Chapter 1 Ding! God-level selection system
In the cold winter of 1965, it was bitingly cold, the north wind was blowing, and the world was a desolate scene.
The bell of the No. 3 Steel Rolling Mill in Sijiucheng just rang, and a very calm-looking man walked out from the factory gate carrying a lunch box in a net bag.
"Hey! Isn't this Silly Zhu? Are you going home?"
A woman dressed somewhat enchantingly saw He Yuzhu and said quickly with a smile on her face.
"Isn't this asking questions knowingly? If I don't go home, why don't I go to your house? Also, don't call me Silly Zhu in the future. I have a name. Can you be more respectful?"
"Hey! Look at your virtue. Don't we usually call you Silly Zhu? Why did you take the wrong medicine today?"
The woman looked at He Yuzhu's leaving figure and stamped her feet angrily.
It seems like it’s better not to offend him less in the future, he has such a jerk personality!
He Yuzhu ignored the woman behind him. He was in a good mood and hummed a little tune as he walked.
If this had happened in the past, He Yuzhu would not have reacted like this at all, but today's He Yuzhu is no longer what he used to be.
As early as 3 months ago, he had already passed through his soul and came to this world.
In the past two months, he rarely spoke, and his mind was always thinking about how to make money.
In the 1960s, this was an era of material scarcity, and thinking seriously about how to make a fortune was the right thing to do.
How can you still live like your predecessor, living so useless!
"Fortunately, I have such great cooking skills as my predecessor! But if you want to make a fortune, it seems that this skill alone is not enough."
He Yuzhu was humming a little tune all the way and unknowingly arrived at the courtyard where he lived.
The wind in the alley was very strong and flowed straight into the courtyard. As soon as he walked to the middle courtyard, he saw a fat old woman walking out of a door. Who was it if it wasn't Jia Zhang?
He Yuzhu lives in the middle courtyard and is a neighbor of Jia Zhang and his family of five. They see each other every day, so they are quite familiar with each other.
"Hey, it's Shazhu who's back! You've been working all day, are you tired? Why don't you come to our house for a cup of tea!"
Seeing He Yuzhu coming back from work with a mesh lunch box in his hand, Mrs. Jia Zhang couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
During this time, their family ate porridge, steamed buns and vegetables every day. The clear soup was watery and not oily at all. The last time they ate meat was two months ago.
In the past two months, Shazhu walked in and out every day without looking sideways, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Better say goodbye. How dare I bother you, old man!"
He Yuzhu secretly laughed in his heart. The two families lived opposite each other, with a total distance of only more than ten steps. When he saw Mrs. Jia Zhang's eyes never leaving the lunch box in his hand, he didn't know what she was thinking.
But He Yuzhu is no longer the good old man he used to be. He doesn't want to have anything to do with Qin Huairu, a widow. It's not okay to keep pestering him like this and let others gossip!
He didn't want to lose his reputation by helping Widow Qin.
Besides, although Qin Huairu was plump and fat, which conformed to the aesthetics of the society at that time, she was still a widow with three children and an old woman.
And since I am young and still looking for a partner in the future, how can I spread scandals with her? It is absolutely impossible.
I don’t know what the original person is thinking, I’m confused.
"Zhuzi, don't leave! Auntie has something to tell you, so come in and sit down!"
Seeing He Yuzhu about to leave, Mrs. Jia Zhang quickly stepped forward to hold him and said mysteriously.
"Don't worry, if you always have something to say, just say it directly, don't beat around the bush."
Hearing that Mrs. Jia Zhang still wanted to have a relationship with him, He Yuzhu said bluntly.
"Auntie feels sorry for you. Didn't you ask Huairu to help you introduce a partner last time? When the time comes, you can meet her cousin and I guarantee that you will be satisfied!"
Mrs. Jia Zhang looked proud. She helped He Yuzhu introduce a partner this time, so she was not afraid that he would not take the bait.
When the time comes, when he becomes a relative, He Yuzhu will still help them as often as before, and life will get better again.
"Don't bother, I'm not thinking about finding a partner yet!"
He Yuzhu thought that Mrs. Jia Zhang was going to say something, but it turned out that it was Qin Huairu who mentioned that she wanted to introduce someone to him last time.
It's been almost half a year, why did I just think of it now? It's so insincere.
"Zhuzi, you heard my aunt say that besides having a rural registered permanent residence, Huairu's cousin is very handsome, hard-working, and good at work. She is more than enough to be a good match for you!"
He Yuzhu couldn't help but feel a little unhappy after hearing this.
What does it mean to be more than good enough for yourself, but am I terrible?
No matter what, Qin Huairu's cousin is a rural person without a job, and now it is the 1960s. What was most popular in the 1960s?
Workers are the most popular! If a family has a worker, it is a very enviable thing.
At this moment, He Yuzhu heard a tiny electronic sound coming from his mind.
"Ding! The binding of the god-level selection system is completed! Congratulations to the host for getting the novice gift package and portable space!"
Hearing the sound of the system, He Yuzhu was very happy.
"Great, after waiting for two months, the system finally appeared!"
"Choose system? Portable space?"
In this special era, having a portable space is like a duck to water.
This era is the era of planned economy. Everything is rationed. You can't buy anything with money. You need to have various stamps, such as food stamps, oil stamps, cloth stamps, meat stamps, bicycle stamps, etc.
With this portable space and tidying it up, you no longer have to live a life of not having enough to drink and not having enough food to eat.
As soon as he realized it, he sneaked into his personal space to take a look.
I saw that in the portable space, there was a piece of black soil with an area of about thirty to forty square meters. It was very fertile natural soil and contained various nutrients needed for plant growth.
Next to this piece of black land, there is a small river, and behind it is a wooden house. Beside the wooden house, there is a small bamboo forest.
This is really a paradise with beautiful mountains and clear waters!
Compared with that courtyard house full of animals, it is simply heaven.
He wanted to see how big this space was, but after his consciousness wandered around in it, he found that behind the mist in the distance was chaos, making it impossible to see clearly.
However, he is not discouraged. This space may be able to be upgraded. He must quickly expand this space.
At this moment, the system sound sounded again.
"Ding! Mission detected, enable selection!"
"Choice 1: Rage against the evil mother-in-law of the Jia family, and be rewarded with a gift pack of seeds!"
Chapter completed!
