[Comprehensive fear] wholeheartedly for good

People say that being close to the hometown is timid.

But now Liu Lian was carrying a huge surprise, and the closer he was to home, the more joyful he felt.All the fright I encountered on the road just now was calmed down by this, and I finally trotted all the way into the village.

The situation in the village is still the same as last year, but along the way, I saw that many houses either added electric vehicles or repaired walls, and the conditions are getting better and better.Only their family, because of debt repayment, even though everyone worked hard, life was still stagnant.

The walls of this room were built with money from my uncle when his business was good. It has been ten years since now, and the walls still have traces of being blackened by the fire.The back room is where everyone lives, and the front yard was turned into a small shop by the grandfather. During these difficult days, the family relied on this shop to survive.

Liu Lian walked in lightly, and everything was still as she was familiar with.

There are mountains of soda boxes piled up outside the house, and all of them are filled with soda bottles that have been returned after drinking.The floor of the door is neatly covered with cardboard, and the cotton curtain on the door must have not been washed for more than ten years, but it is necessary to keep warm, because a thick layer of water mist hangs on all the windows.

Liu Lian's eyes were also covered with mist, and during the time of "crossing", he hadn't seen his relatives for almost two years.She was just about to lift the curtain of the door, when old Mr. Liu and her own grandfather turned out from the door, holding a dustpan and sticky bean buns in their hands.

"Oh! Our girl is back!" Overjoyed, he walked down the steps, quickly put the sticky bean buns on the long table at the door, and turned around to look at Liu Lian. "Quick! Follow me into the house, it's cold outside! I'll give you fried bean buns! Good guy, I steamed them myself."

Old Mr. Liu took the package and welcomed his granddaughter into the house, and handed her a steaming glass teacup wrapped in a sweater to warm her hands. "Go to the kang first, and stay warm for a while, and then the master will give you something delicious. I heard that you were going to come back, so I put it on, and I tried my best to hide so that your old uncle didn't go by!"

"It's okay, I'm not cold!" Liu Lian took a sip from the teacup in his hand. The old man preferred scented tea. In the past, even if he was stingy, he liked to get some good tea to drink.But now, the cup is definitely 20 pounds of jasmine, with a layer of old leaves floating.

"By the way, grandpa, I brought back a lot of southern specialties. Let's add more dishes tonight! Take out your marinated chicken legs too. I will accompany you, dad and uncle to have a drink in the evening. The uncle will be very happy."

Liu Lian dragged her travel bag over, which was full of cured meat and special snacks.

"Why don't you keep it for food? It's better to eat something good outside alone. Why do you think about them? Every day, one runs away without a trace and comes back with nothing but clothes and pants, and the other pours cat urine and can't get the light of day." Don't show up... You don't know, girl, but I have suffered an old crime, and I can't count on anyone to work!"

As soon as old boss Liu's words fell, the door curtain was raised again, and the two turned their heads to see that it was Liu Laigui, Liu Lian's old uncle who was drunk all day long.

Of course he was also drunk at the moment, holding the half-full 'Old Village Chief' in one hand, and a plastic bag in the other, which obviously contained cut meat.

"Where did you go to drink again?! I couldn't find you when I moved the goods, I couldn't find you when I cleaned the house, I couldn't find you when I was looking at the store, and I couldn't find you when I was preparing for the New Year. Can you be a bit promising?!" Old Liu head When I saw this son, I was so angry. What crime did he do? ! "Your eldest niece is back, hurry up and wash your face, and burn her house on the kang!"

At this time, Liu Laigui, who was half-drunk, saw clearly that there was no one more person in the room, whether it was his eldest niece or someone else.

"Hey, Lianlian is back?" He put the wine bottle and meat bag on the glass container, walked up to look at Liu Lian in a drunken way, "Well, it's my eldest niece, I haven't seen you for a year, and she's so beautiful Little. Here, uncle will give you pocket change..." He reached out his hand to fumble in his pocket, but only found a handful of change notes, the largest ones were ten yuan.

"Come on, you!" Old boss Liu knew at a glance that his old son was so drunk that he didn't know what year it was, and thought it was when he was doing business outside and became a big boss! "I give you a little money every month to buy food and drinks, so don't put it here!"

Liu Laigui and his elder brother, Liu Degui, Liu Lian's father, are now helping out in Old Liu's shop, eating and living at home, and Old Liu gives them a little pocket money every month.As a result, one of the two brothers gave all the money to the gambling table, and did not lose it without showing up; the other went out to change side dishes, and even got drinks from their own small shop.

Old Mr. Liu kept sighing that he didn't know what evil he had done, that it would be fine if he didn't enjoy the blessings of his children and grandchildren when he was old, and he had to serve these two debt collectors in turn.

"Then, where did my dad go?" Liu Lian knew his dad's problem well, he must have lost all his money at the beginning of the month, and now he should be bored at home looking at the shop!

"He, hiccup! Hiccup!" Liu Laigui wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he blurted out a big belch, which made the whole room smell bad.

"Come on, come on, go wash your face first, and go to work! How long has it been since the kang in the girl's house has been burned?!" Old Mr. Liu waved his son away, picked him up and put him on the glass container A bag containing cooked food, "You prodigal son, how much meat did you make?! Well, let's cook some cabbage for the rest of the night!"

Then he turned to Liu Lian and said, "Don't worry, your dad has already lost all his money. It's the Chinese New Year, and it's time to stock up on some cannons, Didi Gold, etc. I asked him to stock up this morning. "

"Steam some cabbage? I bought a total of one catty, and that's all I have left. He'll have to chop two cabbages into it in a while, and there won't be any meat..." Liu Laigui muttered, and then raised his voice a little Said: "But my brother came back early, now let's put it at Uncle Zhao's house to watch others play cards!"

"What?!" Before Liu Lian could say anything, old boss Liu ran away. "This damn thing, I don't know if I'll come back early after the goods are delivered, doesn't he know that his daughter is coming home today?!"

"Why don't I know?" Just as old boss Liu was getting angry, the door curtain moved again.Liu Degui came in with a big cardboard box in his arms, bringing with him a cold air and the smell of gunpowder. "As soon as I heard from Zhao Quan that I seemed to see Lianlian, I came back in a hurry. Nong, Dad asked your Aunt Zhao to knit you a sweater..."

As he spoke, he handed Liu Lian a paper bag, and when he opened it, he found a beautiful pink sweater inside.

Liu Lian touched the soft and warm sweater with his father's body temperature in his hand, and the feeling in his heart can be imagined.

This is her father, flawed, morbidly addicted to gambling games after being overwhelmed by life's difficulties.But he has never known restraint, he only plays with the little he gets every month, and even if he plays after that, he will not bring any money. He has gambled garlic and pasted notes all over his face.Even though his hands were already itchy, he would rather see what happened to others than embezzle the family's money.Therefore, this is also the reason why Grandpa rest assured to let him go to the store.

And he loves her so much, although she can't say it, she knows that he misses her very much, and because of guilt, she doesn't know how to treat her better.

This year it was sweaters, last year it was the hazelnuts that had been picked from the mountains for a long time, and the year before last was the hand-rolled noodles he made with his own hands... Ever since his mother passed away, he has been trying to fill the lack of maternal love with his own love.A man who was originally straightforward and rough, has now become careful and gentle.In fact, she went out to work away from home, and the saddest thing was not herself, but her father.

Even though this is a person who has been completely overwhelmed by suffering and completely lost his previous character, he still remembers that he is a father.

Thinking of these, Liu Lian felt very sad.Sometimes she would rather her father completely become a person who only knows how to gamble and doesn't care about anything else. In that case, at least his heart won't be tortured like now...

This evening is destined to be a warm night.

Grandpa was smiling. Instead of frying the leftover meat with cabbage as he said, he cut up cured meat and served it with braised chicken drumsticks, creating a table comparable to a New Year's Eve dinner.The granddaughter's return is the old man's new year.

Dad is peaceful, he doesn't have blue veins like usual and can't do without chess and dice for a moment.He smiled and sat beside Liu Lian, served her food, and quietly listened to her talk about the things that happened in her life in the past year that he didn't know clearly.

Uncle is sober, his alcohol has passed, even though the food on the table is completely suitable for drinking, he has no thought of getting himself drunk again as usual.

The Liu family at this moment is like an ordinary warm family, 'sitting around to celebrate the reunion, laughing and talking happily'.

……

Fishy, ​​fishy!

It's getting thicker and closer!

"Ah!" Liu Lian woke up from the nightmare, drenched in cold sweat.But after waking up, she couldn't remember what she had dreamed in the dream.Wait, maybe there is something, if there seems to be nothing, still lingering in the nostrils...

She sat up and wrapped the quilt tightly.The kang under her body was still warm, which quickly warmed her up.Opening the curtains to look at the moon outside the window, she regained her composure slightly. She hasn't been home all these years, and has been sleeping on a soft bed from north to south. It is inevitable to choose a seat now.

Liu Lian's drowsiness had gone by eight minutes. He reached out to take the bag over, opened the wallet and counted, and finally settled down.

Their family owed a total of more than 100 million foreign debts. Back then, they scraped together and paid off part of the debt, and there were still hundreds of thousands of debts left unaccounted for.Although the borrowers are all relatives and friends, no one can always have such a large sum of money hanging outside!They have also been tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall, and exchanged back and forth to persist until now.

Liu Lian calculated that if she had to pay back the money, she would not be able to pay it back until she was in her 30s or 40s if she had to go out to work, plus her family's canteen and the field.

But if that was the case, her life would be completely ruined.The best moments in life are all fleeting in the process of paying off debts, and there is no meaning at all.What about ideals and life?

But now, she has this "time travel to make money" time travel plug-in.Leaving aside the benefits mentioned in it that can improve the wealth of their family, just say that the most practical thing is that the money earned there can be brought here legally and reasonably without being cursed, which already made her very grateful up.Moreover, this will not really occupy her life!

bu~she traveled through time, bu~she came back with the money she earned, no time wasted at all!

The only problem is that she doesn't know the activation mechanism of this 'crossing' mission.

This so-called system came in an inexplicable way, explained inexplicably, and the so-called mission was even more inexplicably inexplicable.Just like before, she didn't know how she completed the task at all, she completed it by herself, and then came back by herself, completely dependent on her will, and she didn't even know anything at all!

And those tasks didn't appear at all until they were completed, not even a reminder!Before and after, she is confused!

She doesn't know how often, where to go, and what is the criterion for acting.Also, who exactly gave her the system?What is his/its purpose?

She was full of doubts, but she had to eat the bait.Even, for this life-saving straw, this thing that can save her life, she has already started praying, praying for the next inexplicable mission to appear.
