Reborn not to be a simp, the school beauty's whole family goes crazy

"Oops, I pressed the wrong button again!"

But with Chen Dong's patient guidance, he gradually mastered the knack.

She shouted excitedly, "I threw a punch! Haha, I hit you!"

Chen Dong then cooperated with her, deliberately making the character make the action of being hit.

He swayed slightly and let out a cry of pain, which made Chu Mengran laugh out loud.

This reminded Chen Dong of the feeling of playing cartridge games with his relatives' children in his previous life.

Yes, at this moment, Chu Mengran's behavior while playing cartridge games was similar to that of her foolish relative's child in her previous life.

Meanwhile, Guo Miao and Yu Qin, under Chen Dong's guidance, chose the game "Super Mario".

Guo Miao controlled Mario as he ran and jumped through the Mushroom Kingdom, while Yu Qin watched nervously from the side.

His eyes were glued to the screen, and he occasionally let out a gasp of surprise.

Wow, that's a really high jump! Watch out for that monster!

Guo Miao was completely focused, fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead, muttering to himself, "Watch me, I'm going to eat that gold coin!"

When Mario successfully collected the coin, the two high-fived excitedly: "Yay, that's awesome!"

After several rounds of Street Fighter II battles, Chu Mengran gradually became more skilled and was able to exchange a few blows with Chen Dong.

At this point, Chen Dong suggested, "Let's change the game, how about playing 'Tank Battle'?"

"This game can be played cooperatively. Let's pair up and see who can last the longest."

Everyone agreed.

Chen Dong took out the "Tank Battle" cartridge and inserted it into the cartridge slot.

The game screen appears, showing familiar grasslands, rivers, and base scenes.

Chen Dong and Chu Mengran are in one group, and Guo Miao and Yu Qin are in another group.

As the game began, Chen Dong explained to Chu Mengran while controlling the game: "Mengran, we need to protect the base and destroy the enemy's tanks at the same time."

"You're in charge of defending the base, I'll go on the attack."

Chu Mengran nodded earnestly: "Okay, I will definitely guard it well!"

Guo Miao and Yu Qin quickly got into the zone, with Guo Miao confidently declaring, "Yu Qin, watch how awesome I am! We'll crush them!"

Yu Qin responded with a smile, "Okay, I'll cheer you on!"

In the game, Chen Dong skillfully maneuvers his tank across the battlefield, constantly attacking Guo Miao and Yu Qin's tanks.

Chu Mengran kept her eyes glued to the screen, and as soon as an enemy tank approached the base, she would fire immediately.

"Mengran, well done!"

Chen Dong praised Chu Mengran after seeing her successfully repel the enemy.

Chu Mengran laughed happily: "Hehe, aren't I amazing!"

Guo Miao and Yu Qin were not to be outdone. The two worked together seamlessly, dodging Chen Dong's attacks time and time again, and finding opportunities to counterattack.

Yu Qin shouted anxiously, "Guo Miao, watch out on the left!"

Guo Miao quickly adjusted his direction and narrowly escaped disaster.

In the living room, game sound effects and cheerful laughter mingled together.

The intense battle music of Street Fighter II and the cheerful background music of Super Mario.

The room was filled with a joyful atmosphere as the exciting melody of "Tank Battle" played, along with shouts and laughter from the audience.

During breaks in the game, Chen Dong would thoughtfully hand Chu Mengran a glass of juice.

She asked gently, "Are you tired? Would you like to rest for a bit?"

Chu Mengran kept smiling and shaking her head, her eyes still fixed on the screen, and said, "Not tired at all, I want to play one more game. This time we must win!"

As the game progressed, everyone's skills improved, and they became more and more engrossed in the game.

Unconsciously, time passed quietly.

They were immersed in this joyful time of play, forgetting all their troubles and fully enjoying this rare moment of relaxation and happiness.

In Sanxi Village, the ancient tree at the village entrance stands like a weathered old man, quietly witnessing the everyday life of the villagers.

Shen Changgui was sitting on a small stool, engrossed in a game of chess with his old friend Li Fugui.

On the chessboard, the Chu River and Han Border divide the forces of Chu and Han, and the red and black pieces move back and forth, fighting fiercely and evenly.

A group of middle-aged people from the same village gathered around, their hands behind their backs or their arms crossed, their eyes fixed on the chessboard.

It was as if they were observing a major battle concerning life and death, occasionally offering a few comments.

"Changgui, you'd better watch out for your horse. Fugui has his cannon set up right here, just waiting to eat your horse!"

A villager named Zhao Erniu, wearing faded blue overalls, pointed at the chessboard and shouted at the top of his lungs.

Shen Changgui frowned deeply, scratched his head with his rough hands, and twisted the wrinkles on his forehead into a pretzel shape.

He was pondering a solution in his mind, making a difficult choice.

Just as the game of chess reached a crucial point, someone in the crowd started a conversation that suddenly shifted to children who were away from home returning for the Chinese New Year.

"My son brought me a huge color TV when he came home for Chinese New Year this year, a 21-inch behemoth!"

"They said it's the most popular Panasonic brand in the city, and they even taught me how to use it. Now I can watch the news every day at home!"

Villager Wang Daqiang, wearing a brand-new black jacket, had a ruddy complexion.

As he spoke, he gestured to show off the size of the television, looking quite pleased with himself.

Everyone cast envious glances their way, and they started chatting amongst themselves.

"My daughter bought me a leather coat with a fox fur collar, it's so warm."

"He said he made a lot of money working in a garment factory in the city, and told me not to work so hard farming anymore."

Another villager, Aunt Zhang, wrapped in a bright red scarf, smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into slits, her tone full of pride.

At this moment, someone turned the conversation to Shen Changgui: "Changgui, what good things did your Yueyue bring you when she came back for Chinese New Year this year?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Changgui's face instantly lit up with a smug smile, and he straightened his back even more, as if he had suddenly become ten years younger.

He was wearing a slightly faded but still relatively clean Zhongshan suit. He patted his thigh and said, "My Yueyue is so filial!"

"Not only did I bring a lot of food, daily necessities, and clothing from the capital, but also Peking duck, the aroma of which filled the whole room as soon as I opened the box."

"There are also Poria cocos cakes, which are crispy and sweet; and high-end skincare products, like Dabao SOD Honey, which she uses to care for her mother's skin!"

"They even gave me a big red envelope with 100 yuan in it, and they also gave their family a lot of money to help with household expenses!"

In 1994, a hundred yuan red envelope was not a small amount for an ordinary rural family.

When Shen Changgui said this, his voice unconsciously rose several decibels.

The moment he said that, the villagers watching the game were all taken aback.

"Hey, Changgui, what kind of job does your Yueyue do in the capital? It sounds like she earns a lot of money!"

Li Fugui stopped playing chess, put on his black-rimmed reading glasses, and asked with a curious expression.
