Time Travel: Conditional Wealth

The night is dark.

When He Xi rolled over on the big kang in the Northeast, a system notification sounded in his mind: "Ding, host, you have a recent task, please check it."

Check? How? She obviously couldn't see anything, so how could she just wave her hand and the control panel would appear like in anime? Bullshit.

She actually believed the nonsense and waved her hands in the air, and the control panel really appeared. The light blue controllable panel showed that there was an unread email.

The above describes He Xi's plan for the future. To put it bluntly, it is to insist on farming. There are two types of land: ordinary land and land in space. And he has to rely on land to become the richest man.

The mechanical voice of the system came again: "You can only survive if you complete the plan of becoming the richest man before the age of 30. Otherwise, you will still die in this era. If you fail to comply with the system prompts, you may be punished."

“Of course, there are also reward mechanisms, such as daily random check-ins, low-interest loans, and encouragement for completing parts of the plan.”

Under the guidance of the system, He Xi completed the final system certification and obtained an ancient gold bracelet. This is the medium through which He Xi can summon the system at will, and can also enter the corresponding space through it.

The space is not large but it encompasses everything, including a mall that refreshes from time to time, spiritual fields, spiritual springs, warehouses, and farms. The farms are not open yet, but certain privileges will be unlocked for every 500 yuan earned.

He Xi signed in for a bag of bell pepper seeds today. She happily planted half of them in the space and left the other half outside for her family to eat together.

The system’s primary plan for He Xi: improving physical functions.

Do 35 sit-ups, 35 squats, and run 2 kilometers every day. If you fail to complete all of them, you will be punished.

Very good, now I have the motivation to lose weight. He Xi looked at his skinny body and laughed inwardly, is there any need to lose weight?

He Xi fell asleep while thinking. When she woke up, she yawned and got up. The yard was quiet with only the morning birds. After completing sit-ups and squats in the yard, He Xi went out to complete a two-kilometer run.

The air in the countryside is sweet, and the natural oxygen bar is just around the corner. He Xi ran so fast that he forgot about his worries.

It's really hard for her to run two kilometers now. In short, it's because her body lacks nutrition. The system control panel reminded her that she had completed today's task, so He Xi changed her way back to walking.

When I got home, I found that there was no one there. I guess they all went to work. The freezing period in Daxinganling lasts for more than six months, so summer is particularly precious. People have to seize this fleeting season for crop growth.

The land was not much and was rather scattered, so people spent half of their time cultivating the land. The income from the farmers was not enough to feed the entire village, so they had pastures with sheep and reindeer.

When turbulent times collide with simple people, both sides often suffer.

He Xi sat alone at the dinner table in a daze, thinking about the characteristics of this era. She came back to her senses and looked at an upside-down bowl of eggs. It was eggs again. Did they eat them?

He Xi put the egg away without eating it. She ate the porridge with pickled cabbage, with a happy smile on her face.

I was curious why He Xi didn't go to the fields to earn work points. He's parents meant that every graduating child would be given a transition period to adapt from being a student to a farmer. Being a student is temporary, but working in the soil for a living could be a lifetime.

Everyone in the He family has his or her own vegetable garden and can create as they please. He Zhixing's garden was planted by his parents, but He Xi's garden has a lot of weeds growing on it because he lived in the school dormitory before.

He Xi chose an inconspicuous place to plant sweet peppers, and watered them with spiritual spring water mixed with water in a ratio of one to ten. Otherwise, the peppers might not grow, as summer was too short.

Today's sign-in is for one acre of high-yield wheat seedlings. The land is not suitable for planting, so He Xi made some minor adjustments to the loan. Half of the loan is used for ripening, and it will take about five hours to mature.

She successfully transplanted two zucchini, which are commonly known as horned melons. He Xi didn't know what variety of melon she had planted before, there were only leaves but no melon. She used a transplant technique and added some spiritual spring water, and the variety matured in an hour.

There were as many as six ripe zucchini. He Xi took them and walked to the town. With the good vegetables in his hands, he had to exchange them for money or food to survive. He could not rely on his eldest brother alone, he also had to make money to marry a wife.

Looking at the endless muddy dirt road, He Xi's legs began to tremble for no reason. Can she handle the dozens of miles of mountain road? Thinking back to He Zhixing who sent money home every month, she couldn't be selfish. Since she had replaced someone else's identity, she should know how to be grateful.

It was already noon when He Xi arrived at the town. She found a stream to wash her face and tidy herself up. For safety reasons, she planned to sell the goods to the supply and marketing cooperative and explore her future sales channels.

She calculated the time and the wheat was almost ripe, so she found an empty dry toilet and slipped into the space to prepare for the harvest. As a result, she almost suffocated to death in the dry toilet. She covered her mouth and ran out, then ran back to the stream to wash herself again.

The universal weed pile was her only choice. He Xi looked around vigilantly and decided to follow the system's arrangement and buy a reconnaissance mode, which would be another loan.

She slapped herself twice, scolding herself for being so useless. How could she be the richest person? She had taken out two loans in the morning, and every time she took out a loan, she had to run one more kilometer.

The wheat yield of one acre of land is about 800 kilograms. A 60% conversion rate means 480 kilograms of flour. Moreover, this is the first time that the flour is ground for free. He Xi plans to sell the 400 kilograms and keep the rest for his own consumption.

It was thought that bell peppers and zucchini would be difficult to sell, but the supply and marketing cooperative accepted them after asking He Xi some questions. This left He Xi at a loss as to what to do, and she even prepared her response to the staff.

Ordinary vegetables cost two cents a pound, but He Xi's products are sold at five cents a pound. It's not a big deal anyway, so he can make money by paying.

He Xi only earned five dollars and sixty cents in total. He Xi weighed the money in his hand with mixed feelings. The tuition for one year in middle school is twelve dollars per semester. How much did He's parents have to pay to support three children?

Putting her hands up to shield her head from the scorching sun, she went to the black market to sell her flour. The flour sold at the supply and marketing cooperative was 18.5 yuan per hundred catties, while the price on the black market was between 20 and 25 yuan per hundred catties.

He Xi's 400 kilograms attracted considerable attention in the black market. They had reason to suspect that He Xi was a cop who was here to crack down on speculation and profiteering. She rolled her eyes when she was questioned and later fainted from the heat. Only then did they believe He Xi's innocence.

An hour later they showed up at the agreed location, wearing dark blue clothes and carrying the food coupons, meat coupons, cloth coupons, sugar coupons, cotton coupons, shoe coupons, etc. and money that He Xi wanted.

The leading man looked at the quality of the flour and asked, "Sister, top-quality flour, okay, ok, twenty-five yuan per hundred jin."

He Xi naturally agreed, and she nodded, not wanting to expose herself too much.

The final transaction price was fifty dollars plus a bunch of tickets.

He Xi returned to the supply and marketing cooperative again and bought two pieces of pork belly, a pile of lard, three packs of peach cakes, a pound of salt and other things and returned home with a full load.

He Xi returned to the village around three or four o'clock in the afternoon. He saw from afar that the door of his house was open. Could it be that they were at home? That would be a good opportunity for him to have dinner early.

When I walked to the door, I realized that it was not them, but the grandparents in the original owner's memory and two unfamiliar young people.

He Xi shouted very naturally: "Grandpa and grandma, why are you here? Did you know that I bought something good?"

Grandpa He looked at He Xi's heavy backpack and consoled her, "It's common for mountain products to not sell. Don't get upset."

He Xi agreed while taking off the backpack. One of the good-looking boys helped her: "Thank you."

The backpack had a lid. He Xi gladly accepted Grandpa He's comfort. After simply washing herself, He Xi took out a piece of pork belly: "Here, take it back and eat it. I'm going to start cooking too. If you have something to say, you really need to tell me quickly."

Grandpa and grandma He looked at her with surprise. After all, the filial piety of their children and grandchildren was all for the old couple's pension. Only the second son's family, that is, He Xi's father, was different.

Grandma He looked at the pork belly and swallowed her saliva slightly: "What day is it today? Can't you tell me?"

He Xi was about to start refining lard, and her hands were busy washing it: "To honor the elders, please get down to business. The pot will get hot soon and you won't be able to hear what we are saying."

Grandpa He cleared his throat and said, "Your father told you about your previous engagement, right?"

"Hmm? I did."

"That's good. I'll bring the person to you today and you can take a look for yourself."

"Hmm?" He Xi raised her head while busying herself, "Bring it here?"

"Yes, it's him, Lu Jinan."

The first time He Xi met Lu Jinan was on an ordinary afternoon.

Following Grandpa He's line of sight, He Xi finally saw the man who had just helped her unload the backpack. The young man slowly stood up from the chair. He had a tall figure, straight and smooth shoulder lines, a sharp face, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and the most beautiful "inverted triangle."

He turned his back to the light, and at the same time the dazzling light hit him. He Xi raised his arm to rub his eyes, then stood up and smiled: "Well, it suits my aesthetic taste. Stay for dinner tonight."

Lu Jinan raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Okay, it's my pleasure."

He Xi took some time out of her busy schedule to introduce herself: "He Xi, Xi as in cherish, female, 18 years old, no bad habits."

"Lu Jinan, 18, a sent-down youth, has no bad habits, and comes from a harmonious family."

The road is hard, the road is hard, there are many forks in the road, where are you now? Nice name.

Another young man sitting at the tea table stared at the conversation intently, and no one asked a question until it ended. He was wearing a short-sleeved sailor shirt, army green pants, brand new old army shoes, an army green cross-body bag and a water bottle, and he stared at Lu Jinan with resentment.

He glanced at He Xi, and there was no more news? Then where was he eating? So he asked, "Where should I have dinner?"

Lu Jinan ignored his words, rolled up the sleeves of his white shirt and prepared to help He Xi.

He Xi looked at the sensible Lu Jinan, gritted her teeth, and felt sorry for her own flesh and blood, but still perfunctorily agreed that the other person could also have dinner at her house.

The old couple looked at this harmonious scene, weighed the meat, and slowly went home.

Harmony? He Xi's silver teeth were about to break, and the flesh was getting less and less.
