Chapter 241 Confused
After completing his work at hand this week, Liu Ping'an walked towards the gate of the steel mill with the letter of introduction written by accountant Sister Wu.
When he reached a corner where no one was, Liu Pingan suddenly stopped and found himself a little confused. For a moment he didn't know where to go or what to do next.
Working day after day every week, just for the little salary to survive? As a time traveler, although the system ran away, the assets left to him are still very rich, so that at least no matter where he is, he no longer has to rush for a living.
Although you and I are mortals, born in this world, he does not have to work hard all day like most ordinary people, worry about three meals a day, and worry about long clothes for four seasons.
But ordinary people struggle for that little bit of money every day and work hard for what they want, but this money is readily available to them, and they don’t have to waste their brains thinking about how to save money.
At the same time, he has lost a lot. He no longer has the joy of a hunter harvesting prey, nor the happiness of small vendors watching their goods sell little by little and then their cash boxes fill up little by little. He can no longer experience these feelings.
At this moment, he felt like a monkey who had everything. The golden finger gave him a lot, a lot, and he had everything, but it seemed like he had nothing. He was just a little confused, not knowing what to do next, and felt that life was a little boring.
Relying on his enhanced Forever-28 bike, Liu Pingan had forgotten when he bought it, but it was quite old. With the attribute [wear resistance], his bike still looked brand new. In fact, it was still brand new, and after a few years of running-in, it was getting smoother and smoother to ride.
I have forgotten the happy feeling I had when I bought it.
No wonder many systems of the predecessors of time travel will release some side quests from time to time. It’s hard to say whether it’s difficult or not! Basically, it’s free, just like signing in. But every day has something to look forward to, unlike the open world I’m in now, where I start with a world tree. To get rich, I have to rely on the tree.
It was true. Wasn't my current wealth all earned from this World Tree? If you want to be rich, you must first pluck trees. This saying was indeed true. Moreover, this was a World Tree that I could never pluck all the fruits of. My future wealthy life would all depend on it.
Suddenly, Liu Ping'an had a bold idea, that is, to stop relying on this dimensionality-reduction-like golden finger and his own world tree space, and experience the life of an ordinary person to see if he can survive well in the 60s when the industry of the continent was just starting with his current physique of a triple-hipped captain and a thousand-pound strength in one arm.
It is now the end of December 1959 in the Gregorian calendar. It is very useful as it unifies the year calculation in different regions of the world. Anyone who wants to keep up with the international standards must first start by synchronizing the time. Otherwise, even the time for the two parties to meet cannot be unified.
Let's not talk about the distant past. Let's take the lunar calendar that we still use in mainland China. For example, today is December 12th. According to the definition of the solar calendar, today is Christmas, the day when all Western people get together with their families. In five or six days, this year will end. But if someone thinks that this is the lunar calendar, then it will have to be postponed for at least one month. If it happens to be a leap month (December), this December 25th will have to be celebrated twice.
It would be even better if I encountered a leap year, and I could have two annual holidays. The last leap year was in 1640, at the end of the Ming Dynasty; the next leap year will be in 2262. 2262-1640=622. Unfortunately, I will not be able to catch up with this once-in--years event in my lifetime, otherwise I can at least experience the feeling of celebrating the New Year twice a year.
Liu Pingan didn't feel lost for long before he rode his beloved bicycle home. Although it was not time to get off work, the streets of the inner city of Beijing were always filled with people who had nothing better to do than to take a stroll.
The coolest people at this moment are those who have bicycles like Liu Pingan, especially those who look brand new like him. People who don't know him would think he bought a new one, and even if they know that his bicycle is a bit old, they would think he has maintained it well.
Yan Bugui, the third uncle who lives with him in the front yard, finally took out his savings at the end of this year and bought a second-hand bicycle for his family. It has all kinds of parts and at first glance, you can't tell how many times it has been bought. Judging from its condition, it is far inferior to the bicycle Liu Ping'an has been riding for three to five years. So he just bought it to make do.
But even so, Yan Bugui is extremely precious. Now the first thing the uncle does when he gets home from get off work every day is to give his family's first bicycle a big pat, first wipe the dust off with a rag, then prop it up, adjust the spokes of the wheels, and check whether the wheels are still round.
He treasured it so much that if he came home one day and saw that the bicycle was dented, he would be so distressed that he would try every means to repair it. A broken bicycle was so precious that it could not be treasured any more. Even if it was his own son or daughter, Liu Ping'an had never seen Yan Bugui feel so distressed.
This old man Yan is a lucky man, with three sons and a daughter. But he doesn't know how to appreciate his good fortune. His good family was broken up when his sons and daughters grew up, leaving him and his third aunt a pair of empty-nesters. It can only be said that today's results are due to yesterday's causes. How does this old man Yan usually treat his four children? Liu Ping'an, who lives in the front yard and has sharp eyes and ears, is the one who has the most say.
Speaking of this child, Liu Pingan and his wife Chen Xueru's first child is about to be born. It seems that it was diagnosed in May or June of this year, and the exact time was not calculated carefully.
It is said that the pregnancy period is ten months, but in reality it is only nine months and ten days at most. Most babies are born prematurely, and few are born beyond this time. Not every family has a magic child - Nezha.
Thinking of my wife, who is still being taken care of by my bestie. Alas, if there is no elder in the family, it is really troublesome for the couple to have a baby. They always take care of the beginning but not the end, and fail to take good care of the baby.
This means that Liu Ping'an doesn't have to worry about the materials on the purchase list given by the steel mill every day, and can spare some time every day to accompany his wife, otherwise it would be over sooner or later.
