The child is the pain that Xiang Baiwei and Jiang Sui are both reluctant to mention since their rebirth.
Xiao Huzi blinked and looked at the man in front of him who seemed to know him. He was a little wary and didn't say anything.
[Warning! Someone has noticed this. If you don't react normally, you will arouse suspicion! ]
The mechanical voice in his head pulled Jiang Sui out of his painful thoughts. He came back to his senses immediately and spoke to Xiao Huzi in a loud voice: "Your parents are looking for you like crazy. Come with me now. Don't be afraid. I know you are Li Hu, the son of Li Guoqing from the Guanzhuang Second Brigade. Am I right?"
He was right. Xiaohu stretched out his white and tender little hands, wanting him to hold him.
Jiang Sui picked up the small and soft child, and walked away with him in his arms with mixed feelings.
The child must have cried for a long time, and was tired and hungry, so his voice was a little hoarse. Jiang Sui looked at the sleepy child, asked the system for a piece of candy, peeled off the candy wrapper, and put it into the child's mouth: "Eat it, you'll be home after you finish eating it."
[Warning! The host's behavior can easily affect children's cognition! ]
Jiang Sui looked at Xiaohu, who was tired of crying and seemed to be about to fall asleep, and felt sorry for him: "He is still so young, he probably won't remember it. He will forget about it in a few days."
[Please don’t underestimate children’s memory! ]
Although what the system said was correct, when Jiang Sui looked at this chubby child, he always thought of his son.
He couldn't bear to be cold to the child, and as soon as he picked him up, he wanted to pour all his hidden love for the child into him.
The system sensed his emotions, remained silent for a while, and then compromised.
[The host can choose to spend 100 points to clear the child's memory of what happened today. ]
"One hundred points? I only get ten points for completing one mission. I have to complete ten missions to accumulate one hundred points," Jiang Sui was a little annoyed at the system's asking price. "Look how cute this child is. I can't bear to see him suffer. Can't you give me a chance to erase his memory as a favor?"
[If the host is not satisfied with the price, he can refuse the transaction. But a friendly reminder, if children are not vigilant against strangers, it will be terrible! ]
These words from the system touched the hidden wound in Jiang Sui's heart.
Xiang Baiwei got into trouble because she was looking for her lost child.
Although he still doesn't know what happened in the first place.
While he was daydreaming, Jiang Sui had already followed the route given by the system and arrived at a place three hundred meters away from the child's home.
Jiang Sui hid behind the wall and observed for a long time. From time to time, people on bicycles passed by in a hurry in the village in the distance.
If I'm not mistaken, those people should be looking for Li Hu.
With the help of the system, Jiang Sui arranged an identity for himself as a local kind-hearted person with a low sense of presence. He rushed into the crowd in a hurry, holding the child.
In the crowd, a woman dressed like the child's mother was kneeling on the ground and crying loudly. Jiang Sui held the child in his arms and walked to the mother in the path that everyone had cleared. "Is this Hu Zi?"
"Tiger...Tiger!"
The mother stopped crying abruptly, hugged her son with trembling hands, and then stood up to kowtow to Jiang Sui.
Jiang Sui quickly reached out to stop her: "I was passing by here too, and seeing everyone in a hurry, I asked a question. By chance, I looked carefully and found the child in the back."
He used the rhetoric he had prepared beforehand to perfectly fool this group of people.
"Thank you...thank you so much!"
"It's okay, go home quickly."
Another mission completed, Jiang Sui breathed a sigh of relief, left this plane of world, and returned to his own consciousness.
[Congratulations to the host for completing this mission. After calculation, the total points will be reduced by ninety.]
Because he exchanged an opportunity with the system to clear the child's memory, in the end, not only did he not get any extra points, he was deducted 90 points.
Fortunately, the child was found.
At the beginning, after Xiang Baiwei died in a car accident, he was in a daze and decided to end his life. By chance, he got this system.
The system helps him come to another parallel world where everything has not yet begun. Here, he and Xiang Baiwei will have the opportunity to start over.
As a price, Jiang Sui owed the system a lot of points since the beginning of his rebirth.
In the days since his rebirth, he would be pulled by the system to do tasks while he was sleeping at night from time to time to accumulate points to pay off his debts.
If he fails to pay back the points within the specified time, he may be sent back to his original world by the system.
In order to be with Xiang Baiwei, he himself couldn't remember how many tasks he had completed.
Anyway, a large part of the points debt that seemed astronomical in the beginning has been paid off.
Now he even has spare points to redeem things.
[Congratulations host, because your level has been upgraded, the system mall is now open. You can use your points to redeem items in this mall in the future. ]
Jiang Sui was very interested in the mall mentioned by the system. He followed the instructions, entered the mall entrance, strolled around inside, and then walked out empty-handed.
This mall does have a wide variety of goods, and the prices are reasonable, not particularly high! The only pity is that some of the things here are too modern.
The outside world is in an age where these things shouldn't be appearing.
If he exchanged these things and took them out now, and if they were accidentally noticed by people outside, the consequences would be disastrous.
So Jiang Sui went in full of hope and left with a lot of disappointment.
It doesn’t matter. The system said that the mall will be refreshed every once in a while, and maybe it will be able to refresh things that appear in this era in the future.
Just think of it as accumulating points now.
On the same kang, on the other side separated by a curtain, Xiang Baiwei was also busy in the space.
She stood at the edge of the peanut field, bent down and pulled out a peanut vine from it, looking at the roots full of fruits with a complicated expression.
She planted these peanuts in September. Now it is November, just over two months later, and the peanuts have grown.
It grows half as fast as normal peanuts.
The climate in space is exactly the opposite of that outside, and it can be said to be two or three months later.
I originally thought that this batch of peanuts would take a long time to mature, but I didn’t expect that they could be harvested so soon.
With joy in her heart, Xiang Baiwei put down the peanut vine with delicious fruits, came to the fish pond, took out the fishing net she had just received last month, and fished a fish out of the pond.
The fish fry that were put in at about the same time as the peanuts have now grown into big fish. Although they are not particularly big, they can still be sold for a good price at the market outside.
"So, time in this space is actually faster than outside? Food matures faster, so no matter what kind of food you grow or what kind of animals you raise, time will be twice as fast. If this continues..."
In the long run, Xiang Baiwei will definitely be able to make a fortune from this.
But the difficult part is, how to monetize these things?
