"A Confession from Your Loveliest System"
Returning to the stay space, Yan Chu saw with sharp eyes a confession on the table in the renovated room. There were a few bold words on the cover, for fear that others would ignore the confession.
Yan Chu picked up the stack of paper. Good guy, it was almost two to three millimeters thick. This confession must be at least ten thousand words. It seems that his previous papers were about this thickness.
After turning the first page, Yan Chu couldn't help but twitch his brows. He didn't know where 007 pieced together the confession letter from. There were just various problems with word order and a lot of typos.
He pursed his lips to hide the smile in his heart, and Yan Chu's expression became a little more serious.
"Do you think admitting your mistake will help? I am both a dog and a eunuch. Who will give me psychological compensation?"
He knew that 007 must be hiding in the corner and listening. These words were just to scare 007.
"Awwww——"
How wonderful it is to be a dog!
Yan Aotian bared his teeth at Yan Chu in dissatisfaction.
As a human being, can someone help you eat three meals a day? As a human being, can someone take you for a walk every night? As a human being, can you eat and drink without having to work and get a lot of love?
Obviously, being a dog is much happier than being a human. How can this be called a grievance?
Yan Aotian scratched his face with his right front hoof and said proudly.
“I don’t know if a husky that was born under an egg needs to be neutered.”
Yan Chu stared at Yan Aotian's lower body and said coldly.
"Woo-"
Yan Aotian's anus tightened anxiously, and the tail that had been flicking happily just now was suddenly covered between his crotch, and the whole dog shrank into a round ball.
A handsome dog is one who knows the current affairs. It is capable of bending and stretching.
Yan Aotian was no longer causing trouble. Yan Chuzi carefully read the confession, then put it in the cabinet on the desk, and conjured a lock to lock the cabinet.
007 even came to admit his mistake. Yan Chu believed that the difficulty of the next world would never be that great unless it really planned to be stupid to the end. Therefore, after predicting that 007 would not have the courage to appear in front of him, Yan Chu did not Stay longer and start the mission in the next world directly.
"Woo-"
After Yan Chu took Yan Aotian out of the stay space, 007 finally had the courage to act.
"I did as you asked, but host No. 17 was so hard-hearted that he had no intention of forgiving me."
After dialing 001, 007 complained aggrievedly.
As the seventh-ranked system in the system, it has been awarded the title of the most popular system among hosts all year round. Although it is not loved by everyone, at least most hosts are satisfied with it and highly praise its work level.
Just as it is about to be re-elected as the most popular system among its hosts for the tenth time, its most valued host, No. 17, hates it because of the previous few worlds. It is very likely that it will be ranked in the future evaluation list. It scored negative, and 007 felt like the sky was falling.
"Actually, you don't have to worry so much."
It is also a mechanical sound, but the sound of 001 is more magnetic and mellow.
"After all, you have always been the only one who signs up for the most popular system among hosts every year."
001 did not hesitate to expose this fact. The top-ranked systems usually have many hosts and cannot spare time to participate in this dispensable activity, while the lower-ranked systems may not even be able to participate in this competition. I have never heard of it, let alone 007.
"Nonsense, there were two people who signed up this time, and they reported it to 110. Tell me, did you tell them?"
007 was furious. If it lost to 110, it would choose to destroy itself.
"Forehead......"
001 remembered that it seemed to have really told 110 this. As 110's teaching system, it once showed off to it that it had a companion system that had been the most popular system among hosts for several consecutive years. Could it be that the other party remembered it at that time? You won this competition and still regard it as a high-gold competition?
001 felt a little guilty, coughed, and his tone became softer: "You know, I only have you as my beloved leader. In my heart, whether you win or not, you are the best leader."
"Death phase~~"
007's heart was filled with sweetness, and half of his anger was instantly gone.
However, it will never give up in this competition easily, and it will definitely not lose to that little bitch 110 who has ulterior motives.
One confession is not enough. If it writes ten, it will not believe it. Host No. 17 can really refuse such a virtuous, gentle, generous and intelligent system as it.
Unaware of the love-hate entanglement between systems, Yan Chu, who came to a new mission world, absorbed the original memory and started a new mission.
*****
Rural areas in the 21st century are much richer than city people think, especially in coastal villages. Beautiful and stylish villas can be seen everywhere. Renovated cement or asphalt roads have replaced the original country paths. Both sides of the road , you can see cars priced around two to three hundred thousand, and even luxury cars worth millions.
However, due to development, many young people have moved to big cities that are relatively more convenient and have more opportunities. Those who live in the countryside are basically older people. They take the filial piety of their children and the money provided by the village. With the pension insurance purchased in a unified way, my life is extremely comfortable. I play mahjong and chat about my children every day without having to worry about my livelihood.
Of course, the village cannot be all rich. There must be a few who are living a difficult life. These people will often become the subjects of conversation and sympathy among the villagers.
"Uncle Yan, are you and Aunt Yan selling vegetables again?"
Fenghai Village is not as prosperous and prosperous as some famous self-employed villages in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, but every household is still relatively well off, especially when the village sold a batch of fields and salt flats before, and every household lost a lot of money per capita. The older ones , the village also bought insurance for Uni-President, and each elderly person can get nearly 2,000 yuan a month. In rural areas where the consumption level is not high, an old couple can never spend 4,000 yuan a month, plus the filial piety of their children. , as long as the old people who want to be more liberal will stop working and concentrate on staying at home to take care of themselves.
At this time, outside the yard of the most magnificent four-story villa in the village, a group of old people were sitting and chatting on chairs. They saw old man Yan driving an electric tricycle, carrying the old woman and baskets of freshly picked seasonal vegetables, with a look of regret on his face. said.
"Well, we have harvested the wild rice at home. Now the wild rice in town sells for six yuan a pound. I will sell all the wild rice in the ditch while it is still fresh and fresh."
Old Man Yan said with a smile, seemingly unaware of the sympathy and pity in the villagers' eyes.
"That's it, Xiaoyan, walk slowly."
The owner of the villa, an old man in his eighties, with all his teeth missing, held a pair of dentures and a brush in his hand. While cleaning the dentures carefully, he spoke to Old Man Yan with a leaky mouth.
"Eh."
The electric three-wheeler gradually drove away, and the old ladies who had nothing to do could not stay idle and began to discuss the rights and wrongs of the Shan family.
In fact, seriously speaking, the Yan family was once a well-respected family in Fenghai Village. When his son was admitted to Haishi Jiaotong University, who didn't envy the blessings of the old couple and thought that the two old men would definitely enjoy the blessings of having a son in the future. As a result, Well, my son did not enjoy the blessing because this son had to work hard to earn money at the age when he could receive pension benefits.
The old couple who just passed by were the parents of the body that Yan Chu possessed this time.
Yan Yuanjiang and Gu Aihong are 65 and 62 years old respectively this year. Yan Yuanjiang was once a soldier. His left foot was broken during the Vietnam War. He returned to his hometown with compensation and was injured. Under the auspices of his family, Married to Gu Aihong.
I don’t know who the couple is because of it. They have been married for many years, but they still can’t conceive a child. At that time, they didn’t want to go to the hospital. If there was something wrong, they could just go to the barefoot doctor and take some folk remedies. The couple drank the dregs one after another. , I tried every possible remedy, but every time I ended up disappointed.
When Yan Yuanjiang was forty years old, when the couple almost gave up and were preparing to adopt a child from relatives, Gu Aihong became pregnant and gave birth to a fat boy ten months later.
At that time, Yan Yuanjiang was forty-one and Gu Aihong was thirty-eight. For this hard-won child who appeared after despair, the couple loved it like a treasure and really held it in their hands for fear of dropping it. He kept it in his mouth for fear of melting, so he gave him the best possible things since he was a child.
And the original person was also blessed with a pair of parents who were born in the 1950s, but they enjoyed the blessing of single children that could only be enjoyed by children born in the 1980s. You must know that at Yan Yuanjiang's age, according to the atmosphere at the time, at least he had to be a single child. It is normal to have four or five children.
After the child was born, everyone lamented that the old couple had good luck, because the child was really good-looking and intelligent. He was the first child in the village to skip a grade in school, and he was also the first genius in the village to pass the entrance examination to the No. 1 Middle School.
When the other party was seventeen years old, he was admitted to Haishi Jiaotong University as the second best in the city's college entrance examination. The county TV station even sent someone to conduct an exclusive interview with him. As a gesture of support, the city, county and village committee all awarded the Yan family a After winning certificates and bonuses, the Yan family was so prosperous at that time.
Everything is of inferior quality, except for being well-educated. No matter how glitzy the outside world is, in the eyes of the villagers at that time, although the Yan family was from an average family, but with such a promising son, sooner or later, he would change his appearance and become one of the best in the village. .
In everyone's expectation, the 17-year-old original went to college and returned after four years of study. He did not enter a government agency and win an iron rice bowl as everyone thought, nor did he enter a top 100 company and become an enterprising person. Instead of serving as an executive reserve, he returned home and began a long life of gnawing at old age.
One bite, another four years.
In the past four years, people in the village rarely saw that young man coming out of their homes. On the rare occasions when they met, they only saw the image of a young man with his head lowered, who seemed to be thin and pale.
Pity his old parents. In order to support their son, they not only farmed their own land for a long time, but also rented fields from other people in the village, just to save money for this obviously useless son before they let go. Enough to cover the rest of his life.
"I think this Yan Chu was raised to death by two old men. If I were Lao Yan, I would just drive this son out. I don't believe it. When he really starves to death, he can still stay away. Make money."
An old lady was cracking melon seeds and said to the people around her.
"That's right." An old lady agreed: "Let's not talk about anything else. He is still a college student after all. I heard that he studied IT at first. My son said that this industry can make money, even if he hasn't been there for a few years. Work, don't give back all the things you learned in school to the teacher. Besides, you can still earn two hundred a day by moving bricks at the construction site. How can a good young man still starve to death? His wife doted on the child so much that she was ruined. "
"I don't think so."
There are also people who speak for Mr. Yan and his wife.
"Yan Chu is, after all, the only one in the Yan family. If there is something wrong with him, old man Yan's incense will be cut off. Even if his nephew can help throw the dishes, after all, they are separated by one layer and they can get married. Like a son?" said a chubby old man, shaking his cattail leaf fan.
"The way I see it, the serious business is for the couple to save more money, repair the old house at home, and marry their son a wife. Men, they mature late. When they start a family and become a father, they can do it all at once. Mature.”
This kind of person thinks that his son is good in every aspect. Even if his son has various problems, as long as he grows that thing, he can come up with various reasons to defend him.
However, there are still not a few old people who think like this. No matter how the economy develops, the bad habit of favoring boys over girls will never change in their hearts.
A group of old people started a heated debate about why the Yan family ended up in this situation, while Yan Yuanjiang and Gu Aihong braved the bright sun and rushed to grab a good seat outside the market before the lunch market started.
In order to save money, old people like Yan Yuanjiang who sell home-grown vegetables are often hawkers in the streets and alleys of the county. They often have to guard against being arrested by the urban management, and they also have to endure the hardship of having no shelter from the wind and rain on the roadside. .
When they arrived outside the vegetable market, there were already many vendors there. Fortunately, there were not many vendors selling wild rice at this time, and there were even less fresh and juicy wild rice displayed by the Yan family couple.
"Six yuan a pound is too expensive. I think people sell it for five yuan."
The aunts who come to buy vegetables are all good at bargaining. While pulling the outermost shell of the wild rice, they bargained with Yan Yuanjiang and his wife.
She had already peeled off the water bamboo shoots to the innermost layer, took her nails and pinched the tender white water bamboo shoots flesh hard.
Gu Aihong looked distressed, but the honest old lady didn't know how to argue with others.
"Our wild rice does not use pesticides, and as you have seen, this wild rice is very fresh. We sell it for six yuan, which is not expensive at all."
Yan Yuanjiang said from the side.
"Tsk, forget it, I won't buy it."
The aunt threw the wild rice in her hand onto the stall, stood up, and left directly.
Gu Aihong put the pinched wild rice root into a basket aside. Under normal circumstances, no one would want this kind of pinched wild rice root. This one could only be taken back at night and cooked and eaten by herself.
Outside the vegetable market, there are all kinds of customers. The generous ones buy ten jins of wild rice for five yuan and a half without peeling the shells. The pickier ones, just like the aunt just now, pick and choose. , after peeling off all the shells, he said softly and said no more.
Gu Aihong and Yan Yuanjiang greeted the customers in good temper all afternoon. They were lucky today. The urban management did not come to inspect. Moreover, the cart of wild rice they brought was almost sold, leaving some wild rice that they thought could not be sold. They were all bought by an old lady for four yuan and a half per catty.
At the end of the day today, they made a total of more than 300 yuan, but this was before the large quantities of wild rice were on the market. After this period, the business would not be so good.
The couple made some calculations and found that the wild rice grown in the four ditches, excluding the cost, would probably bring them a net income of about three thousand.
After calculating the money, the couple's frown relaxed a lot. After a while, when the grapes in the fields matured, they would be able to add a lot of income to the family, and it seemed that life would not be so difficult.
"Old man, you sit in the back and I'll drive when you get back."
After packing the wild rice shells that had been peeled all over the ground into a basket, Gu Aihong drove her husband into the rear basket of the tricycle and sat in the driving position.
It's getting dark now, and the old man's eyesight is not good. If he bumps into him then, he will be in trouble.
Yan Yuanjiang also knew what was wrong with him, so he sat obediently in the rear basket of the car, holding on to the side railings of the car next to the stool, pressing his bulging pocket with one hand, and smiling with some satisfaction.
Because the last two orders took a long time, it was completely dark when she got home. Gu Aihong was a little anxious. When she left home at noon today, she only warmed her son's lunch and put it on the stove, waiting for him to wake up. Eat, but it's only the amount of one meal. It's so late now, I'm afraid my son is already hungry.
Before she had time to pack her things, Gu Aihong hurried towards the kitchen. Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the door, she smelled the aroma of food.
"This is?"
Even Yan Yuanjiang, who came in behind, was a little stunned when he saw the three vegetarian and one meat dishes on the living room table.
"Mom and Dad, you are back, I have already prepared dinner."
Yan Chu was coming in with bowls and chopsticks. Just now he heard the sound of the electric three-wheeler, and he expected that his parents might be back.
Speaking of which, the original person was really weird. As a grown man, how on earth did he reach the age of twenty-five and still reach out for clothes, open his mouth for food, and didn't even bother to help the oil bottle when it fell.
Especially when you see your parents getting older and haggard, don’t you feel guilty while enjoying all this?
Of course, the old couple in front of him were not completely blameless in the development of his character. At least the couple's doting and indulgence were one of the culprits for his becoming the kind of character he is today.
"Ah Chu, what are you doing?"
Gu Aihong rubbed her eyes and swallowed, unable to believe what she saw.
"I'm hungry. Seeing that you haven't come back yet, Mom, I followed your previous cooking steps and cooked a few dishes, but I wasn't very successful and the dishes were all burnt."
As a person who has never cooked since he was a child, it is naturally impossible to make a dish that is amazingly delicious for the first time. Therefore, Yan Chu is very careful to make every dish like a beginner, barely cooking it. The seasoning is also based on the most basic, no other messy things are added, it looks like an ordinary home-cooked side dish.
Scallion eggs, fried vegetables, steamed sausage, and green pepper and potato shreds.
The last dish of green pepper and potato shreds, the potato shreds were fried until they were brown and stuck to the pan, and the green peppers were fried until they were shriveled, with a suspicious burnt black color.
"It's all my fault that Mom came back late."
Sure enough, Gu Aihong's first reaction was to blame herself. If she hadn't come back too late and her son was hungry, he wouldn't have started cooking.
"Also, it seems that I didn't add the right water for cooking. It looks a bit watery."
Yuan Shen likes to eat rice that is harder and chewier. In order to accommodate his taste, the couple also eat dry rice. But for the elderly, that kind of rice is not chewy and difficult to digest.
Yan Chu noticed that the two old men had lost several big teeth and did not have enough strength to chew the rice. Through the memory of the original body, he could clearly see that every time they had a meal, the couple always took a long time to eat. Chu is worried that if things continue like this, the two elderly people will also have problems with their digestive systems.
So today, he specially cooked the rice to make it softer for easier digestion.
"Is it overcooked?"
Gu Aihong immediately said: "Then Mom will cook another pot for you."
"No, I'm starving. I'll just make do with what I eat today."
Yan Chu showed a little arrogance, but Gu Aihong and Yan Yuanjiang didn't feel it was against their will at all, and they immediately agreed lovingly.
"The food cooked by my son is so delicious. Even the chefs in the hotel can't compare to this skill."
Yan Yuanjiang felt so happy. He picked up a large amount of shredded potatoes with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. It tasted the most ordinary, with a burnt taste, but it was this kind of dish that made him taste the wine. The smell of jade dew comes.
"It's just that the food I've cooked all my life can't even compare to a fraction of our son's."
Gu Aihong also thought the dish was delicious. She ate it with big mouthfuls and was so moved that she almost cried.
"If you think it tastes good, let me cook tomorrow's meal. Mom, don't tell me. I made this meal today and I think it's quite interesting. I'll change it when I get tired of it. You do it."
Yan Chu's expression was like that of a child who got a new toy. Gu Aihong was about to say that he was too tired to cook, but when he saw his son's happy expression, he hesitated.
"That's it, your dad and I will enjoy your blessing from now on."
Gu Aihong felt that her son was not as bad as the villagers thought.
"Awwww——"
Yan Aotian, who was locked in the kennel in the backyard, looked aggrieved.
Come on, there's a dog here that's starving to death.
