A Time Travel Effort in the 70s

After work in the afternoon, Shen Jiaren prepared to go home.

As a result, when Shen Jiaren just reached the edge of the field, she saw a little girl of about twelve or thirteen following behind her.

Shen Jiaren was still curious, was this little girl following her to find her? Or was she working here?

Because although there are educated youth and elderly people here, it is the first time I see children coming here.

Secondly, I had only been in the countryside for a few days and had not had time to get to know the girls in the village.

Just when Shen Jiaren was curious, the little girl with a ponytail came to her side and said to her, "Sister Zhiqing, my grandma asked me to ask you to go to my house for dinner. She was afraid that you couldn't find the way, so she asked me to lead you there."

Shen Jiaren looked at the girl's ponytail swaying on the back of her head and couldn't help wanting to sway along with it. But then she thought that this was probably because Aunt Liu was afraid that she would not go to dinner, so she called her over to take her there.

Shen Jiaren couldn't help but smiled and replied, "Okay, okay, but I need to go home and wash up first. Do you want to come with me to my house, or do you want to go back and wait for me at your house first?"

"I'll wait for you at your door. My grandma asked me to take you there. She said you just arrived and don't know the way to the village. She was afraid you wouldn't be able to find it, so she asked me to take you there."

Shen Jiaren smiled when she heard that, and took the girl's hand and walked towards her home.

On the way back, we chatted and found out that this girl and the little boy she rescued this afternoon were twins. She was called Liu Jiaying, the younger sister, and the little boy this afternoon was the older brother. They both live with their grandparents and uncle now.

So it was grandma who called us to eat this afternoon, and it was also grandma who was there when my brother had the accident before.

After listening to this, Shen Jiaren was very curious as to why he didn't mention his parents, but she didn't ask too much. After all, it was someone else's family privacy, and it would be bad to ask too much.

However, on the way back, the two chatted happily and each of them ate a White Rabbit milk candy.

Originally, Liu Jiaying refused to eat, thinking it was not nice to eat someone else's food when walking with this sister for the first time.

And I have an older brother. Although I can leave half for my brother, it is not good to eat it all by myself.

Shen Jiaren laughed after hearing this. This little girl's family education was quite good. She told Liu Jiaying that she would give her two White Rabbit candies, one for herself and one for her brother. It was not for free, but a thank you gift for coming here to lead the way and accompany her home.

And because she had to go home to wash up, they had to go to dinner later, so she used the candy to fill her stomach.

So after Shen Jiaren finished explaining to Liu Jiaying with a smile, the two of them ate White Rabbit milk candies and laughed happily.

After returning to Shen Jiaren's yard, Liu Jiaying refused to follow Shen Jiaren into the yard and insisted on waiting at the gate of the yard.

Shen Jiaren had no choice but to quickly go into her room and start packing.

Although I have been slacking off most of the day, I am going to visit someone's home now. It would seem disrespectful to the host if I don't change my clothes and tidy up.

So Shen Jiaren fetched a basin of water, washed herself, tidied her hair, changed her clothes, and prepared to leave the yard and go to the girl's home with her.

After Shen Jiaren washed up and changed her clothes, she thought before going out that she was going to someone's house for dinner, and it would not be good to go empty-handed. After all, food was tight at this time. So Shen Jiaren went back to the manor, took two handfuls of White Rabbit milk candies and fruit hard candies, put them in a newspaper, and went out.

After Shen Jiaren walked out of the yard, she saw the little girl squatting by the door, playing with something, and she couldn't help but laugh.

It is indeed better to have children with family. It is possible that at the same actual age, Liu Jiaying is still like a child, playing with something that she doesn’t know whether it is dirt or insects; but she has already replaced others to go to the countryside to build a new countryside.

The most important thing is that I am nominally 16 years old, older than Liu Jiaying. When dealing with things, I must act more mature.

Thinking of this, Shen Jiaren couldn't help but smile and called out

"Jiaying, I'm done packing. Let's go to your house for dinner."

After saying that, Shen Jiaren took Liu Jiaying's hand and followed Liu Jiaying's footsteps towards Liu's house.

As a result, halfway through the journey, I met Chen Jiaojiao.

Unexpectedly, when they passed by, Chen Jiaojiao rolled her eyes at Shen Jiaren and walked away.

Chen Jiaojiao couldn't help but get even angrier when she saw Shen Jiaren, who was dressed neatly and walking towards the village with a little girl in her hand.

In the afternoon, the team leader went to check the work points and tasks. As a result, because Chen Jiaojiao's work was a bit unacceptable, the team leader scolded Chen Jiaojiao and warned her that if she did not do it well, she could do it slowly, but she could not be perfunctory, because this was farming. If she still wanted to go back, or was still so hypocritical and still did not listen to the team's arrangements, the team would consider reporting her situation to the educated youth point, and the educated youth point would arrange her to a farm or other place. As for the situation afterwards, the team would not care and it would depend on the arrangements of the educated youth point.

After listening to this, Chen Jiaojiao was still confused. It was not until she got off work in the afternoon and was on her way back to the educated youth site with the old educated youth that she realized that the so-called going to the farm or other places meant going to more difficult places to receive re-education from the poor and lower-middle peasants.

That difficult place is more bitter, more tiring, and has a more harsh environment than the current production brigade in this village. If you go there, you will be even more miserable than you are now, and you will be skinned alive even if you don't die.

The old educated youth all suggested that it would be best to stay in this production team honestly. The team leader and the team situation of this production team are all better than those in the production teams under the jurisdiction of the educated youth points in this area. They will pay extra attention to the educated youth's ability to earn work points, and not only provide some help, but also lend them food. Most importantly, they will not let the villagers in the village bully the people in the educated youth points or let any unfair things happen. Therefore, this place is really very good.

After hearing this, Chen Jiaojiao was completely shocked.

How can it be worse? Isn't this the worst?

From this perspective, the team leader holds the power of life and death over all the educated youth.

The most important thing is that it’s not that I don’t want to do it, but that I really can’t do it.

When I was at home, I was the kind of person who didn't do any housework. But now that I'm here, I've started to pull weeds in the fields. What else do I need to do?

Chen Jiaojiao couldn't understand why the team leader said she was perfunctory. At worst, she could just work slower and more carefully tomorrow. If that didn't work, she could ask others for advice to see how to solve the problem.

She was feeling depressed, and then she met Shen Jiaren, who was singled out for praise by the captain this afternoon. Although she was still very envious and even a little bit admiring of Shen Jiaren this afternoon.

But when the captain praised Shen Jiaren by name and criticized him in public, his envy and admiration were completely shattered. His dissatisfaction reached its peak again.

So when he saw Shen Jiaren on the road, he just rolled his eyes at her and walked away with his head held high.

Shen Jiaren felt a little puzzled by the cold stare and was speechless. What kind of person is that? Does it bother you if I walk on the main road?

Shen Jiaren was speechless. She really wanted to pull him up to argue with him. She wanted to ask him if his brain was soaked in water after being exposed to the sun today. But when she remembered that she was still holding Liu Jiaying's hand, she thought, forget it. It was not good to quarrel in front of the child, so she continued to follow Liu Jiaying's footsteps and walked forward.

Not long after walking, the two arrived at Liu Jiaying's home.

Before she even entered the door, Liu Jiaying called out, "Grandma, grandma, grandma, look, I brought the person over to you."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Aunt Aihua walking to the door and watching them walk hand in hand to her door with a smile on her face.

After the three of them entered the door together.

Zhang Aihua said to Shen Jiaren, "Shen Zhiqing, sit down and rest for a while. The food will be ready soon. Erya, stay here with Sister Zhiqing and play for a while."

After saying that, Zhang Aihua turned around and went into the kitchen.

Shen Jiaren said, "Auntie, don't worry. We just got off work. I came here early. You go ahead and do your work. I'm not very hungry.

Auntie, do you need my help here?"

"No, no, you are here as a guest and we are hosting a thank-you banquet. We specially invited you, so why would we ask you to do anything? Just sit and play with Erya, and you will be ready in a while." After hearing Shen Jiaren's answer, Zhang Aihua thought that this girl was really polite. Everyone had worked for a whole day, so how could they not be hungry? Thinking of this, she quickened her movements a lot, thinking about preparing the meal quickly.

When Liu Jiaying saw her grandmother say this, she pulled Shen Jiaren to sit on a stool in the yard and said, "Sister, sit here and play with me. Grandma will prepare the meal in a while."

Shen Jiaren looked at Liu Jiaying pretending to be an adult and wondered if she usually behaved like this, so she teased Liu Jiaying and said, "Your grandmother said your name is Erya, and you said your name is Liu Jiaying. So, my little comrade, should I call you Erya, or Comrade Liu Jiaying? Or Jiaying?" After saying that, she looked at Liu Jiaying with a smile.

Liu Jiaying couldn't help blushing when she saw this educated youth sister teasing her. She felt that this sister was a good person when they were on the road, and they were very happy to chat. She asked her to call her Sister Jiaren, and she called herself Sister Jiaying or Jiaying. Why did she want to tease herself and call her Erya after listening to what her grandmother said? Thinking about it, she said, "Sister, you can call me whatever you want, but outside, please call me Jiaying or Sister Jiaying, because my name is Liu Jiaying."

Liu Jiahui, who was playing on the bed in the room, heard this answer, and ran out to Shen Jiaren and said, "This is the sister who saved me. You can't call me sister Erya, because we both have real names. You have to call us by our real names, not our nicknames."

Shen Jiaren couldn't help feeling happy when she saw the little boy who had been lying there in the afternoon running up to her and talking to her so cleverly. It was great that the little boy was fine now.

When Shen Jiaren heard Liu Jiahui say this, she couldn't help but tease, "Then may I ask, you have a full name and a nickname, what is your nickname?"

"I won't tell you," Liu Jiahui answered directly after hearing Shen Jiaren's question.

"Sister, my brother's name is Goudan, but he doesn't let others call him that or say it. Every time someone calls him Goudan, he gets angry for a long time. But I told you because you just gave me and my brother a White Rabbit candy each." After saying that, Liu Jiaying took out the candy from her pocket, gave the whole candy to her brother, unwrapped the remaining half of the candy, and ate a few bites herself.

"Brother, this is the candy that our sister gave us, and it's White Rabbit candy." After saying that, Liu Jiaying handed the candy to her brother Liu Jiahui.

Liu Jiahui looked at the White Rabbit milk candy in his sister's hand and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. After all, he had just answered the question of his sister who saved his life in a very fierce tone. Now he had to eat someone else's White Rabbit milk candy, which made him feel even more embarrassed.

At this time, a burst of fragrance came from the kitchen, and Zhang Aihua's voice was heard, "Erya, Goudan, the dishes are served. Let's wash our hands and eat."

When Shen Jiaren heard Aunt Aihua calling her that, she burst out laughing. Liu Jiahui looked at Shen Jiaren's smile, took the White Rabbit candy from his sister's hand and ran, saying as he ran, "Grandma, here we come, let's serve the dishes."

When Shen Jiaren saw Goudan running away, the smile on her face grew bigger and bigger, but this time she didn't laugh out loud.
