Game World: Am I a toy of the system?

After last night and this morning, everyone young and old in Yulong Village knew that Bai Meng had returned home and his appearance had changed a lot.

So after eating and finishing work at home, I came over to watch the fun.

As Bai Meng walked out of the house, his body froze, and he saw more than a dozen middle-aged women standing in the yard, all looking at him.

"Oh my, is this really Meng Meng? If we were outside, I wouldn't recognize her!"

"I saw it during Chinese New Year and it wasn't this tall yet. How come it's growing so fast?"

"He looks more energetic than before, and doesn't look like a kid from the village at all!"

The aunties and sisters were instantly excited and gathered together to chat animatedly, but that pair of eyes kept staring at Bai Meng, making him feel uncomfortable.

"Mom, you called me?" Bai Meng walked up to Kong Juan and asked.

Kong Juan looked at her son happily, pulled his arm, and said, "Mengmeng, move the table out of the kitchen and get a few stools."

Then he whispered, "Put some melon seeds and peanuts on the fruit plate. No need for anything else. Put more spiced food. Eating too much of this stuff makes you thirsty."

Bai Meng wanted to laugh, but he held it back and obediently went back to the room to get ready.

Villagers have their own set of rules for dealing with people. The biggest difference between them and city people is that villagers meet each other every day. Unless they are the kind of people they never interact with, they will basically be entertained when they come to their homes.

The weather was nice today, with a few white clouds floating in the sky. Bai Meng set up the table under the jujube tree, put a fruit plate on it, and took a few plastic stools from the house.

Then he looked around the house and found that there were no disposable cups at home. He went out to say hello to Kong Juan and went to the small shop to buy a cup.

The middle-aged women, who were already unscrupulous, became even more lively after Bai Meng left. They would tell a few dirty jokes from time to time, filling the yard with laughter.

Because it was summer vacation, many children were running around in the village, the older ones leading the younger ones, and the younger ones following the older ones. In the distance, there were people shouting loudly at their grandchildren, not letting them go to the water to play.

Although the environment in the village is very comfortable, it is summer after all. Walking under the sun, you will sweat in a short while.

We came to the only small shop in the village. The decoration was similar to that of the convenience stores in the city, but because it was converted from a private bungalow, the area was relatively limited.

The shopkeeper was a girl who was sitting behind the counter reading a book. When she saw Bai Meng come in, she was stunned for a moment, then shouted with a look of surprise: "Brother Bai! When did you come back?"

"You came back last night. Didn't you go to high school in another city?" Bai Meng asked puzzledly.

"I came back for the summer vacation. I just came back yesterday, but it was in the morning."

Wen Juan's eyes seemed to have turned into two little hearts, and she asked embarrassedly, "Brother Bai, what happened to you? Why did you suddenly become like this?"

"Kid, what have I become?" Bai Meng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "By the way, do you have disposable cups? Paper cups or plastic cups are fine."

"Yes, I'll get it for you!" Wen Juan quickly put down the book, walked quickly from behind the counter, and went deeper into the shop.

Bai Meng stood in front of the counter waiting. Seeing a small plastic fan on the table, he picked it up and fanned himself. He also unbuttoned the two buttons on his collar, revealing a platinum necklace with a black and gold ring hanging on it. The word "dream" was engraved on the inside of the ring.

Wen Juan came back after a while, "Brother Bai, we only have paper cups, do you think it's ok?"

"Okay, Xiaojuan, is the tricycle in the yard?" Bai Meng asked.

"Yes, do you want to use it?" Wen Juan stared at Bai Meng's exposed collarbone, swallowed her saliva, and her face suddenly turned red.

"That's good. I'll move two boxes of beer and two boxes of drinks and return them when I'm done." Bai Meng took out his cell phone. "How much is it? Calculate it."

After paying the bill, Bai Meng helped to look after the store while Wen Juan went to the yard to get the bike out.

Then he went back to the store, took out a bottle of Coke from the refrigerator, unscrewed it and handed it to Bai Meng, "Brother Bai, it's quite hot today. Drink it before you leave. It's my treat."

Bai Meng took the Coke and said with a smile, "Then I won't be polite."

Wenjuan walked back to the counter with a red face. She had no intention of reading anymore and kept staring at Bai Meng.

Noticing the necklace and ring on his neck and the life bone on his wrist, I felt that Bai Meng had changed. He became more fashionable and more handsome than before.

Wen Juan: "Brother Bai, are you in Tiancheng?"

"Yes, what about you, where do you go to school?" Bai Meng put down the small fan and took a big sip of Coke.

"Yingcheng, you..."

"Yingcheng?" Bai Meng looked at her.

Wen Juan nodded: "Well, what's wrong?"

Bai Meng smiled and said, "It's okay. Yingcheng is pretty good. It's an ancient city that's thousands of years old. I went there once last month."

"You went to Yingcheng last month?" Wen Juan asked in disbelief.

"Well, my family has relatives in Yingcheng, so I went there to visit them. I stayed there for a day and then left."

Bai Meng explained briefly, then drank the Coke in the bottle in one gulp and put the bottle down. "Thank you for the Coke. I'll take the things back first and we'll talk later."

I was just wondering if Bai Meng's family had any relatives in Yingcheng. I had never heard of them before. Then I heard him say he was leaving, so I quickly stood up and said, "Brother Bai, I'll help you."

"I can do it myself." Bai Meng first moved two boxes of beer onto the tricycle, and then moved a box of Coke and a box of pineapple beer.

Taking the key and disposable paper cup from Wen Juan, Bai Meng waved his hand: "See you later."

Standing at the door, Wenjuan watched Bai Meng go away until she could no longer see him. Then she hurried back to the store, picked up her cell phone and called her mother, asking her to come back to check on the store.

When Bai Meng returned home, he saw a black MPV parked at the door. The yard, which was noisy when he left, was now quiet.

Because the door was blocked by cars, Bai Meng could only park the tricycle on the side of the road, then picked up two boxes of drinks and strode towards his home.

When I walked into the yard, the aunties and sisters who were chatting just now were still there, and Kong Juan was standing stiffly in front of an old man.

Bai Meng had seen this old man last night. He was here to pick up the girl. He should be a housekeeper or something like that.

Seeing Bai Meng coming back, Kong Juan hurriedly called out, "Meng Meng, this old man is looking for you."

"Oh." Bai Meng glanced at the old woman and ignored her, walking into the house with the drink in his arms, "Mom, I'll put my things down first."

"Well, hurry up." Kong Juan had only seen old people dressed like this on TV. Having always lived in the village, she was very panicked and didn't know how to deal with it.

Bai Meng put the drink next to the refrigerator, came out of the house, and continued to walk outside. When he passed by the old man, he asked, "Let's talk outside?"

The old man raised his head slightly with pride, took out a gold-stamped post from his arms, and handed it to Bai Meng with one hand, "The young lady asked me to give it to you."

The slightly tense atmosphere made the women in the yard dare not breathe, and Kong Juan was even more worried about her son.

Bai Meng didn't even look at it, strode out of the yard, put the paper cup on the beer box, then picked up two boxes of beer and walked towards the yard.

When he returned to the yard, the old man had already handed the post to his mother.

Bai Meng was furious, his eyes were extremely cold, "Isn't it for me?"

The old man turned around, put his hands behind his back and walked to Bai Meng, turned his head and smiled disdainfully: "We are all lowly people, it doesn't matter who you leave it to. Remember to come on time tomorrow, don't let the lady wait for you."

Bai Meng had long been accustomed to this kind of thing. After all, there were always people who felt they were superior, especially in a big city like Tiancheng, where high-ranking officials were numerous.

Even though they are all ordinary people, many people look down on delivery people, even though they are all earning clean money with their own hands.

But for Bai Meng, family is the most important thing in his heart and is his Achilles' heel.

He didn't want these messy things to happen in his home, and that was what he could not tolerate the most.

In Bai Meng's eyes, this old man who doesn't know the rules is already a dead man!

Kong Juan saw that her son's face was not right, so she hurried forward and grabbed his arm, "Mengmeng, I'm here to thank you."

Bai Meng exhaled a breath of foul air, turned his head away from the old man, and smiled at Kong Juan, "Yes, I saw them yesterday. They were the family of the girl who fell into the water last night."

"I'll go back to the house and put the beer down."

"Okay, go quickly. By the way, this is for you." Kong Juan put the gold-stamped post on the wine box and told Bai Meng to go back to the house quickly, fearing that he would do something irrational.

Bai Meng had regained his composure by now and went into the house carrying the wine box.
