Time Travel Article: Tool Man Rejects Plot

"Auntie, it smells so good!"

Gu Mingyue ate a bowl of egg custard as soon as she woke up. When she smelled the fragrance, she felt a little hungry!

I originally wanted to wait for my sister-in-law to eat together, but when I saw Xiao Shitou staring at the basin eagerly, I decided to forget it and eat first.

Considering the current shortage of supplies, every family can only eat simple meals.

Refined rice and flour can only be eaten during festivals.

Even if she asked her sister-in-law to eat it, she probably wouldn't eat it.

Although she has the memories of the original owner, she inevitably treats people according to the standards of later generations.

I secretly reminded myself not to be extravagant in the future.

After bringing the noodles into the house, Gu Mingyue served a large bowl to each of her and Xiao Shitou.

She let Xiao Shitou's bowl cool down a bit and handed it to him before she started eating.

Well, not bad, the skills are stable.

I glanced at Little Stone and found that the little guy's face was about to burrow into the bowl. "Little Stone, eat slowly."

"Auntie, this is the most delicious noodles I have ever eaten."

"Haha, really? Then eat more, little stone."

Gu Mingyue’s cooking skills are just at home-cooked standard, but people are more frugal when cooking nowadays.

Every household uses oil by just taking a piece of gauze and wiping the pot symbolically.

How can someone like Gu Mingyue pour some sesame oil on her noodles? How can it not taste good?

Big eyes and small stomach refers to Gu Mingyue and Xiao Shitou, whose belly is already bulging but whose eyes are still fixed on the basin.

Gu Mingyue overestimated the stomach capacity of the original owner and Xiao Shitou.

There is still more than half of the basin left untouched. I estimated it would be enough for tomorrow. Alas, I miscalculated!

Fortunately, there is still space, otherwise in this weather, it would have gone bad in the middle of the night.

Take the dishes to the kitchen, wash them and put them in the cupboard.

I put the wash basin into the space while Little Stone wasn't paying attention, and then took the little guy for a walk in the yard to help him digest his food.

The little guy looked very happy, sometimes going to the chicken coop and sometimes to the backyard vegetable garden.

After walking a few steps, she would look back to see if her aunt was behind her. Once she was sure that she was still there, she would smile with joy.

In the distance, families started to cook, with smoke rising up, facing the afterglow of the setting sun, accompanied by the laughter of children playing in the yard...

The peaceful years are just like this!

Gu Mingyue's spirit after traveling through time seemed to relax all of a sudden.

Really crossed!

From now on she is Gu Mingyue, the Gu Mingyue of 1958!

Liu Caixia finally cleaned up the dirty house built by her grandfather and grandson.

I noticed that the sun was about to set, and I was worried about the bright moon.

The family was still working in the fields, so she prepared the meal in advance and walked towards Mingyue's house.

"Mingyue, why are you out?"

"Sister-in-law is here," Gu Mingyue greeted, "I ate a lot tonight, so I'm going to walk around the yard to digest it."

"Being able to eat is a blessing. What's the harm in eating too much? You're just getting better. Go back to your room and rest. The doctor told you to rest."

Liu Caixia muttered to herself as she helped Mingyue walk into the house.

Seeing that Xiao Shitou was sweating profusely, he rushed to get a towel to wipe his sweat.

This kind of care from an elder made Gu Mingyue, who had never felt such a feeling before, feel at a loss for a moment.

Gu Mingyue felt touched and also felt strange. She was in a trance for a rare moment.

Following the strength of the elder sister-in-law supporting her, she walked into the house together and listened to her continue to say, "Mingyue, don't think that elder sister-in-law nags you. You are still young and don't know the importance of taking care of your body.

When you get older, all kinds of problems will come to you, and you will be miserable then."

When little Shitou heard what his aunt said, he quickly dodged the hand that was wiping his sweat.

She ran to Gu Mingyue and said worriedly, "Aunt, Aunt, please don't get sick. If you get sick, you will feel uncomfortable and take medicine. It will be bitter."

Gu Mingyue touched his wet little head and said, "Auntie is fine."

She took the towel from her sister-in-law's hand and continued to wipe him.

I didn't notice it before, mainly because she really doesn't have much experience in taking care of children.

So she asked, "Sister-in-law, Xiao Shitou is sweating so much, won't he catch a cold?"

The eldest sister-in-law skillfully took out clothes from the closet for Little Stone to change into. "It's okay. It's hot now. Just change him into clean clothes to cool down the sweat. Just don't let him get blown by the wind. If it's cold, you have to be more careful."

Gu Mingyue was relieved. She gave Little Stone a building block to play with by himself at the end of the kang. She turned to Liu Caixia and said, "Sister-in-law, since you mentioned being sick, I also have something to tell you."

"What's the matter?"

"My mother used to take Xiao Shitou to the city for a checkup every year. These two days are the checkup days, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to take Xiao Shitou to have a checkup."

Liu Caixia was a little worried. "You're going to take him there by yourself?"

Gu Mingyue said helplessly, "Sister-in-law, I go to college alone, so it's nothing. I just need your help to take care of my family."

"Well, that's nothing, don't worry, I'm at home, but you really don't need to find someone to accompany you;

Guangsheng's grandmother was ill and missed the child, so she asked him to stay over there for two days, but he disappeared in the afternoon. How about I ask him to come back and accompany you?"

My eldest sister-in-law has two sons. Gu Guangliang is 21 years old. As he is the eldest in the family, he has a more stable personality.

He joined the army at the age of 16, and I heard that he has been promoted to platoon leader now.

The younger son is more unusual. Gu Guangsheng is 17 years old and in his third year of high school, and his grades fluctuate greatly.

The extent of the increase depends on whether the eldest brother and sister-in-law play mixed doubles or alone.

Because he was close in age to the original owner, the original owner had a good relationship with him.

The original owner advised him to study hard and go to college, but he wanted to quickly end his painful student days.

Graduate early and start working early, so that you won’t be scolded by your parents every time you come home from an exam.

The poor child probably doesn’t know that when his parents want to beat him, it doesn’t matter his age, work or time.

Gu Mingyue asked, "How is Guangsheng's study going recently?"

Liu Caixia thought of her youngest son's terrible grades. "Not very good. That kid is so unruly. I don't know who this kid inherited his personality from. He is so unruly every day."

"I think Guangsheng has a good personality, sister-in-law, don't always be so strict with him."

Liu Caixia sighed, "Your elder brother and I have been so strict with him and we still can't control him. If we don't take care of him anymore, I don't know if he will get into trouble.

Forget it, let your elder brother worry about it. I thought about it and I think I would be even more worried if Guangsheng went with you."

Gu Mingyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Sister-in-law, Guangsheng is not that bad. I remember that after the incident at home, Guangsheng would come to accompany me whenever he was free.

And the time you sprained your ankle in the field, Guangsheng was only ten years old at the time, but he carried you to the village clinic on his back, and he didn’t complain even though his foot was rubbed.”

Liu Caixia thought of her youngest son’s tragic condition. Her foot had recovered, but her youngest son’s foot injury had not yet healed. “Alas, I believe in that child’s character. That’s it, that’s it…”

Gu Mingyue took over the conversation and said, "I just feel so disappointed that I can't make up for my shortcomings."

"Yes, yes, that's why college students talk differently."

Gu Mingyue laughed.

This may be the unique way most Chinese parents raise their children: they express dislike for their children in words but worry about them in their hearts.

"Sister-in-law, I want to build a house."

"Just build it." Liu Caixia replied casually.

After realizing what was happening, she exclaimed, "Build a house!" After getting confirmation, she frowned and asked, "Why did you think of this?"

"Don't be impatient, sister-in-law. Just listen to me first."

Gu Mingyue patted the back of her hand and said soothingly, "When my father built this house, there were several families around. Since we heard that wild boars came down from the hill next door, my family is the only one left.

The most important thing is that people in the surrounding villages probably know about what happened at home. My uncle's house is far away, and I believe that group of scoundrels will come to the door in a few days.

This is just the superficial trouble. There is no petty theft in our village, but there are some in other villages. Little Stone and I are the only ones at home, so we are too weak. "

Noticing that Liu Caixia wanted to speak, Gu Mingyue did not give her a chance to continue, “I know that my sister-in-law wants me to go home;

I also know that my uncle and the others really welcome Xiao Shitou and me, but sister-in-law, this is not a long-term plan.

There is no place like home, no place like home. You can live there for one, two, three or four years, but it is not your home.

I'm going to say something you may not like to hear, but even if they are biological children, there are still conflicts between them, not to mention that affection is something that can't stand being worn away."

Gu Mingyue noticed that her eldest sister-in-law looked unhappy, so she changed the subject, "Of course I know that you, eldest sister-in-law, will not do that, but that doesn't mean others won't do that. Let alone others, it's hard to say for the third sister-in-law. Will the eldest sister-in-law watch me suffer?"

Liu Caixia glared, "Of course not."

"What about the third brother? If there is a conflict between me and the third sister-in-law, who do you think the eldest sister-in-law will side with?"

Liu Caixia was silent this time.

Gu Mingyue first criticized and then praised her to divert the conflict, and successfully brainwashed her sister-in-law.

So she said, "Sister-in-law, people change. Maybe in the future I will become someone you don't like."

Liu Caixia pretended to hit her and said, "You are just talking nonsense."

Gu Mingyue smiled and sat next to her sister-in-law, hugging her arm. "Sister-in-law, you loved Guangsheng so much when you were little, but now, you hate him so much that your teeth itch."

Noticing her hands' movements, she quickly suppressed them and said, "So, sister-in-law, I'm going to build my own house. But I've decided to build this house next to yours. What do you think, sister-in-law?"

Liu Caixia finally realized that she had been tricked by this little girl, but she was reluctant to hit her...

I could only tap her forehead with my hand and said, "Okay, you're joking with your sister-in-law."

"Hehe..." Gu Mingyue pretended not to understand and smiled foolishly.

Liu Caixia sighed secretly.

She knew in her heart that since the child had said it, he had already made up his mind.

Besides, she also knew that Mingyue's words made sense.

She stopped trying to persuade him and asked, "So what are you going to do with this house?"

"Demolished!"

"Tear it down!" Liu Caixia shouted loudly.
