After rebirth, I was bound to the academic system

Time quickly came to the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month.

"In our hometown, as long as the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month has passed, it means that the countdown to the New Year has begun. From this day on, the most common thing to eat every morning is glutinous rice balls. In our place, there are sweet and meat glutinous rice balls, unlike some people in the north and south who only like to eat sweet or salty glutinous rice balls."

"Just like eating tofu pudding, some people like it sweet, and some people like it salty. Just follow each person's habits and tastes! Add whatever you like. Don't worry too much about other people's opinions."

"To be frank, I'm not a hater, but I saw some people eating salty tofu pudding in a short video, and the things they added were really too exaggerated. I can't accept it."

"It's just my personal intuitive feeling, please don't criticize me"

"Our country is vast and rich in resources. There are 56 ethnic groups on 960 million square kilometers of land. People of all ethnic groups live on this land. We respect every ethnic group and every person's beliefs, culture and heritage. We also believe that we are all descendants of Yan and Huang, and all Chinese people. As long as we live on this land, everything is worthy of respect and all customs are worth commemorating."

"If you are not used to seeing something or you don't like someone, you can just pretend you didn't see it or ignore it, but please don't easily spread rumors or cyberbully anyone. Just like you like eating green mango with chili, not everyone can taste it."

"Everyone has their own preferences."

"I woke up early in the morning to the sound of firecrackers in other people's homes."

"The 24th day of the twelfth lunar month is the Little New Year in our area. Every household makes glutinous rice balls in the morning, worships their ancestors and various gods, and sets off firecrackers. This tells people that the New Year atmosphere has arrived and that they should start cleaning the house, clearing away all the dust and dirt, and welcoming the arrival of New Year's Eve in a clean manner."

"Look, some people who got up early are already worshipping and setting off firecrackers."

"Fortunately, it didn't take long to make the dumplings. Several people worked together. Listening to the continuous sound of firecrackers, our family quickly burned incense and worshiped. A few minutes after the firecrackers, the gods and ancestors tasted the sacrificial fruits. After collecting the sacrificial fruits, the family sat down and slowly ate the dumplings."

"Sure enough, the taste of these artificial dumplings is incomparable to those frozen dumplings in the supermarket."

"It's soft and sticky, sweet and salty, and the taste is simply amazing. Not to mention that the glutinous rice flour and rice used in it are produced in my space, so the quality is absolutely impeccable."

What I look forward to most every year is these dumplings.

"Rural people are really at two extremes: the chickens, ducks, geese, meat and eggs they eat are all fed with pure grains, and even some fruits and vegetables are not sprayed with pesticides. Even the grains and coarse cereals are grown by themselves. The quality and taste are definitely good. These are the foods they eat at home, so they must be the best. But these things are not worth much if you sell them outside."

“I eat better and healthier than rich people, but my savings just can’t go up.”

"The funniest thing is: before rebirth, my parents raised a lot of poultry because they thought that chickens can lay eggs and have meat. They did it for their own convenience, not for business. But because they raised too many, they consumed a lot of food every day. So there was a period of time when my parents killed a chicken every few days to make chicken soup. The chickens were eaten in different ways. No matter how delicious the food was, it couldn't withstand so many times a month! I told my mother: You can sell some to others, but my mother said: I feed them with so much food, how can I bear to sell them to others? Not to mention that the price those people offered was only seven or eight yuan per pound more expensive than ordinary chicken. It was too uneconomical. It was better to keep it for my family to eat."

"You know what: the free-range chickens raised at home, the iron pot stewed chicken, the taste is really amazing, the texture is amazing, the meat quality is also the chicken on the market can not give you. Even if they are said to be free-range chickens, but compared with the meat quality of chickens raised at home, there is still a difference."

"This is the case in our area. If you go to first-tier cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, the fruits, vegetables, chickens, ducks and goose eggs raised by farmers are all things that everyone is fighting for, and the prices are not cheap. But many people like these products raised in the countryside. Not only do they taste very good, but they also make people feel safe and at ease when eating them."

"Times are changing. Whether it's the past or now, everyone is pursuing a high-quality life. Especially those with good family conditions, they like this kind of thing very much. They don't mind the price, but they are afraid of not being able to buy good things."

"Everyone knows that eggs from free-range chickens, ducks and geese taste good, but they can't be sold at a good price. Who is willing to sell these poultry that they raise at a loss?"

"Sometimes, it's the same as when low grain prices hurt farmers. Ordinary people don't have the resources, prices can't go up, and they can only keep the money in their hands."

Day after day, year after year, I lost confidence.

“I don’t want to think about this anymore”

"I think too much. That is something I cannot change. Moreover, as a cultivator, it would be a big taboo to interfere with too many unnecessary causes and effects."

"It's not like there aren't smart people in this world, and it's not like there aren't people who want to change this, but..."

"hehe"

"There are too many traitors in this world, and what's more is the indifference of human nature."

"What impressed me most was Huang Bo's answer when he was asked a tricky question as the host at a certain awards ceremony": When you are good, there are good people around you; when you are unknown, the people around you are indifferent and don't care.

"Take the example of fraud: too many kindhearted people have paid a heavy price and lost their lives because they offered a helping hand out of kindness. Moreover, it is difficult to collect evidence for such cases. Even if there is evidence, some people just like to pester, and there are many rural and urban residents among them."

"Anyway, it all comes down to it! If there is profit in any industry, people will be more motivated to do it. If there is no way, it will be even more difficult."

"Of course, what kind of person do you want to be? That is everyone's own choice. Whether it is voluntary or forced, you will bear all the consequences in the end."

"Alas, it's still all these messes. I think too much. There are many kinds of people in the world. Just take care of yourself."

"I came back to my senses and heard my parents and the others saying that the dumplings this year were getting more and more delicious and they ate so much that they were full."

"I touched my stomach quietly. Fortunately, although I eat a lot, I don't gain weight. Now I am only about 70% full. Unlike my parents, they sit on the chairs after eating and drinking, with satisfied expressions on their faces. Maybe they are still savoring the taste of the dumplings they just ate."
