Wear It with Space - Chapter 7

There was a rush of footsteps in the alley, and Shen Ling was not asleep at first. Being disturbed by the sound of footsteps, he was completely awake.

She got up slightly, and through the bright moon outside the window, she found that she was in a spacious bedroom. There was a four-year-old boy on the big bed under her. On the opposite side of the big bed, there was an off-white combination cabinet. Shen Ling had seen it in her grandma’s house when she was a child. When she was guessing the age she was in, a voice rang in her mind.

System 25: “The host has completed the first mission and earned a total of 90 points. It takes 100 points to upgrade the space to level 1, and I hope the host will continue to work hard.”

System 25: “Whether to accept the second task, the task content is to take care of Chen Yun’s grandson Zheng Hao, the task time is five years.”

Shen Ling: “Can I ask about the age of this world?”

System 25: “The host is now in the 70s. Ask the host again if he accepts the second task.”

Shen Ling: “Accept.”

System 25: “After five years, Zheng Hao’s health value reaches 80 or more, this mission is a success, and he can get 100 points.”

Shen Ling: “What is Zheng Hao’s health value now?”

System 25: “Now Zheng Hao’s health value is 20.”

After this sentence fell, the memory of Chen Yun flooded in.

Chen Yun is in her 50s this year, and her wife is a well-known writer who passed away from depression a few years ago because of a struggle. The couple had only one daughter at their knees. After graduating from university, they stayed as a teacher and married a male colleague two years later. Because of Chen Yun’s wife, both her daughter and son-in-law were classified as rightists and sent to a farm in another province.

At that time, their son Zheng Hao was only one year old, and the young couple had to hand over their son to Chen Yun to raise him.

Chen Yun’s ancestor came from a scholarly family. Although he is not rich and wealthy, he is also safe in food and clothing. After marriage, his wife is warm and considerate, and his daughter is clever and well-behaved. It can be said that he has not suffered any hardships. If she hadn’t been born in this turbulent age, she could live a peaceful and prosperous life in her old age.

Unfortunately, fate is like this.

Shen Ling glanced at the boy lying beside her. After Chen Yun’s wife left, the family immediately lost their source of income. They only depended on their original savings to make ends meet, and sometimes they had to support their daughter and son-in-law who lived in other provinces. The life was very difficult.

Zheng Hao was originally when he was growing up, but he couldn’t keep up with the nutrition because of his poor diet. He looked very thin, even worse than the faces of Da Ya and Er Ya at the time.

Shen Ling gently caressed Zheng Hao’s cheeks. For the present, Zheng Hao’s plan is to feed Zheng Hao’s stomach before talking about health.

With the first experience before, Shen Ling quickly integrated into the role this time.

Chen Yun wakes up at 7 o’clock every morning and starts to boil water and cook after a simple wash.

It was winter at this time. Although it was still dark outside the windows, the clock in the living room rang seven times in less than a while.

Shen Ling couldn’t sleep anyway. I don’t know if it was because of the new environment or the body’s old age. She pushed the quilt aside, put on her clothes lightly, and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast after washing in the shoot room.

Next to the kitchen is the storage room. In the corner, there are dozens of dried cabbage and a small pile of carrots. Next to it is a celadon jar with mustard lumps. In addition, there are only a small half bag of cornmeal and two handfuls of white flour.

Shen Ling couldn’t help sighing, these stocks are not as large as those of the Song family! Fortunately, she was more mindful at the time, not only storing some food in the space, but also some fresh vegetables and eggs.

She used consciousness to communicate with the space, took out two pies and two eggs filled with chives and eggs, and then turned on the briquette stove to boil water for cooking.

The meal is ready in half an hour.

At this time, the sky was already slightly bright. Shen Ling went back to the bedroom to wake Zheng Hao.

Although Zheng Hao is already at the age of kindergarten, Chen Yun feels distressed about his thin body and fears that he will be bullied after he arrives in kindergarten, so he delays sending him inside. It’s just that Chen Yun is afraid that he won’t be used to getting up early when he goes to school in the future, so he wakes him up every 7:30 to prevent him from getting into the habit of sleeping late.

After Shen Ling awakened Zheng Hao, the latter spoiled her in her arms for a while before slowly putting on clothes.

When Shen Ling was stacking the bedding, she was still thinking that she had the experience of being a mother. When it was her turn to be a grandmother, she couldn’t accept it, and she gradually adapted to it.

So wait for Zheng Hao to sit at the dinner table and ask her: “Grandma, what are we eating today?”

Shen Ling replied naturally: “Today we have custard and pie.” She placed the golden bowl of custard in front of Zheng Hao and handed him another pie.

Zheng Hao stared at the bowl of custard in front of him, and couldn’t help swallowing, “Grandma, how come you have so many delicious foods?”

Shen Ling said: “The eggs and pies were secretly sent by a student of your grandfather. As long as you can keep this secret, grandma promises that you can eat these good things every day in the future, how about?” Chen Yun’s wife once After becoming famous, he was a university professor for several years, so Shen Ling said this.

Older children are not easy to fool, but four-year-old children are still very easy to fool.

Zheng Hao nodded hurriedly: “I can be conservative, I am sure that no one will tell.”

Shen Ling smiled, “Okay, Xiaohao is so good, let’s eat!”

After eating, Shen Ling took Zheng Hao to the study. The study was more spacious than the bedroom where the two slept. The three bookshelves placed against the wall were once full of books, but they were all taken away by the Red Guards and became empty.

Chen Yun always couldn’t help crying when she saw this scene, but when she changed to Shen Ling, she felt as long as people were there.

She took Zheng Hao’s hand to the desk by the window, sat on the chair by herself, then hugged Zheng Hao in her arms, and started the word recognition course.

After Zheng Hao finished learning the calligraphy, Shen Ling took the writing paper to the kitchen and burned it. After Chen Yun’s wife died, although the Red Guards came less often, they couldn’t relax their vigilance.

Seeing that the writing paper was completely burnt to ashes, Shen Ling left in front of the stove.

She was about to take some mung beans from the space to soak some mung bean sprouts, and she saw Zheng Hao running in from outside, “Grandma, those people wearing red armbands are here.”

Shen Ling remembered Chen Yun’s past experience, her face couldn’t help but change color, and she tried her best to hold her mind and said: “Don’t be afraid, they have copied all your grandpa’s books, at most you can ask a few words.”

Zheng Hao said in a low voice, “I didn’t come to our house, but to the next door.”

Amituo Buddha, Shen Ling couldn’t help but learn from Chen Yun and recite a sentence of Buddha, and the heart of mentioning it could not help letting go.

After a while, there was a sound of opening the door next door, mixed with shouts, and it seemed that someone was moving things.

After a long time, the next door finally became quiet. Zheng Hao snuggled against Shen Ling and asked in a low voice, “Grandma, should those people leave now?”

Shen Ling said: “Should go now!” She slowly stroked her heart. The heart of the elderly is somewhat unhealthy. Just now, she was scared by those people, and her heart was still a little bit painful.

Zheng Hao blinked, “Grandma, let me go out and have a look.”

Shen Ling also wanted to know if those people left, they didn’t stop them.

Zheng Hao came back very quickly, “Grandma, those people are gone.” He paused and said, “I still heard crying next door, Xu Shi An Rui was scared to cry by them again.”

Next door is a tall house with a garden. The owner, Xu Maoshan, is a well-known capitalist in this city. After a certain struggle began, his family was the first to bear the brunt. Those Red Guards came harder than Chen Yun’s. Perhaps because of the pity of the same disease, the two families that had little contact with each other have moved closer in the past few years.

Their granddaughter Xu Anrui was two years older than Zheng Hao, and because they had no playmates, the two children spontaneously played together.

Although Xu Anrui is two years older than Zheng Hao, she is weaker than Zheng Hao. Whenever those people came to copy things at home, Xu Anrui would be frightened and cry, and then followed up with fever and illness.

Sure enough, after lunch, Mrs. Xu knocked on the door, looking haggard, “A Yun, can you lend me ten dollars, An Rui is sick again.”

Shen Ling remembered that Chen Yun still had savings of more than two hundred yuan. She had lent money to Mrs. Xu before, and Mrs. Xu had no money to pay her back. Sometimes she would take some family items to repay her debts, and her character was still trustworthy, so she went to get the money. .

Chen Yun’s savings were put in three envelopes, one in the quilt, one in the pillow core, and one in the pickle jar.

Shen Ling took out ten dollars from it, thinking of the delicate and delicate An Rui in Chen Yun’s memory, took out ten eggs from the space, wrapped them in a handkerchief, and handed them to Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu, who was sitting in the living room, refused to pick up the eggs when she saw the eggs, “These eggs are very in short supply now, save them for Xiaohao!”

Shen Ling said in a low voice: “This egg was given by a student of Lao Lin. His student has a very wide path. He can make friends with everyone. It is not a problem to get some eggs and food.” Her words are also for the future ambush, if it is An Rui In the future, I accidentally saw Zheng Hao eating some good things, and just pushed it on the head of that imaginary student.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xu’s eyes suddenly brightened when she heard it, and she had an idea in her heart, but it was secretly suppressed. She just borrowed money from someone, so how can she ask for help again!

Shen Ling didn’t know the idea of ​​Mrs. Xu’s transfer. After sending Mrs. Xu away, she packed up some unused clothes at home and prepared to sell them to the consignment shop for some money.

Mrs. Xu used this method before to raise An Rui’s medical expenses, and she also told Chen Yun, but Chen Yun was ashamed of her face and always felt that it was similar to the **** in the old society, and she couldn’t accept it in her heart.

After changing to Shen Ling, there is no need for a face to face any face, and food is almost too much to eat, so what is the use of face.

She put the packed clothes into a bag of broken flowers on a blue background, told Zheng Hao a few words, and then went out and walked towards a store in her memory.
