Gongsun Dong never imagined that he would actually leave the farm one day, and he hugged the old man who came to pick him up tightly.
"Young master, you have suffered. The bad guys have been punished, and a new era has begun."
"Don't call me Young Master, call me Comrade Gongsun. And where is the inheritance my father left me?"
Gongsun Dong couldn't wait to take over the wealth; tears streamed down his face as he eagerly awaited the arrival of this old man, Mr. Tang.
The other NPCs on the farm hid together, watching Gongsun Dong from afar. "That kid's finally gone, phew~"
"That's right. Recently, we've been heating the kang (a traditional heated bed) at night, and he kicks off the blankets every day. I'm the one who covers him back up."
"I don't know why this kid cries every day. Once, he lost his cow, and I was the one who found it for him."
Suddenly, Gongsun Dong turned around and waved to the spot where the NPCs were hiding, "Goodbye, everyone!! I'll come see you again next time!!"
He watched the NPCs instantly shrink back behind the house and couldn't help but laugh. Although these NPCs were a bit bad at acting, they were still nice people. It was just that their dodging skills were terrible. If he hadn't been crying every time, he would have told them long ago that hiding like that wouldn't work.
Gongsun Dong finally entered the small Western-style building, but the interior decoration was not as luxurious as it had been in the first season. It had a simple feel to it. He took out the so-called property from the secret compartment and couldn't help but cry.
Gongsun Dong searched the villa all day but couldn't find a single gold bar. He enjoyed no blessings but suffered just as much hardship.
He couldn't help but cry again.
[Haha, who would have thought this asset would actually be a red book?! Amazing!!]
[Such a huge box for just one book?! This is simply...amazing!!]
[This crying scene looks much more genuine. Back when it was on the farm, her crying scenes later on all looked a bit fake. (Watching the drama unfold.JPG)]
[Indeed, this is a valuable asset; spiritual wealth is priceless.]
[This kid's got some luck; he's partnered with Liu Erzhuang to speculate in the real estate market.]
[No, where did Gongsun Dong get the money? His family doesn't have any money at all, does they?]
He mortgaged his villa, used the money to invest in the real estate market with Liu Erzhuang.
You know what, the new park is really nice. The cement roads look so clean and tidy, making this old park look all dusty and grimy in comparison.
It's wonderful to see them buy a house and move in; it fills me with joy.
Weren't the old buildings all unfurnished? It feels like you could just buy some furniture and move in immediately.
Shi Hongmei recently made some money, and as soon as she saw the new industrial park open, she decisively bought a house. However, she did not pay in full, but instead paid a down payment and will slowly pay off the loan, since she still has to run her business.
She called to the other NPCs, "Hurry up and let's go to the new house!"
Finally, we can say goodbye to the dry toilet!! But she hasn't bought a TV or washing machine yet. After all, a TV costs four hundred yuan, and she's busy going out to earn money every day, so she doesn't have time to watch TV.
Shi Hongmei also rented a storefront next to the DV hall, planning to set up a small supermarket so that people who watched DV could buy some snacks and drinks.
Wow, this journey from the village to the commune, and then to the new industrial park, feels like a dream!
Indeed, it felt like stepping back thirty years in an instant. The houses back then weren't bare shells; the walls were plastered white, the floors were cement, the windows were single-pane with wrought-iron railings, and there was that street vendor collecting gas cylinders—it all felt so real!
[Great, seeing the wages of contestants and NPCs still working in the factory skyrocket.]
[The group of kids on the street were watching with such curiosity that it reminded me of myself. I used to stand in front of a DV store watching movies on the TV inside, without popcorn or cola, but I still enjoyed it immensely.]
"Would you like the kids to come in and have a look?"
The children were huddled together, and Su Zhenhua was also at the back. "How much does it cost?"
"One dollar per person."
The children next to Su Zhenhua started taking money out of their pockets. "Can't you give the kids a discount?"
The video arcade clerk smiled kindly and said, "Sure, eight cents each."
What kinds of movies are there?
"Kung Fu martial arts films, zombie films, police and gangster films, there are many types. There aren't many people here now, so I can recommend some to you."
Several children eagerly paid their money, chattering amongst themselves, "I want to watch a zombie movie!"
"No, I'm scared! I want to see a fight! The kind that's super cool!"
"I want to watch the kind where the police catch thieves!"
Finally, they decided to watch a police thriller.
The shop assistant kindly reminded them, "Aren't you going to buy something to eat? You'll have to pay again if you come back in."
Su Zhenhua then realized that this was different from modern movie theaters where you pay per show; it was one yuan to watch for a whole day!
A group of people rushed to the small shop next door. Shi Hongmei was smiling as she counted the money, while several NPC sons and daughters were moving and unloading goods.
[Wow, that's cheap! One dollar is enough to watch all day!!]
They were so kind. When we were kids, our parents wouldn't let us go to video arcades, saying they weren't places for respectable people. My brother and I would just peek through the crack in the door.
[Haha, of course we're not allowed to go anymore. Back then, video arcades could show movies that we couldn't talk about, but these definitely aren't available here.]
[They pay to watch it, I don't have to, hehe. It's actually a story about the police. Brother Long looked so young back then. Come to think of it, it's been a long time since I've seen him.]
Don't be surprised how interesting the old-fashioned martial arts were!
[The convenience store even has bubble gum and instant noodles! Wow~ I wonder if any of you guys collected Water Margin cards back in the day? How come you could never collect them all?]
