Xueba's life simulator

Chapter 156 The Return
"Mom, dad, grandpa, do you want to move to the city?" Zhou Ming made this suggestion to his family again. He told his grandparents about this suggestion when he came back last year, and his The answer given by grandparents this time is naturally the same as last time, and they don't want to go to the city.

"Xiao Ming, grandma knows that you are doing it for our own good, and want us to live a better life in a big city.

Grandma knows that the transportation in the city is convenient, and the medical facilities are many times better than those in the countryside, but grandma has lived here for most of her life, and your grandpa has lived here all his life. We are all used to life here , do not want to move to other places.

We appreciate your kindness, as long as you can come back often to see grandma.

If you are busy and can't come back, you should always call grandma. "

Zhou Ming's grandmother said to Zhou Ming.

This is the mentality that many elderly people have. After all, they have lived in one place for decades. How can it be so easy to just move away?

"Your grandma is right, we have lived here for decades, and we are used to the people and things here, and we don't want to move to other places.

Moving to other places is unfamiliar, and we don't even have a person to talk to.

And your parents, and your uncle's family are also here, we live very well here. "

After Zhou Ming's grandma finished speaking, his grandfather also said to him.

Hearing what his grandparents said, Zhou Ming didn't say anything more. After all, he didn't have much hope before he said this, and it was just a routine question.

The topic at the dinner table continued, but they were the ones who asked, and Zhou Ming answered.

……

"How is this year? Why did you come back earlier this year than in previous years? Didn't you come back on the 27th or 28th in previous years?"

It was already the second day after Zhou Ming returned to his hometown. After having breakfast early in the morning, he went to Liu Qiran's house, and he had already started chatting with Liu Qiran.

周明这里说的27、28并不是指阳历的27、28，而是指农历的27和28。

The twelfth lunar month, which is the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, generally has 30 days, and the 30th day is New Year's Eve, commonly known as New Year's Eve.

However, sometimes there is no Lunar New Year’s Eve, because sometimes the twelfth lunar month only has 29 days, not 30 days. For example, this year, New Year’s Eve falls on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, and the next day is the Spring Festival on the first day of the first lunar month.

But even though this year's twelfth lunar month only has 29 days, Zhou Ming came back on February 2, which is the 3th of the twelfth lunar month in the lunar calendar, and Liu Qiran came back a few days earlier than Zhou Ming. He didn't ask the exact time, but it was probably on the 25st or 21nd. No, this is indeed much earlier than his usual return time.

"What else can I do? Of course I can't compare to you, a great scientist." At this point, Liu Qiran smiled, patted Zhou Ming on the shoulder, and continued, "I really didn't expect that, but you have changed in a year. You are so powerful, although I don't know exactly how powerful you are, but seeing the news about you on TV a few days ago, I know that you are definitely not ordinary."

"It's all good luck, good luck." Zhou Ming also said modestly. His words are indeed modest to others, but in the eyes of Zhou Ming who said these words, it is true. It is indeed because of his good luck. .

If he hadn't been lucky enough to own a life simulator, Zhou Ming wouldn't be able to have his current life, and it wouldn't be possible for him to change so much in just over a year.

"By the way, you haven't said why you came back so early this year." Zhou Ming asked the question that Liu Qiran didn't answer just now.

"My wife just gave birth to a baby. It's not easy to take care of the baby at work in the factory over there, and it's impossible for me to let my grandparents take care of the baby. They are all so old. And..." When Liu Qiran said this, He lowered his head, as if he was thinking about how to say the following words.

Although Liu Qiran was the same age as Zhou Ming, his weather-beaten face looked much older than Zhou Ming, not in his early 20s at all, but more like in his 30s.

It seems that Liu Qiran has not only worked in the factory these years, he must have also done many other jobs under the sun.

"What's the matter?" Zhou Ming asked curiously when he saw that Liu Qiran fell silent before he finished speaking.

After hearing Zhou Ming's question, Liu Qiran raised his head to look at Zhou Ming, and said to Zhou Ming: "Besides, I don't want my children to follow my old path. You also know what happens to left-behind children. People like you After all, they are a minority.”

After listening to Liu Qiran, it was Zhou Ming who lowered his head and fell into deep thought this time.

Of course Zhou Ming knew what Liu Qiran said about not wanting his children to follow his old path, and what he meant when he said that people like him were in the minority.

What Liu Qiran said is actually a vicious circle formed by most left-behind children in rural areas. Only a very small number of people who are smart and lucky can get rid of this vicious circle.

This vicious circle is like this, because they can't make much money from farming in the countryside, and even if they go to work in the county town, they can't make much money, so many of them can only go out to work in big cities.

Many people do not take their children with them when they go out to work. They can only leave their children in their hometown to be taken care of by their parents, and then send their wages home every month for the elderly and children to go to school. This way, there is Left-behind children and left-behind elderly people.

Due to various reasons such as poor environment, poor rural education, and lack of supervision from their elders, these left-behind children are not very many able to enter university. Many of those who went to college went out to work directly, and only a small number stayed in the local area.

Those who go out to work, some go to work in the city where their parents live, and some go to work in another city that they have never touched before, and then they will get married again and have children.

Some of the children born to these grown-up left-behind children will be left in the village to be taken care of by their grandparents like their parents, some will be taken with them, and some will be handed over to them. Take care of your parents.

So far, a vicious circle has been formed, which is what Liu Qiran said Zhou Ming knew.

And when Liu Qiran said that he didn't want his children to follow his old path, he meant that he didn't want to leave his children in the village as a left-behind child because he had no time to take care of them because he was working in a factory.

He is going to change to a job that can take care of children, and he hopes to keep his children by his side.

And when Liu Qiran said that people like Zhou Ming were in the minority after all, he did not mean that people like Zhou Ming who were professors and were reported by CCTV were in the minority.

After all, among the people Liu Qiran knew, Zhou Ming was the only one who was like Zhou Ming. Apart from Zhou Ming, we couldn't say that there were only a few, but only zero.

Therefore, what Liu Qiran said only refers to getting into college.

And as far as Liu Qiran knew, although some older children had been admitted to college and had graduated and worked for several years, their lives were not much better than his own, at least they didn't give people the feeling of a world of difference.

At this time, Zhou Ming thought of himself again. If there was no life simulator, why wouldn't he be in such a strange circle?
Oh, by the way, if there is no life simulator, I really wouldn't be in this vicious circle.

Because without the life simulator, Zhou Ming died suddenly in his 20s, without a wife or children, and this strange circle on him would naturally disappear.

Gan!
If Zhou Ming didn't die suddenly when he didn't have a life simulator, then according to his idea of ​​continuing to stay in Jinling after graduation, then according to the housing prices in Jinling, his family might have to use up their savings to pay for a house. A down payment for a house.

And this house is still the kind of house that is already considered very cheap in Jinling. As for the house in the school district, don’t even think about it, it’s just a dream.

After paying the down payment, the family will have to pay off the mortgage together.

If only relying on Zhou Ming's salary to repay the loan, with his major, this school, and what he has learned in the past four years, he can't pay the loan for a month without eating or drinking.

"It seems that I have to do something, but now the company can't spare any energy, and it needs to develop for another year. After another year of development, the company will probably grow into a world-class one."

From what Liu Qiran said, Zhou Ming thought a lot, and finally he decided to do something.

Zhou Ming still remembers that after he used the life simulator once, the life simulator’s evaluation of his life in the simulation mentioned that he was an excellent people’s entrepreneur, who helped ordinary scholars and was selfless. Dedicated to helping many people in need, he also built schools, built roads...

Although every time he uses the life simulator, Zhou Ming in the simulation has one more simulation experience than he did in the previous simulation, so his experience in each simulation will be different from the previous simulation experience.

But no matter how much he changed, Zhou Ming was still the same Zhou Ming, unless he was really taken away, otherwise it would be impossible to change beyond recognition.

As for the comments made by the life simulator on Zhou Ming in that simulation, Zhou Ming has not done any of them until now.

"I don't know if the construction of schools, road construction, and selfless dedication to help many people in need mentioned in the evaluation after the simulation refer to what I plan to do later?" Zhou Ming thought to himself.

"Xiao Ming?" Seeing Zhou Ming bowed his head in thought for a while, Liu Qiran yelled, and his yell finally brought Zhou Ming back from his future planning to reality.

"Oh! I was just thinking about something. Qiran, what are your plans for the future?" After being brought back to reality by Liu Qiran, Zhou Ming asked him again.

"I heard that the village used your name to bring in some investment. I'll see if I can find something to do in the village. If I can find something to do in the village, then I'll try it in the village first. If it doesn't work, I'll try it in the village first. , then go somewhere else." Liu Qiran expressed his thoughts without any concealment.

As for what Liu Qiran said about the village using Zhou Ming's name to attract investment, Zhou Ming has heard from his family that this is not using his name to bluff, but a method similar to star effect.

After chatting with Liu Qiran for a while, Zhou Ming and him went to find another childhood playmate.

……

Zhou Ming didn't stay at home for long, and he returned to Luzhou on the [-]th of February, that is, the eighth day of the first lunar month.

When I returned to my hometown this time, many people came to my door and wanted to ask Zhou Ming for help.

Some want to borrow money from Zhou Ming, some want to find a job for themselves or their children, and some are village cadres who want Zhou Ming to invest in the village.

Fortunately, Zhou Ming didn't see any of those who came to look for Zhou Ming, and no one came to him afterward.

As long as Zhou Ming helps anyone who comes to him, there will be an endless stream of people coming to him later.

Because if he doesn't help anyone, people will think that Zhou Ming really won't help anyone.

But if Zhou Ming only helped one, then people would think that if you can help one, you can help two, why can't you help them?And even if you can only help one or two, why aren't they the one or two?
Help, Zhou Ming definitely wants to help, but not this kind of help.

As the saying goes, it is better to teach people to fish than to give them fish. If you want to change the status quo in your hometown, it is useless to rely on charity, and it is useless to change only one or two people.

Only by blazing a path of sustainable development can we change the status quo of our hometown for a long time, so that some people will not always have the idea of ​​blood-sucking bugs and always want to lie on Zhou Ming's body to suck blood.

What is the road to sustainable development?
Naturally, technology and education.

However, these will have to wait another year.

Sitting in the car back to Luzhou, Zhou Ming called out the panel of the life simulator. At this time, the progress behind the document has become 100/100.

Although it was Chinese New Year, Zhou Ming didn't forget to read papers at home, and he would use his spare time to read papers every day.

As for the task of literature, he also completed it a few days ago, and now he has already started the task of reading books.

Just before Zhou Minggang summoned the life simulator, he had already finished reading the first bound book in the car.

And the degree of completion behind the book has finally changed from 0/50 to 1/50.

"Sigh, this book task is indeed much more difficult to complete than the thesis task." Looking at the book task that has progressed by one rank, Zhou Ming thought a little tiredly.

After returning to Luzhou, Zhou Ming did not go back to his residence immediately, but immediately went to the experimental field to see how his super beans were growing.

"It seems that the harvest will be ready in a few days, so I have to contact the higher-ups first, and let the higher-ups send someone to check and accept.

I can also take advantage of these few days to arrange tasks and projects for the artificial intelligence company for the next year. "On the way back to his residence from the experimental field, Zhou Ming began to think about his plans for the next few days.
