031: What did you two do this evening?
I was busy for half the night and didn't feel tired on the yacht. But when I returned to this smelly ward, I felt physically exhausted.
They wanted to lie back in bed and rest, but the air in the ward was so polluted that they could only go to the corridor.
There happened to be a bench available in the corridor.
The two sat on the bench, and Xu Ying said:
"Baby, can you sleep on my lap for a while?"
Yu Xiaoye lay down, resting his head on Xu Ying's legs and closed his eyes.
Xu Ying held her daughter in her arms, her head leaning against the wall, and the mother and daughter slept like that.
It seemed as if I had just taken a nap when I heard Yu Jiahui standing in front of me, shouting:
"I got a scare! I thought you two were lost. When I opened my eyes, you were gone. You were sleeping here!"
Xu Ying opened his eyes, looked at the old man in front of him, and said:
"We were lost late at night, how come you just found out?"
“???” Yu Jiahui stared at Xu Ying in a daze, unable to figure out the hidden meaning of Xu Ying’s words for a long time.
After a while, I suddenly realized that something was wrong with my wife and daughter.
Xu Ying was wearing a quilted blue cloth headscarf yesterday, the kind of hat that middle-aged and elderly women in the north used to wear. She had a messy bun under the hat, and she hadn't combed her hair all winter.
At this time, the headscarf on Xu Ying's head disappeared, and the fluffy hair was gone, replaced by neat and clean short hair.
And the strange thing is that Xu Ying today seems to be a little whiter and tenderer than yesterday, and she looks at least several years younger than yesterday.
Yesterday she was dirty and looked like a sixty-year-old woman, but today she is clean and looks only fifty-five.
Yu Jiahui couldn't help but bend down and move closer, staring at Xu Ying with his big eyes.
Xu Ying felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, and said unhappily:
"What are you doing? What are you doing? Why are you looking at me? It stinks so early in the morning. Don't get so close to me."
Yu Jiahui stepped back and asked:
"Why did you cut your hair?"
At this time, Yu Xiaoye sat up from Xu Ying's legs and stretched. Yu Jiahui looked at his daughter again and found that she had also changed.
The cotton jackets and trousers on the mother and daughter were much cleaner.
"What did you two do this evening?"
The mother and daughter looked at each other and said in unison:
"It's a long story."
Yu Xiaoye laughed again and said:
"Dad, go brush your teeth quickly. I have something delicious for you."
When Yu Jiahui heard that there was something delicious to eat, his eyes lit up and he obediently went to the bathroom, dipped a cloth in toothpaste, and brushed his teeth.
Back in the ward, Yu Xiaoye quietly opened the toilet paper package he brought from the yacht and placed it in front of Yu Jiahui.
When Yu Jiahui took a look, it turned out to be sashimi!
The color of this fish fillet looks like beef, so it should be tuna.
Yu Jiahui asked in disbelief:
"Where did this come from?"
Yu Xiaoye didn't explain, but pinched a piece of fish meat with his hand and stuffed it into Yu Jiahui's mouth.
Yu Jiahui devoured the food in no time and finished a bag of sashimi in just a few bites.
After eating, Yu Xiaoye leaned close to Yu Jiahui's ear and told him about the adventure that had happened to her and her daughter.
Yu Jiahui was shocked:
“This is unscientific!”
Yu Xiaoye whispered:
"Dad, we've already traveled through time, so what's the point of talking about science? Can science allow us to travel through time?"
"Then take me there to see it, seeing is believing!"
"No, there are people everywhere in broad daylight. It's easy to be discovered. Let's wait until night when there are no people."
Yu Jiahui sighed:
"——Okay then, you must take me there tonight!"
Yu Jiahui was full of doubts and couldn't believe that his daughter actually carried a portable ocean space.
How big is the Pacific Ocean?
It’s a huge sea!
It actually became his daughter's private space?
And that luxury yacht, which cost at least several million, has also become his daughter's private yacht?
Not to mention Yu Jiahui didn't believe it, even Xu Ying, who had been to the ocean space in person last night, felt like it was an unreal dream.
But looking at my clean cotton-padded jacket and freshly cut short hair, what is there to doubt?
My daughter is right. Since you have already put it on, don’t worry about whether it is scientific or not.
The family ate some tuna. Although fish is nutritious, it cannot fill their stomachs by itself. They also need some carbohydrates to help them stay full.
So Yu Xiaoye prepared to go out and buy some cornmeal cakes and other pasta.
I had one dollar and ninety-six cents left over from yesterday, but I didn't dare spend it carelessly. I walked around outside and saw a street breakfast shop selling fried dough sticks, buns, and tofu pudding in front of the shop.
Many well-dressed office workers were coming in and out, their faces flushed and their mouths drooling with joy as they ate, which made Yu Xiaoye very envious.
When will she be able to go in and have a good meal?
Deep-fried golden and crispy dough sticks, greasy meat buns, salty and fragrant tofu pudding, sprinkled with coriander, and poured with chili oil——
Hiss——
My mouth is watering.
He touched the pitiful 1.96 yuan in his pocket, swallowed his saliva, and left the breakfast shop with reluctance.
There will be fried dough sticks, big meat buns, and tofu pudding!
Everything will be there!
I walked to another street stall and spent two taels of food coupons and two cents to buy ten steamed buns made of multi-grain flour. This was the cheapest food in the stall.
I spent another cent to buy some pickled vegetables and put them in an enamel jar, then returned to the hospital.
There were no chopsticks, so I just broke off a few branches downstairs in the hospital and used them as chopsticks.
The family ate steamed bread made of mixed grains and pickles for breakfast.
After finishing his meal, Yu Jiahui said optimistically:
"Today's breakfast is good, with pickles and fish. It's much better than yesterday. Life will get better and better in the future."
Xu Ying also felt that compared to how disheveled she was when she first arrived yesterday, she felt much happier today after taking a shower, getting her hair cut, putting on shorts, and having a meal of nutritious tuna sashimi.
But Yu Xiaoye was still thinking about the fried dough sticks, buns, and tofu pudding in the breakfast shop on the street. It would be happier if the family could have such a breakfast.
With that in mind, I started to think about the tuna, wondering if I could exchange the leftover tuna on the yacht for money.
If this happened in the future, there would be no problem in selling tuna for money.
But this was the 1970s, and people at that time didn't know what tuna was. If she took it out to others, they might not know what it was, and she couldn't explain the origin of the fish.
If you're new here, don't get yourself into trouble.
So you can only eat the tuna yourself and can't take it out.
After thinking about it, I thought about the bait I put into the sea, wondering if there would be any fish taking the bait.
If I could just happen to catch a fish that I could sell, that would be perfect.
Thinking this in my mind, I found a deserted place and quietly returned to the deck of the yacht.
When he opened his eyes, he finally saw the deep blue sea again, and Yu Xiaoye was shocked again.
