Qin Jianye said to his two nieces, "Study hard and try to get into junior high school in the summer and technical secondary school in two years.
As long as you can do this, I promise you will marry into the city."
A carrot fell in front of them, and an unprecedented light burst out in Daya and Erya's eyes.
While waiting for the early morning to arrive, the two took out their textbooks and studied hard under the dim oil lamp.
Chen Yunwei was just about to say, "There's no need to work so hard, it's New Year's Day," when she saw her daughter coming over with two lit candles.
The main room became brighter, but Qin Zheng and Qin Rong felt unhappy.
They are both nephews and nieces, so why does the third uncle favor the second wife so much?
Qin Jianye noticed his two nephews' thoughts and sighed, "You two don't want to study, and your uncle is helpless.
As for work, there are so many young people in the city. Without the right time, place and people, it is impossible to find a job. As for a wife, why would I marry a city girl?
We country folks are supposed to farm, and city girls can't stand this kind of hardship."
Qin Jianye's words left the two speechless. Qin Zheng and Qin Rong wanted to go into the city, but they had to admit that their uncle was right.
Chen Yunwei stood up to lighten the mood. "Hey, why are you in such a hurry? It's just about getting into the city. If you can't get in in three to five years, ten to twenty years will be fine."
Auntie San promises you that you will become workers before 1983!
Although the time was incredibly long, the two of them felt as if they had taken a tranquilizer and their expressions relaxed.
Qin Jianye went back to the house and took a pound of melon seeds and two pounds of peanuts. He ate and chatted with his family, while Qin Siyue started playing games with his cousins.
Time seemed to pass very slowly, they felt they could not even open their eyelids, and it was not yet twelve o'clock.
Time seemed to pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the family of three had spent nearly a year in the 1960s.
Qin Jianye, Chen Yunwei, and Qin Siyue have undergone earth-shaking changes in appearance, temperament, and thoughts.
They seemed to be the real Qin family.
Finally, it was twelve o'clock.
Qin Jianye took out firecrackers, ran out of the yard, lit them with a lighter, and dodged to the side nimbly.
Just as the Qin family was about to gather around, he shooed them away. The crackling sound echoed in the silent night and spread far away.
Many people who were still awake came out to join in the fun, and those who were asleep were also woken up by the sound of firecrackers.
I feel that the Qin family is indeed different now. They can even afford firecrackers. In the new year, they will surely prosper.
A few minutes later, the firecrackers came to an end. Qin Jianye went back to the house, got a shovel, cleared away the garbage and buried it, then went back to the house to wash up and rest.
Chen Sijun was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes. He called out "Uncle" and fell asleep in Chen Yunwei's arms.
Neither of the couple woke him up. They wiped the little guy's hands and face with a towel and tucked him into bed.
Qin Siyue and his parents cleaned themselves up before lying down on the warm kang. They looked at each other and smiled.
"Old Qin, I actually think there's nothing wrong with time travel. Look, we're both a dozen years younger, so we're energetic in everything we do."
Qin Jianye nodded: "That's right! It makes me want to experience ancient life. Who knows, maybe we can dress up as princes and princesses, calling the wind and rain, how majestic."
Qin Siyue poured cold water on him: "It could also be a servant, the kind who sold themselves into slavery. As a house-born child, I'm most likely a fire-making girl."
Qin Jianye poked Qin Siyue's forehead hard: "You crow's mouth, why are you saying such depressing things on New Year's Day?"
Qin Siyue quickly said “Pooh, pooh, pooh” and clasped her hands together: “My little girl is ignorant, please don’t blame me, God.
If we were to travel through time, I would definitely let our family of three wear golden fingers and become a wealthy family in ancient times.
Then, there will be no intrigue or change of dynasties, and you can live a peaceful and smooth life."
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Yunwei laughed: "Hahaha, you two are so funny. You really think time travel is easy and you even want to 'go back to prison'."
Qin Siyue was silent. Qin Jianye touched his nose and said, "Who knows?"
Whether it existed or not, he was in awe.
The three of them quarreled for a while, then they could no longer bear it and fell asleep. The next day, they got up before dawn to pay New Year's greetings to the old lady.
Qin Siyue said auspicious words with a smile: "I wish grandma a long life, free from illness and disaster. From now on, you will have braised pork and steamed buns every day. I will be the richest and most leisurely old lady in Qingshan Brigade."
Qian Guihua was just sighing that her granddaughter's education was not in vain, as she spoke in an elegant manner, when she was amused by the "braised pork" and "white steamed buns".
"Oh my, my little girl has really touched the heart of my heart. I have no other wishes in this life except to have enough food and warm clothes every day."
As for whether her children and grandchildren would succeed, she had let it go. An old lady like her couldn't control that. Now she just hoped to live a few more years so she could see the Tiananmen Square in her photos.
That’s right, Qin Jianye showed the photos to the old lady two days ago, and the old lady was so excited that tears came out.
Her voice choked for a moment as she thanked the Party and the army for allowing her to have such a stable old age.
It's a pity that we can only see it in photos.
Qin Jianye comforted her: "Mom, when I have free time, I will take you to visit the beautiful rivers and mountains of our motherland."
The old lady didn't take it seriously, thinking that her son was in the transport team and there was no way he would give up his job to accompany an old woman like her.
That way, the opportunity given by County Magistrate Li won’t be wasted.
Qin Jianye explained, "There's always time to rest. Or I can take you out for a walk next time I'm out driving."
Although it was still a distant dream, the old lady began to look forward to it. In her entire life, she had never left the county seat, let alone the capital, thousands of miles away.
After regaining her consciousness, the old lady took out a red envelope from her pocket and handed it to Qin Siyue.
Qin Siyue put it in her pocket and waited until the other sisters had finished greeting each other before opening it. She saw that there was fifty cents wrapped inside.
He received the biggest red envelope among the younger generation.
Qin Siyue grinned widely, but did not show off. Instead, she carefully put the fifty cents into her bedside table to hide the old lady's preference for her.
After breakfast, a group of people wandered around in the group, chatting and gossiping in groups of three or five.
Children have their own unique way of entertainment. Qin Siyue found a group of older people and played Eagle Catches Chicken with them.
I worked up a sweat while running, but I felt extremely refreshed.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Li Qiao and Zhao Dandan took their husband and children back to their parents' home, but Chen Yunwei stayed in her room and did not go out for the entire morning.
The old lady knew that she was thinking about Old Man Chen, so she didn't come to cause trouble. She asked Qin Jianye to enlighten his wife and look forward to everything.
Chen Sijun seemed to feel his aunt's sadness. He nestled in Chen Yunwei's arms without saying a word.
Chen Yunwei felt that being depressed was no big deal, so she patted the little guy's butt and got up to get dressed.
When I opened the door, I found that heavy snow was falling from the sky.
A gust of wind blew, making her shiver.
Qin Wanxia's laughter came from the kitchen. Chen Yun was curious and went over to take a look. She saw the mother and daughter making dumplings together.
