The Ordinary Man's Guide to Fast Travel

Chao Wenjun and Lan Lan closed the door after they entered. Although it was stuffy, Chao Jianguo's mysterious look just now made them nervous for a while.

They made a small bowl of food for Chaoyao, which was actually corn paste.

Lan Lan gave her a small spoon and Chao Yao had to eat by herself.

"What's the matter that you asked us to come back?" Lan Lan wiped her hands and turned to ask Chao Jianguo.

He then took out the watermelon seeds that he had carefully preserved.

"Mom, watermelon seeds, my sister wants to eat watermelon."

Chao Wenjun slapped Chao Jianguo on the back and said, "Your sister has never seen a watermelon, how would she know what this is!"

Chao Jianguo was slapped in the face and became a little timid.

Chao Yao snatched the watermelon seeds from Chao Jianguo's hand, and small sprouts slowly emerged in the palm of his hand.

"Grandma gave it to me!"

Chao Yao said this seriously, and the watermelon vine in his hand grew quickly and then produced a big watermelon.

She estimated that the watermelon must weigh about 20 to 30 kilograms.

Chao Wenjun has become much calmer after what happened two years ago. He is just shocked by what Chao Yao said just now.

"Yaoyao, what did you say? Was this watermelon given to you by grandma?"

"Yes! Grandma gave me a lot. Whatever you want, you can have it."

"No need to apply for a certificate of honor anymore, now I can just take the seeds and induce labor?"

Lan Lan touched the watermelon and found it was edible, just like the strawberries!

Chao Yao looked confused, "What certificate of honor?"

She is a child. She doesn't understand, but she will say she doesn't understand even if she does.

Chao Wenjun picked the watermelon, Chao Yao put the vine into space, and then patted his belly.

"Grandma is hiding."

This was now confirmed in Chao Wenjun's opinion.

"Yaoyao, where are you hiding?"

Chao Yao thought about it and opened his hands.

"In a very very very very very very big house."

She took the watermelon vine out of the space again.

"Let it go if you want."

They all understood what Chaoyao meant. There was a place that no one knew about except Chaoyao, where they could store things without being seen by others.

Chao Yao put away the vines and pointed at the watermelon. Chao Jianguo did the same as last time, but this time he was sweating profusely.

The weather in August was really hot. The room in the tube-shaped building was small and stuffy, and he was really sweating profusely.

"Dad, Mom, eat melon, Yaoyao, eat melon."

Chao Wenjun picked up the big watermelon and said, "Okay! Daddy will go cut the watermelon for you now."

He cut the watermelon into pieces of different sizes and took a small bowl.

"Let the younger sister eat it, she has small hands. Put the seeds in a bowl, they can be pulled out next time."

The whole family sat by the bed, one piece in the left hand and one in the right hand, and ate until they were full.

Chao Yao collected all the watermelon rinds. Although it was not the first time that Chao Jianguo saw Chao Yao do this, he was still shocked every time he saw it.

"I'm going to collect seeds and vegetable seedlings this summer. Will I be able to have a full meal every day? I never seem to have the feeling of being full. So this is how it is!"

Lan Lan wiped Chao Yao's hands. She looked at Chao Jianguo seriously and said, "Brother, you are full, not hungry! I have everything you want to eat! Grandpa and grandpa will give it to you!"

Chao Wenjun was surprised, "What else did they give?"

Chao Yao took out a steaming plate of pork with preserved vegetables and pickled mustard greens, "Meat, eat!"

Lan Lan was so frightened that her face turned pale. "Quick...quickly put it away! Don't let anyone else see or smell it. It's not popular for anyone to eat so much meat these days. Let's eat it quietly at night and no one will know."

Chao Yao put it away and asked Chao Wenjun seriously:

"What else did your grandma and grandpa tell you?"

Chao Yao looked thoughtful and said, "Before the year after next, both of you should sell your jobs and then change jobs."

Chao Yao had been wanting to find an opportunity to bring up this matter a long time ago. When the school suspends classes and opens for business, teachers' lives will become increasingly difficult.

Although there are two martyrs in the family, the entire environment will have changed a lot by then, and nothing can be predicted. It is better to just stay alive.

Their family is not some big person who can change the world, but just an ordinary small family. In this environment, the only way out is to live in peace.

Chao Wenjun and Lan Lan were a little confused after hearing what Chao Yao said, but they also knew that asking Chao Yao would not get an answer.

She is still so young, it's great that she can remember these.

Now when the elders speak, they listen.

College students are still very valuable nowadays, and they may be able to change jobs with the help of some connections.

At this time, the job of a teacher is also envied by everyone.

Keeping this in mind, Chao Wenjun and Lan Lan accompanied the two children to do other things. Today was a holiday, so they had a good time to rest.

Chao Jianguo is eight years old and is in primary school. He is now keen on writing a diary.

Influenced by the kind-hearted and righteous comrades who became popular all over the country a few years ago, all students in the school now have the habit of writing diaries.

There were still many words he couldn't write, so Lan Lan taught him.

Chaoyao didn't want to stay at home because the house was too small and stuffy.

Chao Wenjun took her to the Gu family next door to play with Gu Fufeng.

We ate watermelon today, but he hasn't had his fill yet. I'll find a place where no one is around and stuff it into his mouth later.

In order to make it easier for Chaoyao to eat watermelon without being discovered, Chao Wenjun cut the watermelon into very small pieces for her so that she could put the whole piece into her mouth with just one pinch.

There is an open space at the back of the tube building, where the children from the building usually play.

Rolling hoops, playing marbles, hopscotch, making porn movies, throwing sandbags and bumping into each other, etc.

The games are simple, there are only a few of them, but no child ever gets bored of them.

Nowadays, many people don't have much steel at home. Most of the rolling hoops used by children are the iron hoops on the water buckets, wooden buckets, dung buckets, and rice steamers at home. When these buckets are broken or discarded, the children disassemble the iron hoops to make iron rings.

Or some people can find a piece of wire, put it on a round wooden barrel, and the adults in the family can use pliers to press it into a circle, which can also be used.

Chaoyao and Gu Fufeng were still young and couldn't play, so they would just run around the open space and occasionally hop around in the hopscotch grids drawn by others.

Gu Fufeng has no opinion of his own. He plays whatever Chaoyao plays and chases him wherever Chaoyao runs.

Chao Wenjun stood aside and looked at the two of them with a smile.

Chao Yao would pay attention to other people's attention from time to time. If they didn't notice her, she would stuff food into Gu Fufeng's mouth.

"I feed you, you can't tell anyone else, not even your parents or grandparents!"

Chao Yao had a stern face and spoke to Gu Fufeng in a fierce tone with his big round eyes.

Ever since Gu Fufeng learned to speak, Chao Yao would give him such instructions almost every time.

Gu Fufeng quickly covered his mouth with his chubby little hands and nodded vigorously.

He actually didn't know why he listened to Chao Yao so much. Every time he ate anything, he would never tell anyone. Subconsciously, he felt that such things should not be told.

Seeing that Gu Fufeng's attitude was as serious as before, Chao Yao smiled with satisfaction.

"That's good. If you tell others about this, you will never have food to eat again."

"No need, no need!"

Gu Fufeng swallowed the watermelon, his eyes shining.

It's delicious!
