Rebirth of a Village Girl

Wu Daming had been following Mo Qishen for so long, and he had never seen Mo Qishen in such a low profile.

Except after meeting Ni Yan.

Wu Daming picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, filled with emotions in his heart.

Ni Cuihua brought a plate of green apples and melon seeds, "Xiao Wu, we have apples and melon seeds here, you're welcome."

"Thank you, auntie." Wu Daming immediately put down his teacup and thanked him.

Ni Cuihua continued: "Xiao Mo, please let Xiao Wu eat quickly. He is embarrassed if I let him eat."

"Okay, Auntie." Mo Qishen nodded, picked up a green apple and stuffed it into Wu Daming's hand.

As soon as Ni Yan got home, she went to her room to take a look. She had been in the hospital for five days, and Ni Cuihua had kept the room very clean, without any dust at all.

A branch of pure white June snow poked in from the window, exuding a faint fragrance. There was a desk under the window. There was a stack of thick books on the left side of the desk, and an old-fashioned military green desk lamp with a pen holder next to it. It is filled with blue and black pens and pens of various colors.

Next to it is an oversized wardrobe with a full-length mirror installed on the door.

The furnishings are very simple, but reveal a touch of warmth.

"It's still more comfortable at home." Ni Yan closed her eyes and took a deep breath of air.

"Yanyan." Mo Qishen walked in from outside, "Do you have any band-aids here?"

Band-Aids were introduced to China in the 1940s, but they really entered the market around the 1970s. Because Ni Yan was a doctor, he had Band-Aids at home.

"Band-Aid?" Ni Yan frowned slightly, "Who is injured?"

"Wu Daming accidentally cut his finger while peeling an apple just now." Mo Qishen replied.

"Are you okay? Is the wound deep?" Ni Yan asked while opening the first aid kit.

"It's okay, just put a band-aid on it."

"Brother Mo, here it is." Ni Yan handed a band-aid to Mo Qishen.

The two came to the living room. Wu Daming was holding his fingers and pacing back and forth in the room, "Brother Six, do you have a band-aid?"

"Yeah." Mo Qishen nodded and walked over with a band-aid.

"How is it? Is the wound deep? Do you want to put some medicine on it and bandage it?" Ni Yan walked over with him.

"No need, Sister-in-law Six, it's just a broken skin." Wu Daming said as he put on a band-aid.

Ni Yan felt relieved now. He walked to the table, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea. He frowned slightly and said, "Brother Mo, why did you drink such strong tea? Did you not sleep well these past few nights?"

Speaking of which, Mo Qishen stayed on the sofa in the hospital these past few nights, so it was normal that he didn't sleep well.

Mo Qishen smiled and said, "I'm just used to drinking strong tea."

"Then why didn't I notice you drinking such strong tea before? While it's still early, go to my room and take a nap. I'll call you again during lunch." Ni Yan pushed Mo Qishen towards Walk inside the house.

"I am not sleepy."

"You're sleepy!" Ni Yan didn't give him any chance to refuse, and directly pushed Mo Qishen to the bed in the bedroom and sat down, "Go to bed quickly, it's only half past eight, and we have dinner at twelve noon, you can still sleep Three and a half hours.”

"I'm really not sleepy." Mo Qishen smiled helplessly.

"Go to sleep, go to sleep." Ni Yan pressed his shoulders and reached out to give him slippers. Mo Qishen immediately sat up and said, "Yanyan, I'll sleep, I'll sleep. I'll take off my shoes myself!"

Mo Qishen took off his shoes as he spoke.

Ni Yan pulled up a thin blanket and covered him, "I'm going out first. I'll call you after dinner."

"Yeah." Mo Qishen nodded.

Different from the imported Simmons European-style bed, the bed in Ni Yan's bedroom is a carved canopy bed. The canopy bed has a roof and columns and looks like a small house. The shelf is made of mahogany and is carved with simple patterns. It looks like Very safe.

There is a layer of dry straw under the sheets. It is soft to sleep on, and a faint fragrance lingers on the tip of your nose. It is the same as the smell on Ni Yan's body, and it smells very good.

When he thought that this was Ni Yan's bed and that the quilt was also covered by Ni Yan, Mo Qishen started to have wild thoughts. He pulled up the thin blanket and covered his face, took a deep breath, and soon fell asleep.

He slept very well, and he didn't wake up until Ni Yan asked him to get up to eat.

Lunch was very rich, including braised pork, mapo tofu, boiled fish, cold skin and tomato and egg soup.

Ni Yan's cooking skills are very good, and she can make an ordinary braised pork taste amazing.

Wu Daming ate three large bowls of rice in one go. As he ate, he said vaguely: "It's delicious! Sister-in-law Six, you are so awesome!"

Ni Yan smiled and said: "If it's delicious, just eat more. Don't be polite."

Wu Daming said: "Thank you, Sixth Sister-in-law."

Ni Yan reached out and picked up a piece of braised pork, bit off the lean meat and ate it, then put the fat meat into Mo Qishen's bowl.

Mo Qishen immediately picked it up and ate it.

This scene made Wu Daming stunned!

He originally thought Mo Qishen would pick it up and throw it away.

Unexpectedly, Mo Qishen picked it up and ate it, looking very happy!

Isn't this incredible?

Doesn't Mo Qishen have mysophobia?

When will his mysophobia be cured?

Wu Daming's face was full of black question marks at this time.

Seeing him like this, Ni Yan raised his eyes curiously, "Wu Daming, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, no." Wu Daming shook his head repeatedly and said casually: "I just ate too much."

"Go out." Mo Qishen said softly.

Wu Daming: "..." You are so promising, but you still eat the leftovers from your wife?

After dinner, Ni Yan sent Mo Qishen and Wu Daming back.

Wu Daming was very discerning and walked in front, leaving Ni Yan and Mo Qishen behind.

Ni Yan said: "Brother Mo, come to my house for lunch the day after tomorrow."

Mo Qishen nodded, "Okay."

Soon, they reached the entrance of the village, and the black luxury car was parked under the big banyan tree.

At first, when a luxury car was parked at the entrance of the village, the villagers were very surprised, and some even came over to watch. After all, cars are a rare item in this era, but now as the car is parked more and more often, everyone is no longer surprised. Weird.

Time flies by very quickly, and one day is left for little Ni Yun’s birthday. Ni Yan plans to have a good birthday for little Ni Yun, so he starts preparing birthday cakes today.

In fact, at this time, there were already cake shops in Beijing, but the custom-made styles were similar.

It was either a giant fairy peach or ancient flowers, and they were all made of pigmented cream, which was not healthy to eat, so Ni Yan planned to make a cake by himself.

Ni Yan is a person with strong execution ability. He immediately started to roll up his sleeves, stood in the kitchen and started working.

The first step in making a cake is to knead the flour.

Add eggs and milk to the flour and mix well, then add baking powder and knead into a ball. Let it ferment naturally for about 5 hours, then you can bake it in the oven.

Although Ni Yan does not have an oven, she does have a bread kiln. As long as the temperature is controlled well, the bread kiln can also be used to make cakes.

After kneading the flour, Ni Yan began to make butter.

In fact, making cream at home is very simple, as long as you prepare: eggs, milk, cooking oil and sugar.

First, separate the egg whites, put them in a bowl and stir in the same direction. After stirring a lot of foam, add milk, cooking oil, and white sugar, and then stir. Keep stirring for more than 20 minutes to allow the liquid in the bowl to become When it becomes a thick paste, the cream is ready.

After Ni Yan made the cream, he refrigerated it in the refrigerator. Now their home has all four major appliances.

The so-called four major appliances are: TV, refrigerator, air conditioner, and washing machine.

There is no air conditioning at this time, so the air conditioning is replaced by a window unit.

These four major appliances were given to them by Mo Qishen during the Liang Liang period.

Currently, only the refrigerator is in use, and the refrigerator and window unit have been installed in the new house. Ni Yan plans to move to the new house in another month.

After lunch, Ni Yan took a plastic bucket and went to the stream at the foot of the mountain.

This stream maintains water flow all year round. Even during drought periods, when the river dries up, this stream remains dry. In the days when there was no pollution from chemical plants, the stream was very clear, and you could see rainbows swimming in the water. Fish and snack sticks were a sight that could only be seen in the 1980s and 1990s. In later generations, with the rise of chemical plants, all streams turned into smelly ditches.

Ni Yan came here not to catch fish, but to pick up snails and crabs for Little Ni Yun's birthday tomorrow.

The snails and crabs growing in the stream are much more delicious than those growing in the river, but they are not the taste that can be eaten at night market food stalls in later generations.

Ni Yan placed the plastic bucket on the big rock, rolled up his trouser legs, and went down barefoot. The shallow stream water just reached his ankles. The snails were easy to pick up. He could touch a lot of them with just a touch.

Crabs are more difficult to catch. You have to turn over rocks one by one. There is usually only one crab hidden under a rock. However, because no one usually catches it, Ni Yan spent three hours and caught more than 30 crabs, plus snails. There is a small half bucket together.

Ni Yan was not greedy. He saw that it was almost enough to eat, so he went back with the plastic bucket.

Both snails and crabs need to be kept in clean water overnight. After they spit out the sediment, they can be put into the pot tomorrow.

The next day, Ni Yan got up early.

She sent the new clothes she secretly bought a few days ago to Ni Cuihua's room, "Xiao Yunyun, happy birthday, do you think this dress looks good?"

"Sister, give me a hug." Seeing Ni Yan, little Ni Yun opened his arms for a hug.

Ni Cuihua smiled and said: "Yunyun has too many clothes, why would you buy them for Yanyan? It's a waste of money."

Ni Yan said: "Today is Yunyun's birthday, so of course I have to wear new clothes. Mom, please put some clothes on Yunyun and try it on."

This is a set of red clothes with the word "Fu" printed on the face. It looks very festive. In addition, little Ni Yun is chubby. He looks like a little Fu baby when he puts on this suit.

Little Ni Yun, who put on new clothes, was very happy. He kept laughing and said vaguely: "Pretty good! Pretty good!"

"Yunyun, thank you sister quickly."

"Thank you sister."

Usually birthday banquets are held at noon, so after breakfast, Ni Yan started baking cakes.

The dough was kneaded yesterday afternoon, so it fermented very well. As soon as Ni Yan put the mold into the bread kiln, voices came from outside the door.

"Sister Ni Yan!"

Before anyone arrives, the sound comes first.

Two little guys, Yang Guobao and Mo Hudie, rushed in from outside.

"National treasure, Xiaodie."

Mo Hudie rushed over and hugged Ni Yan. Yang Guobao stood aside with a desire to survive and corrected: "Sister Ni Yan, you promised to call me Gou Bao, why did you forget again??"

Ni Yan freed up a hand and touched his little head, "Okay, okay, dog treasure, dog treasure."

"Yanyan." Then Mo Qishen, Mr. Mo, Mrs. Mo, Lin Pingping, Wang Meifeng, Zhou Suhua, Yang Dahai, Yang Changzheng and others also walked in.

"Aunt Mo, Uncle Mo, Sister Pingping, Aunt Yang, Uncle Yang, and sister-in-law, Brother Yang, you are all here!" Ni Yan was a little surprised.

Because Ni Yan is now Mo Qishen's girlfriend, there is a layer of seniority between her, so the name she calls Wang Meifeng's family has also been changed, otherwise it would be a bit confusing.

As for the two children, Yang Guobao and Mo Hudie, just follow their orders.

Mrs. Mo smiled and said, "Today is Xiao Yunyun's first birthday. Do you think we can't come?"

In China, a child's first birthday is taken very seriously. Normally, the child's grandmother comes to celebrate the child's birthday, but Ni Yan has no one in the capital, so Mrs. Mo came and prepared to give the child a good birthday. Ni Yun celebrated his first birthday and unexpectedly met Wang Meifeng's family on the way there, so they came together.

The more people there are, the more lively it is.

Ni Yan didn't tell anyone about little Ni Yun's birthday. Even Mo Qishen just asked him to come for lunch very tactfully. She was worried that Mrs. Mo and Wang Meifeng would spend money if they knew about it. The important thing is to waste time. Today is a working day and everyone has to go to work.

But unexpectedly, they came anyway.

It would be a lie to say that I am not impressed.

Hearing the noise outside, Ni Cuihua immediately came out with her child in her arms.

This was the first time Ni Cuihua met Mr. Mo and Mrs. Mo, so Ni Yan introduced them formally, "Mom, this is Brother Mo's mother, this is Brother Mo's father. Uncle Mo, Aunt Mo, this is It’s my mother, this is my sister Ni Yun.”

Compared with Ni Cuihua, Mr. Mo and Mrs. Mo are much older.

After all, there is a thirty-year age difference between the two parties.

Ni Cuihua immediately put down her child and reached out to Mrs. Mo and Mr. Mo, "Hello, you two, I am Yanyan's mother."

Old Mrs. Mo stretched out her hand to hold Ni Cuihua's hand and said excitedly: "Mother Yanyan, you have raised a good daughter!" Old Mrs. Mo looked at Ni Cuihua and suddenly felt a strange feeling. She continued: "Yanyan Mom, have we met before?"

She always felt that she and Ni Cuihua had a familiar feeling, but she couldn't remember where they had met.

Ni Cuihua was stunned for a moment, "No, maybe you remembered it wrong." Ni Cuihua has always been an ordinary rural woman. If she had seen such a noble old lady as Mrs. Mo, she would not have had any impression at all. of.

Mrs. Mo turned to look at Mr. Mo, "Old man, do you feel that Yanyan's mother looks familiar?"

Mr. Mo frowned slightly, "It seems... he looks a little familiar."

Mrs. Mo continued: "Mama Yanyan, where is your natal family from?"

Ni Cuihua said: "My mother's family is from Haicheng."

Mrs. Mo nodded, "Hello Haicheng. The girls from Haicheng are all very smart. No wonder you made Yan Yan so beautiful and sensible!"

"Hey, this is Xiao Yunyun, right? Can Xiao Yunyun be hugged by my aunt?" Originally, Mrs. Mo could be the grandma of little Ni Yun, but today she made an exception and became the aunt.

Little Ni Yun didn't even admit he was a stranger. He opened his arms and called her aunt, which made Mrs. Mo very happy.

If she wasn't already old, Mrs. Mo couldn't help but want to have another baby.

Ni Cuihua continued: "Let's all stop standing at the door and come inside and sit down."

A group of people entered the house.

Ni Yan took a disposable cup and made tea for everyone.

In fact, there were no disposable cups at this time. This cup was produced by a factory when Ni Yan customized milk tea cups.

"Yanyan, let me help you." Mo Qishen picked up the hot water kettle, Ni Yan put the tea leaves in, and he was responsible for pouring the hot water.

Because there were more people coming, the living room seemed a bit crowded.

This was Mo Hudie's first time in the countryside. She seemed very excited and was curious about everything she saw. Yang Guobao explained to her all the way, "Xiaodie, look, this is a bread kiln. Do you know what a bread kiln does?" ?"

"I don't know." Mo Hudie shook his head.

Yang Guobao said: "Xiaodie, you are so stupid! You are also a writer! As the name suggests, the bread kiln is used to make bread! And let me tell you, this bread kiln was made by myself and Sister Ni Yan! Look here , there are also handwritten words by sister Ni Yan and I.”

"Wow! It's true!" Mo Hudie looked envious. She also wanted to build a bakery with Sister Ni Yan!

Yang Guobao continued: "I have made many good friends in the village! Come on, Xiaodie, I will take you to meet my good friends!"

"Okay!" Mo Hudie happily followed Yang Guobao's footsteps.

Yang Guobao brought Mo Hudie to the secret base where everyone often played together. "Let me introduce to you Xiaohua, Fat Tiger, Guoqiang, Xiaoshuan, Zhuzi, and Yue. This is my good friend Mo Hudie. You call her Xiao." Just butterfly."

The children in the village greeted Mo Hudie very friendly.

After saying hello, Yang Guobao realized something was wrong, scratched his head and said, "Hey, where is Goudan?"

"Goudan is doing his homework at home." Fat Hu replied.

Yang Guobao said in surprise: "Goudan worked so hard today?"

Fat Tiger snickered, "He was beaten by his father!"

"No wonder!" Yang Guobao continued: "Then you guys play first, and I'll take Xiaodie to find Goudan."

Yang Guobao took Mo Hudie towards Goudan's house. As he walked, he introduced Mo Hudie, "Xiaodie, Goudan is my best brother. He and I are both men of the same generation!"

"Oh." Mo Hudie nodded.

After a while, they arrived at Goudan’s house, “Goudan Goudan!”

Yang Guobao stood outside the door and yelled.

After a while, Goudan ran out happily, cheering enthusiastically, "Goubao, you are here!"

The brothers shared a big hug.

"Goudan, let me introduce you. This is my good friend Mo Hudie. You can just call her Xiaodie. Xiaodie, he is Goudan."

"Hello Goudan."

"Fluttershy."

The relationship between the children is very simple, and there are not so many calculations. After a while, Mo Hudie was playing with everyone, and even knew how to squeeze the clay man and the clay house.

When Mo Hudie grew up, he realized for the first time that there were more interesting things in the world than writing.

This feels great!

Ni family.

Ni Yan was busy in the kitchen, and Mo Qishen was helping.

Ni Cuihua took care of her children while entertaining guests.

Originally Lin Pingping and Wang Meifeng wanted to come to the kitchen to help, but seeing how well Ni Yan and Mo Qishen matched up, they quietly walked away.

The couple got along so well, and if they went there again, they would become light bulbs.

For lunch, Ni Yan prepared four cold dishes, three stir-fried dishes, a soup, and a large pot of grilled fish.

Because there are a lot of people, if they cook all the dishes, they will be cold and tasteless by the time they are finished and brought to the table.

Let's grill the fish with side dishes and more, it's delicious and convenient!

For cold dishes, there are spicy and sour fungus, chicken feet with pickled peppers, and cucumbers and spinach mixed with vermicelli.

The stir-fries are: Spicy Crab, Spicy Stir-fried Field Snails and Stir-fried River Prawns with Green Beans.

Then another winter melon and kelp pork ribs soup!

Eating more kelp and winter melon in summer can help you lose weight and whiten your skin.

After preparing all the meals, Ni Yan stewed the grilled fish and side dishes in the pot, and then started making cakes.

The cakes baked in the bakery are very beautiful, golden and fragrant, making people salivate.

Mo Qishen said in surprise: "Yanyan, do you want to make your own birthday cake?"

"Yes." Ni Yan nodded, cut off a piece of cake leftovers and stuffed it into Mo Qishen's mouth, "Brother Mo, please try it."

It's soft in the mouth, with a strong milky aroma, it's fluffy, and it melts with just a sip. It's sweet and not too greasy, and it's many times more delicious than the ones sold outside!

"Delicious!" Mo Qishen nodded.

"That's good." Ni Yan brought cream, fruit, and cocoa sauce and started decorating the cake.

Because she wanted to share it with the children in the village, Ni Yan baked a total of four cake embryos, which meant that she wanted to make a four-layer cake.

Spread the cream and cocoa sauce evenly on each layer of cake, then add chopped mango and strawberry dices, garnish the top layer with a few cute cherries, and write " Happy birthday", a beautiful birthday cake is ready.

Simple, pretty, and delicious.

After making the cake, put it in the kitchen, and after lunch, eat the cake and blow out the candles.

There was no room for one table at noon, so Ni Yan put two tables together.

Everyone was chatting while eating and seemed to be enjoying themselves.

After eating, Ni Yan and Mo Qishen carefully lifted the cake to the center of the table.

"Wow, what a beautiful cake!"

"Yanyan, I heard Lao Liu said that you made this cake yourself?"

Ni Yan nodded, "Well, yes."

"Yanyan, you are so incompetent!" Lin Pingping exclaimed. Before meeting Ni Yan, Lin Pingping never knew that a girl could be so powerful!

Ni Yan refreshed her understanding of women and allowed her to see herself correctly!

If it weren't for Ni Yan, she wouldn't be where she is today.

Ni Yan smiled and said: "Sister Pingping, it's just a cake. It's not as exaggerated as you said."

Mrs. Mo looked at Ni Yan with a look of affection in her eyes.

How could such a good little girl take advantage of her son?

She was a little reluctant to let Ni Yan marry Mo Qishen.

Because little Ni Yun was too young, everyone helped blow out the candles in the end.

When cutting the cake, Ni Yan specifically asked Yang Guobao to call other children in the village.

In this era, cake is a rare thing. Most children of ordinary families can only boil an egg for their birthday. Where can I eat cake?

Some children even saw cake for the first time.

When they were given a piece of cake, the children were very happy and thanked Ni Yan sensibly.

The children's love for Ni Yan is not just an act.

Mr. Mo and Mrs. Mo were both very surprised. They had never expected that Ni Yan would be so popular in the village! And very loving!

Although there were a lot of people, luckily the cake was big enough so everyone could get a big piece.

Mrs. Mo smiled and said, "This is my first time to eat such a delicious cake!"

This is not a compliment to Ni Yan.

Ni Yan's craftsmanship is good. The cake is neither sweet nor greasy, and there are fruits sandwiched in the middle. It tastes unique and cannot be found in cake shops of this era.

Everyone else nodded in agreement, and even Wang Meifeng, who usually doesn't eat sweets, finished a piece.

Several people stayed at Ni's house until evening before going back.

In the evening, Mrs. Mo and Mr. Mo sat on the bed and chatted.

"Old man, Yanyan's mother is such a good person and beautiful. It's a pity that she became a widow at such a young age."

As a woman, Mrs. Mo knows how difficult it is to be a single mother.

Mr. Mo put down the newspaper, "Do you want to be a matchmaker again?"

Mrs. Mo smiled and said, "You really guessed it right. What do you think of Dehui?"

Mr. Mo hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Dehui has a good character and a good family background. He is also a university professor, which is really good. I just don't know if he can like Yanyan's mother."

After all, what are Shangguan Dehui's conditions? Shangguan's family is a wealthy family, so Mr. Mo's worries are not without reason.

Now it was Mrs. Mo's turn to be dissatisfied, "Why, Shangguan Dehui can't look down on Yanyan's mother? Yanyan's mother must look good, have a good figure, be cultured, and say she doesn't like her." , it’s also Yanyan’s mother who looks down on Shangguan Dehui!”

Ni Cuihua has no shortcomings at all in the eyes of Mrs. Mo. She is beautiful, has extraordinary conversation, and is several years younger than Shangguan Dehui.

After being scolded by Mrs. Mo, Mr. Mo immediately gave up, "Yes, yes, everything you say is right."

"That's right!" Mrs. Mo lifted up the quilt and walked down, "I'm going to call Mrs. Lin right now."

Mrs. Lin, as Mrs. Mo calls her, is a recognized matchmaker in this circle.

She likes to lead others when she has nothing to do.

After a while, Mrs. Mo came back dejectedly.

Mr. Mo raised his head and said, "How is it? What did Mrs. Lin say?"

Mrs. Mo sighed, "It's too late. Mrs. Lin has already introduced her natal niece to Dehui. It is said that both parties have a good impression. They will meet their parents soon to get engaged."

"What a coincidence?" Mr. Mo was a little surprised.

"No." Old Mrs. Mo continued: "You said that Xu Fen has been gone for so many years, and Dehui has not thought about marrying a daughter-in-law. Why did he marry him right now? Could it be that he found that big girl? ?”

Mrs. Mo and Mrs. Shangguan have a good relationship, so Mrs. Mo knows about Daya's existence.

Mr. Mo shook his head, "Probably not. Didn't you say that Mrs. Lin introduced her niece to Dehui? How could their niece become Daya?"

"Let's not talk about it anymore. Sooner or later, I will be able to say something good to Yanyan's mother!" Old Mrs. Mo continued: "By the way, old man, do you think Yanyan's mother looks like the same person?"

"Who does he look like?" Mr. Mo asked without raising his head.

"Looks like Ah Qing." Old Mrs. Mo said.

Ah Qing is Mrs. Zheng's maiden name.

Mr. Mo frowned.

Mrs. Mo continued: "Don't you think that Yanyan's mother looks more and more like Ah Qing when she was young?"

Mrs. Mo and Mrs. Zheng are close friends and grew up together.

Now that Mrs. Zheng is old, she can't see what she looked like when she was young. Only Mrs. Mo knows that Ni Cuihua's eyebrows show what Mrs. Zheng looked like when she was young.

After saying this, Mr. Mo's expression gradually became serious, "It seems, there is a bit of a resemblance."

Old Mrs. Zheng continued: "You said, if Yanyan's mother doesn't come back, it's Tingting?"

"Probably not..." Mr. Mo murmured, "By the way, where did Yanyan's mother say she is from this morning?"

"Haicheng." Mrs. Mo remembered it very clearly.

"Haicheng is thousands of kilometers away from the place where Tingting was lost. It should be impossible." Thirty years ago when transportation was underdeveloped, it would take several months to reach thousands of kilometers.
