Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

It was a rare thing for Jia Zhang to come back, but no one dared to ask her about her experiences over the years.

Although the storm is coming to an end, everyone is still frightened and dares not have any contact with these released prisoners, not to mention that they can't stand the smell on Jia Zhang.

Jia Zhang's luck was pretty good, as it happened to be the last two years of the storm. During this period, the situation had improved a lot and the country had gradually returned to normal.

The chaos has gradually subsided, the young players have also been restricted, and overall things have returned to the way they were before 1965. It’s just that some policies from these years have not yet been revised, but it’s only a matter of time.

It is true that Jia Zhang is lucky. If she had come back a few years earlier, she would have enjoyed the same treatment as Sha Zhu.

Look at Sha Zhu now. He looks like a little old man, and he is on close terms with his father He Daqing, and no one doubts him.

Qin Huairu was numb. Her mother-in-law came back, although her personality had changed drastically. The sarcastic Jia Zhang was gone, and she became an old woman who apologized at the slightest provocation. This was obviously a conditioned reflex formed over the years.

Qin Huairu didn’t know what Jia Zhang had gone through, but she guessed it wasn’t good. After all, she had heard about some of the things that happened in labor reform.

She didn't think much of anything about her mother-in-law coming back, but the toilet-like smell in the house made Qin Huairu feel hopeless. She even wondered if Jia Zhang hadn't taken a bath in all these years.

In the days since Jia Zhang came back, Qin Huairu not only gave her all the bath tickets in the house, but also exchanged some with others. As a result, she still couldn't completely get rid of the problem. Qin Huairu felt a little worried.

When the street office came to register, Jia Zhang's cowardly look made many people wonder if Jia Zhang was possessed by a ghost.

The main reason was that he was too cowardly. He almost hid under the table and kept saying, "Don't hit me, I know I was wrong," leaving the onlookers looking at each other in bewilderment.

The street office is not surprised by this. Most people who have returned from labor reform are almost like this.

There are no human rights nowadays. It is normal to be beaten during labor reform. Moreover, in recent years, prisoners are not treated as human beings at all.

The news of Jia Zhang's return was only talked about for a few days before the topic died down.

Chen Xu is busy transforming the space. The space is getting bigger and bigger, and the previous layout needs to be changed again.

The original appearance of having water on one side and land on the other side has now changed to having a continent in the middle and water around it, with several rivers running through the middle, dividing the space into four continents, with a high mountain in the middle that towers into the clouds.

Chen Xu jokingly named the four continents Dongsheng Shenzhou, Xiniu Hezhou, Nanzhanbuzhou and Beijuluzhou.

As for the mountain range in the middle, it should naturally be called Buzhou Mountains.

This world of mine is probably a low-profile, castrated, and incomplete version of the primitive continent. Apart from four continents and a mountain range, there is nothing similar about it.

Another major problem is the scarcity of species. Chen Xu has captured many species and put them into the space over the years, but it is obviously a drop in the bucket. If things go wrong, there is a risk of imbalance in the ecological chain.

Chen Xu spent a lot of effort to maintain the ecological chain of his own world, but in the end he had to make some adjustments occasionally.

Chen Xu could only sigh that it was not so easy to be a creator, especially a half-baked creator like him.

As for letting the world evolve on its own, Chen Xu had not even thought about it for the time being. He could not wait that long.

As a thorough Chinese, Chen Xu can't bear to watch the newly expanded world become desolate.

In the past few years, he has gathered all kinds of species in Yanshan, and with the addition of those he has cultivated himself, the forests in the world are now denser and more vast than those in Yanshan.

But compared to the added advantages of plants, animals are much more disappointing.

There was too much food of all kinds. Small animals like rabbits and pheasants were almost grown into pigs. They could not eat all of them. Moreover, because there were too few predators, they were too lazy to move.

Chen Xu held his forehead and simply gave up on the animals on land, letting them develop on their own and focusing on developing aquatic products. The effect was remarkable.

Chen Xu looked at the koi carp that now weighed over 100 kilograms with a frown on his face.

He knew that carp could grow very large, but he had never seen one weighing more than 100 kilograms.

This stupid fish still has no idea how big it is. When it sees Chen Xu, it swims over and wants to be hugged and lifted up high. Only Chen Xu, a guy who is much bigger than a normal person, can toss it around for fun.

Chen Xu has already begun to think about whether to develop the ocean. Compared with freshwater creatures, the creatures in the ocean are more diverse.

But how to deal with the seawater is a problem. Collect it? Forget it.

The amount of seawater he wanted was not just a little bit, and it would never be enough no matter how long he tried to collect it.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to let the space extract the world's energy and directly configure the seawater.

However, the various sodium chlorides, potassium chlorides, calcium chlorides, magnesium chlorides, magnesium sulfates, sodium bicarbonates, etc. required gave Chen Xu a headache. He had learned a lot now, but there was no place to learn a lot of knowledge even if he wanted to.

Now Chen Xu misses the 21st century very much, when he could find a lot of information with just his mobile phone.

Little Yueliang has grown up, just like Lin Chan back then, except that he doesn't like beating small animals as much.

Because he inherited some of Chen Xu's authority, Xiaoyueliang is like an elf in Chen Xu's world. When he walks around in the forest, a bunch of small animals will follow him, and these small animals, which originally belonged to different levels of the food chain, can coexist peacefully.

Chen Xu began to calculate how long it would take to collect the Earth at the current rate of space expansion. The final conclusion was that it would take about a few decades, which was based on the slowest possible process.

A smile appeared on Chen Xu's lips, and it seemed that he was really not far away from the owner of the Earth.

It is also because of this that Chen Xu's style of doing things has changed greatly, and he has become almost indifferent to the affairs of the outside world.

They even directly divided up the rights of the steel mill, and usually just looked at the financial statements and held a meeting, and that was it.

The factory leaders were not very happy. It was a good thing that the factory director was giving up power, but everyone knew that Chen Xu was planning to leave. If Chen Xu really left, a new factory director would definitely be parachuted in.

By then, a new emperor will appoint new ministers, and who knows what the next factory director will be.

But Chen Xu had obviously made up his mind, and the other leaders of the steel mill could do nothing about it.

Chen Xu had no intention of getting involved in the steel rolling mill. He knew that these factory directors would eventually be merged into the General Steel Company. In fact, there was nothing wrong with that. Domestic companies would eventually have to compete with foreign ones.

How to coordinate such a loose group of people is a problem.

In the following decades, countless state-owned enterprises, large and small, went bankrupt. A steel mill would not make a difference. Besides, Chen Xu had never paid attention to this from the beginning to the end.

The position at the steel mill now seemed to him to be a complete burden.

That is to say, when he first came here, he had to do it in order to make money to support his family, and also to successfully survive the storm. Now that these two points have been accomplished, the steel mill is naturally of little use to Chen Xu.
