Time Travel: Conditional Wealth
Chapter 157 Indulgence is the best protection
Mr. He's tolerance towards the four people did not change the opinions of the gossipers in the village about them much.
He Xi doesn't like to socialize, but people in the village meet each other every day. Greeting each other means to start a conversation, and not greeting each other is considered impolite. Every day when He Xi returns to the village to retire, he struggles with how to talk and greet other people when he meets them when he goes out, or what time to go out so as not to meet other people.
He Xi was unwilling to talk or say hello to anyone he met.
One reason is that she is not familiar with the people in the village. Although she has inherited the memories of the original owner, they do not have any goodwill towards the original owner, and sometimes even take advantage of the original owner who was cursed in the past.
You have to waste your energy with strangers and try your best to be polite and well-mannered, but they always point fingers and talk behind your back, even if you have just helped them, they will still talk about you.
The second reason is due to He Xi’s personality.
She was a happy child before she traveled through time, until her mother ran away from home and she became a child from a single-parent family. Later, she developed a skin disease and gradually became disgusted with her ugly appearance. She was unwilling to communicate with her family, and the result of communication was often more blame than concern.
She is not a person but is constantly developing in that direction. Perhaps isolating herself is the best protection. No one can see her ugly skin under the injuries when she wears long clothes and long pants. If she does not communicate with others, she cannot maintain a false face.
Playing games became a way for her to relieve her inner dissatisfaction. She only played construction games, closed herself off in her own world and built a home of her own, where she lived alone, raised chickens, ducks, geese and dogs, and her daily routine was not controlled by external forces.
The moon hung above the treetops before the four began to clean up the mess on the floor. No one would leave unless He Xi said she had had enough fun. In their eyes, He Xi was always the child who needed the most care, and his temperament was also like that of a child.
That's right. One of He Xi's life wishes is to become rich in the future and spoil himself like a child.
The reservoir is at the top and highest point on the south side of the entire village. It requires a long uphill road to reach. When the four of them had packed up and were walking slowly downhill, they saw a flashlight that flickered in the distance on the mountain road.
Just as the four of them were about to collide with the flashlight's beam, He's father's deep and helpless voice came: "You still remember to go home? Didn't the mosquitoes eat you up? Do you know what time it is?"
"Remember the old father who stayed behind? I was worried about you. Go faster."
There is no need to be afraid of mosquitoes. There are plenty of mosquito coils. A circle of mosquito coils are lit around the picnic mat for the four people, and there is also a fully charged solar fan. No mosquito would dare to approach.
The biggest consequence of indulgence is that there are too many homeworks to be done. Lu Jinan stood expressionlessly beside He Xi and planned her study tasks for the morning, but he was still worried: "He Xi, I don't hit women, but I think you should be a special case."
He Xi looked at him with disbelief: "You actually committed domestic violence? Do uncle and aunt know? I think grandpa and grandma don't know either. I think it's necessary to inform them."
"The Lu family's genes have mutated in you, changing from pampering to beating. This is a serious matter and should be recorded in the family history."
Lu Jinan straightened his back and looked at her coldly: "He Xi, I'm not kidding you, stop making jokes, studying is responsible for our future, and even more so for yourself. She's dead and you can't go back, do you know what you're wasting your time on?"
What are you wasting your time on? What else is there besides time? It would be great if math wasn’t included in the college entrance exam. How many people can use the math they learned? Geography is better because it’s used every day.
"Lu Jinan, let's go." Xiao Yan and He Fei put on gloves and waited at the door of the sisters' house.
Lu Jinan didn't say anything. He glanced at He Xi for a long time, and finally made a decision. He took off the gloves on his hands and looked at He Xi who was unhurried. He felt a breath stuck in his heart. He turned around and got a chair and wanted to sit down to supervise He Xi's study.
He Xi followed Lu Jinan's eyes, saw his movements clearly, stood up and hurriedly stopped him: "No, you should go to work. I can learn by myself. You don't need to supervise me. I'm not a child anymore."
Lu Jinan chuckled and said, "You are worse than an elementary school student. You can't even concentrate for fifteen minutes. Do you have ADHD or Tourette syndrome?"
He Xi thought for a moment, these two symptoms have not been figured out yet, medicine has not yet developed to such a level, Lu Jinan, your vest is being exposed more and more, don't worry, just wait and take off the vest layer by layer on your own initiative.
"I really don't know."
Lu Jinan: "..."
"If you don't want me to watch you study, just focus on your own."
"Uh-huh."
He Xi watched the four people go to work eagerly, and exclaimed in a low voice, "Yes, they are finally leaving. What should we do?"
Doesn't He Fei study? Of course she does, but she is more proactive than He Xi. She doesn't need supervision from others and can complete tasks independently. If she encounters a problem she doesn't know how to solve, she has Xiao Yan. If she doesn't know how to solve it, she has Lu Jin'an.
He Xi had a brief exchange with the system and started watching anime. He seldom watched Chinese anime and usually watched Japanese anime. He had watched Chinese anime such as Chinese Husband and Son of Heaven, The Adventures of Little Carp, Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit, Douluo Dalu, etc. As for Japanese anime, he used to watch it to kill time while brushing his teeth.
You can buy the entire anime on the system store and watch it in the cinema, where you can get free refills of popcorn and drinks, although admission to the cinema is still charged extra.
On one side of the couple's seat is He Xi, and the other half is an invisible system. If it is invisible, how do we know it is there? Because the popcorn is gone so quickly, it must be there.
When Lu Jinan got off work at noon, he found that there were more books piled on He Xi's desk than before, but he was not there, probably because he had gone to make lunch.
He sat on the chair where He Xi was sitting, flipping through the test papers and textbooks, his bony fingers turning them over and over flexibly. Then his face became darker and darker, and the temperature of his body dropped a lot.
Good, very good. He Xi didn’t finish a single math paper in the whole morning. It seems that his tutor is not strict enough.
The chirping of magpies on the branches outside the window, jumping up and down and fluttering their wings, broke Lu Jinan's thoughts. He Xi, who was standing at the door, panicked. She had forgotten the time while watching anime, and the remaining time was only enough to make lunch. So she had to choose between the two or cook.
He also noticed He Xi behind him and asked, "You only spent half a roll of paper in the morning. You are so promising."
"I..." He Xi felt a little guilty.
Lu Jinan's bony fingers clenched into a clacking sound, and he gave orders like a king: "Come here."
Lu Jinan had a serious expression on his face, and there was a low pressure all over his body. He used his long legs to turn over the chair that he hadn't used in the morning and let He Xi sit down. He Xi stammered, "The meal is ready, let's eat."
"You think I can eat that?"
He Xi: If you can’t eat, then she can. Popcorn won’t satisfy your hunger, drinks are just water, and cooking requires energy.
Lu Jinan narrowed his eyes and urged her in a low voice: "Hurry up, or I will really hit a woman."
