Zhengyangmen: Don’t date Su Meng

The courtyard where Han Chunming lives now is a large compound with more than a dozen families living in it. Although there are constant minor frictions, everyone gets along relatively harmoniously.

His house is in the middle courtyard, and the two famous families in the backyard are naturally the Cheng family and the Su family.

The Cheng family is naturally Cheng Jianjun's family. His father works in the street and has some connections, so his family is well off. The Su family is a scholarly family. Su Meng is the only daughter in the family. Under the training of her two teacher parents, her grades are much better than Han Chunming and others.

Han Chunming and Cheng Jianjun had both gone to Xiaoqinghe to work in the countryside, and had just returned this month. They were both trying to find jobs, but Su Meng looked down on ordinary jobs and didn't want to be a worker. Now the Su couple were using their connections to get her into the Children's Palace, which was a decent job.

Yes, I have to introduce the Han family. It’s a big family.

Han's mother is a great mother. She raised five children alone after her husband passed away. Now that the children have grown up, it is time for her to enjoy her life. However, she is worried about Han Chunming's work all day long.

Han Chunming's elder brother Han Chunsong, as his name suggests, is usually dignified and honest. The best interpretation of him is that an elder brother is like a father.

The second brother, Han Chunsheng, is a relatively smooth person and has a good relationship with him.

The eldest sister, Han Chunxue, is a typical housewife. She takes charge of the household after marriage. Her personality is not very good. She loves her younger brother, but is more profit-driven.

The second sister, Han Chunyan, is the epitome of a gentle woman. She is very kind to Han Chunming. Not only does she lend him money, she also helps him deceive his family. They are close friends.

In addition to the Han family, Han Chunming has many friends because he values ​​​​loyalty and is willing to spend money. I will not introduce them one by one here, and will introduce them to you when I meet them later.

He was ready to go home, but he couldn't get up. Not only were his feet numb, but his legs were also cramping.

After stomping hard on the ground several times, he finally subdued his disobedient feet. Han Chunming looked at the map on the screen, compared it with the surrounding buildings, and finally determined his location.

It is not far from the street office and not far from home.

Following the map, Han Chunming quickly found the courtyard where he lived, and then saw a girl walking out of the courtyard. She was wearing a plaid jacket with a white base and black and red stripes, two big braids, and blue overalls. Her two big braids swung back and forth as she walked.

As Han Chunming had watched "Under the Gate of Zhengyang" no less than five times, he immediately confirmed that this was Su Meng.

The people in this world look different from those in TV dramas!

Of course, the memory transmitted to him by the system also includes everyone's appearance, but doesn't this make it seem like he has watched TV many times and has a photographic memory, hehe, hehe.

This is called experience!

"Han Chunming, where did you go this afternoon? I went to your house to look for you, but why were you not at home?" Su Meng asked after seeing Han Chunming.

Han Chunming smiled and said:

"What else can I do? I'm still at home eating dry meals. If I don't go out to find a job, my family won't be able to make ends meet. There's nothing I can do. Tao Yuanming would not bow down for a few grains of rice, but I don't have that kind of integrity. I have to go and beg for mercy, and I have to go too."

Su Meng covered her mouth and laughed out loud.

"You, you still talk so funny, but you are really good at Chinese. You can easily tell an allusion, which is much better than me."

Oh, mutual business praise, this Han Chunming is good at!

"Haha, you are good at math, physics and chemistry. I can't catch up with you. My knowledge is just not up to par. I can't compare with you."

Han Chunming didn't have any thoughts about Su Meng now, and he wasn't as angry as he was when he watched the TV drama, pointing at the TV screen and cursing - all show and no substance.

The system has said that this is also a real world and everyone is an independent individual. Although it is a film and television world, it does not mean that the people in it are the same as they are shown on TV!

Well, this is worth studying!

But Han Chunming would not look at people with tinted glasses. Take Su Meng for example. He now treated her as a classmate. If her personality was really unbearable to Han Chunming, the worst that could happen was that he would part ways with her.

Although he is Han Chunming, he is not entirely Han Chunming.

TV dramas are just TV dramas after all, but this is reality, a world full of unknowns yet somewhat familiar!

Su Meng was very satisfied with Han Chunming's words and said with a smile: "Han Chunming, how is your job search going?"

"I haven't heard from you since I came back from the street office after registering. I plan to find time to go to the street office to ask again. But I have asked Cheng Jianjun for help. His father has some connections and should be able to help me arrange a job." Han Chunming shook his head.

"Even though that's the case, you still have to be more diligent and go to the street office more often. It would be best if you can use some connections. All of you educated youth have started to return to the city. More and more people will come back in the future, but there will be only so much work. It will be more difficult in the future, so you have to pay more attention." Su Meng reads the newspaper all day and is very familiar with the current situation. He is also worried that Han Chunming will not be able to find a job.

"Okay, I'll go to the street and ask tomorrow."

Han Chunming knew the current situation well. He was considered the second batch of educated youth returning to the city. There was already a batch before him, and some of them didn't even have a job, let alone the second batch of educated youth. Most of them were just eating dry meals at home.

He didn't really want to go to work, but he was penniless and he wouldn't get any money if he didn't work!

Other protagonists all get the [Newbie Gift Pack] at the beginning and take off directly. Money is a small matter. They have storage space, sign-in system, and the most terrifying planting/breeding space, which allows them to control the power of time. One day outside is equivalent to one year or more in this space. If you put a piglet in, it will become a 500-pound fat pig tomorrow. The space will slaughter it for you attentively, and after everything is processed, there will be an endless supply of resources, which will help the host become a second-hand dealer.

Hehe, it makes me happy just thinking about it!

But who knew that he only had one [Maintenance System], and he had to spend money to repair it. This added layers of shackles to his already empty pockets, really leaving him no way to survive.

Forget it, at least the system gave him a free resurrection, and he didn’t have to watch a 30-second commercial, otherwise he would have died long ago.

"That's good. I'll go first." Su Meng replied and walked out sideways. Han Chunming didn't think much and stepped into the courtyard.

"Chunming, what have you been doing outside?" Walking into the courtyard, there are two rooms on the left side. An old man in a vest was rocking on a recliner and fanning himself. When he saw Han Chunming, he showed his yellow teeth and asked.

This is Uncle Guo, an old man from Beijing who has a pension, plays chess in the alleys all day long, and gossips about others behind their backs.

"Uncle Guo, I went to the street office to ask about work matters this afternoon, and I just came back." Han Chunming gave a standard fake smile.

"Oh." Uncle Guo straightened up and asked, "How is it? Any news?"

Han Chunming shook his head and said helplessly:

"I've only been back for a short time, how can it be so fast? Everyone is waiting."

Grandpa Guo nodded and lay down again, but he was still mumbling: "Chunming, you have to find a job quickly. You can't stay at home and eat for free. It's not easy for your mother to raise you brothers and sisters. You have to be more considerate..."

Don't listen, don't listen, the bastard chants sutras.

He slid away from Grandpa Guo, who snorted coldly, "Humph, you're still talking about looking for a job? I think you're just hanging out with those bad friends. You're a hopeless case. You'll definitely be a street urchin or an alley urchin in the future."

Han Chunming had no idea that he would be evaluated like this after he left. He has now arrived at his doorstep.

A slightly fat middle-aged woman was sitting on the steps at the door picking beans. She pinched off one end of the bean and then pulled off a whole vein along the edge. She changed direction and did it again, and the bean was ready.

After seeing Han Chunming, the woman greeted:

"Xiao Wuzi, you're back. Come and tell me what the street said. I'm so worried."

Han Chunming was stunned for a moment before realizing that the other party was calling him.

He is the youngest in the family, ranking fifth, so his family members call him Xiaowuzi.

【From now on, she is my mother. 】

Han Chunming didn't think much while his thoughts were flying. He went straight forward and sat on the steps. He picked up a bean and said while helping:

"It's not that easy. There are so many people on the street, and there was only one job for each person. Now there are too many people, and the jobs are almost full. They are worried. And I heard that now, let alone street sweeping jobs, even toilet sweeping jobs are fought over by two or three people.

I don’t want to give them gifts, so why would they arrange for me to do that?”

Speaking of this, Han's mother became furious. She had said before that if Han Chunming could be assigned a job, the family would grit their teeth and give him some money to take care of it. But Han Chunming was stubborn and refused to go no matter what, and also refused to let his family go.

"You, you, spend some money to arrange a job now, and you can earn the money back if you start working earlier. If you don't arrange it now, the good jobs will be taken away, and you may not be assigned a job until the end. By then, it will be useless even if you want to arrange it."

Han Chunming smiled at Han's mother and said in a relaxed tone:

"You know, Xiao Wuzi, I just can't stand their faces. They abuse their power for personal gain, discriminate against others in private, and think that the gifts given by others are not presentable.

I would rather stay at home all my life than give gifts to such people."

"My ancestors." Han's mother said helplessly: "You have been staying at home all your life. What do you eat? Who will support you?"

After looking ahead and making sure no one was coming in, Mother Han whispered:

"You've been staying at home for free these past few days, and your sister-in-law is a little unhappy. She comes home every day, but you don't understand what she means. And your eldest sister and your second brother, even if they don't say anything, I know in my heart that it's okay for a short time, but if it lasts for a long time, they will have opinions.

You figure it out on your own. OK, I don't need your help. Go back to your room."

The beans in Han Chunming's hand were snatched away by Han's mother, so he had to shake off the dirt on his butt and slowly walked into the house.

The Han family has three rooms and a kitchen.

The room on the left is now occupied by my second sister Han Chunyu. The layout and decoration are more feminine, with a single bed and some wardrobes.

The room in the middle is the living room, with a large table. The Han family usually eats here. There are many tables and cabinets, as well as a bed. Han's mother sleeps here at night, so the space is fully utilized.

On the right is the house of Han Chunming and his second brother Han Chunshan.

Pushing the door open, I saw a table under the window with a layer of glass on top. Below it were some award certificates and newspapers. On the side was a combination of a bookshelf and a cabinet, which was filled with books. At the back was a double bed. To be honest, it was quite simple.

By the way, I must mention that there are also portraits of great men and pictures of other major events hanging in the room. For example, the picture of the Tiananmen Flag-Raising Ceremony in his room was obviously cut out from a newspaper and then framed.

He viewed these things with an attitude of exploration and appreciation, and even felt a little secretly delighted.

It’s like finding hidden Easter eggs while playing a game, and your heart is filled with joy.

Sitting at the table, Han Chunming picked up a book at random - "*** Essays". He was not familiar with the name of the person, so he opened it and took a casual look. It was about the life of a man in the Ming Dynasty. He put the book back and took another one, this time it was a history book.

Today's history books are very different from those of later generations. At least the things described in them are somewhat unfamiliar to him.

I don’t know if it was forgotten or revised, I guess it’s the latter!

By the way, he flipped through a few more books and was sure that there was a reason why Han Chunming in the TV series was so successful in the antique circle. The books here are almost all history books, and they are all very eccentric!

It cannot be said to be eccentric. To be precise, it should be comprehensive, covering almost all dynasties, from the Pre-Qin Dynasty to the last feudal dynasty - the Qing Dynasty; many characters, from emperors and generals to anecdotes of the martial arts world; all categories, from bronze ware to modern imitations.

Well, it seems to be exaggerated a lot, but Han Chunming did see some of it in the book, so he said that.

But the question that followed hits my soul directly - why don’t I have any memory of studying!

The treasure mountain is right before his eyes and within his reach, but he must also learn a specific code, otherwise he will only have the treasure mountain but no way to get it.

Could it be... that he still needs to study after traveling through time?

numb!

He had thrown all his books away after he started working, but now he is told to continue studying. He gets a headache just thinking about it.

But Han Chunming knew clearly that he was penniless now. If he wanted to quickly accumulate original capital in the next few years, antiques would be a shortcut. Moreover, if he kept them in his hands for a long time, he would be able to make a living.

Of course, a house can do this, but it won’t appreciate as fast as an antique.

Han Chunming has not yet thought about whether he should go into business. It is still early and he can consider it slowly, but accumulating initial capital can be put on the agenda, otherwise it will be too late by that time.

[It seems I still need to pick up the book. ]

Finally he decided that he should start studying!

Today, without delay.

"Chunming, help mom get a bottle of soy sauce." Han's mother's voice came.

"Hey, good."

The book in Han Chunming's hand drew a graceful arc and fell on the table. It only took him two seconds to appear in front of Han's mother and stretched out his hand.

Han's mother had no choice but to take money out of her pocket and put it in his hand. He then walked out with the soy sauce bottle.

[Alas, another day of being interrupted by important matters. Or tomorrow... No, let's watch it in the evening. It's still early.]

Comforting himself in his heart, Han Chunming whistled as he walked out of the courtyard.
