The night is as cool as water, and the mood of autumn is awe-inspiring.
The entire courtyard was very quiet, except for a young man in the middle courtyard who was looking at the crescent moon in the sky, lost in thought.
"When I was young, I was so proud of the spring breeze that my horse was hoofed. I didn't believe there was separation in the world... Alas, I can't go back."
Zhou Jimin's eyes are deep and full of story, which is in sharp contrast with his immature face.
He is not from this era, he just happened to catch the last train of the time traveler army.
Came to the parallel world of film and television dramas called Qingman Courtyard.
For a person who has experienced hair loss, gout, tinnitus, myopia, belly fat and other mid-life crises, he came to this parallel time and space where there was a lack of food and clothing. After experiencing the initial panic, he slowly accepted the reality.<
/p>
The boy with this body is also named Zhou Jimin, and he is an apprentice worker at the Red Star Rolling Mill.
My father, Lao Zhou, died heroically while catching spies a few years ago. My mother became depressed and unhappy in the following years, and passed away more than half a month ago.
Zhou Jimin was left with five children, sad, confused, and panic...
As the eldest brother, Zhou Jimin shoulders the important responsibility of supporting the family.
But there are two younger sisters and two younger brothers below. The eldest sister is only thirteen years old, and the youngest is only four and a half years old.
And he himself is only a fifteen-year-old boy. How to support himself and his four younger brothers and sisters has become a difficult problem before him.
The most difficult thing is the courtyard, almost all of which are filled with piranha.
The beginning of hell.
Suddenly, the Siberian north wind blew in the sky, making a sizzling sound.
Zhou Jimin couldn't help but shrink his body, turned around and went back to his room to sleep.
If I don’t go back, I’m afraid I’ll catch a cold and have a fever the next day.
You must know that the reason why he successfully traveled through time was because the original owner was sentimental and excessively sad, so he took advantage of it and occupied the magpie's nest.
The room was relatively warm, and the two brothers on the bed were sleeping soundly.
"You're actually frowning? Are you having a nightmare?"
When he tucked his eight-year-old brother Zhou Jikang into bed, he happened to see the little guy's painful expression, and Zhou Jimin couldn't help but sigh.
The nine-year-old third brother is also not honest when sleeping. Not only does he sleep in an inelegant posture, but he also drools.
Bedsheets are a bit expensive.
Smiling and shaking his head, Zhou Jimin also went to bed and lay down.
The two younger sisters were sleeping in the next room. The thirteen-year-old second sister could take good care of the four-and-a-half-year-old girl, which made him worry a lot.
The next day, at 5:30 in the morning, the sky was still dark, so Zhou Jimin woke up.
Entertainment activities in this era are very scarce, so almost everyone goes to bed before nine o'clock.
For a young body, a middle-aged soul, nine hours of sleep is enough.
Opening the bag, Zhou Jimin filled up the snow-white flour and prepared to make breakfast.
Originally this was Zhou's mother's job, but now it's his.
Under normal circumstances, Lao Zhou’s family simply cannot afford white noodles.
When Lao Zhou was still alive, he was a level four carpenter with a salary of 49.6 yuan, while Zhou’s mother was a level two noodle maker with a salary of 34 yuan.
For a dual-income family, with two adults and five children, life is fine, but they certainly can’t afford white noodles.
They say half-grown children make me poor. Except for the four-and-a-half-year-old little girl, Zhou Jimin’s four brothers and sisters are all half-grown children, and they are the kings of rice every day.
This white flour was left over after the funeral of Zhou’s mother.
Adding water, kneading the dough, lighting the fire, and steaming the buns, Zhou Jimin moved skillfully and his techniques were dazzling.
Originally he was a southerner and was used to eating rice, but after marrying a northern girl, he was also used to eating pasta.
Especially when he was chasing his wife, he deliberately learned a lot of preparation methods of northern dishes. Kneading dough, steaming steamed buns, making noodles, etc. are all basic operations.
After steaming the steamed buns, Zhou Jimin opened the door and prepared to go to the vegetable cellar to get Chinese cabbage.
During the winter in the north, dozens or hundreds of catties of Chinese cabbage will be prepared in the vegetable cellar.
However, he met Qin Huairu as soon as he went out.
The latter is the daughter-in-law of the Jia family, who gave birth to a son and a daughter. She has just come back from outside with a cleaned chamber pot.
"Zhou Jimin, good morning, why did you get up so early?"
"Good morning, Auntie, I got up because I couldn't sleep."
Now Qin Huairu, her husband is still there, she has two children, she is a full-time housewife, and her life is certainly good.
When Zhou's mother was in mourning, Qin Huairu was so busy that she called her aunt, which made sense.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Zhou Jimin entered the vegetable cellar.
Behind him, Qin Huairu withdrew her pity eyes, shook her head and returned to her home.
The Zhou family without their parents will have a hard time in the future.
Take out two Chinese cabbages from the vegetable cellar, peel off the old cabbage, and cut the remaining tender cabbage hearts directly.
Laobangzi was also chopped into pieces and used to feed the chickens.
The two old hens at home are so precious, they can lay eggs every day, and occasionally they can improve the food at home.
Take out a piece of meat from the cupboard. This is the fat meat I bought after get off work yesterday.
The fat and thin meat are separated, the fat meat is refined into oil, sizzling in the pot, and the aroma wafts out.
"Who eats meat so early in the morning? Isn't it hard to survive this day?"
"It seems to be coming from the Zhou family in the middle courtyard. Hiss, it smells so good."
"Hey, the boy from the Zhou family can't survive? It's so noisy in the morning, how can we survive the rest of the day?"
In the courtyard in the early morning, many neighbors got up and smelled the fragrance in the air, and the whole courtyard suddenly became lively.
Zhou Jimin pretended not to hear the commotion outside the door.
Even if he heard it, he would laugh it off.
Although in this era, you need to be low-key, it does not mean that you cannot have breakfast.
As for eating meat for breakfast?
How can their five children survive without eating meat?
"Brother, open the door, I want to eat meat."
There was a knock on the door. Zhou Jimin opened the door and smiled, "Good morning, little goldfish. Is your sister up?"
The youngest in the family is nicknamed Little Goldfish because she pouts when she is angry or acting coquettishly. She looks like a goldfish, so she got this nickname.
Earlier, her nickname was Little Lazy because she loved lazy beds when she was little.
"Get up, sister is folding the quilt, big brother, get out of the way, I have to brush my teeth."
The four-and-a-half-year-old kid squeezed her brother away, walked inside with her short legs, picked up the small stool with great skill and difficulty, then stood on the stool, took out the toothpaste and toothbrush placed in the cupboard, and then picked up the toothbrush from the water.
I took the water spoon from the tank and ran to the door to brush my teeth.
"Brush your teeth clean and don't rush."
Looking at the little goldfish Zhou Shumin, Zhou Jimin's eyes were full of tenderness, as if he was looking at his own daughter.
In later generations, he really wanted to have a daughter, but it was a pity that his wife was not able to support her, and all three of them were married.
In the room, the two younger brothers also got up smelling the fragrance.
The main reason is that when the little goldfish get up, it's almost time to eat, so they don't dare to stay in bed any longer.
The house of more than 30 square meters is divided into one room, one living room and one kitchen. The so-called kitchen is actually a partition of part of the small living room.
The second sister, Zhou Shuqing, came in and helped bring the dishes to the table, and then went to brush her teeth and wash her face.
In front of Lao Zhou's house, four children lined up in a row, brushing their teeth together.
When the neighbors saw this scene, they all laughed and joked.
The little kids in the front yard also came close to play, especially the Yan family. They also wanted to get into the room and steal some food, but they were blocked by Zhou Shuqing and others.
