Time Travel Article: Tool Man Rejects Plot

After a busy morning, the breakfast I had is almost digested.

Gu Mingyue poured a glass of milk and a boiled egg for herself and Xiao Shitou.

In fact, the original owner and Xiao Shitou were relatively well-fed in this era.

It’s just that supplies are in short supply, it’s hard to get enough to eat, let alone nutrition.

Nowadays, eggs are the best nutritional supplement, but they cannot be eaten every day, so every household has to save them.

The income from selling eggs is one of the main sources of family income for farmers.

Second only to collectively distributed labor income.

Don't underestimate this little money, it can solve a large expense in a family's daily life.

I can buy oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and if my family has children who go to school...

This money can also be used to buy paper, pens and other school supplies for children.

That’s why there is a saying “open a bank in a chicken’s ass”.

Gu Mingyue herself is not a person who likes to eat, but perhaps because she was treated harshly in her early years, she is very obsessed with food.

In my previous life, I went to work in the south. When I first started working on the assembly line, I was not familiar with the business and earned little.

In theory, the factory provides food and accommodation, and after deducting insurance, the more than 5,000 yuan left is enough for living.

She doesn't buy cosmetics or clothes, so she should have a lot left.

No!

Apart from setting aside one thousand yuan every month, she spent every penny on food.

Every time I have a holiday, I will go to the shops with high food reviews to taste the food, which is extremely pleasant.

Now that time and space have changed, this obsession remains unchanged.

Even though conditions were limited, she never missed a meal and ensured that the three meals a day were nutritionally balanced.

Of course, I also want to give Xiao Shitou some nourishment.

Gu Mingyue herself was fine. She had a hunch that as long as the space absorbed the jade, some of the energy would be fed back to her.

Not sure whether it can be upgraded to "internal strength" in the end, but health is beyond doubt.

You have to know that the original owner was suffering from sudden death, but when he woke up, he felt weak all over and his limbs ached...

The fact that he can fight against an adult without any aftereffects is a testament to his abilities.

Xiao Shitou is different. He was born prematurely and has taken a lot of Chinese medicine over the years.

Even if those medicines are prescribed according to children's dosage, all medicines are toxic.

His body now looks like he is no more than five years old and is a little thin.

From the moment Gu Mingyue decided to take good care of Xiao Shitou, she had been giving him supplements intentionally or unintentionally.

I don’t understand anything else, but I must have eggs and milk every day. “Little Stone, come here. I haven’t had milk today.”

The little guy opened his eyes wide and said, "Auntie, is there another delicious drink?"

"Well, didn't Little Stone say he wanted to protect his aunt? If you drink this, you will grow up quickly and become tall and strong."

"Like Master Guan?"

The Uncle Guan mentioned by Xiao Shitou is a hunter in the mountains.

During the census that year, it was found that there was still one person living in the mountains.

I heard that he fled to the mountains during the war, got injured, and forgot everything.

Subconsciously, I kept reminding myself not to go out, probably because I was afraid of the war outside.

So I have never left the mountain for all these years.

When the staff showed up, he thought they were there to arrest him. After some explanation, he realized that the situation outside had been peacefully liberated.

Finally, based on the household registration certificate he carried with him, we learned that his name was Guan Youliang and he was the only one at home.

The tribe leader agreed to let him settle down in the village, and everyone started calling him Guan the Hunter.

Guan Youliang was very tall and strong, like an iron tower. He said that this might be because he hunted for meat in the mountains.

He doesn't like to dress up much and looks a bit mature.

The children in the village were a little afraid of him and called him Uncle Guan when they saw him, but in fact he was not even forty years old.

Speaking of which, the original owner still owed this Uncle Guan a favor.

When the original owner's mother fell ill and needed tonic, the original owner thought of going up the mountain to dig ginseng.

But she had no experience and not only got lost but also fell into a trap.

Fortunately, he met Uncle Guan who went up the mountain to hunt, and was saved.

Afterwards, Uncle Guan asked his uncle to pass on a twenty-year-old wild ginseng to the original owner.

The original owner later gave him money, but he only asked for 10 yuan symbolically.

The original owner had always wanted to repay the family, and then her nephew was sent back home, and she lived in the school dormitory...

This matter has been delayed until now.

Gu Mingyue felt that this relationship should be maintained when possible.

By the way, ask Uncle Guan if he has any wild ginseng. It’s a good thing.

There are leeks in the private plot in the backyard of her home, and she wants to eat dumplings for lunch.

So I took Xiao Shitou with me and picked leeks while playing, then washed them and dried them.

I beat four eggs and prepared to fry them. Little Stone was standing by, eager to try.

She didn't discourage his enthusiasm and watched over him carefully.

Unexpectedly, the little guy was quite skilled, but Gu Mingyue still reminded him, "Little Stone, you promised your aunt that if your aunt is not around, you can't light a fire by yourself, and you can't light a fire for others."

Little Stone was a little reluctant and said, "I want to help my aunt."

Gu Mingyue wiped his cat-like face and said, "Aunt knows, but Xiao Shitou is worried about Aunt, and Aunt is also worried about Xiao Shitou. If you get hurt, Aunt will also feel distressed, just like this..."

Gu Mingyue pretended to hold her heart and cried.

Little Stone believed it and quickly came to her side and said, "Auntie, Auntie, don't cry. I know I was wrong."

Gu Mingyue's expression changed in a second and she accepted it.

She held up her little finger and said, "The little stone makes a pinky promise with Auntie. If you make a pinky promise, you can't change it for a hundred years."

Noticing that he was still a little depressed, Gu Mingyue comforted him, "Little Shitou, eat more and you will grow up quickly, so you can help your aunt."

"Well, little Shitou must eat well."

After frying the eggs, Gu Mingyue pretended to take some flour out from the cupboard, but actually smuggled it out from the space.

While the dough was kneading and resting, she started to chop vegetables and prepare stuffing with nimble hands.

The chive and egg filling is very easy to prepare, and only salt is needed to make the whole filling come alive.

Moreover, the technology of today's leeks is very different from that of later generations——

Pure natural, no additives!

I took a bite and it was, hmm, delicious!

Gu Mingyue deliberately packed more, put some of it in the space, and cooked and ate some of it immediately.

It really makes my eyebrows drop!

After dinner, she coaxed little Shitou to sleep, then gently picked him up and brought him to the original owner's mother's room.

She returned to the room and prepared to pack up the original owner's things.

The most eye-catching thing in the original owner's house was the piles of books placed on the kang cabinet.

The original owner kept books for every grade, including elementary school, junior high school, and high school.

There are also some extracurricular reading materials, magazines and novels.

The books are kept clean and tidy, and you can tell at first glance that he is a book lover.

Gu Mingyue put a few magazines into the space and packed the rest, ready to give to the villagers when the time comes.

When I saw that notebook, I was afraid that I would forget it, so I also sent it to my space separately.

I will go back to school in a few days to complete the formalities and return it to the owner.

Then there are the original owner’s clothes.

The original owner's mother was worried that her daughter would be laughed at if she didn't dress well when going out, so she saved up some cloth coupons and almost all of them were given to the original owner to make clothes.

The original owner had a lot of clothes, and few of them were patched.

No wonder Chen Zhaodi was jealous of the original owner.

You have to know that these days, many people's clothes are full of patches, and what's worse, there are several people in a family who only have one piece of clothing or one pair of pants.

When it's time to go out, the rest of the family lies naked in bed, and the family members take turns putting on the clothes to go out.

Most of the clothes in the house were hand-sewn by the original owner's mother, and the original owner learned a little from her.

But the craftsmanship is not as good as the original owner’s.

When Gu Mingyue was a child in the countryside, she had to take care of everything by herself.

Including sewing clothes, her skills are about the same as the original owner.

But she can operate a sewing machine because she used to work in a textile factory.

After thinking about it, I added a sewing machine to the shopping list.

It’s not that I have a mysophobia and can’t wear other people’s clothes.

In her impression, the original owner's family all loved cleanliness, which was what she was most grateful for.

If I were to travel through time and have fleas on my body, the thought of that would make my scalp tingle.

The reason I want to buy a sewing machine is that it will be more convenient for me to do manual work at home in the future.

Secondly, she wanted to make clothes that suit her.

Most of the original owner's clothes were in delicate small floral patterns or bright red plaids, which were popular styles nowadays.

But she still prefers simpler styles.

She also planned to find an opportunity to bury the original owner's clothes in the mountains and bury them together with the original owner's family.

It can also be considered as a cenotaph for them so that their family can be reunited.

I hope that in the next life, their family will still be together.

They say 'a broken home is worth a fortune'!

Gu Mingyue spent the whole afternoon cleaning up, but still hadn't finished.

I feel like I've been busy for the whole afternoon but haven't accomplished anything. Oh, I'm so tired!
