Time Travel Article: Tool Man Rejects Plot

Little Shitou was very happy at first when he learned that he had a room of his own.

I was overjoyed the last second.

The next second, joy turns into sorrow!

Because Gu Mingyue told him that he would sleep alone from now on.

The little guy asked with tears in his eyes, "Auntie, can I refuse?"

Gu Mingyue coaxed him helplessly, "Be good, little Shitou, we are brave men, and men always sleep alone."

"Then can I stop being a man before I go to sleep?"

Gu Mingyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Of course not."

The little guy said, "Auntie is not a man, so you can sleep with me."

Gu Mingyue tapped his little head and said angrily, "You little rascal, you are obsessed with your aunt, right? There is no room for negotiation on this matter. Other children want to sleep alone, but they don't have the conditions to do so. You really don't know how to appreciate your blessings."

"Why?" Little Stone asked when his attention was diverted.

"Because not everyone's home is as spacious as ours. Do you remember when your aunt took you on a train, there were so many people squeezed together. Would you feel uncomfortable?"

Little Stone instantly recalled the scene of being squeezed, patted his chest, and nodded with lingering fear, "It was so crowded, it almost squeezed me out."

"Some families are like that, with so many people crammed together that they can't even stretch their legs. Sometimes they have to sleep upside down. Imagine opening your eyes and facing your brother Guangsheng's stinky feet..."

The young man is very energetic, and Guangsheng is very active. Once he takes off his shoes, the sour and refreshing feeling is so irritating to the eyes that it can really make you cry.

Xiao Shitou was once taken care of by Guangsheng and suffered greatly from him.

After hearing what Gu Mingyue said, his face wrinkled like an old man, and he covered his nose and shouted "Stinky."

Gu Mingyue spread her hands and said, "So, you don't know how lucky you are. If other kids knew that you can sleep in a whole room by yourself, they would be so envious."

Ever since Gu Mingyue allowed him to go out and play, Xiao Shitou has actually made some good friends with whom he can play well.

The child is still young and at the age where he can’t hide things.

It was obvious that the little guy was already daydreaming and was ready to go out and show off, his little teeth were popping out unconsciously.

There will be no satisfaction without comparison, and children are no exception to this law.

Accompany Xiao Shitou to play with toys in his room.

Let him learn to fold his clothes and put them in the closet by himself, and point out the location of other things.

Gradually let him develop a sense of belonging to this room.

Gu Mingyue pointed at the crayons on the table and said, "Let's draw a few more pictures and put them up in the house."

Then he pointed to the wall and said, "Hang the photo of you and your aunt here so that Xiao Shitou can see it every day when he wakes up. What do you think?"

Little Stone answered reluctantly, "Okay..."

I don't like to toss at night.

I boiled a pot of water and steamed two meat buns and two vegetarian buns, and paired them with the ready-made century egg and lean meat porridge in the space to make a meal.

Early the next morning, Gu Mingyue got up and did some stretching exercises in the yard.

Then he took out a copper coin and stretched out his arm with his palm facing down.

Place the coin on the front of your knuckle, throw it upward, and try to catch it quickly with your other hand.

Once you have mastered this movement, you can move on to the next step.

Let the coin fall freely and try to catch it right before it hits the ground.

This is a training method for practicing reaction speed in boxing training - coin tossing training.

But she exchanged it for copper coins and found it by dismantling the shuttlecock at home.

This kind of training was taught to her by her Sanda coach.

He mentioned that when there is an imbalance of power, the speed of reaction can still determine victory or defeat.

As the saying goes, the only way to defeat martial arts in the world is speed.

Before on the train, Gu Mingyue was quite satisfied with her reaction, but it still needed improvement, so she thought of this training.

Even if she will never encounter such a dangerous situation again in the future, she will just treat it as a physical exercise.

After a while, I was sweating and then I tried to catch the coins. I failed seven out of ten times. I had to practice more.

I've been running around these two days and was worried that the little one would get angry, so I decided to cook some mung bean porridge today.

In the era without air conditioning and refrigerators, mung beans were definitely the best summer cooling product.

She put half a pot of water and after it boiled, she first poured the mung bean water into a separate bowl, added some rock sugar, and waited for it to cool.

I added another half bowl of water into the pot and kept stirring it until the mung beans bloomed.

Mung beans are a bit cold, so it is easier to digest if they are soft and mushy.

Mix a cucumber, steam two small milk-flavored buns, and add a salted duck egg, and your delicious breakfast is ready.

Last night, Gu Mingyue slept with Xiao Shitou in his room and waited until he fell asleep before returning to her own room.

The little guy woke up crying in the middle of the night, so Gu Mingyue had to go back. After going back and forth twice, she finally had peace of mind.

This morning I found that Xiao Shitou's eyes were a little swollen.

While Gu Mingyue felt distressed, she could only pretend not to see it, otherwise all her efforts would be wasted.

So she praised the little guy's performance last night in a very exaggerated way.

Little Shitou felt a little embarrassed by the praise and didn't mention the matter of not wanting to sleep alone again.

Gu Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief. It was a close call. She almost gave in.

Pour the cooled mung bean water into a thermos and take it to my uncle's house.

It’s good that it’s close. You can get there just down the slope.

When they arrived at their uncle's house, their sister-in-law saw Xiao Shitou's eyes and asked what was going on.

Gu Mingyue told the truth.

Guangxin exclaimed "Wow" and said to Xiao Shitou in admiration, "You are so brave."

Little Stone said shyly, "It's...it's okay."

He originally felt a little aggrieved, but Guangxin's reaction made him feel that he had done something very remarkable.

Especially when he plays with his friends during the day, everyone expresses envy when they learn that he sleeps alone...

From then on, Little Stone no longer had any objection to sleeping alone and was very proud of it.

Gu Mingyue and her elder brother mentioned their plan to sell dates.

The eldest brother hesitated and said, "Have you asked? Are you sure you can accept it?"

Gu Mingyue replied, "I went to Harbin and saw people selling dates. They are not as sweet as those in our village, but they are still in short supply. No need to ask, they will definitely sell out.

To be on the safe side, I will go to the town and send a telegram to ask my classmates. But shouldn't we inform the villagers first to avoid any problems? "

"We must inform the meeting. Let's go to the village committee and call everyone together for a meeting before work starts."

When all the villagers gathered, Gu Mingwei proposed selling dates. Some agreed, while others were skeptical.

Gu Mingwei shouted to the crowd, "Be quiet, let's vote by raising our hands, and the majority will prevail."

Even though some people have doubts, in the end, most people support selling it.

I eat these dates every year. Although they taste good, they are just a snack after all, and eating too much will be enough.

It's something that comes for free, but if it can really be exchanged for food, it would be a huge bargain.

Someone asked Gu Mingyue, "Aunt, can we only exchange for food?"

Gu Mingyue looked at Gu Guangping who was speaking and asked, "What do you want to change?"

"I heard that people in the city have a lot of cloth coupons. See if you can exchange them for some, or just for cloth. It doesn't matter what kind, as long as I can make a piece of clothing."
