Chapter 242: Mixing with the Society with Xuedi
The setting sun, carrying the last ray of light, disappeared into the horizon. In the night, the whole village was as silent as death. Only the small shabby house in the deepest part of the village was still lit.
In the dilapidated little tile-roofed house, there was only a scarred table, a plate of pickled radish, two bowls of thick rice porridge, and two elderly people who were already in their sixties.
"Eat quickly, old man! It will get cold if you don't eat it now!"
The old man's temples were already gray, and he slowly moved his hunched body to the table and sat down as if with great effort, his eyes as turbid as a pool of stagnant water.
The dinner table was extremely silent, because the rule of the Jiang family was not to talk while eating or sleeping.
After a while of clanging, Jiang's father slowly put down his bowl and chopsticks. He had been a conservative person all his life, and he didn't know how many times he had broken the rules of the Jiang family.
"Xiang, when will you be back tomorrow?"
At the other end of the table, the woman called Xiang stopped moving.
"It's almost there. I heard that Ming'er made a lot of money in the city. I talked to him on the phone yesterday." The woman tried her best to suppress the sob in her throat and spoke patiently.
"Really? I also want to call Ming'er and tell him that we have enough food and clothing at home, so don't work so hard! If you don't come back to see me, I will miss him!"
"Yes, I will!" The woman tried hard to hold back the tears that kept welling up in her eyes. She knew she couldn't collapse. If she collapsed, this family would be over.
The home she missed so much might never be found again!
"But! I really miss him! Can you ask him to come back soon?"
Amidst the dull gaze, a drop of turbid tear slid down from the corners of the man's dark-spotted eyes, and his withered hands could no longer hold back their trembling.
At this moment Jiang Siming, who had been eavesdropping outside the house, was already crying. It was the first time that Jiang Siming saw his father so weak, and the first time he felt his heart ached to the point of despair.
The smart and capable father and the virtuous and gentle mother in his memory have now become like this.
Jiang Siming was scared. He had never been scared before. Even when facing countless assassins, Jiang Siming, who had never shown a trace of fear, was scared for the first time!
Tears wet the ground where Jiang Siming was standing, but this coward did not dare to push the door open.
"Why don't you push the door open and go in?" It was the first time that Xue Di saw Jiang Siming in such a posture. She had never imagined that this man would have such a weak side.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Jiang Siming murmured over and over again. He couldn't go in because he was no longer the same person he was before.
His appearance had already changed beyond all recognition. Jiang Siming was afraid that his sudden appearance would backfire and push his parents completely into the abyss!
Sitting on the ground and covering his face with tears, Jiang Siming forgot about Douluo Continent and that he was the strongest man in the world!
At this moment, Jiang Siming is nothing, he is just a failed son! A useless waste!
I don't know when Jiang Siming fell asleep. Maybe it was because he went home? It was the first time that Jiang Siming cried and fell asleep without any defense.
When the sun rose again from the horizon, lying on a tall haystack was Jiang Siming.
There was also a sweet girl next to him, staring at Jiang Siming who was sleeping.
"Jiang Siming, it turns out you also have such an embarrassing side!" Xue Di looked at Jiang Siming's mature, steady and handsome profile as he slept soundly, and for some reason she felt a little distressed.
"Let's go! I will make up for the mistakes I made!"
Jiang Siming’s sudden voice startled Xue Di, and she tilted her head in panic.
"Aren't you going to meet your parents?"
Jiang Siming sighed deeply and said slowly, "They are both old and can't stand the ups and downs! We have to take it step by step!"
The main reason why Jiang Siming did not plan to recognize his father immediately was that his appearance had changed drastically and he could not prove his identity at all. It might even make his parents feel that he had been kidnapped and someone was impersonating their son.
"Then where should we go? I am so unfamiliar with this world. If I had tried my best to overcome the heavenly calamity, maybe I wouldn't be in this situation now!" Xue Di said with a rare smile, but it was an extremely helpless smile, and a little self-mockery.
Jiang Siming was also somewhat helpless about Xue Di's current situation. There were no gods in this world, and Xue Di's wish to achieve eternal life was probably just a dream.
"You don't have to be so disappointed. I will go back to Douluo Continent sooner or later! After all, there are still many things I can't let go of there! I said I would help you become a god, and I will definitely do it!" Jiang Siming said with a firm look in his eyes.
In fact, Jiang Siming is quite anxious now. The system has issued a compensatory task. If he can't go back at all, then he will be really finished!
"System, is the time flow rate the same in the Main World and Douluo Continent?"
This is what Jiang Siming is most concerned about now. Otherwise, once he returns, everything will have changed dramatically. Jiang Siming cannot stand such ups and downs.
"Ding, due to the particularity of the laws of the main world! There is a time entanglement effect. Taking the host as the measurement standard, the opposite flow rate ratio is executed. The current flow rate ratio is 100 to 1."
"So, my 100 days in the main world of Douluo Continent is equivalent to one day. This is still acceptable!" Jiang Siming thought to himself.
Judging from the system's release of the make-up mission, whether my mission is successful will definitely affect the system. Since the system has not yet canceled the mission or encountered any abnormalities, I will definitely have hope of returning.
"Let's go! I'll take you to experience life in this world. Maybe your perception will change, but you have to learn to accept it."
Xue Di was a little surprised by Jiang Siming's inexplicable words and had a bad feeling in her heart.
Jiang Siming’s most important thing now is to get money first in this materialistic society.
Having money may not be everything, but having no money is definitely impossible.
With Jiang Siming's current abilities, making money should be no problem.
Looking at the shabby little house in the distance, Jiang Siming's eyes were full of determination. He wanted to go home with pride.
In an old house in the suburbs of Jiangcheng.
"Oh my god, it looks like this place has been completely abandoned." Jiang Siming couldn't help but wave away the dust in the sky.
This house was originally a moved and abandoned house. Poor Jiang Siming was a poor guy at the time. He had to send 1000 yuan back home out of his monthly salary of 500 yuan. The remaining yuan was barely enough for him to take care of himself, let alone rent a house.
I found this abandoned house in the suburbs thanks to a friend's introduction. It can only be considered to be barely surviving.
"Is this where you used to live?" Xue Di couldn't help but frown. Although he used to live in a snow cave in the freezing cold, it was indeed much better than this place where even the air was polluted.
"Just make do with it for now. This is the only place we can live for now!" Jiang Siming spread his hands helplessly.
Seeing the only bed, a table, a pot and a bucket of instant noodles that he hadn't finished eating in the room, Jiang Siming felt a lot of emotions.
Maybe no one would care even if Jiang Siming died here!
"Have you ever worked?" Jiang Siming looked at the delicate Xue Di with some teasing.
"What is working?" Xue Di was a little confused. She didn't know anything after coming out to practice.
"It's okay, I'll take you to society from now on!"
