Time Travel Article: Tool Man Rejects Plot

In the darkness of night, a figure was stealing through the village, followed by a dog.

"Shh." Realizing that Dandan was about to scream, Gu Mingyue hurriedly pinched its mouth.

After coaxing Xiao Shitou to sleep, Gu Mingyue was also very sleepy.

Since I came here, I have had a regular schedule and haven't stayed up late for a long time. Now I feel a little uncomfortable with it.

But there is no way, the cement bricks have not been placed yet.

Regardless of whether Dandan could understand or not, she said, "Here, I'll give you some jerky. Don't call me 'ang', or I won't give you any. Do you understand?"

Dandan took the dried meat. He knew this thing and it was delicious. But he ate it too hastily last time and didn’t eat enough.

This two-legged beast is really strange. Why does it still make noises when it has dried meat?

Gu Mingyue patted Dandan's head gently and said, "Don't roll your eyes at me."

Dandan pretended not to understand and held the dried meat in his mouth, it smelled really good.

After making sure that there was no one around, Gu Mingyue took out all the cement, bricks, sand and pebbles.

Finally, I thought about it and decided that building a house would be quick anyway.

I had to go to the city afterwards, so I took out the glass as well and placed it in a basket alone and set it there.

Dandan looked at the thing that appeared out of thin air in amazement, opened his mouth wide, and the jerky fell to the ground with a "pop".

Then he picked it up, was surprised, opened his mouth, and dropped it to the ground again...

Gu Mingyue glanced at it with disdain, "Silly dog."

This time Dandan understood and barked angrily. It was not a stupid dog.

Gu Mingyue quickly covered its mouth and said, "Okay, okay, you're not stupid. I'm stupid, why would I bother with a stupid dog?"

After saying that, he ignored the silly dog's struggle and pointed at the pile of things, "You just watch here tonight. I'm going back first. I'll pick you up tomorrow;

I'll give you two more pieces of dried meat, and I'll reward you with meat when you get home tomorrow. If you understand, bark."

Dandan’s triangular eyes are about to pop out!

Gu Mingyue finally reacted, "Oh, sorry, sorry, I forgot to let go."

Dandan probably understood that the biped was afraid of being discovered, so it whimpered twice at Gu Mingyue to express its strong dissatisfaction.

Gu Mingyue apologized again, "Oh, I was wrong. I really forgot. Tomorrow, I will definitely give you two more pieces of meat. You stay here by yourself. I'm going back to sleep."

Only after making sure that Dandan understood did Gu Mingyue leave with peace of mind.

When I passed by my uncle's house, I was so tempted by the aroma that I swallowed my saliva several times.

I smiled secretly, thinking that no one in my uncle's family would be able to sleep well tonight.

Hehehe, she is so mean.

That’s good. Otherwise, I would always be thinking about Gu Mingde. Now that I have the smell of meat to remind me, I can’t think of anything else.

This is indeed the fact. From top to bottom, everyone in my uncle's family dreamed of eating meat or on the way to eating meat that night.

Not only them, but also several families living nearby in the village did not sleep well that night.

I even dreamed of eating a pig's head in the middle of the night, and when I opened my eyes, I found that I was holding my wife's head...

Gu Mingyue, by her own efforts, caused resentment in almost the entire village.

The next day, Gu Mingyue got up before dawn because she had a lot of work to do today.

She first sorted out some clothes and sundries and put them into baskets.

When the time comes, the villagers can come and move the baskets.

She put all the valuables in the space, and ignored the remaining large items including pots, pans, and bowls.

It would be easier to just move these things directly, and by the way, let the villagers see what's at home, which could also dissuade some people from worrying too much.

After packing up her things, she went to the kitchen and started kneading the dough.

Before, there were 50 kilograms of millet, 500 kilograms of sorghum, 100 kilograms of rice and 500 kilograms of corn left in the house.

These are all approximate numbers, not too far off.

Since Gu Mingyue came here, she has kept these in the space.

Thinking that I would be staying at my uncle's house for the next two days, I had to prepare food, so I took out 10 kilograms of rice and 10 kilograms of corn.

The rice today is different from the rice she bought in later generations. Due to technological differences, it is not as clean as the rice in later generations and contains some stones and gravel.

Gu Mingyue discovered this when she was pouring the rice, and secretly reminded herself that if she needed to trade in the future, she would have to mix some of the current rice with the rice in the space.

This way it won't be abrupt.

While thinking about these things, his hands did not stop moving.

Nowadays, people in the village generally eat sorghum rice, cornmeal, and corn grits.

There is very little rice, and as for millet, only elderly people or pregnant women in the family will leave some.

As for white flour, making dumplings with it during festivals can make people miss it for the whole year.

Gu Mingyue didn't ask for any special treatment, but she didn't want to be too shabby either.

She poured more cornmeal and added a little white flour so that it would form a ball easily and not be too irritating to the throat.

After working all morning, I made a whole pot of pancakes.

Afterwards, she put all the pancakes in the pot and let them simmer in the residual heat so that they would not become hard when she ate them at noon.

No breakfast was made this morning. Gu Mingyue scooped two bowls of soy milk from the space, soaked a fried dough stick in it, and peeled an egg for each of them. Then she woke up Xiao Shitou.

I told him that we had to clean up the house today and we would stay at my uncle's house for the rest of the days. Little Stone just asked, "Is Aunt going too?"

Gu Mingyue nodded, "Of course, Auntie wants to be with Xiao Shitou."

Hearing this, Xiao Shitou shook his head happily, and then didn't ask any more questions and drank the soy milk obediently.

He thought that all the white things were milk, but the taste was different today. He looked up and said, "Aunt, this tastes different from milk."

"This is called soy milk. It's made from ground beans. Does it taste good?" Gu Mingyue explained.

Little Stone nodded. "It tastes good. It tastes good."

Gu Mingyue suddenly remembered that the malted milk she bought yesterday was still stored in the space, and she hadn’t tasted it yet.

The more she thought about it, the greedier she became, so under Xiao Shitou's puzzled gaze, she pretended to open the cabinet and actually smuggled out a can of malted milk from the space.

I opened it and made a cup. Hmm, it had a hint of caramel aroma.

After tasting it, it wasn't amazing, but it was delicious. I didn't brew too much, just a small bowl, she drank half and Xiao Shitou drank the other half.

The little guy even sighed seriously, "Auntie, there are too many delicious drinks, and Little Stone's stomach can't hold them all."

"Pfft..." Gu Mingyue couldn't help laughing. "It's okay. You'll digest it after walking a few more steps. Put the eggs in your pocket and eat them when you're hungry."

Then she reminded him, "Little Stone, Auntie taught you, if someone asks you what we eat at home, what do you say?"

Little Stone blinked his big eyes and said, "I ate yellow paste and eggs."

"Then what if someone asks you if you eat meat?"

"I'd say I haven't eaten it yet, so I'll wait until Chinese New Year to eat it with my aunt."

Hearing this, Gu Mingyue felt relieved and praised him, "Little Stone is awesome and smart."

While they were talking, her sister-in-law came over and glared at her sadly as she entered the door.

Gu Mingyue was stunned for a moment, then reacted and teased her, "Sister-in-law, did you meet Pighead in your dream last night?"

It would have been fine if she hadn't said anything. Once she did, Liu Caixia got even angrier. She raised her hand fiercely and finally spanked her lightly on the butt. "I think you're really a girl who will tear the roof off the house if you don't punish her for three days."

Gu Mingyue pretended to scream, and Xiao Shitou rushed forward to protect her. The sister-in-law deliberately tickled his spots, making the little guy sweat with joy.

While they were playing, people from the village came over to help.

As people gradually gathered, Gu Mingyue stood up and said to everyone, "I'm sorry to bother you all today. Don't leave after you finish your work. Let's eat here.

My sister-in-law stewed the pig's head last night. There's no white flour buns, but there are plenty of corn buns. You must come, or I will come to your door."

Aunt Gu knew about the pig's head when she was in the car yesterday, but it was not as real as smelling the meat.

I dreamed about meat all night last night, and when I woke up in the morning my pillowcase was wet.

She said loudly, "How can I not come? I have been smelling it all night, and now I am so greedy that everyone I see looks like a pig."

"Haha..." Everyone was used to Fourth Aunt Gu's outspokenness and knew she meant no harm, but they still teased her, "Fourth Aunt, just don't treat Fourth Brother like a pig on the kang."

Aunt Gu grabbed the person who was talking and started to beat him up, "You little bastard, I told you to talk nonsense, I'll beat you up."

The person who was beaten was the eldest son of village accountant Gu Mingxin, Gu Guangyao, 25 years old, married with a son and a daughter.

Even though he has already started a family and a career, he is still nonchalant and can flirt with anyone, except, of course, Gu Mingyue.

Although he is older than this little aunt, he is of a higher generation and is under the control of his father. He has listened to several of her lectures, which makes him unconsciously restrain himself in front of Gu Mingyue.

But in the eyes of other people, even their own wives, they are still not decent.

His favorite elder is Gu Laoliu. Although they are different in generation and age, it does not prevent them from becoming close friends regardless of age difference.

One can imagine what kind of reputation this person has in the village.

The village accountant Gu Mingxin is also here today. He is the fifth in the clan, so Gu Mingyue has to call him Fifth Brother.

Gu Mingyue didn't have much contact with him normally, but in her impression, he was a man of few words, with a serious personality, and who worked seriously and carefully.

Therefore, all the accounts of the village, big or small, have always been in his charge.

Perhaps he was used to the kind of person his son was, so he was indifferent when he saw his son being punished.

I even felt it was an eyesore and moved a few steps to the side.

Gu Mingyue, who noticed this, burst out laughing. She felt that this fifth brother was more interesting than she had imagined, and she felt sympathy for his son.

This son must be so useless that he is despised by his old father...
