leave in the third year of junior high school to come back and visit their parents, and were planning to leave after lunch, but who knew that something would happen to Erya a short while later.

I just took a few days off.

It was still early after lunch, so Zhang Guosheng carried Zhang Lin out, preparing to take Zhang Lin for a walk in the village to help digest the food and visit his friends.

The village is located halfway up a hill, built against the mountain.

Following a main road and countless small paths, mud houses appeared in front of Zhang Lin.

[The house is so shabby, much older than the one I saw at my grandmother’s house in my previous life.]

Although Zhang Lin has lived in the city since she was a child, her grandmother lives in the suburban countryside, and she often visits her during holidays.

Later, as the city expanded, my mother's hometown became a street.

But she also has an impression of the building before it was demolished.

After all, her grandmother's brigade was close to the county town. Starting in the 1990s, the brigade built more and more brick houses, even two-story small buildings, which also set off a wave of comparison.

"Guosheng, I'm helping Erya digest her food." When we reached a fork in the road, behind a very dilapidated house, an aunt in her forties or fifties was washing clothes.

"Yes, auntie, where is Erhou?"

Seeing Aunt Guihua struggling to carry the bucket, Zhang Guosheng quickly put Zhang Lin down, gave her instructions, and went over to help.

Aunt Guihua looked at Zhang Guosheng with satisfaction, and shouted into the room with a smile: "Erhou, your brother is here."

Zhang Lin thought it was funny.

At that time, conditions were poor in all aspects, and the older generation said that children should be given ugly names so that they would be easier to raise.

What monkey, dog, dog egg, second dog...

The dogs in the village can only be named Dahuang, Erhuang, Dahei, etc.

Less than ten seconds after the auntie finished speaking, a thin, dark figure suddenly appeared, giving Zhang Lin a fright.

[This is the Uncle Erhou that my father mentioned in his previous life. He is indeed as lively as a monkey...]

Zhang Lin patted his chest and looked at the two monkeys curiously.

Erhou is about 1.7 meters tall, which is not considered short in the southwest at that time, but he is very thin and dark. His parents were right in naming him.

Zhang Guosheng almost laughed out loud.

"Brother Sheng, I'm so glad Erya is okay!"

After taking a closer look at Zhang Lin, Erhou happily took out a slightly melted fruit candy from his pocket and handed it to her.

Although Zhang Lin didn't like fruit candy at all in her previous life, it was a good thing in the 1960s.

It looked like Uncle Erhou had kept the candy for many days and he was reluctant to eat it. Zhang Lin didn't reject it either. He took it, peeled it and put it into his mouth with a smile.

The second monkey was also very happy. Such a delicate little person didn't dislike him at all. She was worthy of being the sister of his countryman!

The more he looked at Zhang Lin, the more he loved her. Erhou looked at Zhang Guosheng reluctantly, "Brother Sheng, you are leaving again."

"Yeah, I heard that you're going to get married in two months. I may not be able to come back by then, so I brought you a gift in advance..."

Zhang Guosheng took out a few cloth coupons.

Erhou's family is considered to be in a relatively poor situation in the team. I heard that the girl is from the next team and her family loves her quite a bit.

Before, on the mountain, Erhou helped her. She fell in love with Erhou and insisted on marrying him, and her parents couldn't persuade her to stop.

It’s also thanks to Erhou’s good luck, otherwise it would be difficult for him to find a wife.

"That won't do!" Aunt Guihua rushed over immediately after seeing this, snatched the cloth coupons and stuffed them into Zhang Guosheng's pocket.

"Yes, Brother Sheng, this is too expensive!" Erhou was also surprised.

"It's okay, auntie. Erhou and I are good brothers. At worst, when I get married, I can just let him prepare the game for me!"

"How can this be possible..."

"Brother Sheng, I can't take it! Game is only worth a few dollars, but it's hard to get these cloth coupons!"

"Don't you recognize me as your brother? Take it now, don't talk nonsense!"

Zhang Lin was watching the quarrel with great interest, when something flashed through his mind and he was startled.

[Two monkeys...get married...wait!]

Let me think about it.

My dad said in his previous life that Uncle Erhou’s house collapsed, killing everyone except him. His arranged marriage was also called off, and he spent more than ten years in misery, always alone...

Later, when my dad went to the countryside, Second Grandpa wanted to harm him, but Second Monkey Uncle went to the countryside to visit my dad and happened to save my dad’s life!】

Zhang Lin was a little anxious.

[No, I have to find a way to remind them.

I remember it was this time, the night my dad and his friends brought my seriously injured aunt back to the city, it rained heavily again, and it washed away Uncle Erhou’s already cracked house…】

Zhang Guosheng's expression changed completely.

Erhou's family had split up a long time ago. There were five people in total. In addition to his uncle and aunt, Erhou, there were two younger brothers and sisters who were only five years old and were a pair of dragon and phoenix twins.

Erhou originally had an older brother, but something happened to him before.

His father was invited to his own house to repair the wall today.

Zhang Guosheng pretended to suddenly notice Erhou's house, walked around it, and shook his head solemnly.

"Erhou, your house can't be left like this. Two walls are cracked. The crack in the west wall between the stoves has penetrated half of the wall. If it rains heavily, it will be very dangerous."

Zhang Lin's eyes lit up. His father was indeed attentive and actually noticed it.

It seems that her father in her previous life might have reminded her, but Uncle Erhou and his family didn't care.

Sure enough, Erhou was seen scratching his head and smiling innocently, "It is a little broken. My dad said he would repair it in two days so that I can get married by then."

Zhang Guosheng frowned.

It will be too late in a few days!
