"Whether it's a blind date or a relationship, there's no rush!" Tang Li wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Why rush? They're still young!"
Chen Fei tutted her tongue. "That's because he's young, not young at heart. Don't you understand at your age? A real child would be nervous when encountering something like this. Oh, what if mom finds out about my premature love? No, no, no."
"But these fake kids don't think that way. They think it's normal to fall in love at any time, completely ignoring their actual age. What if the other person was married before they traveled through time? So it's better to be careful, otherwise it will be too late to make a scene. This village is so small, and if you embarrass yourself once, people will talk about you for the rest of your life."
When we lived in the community, we didn’t have many acquaintances on a daily basis, but now that we live in the village, it’s definitely different.
"That's true." Tang Li said, "My wife is really thoughtful."
This wasn't some flattery; it was truly the case, and he hadn't even considered these details. But the thought of being stabbed in the back every time he looked up or down in the village was painful enough; no one could stand that.
Chen Fei snorted and was about to say something else when someone outside called out, "Sister Chen?"
"Hey! Here she comes!" Chen Fei went out and saw that it was Wang Cuiping from the neighborhood committee. However, since they had become familiar with each other in the past few days, everyone called her Aunt Wang.
"Auntie Wang, so early?"
"I came here because I couldn't sleep. I still have to get some serious work done." Aunt Wang, after so many years working in the neighborhood, has become a restless person. She's now infiltrated the local community and become the women's team leader of the first production team. It can be said that she's a very successful re-employment worker.
Wang Cuiping was holding a bunch of black bracelets in her hands at the moment. She had bought them online for 10 yuan, which was her own money. However, she felt that this was very important. It wasn't much money anyway. She had a lot of cash, so after traveling through time, she had more shopping balances, so she didn't feel it was hot to spend them.
"Come here, I remember there was a child in your family, right?" Wang Cuiping handed Chen Fei a bracelet: "Wear it as a symbol. You've traveled through time and space and become a child... an adult?"
Chen Fei was stunned, her face full of confusion. "Hasn't everything I bought with that system already become a red bracelet? Why do I still have to wear a black one? To hide it? Everyone wants it?"
"Haha! Sister Chen is really good at thinking. No, it's specially made for children who were in their twenties or thirties before traveling through time and have become six or seven years old or teenagers after traveling through time."
"Why is that? Don't other people use it?"
Wang Cuiping explained, "Didn't the ages of children under 12 years old return to zero? But those over 12 and under 19, while entitled to various benefits, didn't age after time travel. There were quite a few of them. Originally, this mark was intended for them, but considering their numbers were so large, we've decided to give it to those who traveled through time and became children."
Chen Fei finally understood. Neither her family nor her neighbors knew anyone of that age, so they hadn't known for a long time. She only knew that according to village statistics, children aged 12-19 before the time travel didn't age any differently afterward. Those over 40 had 20 years reduced, while those under 40 had their age randomly reduced. That was about it.
So, while taking the bracelet, he asked, "Aren't many of these children about the same age as our parents?"
"Isn't it?" Wang Cuiping said, "So this marking must be done well, to avoid messing up the generations in various matters at any time. This damn time travel, changing ages all the time, I don't know what they are thinking. I went to that family at the end of the village yesterday, and they raised their children well, the oldest one must be 11 years old. Then they time traveled and the son became the younger brother. I was so angry, and there is no place to complain. Didn't the system run away?"
This statement is rather subtle, and is actually similar to what Chen Fei and Tang Li said earlier. If you unknowingly mix up generations, it can be very troublesome. So, if people can't tell age and generation from appearances, they can use the symbol to distinguish them. Then, everyone will naturally know each other's identity and be able to maintain a more appropriate distance.
"Thank you, Aunt Wang. This does require a little more attention. We didn't think of this. Thank you for your hard work."
"What's so hard about this? It's all for the sake of harmonious relationships among families in the future." Wang Cuiping said with a smile, "We'll be holding a class on how to cook with a big pot and a big stove in the next few days. Anyone who doesn't know how to cook or light a fire can come and learn. Does your family need it?"
"I already know this, so I don't need it."
"Okay then." Wang Cuiping waved her hand: "Then I'll go to another house first."
"Okay, Aunt Wang, take care."
When Chen Fei returned home, she put the bracelet on her son directly. This thing is really important. It not only reminds the wearer and other people of their identity, but also properly reminds others how to view each other and keep a proper distance.
But this bracelet with a red strap on the left hand and a black strap on the right hand... doesn't look very good.
"Well... after all, it's a free thing. If it doesn't look good, I won't force it." Having said that, he repeated what Aunt Wang had just said in detail, and by the way, he once again emphasized the issues of distance and seniority.
