The system remained silent for a long time, and Shen Cui smiled heartily without caring.
Anyway, it was because of the system that our second fat man came back to life, so it’s worth it to kowtow these three times.
When Chen Cui was about to let Er Pang continue practicing calligraphy, the system said: [I can only give you a few days of trial in advance. Once the host completes the task and the shopping points arrive in the account, I will deduct them immediately! 】
[System prompt: Obtain a set of special study tables and chairs. 】
Somehow, even though the tone of the system didn't change much, Shen Cui still heard a tone of gnashing teeth and helplessness.
[Knock, knock!] I will definitely pay it back! 】Chen Cui suppressed her laughter, [Besides, if I don’t complete the mission, I will be sent back to my original body to wait for death. Now you have sent me... no, you have lent us a desk to use. The mission will definitely be completed faster. 】
After waiting for a few seconds and not hearing the system's reply, Shen Cui was too embarrassed to bother him anymore, so she just smiled and said to Er Pang: "Pang, Mom secretly prepared a gift for you this year!"
When he heard that there were gifts to be received, Mu Erpang immediately forgot what his mother had told him to worship the god of numbers.
Shen Cui asked him to wait for a while and went to the next door.
The Mu family's house was renovated two years ago after Mu Yunchuan got engaged. The two brothers each had their own room. It was after winter that Mu Erpang was moved to the main house by the original owner in order to avoid heating two kangs.
After the Spring Festival, the weather will become warmer and warmer, and clothes will naturally become thinner and thinner. It will obviously be inconvenient for the mother and son to live together again.
Shen Cui simply put the set of study desks and chairs in Mu Erpang's bedroom, and then asked him to come over and take a look.
Mu Erpang ran over happily, his eyes suddenly lit up!
The system description never lies. Although this table and chair is made in the style of an ordinary wooden table and chair without any fine carvings, the wood has excellent moisture and looks lustrous. And in order to accommodate Mu Erpang's current short stature, the sizes of the tables and chairs are smaller than those for normal adults.
Especially since Mu Erpang had a chubby belly, and there happened to be an arc on one side of the desk, when he stood in front of the desk, his chubby belly could just fit inside, which was perfect!
And the armchair with a backrest is even more wonderful.
Although it is smaller than the chair for adults, considering Erpang's body shape, the chair is deeper than the one for children.
The chair looks like wood and feels like wood, but as long as you sit on it, you will not feel uncomfortable at all. Whether you sit upright or lean back, it is extremely comfortable no matter how you sit on it!
"The table is great, and the chairs are so comfortable! This is too good to be true, how can it be so good?!" Mu Erpang couldn't let go and touched every place on the table and chair that he could touch, then stood up and let Chen Cui try it.
Because it was not tailor-made for Shen Cui, Shen Cui could not feel the exaggerated sense of fit that Er Pang mentioned.
But I have to admit that the things from the higher planes are really amazing. That chair with a backrest looks like it’s made of wood, but its comfort is no less than any expensive gaming chair or ergonomic chair in later generations.
While Chen Cui was sitting down, Mu Erpang quickly ran to the main room and brought back pen, ink and calligraphy.
Shen Cui stood up and returned the seat to him.
Mu Erpang could hardly wait to sit down and continue tracing.
In the past, he always felt powerless when working on the kang table, and was also afraid that the ink would stain the kang, so he always felt restrained and unable to move forward.
Mu Erpang didn't know why, but as long as he got close to the table and chairs, he felt particularly peaceful. The only thing in his mind was practicing calligraphy, which made him particularly focused.
He didn't know why, but Shen Cui naturally knew.
The state behind Mu Erpang's mood value at this time is what the system describes as being calm and focused.
I have to say, this 500 yuan shopping spot is really worth it!
The system complained: [Where did the host spend five hundred? Hosting is now free to try! 】
[I know, I know. I’ll start now!] 】
Without Chen Cui's urging, Mu Erpang had already started practicing calligraphy.
He usually had a lazy smile on his chubby face, but at this moment the smile faded, his eyes became serious, his thin lips were slightly pursed, and he really had an aura that made people dare not disturb him.
Shen Cui unconsciously moved more lightly, went out to fetch a bench, and sat next to him to stop disturbing him.
According to the calligraphy practice task issued by the system, Mu Erpang has to write three pieces a day on average. He usually spend a whole day writing and can just finish it.
At this moment, he sat down at the desk that was tailor-made for him, still working as seriously as before, but much faster.
He started writing after returning from the city in the afternoon, and by dark he had finished a normal day's worth of writing.
The sky outside was getting dark. Mu Erpang finally put down his pen with a feeling of unfulfilled desire and muttered, "Time flies by so fast. Before I even noticed it, it was already dark."
After saying that, he turned around again and smiled flatteringly at Shen Cui: “Mom, I’m really not tired, how about I write for a while longer?”
Just as Shen Cui was about to reject her out loud, the system popped up another window for her.
[Item name: Special lighting candle.] 】
[Item description: Special lighting equipment. Reading or writing under this equipment will not affect your eyesight. Moreover, although it is made into a candle style suitable for this plane, the loss is extremely low. One stick can be used for several years. 】
【Item price: 200 points.】 】
A candle can be used for several years, and you don’t have to worry about myopia problems. The price is certainly very affordable!
Do you want to buy one now?
As Shen Cui was thinking this, the pop-up window closed by itself.
The system said: [The host is now in negative assets, I just let you take a look. 】
Shen Cui: ...
Tsk, you’re quite vindictive!
Shen Cui turned her head unconsciously to look at Mu Erpang while thinking about something, and the system popped up another message for her -
【System prompt: 962464 has been added as a banned word.】 】
She really wasn't going to use the same trick a second time!
…………
The meal at Shen's house was very sumptuous at noon, but Shen Cui couldn't eat anything greasy for dinner.
In addition, she didn't have the skills to cook any delicious food at the moment, so Shen Cui took out a few large white steamed buns that Zheng had stuffed into her when she left the Shen family, and simply steamed them.
I just had salted duck eggs and pickles to get by with the meal.
Mu Erpang is not picky about food. He eats whatever is given to him and eats it with relish.
Farmers work from sunrise to sunset and rest from sunrise to sunset. After dark, everything outside suddenly becomes quiet.
After Mu Erpang lay on the kang, although he was so sleepy that he was dazed, he still said excitedly: "The set of tables and chairs that mother bought for me is really good. The more I use it, the better it feels. Mother loves me, so I save money. So I want to practice more. Mother, can you let me write a little longer every day? I promise, I will stop as long as I am tired."
Chen Cui reached out and tucked the corner of his quilt. "Okay, then mother promises you that when you finish those red copybooks in the next few days, I will buy you some better candles so that you can learn more at night in the future."
Mu Erpang smiled and nodded. Just when Shen Cui thought he was about to fall asleep, she heard Mu Erpang suddenly mutter, "Mom, did that table cost you a lot of money?"
Shen Cui asked him why he asked this?
After all, Mu Erpang had only recently opened his mind, and there were many things he couldn’t think of for the time being.
"I heard it from my great aunt. She said that things related to education are very expensive and cost a lot of money." As he spoke, Mu Erpang vaguely remembered that his parents often quarreled about his eldest brother's studies. He didn't understand at the time and just felt that their quarrels made him unable to sleep well.
"Yes, it costs money." Shen Cui didn't treat him as a fool, but it was not easy to tell him about the system, so she said, "But mother can afford it. Besides, there are your grandma and grandpa. They are like mother, supporting our second fat man to study. I hope our second fat man will become smarter and smarter."
"Then I will study harder and never let my mother and grandma and grandpa down!"
After Mu Erpang made the promise, he soon began to snore.
He really is just as the system said, a pure heart.
I made this promise before going to bed, and woke up earlier than Shen Cui the next morning.
And he only stayed in bed for a quarter of an hour before he fumbled his way out of it and put on his clothes and shoes.
After getting dressed, Mu Erpang tied his hair himself and wanted to go to the kitchen to boil some hot water so that his mother could use it to wash when she woke up.
However, Chen Cui was not very familiar with the matter of making fire, so after Mu Erpang tried it for a while and failed, he didn't dare to try again.
When Shen Cui woke up, Mu Erpang had already finished practicing one move and his hands were frozen cold.
She quickly went to boil some hot water, and the mother and son washed up one after another. She then filled him with a hot water bottle and covered him with it.
This time, there was no need for a system pop-up window, so Shen Cui opened the mall herself, and sure enough, the homepage had what she needed.
For example, a constant temperature hot pack, as long as it is placed at hand, the temperature around the user will become pleasant.
Another example is a cup that can boil water and keep it warm without using electricity.
These things can also be used for a long time, so the selling price starts from three figures.
In addition, there were special candles that she had promised to buy for Mu Erpang. Shen Cui silently calculated the price and felt that she should work harder on the task.
This day was the second day of the Chinese New Year, the day when married women returned home, so Chen Cui brought Mu Erpang into the city.
The Shen family in Chahu Lane was a bit deserted today. Both Chen and Li had taken their husbands and children back to their parents' homes.
So Shen Cui and Mu Erpang didn't rush to leave after dinner. They waited until lunch when everyone from both families came back before returning to the village.
On the way back to the city this time, Mu Erpang had to rest several times along the way. Today he was really eager to go home, so he pulled Chen Cui and trotted back home, then went straight into his bedroom.
Seeing that he had become more and more capable in the past few days, Shen Cui stopped staring at him and called out the system.
[The last task of studying needlework and cooking said that I have to choose at least one to study, which means I can also study needlework, right? 】
[This is of course the host.] 】The system said and played the previously released side quest to Chen Cui again.
Shen Cui clicked on the [Needlework] option.
Soon, this option appeared on her personal data panel.
【Sewing Value】: 0
[Skill Evaluation]: A pair of hands cursed by this world. Even the simplest needlework will not be successful if it falls into these hands.
[Next level]: Junior tailor.
[Proficiency]: 0/10
【Suggested production】: Handkerchief, headband, purse...
Not surprisingly, the original body's needlework skills were just as bad as hers.
The last time Shen Cui saw her cooking skills panel, she was very discouraged. The system immediately said appropriately: [Host, don’t be discouraged. As long as you do more and practice more, your needlework skills will improve quickly. You see, there are special needles and fabrics in the mall, and the price is not expensive. They are very suitable for practicing, and the things made will also have a beneficial effect on the training object. 】
[Didn’t you just say that I’m on credit and have a negative asset, and I can’t use my existing shopping points? 】Shen Cui asked while suppressing her laughter.
In fact, she knew the answer, because the side quest was meant to cheat her of shopping points, just like practicing cooking before, you would be given 100 points, and then it would cost you 30 points for each practice, and then you would be given a rating that would make it impossible for you to eat. Practicing more than a few times would definitely not be worth it, so of course the system would make it easy for her in this regard.
The system naturally couldn't say it directly, so it just said awkwardly; [Well, since these materials are not expensive, just like the ingredients, one serving only costs 10 points. 】
Before the system could be carefully promoted, Shen Cui directly closed the light curtain.
[Don't waste your breath. I don't want to spend shopping points on this side quest for now. Anyway, this task has no time limit. I will come back when I have more points. 】
[If the host doesn't want to do the mission, why would he accept it...]
At this point, the system froze for a moment, and he understood.
The needlework side quest is the same as the cooking side quest. As long as she chooses to accept it, she can directly get 100 shopping points!
This host is taking advantage of the system again!
