The days in summer rise exceptionally early. It was barely five o'clock when the sky was already bright. The sunlight dimly fell on the roof, and the faint sound of birdsong could be heard. The early birds catch the worms. It was quiet and peaceful. It looked like today would be another good day.
Sun Ye pushed open the door, and a gust of fresh air rushed into his nostrils. He couldn't help but close his eyes and take a deep breath. He opened his mouth and yawned, which made tears come out. He raised his head and stretched lazily, then turned his neck left and right. Two words: comfort.
He exhaled, shook his hands, brushed his teeth and washed his face, dipped the toothbrush in some tooth powder, and started washing.
Then he hurriedly ate two mouthfuls of breakfast and said to Sun's mother, "Mom, I'm leaving first."
"Well, when you go to that research institute, listen to your teacher carefully, don't touch things that you shouldn't touch, and..." Sun's mother couldn't help but give some instructions, holding a bowl and chattering behind Sun Ye.
"Mom, I understand. Don't worry."
"Mom, go back and eat."
Sun Ye waved his hand, quickened his pace, and answered loudly, "I had read these words that Sun's mother said last night while eating. I was just worried."
"The East is Red, the sun is rising, China has produced a..."
As I walked on the road, I was really excited. I picked up a few pieces of dogtail grass and shook them left and right in my hands, singing the song I learned from the tape recorder.
The more she lived, the more she went backwards. When she thought about the extremely urgent and life-or-death situations in the past, she felt a little emotional. But now, she was so excited just to help out. The human race's assimilation ability was really strong.
She did not resist, but enjoyed it.
When I arrived at the entrance of the educated youth site, I spat out the grass in my mouth. I don’t know what happened, but this foxtail grass somehow got into my mouth. I was a little confused.
Sun Ye reached out and pushed the door, but it didn't move. Good, she came early and the door of the educated youth site was still closed.
I looked around, found a corner and sat down waiting for the door to open.
With my hand supporting my chin, I stared straight at the big tree opposite. I had nothing to do and it was quite boring to be alone, so I let go of my thoughts and connected with the evergreen tree.
"Little Changqing, how old are you?"
"Twolegs? You can talk to me?"
"Don't call me Twolegs. I have a name. I'm Sun Ye. You can call me Ye Zi."
"Okay, Ye Zi, don't call me Little Changqing, my name is Wei Meng."
Sun Ye almost laughed out loud. This name was really interesting.
He barely suppressed the smile on his face, coughed, and said, "I'll call you General Mighty. It sounds better that way."
The evergreen tree agreed, and it thought it was a better name than its own, so it decided to call itself the Mighty General from now on.
"General Mighty, how old are you?"
"What do you mean?" Please forgive the mighty general for not being able to understand such elegant words.
"How old are you?" Sun Ye held her forehead. She must be drunk to ask the same question three times. Who told her to be boring? If she had known this would happen, she would have slept more at home.
"I've already lived through twenty-two years, but I don't remember how old I am."
Okay, an evergreen for twenty-two years.
"Did you encounter anything interesting?"
"Interesting things? I don't think so. This place is so remote that even bipeds don't come here to play. But a few years ago, one of them almost skinned me. It scared me."
"Skin you? Why would they skin you?"
"I don't know either. It was very dry that year. The ground was cracked. I stretched my legs underground with all my might, and only then did I touch a little bit of moist soil."
Sun Ye almost understood that it was the famine years a few years before she was born. In this regard, Sun Ye could only comfort Changqingshu and tell him that it was all in the past.
"Strangely enough, one night, a magical force suddenly covered my feet, and I suddenly came back to life. Otherwise, I would have been a pile of charcoal by now."
Sun Ye immediately perked up when he heard this and asked, "Was it the beginning of spring at midnight that night?"
"That should be the case. The two-legged beasts call that day the Beginning of Spring."
"That power saved many of our brothers and sisters. Everyone is curious about what that power is. If I could have it again, I would definitely store more of it in my body so that I could live a long, long time."
That's right! So her arrival that day gave these plants hope for life.
"You have a beautiful thought."
"Of course not, but it has never appeared again." Changqingshu was quite arrogant.
"By the way, I don't know if this is considered interesting, but you twolegs really like to hear it."
"What is it? Tell me, I'm listening."
"I'm telling you, it's the widow at the end of the village. I think her name is the widow in your Twolegs' language. She will come here secretly."
"What? Come here? What for?"
Sun Ye frowned. There was nothing to gain from the educated youth camp. She was just afraid that someone with evil hearts would follow them and report them to the town's Revolutionary Committee. If that was the case, she would have to tell the teachers to be careful and hide the banned books.
"I only saw the woman peeking out from behind me and meowing three times. A moment later, another Twolegged beast sneaked out of the door, and then the two of them walked south, talking and laughing."
"This should be fun, right?"
What happened was beyond Sun Ye's expectation. It was not what she thought. But who in the educated youth camp was involved with the widow? She had heard from her mother Sun that the widow had been married for a few years when her husband walked to the foot of the mountain without paying attention. He fell down the slope and hit his head on a rock, dying on the spot.
Without a husband and no children, the widow had to take care of her husband's bedridden mother. A young woman in her twilight years was forced to become a fierce person that no one dared to mess with. Who could understand the sadness behind it?
“………”
Sun Ye thought about it for a while, but still couldn't come up with an idea, so he simply asked, "Did you hear the woman call out the name of the person the educated youth pointed out?"
"I didn't notice that. I think he was called Brother Wu?"
Brother Wu? Could it be Grandma Guo’s grandson Guo Jianwu?
If Grandma Guo knew about this, she would probably be furious, and the entire educated youth site would be shocked.
And they were heading south after dusk, so could the two of them that Little Red Potato was talking about be them?
Sun Ye stayed where she was. Should she tell Grandma Guo about it, or just pretend she knew nothing? It was really a headache.
Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. There will always be a way when you reach the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge.
"Ye Zi, you're here so early?"
It turned out that it was Guo Jianwu who opened the gate. Sun Ye felt embarrassed to face him, so he lowered his head and said "hmm" softly.
"Come in quickly. Professor Liu told me yesterday that you were going to the research institute with us today. That's great! We finally have someone to share the burden with. Your brother Lin and I are so busy that you'll be able to relax a lot if you go."
"Brother Jianwu, is the research institute so busy?" Sun Ye could no longer call him Brother Wu without any scruples as before, and he felt uncomfortable.
"Why don't you call me Brother Wu anymore? It's so much more intimate to call me Brother Wu."
“…”
"It's the same if you call me Brother Jianwu." Sun Ye laughed and said vaguely.
"Brother Jianwu, go and do your work. You don't need to call me."
"Okay then."
Sun Yesong breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he didn't bother with the question of address. He sat down on the stone bench in the yard and lay down.
Her damn curiosity will make her never gossip with the little ones easily even if she is bored in the future. Now, gossip has caused a lot of problems.
Guo Jianwu also poured Sun Ye a cup of tea, the kind with tea leaves, not plain water.
Then he glanced around, sat on another stone bench, and said hesitantly: "Ye Zi, that's it, that's it, what do you girls usually like."
Sun Ye's heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm and asked, "Brother Jianwu, why are you asking this? Are you going to buy anything for Grandma Guo?"
"No, it's not." Guo Jianwu quickly waved his hands and said no.
"How old is the girl? Maybe we have different preferences."
"That's true. I was confused." Guo Jianwu hit his head.
Seeing Guo Jianwu's distress, Sun Ye couldn't help but say, "As for me, I like hair ornaments, beautiful clothes, such as Dacron clothes, braids, etc., as well as clam oil for face washing and delicious cakes."
Sun Ye deliberately put her favorite at the end. The ones in front should be the common preferences of most women. She usually didn't pay attention to that person and had no idea of that person's preferences.
"Really? Thank you, Ye Zi." Guo Jianwu smiled like a fool as if he had found something.
Sun Ye actually hopes that the people around him can live in harmony and be happy forever.
Guo Jianwu and that person still have a long way to go, and there will be many hardships along the way, and Grandma Guo is the first one.
Come on, Brother Jianwu.
Sun Ye silently blessed him and told him to let things take their own course. Perhaps there would be good results. She would not interrupt or say too much and would just help Brother Jianwu out with some support.
Because she vaguely knew that the man and Brother Jianwu had a predestined bond that could not be severed.
It was only then that she discovered this when she secretly looked at Guo Jianwu's aura. His aura now had changed greatly from before.
By the time Professor Liu and the others finally finished washing up and set off for the research institute, a full hour and a half had passed. Including the time she spent waiting outside the door, she arrived two hours early.
She secretly wiped away a tear of sadness, she shouldn't have left her beloved bed so early.
Before Sun Ye could think wildly, the iron door of the institute creaked open.
Sun Ye was full of anticipation, but what he saw were square pieces of land, divided into pieces with various labels inserted on them, which contained densely packed data.
When I got closer, I saw that the yard was full of various foods, such as wheat, rice, sweet potatoes, etc., all of which were used to fill the stomach.
"Leaf, don't move."
When Sun Ye heard what Professor Liu said, he quietly stopped his claws.
"Follow me here first."
Sun Ye looked over and saw that it was a big house, even bigger than the main room of her own house, and nothing could be seen from the outside.
Following Professor Liu inside, he found that there was a light bulb inside, which was very bright. It was a luxury that Sun Ye dared not imagine.
After all, her house also has a light, but Sun's mother won't let her turn it on at all, saying that it wastes electricity and is not as practical as a kerosene lamp.
Rows of white tables are filled with various instruments. Instruments that I have only read about in books are now displayed right in front of me.
Sun Ye's eyes were almost dazzled. She loved these instruments. She couldn't explain why, but at the first sight, her mind was captivated and she couldn't look away.
