Infinite Streamer

Chapter 116: Behaving well and listening are sometimes antonyms

The fog was so thick, like the dark night where you couldn't see your hand in front of you. Liu Yuan seemed to have fallen into a bottomless abyss again.

All kinds of demons and monsters appeared one after another, flashing like a kaleidoscope.

As if he suddenly looked back, he saw his rescued comrade Zhang Can with a smile on his face. He said, "Brother Yuan, thank you. If it weren't for you, I would have died!"

Liu Yuan looked righteous and said, "If I were in danger, I believe you would save me regardless of the consequences!"

One by one, the familiar comrades picked up the wine glasses from the big teapots, laughed heartily and said, "Brother Yuan, Brother Huoshan, let's drink this cup to celebrate our comradeship of sharing life and death!"

The scene changed, and it seemed to be at a grand memorial service. But why did the person in the large photo frame in the middle look so familiar? In the chaos of thoughts, a glimmer of clarity suddenly appeared. Wasn't the person in the photo frame the me who was about to retire?

Liu Yuan couldn't help but burst into tears!

"Am I already dead?..."

I felt like I was being tossed in the sea again...

"Bingkun, are you having a nightmare?" Li Suhua's voice rang in his ears while his body was still being shaken, "It's okay, mom is here!"

When Zhou Bingkun woke up from his sleep, he was still sobbing and panting, and at the same time mumbling something he couldn't understand. Li Suhua had already put on a cotton coat and gently patted Zhou Bingkun's shoulders.

Zhou Bingkun quickly put on a well-behaved look and said, "Mom, it's okay. I was scared to death by the nightmare!"

Li Suhua continued, "It's already daybreak, it's time to get up! The clock in the clock tower is broken and hasn't been repaired yet, so I don't know the exact time, but I think it's about time."

Most families in this era did not have watches or clocks. On the one hand, it was because most of them were financially strapped, and on the other hand, it was because there was not much need for it. Most people in the city relied on the sound of the bells in the clock tower to tell time.

The bell and drum towers in cities are mainly used for warning and time reporting. In ancient times, the bells were struck twice at Yinshi (3:5 to 19:21) and Xushi (: to :), and from Xushi, the drums were struck every shift until Yinshi the next day. This is the origin of "morning bells and evening drums".

Bell and Drum Towers are built in every city, mainly used for telling time and determining the time. Today, bell towers and drum towers have become city landmark buildings and symbols of urban culture.

Zhou Bingkun took out an old pocket watch from the storage space of the space-time router system, handed it to his mother Li Suhua, and said, "Use this pocket watch to check the time. I exchanged it for a sweet potato yesterday. Dad needs to know the exact time when he goes to work and we go to school."

Li Suhua took the pocket watch and looked at it, and said happily: "This thing was used as a dowry by very wealthy families in the past. When mother married your father, she wanted to have such a watch, but unfortunately we were even poorer at that time. Now I have it, it will be easier to control time."

At this time Zhou Zhigang said: "Bring it here, let me take a look."

Then he asked Zhou Bingkun, "Bingkun, how many sweet potatoes did you exchange for this watch?"

Zhou Bingkun said: "About a dozen sweet potatoes!"

Zhou Zhigang said, "Bingkun, food is becoming increasingly scarce now, so don't randomly exchange things when you come back."

Zhou Bingkun said obediently: "Dad, I get it. I'm very obedient! I exchanged a jade ring here yesterday. It is very similar to our ancestral jade bracelet. It will definitely be very valuable in the future." After that, he pretended to take out a jade ring from his pocket and handed it to his mother Li Suhua.

Zhou Bingkun knows that being well-behaved is sometimes synonymous with euphemism and flexibility, while being obedient means mechanically carrying out parents' requests, and sometimes they are actually antonyms with completely opposite meanings.
