Ning Hong is not a member of the Ning family.
Of course, his body is, but his soul is not.
He was a ghost from another world.
How should I put it?
Ning Hong herself wasn't really sure either.
Her death was inexplicable, and her arrival here was equally inexplicable. However, Ning Hong had long since severed all ties in her original world. Why not live a few more decades?
The fact that the Ning family treated him so well made him, an orphan who had never felt family affection, cherish this hard-won affection even more.
Before she knew it, it was time for Ning Hongzao to go to the city university to register.
Therefore, Ning Hong took a special leave and accompanied Ning Anping to report for duty with Ning Hongzao.
"Don't be afraid, your brother works in the city too. If you need anything in the future, you can come to your brother." Ning Hongze said as she stuffed the money and food coupons in her hand into Ning Hongzao's hand.
Ning Hongzao was admitted to a university in the local area, which is very close to where Ning Hongze works, and is not far from Nanwan Village.
Upon hearing that Ning Hongze's younger sister had been admitted to university, Ning Hongze's superiors granted her leave without hesitation.
It is now March 1978. The whole of China is rebuilding from the ashes. However, this China is somewhat different from the era that Ning Hongze is familiar with.
At least the name of this country's great man was different from what he remembered.
He thought he must have arrived in a parallel universe.
However, life is just as difficult for the people here.
Of course, the opportunities to make money are the same.
Ning Hong now works in a state-owned textile factory.
Now it's the era of ration coupons, unlike his time. Now he can have a formal job in the city, which gives him a town household registration, food rations, a stable salary, and ration coupons, enough for his family of four to live comfortably.
Of course, he has more ways of making money than just this.
He also secretly sold some things outside; otherwise, his wallet wouldn't have gotten so bulging so quickly.
As a time traveler, he naturally has a cheat system, which is that he has a space.
Of course, it's not the kind that can be planted and has a spiritual spring.
His space is a shopping mall.
A seven-story shopping mall.
He remembered that before he transmigrated, he seemed to have been buying things in this mall, but he didn't know what happened that made him transmigrate with the mall.
It was because of this shopping mall that he was able to accumulate a considerable amount of wealth so smoothly.
Ning Hongzao didn't stand on ceremony with her brother and accepted the money directly. In her opinion, her brother was the most capable person, after all, she had personally witnessed him bringing back large sums of money.
Even when she was little, her brother, who was also quite young, was able to get money and tickets to bring back.
Not to mention now.
"Eat what you should eat and drink what you should drink. You're growing, so don't be stingy with your money."
"Okay," Ning Hongzao said obediently, holding a thermos in her arms, watching her brother and father clean her dormitory bed from top to bottom.
"Dad, I can do it."
"It's okay, my sweet daughter, just stand there quietly and don't move."
People came to the dormitory one after another, and many of them looked at Ning Hongzao standing still with disapproval on their faces.
"How can a man enter the girls' dormitory?" one of the girls said, her eyebrows furrowed so deeply they could have caught a fly.
"Sorry, we're just worried about my sister." Hearing someone complain, Ning Hong quickly stood up and took out a handful of White Rabbit milk candies from her pocket.
He grabbed three for each person and handed them to them.
“My sister has never traveled far from home before. My brother, my father, and I were really worried about her, so we came along. We’re so sorry for causing you any trouble.”
"It's okay, it's okay. Actually, my dad just came in too." The girl standing at the front scratched her head a little shyly.
Surprisingly, this person, despite his ordinary clothes, was quite generous. She knew those candies were expensive.
After helping Ning Hongzao pack all her things, Ning Anping and Ning Hongze left the girls' dormitory. Ning Anping's eyes were red, and she was very reluctant to leave.
Unfortunately, economic reforms haven't been truly implemented here yet. When the time comes, he'll bring Ning Anping to the city as well, and then their family can be reunited.
However, the first thing to do is to take advantage of this time to buy more shops and houses, and even land is acceptable.
"I'm entrusting the red dates to you." Ning Anping patted Ning Hongze's shoulder, the muscles beneath his palm quite firm. That skinny little boy from back then has grown so strong.
When Ning Hongze was sixteen, he was already quite strong. The village chief wanted to recommend him to join the army, but he refused.
The reason given was that he couldn't bear to leave his family behind.
Ning Anping was so moved that he had tears in his eyes.
In this day and age, joining the army is a very honorable thing, but his child refused without hesitation.
Ning Hong didn't know why either.
It seemed as if someone was telling him, deep down, not to leave Ning Hongzao easily.
We must protect her.
If he joins the army, he will have to leave Hongzao. In particular, he might not be able to come home for three to five years while serving in the army. He wouldn't know what might happen to Hongzao then.
It's a very magical feeling.
Therefore, he refused outright.
Of course, seeing how moved his father was, he swallowed all his words and let his father misunderstand.
It was a beautiful misunderstanding, wasn't it?
However, now that the country is preparing to develop its economy, he can consider his next step.
The textile factory is doing fairly well now, but he knows that state-owned enterprises like this will eventually go bankrupt, and sooner or later these workers will be laid off.
Ning Hong stroked his chin, thinking that perhaps he could privatize the factory.
Ning Hongzao was naturally unaware of Ning Hongze's thoughts, but she wasn't having a very good time at school.
This is ridiculous; it's only been a few days since school started, and I've already offended someone.
I'm being ostracized now.
Not only were her textbooks vandalized, but she couldn't even find a place to sit in the canteen. Luckily, her brother had given her a lot of money and food coupons before he left, so she could eat at the state-run restaurant; otherwise, she would have starved to death before the weekend.
