Chapter 74 Space origin and the customs of the first day of junior high school
Some young people put their kicks at the door to welcome the new year.
Regardless of his past life or present life, Li Wen has always liked setting off firecrackers since he was a child. This may be determined by the boy's genes.
In Li Wen's time, firecrackers were no longer allowed due to pollution or some other reason, but in this era, firecrackers were fired boldly and arbitrarily.
Moreover, there are benefits to setting off cannons. When the sulfurous fireworks gas falls from the sky, it can kill bacteria and viruses, and it also acts as fertilizer when it falls on the geographical location.
After the cannons are set off, the New Year's Eve day is completely over, which means that the new year has officially arrived.
"Okay, let's go back to sleep."
The smoke gradually dissipated, and the village gradually became quiet in the dark night.
After setting off the cannon, Li Wen and his eldest brother returned to the room.
After turning on the lamp, the whole room was quiet in the dark night, except for the breathing of a few people.
Li Wen was lying on the bed thinking about it. In the blink of an eye, it had been more than half a year since he came to this era in June.
With hard work and future knowledge, I operated carefully. Finally, my family had enough to eat and no longer had to worry about their stomachs all day long.
Li Wen sighed in his heart: "The past few months have been really wonderful!"
From fishing, writing, making green crops, to selling peaches and making canned food. Li Wen took every step carefully, for fear of doing something that was not in line with this era.
Although a lot of things happened and there were many difficulties and setbacks, Li Wen's hard work paid off after all.
And Li Wen's efforts have been rewarded. The family's living standard has improved, they have money, and they have enough to eat. More importantly, they have helped the family get several work indicators.
Even relatives and the village received a lot of benefits from following Li Wen, which also allowed him to completely integrate into this era.
At the moment when Li Wen fired off the cannon, a piece of information appeared in the space in Li Wen's mind.
Li Wen also knew the origin of space.
It turns out that the warehouse where I am located was the dojo of the local city god decades ago. Due to the activities, these ancient monuments have been permanently damaged and lost.
In Li Wen's previous life, business was not going well due to the plague. During that time, there happened to be several traffic accidents.
A few days before the time travel, Li Wen happened to go to the newly built Chenghuang Temple to pay homage. He hoped to receive blessings from the gods.
Li Wen likes to learn about cultural relics and deeds. Whenever he goes to a temple, he will learn about the origin of the temple with the host.
While worshiping the gods, Li Wen inexplicably remembered that when he was chatting with his master just now, the temple master mentioned that the original City God's Temple was in his warehouse.
The place where he lives is the dojo of the Millennium City God's Temple. As an old bookworm, Li Wen likes to think about these things.
Li Wen's strong ideological obsession was noticed by the remaining dojo spirit, so Li Wen's sudden death and time travel was also caused by the dojo spirit.
The space after traveling through is also a simulation of the dojo cave.
Because in ancient times, the city god had a large part of the authority of the earth god. And the god also wanted to eat, so there was a dojo, Dongtian.
The gods have retreated to another dimension because of the Earth Star's unique spirit.
And Li Wen's old bookworm brain is full of energy and is very suitable for the cave that is about to collapse. So everything just goes as it should.
The power of time and space traveled through has restored a lot of space, completely fixing it from the edge of collapse.
Now the space is completely stable, but it does not have any mythical abilities. It has become an ordinary small space world.
However, in the future, Li Wen will be able to absolutely control the space through his mental power, and harvesting vegetables and farming will become simple with one click.
However, there are limitations. The space is still so large, and the time flow rate is still the same. There is not much change, it still only has a auxiliary effect.
(Hundreds of words explain the origin of space. Although Li Wen’s time travel is sudden, it is also reasonable and well-founded. The space aspect will not be explained later)
Li Wen tried it with his eyes closed. One-click harvesting, mind control and cleaning are all great. There is no need to waste a lot of time busy with these things at noon.
If you want anything in the future, you don’t have to take it to the room or yard, you can operate it directly.
Seeing the brothers on both sides sleeping soundly and snoring slightly, Li Wen also closed his eyes.
Li Wen woke up naturally the next morning. No one would wake him up on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Because local customs are completely free on this day, and of course there is no violation of laws or regulations or naughty children.
I got up and glanced at the clock in the space. It was already past nine o'clock, and the eldest and second brothers on both sides had long since disappeared.
Li Wen got dressed under the quilt and slipped off the kang. When he opened the door to the room, he found that the yard was empty, no one was there.
When he came to the kitchen, Li Wen took out the hot braised pork and steamed buns from the pot and ate them with corn grits porridge.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, you can't eat steamed buns, steamed buns and staple food. You can only eat steamed buns with meat and vegetables all day long.
Because of local customs, people who eat steamed buns on the first day of the new year will become stupid, that is, stupid people.
After eating, Li Wen went out leisurely.
The sun is very warm here, and when the weather is cold in winter, the temperature of the sun is also low. Older people like to go out to bask in the sun, and they won't get too hot.
At this time, the door of Li Wen's house can be said to have become the cultural exchange center of the village! Hundreds of middle-aged and elderly men and women sat at the foot of the wall to bask in the sun.
Li Wen's radio was placed on the gatehouse. The higher the sound was, the farther the sound would travel and everyone could hear it.
At this time, Qin Opera was roaring on the radio, and Li Wen recognized it as the classic opera "Zhou Ren Returns to the House".
Li Wen also likes to listen to Qin Opera. In his previous life, there were often Qin Opera performances at village temple fairs and town fairs. Most of the time, he would go with the old people to enjoy and listen to the performances.
Even though Qin Opera may not look elegant, it has a history of thousands of years and is closely related to the character and culture of the people in the region.
The women chatted and listened to Qin opera. The men played many games, including chess and chess, but most of them played flower cards.
Tihuahua is a folk game in the entire region. It is very similar to poker, but it is an authentic folk culture.
Local people say it was invented by Marquis Zhuge Wu, and some experts say it evolved from the Ming Dynasty horse tag. But in any case, it must be at least several hundred years old.
Li Wen was also very interested in it. Many flower cards in his previous life were decorated with characters from the Water Margin and the Three Kingdoms. He felt that this was very popular science.
Everyone played games, listened to Qin opera, and basked in the sun. It was a beautiful day.
The young people also let themselves go completely on this day, playing in groups everywhere, setting off firecrackers and playing games.
However, children rarely leave the village, and those who leave the village are mostly young people. They also go to each other in groups of several villages.
As for why I can't leave the village, it's not that I don't want to run around and play, but that there are wolves in winter.
The earthen city wall in the village has not yet been demolished. It is used to protect against bandits and rebels before the founding of the People's Republic of China. Of course, it also protects against wild beasts.
Every winter and spring, when the crops are green and yellow, there will be a shortage of food for wolves.
At this time, wolves will go down the mountain and travel dozens or hundreds of kilometers every day in search of food, and children are no exception. As long as adults are not paying attention, they will eat children.
In recent years, the country has organized wolf-fighting teams every few years. The county has organized militias to fight! The situation has improved a lot in recent years, but tragedies still happen from time to time.
Therefore, every year in winter, rural people rarely go out, and if they have important matters, they will travel in small groups.
Li Wen wandered around the village, frightening his friends from time to time.
Many people invited Li Wen to play together, but he rejected them all. I didn't want to get my clothes dirty.
From time to time in the village, there would be little guys rolling hoops and running in front, followed by a group of little carrot heads.
There are also a few whose families are in good condition and have bought glass beads to play marbles.
Another one asked the father to cut a monkey out of wood. There was a circle of people around, and several little guys were beating the monkey with ropes to make the monkey keep spinning. Several people were competing to see whose monkey could spin longer.
In larger cities, there is cockfighting, which is called wild boar siege locally.
Draw two city gates on the ground, with one gatekeeper on one side and the others responsible for stealing chickens. Victory will be considered when the gate of the other side is breached.
There are also naughty ones with wooden guns on their waists and slingshots in their hands. These are all valuable kids. The rubber bands of slingshots are not cheap.
The little guy took a slingshot and chased sparrows all over the village. Wherever he went, the birds were so startled that they flew away one after another.
Girls are much quieter. They play with fancy ropes, jump with rubber bands, and play with sandbags. (Use a piece of cloth with rags or sand inside for throwing and playing.)
Everyone plays without disturbing each other, it’s really lively! It’s not like the playgrounds in later generations where adults have to accompany them.
The young and old get together to play poker and upgrade. But they are also poor and have no money to play! The most they can win is melon seeds and candies.
Li Wen went to several dealers to play cards for a while and lost a lot of melon seeds. He has been a man of two generations and his card skills are as bad as ever.
At noon, women go home one after another to prepare meals. Today's lunch will be the most sumptuous meal of the year.
Seeing the adults coming back, Li Wen also said goodbye and went home.
At this time, the kitchen at Li Wen's house was full of aroma. However, the little ones were gone and had gone out to play, otherwise there would have been a line at the door of the kitchen.
Li Wen had nothing to do, so he went to help with the cold dishes and fried mapo tofu. Of course, the chili sauce was homemade by Li Wen.
"smell good!"
The food was almost done, and Li Yong and the other guys came back.
Li Wen estimated that the other children had gone home for dinner, otherwise they would definitely not come back.
"Wow! It's delicious and spicy."
Li Yong secretly grabbed a piece of pig ear and ate it.
You kid, go wash your hands quickly and stop eating. Let’s eat together when the dishes are ready. I don’t want to deal with you today,” the second aunt warned.
Today is the first day of junior high school, a day of complete rest for the whole year. You can't spank the children, and you can't clean the house. You won't do anything except cooking.
"Have you all washed your hands?" The dishes were all ready and everyone started to eat. Mother Wang Chunmei took off her apron and said.
Chapter completed!
