Zhang Heng bent down and picked up the photo from his feet. Unlike other photos in the album, this photo was clamped in the album and not fixed, which is why it slipped out.
And unlike the other photos, this photo was taken significantly closer to now.
This is a group photo. There are more than 20 people in the whole photo. They seem to be members of an organization. They are all wearing thick warm clothes, waterproof jackets, hats, snow boots, and fully armed. They were standing on a glacier, with a dozen sled dogs beside them.
Zhang Heng found his father and mother in the crowd at a glance. Both of them looked very young. They were standing on the left side of the first row. His father made a V sign to the camera, and his mother Then he was busy stuffing the snow he grabbed from the ground into the former's collar, both of them smiling brightly.
But at this moment, Zhang Heng's eyes stopped on the person on the far right in the second row.
Zhang Heng's pupils shrank suddenly, because he actually saw in this photo the weird man in Tang suit who gave him an extra 24 hours. The latter also appeared in this photo, and he looked the same as when he first met him later. There was almost no difference in appearance when Zhang Heng was young.
However, he no longer wore the nondescript Tang suit, just a normal European dress. He looked very low-key in the photo, standing behind the others because he was not tall and half of his face was blocked. , he just looked at the other people around him with a smile.
Zhang Heng glanced at the date in the lower right corner of the photo. This photo was taken seventeen years ago. He should have been just over a year old at the time.
"Oh," Grandpa put on his reading glasses again, "This photo should have been taken during the last research project they participated in before returning to China. The location was in Greenland. It is said that the coldest place there can reach minus 70 degrees. Someone discovered ancient ruins or something there, and a large part of it was related to ancient mythology. Your parents were invited and hurried over."
"What was the result?" Zhang Heng asked.
"I don't know. I have never cared about such nonsense. In fact, I opposed your mother when she chose a major. But she has been interested in such weird stories and legends since she was a child. , your grandma stood with her again at that time. The only thing more difficult to convince than one woman is two women." Grandpa said, "Fortunately, they took you back to China after this project was over. I thought they would settle down. Choose a stable life, but they leave again after two years. When you become a parent, you will know that your children are always yearning for the outside world."
"Can I take this photo?" Zhang Heng asked.
"Of course, but wait until your parents come back and tell them. Anyway, I have a lot of other photos of them here." Grandpa looked at the woman with a sweet smile in the photo again, and finally closed the album in his hand, " Let's put the memories aside and finish the work at hand first. There are too many places to clean. Fortunately, you came back early. I knew those two people would definitely not be able to survive."
"Okay." Zhang Heng put away the photo, then pointed to the BB camera beside him and asked, "Do you still want this thing?"
"Yeah, your grandma gave this to me. I have a special box to store the things she gave me. I'll look for it and see where to put it."
…………
The two of them worked from morning to night before finishing the study, master bedroom and bathroom. In addition, there were two secondary bedrooms and the kitchen, which was the most troublesome part.
The next morning, Zhang Heng also turned over the soil in the small patch of land in the backyard so that he could plant things when the weather gets warmer next year. Seeing his skillful turning movements, his grandfather looked a little surprised, "What? Are there any activities for educated youth to go to the countryside in universities now?"
Zhang Heng shrugged, took the hot water from his grandfather, and took a sip.
Looking at the land he had plowed, it used to take him an hour and a half to plow such a small area, but now it only took him half an hour to do it, and the effect was better than Better before, he didn't deliberately practice skills like farming. Strictly speaking, this was just a small hobby of his.
However, eating at any time is the eternal pursuit of mankind, so he did spend some time on farming in the previous Desert Island Survival and later Black Sails dungeon. Although it was only a LV0 skill, it was enough for him. used.
"The progress is much faster than I imagined. If we keep going at this rate, we will almost finish it by tomorrow morning."
While the two were talking, the doorbell rang.
Zhang Heng was wearing old clothes from when he was digging the ground, and his shoes were covered with mud, so his grandfather had to open the door. Standing outside the door was a young woman who lived in the opposite door. There was a bit of anxiety between her eyebrows, and her grandfather After saying something, the latter's expression became serious and he nodded.
The young woman thanked her again and again, and after a while she led a little girl over.
"Lao Chen fell down on his leg while shopping for groceries. No one else in his family was there except for his daughter-in-law and granddaughter. His daughter-in-law sent the granddaughter to our place for a long time, and she had to go to the hospital to take care of him. Chen, Tiantian, you remember, right? She was always following you during your summer vacation in high school."
Grandpa made a brief introduction to the two of them, "Tiantian, do you still remember your brother Zhang Heng?"
The little girl was a little embarrassed and shrank behind her mother when she heard this.
"Anyway, I'll leave it to you to take care of Tian Tian." The young woman said gratefully.
"Don't worry, I have been watching her grow up. She is just like at home here. By the way, is Lao Chen okay?"
"The fall was not serious, but he has always had some osteoporosis, so he will probably have to recover for a while. The hospital has been urging me. I have to go there first. Tian Tian brought her homework and let her do it. .”
"Okay." Grandpa nodded without saying anything else. He sent the young woman away and led Tian Tian to the coffee table. He then moved a small stool for her and let her do her homework there.
Zhang Heng continued to stay in the backyard to deworm the infested osmanthus tree. As soon as he hung up the IV drip, he received a message from Ding Si.
The two met in the auction dungeon and left each other's contact information. Although Zhang Heng rarely interacted with other players, he did not reject a chamber of commerce like Fulou. The other party could provide him with points redemption, and For prop consignment services, you don’t have to wait until the auction starts. In addition, Fulou often has some useful props for sale or provides some useful information.
