After dinner, Wang Zhong, his eldest sister, and Liu Nian were sent out by his uncle and his wife. Wang Zhong didn't know if Liu Nian knew that the elders asked them to go on a blind date, but Wang Zhong didn't have the slightest idea about Liu Nian.
First of all, not to mention that Liu Nian was not Wang Zhong's type. Secondly, the two of them had grown up together. Wang Zhong simply regarded Liu Nian as his younger sister.
"There's not much to do in the county, why don't we go to the city for a walk?" the eldest sister suggested.
In the small county town, even the movie theaters are very simple, and there is not even a shopping mall. There are only a few markets and a few supermarkets. There are some scenic spots, but the three of them are used to watching them, and they don't think they are worth seeing.
"I have no objection!" Wang Zhong said.
Liu Nian held the eldest sister's hand and said with a smile: "I don't have any objection either!"
Because they were going out, both sisters put on light makeup and dressed up. The eldest sister was carrying a handbag, and Liu Nian was carrying a small pink satchel.
"Are you going to wait for me here or go to the parking lot together?"
"Xiaozhong, have you bought a car?"
Seeing Wang Zhong take out the car keys, the eldest sister looked at Wang Zhong in surprise and asked.
"Living in the countryside, it's more convenient to have a car!" Wang Zhong smiled and pressed the unlock button.
"Which parking lot should I park my car in?" Parking spaces in the community are so scarce that every time the eldest sister's boyfriend comes, he can only park his car in a public parking lot.
"The one at the bridge." Wang Zhong said.
Liu Nian suggested: "How about we walk there together, it's not far anyway."
"OK!"
It only took five or six minutes to walk. Looking at the brand new dark blue pickup truck with flashing lights in front of her, the eldest sister was a little surprised, but then she felt relieved and said with a smile: "I thought you would buy a car or an SUV!"
"Although cars and SUVs are good, they can't carry goods!" The car was unlocked and the eldest sister got into the passenger seat. Liu Nian opened the rear door directly.
"Oh! The interior is not bad!" The eldest sister looked at the decoration in the car and nodded. But when her eyes fell on the gear, she couldn't help but shook her head: "It would be nice if it had an automatic transmission!"
Wang Zhong smiled and explained: "Pickups are trucks, and most of them have manual transmissions. My car still burns diesel!"
The eldest sister doesn't know much about this, and Liu Nian doesn't know much about it, but the interior of the car is indeed pretty good.
Mainly because it is a new car, it is clean and tidy, and there are no clutter.
"It's quite comfortable to sit!" the eldest sister said with a smile.
"Fasten your seat belts, let's go and have fun!" Wang Zhong also smiled, started the car, stepped on the clutch, put it into gear, drove out of the parked car, and then got on the provincial highway and headed straight for City J.
I spent a whole day playing in the city with my eldest sister and Liu Lian. I treated them to a hot pot dinner in the evening. I went to see the lights and take pictures in the evening. I played until 11 o'clock in the evening and had a midnight snack. Now If they want to go back, they will be told again, and the three of them find a hotel nearby to stay.
At noon the next day, Wang Zhong sent the two of them back to the county. He took his time and bought a lot of things before embarking on the journey back to the village.
As for the blind date, Wang Zhong didn't mention it, and Liu Nian didn't mention it either. They always had phone calls and WeChat messages, but they didn't chat much.
Naturally, the first thing I did when I got home was to report to my uncle and aunt.
Knowing that the blind date failed, my uncle and aunt sighed one after another. In turn, my aunt and uncle advised Wang Zhong: "It's okay, it won't work once. We have a second and third time. With your second aunt and your aunt, I I have told them, and they are also helping you look for someone. If there is a suitable one, we will go to look for him."
Wang Zhong suddenly had the urge to shoot himself in the foot, but looking at his uncle and aunt who were already so old, he couldn't say no.
"Okay, if you have any news, please call me directly!"
In the next few days, Wang Zhong stayed at home, tinkering with the renovation of his home.
The entire yard was renovated. First, the drainage channels were reorganized, and then a five-centimeter-thick bluestone slab was laid on the original cement floor.
It took Wang Zhong three days of effort to complete it.
On the fourth day early in the morning, at 4:30 in the morning, Wang Zhong woke up. After washing up, he put on his running shoes and ran from his door to the river, along the canal that his ancestors had worked together to dig decades ago. I ran all the way for more than ten minutes, then followed the path and ran all the way into the mountains. The uneven roads and steep and difficult mountain roads were okay if I walked slowly, but if I started running, it would test my eyesight and reaction.
Even though Wang Zhong's agility attribute was several times higher than the peak of ordinary people, he still had to be alert when traveling at high speed on the mountain road.
It only took ten minutes to run from the foot of the mountain all the way to the top. Despite Wang Zhong's strong physique, he couldn't help but be out of breath, and his highly tense spirit was finally able to relax a little.
After resting for five minutes, and waiting for his breath to calm down, Wang Zhong had just set up his stance, preparing to throw a few punches, when suddenly a clear mechanical sound sounded.
[The copy world "Children of the Qiao Family" has been successfully anchored. The channel is being constructed. The countdown is six days, 23 hours, 59 minutes and 56 seconds. Host, please be prepared...]
Children of the Qiao family?
Wang Zhong was stunned for a moment, quite surprised. Wang Zhong has naturally seen one of the rare good dramas in recent years, and the characters in it are also very fleshed out.
Qiao Yicheng is strong and responsible, kind and has high self-esteem. He became a father and a mother at a young age. He raised his younger brothers and sisters and cared about them all his life.
Qiao Zuwang, the scumbag father who made people gnash their teeth, would eat half of a steamed egg, and the remaining half would belong to his four children.
Qiao Erqiang, who is stupid and foolish but also likes Qiao Erqiang who insists on having his own way, falls in love with his master and raises a son for someone else's life.
The cute and sensible Qiao Sanli was left with a shadow due to her childhood misfortune.
She was cute when she was young, but when she got older, she turned into a love brain, making people look at Qiao Simei who wanted to rush into the TV and break her legs...
Thinking of the plots he had watched, Wang Zhong was a little unsure as to what the system's mission would be.
But if nothing else, the danger is definitely not dangerous.
Taking two deep breaths and getting rid of distracting thoughts in his mind, Wang Zhong gathered his mind, opened his boxing frame, and started practicing his fists and kicks in the open space on the top of the mountain.
An hour later, he returned home. After washing up, he ate the porridge and steamed buns he had cooked before going out in the morning. He went to his uncle's house to take their pulse and check his body. Wang Zhong then returned home and turned on his computer. , found the drama "Children of the Qiao Family" and started watching it from the beginning.
The TV series with a total of thirty-six levels is not long, but it is so watchable that even Wang Zhong couldn't help but feel sad.
At around nine o'clock in the evening, Wang Zhong had just finished washing and was getting ready to go to bed. Suddenly there was a sound from his cell phone. Wang Zhong opened it in confusion and saw that it was a WeChat message, and it was sent by Liu Nian.
"Have you slept?"
Wang Zhong had no expression on his face and replied with a few words: "I just finished washing and getting ready to go to bed."
There was another soft sound: "Go to bed so early?"
Wang Zhong quickly clicked on the screen with both hands: "Go to bed early and get up early for good health. I'll go to bed first, and you should rest early!"
After saying that, he muted WeChat and all message reminders, leaving only the sound of the phone. This was mainly because he was afraid that his uncle and aunt would have something urgent at night, and Wang Zhong would be able to receive the call as soon as possible and rush over.
As for Liu Nian, Wang Zhong ignored him.
Although they were related, they were only distant relatives. Wang Zhong didn't have any serious thoughts about the girl, so there was no need to provoke her.
Besides, Wang Zhong is not the kind of stallion who can't walk around when he sees a woman.
Small bean sprouts like Liu Nian are really not Wang Chongcai.
Although Wang Zhong's requirements for a partner put more emphasis on character than appearance, he really didn't have the slightest thought for Liu Nian who had watched him grow up since he was a child.
On the other side, in a girly pink boudoir, several rag dolls of different sizes were lying on the bed, leaning against the cabinet. The petite and slender Liu Nian was lying on the bed, with the pillow under his head instead of a pillow. It was a Pikachu doll, and there was a large brown bear doll with a wide body and fat body lying next to it.
Looking at Wang Zhong's reply on WeChat, Liu Nian was stunned for a moment, then frowned.
Liu Nian naturally told her about her blind date with Wang Zhong. Before she went there, her aunt, Wang Zhong's aunt, and cousin had told her, but she didn't have any thoughts about Wang Zhong. The reason why she went there was just to deal with herself. Just parents and aunt.
But women are very magical animals. When a man is passionate about them, if they find it pleasing to their eyes and in line with their aesthetics, they may be shy, but they will definitely respond.
But if the other person is not their type, they will be disgusted and disgusted by it.
But if you ignore them and show no interest in them at all, they will think randomly. Is it because you are not attractive enough? Definitely not, it's because the other party has no vision or something.
Seeing Wang Zhong's perfunctory response, Liu Nian felt a little unhappy. He took the initiative to chat with him, but he was so indifferent! No wonder I can’t find a girlfriend at twenty-six, huh...
Wang Zhong naturally didn't know that his answer made his distant cousin have such thoughts.
But even if he knew, Wang Zhong wouldn't do anything.
explain? It doesn't exist. What's the explanation? There's no idea of men and women at all. What's the explanation?
In the next few days, Wang Zhong lived as usual. The house and yard were almost renovated, but it took another two days to clean and clear away the garbage.
After that day, Liu Nian never contacted Wang Zhong again, and Wang Zhong didn't think anything was wrong. There was no news from his aunt and aunts.
Time passed day by day, and soon it was time to enter the copy.
This time, instead of lying on the bed, Wang Zhong sat on the sofa, brought up the system panel, and looked at the countdown on it.
[The channel is under construction, countdown to enter the copy: 10, 9, 8, 7...]
Watching the countdown numbers continue to change, and when it finally reached 0, the virtual screen changed again.
"The channel is constructed successfully. The host can choose to enter the copy "Children of the Qiao Family" immediately, or delay entering the copy for ten minutes."
Can entry be postponed? It seems to be a new feature.
[Since the host has completed the novice mission and gone through three dungeon worlds, the system permissions have been upgraded. Please experience it yourself. 】
The sound of the system is still the cold, emotionless electronic synthesized sound.
Wang Zhong had a thought in his mind and said silently: "Enter immediately!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a white light flashed in front of him. The dazzling white light made Wang Zhong subconsciously close his eyes. His eyes were filled with white. The white light seemed to have magic power. Even with his eyes closed, Wang Zhong's consciousness gradually became lost, completely. Fell asleep.
When Wang Zhong regained consciousness, he opened his eyes again, and there was light in front of his eyes. He was in a strange place. He was lying on the bed. There were no furnishings in the room, and the decoration was very period.
There was also a strange memory in his mind, which was Wang Zhong's identity and memory in this world.
His name is still Wang Zhong, it is now seven or eight years, his identity in this world is sixteen years old, and the spring breeze of reform and opening up has already begun.
The identities in this world are a bit interesting. Her mother's surname is Qiao, and her name is Qiao Dani. She is Qiao Zuwang's biological aunt, and her father's surname is Wang, and his name is Wang Dazhi. Not for heavy babies.
Wang Dazhi was originally from Wuling. He joined the army in the Nanjing Military Region. He was the only one in the family. Wang Dazhi had no relatives in his hometown. After he retired from the army, job allocation became a problem. Fortunately, Wang Dazhi’s old leader in the army was the same as at that time. The director of Yuhong Machinery Factory is an old comrade. With this relationship, Wang Dazhi was also assigned to Yuhong Machinery Factory. He met Qiao Dani in the machine factory, fell in love with her, and got married.
The two had been married for many years, but had no children. It was not until 1962 that they had Wang Zhong. Unfortunately, they both died in an accident eight years ago.
Wang Zhong was only eight years old at the time, so Qiao Zuwang, Qiao Dani's only nephew, naturally became the only person to handle the funeral arrangements for Qiao Dani and her family.
Wang Dazhi and Qiao Dani's pensions were almost pocketed by Qiao Zuwang. Fortunately, Wang Zhong's cousin, Qiao Yicheng and their mother Wei Shuying was there, and Wei Shuying took the initiative to collect Wang Dazhi and Qiao Dani's pensions for Wang Zhong. got up.
It's a pity that Wang Zhong was only fifteen years old when Wei Shuying left a year ago, and Wei Shuying left so suddenly that she didn't even have time to explain her funeral.
At the beginning of the year, when Wang Zhong turned sixteen, he entered the Yuhong Machinery Factory under the arrangement of the street. He started as an apprentice. Due to his parents' reasons, the factory gave him twenty-two yuan a month. salary.
After sorting out the extra memories in his mind, Wang Zhong became more conscious.
Calculating his status in this world, he is Qiao Zuwang's cousin and the cousin of Qiao Yicheng's brothers and sisters.
My home is in the same alley as Wang Chong's home, but four or five houses apart. The layout is similar, with a small patio, three rooms, and a kitchen.
When his parents left, he was young in this world and lived with Qiao Zuwang and Wei Shuying. However, after Qiao Simei was born five years ago, Wang Zhong moved back to his own home.
However, we still had our meals at Qiao's house. Afraid that she would not dare to sleep alone, Wei Shuying asked Qiao Yicheng and Wang Zhong to sleep together for a few years.
But since Wei Shuying suffered a massive hemorrhage when she gave birth to Qiqi last year, Qiao Yicheng, the eldest brother, moved back to Qiao's house.
Qiao Zuwang is unreliable. For the sake of his younger brothers and sisters, Qiao Yicheng can only go back and take care of them...
Shaking his head, the memory in his mind became clearer.
Today seems to be the wedding day of the son of their neighbor Sister Wu, that is, the warm-hearted and kind neighbor whom Qiao Yicheng and others call Aunt Wu. He even asked the factory for a half-day leave to visit Sister Wu's house.
Because she is alone, Sister Wu has been helping herself in this world in recent years.
Although Wang Zhong in this world is not old, his seniority is not low. Sister Wu calls the mother of this world, Aunt Wu Dani, and Wang Zhong naturally calls her sister.
Sister Wu also liked Wang Zhong calling her that.
Following the memory in his mind, Wang Zhong got up, washed up, walked to the kitchen, opened the lid of the rice vat, looked at the vat full of rice, and breathed a sigh of relief.
There were a lot of dry goods hanging around the kitchen, and there was even half a smoked bacon and a 60-centimeter piece of sausage in the cupboard.
The system is quite powerful, and I didn't directly make myself miserable.
His stomach was already growling with hunger. Wang Zhong used an enamel teapot to scoop out four teacups of rice. After washing it with a grate, he poured it directly into the iron pot, poured in water, cut half of the bacon, half of the sausage, and all the rice. Cut into thin slices, spread on the rice, then burn coals to start steaming the rice.
Taking advantage of the break of steaming rice, Wang returned to the house. Following his memory, he returned to the house and dug out a small iron box from the cabinet in the bedroom. Inside was what he had saved in this world in the past half year. salary.
Opening the iron box and looking at the more than sixty yuan inside, Wang Zhong showed a smile. This system is quite user-friendly. The identity is implanted, and not only does it have memory, but there is also a salary and other things that should be provided.
The rice hadn't been steamed yet. Following the memory in his mind, Wang Zhong walked straight towards Qiao's house. Although he was a few houses away, Wang Zhong's five senses were so sharp. As early as when he was at home, Wang Zhong heard The movement here.
Sister Wu's house and Qiao's house are separated by a wall. If Wang wants to go to Qiao's house, he must first pass by Sister Wu's house. Although it is early and the banquet has not started yet, the helpers have already started to prepare. ,
Sister Wu’s name is Wu Sufen. She is almost forty years old.
Wearing a red shirt with light lines, a rare light makeup on his face, and his hair permed, he looked very energetic.
"Sister Wu!" Wang Zhong greeted Sister Wu with a smile.
"Oh! It's Xiao Zhong! It's so early!" Turning around and seeing Wang Zhong, her eyes lit up immediately and a smile appeared on her face. Sister Wu had always had a good impression of Wang Zhong, who had been sensible since he was a child.
"Sister Wu, you are dressed so nicely today, are you planning to steal the limelight from your daughter-in-law?" Wang Chong smiled and joked with Sister Wu.
"What are you talking about!" Sister Wu waved her hands and smiled like a flower. Naturally, she would not take Wang Zhong's joke seriously.
"I compliment you on your beauty today!" Wang Zhong did not hesitate to praise him at all.
"Xiao Chong, please eat some honey before going out this morning! Your little mouth is so sweet." Sister Wu's smile became even bigger, she was very happy.
Wang Zhong smiled and said: "I'm going to take a look at the two strong men first, and I'll come over to help later!"
"No, no, just remember to come over for dinner when the banquet starts later. There are enough people to help, so I don't need you!" Of course Sister Wu didn't dislike Wang Zhong.
Although it was a banquet, the real busy people were the female comrades who were responsible for serving and cleaning, and the chefs in charge of the kitchen.
As for firecrackers and fireworks, they are expensive things now. Putting two firecrackers on and listening to them is already considered a luxury.
"I've been waiting for you to have a dinner here all night!"
"Eat it so hard that you can eat as much as you want!" Sister Wu said with a smile on her face.
As soon as she finished speaking, she realized what she was doing and looked at Wang Zhong with some surprise, "You little kid, you've got your ideas straightened out today!" Before she could ask in detail, another voice called her from inside the room.
"I'm coming!"
Sister Wu shouted at the room, then turned to Wang Zhong and said: "Okay, I'm too busy here, so I won't greet you. Come over by yourself when the banquet starts!"
"You are busy first!"
Watching Sister Wu turn around and enter the courtyard, Wang Zhong's smile gradually faded away. He walked to the door of Qiao's courtyard, picked up the knocker and knocked on the old wooden door.
"Second Qiang, open the door!" A young male voice came from the courtyard, and Wang Chong clearly heard that it was Qiao Yicheng's voice.
"Who is it?" Immediately, there was a rush of footsteps in the courtyard, followed by the voice of the second strongman outside the door.
"It's me!" As soon as Wang Zhong finished speaking, a surprised voice came from the room: "Brother-in-law?"
Immediately afterwards, the door latch was heard, and the old wooden door was opened from the inside, and the delicate and thin boy who reached Wang Zhong's lower abdomen appeared in front of Wang Zhong.
"Uncle!" Er Qiang said with some surprise.
"Have you had breakfast?" Wang Chong asked with a smile as he stepped across the threshold.
"The eldest brother is cooking porridge!" Erqiang liked his uncle Wang Zhong very much, because in recent days, a lot of the half of bacon and a sausage left at Wang Zhong's house had gone into the stomachs of the four Qiao brothers and sisters. inside.
"Uncle!"
"Uncle!"
When Sanli and Simei saw Wang Zhong, they also gathered around and greeted Wang Zhong enthusiastically.
"Sanli, Simei!" Sanli is six years old this year, and Simei is four years old. They are both very thin and frail. They are like two stunted little bean sprouts. Their hands and face must have just been washed. , it looks quite clean, but the hair is a bit messy and the braids are crooked and not very decent. Many of the broken hairs are not tied up at all, and they look a bit loose and messy, which makes people feel distressed.
The motherless child has to be taken care of by his two brothers. The twelve-year-old brother has to make breakfast for the whole family. The nine-year-old second brother is a loser. Naturally, only Sanli can do things like braiding hair. Come.
"Where is Qiao Zuwang?" Wang Zhong always called Qiao Zuwang by his first name, not his cousin.
"Dad hasn't gotten up yet!" Erqiang said.
Wang Zhong's face instantly darkened when he heard this. Seeing it on TV and seeing it in real life were two completely different experiences. Especially after having the memories implanted by the system, he naturally had a kind of feeling for the four dolls of the Qiao family. Being close to Qiao Zuwang, Wang Zhong, who was naturally disgusted with Qiao Zuwang, became even more angry.
Seeing the copper basin under the faucet against the wall of the yard, there was still half a basin of cold water in it. Wang Zhong walked over and picked up the copper basin, walked straight into the main room, came to Qiao Zuwang's door, and kicked it open. He walked to the bed and looked at Qiao Zuwang who was still sleeping soundly. Without saying a word, he picked up the copper basin and poured a basin of cold water directly on Qiao Zuwang's face.
"ah!"
Only a scream like a slaughtered pig was heard, followed by an angry curse: "Which bastard..."
Before he finished speaking, Qiao Zuwang didn't even see the situation clearly, he felt the world spinning in front of his eyes, a big hand pinched his neck, and an unprecedented sense of suffocation came, and then his body suddenly lost its center of gravity, Qiao Zuwang just I felt guilty in my heart, and a sense of fear quietly sprouted. If I didn't finish the curse in my mouth, I naturally couldn't curse it out.
