Quick Travel: Is it OK to recycle yourself?

On the first day of the New Year, Qu Nannan got up very early, packed up and went out. It was a long way to the Martyrs' Cemetery. There was no ride available at this time, so she had to rely on her own two feet.

When Qu Nannan arrived, there were still a few people here, but after a while most people had left. The main reason was that it was colder here and there was no shelter. The wind was blowing heavily and you couldn't see clearly anything far away.

Qu Nannan asked the elf to watch over some people for her and went around to the side of Qu's father's grave. Coincidentally, Qu's father and mother were next to each other. After burying the original body's belongings, their family of three would be reunited.

Qu Nannan took out a small robot as tall as her calf and asked it to dig a small hole that could fit the box in. The ground was frozen hard in this weather, and Qu Nannan couldn't dig it out by herself.

Soon a hole that was barely big enough for a small box was dug out. Qu Nannan took out the small box from her pocket and carefully placed it in the hole. She then asked the small robot to add the dug soil back in. Finally, she covered it with snow so that no one would notice the difference here after spring.

Qu Nannan muttered a few words and quickly left. She felt guilty about digging up someone else's grave, even though she had good intentions.

After doing this, Qu Nannan felt as if she had let go of a worry and felt relieved. The days went on as usual, and every day seemed to be the same.

Huang Zhi and her brother came to study with her every few days, and asked Qu Nannan when they encountered problems. Fortunately, the knowledge system here was not much different from the previous small world, so Qu Nannan didn't have to start from scratch again.

Although the days were boring, time didn't seem to pass very slowly. The summer of 1977 came quietly.

Recently, Huang Zhi and her brother have been visiting her house very frequently. How could they not be? Qu Nannan has an electric fan at home, so it is cooler here.

Huang Quan rushed in noisily and quickly put the small quilt in his hand on the kang: "Eat quickly, I covered it tightly this time and it definitely won't melt."

I opened the quilt and found six popsicles wrapped inside. They weren't very hard, but they weren't melting into water like they were a few days ago.

Qu Nannan took out a small insulated lunch box and put the three sticks in it: "Eat these three first."

No one was polite and they just started eating. Although there was an electric fan in the room, it only blew out hot air. This summer seemed particularly unbearable.

Huang Zhi took a big bite and said, "This icy one is more thirst-quenching and cool. The more you eat the cream, the thirstier you get."

Qu Nannan also took a bite and held it in her mouth, feeling the coolness for a moment: "Why do I feel like it's especially hot this year?"

Huang Quan even said, "It's not that bad. My mom also said that it hasn't been this hot in the summer for many years. It would be great if I could soak in the water. It would definitely be cool."

"There's a big basin in the yard. The well water is very cool. You can go and soak in it." Huang Zhi gave her younger brother some advice.

Although well water is not as convenient as tap water, the water is really good. The water doesn’t feel that cold in winter, and it is icy and comfortable in summer.

"The big basin at my sister Nannan's house can't hold me. I'm going to go play in the river with them tomorrow. It will definitely be cool."

"You wish. If mom knew, she would punish you."

"How can mom know if you don't tell me?"

"As if my mother wouldn't know if I didn't tell her, what can we hide here? Can you shut me up, shut our neighbors up, and shut your friends' families up?"

Huang Quan was immediately discouraged. His mother had never allowed him to play in the river since he was a child, for fear that he would drown.

"If you don't want to go, then don't go. Let's go up the mountain to hunt?" Huang Quan seemed to be unable to sit still. He was full of energy no matter how bad the weather was.

Qu Nannan glanced at the dazzling sun outside and shook her head: "No, I feel like I'll melt if I go out. How come you are so energetic?"

She finally got two days' rest, but she didn't want to go out and bask in the sun. Her feet would get burned just by walking on the road with her shoes on. She didn't want to go out and suffer that.

Huang Zhi slapped her brother on the head and said, "You don't want to study anymore, so you want to go out and play?"

"It's been so long and there's still no news. How long do we have to wait?" Huang Quan was a little discouraged. He had been studying for more than a year and there was no change.

He is not a studious person, and he has almost reached his limit of being able to persist for so long. He just wants to go out for a walk every day, and he feels like he will go crazy staying in the house like this.

Qu Nannan suggested: "Then take a few days off. Studying alone is unbearable. You can also go out and play with your friends to relax."

How could her younger brother Huang Zhi not understand? It was already a rare achievement for him to persist for such a long time: "I think it's okay. You can go out and play with them tomorrow. I'll give you a few days off and you can have fun as much as you want."

Even if you are forced to stay and study, you will not be able to learn anything because you are already too lazy to do it.

Huang Quan scratched his head: "Alright, they just asked me to go out with them. I'll be at work the day after tomorrow, so I won't have time to go out and play."

"What are we going to eat tonight?" The two of them brought their food to her place and basically ate here.

"Cold noodles. I just learned how to make it from Chef Wang. It's sour, sweet, icy and quite appetizing. Can you guys eat it?"

"Eat, I love to eat anything that's delicious." Huang Quan has never been picky about food, he thinks anything is delicious.

Huang Zhi also became interested: "Are you eager to learn? Can you teach me too?"

"It's easy to learn. The key is the soup. When I mix the soup later, you can learn it just by watching me once. It's so simple."

Apart from studying, the three heads only research food every day. However, due to the limited availability of ingredients, they can only research a few things.

……

A loud thunderclap woke up Qu Nannan who was sleeping soundly. She opened her eyes and looked outside at the lightning that occasionally lit up the sky.

"This is the first time I've heard such loud thunder. Is it going to rain?"

Before the elf could answer, the sound of heavy rain began outside. The rain came quickly and urgently, just like pouring water in a basin. The sound was also incredibly loud, covering up the sounds of all living creatures. It seemed that the only sound left in the sky was the rain.

"Oh my god, it's raining so hard? The weather should be cooler after the rain, right?"

The Huang siblings came over almost every day, and she couldn't use high-tech cooling equipment, so she had to endure it every day. She only used the constant temperature stone when she went to bed at night to keep the indoor temperature at the most comfortable level.

Qu Nannan lost her sleepiness for a moment. She sat up and stared at the heavy rain outside the window in a daze. She missed her grandparents and brothers.
