In the courtyard, in the east wing of the middle courtyard, there is a boy of thirteen or fourteen lying on the bed.
The young man's brows were furrowed, with a painful expression on his face.
Then the young man slowly sat up, lifted the quilt, rubbed his temples, and looked around the room.
A ghostly expression appeared on his face, and then he lay back on the bed.
After an unknown amount of time, the boy opened his eyes again.
Time traveled!
And he traveled to a place jokingly called Qinman Siheyuan by netizens.
Known through the memory of the original owner.
The boy is also named Zheng Zhendong, and he is 14 years old this year.
He was a comrade who came to the city with his family members, and his mother and sister were placed in the middle courtyard of the compound at No. 95, South Tongluogu Lane, along with his mother and sister.
The comrades from the sub-district office were assigned two houses in the east wing of the courtyard. Next door lived the family of Yi Zhonghai, a senior engineer from the Louji Steel Plant.
As for why he traveled through time, Zheng Zhendong didn't know.
However, make peace with what you have come. After all, I have experienced the baptism of the big data era in later generations. I have read online TV series and novels, and I am not too surprised to know about time travel!
But thinking that I will be a social beast enjoying 996 blessings in the future, I just have to work overtime.
Because I was too tired, I climbed on the table and slept for a while, and when I woke up again, I traveled through time. It was quite magical.
Fortunately, I grew up in an orphanage and lived alone for more than 20 years without getting married or having any family, otherwise it would have been difficult.
While Zheng Zhendong was deep in thought, a middle-aged woman shouted at the bedroom door.
"Third brother, are you up? Are you feeling better? The sun is shining on you and if you don't get up, are you looking for a beating?"
As the voice of the conversation got closer and closer, a middle-aged woman in her 40s came into view.
I saw a middle-aged woman, wearing a homespun jacket, gray cloth trousers, and a pair of thousand-layer cloth shoes.
Holding the bamboo gada in his hand, he walked to the bed
, Zheng Zhendong knew that this was the mother of the original owner, and hurriedly spoke.
"Mom, I'm going to get up right now. I'm going to get up right now. You go out first so I can get dressed!"
When Zheng's mother heard what Zheng Zhendong said, she knew that her son was older and shy, but her face still showed disdain and she still spoke.
"Hey, you little brat, I gave birth to you. I haven't seen any part of you, yet you are so shy!"
Having said that, Zheng's mother still walked towards the bedroom door, talking as she walked.
"Get up quickly, wash your face and brush your teeth, we'll have dinner soon!"
Following the words as he walked out of the bedroom, Zheng Zhendong also began to prepare to get up.
He opened the quilt, picked up the cotton-padded jacket and cotton trousers that were placed on the stool, put on an old-fashioned military uniform, and put on cloth shoes.
Zheng Zhendong picked up the toothbrush from the toothbrush on the table, pulled the towel off the rope, and left the bedroom.
After passing through the four- to five-square-meter main room, I walked out of the house and took a scoop of cold water from the water tank at the base of the wall.
Pour most of it into the washbasin and a small part into the dental bowl.
Then Zheng Zhendong began to brush his teeth, wash his face, and finally poured the used dirty water into the sewer of the courtyard, walked back home, and asked as soon as he entered the door.
"Mom, where is my little sister? She hasn't gotten up yet?"
Zheng's mother, Wang Cuifen, who was cooking, spoke without looking back.
"Your sister woke up early, thinking she was just a slacker like you, so she didn't get up until now!
She must have gone to play in the rain next door. Just go and call her and tell her that she will eat soon!"
"oh!"
Zheng Zhendong agreed, walked out of the house, went to the west wing of the main room in the middle courtyard, and knocked on the door.
"Who is it? What's wrong?"
Just listen to the tender voice of a child coming from the ear room, and the sound sounds like the sound of He Yuyu.
However, Zheng Zhendong had just come to the courtyard and was not sure, so he asked tentatively.
"It's the rain, it's me, your brother Zhendong, is my Xinyi in your house? I'll call her home for dinner!"
At this time, He Yuyu opened the door, walked out and said.
"It's Brother Zhendong. Xinyi is in my room. We are talking. Do you want to come in?"
After hearing this, Zheng Zhendong quickly declined.
"No, no, I'm here to call Xinyi to go home for dinner, Yuyu, please help me call her."
"Third brother! Are you looking for me?"
Before He Yuyu took action, at this moment, another little girl came out of the house and shouted to Zheng Zhendong.
"Well, let's go home for dinner. Our mother has prepared the meal. You don't know how to go home. Come on!"
Zheng Zhendong first said a few words to his sister, and then asked He Yuyu politely.
"Do you want to eat Rainwater? If not, let's go to my house and eat some together!"
When He Yuyu heard this, he quickly refused.
"No, no, brother Zhendong, my dad will get up to cook in a while. You guys should go back and eat quickly!"
When Zheng Zhendong heard what He Yuyu said, he couldn't force him, so he had to say.
"Okay, then let's go back to eat. If it's rainy, you can go back inside. It's quite cold outside!"
After Zheng Zhendong finished speaking, he took his sister Zheng Xinyi and walked home.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw a basket on the dining table. Inside the basket were five or six steamed buns with noodles and four or five steamed buns.
There was also a plate of pickles and three bowls of stick noodle porridge on the table. Mother Zheng said when she saw the brothers and sisters coming back.
"You two, hurry up and eat. I'll go to the street to do some business later.
Yesterday, someone from the sub-district office said, Director Ma has something to ask me. What should I ask about?
After you two finish your meal, don’t go out and run around, it’s not safe on the street, do you hear me?”
"I got it, Mom!"
The two brothers and sisters said in unison while eating their meal.
In a short while, the mother and son finished their meal.
Mother Zheng put away the dishes, washed them, and went out.
The brother and sister sat at home for a while, maybe because they were bored, the younger sister Zheng Xinyi spoke.
"Third brother, I'm so bored at home. Can I go play in the rain?"
Hearing what his sister said, Zheng Zhendong, who had nothing to do, spoke.
"Go, go, have fun with others and don't quarrel!"
With her brother's permission, Zheng Xinyi happily ran away from home.
Zheng Zhendong looked at his sister who ran out of the house with a happy face and couldn't help but sigh, children are children and as long as they have friends to play with, they will be happy.
Unlike the adult world, which is always full of various problems, there is always helplessness and sadness of one kind or another in life.
Just like the line in Forrest Gump, life is like chocolate, you never know what color the next one will be.
Yes, just like Zheng Zhendong now, he is obviously a social animal living in the 21st century, but he just slept and woke up and traveled through time.
I also traveled through time to this desolate era. Everything seemed to be a dream, so unreal and unreal. But I pinched myself hard and felt pain, telling Zheng Zhendong that this was real, that he had really traveled through time.
