Time Travel Article: Tool Man Rejects Plot

Gu Mingyue, who was admiring herself, was brought back to reality by Xiao Shitou's voice.

Otherwise, she would probably go down the path of narcissism and never turn back.

She coughed calmly and said, "It's okay. Auntie, look in the mirror and measure whether the clothes are too tight for you."

Little Stone, who was lying on the edge of the kang, tilted his head and asked, "Why are the clothes getting thinner? Is it because the clothes are not full?"

Gu Mingyue: Well, that’s a good question. Don’t ask it next time.

She walked closer and pretended to discover something. "Hey, Auntie just discovered that there is a little tiger on Little Stone's clothes."

Sure enough, Little Stone's attention was instantly diverted. "Hehe, because Little Stone is the little tiger."

As he was speaking, the little guy's tone dropped, "This is what grandma embroidered for Little Stone."

Gu Mingyue sat down next to Xiao Shitou and said softly, "Grandma's cooking skills have always been very good."

Little Stone asked in a muffled voice, "Aunt, will I never see grandma again?"

Gu Mingyue held the little guy on her lap and did not choose to fool him. "Little Stone, have you ever seen the stars in the sky?"

"I've seen it. It's shiny and bright. It looks pretty."

“Auntie, let me tell you, according to legend, after a person dies, they will turn into a star and live in the sky;

You see twinkling stars because they are gazing at their loved ones in the sky;

Whenever we face darkness and difficulties, we look up and find that they are always with us;

Grandma is like this, she will become a star in the sky and accompany us forever."

Little Stone used his hands and feet to crawl towards the window.

It is now early August and there are many mosquitoes. The window papers on the windows have long been replaced with gauze made from old mosquito nets.

Just convenient for the little ones.

Little Stone looked at the sky through the gauze and suddenly found a star shining brightly...

He pointed at the star excitedly and said, "Auntie, auntie, is that the star that grandma turned into?"

"The star that you think is the brightest is the one that grandma deliberately changed to a shape that you can recognize."

Little Stone turned his head and looked at the stars, crying out loudly to them, "Grandma, Grandma, I miss you. Woo woo….

I will listen to my aunt, I will be good, grandma, you have to be good too;

Take good care of yourself and don't worry about me. From now on, I will come to accompany you every night, okay?"

After Little Stone finished speaking, he saw the star twinkling.

He pointed to Gu Mingyue excitedly and said, "Aunt, look, grandma heard what I said, did she agree with me?"

People always say that a pure heart is the most valuable. Gu Mingyue, who was once full of thorns, didn't understand it, nor did she believe it.

Now she seemed to have some enlightenment. It had nothing to do with interests, gains or losses, but only with purity and goodness!

Gu Mingyue replied, "Well, from now on, grandma will be with us every night with stars. Will little Shitou still be sad now?"

Little Stone's eyes were red from crying, but he was in a good mood.

Hearing Gu Mingyue's words, the little guy nestled in her arms and counted his fingers happily, "Don't be sad, I have grandma, auntie, and little stone."

Children may be born with the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm!

At first, he was a little restrained when facing Gu Mingyue, but now he has habitually snuggled up to her.

And Gu Mingyue seemed to have adapted to this way of getting along.

I have to say, the chubby body of a baby has a magical power that can bring peace to one’s soul.

Holding the limp little guy in my arms, I suddenly felt that the word "relative" was no longer a cold and false meaning.

Instead, it becomes more concrete so that she will no longer feel repulsed or disgusted.

Instead, there is a hint of entanglement.

After a good night's sleep, Gu Mingyue, who was used to getting up early, woke up when she heard the rooster crowing.

It was not yet dawn, and she roughly estimated that it was probably less than six o'clock.

The original owner did not have a watch. Starting from 1955, China entered the era of coupons.

City people may receive some tickets every month, but it is more difficult for rural people to get tickets. To buy a watch, you need a watch ticket.

There are also some that don’t require tickets, and the prices are relatively high. The original owner’s mother didn’t want to be too conspicuous, and she also had a clock at home, so she didn’t buy it.

It’s just that the clock at home stopped working some time ago and no one could be found to repair it, so Gu Mingyue can only estimate the time by looking at the weather.

Come to think of it, she didn't have a watch in her previous life. She usually used her mobile phone to check time, so she didn't have much need for a watch.

But it is really inconvenient not to have a way to tell time in this day and age, so I still have to buy a watch when I have time.

I went to the kitchen, boiled a pot of hot water and poured it into the thermos.

After seeing half a bag of millet in the cupboard, Gu Mingyue thought of having millet porridge for breakfast, which was a perfect match with the juicy salted duck eggs.

After Gu Mingyue boiled the water, she kept some for washing, then added two bowls of water and started to cook porridge.

While cooking porridge, I was thinking that I must reserve two stoves when building a house, one for boiling water and one for cooking.

Otherwise, even if she cleaned it, she would always feel that there was oil in the pan.

While waiting for the food to boil, Gu Mingyue sat by the stove and began to make a schedule in her mind.

She is used to planning ahead, and even if the plan cannot keep up with the changes, she will try her best to control the general direction.

The plot begins in 1970, which is much earlier than now, so Gu Mingyue simply put the plot aside.

She survived all the hardships safely, her goal must be to live a hundred years, all other plots must be put aside for her.

Putting aside the plot, Gu Mingyue began to think about what she should do next.

In addition to building a house, Gu Mingyue plans to drop out of school. Yes, drop out!

It is now August 1958th, 8, and the original school will start on the 10th.

I will take Xiao Shitou to Harbin for a check-up in two days, and I can go to school to go through the withdrawal procedures on the way.

She knew how valuable college students were in this era, but when she learned that the original owner was taking the accounting exam, she felt uneasy.

After looking through the original owner's textbook with a hopeful hope, I finally gave up!

As far as I can remember, the original owner had studied limits, derivatives, definite integrals, etc. this semester.

The original owner had specially asked a senior student to borrow her study notes before going on holiday.

She also took a quick look and quickly closed her notebook after seeing something like "about how mathematical models are applied to finance."

She doesn’t understand, she doesn’t understand!!!

As a primary school student who was not good at advanced mathematics, the thought of the fear of being dominated by mathematics during those years...

Gu Mingyue decisively said sorry to the original owner in her heart!!!

She felt that there were some things she had to admit even if she didn't want to: learning really did depend on talent.

She is just an ordinary person, and her IQ won’t improve after traveling through time!

Even if she tried harder and harder, she still couldn't make up for the gap in IQ.

Even if she has the original owner's memories, this is not like the infusion of power in martial arts movies...

With inner strength she could fly and hide behind the ground. Her head said she knew it, but her hands said she couldn't work out the formula.

She didn't get into college that year, due to family reasons and also her own reasons.

Her tuition and living expenses are not enough, and her family is always struggling to make ends meet.

Obviously, the money she used to buy a pair of shoes for her brother was enough to pay her tuition.

But they had to wait until she asked for it again and again before they would give it to her, even throwing and beating her.

If she hadn't called the police and reported that her family was abusing her and not sending her to school, the whole city would have known about it.

Perhaps that family will no longer care about her after nine years of compulsory education.

Even so, every school start is like a nightmare.

Not wanting to see those people's faces, she would either pick up bottles or look for a part-time job in her spare time.

Because I’m not old enough, many of the part-time jobs I find can only be done for one or two days.

After finally finding a long-term job, I am always deliberately given the wrong job and my salary is deducted.

I don't eat enough and sleep well every day, and I don't have a genius brain. I'm going through a lot...

Her life was not going as she wished and her studies were not making progress. At that time, she felt that living was really difficult.

Gradually, she lost motivation for life and study. She was not good at any subject. For Chinese and English, she could only get 150 or even 130 out of 140.

Mathematics? Not to mention passing, she only got 50 points because she guessed a lot on the multiple-choice questions.

It’s still hard to recall now.

Of course, she could also change her major.

But when the school asked her why, what did she say? Did she say she was not interested? What was she thinking when she applied for the exam?

To be honest, are you not good at math?

The original owner had always been at the top of the class in school, but her IQ dropped during a holiday? It's unbelievable!

It doesn't make sense.

Even if the school finally agrees, the thought of living, studying and living with strangers is overwhelming.

In her previous life, after she earned money, she also signed up for the adult self-taught exam and went to school with great enthusiasm.

But I found that I was no longer compatible with life in the ivory tower.

When I finally got my diploma, I just felt like I had made up for the regrets in my heart.

Moreover, she recalled some of the major and minor events of this time...

Not to mention the recent Dazu disaster, let’s just talk about the following three years of famine and the later ten years of movement.

No matter which stage, she feels that staying in the countryside is the best choice.

There is also the reason of small stones.

She could entrust Xiao Shitou to her eldest sister-in-law's family and ensure that he had enough food and clothing, so as not to break her promise to the original owner.

But after getting along with each other, she felt reluctant to leave.

When she was a child, her parents gave birth to her but did not raise her, so she understands more clearly what it feels like to live under someone else's roof.

To be pretentious, she had been caught in the rain herself, so she didn't want to tear up other people's umbrellas.

After comprehensive consideration and careful thought, dropping out of school is the best option.

Although it is a bit unfair to the original owner for her past efforts, she has to light the lamp and study hard again because of this guilt...

That is absolutely not allowed!

She would never sacrifice herself for others, this was the promise she had made to herself.
