Shen An Ning thought of her small courtyard and only hoped that Sister Wang would insist on finding her and let her rest in peace.
In the blink of an eye, the scene suddenly changed. Shen Anning looked at everything in front of her and rubbed her eyes. In just a few dozen minutes, she seemed to have experienced all the fantastic things in her life.
He quickly ran to the bathroom and looked at the girl in the mirror. She was fifteen or sixteen years old. He rubbed his stiff face, went downstairs, opened the door, and then opened the yard door. Shen Anning only saw the small street.
The hilltop and the village were gone, and for some reason the small street was now tightly attached to the yard. As soon as Shen An Ning walked out of the yard, she saw the cobblestone road between the shops on both sides.
All of this is too unbelievable!
Looking closely, the courtyard wall has become farther away. The land that was previously half-circled on the left, right and back of the courtyard has now moved into the yard, and fruit trees have also been planted around the wall.
Strange things happen so often that you become accustomed to them.
Ten minutes later.
Shen An Ning finally figured out what was going on. It was the wolf-tooth-shaped jade pendant from last night. The purse and the black string were all there, but it was missing. If she guessed correctly, the pendant should be a carrier that took her back to the past. As for why the hilltop and the village disappeared, leaving only the courtyard and the street, it might be because Shen An Ning had spent money on both the courtyard and the street.
In order to compensate the Shen family, the government agreed to allocate a piece of land here for her to build a house, but she was not short of money. How could a member of the Shen family take advantage of this? In the 1990s, she paid 500,000 yuan, which was a huge sum of money. Later, the land price rose rapidly, so when the construction of the street began, she paid another 800,000 yuan. This money was exchanged for the gold bars left to her by her family.
Knowing that she was reborn and returned to a time when her family was complete, plus this baby, Shen An Ning thought that she should be able to protect her family in this life.
After experimenting several times, she finally figured out this space. The things in the street are non-renewable and will be gone after use. The things in the space itself can remain in their original state for a long time. Things brought in from outside can remain fresh in her own courtyard and two-story house, but not in other places. She can change locations by silently reciting in her mind when entering and coming out. The flow rate in the space is slower than outside, about 1:3.
There was no time to take inventory of the supplies in the space, and Shen Anning left the space. Today was the last day of March 1971, and time waits for no one.
A few months ago, my grandparents were sent down to the rural area of Northeast China. According to my grandfather's rank, he could have brought a guard with him, but he didn't want to ruin the future of the guard who had been with him for so many years. In addition, Grandma Shen's background was a bit troublesome and she had overseas connections. My grandfather was afraid that Grandma would be harmed, so he took the initiative to request that only he and Grandma go to Northeast China.
It is said that people live in cow sheds in the rural areas of Northeast China, but it is just a term. The living conditions there are just simpler, smaller houses, and worse environment, and they need to participate in basic labor. Their living conditions are much better than those of the capitalists and intellectuals who actually live in cow sheds.
In my previous life, my grandparents took off their hats and returned to the city in 1976. However, they had stayed in the Northeast for four or five years. Their nutrition was not adequate, the weather was cold, they had old injuries, and they were exhausted. This led to their passing away not long after returning to the city.
Originally, other family members were less affected, but once grandparents left, the pillar of the Shen family was moved. The emperor is far away and the sky is high. When the nest is overturned, how can the eggs remain intact?
Grandpa Shen Zhaolin is 58 years old this year. He and Grandma Yin Shiqing were engaged since childhood and got married in 1930. The Shen family is from Zhengzhou, Henan Province. Their ancestors also had high-ranking officials. However, successive revolutions and wars led to the family's decline and the loss of all their money. In the end, only Grandpa Shen was left.
The Yin family is from Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province. They are a truly wealthy family. Grandma Yin Shiqing is the youngest daughter in the family. She has two older brothers. Yin Shirong, the eldest son of the Yin family, joined the army and became a pilot. He died young, unmarried and without children.
The second son, Yin Shihua, now lives abroad and married a foreigner. When the country was in turmoil, his family arranged for him to study in France. Later, he brought his wife back to China to hold a wedding. In 1953, he took his wife and children abroad again. In the past two years, the domestic situation was not good. He tried every means to write to grandma several times, but later "cut off" contact at Grandma Shen's request.
Grandma Yin Shiqing fulfilled the promise arranged by her parents and married Grandpa Shen. After she became pregnant with my uncle, in 1931, 18-year-old Grandpa Shen joined the army and left Grandma at the Yin family, entrusting her to the care of my father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Two years after joining the army, he returned home while passing through Zhejiang on the march and stayed for two days. It was also during this time that his grandmother became pregnant with her second son, Shen's father, Shen Anning's father.
In 1935, Yin's great-grandfather and great-grandmother passed away due to illness. In 1936, Grandpa Shen, who had earned military merit, took Grandma with him to join the army and arranged for his wife and children to live in Yan'an. The family settled in Beijing after liberation.
The two elders had three children in total.
My uncle Shen Yixing followed in his father's footsteps, joined the army, and married Lin Junqi. My aunt is also considered the adopted daughter of the Shen family. Her parents were comrades-in-arms of Grandpa Shen. After they died in the Anti-Japanese War, they were adopted by the Shen family. They gave birth to my cousin Shen Anyan, who is now 22 years old and the eldest grandson in the family. He married my cousin Liu Manxue, and my little niece should be in her belly now.
Because my aunt was in poor health and my uncle was afraid of accidents, they only had my cousin as their child.
Shen's father's name is Shen Yiyuan. He married Qin Shuni and had a son, Shen Anchen, who is only 18 years old now. His eldest daughter is Shen Anning, who is 15 years old this year. His twin children, Shen Anyu and Shen Anxuan, are seven years old this year.
Aunt Shen Yipei, born in 1936, married into the Peng family, a family with many military achievements but few children. She married her uncle Peng Cheng and had two children, both of whom were Shen Anning's cousins: Peng Wei, 14, and Peng Zhe, 11.
The Peng family has been in the military for generations. My uncle's grandfather, father, and eldest brother all died on the battlefield, and they all held high positions. Now my uncle is less than 40 years old and is already the commander of an army division. This is also because of the Peng family's merits. This is why my aunt and uncle were not affected by this movement and were able to arrange for my second brother Shen Anchen to join the army.
(Because Uncle Shen and Father Shen have a very good relationship, the family uses the order of cousins to distinguish between brothers. Shen Anyan is the eldest brother, and Shen Anchen is the second brother.)
