Before the mountain was closed due to heavy snow, Meng Tian and Qi Meng were sent to the train. Gu Zuozuo glanced at the dark sky. It seemed that there would be a snowstorm tonight. Fortunately, they left in time.
"Gu Zhiqing, I got some sugarcane at home, and I'll give you two to try."
The woman with her head wrapped in a cloth took out the sugarcane tied with a rope from the basket she was carrying and placed it on the table. She looked at her with gratitude and gentle eyes.
"Try it and see if it's delicious. This is a specialty my boss bought when he was delivering glass. I heard it's very sweet."
Gu Zuozuo smiled with her eyes curved. She remembered this aunt.
When the higher-ups decided to open a glass factory here, she was still confused.
Later I learned that there was a kind of soil layer in the back mountain that was very suitable for making glass, so I decided to open a glass factory.
My aunt's husband was injured while transporting soil at this time and his arm was almost broken.
This was a disaster for their family, as the whole family depended on the man's salary as a driver.
"Gu Zhiqing, are you going to spend the New Year alone again this year? Why don't you come to my house this New Year's Eve? I haven't had time to thank you since you healed my husband's arm. We agreed, you must come!"
After saying that, without giving Gu Zuozuo any chance to refuse, he waved his hand, lifted the door curtain and walked out.
Gu Zuozuo laughed and looked at the bundle of sugarcane on the table, wondering how to eat it.
"Gu Zhiqing! My mother asked me to bring you some soybean paste!"
At the door, the sound came before the person arrived, and Liu Ximei walked in hurriedly.
The most famous person in the village for making the most delicious soybean paste is Liu Ximei's mother-in-law. Every year, she would send a jar of soybean paste to Gu Zuozuo, without fail.
"Why are you alone at the health station?"
Liu Ximei stamped her feet. The cold wind outside made the tip of her nose red. Even the thick scarf could not protect her from the ravages of the north wind.
"Well, judging by the weather, there's likely to be a snowstorm tonight, and there won't be any patients coming. So, let Liang Zhiqing and Wu Zhiqing return to the Zhiqing point."
Liu Ximei put down the basket in her hand and took out the things one by one.
"This is the newly made soybean paste, this is pickled cabbage, this is kimchi, and this is jam. My mother-in-law used the recipe you gave her and made jam from all the fruit that Qiu'er couldn't finish eating this year. Don't tell me it tastes really good!"
A large jar of transparent glass is filled with orange jam, and you can smell the rich sweet fruity aroma as soon as you open it.
"Look at you, you've been in the countryside for so many years, but you still haven't learned how to cook. As soon as Qi Zhiqing and Meng Zhiqing left, my mother-in-law started worrying about how you'd eat by yourself. I called you, but you refused to come to my house to eat..."
Gu Zuozuo supported his chin and listened to her chatter with a smile.
"By the way, this is the rabbit fur insole my sister-in-law knitted for you. She's still in confinement after giving birth, so she asked me to bring it to you."
Liu Ximei's sister-in-law is the daughter-in-law of the eldest son of the team leader Duan Jianhua.
She had a difficult delivery when giving birth to her first child. After she rescued her, he came to bring her things every few days.
The day before yesterday it was bananas and mangoes, which are rare in the north, yesterday it was sea fish and shrimp, and today it is rabbit fur insoles.
Although she has no shortage of these things, it is hard to find a thoughtful person.
As the family was talking, Gu Zuozuo's consciousness suddenly started to crackle as the system that had been silent for a few days began to work. The system that had been missing for several days finally came back.
【Host! I'm back! 】
When the familiar voice rejoiced in his mind again, a smile appeared in Gu Zuozuo's eyes that had not been seen for a long time.
It has been with me for several years. I suddenly lost contact with it for several days and I missed it very much.
"Why did it take so long?"
[Host, I didn't mean to do that. I went to the Spacetime Department to help you investigate that useless counterattack system.]
But it didn't expect that it would meet the perverted boss of the Time and Space Bureau, and was caught by him and used as free labor for several days to fix the system loopholes for him.
After seeing Liu Ximei off, Gu Zuozuo asked about the details of the system investigation.
"So, my dream is real?"
[That's right, host. You and the original owner have similar auras and almost identical magnetic fields. Plus, since you swapped bodies, there's always some connection between you that others don't have. That's why you dream about her, and she dreams about you too. However, this will probably happen less often in the future. It's just a coincidence.]
[As for that useless counterattack system, it was given to her by the Mastermind as compensation and to allow her to survive in your world.]
Thinking of this, the system started to crackle with anger.
Who would have thought that the main brain actually took away everything the host gave it, under the euphemism of giving it as start-up money to help its host resolve his regrets.
Bah!
Are you really trying to fool it into thinking it's mentally retarded?
Gu Zuozuo tilted his head and looked at the moon outside through the glass, a trace of melancholy flashing in his eyes.
"Tong, I can't go back."
"You can't go back in the first place. Have you ever heard of a time traveler returning to their own world? Of course, there are time travelers who can return, but the prerequisite is that they have completed the system's ultimate goal and their energy and faith values have reached a certain value."
“Do you have a goal?”
The system was silent for a long time before speaking aggrievedly.
[Host, don't be too greedy as a host. I am a poverty alleviation and welfare sign-in system, not a task system.]
"Besides, what are you going back for? To watch your love-brained mother and your family-obsessed father perform a Qiong Yao drama on you every day?"
You've been watching it for over 20 years, and you still haven't seen enough?
Gu Zuozuo rolled her eyes. Is that what she meant?
"I just feel bad that I've become eight years younger after traveling here. And the original owner went from being sixteen to being twenty-four. Will she be so angry that she'll vomit blood?"
