After broadcasting the ancient times live, I handed the system over to the state.

The magical Journey to the West always brought Zhu Qinggu plenty of joy.

So she switched back to watching Journey to the West, watching a short episode or two while eating. Each episode was cut down to about ten minutes, which was just right, wasn't it?

And so the people under the sky were once again greeted with the beloved Journey to the West.

Last time, we saw that Sun Wukong understood Bodhi Patriarch's advice and went to find Bodhi Patriarch in the middle of the night, carefully not disturbing him. However, Bodhi Patriarch had already woken up, but remained silent, testing Sun Wukong's perseverance.

People are always forgetful. Just a while ago, scholars were cursing the heavens for defiling their most holy teacher, but now they immediately turn their guns on him, thinking that Patriarch Bodhi had great integrity, and that Sun Wukong, a little monkey, was actually quite well-behaved.

If it were someone else, they might not know why Bodhi Patriarch beat him during the day.

Judging from this incident, Sun Wukong is very intelligent.

When Sun Wukong was about to leave, Patriarch Bodhi woke up and then taught him his skills.

After mastering the seventy-two transformations, Sun Wukong also gained the Somersault Cloud, which could travel 108,000 li in a single somersault.

The people under the sky were both amazed and happy for him.

After trekking thousands of miles, visiting markets on the water and mountains, I've finally acquired the skills!

Why not give them a master like Bodhi Patriarch?!

Envy it!

Don't be fooled, there are no monsters in the world!

[Thank you, Shennong! I would have been completely in the dark if you hadn't told me!]

I only acknowledge Bodhi Patriarch as Sun Wukong's master; I don't think Tang Sanzang deserves that title.

[Oh, they're just colleagues, but the sequel to Tang Sanzang is alright.]

[That's the Golden Cicada Master now, not the mortal Tang Sanzang, of course he can fight!]

[The fight scenes and the bizarre camera work are dizzying.]

Zhu Qinggu knew this, and she added in the comments section, "[Actually, it's because there wasn't enough time for filming, and the investors withdrew their funding, so it wasn't possible to film according to the original plan. Television dramas need a sufficient number of episodes and runtime, and since the entire series didn't have enough, they had to reuse some fight scenes.]"

Zhu Qinggu recalled that when he was a child, he didn't find it strange or anything like that. On the contrary, he found it interesting and impressive, and it left a deep impression on him.

The main thing is that the plot is exciting enough, so anything is fine.

If they add those nonsensical plot points that have nothing to do with the main storyline, or that are just plain stupid, forget about whether the shots will be repetitive; she'll lose all patience from the very beginning.

The ancient people under the sky didn't know what she meant, but the actress perfectly portrayed the ethereal and ancient spirit of Bodhi Patriarch, which reminded many people of their own mentors.

Some people are also starting to wonder about the Tang Monk who comes later. They saw a video clip of Zhu Bajie and it can be seen that the Tang Monk was a monk. Could he also become Sun Wukong's master?

Could it be that Patriarch Bodhi taught Sun Wukong skills, while Tang Sanzang taught him how to conduct himself in the world?

They don't know now, but if they knew that Tang Sanzang had driven Sun Wukong away and had many misunderstandings, they would probably be cursing and swearing.

Zhu Qinggu only watched Journey to the West for a short while before turning it off. He originally wanted to continue browsing Douyin (TikTok) when he received a video call from his mother.

She was going to call back, but her mother called first.

She immediately opened a video call.

The screen above the sky showed their video call interface.

"Mom, I was just about to call you!" Zhu Qinggu also shed her outward confidence and strength, and in front of her mother, she was like a little girl, smiling happily.

"Looks like we're on pretty good terms today," Zhu's mother said with a smile. "Have you eaten yet?"

"I just finished eating, what about you?"

"Your aunt and her family came to our house today, and there's so much food! Look, I made several dishes." Zhu's mother also turned the video over.

I saw cola chicken wings, braised fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, pork tripe and chicken soup, braised sea cucumber with scallions... There were about ten dishes, red, green and yellow, all glossy and shiny, and you could tell they were delicious at a glance.

The people under the canopy were eating and didn't think much of it, but now that they saw how well Miss Zhu was eating, it was as if the aroma had traveled across the canopy and reached their noses.

The hungry became even hungrier, and those who were eating felt that their food was rather uninteresting.

They already had a basic understanding of the living standards of later generations. For example, when Zhu Qinggu went to the snack street to eat last time, they had already learned about some places. Later, they gradually filled in their impressions of later generations from Zhu Qinggu's life, her live broadcasts, Douyin short videos, and so on.

I'm a little envious now, but not too surprised.

If everyone can fill their stomachs, even if there isn't meat and vegetables, just being full is enough!

Zhu's mother called simply to ask Zhu Qinggu to meet with her aunt and say hello. Zhu's mother also asked if her current medical insurance was purchased through the school.

"Yeah, then we don't need to buy it at home anymore, right?" It's already November, and we'll have to start buying medical insurance in December. Actually, Zhu Qinggu doesn't use it much every year, and he spends most of his time at school.

"Medical insurance has gone up in price again this year, but we can't skimp on these things; we still have to buy what we need," the auntie said.

"Then you'll buy it at the school next month? Will you have enough for living expenses?" Zhu's mother asked.

"That's enough, that's enough. I have my own savings, and I can pay for my medical insurance myself."

Then she went on and on for a long time, talking about family matters, mentioning that when her grandfather was hospitalized last time, he had medical insurance, which reimbursed a lot of the expenses, and in the end it only cost a few hundred yuan. She told her to remember to buy medical insurance.

Zhu Qinggu chatted with them for a long time, and he was smiling when he hung up the phone.

The sky curtain gradually went out.

The ancients under the celestial canopy thought these were just mundane matters, but there were some more important things they could discover.

That day, when Ms. Zhu went to the hospital for a checkup, she didn't pay any money. Was it all covered by medical insurance?

In later generations of China, will medical expenses be reimbursed?

When Miss Zhu's grandfather fell ill, he only had to pay a few hundred yuan.

What kind of standard of living is a few hundred? I always hear comments like, "Why worry about things when you only earn two or three thousand a month?" If you get sick and are hospitalized once, it could cost several thousand. Doesn't that mean you've worked for nothing for one or two months?

Therefore, seeing a doctor in later generations was also expensive, but the state would help cover some of the costs, which made it possible for the vast majority of people to afford medical care!

How powerful was the nation in later generations?

It seems like they want to manage every aspect.
