Time Travel Article: Tool Man Rejects Plot

While I was thinking, the millet porridge in the pot was already bubbling...

Take out two salted duck eggs from the space, cut them into quarters and place them on a plate.

Seeing two lumps of pickled cabbage in the cupboard, Gu Mingyue took one out and cut it into shreds.

Add some sesame oil, minced garlic and coriander, taste it, and that’s it. I forgot to soak it in water, it’s so choking.

Considering that nowadays, people rarely soak the vegetable dumplings in water before eating them.

Two shreds of pickled vegetables with a bowl of rice soup make a meal.

If people knew that someone mixed it with sesame oil and ate it, the reputation of being a spendthrift would spread to the surrounding area the next day.

Gu Mingyue doesn't care about reputation, because that thing can't be eaten.

However, living in this era where people are proud of being poor farmers for eight generations, she still has to follow the trend of the times.

Be low-key and do things secretly!

I forgot whether Xiao Shitou went to the toilet by himself last night. Gu Mingyue was worried that he might wet the kang, so she carefully brought the food to Xiao Shitou's face and blew on it...

The pickled cabbage lumps can kill the salt seller, and the aroma of sesame oil is irresistible.

Sure enough, after a while, Little Stone's nose moved.

Then his mouth moved and he opened his eyes hazily.

He noticed that his aunt was standing next to him with a pot of something delicious.

The confused eyes suddenly cleared up, "Aunt, what is this?"

"Auntie made something delicious for you. Little Stone, do you want to smell it?"

"It smells so good, it's so good that Little Stone's nose is about to fall off."

"Haha..." Gu Mingyue laughed and picked the little guy up from the quilt, "Little Stone, hurry up and eat it, so your nose won't fall off."

"it is good."

After Xiao Shitou went to the toilet by himself, Gu Mingyue helped him wipe his face.

Based on yesterday's "lesson learned", Gu Mingyue served each of them two-thirds of the bowl of porridge.

I peeled the duck eggs and put them in a small stone bowl. I was afraid that they would be too salty for him, so I added a piece of pickled vegetable to make it taste better.

Gu Mingyue was glad that Xiao Shitou would eat everything now, otherwise she was not sure if she could take good care of him.

Today's breakfast was prepared just right, and when we finished eating, the sky was already bright.

Thinking that my sister-in-law should have finished her meal by now, I decided to go to my brother and ask him about the homestead.

Before you go out, take the basket of eggs from the cupboard with you.

Holding little stone and walking on the dirt road in the village, recalling the memories of the original owner.

There are less than 200 people in Gujia Village now, and 80% of them have the surname Gu.

According to the clan leader, who is also her uncle, the origin of the Gu family can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty.

According to records, the Gu clan was once a prominent family, but they were affected by the power transition and the entire clan was exiled here from the capital.

They suffered a lot on the way, and when they arrived at the destination, only one third of the tribe was left.

The remaining members of the tribe settled down here, multiplied little by little, and gradually formed Gujia Village.

Gujia Village is more than 20 kilometers away from the town, which takes five or six hours to walk. If you walk slowly, it may even take most of the day.

It is the most remote village in Qingshan Town.

Qingshan Town is named after its continuous mountains and is close to the Lesser Khingan Mountains.

Gujia Village is located in the valley of the mountains and is surrounded by mountains on all sides.

Many nearby villages were massacred during the war.

Although Gujia Village suffered heavy damage, it escaped disaster because it was close to the mountains.

The villagers are more familiar with the situation in the mountains.

When the artillery fire came, the clan leader decided: each family would leave one incense stick behind, and the remaining young and middle-aged men would all stay to resist the foreign enemies and buy time for the elderly, women and children in the village.

This is how they managed to survive the war.

However, since then, there are only a few young and middle-aged people left in each family.

Gradually, many people who fled famine came to the village to make a living, and they settled down there after feeling the simple customs of the people.

My second sister-in-law was abandoned by her family when they were fleeing famine. By chance, she was picked up by my second brother who was away from home and taken home.

After that, the two fell in love and got married.

The people in charge of Gujia Village are all surnamed Gu, so the Gu family has a lot of say in the village.

But they have always been fair and have never bullied others.

Whether people with the surname Gu or those with other surnames, they all have a strong sense of belonging to Gujia Village.

The people in Gujia Village are relatively harmonious, not caring about trivial matters.

Although Gu Mingyue comes out early, at this time, people usually get up at the crowing of the cock and go to bed at the sunset.

Many diligent people had already arrived at the field. When they noticed the aunt and nephew, they all came forward to ask about their concern.

Gu Mingyue greeted him back generously.

During this period, Gu Mingyue also met several people with gray hair who called her "little sister"...

She also responded awkwardly but politely. There was nothing she could do about it since the original owner was of a higher generation.

However, Gu Mingyue was still not quite used to the change in identity, so her pace quickened.

When she saw her uncle's house, she breathed a sigh of relief. They had finally arrived.

My uncle's house is one of the few blue brick and tile houses in the village, and it was passed down from our ancestors.

After it was burned during the war, my uncle repaired it bit by bit.

Fortunately, the damage to the house was not serious.

Apart from a few remaining traces of burns, it has been repaired by the family over the years and is now in brand new condition.

Not only that, several new rooms were built in the yard.

My uncle always says that life is good and prosperous now and he should thank the country.

Gu Mingyue pushed open the door and shouted loudly, imitating the local greeting method, "Uncle, are you home? I'm Mingyue, come in."

After saying that, he walked towards the courtyard.

It's hot now, and families usually eat in the yard.

When Gu Mingyue went in, her uncle Gu Guoqiang was smoking a pipe, and her elder brother Gu Mingwei was sitting next to him and talking.

The second brother, Gu Mingzhong, was weaving something with grass, and a little girl was standing beside him, staring at him eagerly.

The eldest sister-in-law Liu Caixia and the second sister-in-law Li Xiuhe were cleaning the table.

Gu Mingyue greeted everyone one by one, uncle, elder brother, elder sister-in-law, second brother, second sister-in-law...

At this time, two identical boys walked out from the main room, saw her and stepped forward stiffly, calling her "Auntie."

The two boys, one named Gu Guangrong and the other named Gu Guangcan, are twins from my second brother’s family and are 13 years old this year.

The little girl next to the second brother is his youngest daughter, Gu Guangxin, 7 years old, nicknamed Xinxin.

The little girl was well-raised, plump and fair. She called "Auntie" in a crisp voice, but walked forward happily pulling the little stone.

The little stone shyly started to play with the little girl.

Yes, the two little guys are of similar age and probably played together a lot.

The embroidery on the little girl's clothes is exactly the same as the little tiger on Little Stone's body.

It's just that the little tiger turned into a little kitten.

Not to mention, the little girl's eyes look like my second sister-in-law, with big cat-like eyes and thick eyelashes, as if she had her own eyeliner, making her look particularly smart and lively.

My second sister-in-law’s cat eyes look gentler.

So, could it be that the second brother was 'lusted by her beauty' and that's why he picked up the second sister-in-law and brought her home?

If Second Brother Gu knew about this, he would definitely cry out for justice, because when he was saving people, his wife had already fainted.

At that time, she was covered in mud and dirt, and her hair looked like it had been chewed by a dog, so he thought she was a man.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken it home directly on his back. He was surprised that after washing it, it turned into a living person.

Of course, he was mostly showing off because his wife was so nice to him.

Gu Mingyue had no idea that her second brother was secretly showing off his affection.

But she knew that her second brother and his wife had a very good relationship.

Over the years, the second sister-in-law has also helped a lot with the original owner's family affairs.

If it were any other family, a rift would have arisen long ago, but my uncle's family has never had any conflicts because of this.

Perhaps influenced by the time she fled famine, my second sister-in-law is very respectful to her family members.

She seemed to like this simple life centered around her family, not liking to visit other people's homes or gossip.

In addition to working in the fields every day, she and her elder sister-in-law take care of general household chores that require women, and her elder sister-in-law is responsible for the outside affairs while she takes care of the inside affairs.

If my sister-in-law is like plum blossom, she is strong and courageous.

The second sister-in-law gave people the feeling of apricot blossom, simple yet gentle.

My uncle's family has already split up, but they still live and eat together.

The original owner's mother mentioned that the reason why her uncle split up the family was to take the third oldest child out of the family.

It seems that the original owner's third brother married into the family of a girl who was three years older than him for the sake of a job in the town.

If the uncle hadn't threatened to sever ties with them, none of their children would have the surname Gu.

The original owner had an average relationship with the third brother who was like a married woman.

It’s not that there are conflicts, it’s more likely that they just can’t get along.

How can I describe this third brother? In modern terms, he is an extreme individualist.

Although Gu Mingyue is selfish, she will not sell out herself or others for profit.

She can proudly say that everything she has is earned through hard work.

Of course, we have to take into account the plug-in of space, but who says luck is not a kind of strength?

Third brother Gu Mingde is not.

He can sell anything for profit, but fortunately he still has some filial piety, although not much.

I heard that in order to not break off the relationship, he once said proudly, "If the child doesn't have the surname Gu, he won't marry her."

This made the uncle feel that his son could still be saved, so he simply divided the family property but did not kick him out.

Gu Mingyue and this third brother are half the same kind of people, but she thinks Gu Mingde might be more concerned about face.

No, Gu Mingyue suddenly remembered that the third brother’s daughter was called Gu Guangmei.

But there is no person named Gu Guangmei in the novel, but there is a female supporting role named Lu Guangmei?

She remembered a scene where the heroine met the father of the female supporting role, and the greeting seemed to be "Uncle Gu! ? ?

Gu Mingyue narrowed her eyes. Was it just a coincidence? Or did she remember it wrong?

As a plot tool, she will not let go of any hidden danger!

It seems that I should recall the plot carefully when I have time.
