Chapter 2 Portable Space
If this little meat was placed in later generations, it might not be enough for three people to eat for a meal, but in this era, it was a month's share and it was gone after eating. There was no place to buy it even if you wanted to buy it.
"I'll eat half of it, half for my sister."
Ye Lin broke the white flour bun and handed half to his sister. He knew that if he didn't eat it, his sister wouldn't be able to eat it. Li Ran would leave it for him until tomorrow morning, but he didn't give it to Li Ran because he knew that Li Ran wouldn't eat it.
Ye Qi did not take it over, but looked at Li Ran. Seeing Li Ran nodding, she took half of the white flour buns. In this family, there is no need to mention Ye Lin's status.
"Son, eat more eggs." Li Ran picked up chopsticks for Ye Lin and put them in a bowl.
"Mom, I can do it myself. You can eat it too, and sister." Ye Lin helped Li Ran pick up chopsticks, and then helped Ye Qi pick it up.
"Thank you son."
"Thank you brother."
"You're welcome."
In this family, all the good things are left for Ye Lin, because there is only Ye Lin in this family. Ye’s father died before Ye Qi was born, so Ye Lin’s arrival was considered to be a leave for the Ye family.
Ye Lin finished the steamed bun in a few mouthfuls, then drank the corn porridge, wiped his mouth, and said to Li Ran, "Mom, I want to go to my grandmother's house tomorrow."
"Go to my grandmother's house? Why do you think about going to my grandmother's house at this time?"
Although Ye Lin's grandmother's family also lives in the imperial capital, it is in the suburbs and in the mountains. It is not easy to go there. Ye Lin will not usually go there unless it is during festivals. Even if Li Ran accompanied him, he would not want to go there.
"Isn't this a holiday? I want to go to my grandma's house to have fun."
Hearing Ye Lin say this, Li Ran thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll take half a day off tomorrow morning and send you there."
Although the school is on holiday now, it is just a student's holiday. The teacher has not yet. Because the teacher still has to mark the papers and score it. It will take at least about a week for Li Ran to have a real holiday.
"Yeah, thank you mom."
"I'll go too." Ye Qi said at this time.
"Okay, you all go, wait until I finish the school business and go to pick you up."
"Yeah." Ye Qi nodded quickly and agreed.
Ye Qi is not like Ye Lin. She prefers to go to her grandmother's house because there are delicious foods in her grandmother's house. Of course, this is just about Ye Lin's grandmother's house. You know, this era was the era of eating big pot rice.
The reason why Ye Lin’s grandmother’s house has delicious food is because Ye Lin’s grandmother lives in the mountains. There is less arable land in the mountains and is relatively sparse, so the neighbors may be hundreds of meters away.
It is impossible to eat big pot rice together, so it is similar to the city, so each family should eat its own. Since it is in a mountainous area, it is not surprising to raise some chickens, ducks, geese, etc.
To be honest, my grandmother's family has helped them a lot over the years, otherwise how could she have eggs every day? Although she can only eat one meal every night, that's already very good. Many people don't eat it a few times a month.
In fact, Ye Lin’s grandfather’s family was also in the city before. Don’t forget that Ye Lin’s grandfather’s family was a scholarly family. The reason why he lives in the mountains is because of refuge. In that era of chaos, it would be better to live in the mountains.
I don’t know if I have lived there for a long time or have become accustomed to living, but I haven’t moved out after liberation.
In summer, it was dark late. After dinner, Li Ran packed up and went to wash the dishes. Ye Lin said, "Mom, I'll go out for a while."
"Well, go ahead, come back before dark."
"knew."
Ye Lin went out, and of course Ye Qi went out with him. When he walked out of the backyard, Ye Lin seemed to have completely changed, becoming a little dazed. Ye Qi was used to it, so he didn't feel anything was wrong.
My younger brother will only show his shrewd side when he is at home, and he will always be like this in front of outsiders.
There are many children in the slums, some older than Ye Lin and some younger than Ye Lin, but no one will mess with Ye Lin, because everyone knows that Ye Lin is a little stupid. Not only that, he is stupid and doesn’t care about that.
In this era, there are no entertainment projects at all, even children. Outside the slum, there are several boys about the same age as Ye Lin playing tops. When they see Ye Lin and Ye Qi coming, a boy shouted, "Er Sha, come and play together."
The nickname Ersha is of course Ye Lin. He is the second child at home and is a little stupid, so the children in the slums call him Ersha. Of course, everyone calls him Ersha behind his back, and Ye Lin is used to it.
This guy may not have seen Ye Qi. As soon as he finished calling, he heard Ye Qi scold him: "You are just stupid, your whole family is stupid."
"Uh! Ye Qi, why are you here?" the boy asked a little scaredly.
"Why can't I come here? This is not your home. Let me tell you Liu Wei and let me hear you call my brother Ersha, it looks good as you."
“Yes, yes, no more.”
Although Ye Qi is a girl, she is very powerful. Of course, it is also because of Ye Lin that Ye Lin doesn’t care about others calling him a fool, but he can’t see others bullying Ye Qi. If he sees it, it’s definitely a silly greeting.
It is also because of this that the children in the slums are afraid of Ye Qi. Of course, it is better to say that they are afraid of Ye Lin than to be afraid of Ye Qi.
"Let's go, brother, let's not play with them." Ye Qi pulled Ye Lin and left.
Ye Lin smiled bitterly and said "Oh" and followed Ye Qi away. The reason for his smile was that he knew that his sister was pulling him to play with girls. To be honest, Ye Lin was a little reluctant, but there was nothing he could do.
After playing outside for more than an hour, it got dark and the two of them went back. There was no TV at home. Not to mention their family, there was no TV in the entire slum. Only Mr. Hu in the front yard had a radio, and there was a large circle of people around him every day.
"Are you back? Take a shower and go to bed." Seeing the two of you coming back, Li Ran rubbed Ye Lin's head and said.
"Ye Lin nodded, went into the room and returned to the yard with a foreign porcelain basin and a towel.
Ye Lin’s family does not have a bathroom, even if they live in the backyard, because there is no place to build a bathroom. Ye Lin is a boy, so he just fetches a basin of water to wipe it in the yard, while Li Ran and Ye Qi are in the house.
"Mom, I've fallen asleep."
"Well, go ahead, remember to cover your stomach."
"knew."
Ye Lin’s family has three rooms, the main hall in the middle, and the east room is Li Ran and Ye Qi living in the west room alone. Of course, this started from last year’s change of houses, and they lived together before.
After entering the west room, Ye Lin turned on the light, cleaned up the bed, then turned off the light, and ran to the bed to lie down.
In the middle of the night, Ye Lin suddenly disappeared on the bed. Yes, he disappeared on the bed. Of course, it was not really gone, but entered his own space.
This space is the benefit Ye Lin gave to this era. The space is not large. There are three thatched huts inside. There is a yard outside the thatched hut. The yard wall is a fence wall, and there is a spring on the east side of the yard.
The place where the spring is located is a stone trough. The stone trough is only as big as a washbasin. Water is pouring out of the spring, but no matter how water is emitted, it seems that it will never be able to fill the stone trough that is large in the washbasin.
There was a tree next to the spring. Ye Lin didn't know what kind of tree it was because he had never seen it. It has been almost ten years since the tree had not grown up or bear fruit. It only had green leaves on it, and it never fell or withered.
On the west side of the yard, there are three nests and a circle. The three nests say chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs. There is no need to ask, this is the place where chickens, ducks, geese and pigs are raised, but there is nothing inside now.
There are ten pieces of land in front of the yard, each piece of land is only about one cent, which means there is a total of one acre of land. Similarly, there is nothing on these ten pieces of land, and there is not even a grass.
There is a mountain behind the thatched hut. Ye Lin didn't know how tall the mountain was, because he could only see dozens of meters high, and he couldn't see it up. As for why he knew that it was a mountain, not a wall, it was because there was a waterfall flowing down from above.
There is a pool at the foot of the mountain, with an area of about one acre. It is such a large pool. The waterfall has been flowing for nearly ten years but has not been filled. And it was like what it was like at the beginning.
The entire space is so large. Except for these places, whether to go left, right, or forward, they are covered by darkness. Ye Lin tried it but couldn't get through it at all.
I don’t know if this space will increase in the future, but it shouldn’t be, because there was this space since Ye Lin came to this era. It has been almost ten years since now, and there has not been any change in this space.
In the afternoon, Ye Lin said that he should do something, just to use the space. He was still young before, and although his life was hard, he was not hungry. But he couldn't do it in the future. The three-year period of suffering was about to come.
The three-year period of suffering starts from the second half of this year. Now the city is a little better. In the countryside, there are now food outages, and it will become more and more serious.
This is why Ye Lin went to his grandmother's house at this time, because his grandmother's house had food and it was food that could be used as seeds. This was not available in Sijiu City, so he could only go to his grandmother's house.
After calculating the space again, Ye Lin came out of the space. Although Ye Lin stayed in the space for a long time, only a few minutes passed outside.
Let’s put it this way, one hour outside is twenty-four hours in the space, which means that one hour outside has been a day since the space has passed, which is definitely what Ye Lin likes to see more.
What does a 24-fold time flow rate represent? The food grown can be shortened by 24 times. Of course, this refers to the time outside.
