Rebirth in the 70s: A military wife who was married into a vegetative state

An Nian rode his bicycle to the entrance of Hekou Village and saw Yu Xiaonuan from a distance.

She had been waiting for a while, and when she saw An Nian, she immediately came up to meet him.

"Nian Nian, drink some water first."

An Nian took the enamel jar: "Xiao Nuan, what do I need to do in the morning?"

"Today we will start dividing the taro seedlings. When someone counts, you are responsible for registering them. Don't be nervous, your brother-in-law will be watching from the side. If you have any questions, just ask him."

Their relationship should be on Yu Xiaonuan's side, calling Sun Jian'an brother-in-law.

"it is good."

An Nian nodded and pushed the bicycle forward with Yu Xiaonuan.

Along the way, the two met many people.

Everyone is heading in the same direction - the drying ground to the west of Hekou Village.

When An Nianhe and Xiao Nuan arrived at the drying yard, many villagers were already surrounding them.

There are two desks placed on the drying ground. They look like they were eliminated from a nearby elementary school. The colors of the four legs are inconsistent, but it does not affect their use.

"Jian'an, Nian Nian is here."

Yu Xiaonuan walked to her husband Sun Jianan, who was immersed in work, and said something.

An Nian stood next to Yu Xiaonuan and saw the book open on the table. There was a half-drawn form on the first page.

The registration books bound with thick lines are made from large pieces of white paper. They are folded and cut in half before use, and then bound by hand to become a book.

However, pure white paper is not convenient for registration, and forms need to be drawn.

Just now, Sun Jian'an was drawing forms with a large clothes-making ruler and pencil.

"Okay, wait for me."

When the form filled the entire page, Sun Jianan raised his head and smiled apologetically at An Nian.

"I'm going to report to the commune this afternoon. I'm afraid you don't know how to make the form, so I want to draw it first and give it to you."

An Nian nodded: "Please, brother-in-law."

"It's okay, let me tell you all the precautions first..."

After making sure that An Nian had memorized everything, Sun Jianan took her to identify the people in Hekou Village, and then left with his wife.

-

"Auntie, just sign here. If you don't know how to sign, you can leave a fingerprint."

An Nian skillfully registered the number of taro seedlings received by everyone, and also recorded the population of each family.

As long as several pieces of data match up, the villagers can sign for confirmation.

So busy, time passed quickly.

The table is placed at the edge of the drying area, which can be shielded from the sun by the surrounding buildings. The temperature is just right at the beginning, and it gets hotter as it gets closer to noon.

Seeing that there were fewer people coming to register, An Nian took the time to wipe the sweat from his face, bent down and picked up the kettle he had brought from the ground.

"Are you Yu Xiaozi's wife?"

"Ok?"

Suddenly hearing the familiar words "Yu Xiaozi", An Nian looked up in surprise and laughed when he saw the person coming.

"Grandpa Zhao? Xiaoju? Why are you here?"

"Hahahaha. It's you after all! I remember your name is Niannian, right?"

Compared with Old Man Zhao's uncertainty, Xiaoju's memory is much better. She had seen An Nian in the hospital before.

Xiaojue smiled sweetly at An Nian: "Sister An Nian."

"Hey, Xiaoju, long time no see!"

An Nian hurriedly walked out from behind the table and gave up the bench where he was sitting.

"Grandpa Zhao, sit down quickly."

Old Zhao had suffered a lot in the fire before, and An Nian didn't dare to let him stand all the time.

Old man Zhao didn't refuse and sat down directly.

"Girl Nian, are you here to help Jian'an? I heard that he was transferred to the commune to help."

"Yes." An Nian nodded.

As long as the people in Hekou Village are not too stupid, they all know the reason why Sun Jianan did this, but they just don't have the position to say more.

"Very good." Old Man Zhao laughed, his eyes warm. "I remember you wanted that Sifang Ding before. Do you still want it now?"

An Nian's eyes lit up and he sat upright instantly.

"Grandpa Zhao, is the tripod still there?"

Ever since the fire broke out at the waste recycling station, An Nian had no illusions about the "Alchemy Furnace".

A fire can destroy many things. Although the alchemy furnace can withstand very high temperatures, it is too small and has long been hidden in the chaos.

Moreover, after the fire, the waste recycling station was included in the focus of the public security investigation. She could not stay in the county for too long and could not hide from people while searching, so she naturally missed it.

However, An Nian has always adhered to the attitude of "I am lucky to get it, but I am not destined to die" when it comes to natural and earthly treasures. He has a calm mind and is not too disappointed.

"Here it is. At that time, you said you were coming to pick it up in the evening, so I took it out specially.

After the fire, I went to pack my things and found it in the room.After getting permission from my boss, I took it home and it is now sitting in my drawer. "

Old man Zhao said with a smile.

Originally, the government assigned him a job at the waste recycling station to take care of him. After the fire, the leaders did not dare to let him work anymore and directly arranged for him to retire.

Xiaoju's position is also retained, and she can be taken back at any time when she reaches adulthood.

The leader took good care of them, and Old Man Zhao did not refuse. When he left, he just asked to take a few things with him.

The leader looked at it and saw that it was not contraband, so he let it go.

The contraband items in this era were generally those leaflets of feudal superstition, reactionary speeches, foreign documents, etc. Other categories were basically ignored.

It’s just a small thing whose age and material cannot be discerned, and the leaders of the recycling station don’t care at all.

"When you're done, come to our house and I'll give it to you."

An Nian nodded repeatedly: "Thank you, Grandpa Zhao! Aren't you and Xiaoju from the county? Why are you in Hekou Village now?"

"My wife is from Hekou Village, and Xiaoju, whose surname is hers, is also from Hekou Village. Instead of living in the county and causing trouble, we two should go back to the village to grow vegetables."

Old man Zhao replied with a smile.

An Nian understood instantly.

The Zhao family and the waste recycling station are connected together, and they must have been affected by the fire at that time. It would be very troublesome to reorganize and move in. For Mr. Zhao and Xiaoju, living in a place that had been on fire, You may have nightmares when you sleep at night.

"pretty good."

No one came to register at noon. An Nian said hello to the others and simply left with them in advance.

An Nian came over to help. Lunch was given by Xiao Nuan Bao.

Just as he was going to Old Man Zhao's house, he was passing by Yu Xiaonuan's house. An Nian went in and spoke to her, then took Xiaojue and continued forward.

Old Zhao and Xiao Ju live at the head of Hekou Village. The location is very good, with vegetable fields in front and behind, and a small stream at the back door. The environment is very good.

"Nian girl, please sit down for a while. Eat some fruit."

"it is good."

An Nian responded, took a bright red fruit, ate it, and went out the back door curiously.

Xiaojue followed her step by step and introduced in a low voice.

"Sister Nian, my grandfather said this is a spring water with its source deep in the mountains. The water is very sweet."

"Sister Nian, this is a persimmon tree. When it bears fruit, I'll ask you to come over and eat it. My grandpa will use rice to ripen it to ensure it's sweet!"

The so-called ripening is actually to bury the persimmons in the rice, and use the ethylene emitted from the mature rice to promote the ripening of the persimmons.

Ethylene is one of the plant auxins.

The same principle applies to using apples to ripen bananas and kiwis.

An Nian nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "Xiaoju, you know so much."

It was rare for Xiaoju to be praised, and her face turned red.

"My grandpa taught me everything..."

The two walked around the house until Old Man Zhao called them, and they returned to the main hall.

"Come on, here it is."

"Thank you, Grandpa Zhao."

An Nian took the Sifang Ding wrapped in a towel, opened it and took a look. It looked the same as the first thing she saw.The complicated patterns underneath hide the spirit gathering array, with the word "An Nian" written on the center of the array.

She moved her spiritual power in without leaving a trace, and turned around. The tripod body hidden under the black shell quickly absorbed this subtle spiritual power.

An Nian felt happy and put it into the crossbody bag she was carrying.

"Grandpa Zhao, how much does this tripod cost? Let me see if I have enough money. If not, I will make up for it tomorrow."

Old man Zhao stared: "Money, what money? You and Yu Xiaozi saved my life and Xiaoju's, and I didn't say I would repay you with money."

"It's different..."

"What's different?!"

Old man Zhao didn't wait for An Nian to finish speaking, and waved his hand to interrupt.

"This cauldron was originally unwanted in the recycling bin. Even the leaders don't like it. It's useless if I take it back. If you like it, just take it away."

"Grandpa Zhao..."

"No need to say more!" Old Man Zhao stood up, "Xiaoju, see you off!"

"Okay!" Xiaoju looked confused, but still obeyed his grandfather's words habitually. "Sister Nian, I'll take you out."

An Nian couldn't laugh or cry: "Grandpa Zhao, don't worry. OK, OK, I won't give you money! Just treat this tripod as a gift from you."

Upon hearing her words, Old Zhao's expression instantly improved.

"That's right, you're too young to be picky."

In fact, this alchemy furnace was originally An Nian's own thing. According to the rules of the cultivation world, no matter how many years have passed, whether it is tens of thousands of years, or hundreds or even thousands, everything will depend on strength.

Now An Nian is fully capable of taking back the alchemy furnace.

However, having been reborn in this characteristic era for several months, An Nian has long been accustomed to its peace and comfort, and she does not want to do things according to the rules of the world of cultivation.

After thinking about it, An Nian took out a few fruit candies from his pocket.

Apart from money, this is the most expensive thing An Nian owns now.

Of course, except for the hairpin on her head.

The card given by the eldest brother, no matter what An Nian said, it would be impossible to use it to redeem the money.

"Xiaoju, eat some candy. Grandpa, eat some candy."

Seeing that Old Zhao's mouth moved, An Nian hurriedly spoke.

"Grandpa, if you don't accept my money, you won't even accept my candy, right?!"

Old man Zhao was amused by her: "Take it, take it!"

Seeing her grandpa nodding, Xiaoju happily held the candy in her little hands, raised her little head, and smiled sweetly at An Nian.

"Thank you sister An Nian."

"fine."

An Nian reached out and touched Xiaoju's head. Not to mention, it felt really good.

No wonder the eldest brother likes to rub his head so much.

Yu Luyuan suddenly came to mind again at an inappropriate time, and An Nian quickly came back to his senses.

"Grandpa Zhao, Xiaoju, I'll leave first. Xiaonuan is still waiting for me to have lunch."

"Okay, you go back."

Old man Zhao also heard the conversation between An Nian and Yu Xiaonuan just now. Hearing this, he waved her away.

-

After a busy day in Hekou Village, An Nian finished sorting out the records in his hands, said goodbye to the others who worked together, got on his bicycle, and went home carrying his precious alchemy furnace.

Maybe it was because he was getting younger, and An Nian felt that his temperament had become childish.

Along the way, she kept reaching out to touch the alchemy furnace in her bag, feeling excited about a lost treasure.

When she got home, Li Youmei saw that she was in a good mood and put down her worries that she had been worrying about all day. She smiled and invited her to eat.

An Nian parked the bicycle against the wall: "Mom, wait for a while, I'll wash my hands first!"

She said she was washing her hands, but the direction she was heading towards was her room.

After entering the room, An Nian carefully took out his alchemy furnace and placed it on the table near the window so that it could be exposed to the sun and moonlight.

Treasures are self-deprecating.

The more precious something is, the more ordinary its appearance is. This is a way of protecting the treasure.

The same is true for An Nian's alchemy furnace.

This alchemy furnace was discovered by her from the secret realm of an ancient power hundreds of years ago. At first, it looked so ordinary.

But as long as it is full of energy and used to refine elixirs, the elixir-making rate will increase by 100%, and the elixir quality will increase by 100%.

In other words, an ordinary alchemy furnace requires two sets of medicine to make a furnace of pills, while it only requires one set of medicine.The quality of the elixir produced by an ordinary elixir furnace is medium-grade, and it can reach the top-grade, and the number of elixirs produced will not be reduced.

Such an alchemy furnace is simply a supreme treasure for alchemists in the world of cultivation.

The more advanced the elixir, the more complex its recipe is and the more precious raw materials it requires.

It is already difficult to collect a pair of medicines. If you want to successfully refine the elixir, an ordinary alchemy furnace and an ordinary alchemist will need several pairs of medicines. Even a large sect with profound knowledge cannot afford it.

Moreover, the effects of taking middle-grade elixirs and high-grade elixirs are completely different, and the proportions of impurities contained in them are completely different.

An Nian was able to become a Nascent Soul as a casual cultivator in just a few hundred years. This alchemy furnace played a big role.

"Absorb it well. It's up to you." An Nian smiled and touched the alchemy furnace. "You were able to absorb the power of the sun and the moon before. It shouldn't be too bad in a different environment."

Many things in the world of cultivation can only use spiritual power as a resource.

For example, the practice of martial arts, such as other alchemy furnaces.

However, An Nian's alchemy furnace has a function. It can absorb and convert various energies, including but not limited to the power of the stars, the essence of the sun and the moon, attacks from others, and thunder from the sky during promotion.

Oh, by the way, this alchemy furnace was used by An Nian to withstand the thunder...

An Nian suddenly felt guilty...

"This dark layer on your body must have been struck by lightning..."

"Nian Nian! It's time to eat!"

"coming!"

An Nian quickly came to his senses and opened the curtains wider to ensure that the alchemist could receive the baptism of moonlight 360 degrees.

After rushing to the well and washing her hands, An Nian trotted to the kitchen, sat down and started eating.

"Mom, I saw Grandpa Zhao and Xiao Ju in Hekou Village today."

Li Youmei had also heard of Old Man Zhao and Xiao Ju before. Hearing this, she looked over in confusion.

"How did they..."

"Well, Grandpa Zhao said he..."

An Nian told the story exactly, and also mentioned that he had obtained a Sifang Ding.
