"Maya, you just traveled through time and you've finished playing in half a month?"

Chen Tianhua's mind was in panic, and he felt sad in his heart.

Suddenly, several figures appeared on the shore. While trying desperately to save himself, he opened his mouth and shouted: "Help...help...life..."

Before the next words could be uttered clearly, several large gulps of water poured into my mouth.

A sharp pain shot up from both legs, and he struggled and suddenly his vision went black.

…

When he regained some consciousness, he felt that his entire body was hanging upside down on the back of a strong man.

The man kept jumping on the bluestone on the shore.

"Wow...wow..."

Chen Tianhua spit out a large puddle of water and poured the sour smell into his nose. However, the pressure on his chest and bulging belly had subsided a lot. His breathing seemed to be much smoother, and his consciousness began to clear up.

He was so weak that he couldn't even raise his eyelids.

"If the lake water is poured out, this little kid can survive!"

"This little kid is very lucky. Fortunately, a few of us discovered it, otherwise...it would have been a disaster."

"Hey Genzi...this face looks like...that of Chen Laoqi who just died...his son Tugen." The man next to him who was helping to support Chen Tianhua's body said in shock.

"He is Tu Gen, my poor cousin..." The tall man who was carrying the man on his back said in a buzzing voice.

"Look, even we can't get rid of this big-legged river clam. This little cub is as big as a brat and greedy!"

"..."

A few more villagers gathered around, all lamenting.

As if tumbling down from a high mountain, Chen Tianhua felt pain and heaviness all over his body, his head was dizzy and painful, and his ears were ringing.

He opened his heavy eyelids with all his strength, and what came into view were the rough faces of several men.

His head was buzzing, and he couldn't remember who the people in front of him were. Maybe Tugen himself was not familiar with these people, so he didn't leave any impression on his mind.

Oh shit, I didn't die, I came back to life.

Think about it, after only fifteen or six days, you let yourself die. Do you want me to wear it again?

If this is the case, thank God!

However, how could God be willing to do this business at a low cost?

Chen Tianhua woke up and thought to himself with a wry smile.

By this time, the sun had set and the sky became gray and misty.

Chen Tianhua was wearing a pair of short linen shorts and was lying on the bluestone bank of the lake. His body was hard and cool.

Next to him, a broad-faced man in his thirties, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and big hands, was smiling stupidly at him.

He is the muscular man who just carried Chen Tianhua on his back.

"Tugen, are you feeling better now?" the adult man asked.

Chen Tianhua nodded with gratitude. He couldn't think of the other person's name for a moment.

"Okay, I'll take you home."

As soon as he finished speaking, the big man picked up Chen Tianhua's arms and put him on his back easily like a bundle of straw.

At the same time, the other two men stretched out their strong hands and lifted the big wooden basin of river clams, walking as fast as flying.

After about twenty steps to the door of his house, Chen Tianhua said that they were not allowed to send him in and that he had to come down and walk by himself.

"Thank you, brothers. I'll go back by myself. I don't want my mother to know about this, lest she worry and nag me."

These men nodded in agreement. Chen Laoqi had just died, and his son Tugen, who barely survived a narrow escape, almost drowned in Henghu Lake. How could this not make the family worried?

"Tugen...can you do it?" the big man put Chen Tianhua down and asked with concern.

"No problem, Brother Genzi..."

Chen Tianhua's brainwaves finally showed information about this big man: his name is Lin Gen, and he is the second eldest child in the third aunt's family.

"Okay, let's go back..." Lin Gen waved his hand and left with his two companions.

Seeing Lin Gen and the others gradually disappearing into the dusk sky, Chen Tianhua finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Maya, it was too dangerous just now.

There was no one around, except for the sound of pots and pans coming from the closed doors of the neighbors, who were all having dinner at home.

It's good that no one in the neighborhood saw it...otherwise, someone would be gossiping again.

Chen Tianhua held his breath and bent down to carry the big wooden basin, but the big wooden basin filled with river mussels was so heavy that he couldn't move it even a few steps...

At this time, he saw his little sister Youjuan running to the lake shore to look around. It was probably because his mother was a little worried when she saw that he had not returned home for so long.

"Youjuan...little sister..." Chen Tianhua shouted at the top of his voice.

"Hey brother...how did you get to the shore?"

Youjuan ran over in surprise. She was very puzzled as to why her brother carried the big wooden basin to the shore instead of floating it along the water to the landing in front of the house, where it would save effort and time.

"Stop being so nagging, go home quickly and ask your eldest sister to help carry it back." Chen Tianhua bluffed.

He didn't want to explain, and couldn't explain, so he had to fight back.

"oh…"

Youjuan was inexplicably rebuked by her brother, and she didn't dare to say anything anymore. She had no choice but to stick out her tongue, make a face, and run in to ask her elder sister to come out...

After a while, the eldest sister Tingjuan ran out, and the two brothers worked together to carry the big wooden basin back home.

As soon as Chen Tianhua entered the house, he smelled the aroma of braised pork.

"Mmm, it smells so good! It makes your mouth water."

"Brother, we have been waiting for you. We have braised pork to eat tonight!" Youjuan was so excited that she danced like a Chinese New Year.

After a while, Xue Wanzhen brought up a copper basin of braised pork.

"I've asked you to eat enough today. You've been hungry for more than half a year. Mom has cooked four kilograms of meat and left half of it in the pot to eat tomorrow."

Well, authentic Jiangsu and Zhejiang braised pork, add cooking wine, sugar, spices, and cook over low heat. The meat will be tender but not falling apart, and oily but not greasy.

This is slightly different from the Dongpo pork eaten in later generations in terms of process. It looks good in appearance but is similar in essence.

Chen Tianhua picked up a piece with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. It melted in his mouth without chewing much. It was very fragrant and tasty, so delicious.

I haven't eaten a piece of meat for more than half a month, and I haven't even smelled the smell of meat. This kind of ascetic lifestyle would have been unimaginable before time travel.

Both Youjuan and Tingjuan couldn't restrain their greed and started eating with their chopsticks before their mother could say anything.

Instead of blaming her, my mother took out a small jar of Shaoxing rice wine from under the big bed in the back room and said:

"It's been seven or eight years. Your uncle sent it to you back then, but your father couldn't bear to drink it. If you're happy today, let's celebrate the New Year!"

"..."

After dinner, Chen Tianhua, with a red face and a mouth full of alcohol, took out a towel and toothbrush, and patiently explained the truth to his mother and sisters:

"I'm going to use a blue towel, and you girls can use this red one. The original one should be changed to a foot towel."

"Everyone has a toothbrush and remembers its color. Every day at least once you get up in the morning, you brush your teeth. At night, you rinse your mouth before going to bed. Just squeeze out a little toothpaste. This is for oral hygiene, preventing bacteria from invading the mouth, and increasing people's health.

.”

After speaking, he gave everyone a demonstration in the washbasin.

"I don't understand what you mean by 'buckle the wall' or 'Western Army'. You young people go ahead and use it. I'm better off with my old habits!" Xue Wanzhen disagreed and didn't want to listen to these nagging.

"Well, grandma, this was taught by the foreign priests in the school. It makes sense. You see, you are only forty years old and half of your teeth are rotten. If you don't protect them, you will lose them all in the future. Then it will be troublesome to eat.

.”

Chen Tianhua had no choice but to bring in foreigners to speak out.
