Chapter 098 Reality, New Copy

A few days after New Year's Day, a heavy snowfall was coming, but overnight, the sky and the earth were already covered in snow, making it look a little more enchanting.

The south of the Yangtze River is different from the north. Even in winter, the mountains and plains are full of green. The trees on the mountains are evergreen all year round. As soon as you pass by, many leafy trees are bent down by the accumulated snowflakes.

An unknown tree at the door had grown too lush, and there was heavy wind and snow last night, so a branch of the tree was cut off.

Compared to the north, Wang Zhong still prefers the winter in his hometown.

There was just a hint of fish belly white on the horizon. Wang Zhong had already punched several times in the courtyard. The activities started. He checked the shed in the backyard and made sure it was OK. Then Wang Zhong went out and rushed to the fourth grandfather and fourth grandmother's house.

.

As I get older, I sleep less. When Wang Zhong arrived, the old couple were already late, and the fourth grandmother was washing rice.

Breakfast in rural areas is like cooking porridge and eating fried dough sticks. You wash rice and cook rice early in the morning and fry a few side dishes. If you went to the mountains when you were young, you would pack the food and take it up the mountain, fold two sticks and use them as chopsticks.

Sit on the ground in the shade.

I don’t know if it’s because I put all the scenery of the lakes and mountains into a bowl. Although the lunch in the mountains is simple, it is still more delicious than at home.

A scrambled egg, a stir-fried cabbage, and a plate of freshly taken out kimchi, a simple breakfast is ready.

Wang Zhong's cooking skills have already reached the point of perfection. The simpler the dish, the more distinguishable it is from others.

For more than half a year, the old couple occasionally cooked by themselves at first, but as time went by, they ate too many of Wang Zhong's dishes and then ate their own dishes, which really tasted the same.

Fortunately, the old couple came from those difficult days when they were young. They could even eat rice. Even if Wang Zhong was not around occasionally, they were not hungry.

At the dinner table, Wang Zhong suddenly mentioned the matter of going to the city: "Uncle, uncle and grandma, after dinner, let's go into the city. Let's each buy a winter coat!"

The fourth grandma has been used to being frugal all her life, "We have a lot of clothes and there is nothing to buy. You buy two more for yourself. You are a young man, so you should dress nicer so that you can find a girlfriend."

Wang Zhong burst into laughter. Elders are like this. No matter what they say, they can always talk about finding a girlfriend or a partner.

"Let's buy them all!" Wang Zhong said: "Aren't I worried that I won't be able to pick out clothes? You and my uncle just happened to go there together and give me a look!"

"Why are we giving you a slap in the face!" said my uncle and grandma: "You young people...hey, how do you say that?"

The uncle and grandma looked at the uncle next to them and asked. The uncle who was sipping the medicinal wine given by Wang Zhong said: "Aesthetics."

"Yes, yes! Aesthetics! Your uncle and I are so old, how can we keep up with the aesthetics of you young people?"

Wang Zhongdao: "Just think of it as a visit to the city. It's been a long time since you and my uncle have been to the city. Although we live in the countryside, we still have to experience the rapid changes in the city!"

"Okay, just listen to Xiao Zhong, let's go with him!" My uncle and grandma wanted to say something else, but they were stopped by my uncle: "Anyway, it's idle at home in the winter."

My uncle is an old homebody. He usually watches TV, plays on his mobile phone, and browses short videos at home. He occasionally plays the harmonica and composes his own music. He has an extremely rich spiritual world and can stay here even without going out.

My aunt and uncle, on the other hand, have spent their whole lives facing the loess and turning their backs to the sky. They don’t watch much TV. Whenever they have free time during the day, they run into the fields, dig the fields to plant vegetables, and go into the mountains to find seasonal wild fruits. In short, they have no time to spare.

Come down.

In my free time, I can't sit still at home. I always like to walk by the river with my hands behind my back, visit the homes of some old sisters, and help them take care of their grandchildren.

After eating, Wang Zhong helped his uncle and grandma clean up, and then he took the old couple to the parking lot at the head of the village.

He wanted to take the old couple into the city, so naturally it was not easy to drive the pickup truck. He unlocked his Hongqi h9 with one click, put the two old people into the back seat, and helped the old couple fasten their seat belts. Wang Zhong then opened the driver's door.

The door sat in.

"Uncle, uncle and grandma, sit tight, let's set off!" Wang Zhong smiled at the two of them through the rearview mirror, started the car, drove out of the parking lot, and merged into the country road.

Although it was not a holiday, there were quite a few vehicles passing by. Wang Zhong drove at a slow speed, which was stable at about forty yards. After ten minutes, the Hongqi H9 merged into the provincial highway, and Wang Zhong started to speed up.

They arrived in the city smoothly. While it was still early, Wang Zhong took the old couple to the morning market. They visited the vegetable market first, then went to the supermarket, then the shopping mall. First, they gave food to his uncle and Wang Zhong.

I bought two sets from top to bottom, and finally went to the wholesale market with my uncle and grandma, and pulled more than ten feet of cloth for my uncle and grandma. After a lot of fiddling with it, it was already past two o'clock.

I took the old couple into a famous restaurant in the city, ordered a few signature dishes, and after only two bites, my uncle and grandma shook their heads: "What kind of restaurant is this? The dishes are not as delicious as those made from scratch, and the prices are not bad."

So expensive!”

It’s not that my uncle and grandma don’t have money. On the contrary, my uncle’s pension is higher than the salary of many young people today. It’s just that the old couple has always lived a frugal life. They grow vegetables in their own land and buy two pounds of meat at every market.

, it can be eaten for four or five days in the refrigerator. The uncle buys the rice when he comes back on weekends, and the couple doesn’t have any other expenses. The annual expenditure is only a thousand yuan.

A restaurant like this in the city would cost nearly three hundred yuan for four dishes and one soup, so my uncle and grandma naturally felt that it was not worth it.

On the other hand, my uncle and grandpa were quite happy eating.

"This is the city, everything is expensive. For such a big store, rent, water, electricity, and labor are all expensive, so it's normal for it to be expensive!"

"You are the only one who is right!" My aunt and uncle gave my uncle a blank look.

Watching the old couple bickering, Wang Zhong had a smile on his face, but had no intention of interfering. In fact, if we talk about experience, Wang Zhong has much more experience than the old couple. Maybe it is because of this that even though he occasionally bickers, Wang Zhong

, but the old couple care about each other, their decades of experience in Maixiang Village can't help but come to mind.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After dinner, Wang Zhong led the old couple back home.

In the next few days, Wang Zhong began to prepare for the farmhouse that he had considered before entering the copy of "Knowledge". It's not that Wang Zhong had to start a business. After all, Wang Zhong had already made a living just by relying on the income from a few books.

Achieved financial freedom.

The reason why Wang Zhong is preparing to start a farmhouse is because he thinks that after running the farmhouse, it can bring more than ten or twenty jobs to the village and bring some extra income to the left-behind elderly people in the village, although it may not be much.

, but it is better than no income.

Wang Zhong has always been a resolute and resolute person, and he does what he says. He has scouted several places in two days, went to negotiate with the village, and went to the town to apply.

The village knew that Wang Zhong wanted to open a farmhouse, and they were very supportive of it. However, the village was now engaged in tourism development not as a collective, but as an individual. If Wang Zhong wanted to open the farmhouse in the area planned by the tourism company, it would have to be controlled by the tourism company.

The current tourism company only built a few pavilions on both sides of the river and set up a small playground. It only had a few simple swings, seesaws and other recreational facilities, as well as some small projects cobbled together here and there.

Wang Zhong didn't want to put a tight band on his head, so he found a place about two hundred meters away from the village. The village was easy to talk to, and he didn't know whether it was because of his uncle's face or because of other reasons, but the village party secretary also took the initiative

Go through the formalities with Wang Zhong.

It's just that the control over rural construction is very strict now. It took Wang Zhong more than a week just to go through the procedures. Fortunately, the town also supports Wang Zhong in his farmhouse, but the necessary procedures are indispensable.

This took some time.

Wang Zhong also took advantage of this time to draw the plan of the farmhouse.

It is a two-story triple courtyard with two main floors and terraces on the east and west sides. The decoration is combined with local architectural styles and has strong regional characteristics.

Wang Zhong's requirements were a bit high. The private work teams in the village couldn't do such delicate work, and many jobs were mechanized much faster than manual work. Wang Zhong could only contact the construction team outside, but he could hire small laborers or something like that.

Still a villager.

Two days later in the morning, the construction team began to enter the site. Two excavators and four muck trucks worked at the same time, and the site was excavated in just one day.

Knowing that Wang Zhong was engaged in farm entertainment, my uncle, who had been an old homeboy at home, also volunteered to work as a supervisor. After all, he was a leader before, and the supervisor's work was no worse than those of professionals.

After dinner all day long, I would carry the thermos cup with which my uncle and grandma had just made tea, and walk to the farmhouse construction site with a swaggering step, holding my hands behind my back.

Not to mention, although the old man is old, he is a person from that era, he knows a lot about everything, and he can speak eloquently to the foremen and workers.

The next day, various materials came in one after another, steel bars, cement, gravel, fine sand...

By the time the system locks the new dungeon world again, the foundation has been poured.

[Anchored copy world: "Love Full Courtyard"

Countdown to enter the dungeon: 14 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes and 54 seconds. Host, please be prepared. The main mission will be unlocked after entering the dungeon world.】

Suddenly, it turned from the imaginary ancient times back to the modern times?

Wang Zhong has not watched this TV series, but it has been famous for a long time. The Internet writing industry even developed a series specifically because of this TV series, which became very popular for a while.

Netizens also nicknamed "Siheyuan Full of Love" as "Siheyuan Full of Birds". Wang Zhong had also seen some of it before, and the violence was not as deep as usual.

Wang Zhong, who was accustomed to systemic urination, was not too surprised. Instead, he took advantage of the break in building the farmhouse to find this TV series and watch it from beginning to end.

It was fine when I first watched it. Although the people in the courtyard each have their own shortcomings, they all have their own characteristics, and the relationship between the neighbors is considered harmonious. However, as the plot progresses, things gradually change.

No wonder netizens have replaced the word 'loveman' with 'qiaoman', as this is another drama that uses the name of positive energy to mix in private goods.

In the blink of an eye, another half month has passed, and the time has come to February. There are only about ten days left before the Chinese New Year. The main frame structure of the farmhouse has been built. The masons have begun to enter the site and start laying bricks while maintaining the main frame structure.

The money in Wang Zhong's pocket was spent like running water.

The cooldown time for the copy is about to end.

[Countdown to enter the dungeon: 1 hour, 59 minutes and 54 seconds. Host, please be prepared. The main mission will be unlocked after entering the dungeon world. 】

Two hours later, Wang Zhong felt a flash of white light in front of his eyes, and the whole world completely changed.

In the courtyard of No. 95 Nanluogu Lane, Beiping, in the east wing of the front yard, on the hardwood bed in the back room, Wang Zhong woke up leisurely, shook his head, and instantly absorbed the memory provided by the system.

1964! This body is twenty-two years old. He has just graduated from college. He is from Shandong. He came to Peking in 1960 and was assigned to the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill as a technician after graduation. He has only been employed for less than half a year, because he is still in the internship period.

, so the salary standard is level 14, 48.5 yuan per month.

A college graduate, an intern technician, with a monthly salary of nearly fifty yuan. With this income, in the entire courtyard, only Yi Zhonghai, the eighth-level fitter, and Liu Haizhong, the second-level blacksmith, are higher than Wang Zhong.

Others, whether it's the protagonist He Yuzhu or Aquaman Xu Damao, are not the same.

Wang Zhong stood up and looked around the room. The conditions were a bit crude. Under him was a wooden bed made of elm wood. There was an old wardrobe and a dark brown wooden box placed against the wall. There was a long table by the window.

A solid wood chair with a backrest made of very ordinary materials. Beside the window to the north of the table, there is a small three-story bookshelf with more than a dozen books on it, all related to metallurgy and machinery, and a few more.

The cover is in English and Russian.

In addition to these, there is a ceramic jar next to the desk. In the jar are several paper tubes rolled into circles, which are drawings drawn by the original person based on memory.

Outside is the living room, with two benches, a square table, and a long dark tabletop, which is also old. There is a set of kettles and cups on it. Next to the partition of the room on the north, there are

An old-fashioned washbasin stand, with an enamel washbasin on top, and a foot wash basin at the bottom. Two towels hang on the left and right sides of the rafters above, and there is a square holder protruding from the top of the washbasin.

There was a square wooden box on top of the table, with a piece of brand-new soap inside.

There is another room further south, but it is not separated. There are two large vats and several jars against the wall. There is also a long table under the window on the west side, with chopping boards and kitchen knives on it, and there is another room against the door.

There is an iron stove with silver-white pipes connected to the outside of the house. There is a chest-high cupboard next to the stove. The inside is also old and was just added after the original owner moved here.

Of the three wing rooms, the one on the north side is separated and used as a bedroom. The remaining two rooms are connected, so the space is quite spacious.

It is the early winter of 1964, and the weather is starting to get cold. In this era of scarcity, the country implements a planned economic system. If you only have money, you need stamps, food stamps, oil stamps, sugar stamps, cloth stamps...
