Snowflakes like goose feathers were fluttering, and the air was filled with biting chill. The hunting cold wind came from north to south, and the mountains and fields were covered with white feathers.

In the small village at the foot of the mountain, in the living room of the third house on the north side of the road at the head of the village, Wang Zhong, who was sitting cross-legged, gradually returned to his physical body. His long and sparse eyelashes trembled slightly. After a while, the empty room Two bolts of lightning flashed away.

"call!"

With a breath of turbid breath coming out of his mouth, what came into view was a familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar home. Decades had passed by quickly. Although he had long been used to it, suddenly returning to the real world was still a bit uncomfortable.

The familiar electronic sound sounded in his ears again, Wang Zhong thought, and a nearly transparent virtual panel appeared in the void in front of him.

[The copy is over and is being settled... Please wait...

Copy evaluation: First, task rewards are being settled, please wait...]

Extra bonus: system space volume x2.

Is it to extract memories, block emotions, and form a ball of memory? 】

Without hesitation, Wang Zhong chose yes again.

The familiar feeling, the memories in the mind are gradually stripped away, and the familiar faces gradually become blurred...

System space x1 (2048m, note: the system space volume has reached the upper limit, and the space volume will no longer be increased after completing the task)]

Reached the limit?

Wang Zhong was a little surprised, but that was all. The space of more than two thousand cubic meters was like a small world. If enough weapons were stored, he would be able to directly embark on the road to dominance if he went to a certain world.

He focused all his potential points on physical fitness. As for skill points, Wang Zhong called up the skill list and clicked on it seeing that his programming level was only level 3.

As for the more than 2,000 points, Wang Zhong has no plans to use them for the time being. Anyway, it doesn't matter if he saves them first.

As for Yang Shou, since he learned qi training from Brother Hao in the dungeon of "Two Flags Town Swordsman", after years of hard training, he has already reached a state of perfection, which also allows Wang Zhong not to worry about Yang Shou for the time being. worry.

I turned on my phone and looked at the time. It was almost eleven o'clock, almost noon. I turned and looked out the window. Snowflakes were falling in the sky.

Wang Zhong stood up and stretched his body, stretching his muscles a little. He went downstairs, opened the door and walked into the courtyard. There was only less than half an inch of snow. The thin layer was completely different from the heavy snow-covered ground in the north. Compare.

Walking from the gate to the courtyard gate, a row of very shallow footprints were left on the snow-covered open space.

Wang Zhong opened the door latch and looked at the white world outside. He turned around, closed the courtyard door, and walked out.

Step on the snowy trails in the mountains, climb the steps, and follow the winding mountain roads to the top of the mountain.

The village where Wang Zhong is located is built on the mountain, starting from the foot of the mountain and reaching halfway up the mountain. At the foot of the mountain is a small river. Originally, the river was much wider than it is now, but in the 1960s and 1970s, there was a lot of construction, and the water was dammed upstream. , the water flow in the downstream area of ​​the dam has also decreased a lot.

More than ten years ago, when Wang Zhong was a child, the water in the river was still clear and transparent. However, in just ten years, the once clear river gradually became polluted. All kinds of domestic garbage and sewage flowed down the river from the upstream. Although it was filtered at the dam, all the domestic sewage from the villages along the bank was discharged into the river, and the river water never looked the same again.

The south is different from the north. Winter in the north basically freezes, but not in the south. Wang Zhong's hometown is located in southwestern Hunan, and the climate is warm. That is, it freezes in the morning. Near noon, as the sun comes out, the temperature gets warmer. It just melted.

Especially in the past few years, the climate has become warmer. In winter, it is difficult to see the situation like when I was a child with several feet of snow, icy roads, frozen rivers, and mountain and road closures.

The mountains and plains were covered with a layer of pure white gauze, and many of the trees on the mountains were bent down by the snow, and some had their branches broken.

Looking at the familiar scene in front of him, Wang Zhong couldn't help but smile.

The mountains in the distance are shrouded in clouds and mist, half hidden and half visible, and the mountains are like white waves.

“I’ve traveled all over the country, all over the world, and seen so many strange sights, it’s still the most comfortable to see them at home.”

Whether it’s the vast Gobi desert in the northwest; or the vast expanse of harbors and docks, where the sea and sky are the same color; or the cold Northeast where it’s ice and snow as soon as winter comes, as if you’ve stepped into a snow country; and the solemn, prosperous and dreamlike Northeast. The capital of the country.

Although each has its own characteristics and various sights, which are shocking and make people forget to leave, none of them are as powerful as the small mountain villages in front of them that can be seen everywhere in the south.

The fierce cold wind blew towards his face, and Wang Zhong suddenly felt a bit of pride in his chest. He turned around and set up his boxing frame, and practiced boxing and kicking routines on the bluestone on the top of the mountain amidst the wind and snow.

The punches come out like the wind, sometimes as slow as a turtle crawling, sometimes as fast as lightning, sometimes softly and freely, sometimes hard and fast, domineering and brutal, almost all parts of the body including fists, palms, fingers, claws, elbows, knees, and feet. It's involved.

After a few minutes, Wang Zhong's movements became slower and slower, and his moves became more and more concise.

Suddenly he punched out, the wind howled and made a loud noise, and the wind and snow within a foot to the left of the fist suddenly disappeared.

Cao Lin stood up with his fists closed, letting the snowflakes fall on his head and shoulders, with a clear smile on his face.

Half an hour later, Wang Zhong arrived at his uncle's house by the river.

The old couple were sitting on the edge of the sofa. The fire grill was covered with a quilt. My uncle was wearing a good trade jacket and a black mink coat on his shoulders. Although my uncle and grandma were not wearing a coat, their thick sweaters and cotton-padded jackets were also worn. The clothes are bulging, no less than those of my uncle.

There was a charcoal fire burning in the grill, and the fire was very strong.

"Here we come!" My uncle and grandma were sitting on the side. When they saw Wang Zhong come in, a smile immediately appeared on their faces, and they did not forget to remind my uncle quickly: "Wang Zhong is here!"

"Uncle, uncle and grandma, we are watching TV! What do you want to eat for lunch?"

"Let's just deal with it, we're not even hungry!" said my uncle.

"Hurry up and warm yourself by the fire!"

Uncle and grandma did not forget to greet Wang Zhong to warm himself by the fire, for fear that Wang Zhong would freeze.

"It's okay, young people don't have any advantages, they just resist freezing!" Wang Chong said with a smile.

My uncle said: "There are still eggs in the refrigerator, let's fry some green pepper scrambled eggs!"

Wang Zhong said: "I'll cut some more meat and bones and stew them with the radishes!"

"Radish is good! Eat radish in winter and ginger in summer. In such a cold day, you should eat radish." When talking about radish stew, my uncle's eyes immediately lit up.

The older generation is not interested in those fancy hot pots, especially now that the old couple are getting older and their diets tend to be light, and heavy oil, salt, and spicy food are not suitable. "Then I'll prepare it first." Wang Chong smiled and entered the kitchen.

Kitchens in the countryside are different from those in the city. The kitchen in my uncle's house is an independent one, with an area of ​​more than forty square meters. There are two neat piles of chopped firewood stacked near the door. The window is made of red bricks. , a tiled stove outside.

Near the door are two firewood stoves. Wang Zhong dismantled the old stove and rebuilt it. In the middle is a chopping board and pool, and in the back is a gas stove.

Wang Zhong burned a wood-fired stove, started a fire with pine roots covered with oil paper, poured half a pot of water into the pot, took out a piece of fresh pork and three ribs from the space, put cold water into the pot, and added onions and ginger.

Turning around and leaving the kitchen, he went to the vegetable patch next to the house and pulled three radishes back. Washed, peeled and cut them into large pieces. Cut the blanched pork and ribs into evenly sized pieces. Cut the meat and ribs first. Put it in a pot and stir-fry until all the fat is fried. Remove most of the fried fat, add water and simmer.

Covering the pot, Wang Zhong began to prepare the chili scrambled eggs.

The chili peppers are all slightly spicy varieties.

Forty-five minutes later, the fragrant and hot chili scrambled eggs and radish stew were served to the table by Wang Zhong.

It was light but not bland, which suited the taste of the couple. My uncle ate less, only one bowl of rice, but he drank two bowls of soup and nibbled a lot of radishes.

My aunt and uncle had a huge appetite, so they drank two bowls and ate seven or eight pieces of meat. If she hadn't been worried about her health, the old lady could have eaten several more pieces.

"How's your farmhouse doing?" After dinner, my uncle asked about Wang Zhong's farmhouse.

Wang Zhong said: "The decoration is almost finished, and we will be able to open it during the Chinese New Year."

My uncle said firmly: "With your skills, once you open your business, your business will definitely be booming!"

"Xiao Zhong's cooking is getting more and more delicious!" My uncle and grandma also smiled and encouraged Wang Zhong.

"How's the search going?" Uncle asked again.

Wang Zhong said: "I have made an agreement with Shuping's mother and Zhiyuan's mother. They are responsible for the kitchen and cleaning. As for the cashier and waiter, there are no suitable candidates yet."

Wang Zhong didn't plan to make the farmhouse too big, mainly because he didn't want to be too tired. After all, Wang Zhong was not short of money, and the farmhouse was just to pass the time in his spare time.

"You still have to find someone for cashiering, preferably younger. Just find someone for the waiter who is quick, diligent and willing to work." After all, my uncle is a retired cadre. He has managed more than a hundred people in his hands, so he has management experience. No shortage.

Wang Zhongdao: "I want to find two younger girls, but now there are either old people or children in the village. The young ones have all gone out to work. I really don't have any goals for a while."

Not all young people have gone to other places, some have stayed in their hometowns, but they usually work in the city and rarely go back to the countryside.

"Hey!" My uncle and grandma seemed to have remembered something and said, "I heard that the girl from the old calligraphy house in Laozhai is back. If you have time, why don't you go and ask?"

"Who is Dong Shu?" Wang Zhong asked curiously.

"Liu Dongshu, you want to bring some money to marry us!" said my aunt.

The uncle said: "His grandma is my cousin who lives next to your grandpa. If you really want to count it out, you have to call her cousin."

Wang Dian nodded and said, "Then I'll go ask in the afternoon, but I'm afraid the girl won't be happy!"

The uncle nodded and said: "Today's young people have seen a lot of the world, but they may not be willing to do it!"

After all, cashiers and waiters are not high-paying jobs, and in places like my hometown, the wages are even lower.

Wang Zhong smiled and joked with the two elders: "Uncle, uncle, grandma, if you don't believe me, you can go and help me when the time comes!"

······

"It's you?"

In the afternoon, Wang Zhongzhen went to the house of his cousin named Liu Dongshu in the old village across the river that his aunt and uncle had told him about. Unfortunately, that cousin went to the city early in the morning and has not come back yet. Only his aunt and the uncle were there. The cousin whose name I know is at home.

Although Wang Zhong didn't know his cousin's uncle or aunt, his cousin knew Wang Zhong. After all, Wang Zhong was one of the few college students in the village at that time.

But when he saw the target this time, Wang Zhong was really surprised.

"Wang Zhong?" This girl, who didn't know whether she was a cousin or a cousin, was also surprised to see Wang Zhong.

"When did you come back?" This girl used to be classmates with Wang Zhong, but only in elementary school. They both studied in the village school. At that time, there were only one class for each grade in the school, with more than twenty and less than ten. One or two.

"Two days ago!" The girl's name was Liu Li, and she looked like Zhou Zheng. Perhaps because she was at home, she didn't wear makeup. Compared with her childhood, she didn't change much except for her height, but her facial features were quite delicate.

"Why are you here?" Liu Li looked at Wang Zhong curiously.

Wang Zhong said bluntly: "Didn't I run a farmhouse? I'm recruiting soldiers. I'm thinking of finding a few young girls to fill in the facade. I heard that you just came back from outside, so I came to your door non-stop. Yeah! I really didn’t know it was you before I came here!”

Liu Li's eyes lit up and she asked curiously: "Is it still being renovated by the river at the entrance of the village?"

"That's it!"

"Okay, old classmate, you are doing well. The investment for such a big house must be in the millions!"

"Bite the bullet!" Wang Zhong said with a smile.

Wang Zhong also didn't expect that this cousin he had never met before would turn out to be his elementary school classmate.

"Awesome!" Liu Li praised: "As expected of a college student!"

"By the way, what are you going to do with me?"

Wang Zhongdao: "We are still short of cashiers and receptionists. As for salary, how about a basic salary of three thousand? If the business is good, there will be bonuses, which will be paid on a monthly basis. What do you think, old classmate? Do you want to consider it?"

"Basic salary three thousand?"

Wang Zhongdao: "The probation period is three months. If you decide to stay after three months, you will pay for social security."

"You're also helping to pay social security? Are the benefits so good?" Liu Li's eyes looked back and forth at Wang Zhong: "You don't want to set my sights on me, do you want to find a place near the water?"

Wang Zhong smiled and said: "Why, I can't have your idea?"

"Of course!" Liu Li raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled at the corners of her eyes.
