Chapter 615: Heartless relatives [Second update]
"Slow down, no one is urging you, why are you eating so fast?" Mother Yu watched her daughter quickly put the rice and vegetables in the bowl into her mouth, and swallowed them whole, her eyebrows pounding.
"I know, I know." Yu Mengmeng slowed down a little, but still quickly finished the rice in the bowl, pushed the bowl and chopsticks away, and ran to the living room.
Dad Yu's brows also frowned, "Have you finished your homework and just watched TV?"
"You've finished your homework and you'll finish it at school. Let me see if the boss has a live broadcast." Yu Mengmeng turned on the TV and found Zhenda The APP of Shuai Live Room opens.
Dad Yu's expression softened a little, "Mengmeng, even if you like to watch the handsome live broadcast, you can't delay studying. Otherwise, you won't be able to cope with both exams." The exam in the live broadcast room is the same as the real exam, and it will involve The cultural knowledge in various subjects is also the main reason why as a parent, he can safely let his children follow the live broadcast of the boss.
"Don't worry, dad." Yu Mengmeng said obediently, "I did everything carefully. I only made two mistakes in English. I copied them 20 times each. You and mom can check." Dad Yu was extremely satisfied,
" That's right, then you can watch it. The live broadcast is on? Your mother and I will watch it with you later." "It's on,
but it's dark and I can't see clearly. I don't know what's going on..." Yu Mengmeng I thought it was a TV brightness problem, but after changing the settings, the live broadcast room was still dark. Only then did she realize that it was probably a problem with the anchor's environment.
Other spectators were also wondering, and the barrage was flashing.
The most beautiful woman in China: The anchor finally started live broadcasting, but where is it? Why can't I see anything clearly in the pitch black?
Los Angeles Lights: Look at the options in the upper right corner to watch in holographic mode! Wow, cool! I like!
Great Wall: Thumbs up for the holographic mode! The host's environment seems not to be very good. Bad start?
Thousands of years later: No rush, just watch it slowly now that the live broadcast is on.
Oil Tycoon: If the previous worlds were in holographic mode, the experience would be even better, just like playing a holographic game!
Arabian Prince: It’s even better if you can choose the viewing angle! Long live the anchor!
Summer Breeze: Hahahaha! Can I say that I have been dreaming about being able to choose my own perspective for a long time? The wait is finally here! No one can stop me, I want to choose the anchor’s perspective!
Silence: The anchor's perspective is +1, and he smells a faint musty smell. It seems that the commander is in a bad situation.
African Chief: I also chose the anchor’s perspective. So, where is the anchor? Why is there no sound at all?
Where is Zhen Shuai?
Lying in bed helpless!
004 gave him two mission worlds for him to choose. One is "Ordinary Family" and the other is "Ice Age". Just these eight words, and nothing else can be seen. Ninety-nine point nine percent of the time the latter is the end of the world, so of course he would choose the former. Who knows, the former is not simple either.
The real owner of his current identity died of a persistent fever when he was three years old, and he replaced the original owner at that time. In other words, the audience has not seen him for only a few days, but he has truly lived in this world for twelve years, and the experiences and memories during this period are all his own. During this period, his previous memories, including his previous identity, live broadcast system, tasks, etc., were blocked until they were restored a few minutes ago. So he just remembered that there are tens of billions of viewers waiting for him.
His current status and situation are very bad, so he doesn't want to move.
In fact, it was only around eight o'clock in the morning, but because the room had no windows and no lights were turned on, it was completely dark.
He can guess what the audience is saying without looking at the barrage.
He said mournfully: [The current identity of the anchor is that his father passed away two years ago, and his mother ran away three days ago. There is a sister above him, who is sixteen years old. She is a medicine jar. The third and fourth children are twin sisters, they are twelve years old. There is a younger brother below, who is five years old. 】
The audience sympathized for a while.
"Don't all the burdens of life fall on the anchor? The anchor is really miserable!"
"Anchor, how old are you now?"
Zhen Shuai said expressionlessly [Fifteen, he is a fool who fails in every exam, and he is also criticized by the village. The locals nicknamed him "What a Fool." 】
The audience laughed very loudly.
[Hahahahahahahahaha-where is Brother Shen? Anchor, what's going on with Brother Shen? ]
Mentioning Governor Shen Xing, Zhen Shuai felt a little better and finally sat up from the bed.
[Let me think about it... The governor seems to be from the same village as me...]
At this moment, there was a rapid and violent knock on the door outside.
"Bang, bang, bang! Bang, bang, bang! Bang, bang, bang -"
The person who knocked on the door seemed not to stop until he opened the door, and the dust on the roof was shaken so hard that it fell down.
"Who is it?" Zhen Shuai shouted angrily.
The knocking on the door paused and then became more intense, accompanied by a woman's yelling, which was unbearable.
The holographic mode experience from the anchor's perspective was so real that the curse words were right in the audience's ears. Countless viewers were frightened by the loud voice and subconsciously rubbed their ears.
"Zhen Shuai! Since you are at home, open the door for me quickly! Do you still care about your little brat? Why are you so shameless that you run to my mother's house day after day? Is the food in my mother's house blown by the strong wind? How dare you talk to me? I'm snatching my son! Does ××× still want face? Are you ×× beggars? If you admit that you are beggars, you can eat at my mother's house! Open the door! Open the door quickly! If you don't give me an explanation today, I will tell you You're not done yet!"
The curse was mixed with a loud cry unique to children.
"Who is the scolder? It must have been a very unpleasant scolding, and it was beeped in the live broadcast room!" A viewer muttered in a low voice, but found that his words turned into a large text, suspended in mid-air. He quickly realized that this was the barrage method in holographic mode. At the same time, he also saw other floating barrage, row after row, without interfering with each other. He poked it in amusement, and found that he could actually touch it, as soft as plasticine. The text disappears after hovering for three seconds.
Some unpleasant words are muffled in the ears of the audience, but not in Zhen Shuai's ears. He walked out of the room with a cold face, opened the door of the main room suddenly, and stepped aside at the same time.
A fat middle-aged woman kept knocking on the door with her right hand and pounced forward. She fell to the ground and seemed to bounce a little. Her facial features were distorted in pain.
"Ouch -"
Zhen Shuai snickered and suppressed his smile before the visitor raised his head.
"Auntie, what are you doing? Today is not the Chinese New Year. Even if it is the Chinese New Year, you are an elder and you don't have to pay me such a big courtesy." "Zhen Shuai! You are looking for death!" Wu Gui's face turned red from the fragrance, and his eyes widened with anger
. He opened his eyes, quickly got up from the ground, and greeted Zhen Shuai's face with his fat palms without hesitation.
Zhen Shuai quickly ducked aside. But he forgot that he was only a fifteen-year-old boy now, and a fifteen-year-old boy who was as thin as a stick and had not eaten enough for two days.
Wu Guixiang's slap fell heavily on his shoulder like an iron palm. The place where he was hit suddenly felt a burning pain, and his whole body fell back involuntarily, hitting the chair behind him and falling with the chair. on the ground. The leg of the wooden chair happened to hit his stomach, causing another sharp pain.
The audience was frightened and screamed, worried about the anchor.
"Anchor, be careful! This auntie like you is definitely not a good person! Is this my auntie?"
Zhen Cheng, who just threw his head back and howled, forgot to cry and opened his mouth stupidly.
Wu Guixiang was still angry and strode towards Zhen Shuai, glaring and raising her right hand.
Zhen Shuai had never been so miserable before, and he was also annoyed. He was not one to take advantage of others, so he quickly got up from the ground and walked towards Wu Guixiang. When she raised her left foot, he took the opportunity to raise his leg and tripped her.
Wu Guixiang screamed and lay on the ground, knocking her chin so hard that tears burst out of her eyes. She was angry and hateful, pointed at Zhen Shuai and roared loudly, "Zhen Shuai - you bastard! You are dead -"
Zhen Shuai rubbed his belly and kicked the chair on the ground against the wall. There was a loud "bang"!
"Shut up!"
Wu Guixiang was frightened into silence and looked at him in surprise.
"You, you, are you crazy? Don't act like this. I, I'm your aunt!" There was
a lot of commotion just now, and Zhen Shuai was afraid of attracting the neighbors. When living in a village, you still have to pay attention to your reputation.
He lowered his voice, "Get out of here! Don't worry, my family will never go to your house to eat in the future."
Seeing that he was afraid, Wu Guixiang's short-term timidity also dissipated, and she clumsily got up from the ground.
"I can trust you once, but that bastard Zhen Cheng came to my house again and stole my son's eggs. You have to pay me compensation. Also, you caused me to fall twice, and you have to pay compensation! Look! Since you are my nephew, just give me ten yuan!"
Zhen Shuai frowned, where does he have money? His family may not be able to get even a penny out now.
"I have no money. My mother took all the money away."
Wu Guixiang was stunned and snorted: "That mother of yours is really cruel!"
Zhen Shuai frowned so hard that he could kill a fly. Heaven! It's not that he has never lived in a rural area, but the total amount of trash talk he heard was not as much as what he heard in the past ten minutes today.
"It's your fault that you don't have money. If you don't give it -" Wu Guixiang's eyes rolled around and she glanced around the room. She moved the 90% new dining table placed against the wall, "Forget it. , I’ll just move this away.”
How can we eat if the dining table is moved?
"Auntie!" Zhen Shuai stopped her and emphasized, "You are my dear auntie!"
Wu Guixiang pushed him away with her fat ass nonchalantly, "I'd rather not be kissed! Get out of my way!"
Zhen Shuai staggered again due to the pouting, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Seeing this scene, the audience sympathized with and couldn't help but feel happy.
Wu Guixiang was holding the table, which did not affect her ability to walk quickly and quickly disappeared outside the courtyard gate.
Chapter 616 Difficult Mission [First update]
Zhen Cheng touched his growling stomach, looked outside the yard, then looked at his brother, and continued to cry with his mouth open.
"Wow wow wow—"
The voice was sharp and harsh, and veins jumped in Zhen Shuai's forehead.
"Shut up."
Zhen Cheng stopped suddenly, burped, and looked at his brother with wide eyes, not understanding why he seemed to be a different person. His brother is usually very good to him. Whenever he cries, he will immediately come over to comfort him. In the past, he would always leave something delicious for him, and he would never be harsh to him.
Zhen Shuai glanced at the little kid in front of him who was no taller than his thighs. He saw that his tears and snot had turned into mud and dried on his cheeks. There was a "black necklace" hanging around his neck. His clothes were so dirty that it was hard to tell. color, and the nails on the dark hands were full of black mud. He turned his head away, unable to believe that he, who loves cleanliness so much, had actually lived with such a dirty child for twelve years.
The disgust on his face seemed to hurt the kid's self-esteem. He closed his eyes, raised his head, and cried again.
"Wow - wow - wow -"
The audience did not mean to blame the host. In fact, this child was really too dirty. The dark spots on his clothes and cuffs were probably dried snot. Ouch! Not to mention the anchor, they don't want to take a second look and instead look at the anchor's living environment.
The Zhen family's house is the most ordinary private house, with earthen walls and black tiles and a floor. It has one large room and four small rooms. The large room is a dining room, and the four small rooms are one for the kitchen and one for the parents. The rooms, one is the room for the three girls, and the other is Zhen Shuai's room. There is no room for Zhen Cheng. Before, Zhen Cheng was slept with Xu Xiuli, the mother of the Zhen family. The courtyard walls are also made of adobe bricks, and are full of pits and traces of time. There are two rooms with thatched roofs on the left and right of the courtyard gate. One side is a pigsty and a chicken coop, and the other side is a warehouse for storing sundries. The pig pen was now empty. There were two pigs and more than twenty chickens, but Xu Xiuli secretly sold them. Naturally, the money was taken away, leaving not a penny to the children.
In short, one word, poor, two words, really poor!
Zhen Cheng saw that Commander Zhen ignored him and fell to the ground rolling around.
"Wow - wow - wow -"
Zhen Shuai was also hungry. He came to the kitchen and opened the cupboard. Apart from the bowls and chopsticks, there were only a few garlic, half a piece of ginger and half a bag of flour. He opened the rice vat again, and inside The rice can only just cover the bottom of the tank. Fortunately, he found a snakeskin bag under the cupboard with four large sweet potatoes in it. Apart from this, there is no other food at all. Even the firewood was only left in a small pile in the corner, and I was afraid it would only last for two days at most.
The audience once again lamented that the anchor was miserable.
Zhen Cheng was probably tired from crying and there was no movement.
Zhen Shuai still didn't care. He washed the rice and prepared to cook a pot of porridge to fill his stomach first.
A viewer reminded, [Anchor, have you forgotten your space? 】
Zhen Shuai was helpless, 【The space cannot be used. Otherwise, what do you think? 】
At this time, a thin voice sounded outside, "Chengcheng, why are you lying on the ground?"
Zhen Xiang came back.
Xu Xiuli was not yet eighteen years old when she gave birth to Zhenxiang. Perhaps because of this, Zhenxiang's health has not been good since she was born. She has been so thin that a gust of wind can blow her away. She can't do heavy work either. She usually only cleans the house, washes clothes and cooks at home. At this time, a basket full of wet clothes hung on her arms. Inside was a family's clothes that had been washed by the river.
Zhen Cheng was lying on the ground and almost fell asleep. When he saw his eldest sister finally coming back, he started crying at the top of his lungs. Tears came at every turn, and he cried and rolled around.
"Sister, eldest sister, brother...brother, he bullied me!"
Zhen Xiang glanced reproachfully at Zhen Shuai who poked his head out of the kitchen, put down the laundry basket, and picked up Zhen Cheng from the ground.
Zhen Cheng kicked his legs while crying, and soon Zhen Xiang was covered in dust.
"Sister, I'm so hungry, wuwuwu..."
Zhenxiang just frowned and endured the pain, not letting go of him, and patiently coaxed him.
"Don't cry, don't cry. Sister, I'm going to cook now."
The more she coaxed, the louder Zhen Cheng cried.
"Sister, I still want to eat eggs!"
"Okay, okay! Sister, I'll boil the eggs for you. Stop crying!"
Zhen Shuai shook his head and turned back to the kitchen.
Zhen Xiang walked in with Zhen Cheng in her arms and glanced at the pot, "Cooking porridge? I'll do it, you go hang the clothes." "Are
n't you tired of putting this fat boy down and holding him all the time?" Zhen Shuai said. .
Zhen Cheng was originally looking at the pot, but after hearing this, he immediately turned around, wrapped his arms tightly around Zhen Xiang's neck, and said loudly: "
I don't! I want my eldest sister to hold me!"
"It's okay, I'll hold her. "Zhen Xiang obviously couldn't hold him anymore, so he moved Zhen Cheng from his left arm to his right arm.
Zhen Cheng looked at Zhen Shuai proudly, his legs dangling.
In just this moment, sweat appeared on Zhen Xiang's face.
One was willing to be beaten and the other was willing to suffer. Zhen Shuai said nothing more and went out to dry the clothes.
As soon as I finished drying one item, two girls walked in one after the other.
It's Zhen Duo and Zhen Guo.
There are five children in the family, but Zhen Cheng is chubby, white and tender, while the two girls are as thin as bamboo poles. They are very similar to Zhen Xiang, with regular facial features, but their skin is a bit darker. Although they look exactly the same, one of them is obviously better at dressing up than the other. Her two braids are neatly combed, and there is a gardenia picked somewhere on each braid. The other girl only wears her braid. He had a ponytail and was holding a bundle of firewood in his right hand.
Zhen Guo called "Brother" and ran into the kitchen. When she saw that the porridge was not ready yet, she stamped her feet.
"Sister, the food is not cooked yet? Why are you cooking so late? I'm almost starving!"
The audience couldn't sit still.
【I go! Why is this girl talking to her sister like this? 】
"You are starving to death and you don't know how to stay home and cook? Where have you gone?"
Zhen Xiang spoke softly even if she was angry. Zhen Guo was not afraid of her at all.
"Why am I so wild? Zhen Duo and I went to collect firewood!"
"Brother." Zhen Duo put down the firewood and helped Zhen Shuai hang out his clothes.
After living in this family for twelve years, Zhen Shuai did not feel uncomfortable with the word "brother" and responded, "It's just these clothes, I don't need your help." Zhen Duo kept moving his hands
.
"It's okay, I'm not tired!"
After a while of silence, she whispered: "Brother, mom ran away, what should we do in the future? I checked in the morning, and the food at home is enough for today. When I came back, I passed by grandpa's house. I was going to ask my grandpa to borrow some food, but grandma closed the door as soon as she saw me."
Even though they knew that the anchor would not be able to use the things they gave him for the time being, the audience still gave the anchor a lot of gifts.
Zhen Shuai paused his hand and smiled reassuringly at Zhen Duo, "Don't worry, I will find a way."
"How about borrowing it from your uncle?" Zhen Duo asked.
Zhen Shuai shook his head and said confidently, "Just leave it alone."
The audience suddenly remembered the most important thing.
[Anchor, what is your mission this time? 】
Zhen Shuai's confident attitude immediately disappeared, [Haha, this mission? The mission this time is to become a millionaire within five years. 】
What?
The audience thought they heard wrongly. From the fact that the aunt wanted to extort ten yuan before, we can probably tell that this was an era when prices were not high, either in the 1980s or 1990s. Becoming a millionaire in this era was not easy. An easy thing! Especially since the anchor is still young, only fifteen years old, still a child.
[You heard that right. 】Zhen Shuai is very calm. It's not that he's not worried, the main reason is that he has nothing now and is in no hurry.
"It's time to start dinner." Zhen Xiang's voice sounded in the kitchen.
Zhen Guo came out with a bowl of porridge and found that the square table in the dining room was gone.
"Hey? Where's the table?"
Everyone looked at Zhen Shuai.
Zhen Shuai had a fever last night. Everyone else had gone out in the morning, and he was the only one at home.
"I was moved away by my aunt," Zhen Shuai said.
"Auntie is going too far!" Zhen Guo said angrily.
Zhen Xiang sighed helplessly, "Forget it, let's eat first. Shuaishuai, put the benches together."
Two benches were put together into a simple table, and several people sat around the table.
Zhen Xiang called out to Zhen Cheng who was hiding somewhere, "Chengcheng, where are you? It's time to eat." "
Oh! It's time to eat!"
Zhen Cheng clapped his hands and ran out of the room. He saw that there was only porridge, but he didn't see him. With a wave of his hand, his porridge bowl was knocked over, and all the porridge in the bowl spilled on the ground.
"I want to eat eggs! I want to eat eggs!"
"Zhen Cheng!" Zhen Duo grabbed Zhen Cheng's arm and slapped his butt several times.
"Wow wow wow -" Zhen Cheng suddenly started crying again, the demonic sound piercing his ears.
Zhen Xiang quickly picked up Zhen Cheng and coaxed her, "Zhen Duo, why are you hitting him? He's still young!"
Zhen Shuai looked at the porridge on the ground and wished he could slap the naughty child on the butt.
Zhen Guo also felt sorry for the bowl of porridge, "Sister, Zhen Cheng is already five years old, not too young!"
Zhen Xiang glanced at her disapprovingly, "He is only five years old, what can he understand?"
Zhen Duo said with a straight face. , "Just spoil him, he will be spoiled one day."
"Already spoiled." Zhen Guo muttered.
Don't think that your child can't understand what others say when he is young. You can tell from Zhen Cheng's crying louder that he understands.
Zhen Cheng lay next to Zhen Xiang's ear. Zhen Xiang probably couldn't bear it anymore and said to Zhen Shuai: "Shuai Shuai, why don't you borrow an egg from next door and I'll cook it for Zhen Cheng. We can't let him keep it. Keep crying like this."
This kid was getting a little crooked. Zhen Shuai deliberately pushed him back slowly and sat there without moving. "I won't go. If he doesn't feel tired, he will continue to cry." Zhen Cheng's cry stopped
. One second, just one second.
Zhen Xiang sighed, hugged Zhen Cheng and went out.
Zhen Guo said hurriedly: "Sister, borrow one more, I want to eat it too!"
Zhen Guo glanced at her.
"What's wrong?" Zhen Guo asked in confusion while drinking her porridge.
Zhen Duo lowered her head, "It's nothing."
Zhen Guo was stunned for a moment, "If you also want to eat eggs, just tell the eldest sister."
Zhen Duo slowly stirred the porridge with the chopsticks in her hand, "My mother sold all the chickens at home. Yes, what should we use to pay back the eggs we borrowed?"
