Traveling through the 1970s

Because it was going to rain, the brigade used a loudspeaker to call on the villagers to harvest the wheat overnight. Han Yunya was alone at home, thinking about whether to cook for the family or take some food out of the space. In the end, she gave up because she was afraid of being nagged.

At around 9 o'clock in the evening, the wind started to blow, and there were lightning and thunder. Han Yunya knew that it was going to rain soon, and soon the sound of raindrops was heard. It was raining.

He swept his spiritual sense through the village and found that there was no one in the fields. Only some wheat scraps were left that had not been harvested yet, while the rest had been harvested.

People were busy stomping the wheat in the yard, and some were covering the stacks. It looked like they would be done soon and go home.

When the Han family came back, they saw ginger soup cooking in the casserole on the stove, so they quickly went back to their rooms to change clothes.

Seeing that her family members were all soaked and afraid that they would nag her, Han Yunya did not leave the room and just pretended to be asleep.

Each person had a bowl of brown sugar ginger soup. The Han family and Cheng Jinhan all sat down and drank it slowly.

"Xiaoxiao is probably afraid that we would say something to her, so she's hiding in the house and refusing to come out." Xu Yuemei took a sip of ginger soup and spoke.

"When I came back, I saw from outside the gate that the light in the small room was on. As soon as I opened the door, the light went out." Han Yunyang smiled indulgently. Xiaoxiao was trying to cover up her mistake because she was afraid that they would nag her.

"Okay, it's getting late. Let's go back to our rooms and sleep after drinking the ginger soup." Han Jinglin drank the ginger soup in the bowl in one gulp.

Cheng Jinhan and Du Weijun also quickly finished their ginger soup and went back to their rooms.

Du Weijun fetched water to wash his feet. As he washed his feet, he said, "Jinhan, I heard that after the wheat harvest, the village will build a place for educated youth. Then we won't be able to live here anymore."

"Why not? As long as we are willing, the village can't do anything." Cheng Jinhan said.

He really didn't want to move out. It wasn't that he couldn't bear to leave anyone, but there were too many people and too much trouble at the educated youth camp. Those female comrades were too annoying. It was more comfortable to live in Han's house, with less trouble.

"But I heard there will be single dormitories." Du Weijun spoke about the news he had heard.

"You still have to pay to live here. We live in the Han family, and the accommodation and food are no different from what we have in Kyoto! Have the Han family members come to see us? Have there been any problems?" Cheng Jinhan didn't even raise his head.

If a person's eyes could lie, I would have doubted whether Han Yunyao really liked me.

She never clings to others like other lesbians, nor does she do anything that might lead to misunderstanding. She is just so open and honest.

"I don't want to move either." Du Weijun said happily.

Living in the Han family, you can save yourself from worry, they won't rack their brains to find their own advantages. And their home is clean and tidy, and the rules are also very good.

"Don't think too much, just take a shower and go back to sleep!"

"It rained today, so it will definitely rain tomorrow." He was exhausted these days and fell asleep as soon as he lay down every day.

"Let's go back quickly! We're tired after a long day." Cheng Jinhan put on his slippers and went out to get some water.

The two of them quickly packed up and went back to the room to sleep.

The next morning, it was drizzling. The rare rain break allowed the villagers, who were tired after several days, to have a good rest.

When Han Yunya woke up, it was already past nine o'clock.

While eating the warm rice in the pot, Han Yunya didn't see her brothers and sisters, so she asked, "Mom, where are my sister and my eldest brother?"

"Your eldest brother asked us to go up the mountain and see if there were any buffaloes. Your sister said you like to eat fried eggs with sweet potato peels, so she went to pick some up." Xu Yuemei said while sewing shoe soles.

Looking outside, it was still drizzling! My sister and brother went up the mountain.

At noon, we had delicious roasted buffalo (buffalo is a kind of locust, also called big-toothed beetle) and scrambled eggs with sweet potato peel.

Han Yunya ate it with great relish. She didn’t want to eat it at first, but after tasting the buffalo, she couldn’t stop eating it.

"Yuemei, it seems Xiaoxiao still loves eating buffalo." Han Jinglin said with a smile.

In the past, we had no money to buy meat for Xiao Xiao Xiao, so whenever it rained, the eldest and the second oldest would go up the mountain to catch buffaloes. After coming back, they would secretly roast them for Xiao Xiao Xiao. Every time Xiao Xiao ate buffaloes, his eyes would narrow with smiles.

"It's because I can't eat other delicious food. I have to be sneaky to eat two buffaloes." Han Yunya said with a pout.

In the past, at Old Han’s house, if they didn’t roast the water buffalo secretly for Xiaoxiao to eat, then even a buffalo wouldn’t be able to fit into Xiaoxiao’s mouth, as it would be snatched away and eaten by the wolf cubs.

"Okay, eat." Xu Yumei said with a smile: "Xiao Cheng, Xiao Du, eat more, there's still a lot!" She greeted Cheng Jinhan and Du Weijun warmly.

Du Weijun smiled. He didn't expect that this thing was so fragrant. The more he ate, the more fragrant it became. He smiled and started eating.

Cheng Jinhan didn't want to eat bugs, but seeing Han Yunya eating them with such relish, he thought they were delicious. He hesitated and picked up a water buffalo and tasted it. It was really delicious, so he slowly ate it.

In the afternoon, the rain stopped and the sun came out. Some people started to go up the mountain, and Han Yunyang followed them.

When Han Yunya heard that the river was flooding, she wanted to go and take a look, but was stopped by her mother and sister.

"Xiaoxiao, there are too many people over there, and the roads are slippery due to the rain, so you'd better not go." Xu Yuemei said carefully

"Xiaoxiao, there's nothing interesting to see when there's a flood. Let me read a book with you!" Han Yunyao also said with a smile.

"Okay!" Han Yunya knew that they were all doing this for her own good, and accidents would be more likely to happen if there were too many people.

Han Yunyao accompanied Han Yunya in the house to read, while Xu Yuemei went out with Zhou Yan to watch the fun.
