Chapter 140 The Life of a Sent-Down Youth in the 1970s (59)



After searching around, I found a cellar in the rightmost room that I could go down into. I went inside and found that it was quite spacious.

Basically, the size of the cellar below matches the size of the upper room; it's more than enough to store winter vegetables.

Tang Baozhu felt exhausted after a long day, so she made up her bed in the room and went to sleep.

When I woke up, it was almost dark outside. The robot had already pulled up all the grass and even transplanted the flowers and plants from the ground to the back garden.

They might even be so busy that they tidy up all the things they've put out, making sure everything is perfectly organized.

Another day of regretting having only one robot. I wonder when Star Carlo will be able to reincarnate. He must have quite a few robots. I must go to him and exchange them for a few more. Such a capable robot, one is really too few.

As darkness fell, the sounds of noise from both sides of the street created a wonderful atmosphere, yet it felt like everyone was enjoying themselves without disturbing each other – a perfect feeling.

I leisurely lay in my room for two days. During these two days, a nanny robot served me my meals, and I had books to pass the time when I was bored.

On the third day, when it was time for the housewarming party, we took the robot back early in the morning and then took out some food in advance to treat them to a good meal.

Everyone was envious of Tang Baozhu for being able to afford such a big house all by herself. Of course, there were also some jealous people, but those feelings were relatively mild.

After all, they are all college students now, and everyone is extremely proud and full of confidence, ready to make a big splash after graduation.

As for my old friends who went to the countryside, I'll just let them know when we've arranged to get together, and then I'll treat them to another meal.

After they left, she was finally free from all disturbances and could live her own life. Her neighbors didn't come over to ask anything either, and they didn't bother each other.

Tang Baozhu had a fairly fulfilling four years of university life. Because of her good memory, she majored in English and also learned two other less commonly taught languages.

It seems that even with a good memory, it's difficult to use it harmoniously. It should be possible to learn a small language in a year and a half if you focus on it, but that's only possible if you specialize in learning a language after graduation.

Tang Baozhu found a translation job right after graduating from university. It was the kind of job where she could take the translation home. She also found a nanny who was an excellent cook, so all she had to do was prepare two meals a day.

I collect rent from the shop once a year, and I also get a salary for translating. I hire a nanny who cooks exceptionally well, costing two or three hundred yuan a month. I feel like I can still have a little left over after paying the nanny's salary with my translator's wages.

Every time I ask the nanny to cook, it's eight dishes. I only need to come here to cook two meals a day, and it only takes two hours each time.

At first, the nanny was quite curious, thinking that the little girl was so thin and small, yet she could eat so much. But after getting used to it, she was no longer surprised.

Tang Baozhu definitely couldn't finish it all, so she packed it all up in takeout containers, leaving only one dish for each meal.

That means she can pack 14 meals a day, which adds up to several hundred meals a month.

At other times, the robot does all the housework. When the housekeeper isn't home, the robot comes out to clean the house, and also takes care of the vegetable garden in front of the door and the garden in the back.

Tang Baozhu also brought out the vegetables and meat herself in advance, so the aunt only needed to use them to cook.

After a year of doing nothing, I found another teacher who taught a less common language. Besides translating and studying every day, I would occasionally chat with friends. I have never lost contact with the friends I made when I went to the countryside.

Even though we were taking the exam in another city, we kept in touch through communication.

Later, Tang Baozhu became the landlord of dozens of shops. After her identity was exposed, she encountered many gay men, and even her neighbors suddenly appeared as if they had just emerged.

Everyone was scheming to be her matchmaker, but we all knew what they were really thinking. There were even cases of people climbing over the wall in the middle of the night, and of course, they didn't have a good ending; they were beaten, had their legs broken, and were thrown outside.

Because they were in the wrong, they dared not call the police, much less retaliate.

Although the neighbors dared not do anything, those outside who had a little money still kept watching like flies.

At first, Tang Baozhu ignored their minor squabbles, and this went on for several years. But when things got more and more outrageous, Tang Baozhu hired two retired soldiers to follow her around every day. Fortunately, she rarely went out, maybe only once or twice every ten days or so.

Because they rarely went out, the bodyguards' job was quite easy, leading the two veterans to often say that the job they found was the easiest and paid the highest.

In 1990, the area around the shop was slated for demolition. At that time, demolition was quite profitable, and the owner became instantly wealthy, owning an enormous number of shops and buildings.

Tang Baozhu's life was originally quite stable, but with this demolition and relocation, anyone who knows a little about Tang Baozhu's net worth knows that she has become rich again.

There were more and more small disturbances outside, and sometimes even two security guards weren't enough. Later, Tang Baozhu went all out and, during the demolition, took all the houses in the same community. The entire 20-story building had two apartments on each floor, and they were all hers.

The others just wanted the shops, while the demolition company was more than happy for her to take all the houses, since even the worst person knows that shops are worth much more than houses.

Tang Baozhu lived on the top floor, where an elevator had already been installed. She then hired 20 veterans to live on the 18th and 19th floors. An iron gate was installed on the stairs leading to the 18th floor, preventing people from going up and limiting them to the 17th floor at most.

The elevator is also quite wealthy now, and she's very concerned about her life. She plans to live a long time so she can get more gifts from the group owner.

Moreover, lifespan can be accumulated. In my previous life, I lived to be over 90 years old. In this life, I received a red envelope when I turned 100. Although it seemed a bit like taking advantage of the group owner, I was still quite happy.

Those two veterans who initially followed Tang Baozhu were asked to live across the street. They had known each other for so many years and knew their character well, so they were definitely trustworthy.

Tang Baozhu received compensation during the demolition, but she didn't want that much money. She only needed enough for herself, and she wanted the rest of the shop.

The rent for the shops has been slowly increasing, but after paying them salaries each month, there's more than enough to cover the rent.
