The growth system comes at the age of 30

Chapter 123 Happy to see Hunter
In the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly outside.

In the room.

Chen Jingle was lying in a rocking chair, enjoying the breeze of a fan, eating grapes, and watching a law class video by a professor from the Central University of Political Science and Law on a tablet.

Although the system helped him to quickly memorize a lot of professional knowledge, it could not in a short time match the knowledge level of others who had studied for decades.

Besides, stones from other mountains can be used to polish jade.

Chen Qiyun was doing her homework in the room, and after she finished, she asked Chen Jingle to help her correct it.

With the idea that today is a day off, after correcting the homework, Chen Jingle accompanied her to watch a vlog about foreigners' travel, so that she could relax and improve her English sense at the same time.

The protagonists of this episode are an educated couple from Europe and America. They are willing to spend money on various experiences, and they have a rich vocabulary and a standard accent.

Chen Qiyun suddenly asked curiously, "Are all big cities so prosperous?"

She has never been to other cities and has lived in Jiangbei since she was a child. Her understanding of the outside world can only be based on Jiangbei.

Jiangbei is only a small city in the South East Province, let alone in the whole country or even the world.

In the entire Nandong Province, only the provincial capital and Pengcheng can be considered big cities.

Unfortunately, she has never been to either of them and can only feel the prosperity of the big cities from videos.

Chen Jingle was stunned, then said with a smile: "Big cities are prosperous, but not all of them are prosperous. There are also relatively poor and backward places, but they are not shown on camera."

For example, the urban villages in the provincial capital and the rural areas in the suburbs.

Chen Qiyun was surprised: "Is it more backward than our village?"

Chen Jingle thought for a moment and said, "Backwardness is relative. They just have lower incomes and a slightly worse living environment than other residents in the same city. However, even the backward people in big cities can enjoy the benefits of infrastructure, education, and medical care in big cities, which is far better than rural areas with the same income conditions. This is what the textbooks call the urban-rural development gap."

Chen Qiyun seemed to understand: "It seems that big cities are better."

"You can say that."

Chen Jingle looked at her and asked, "Do you want to study in a big city and live there in the future?"

Chen Qiyun thought for a moment and said, "I don't know."

"Do not know what is this?"

"Well, I want to go to a big city to study, but I don't know if I should live there."

Oh?
Chen Jingle smiled when he heard this: "Then what is the purpose of studying?"

Chen Qiyun tilted her head and thought for a long time: "Get into a good university?"

"What about getting into college? What about further down the road?"

"Hmm... I don't know."

Ok!

Chen Jingle didn't expect a junior high school student to understand much: "It's okay. If you can't think of it, just think about it slowly. Don't be in a hurry. But you have to think it through clearly, understand it, and be firm in this idea. Try not to change it for ten or twenty years."

Chen Qiyun was shocked and then frowned.

This time span is too long for her, and she cannot imagine what it will be like ten or twenty years later.

For her, going to and from school, doing homework and eating every day are obviously more important.

……

Next is the weekend, but it’s a holiday.

Everyone goes to work or school.

Chen Jingle doesn’t have to go to work, but he has to attend classes. What makes him more miserable than others is that he can’t even take a day off and has to attend classes all the time!
At noon, I took some time to go out to a nearby bank and withdraw 500 yuan in cash.

300 of them were used as gifts for the National Day banquet, and the remaining 200 were kept as reserves.

He hasn't touched cash for a long time. Except for giving red envelopes at banquets, he only carries his mobile phone with him wherever he goes.

Now even the grandmas selling vegetables on the street use QR codes, and cash has been basically eliminated.

"I miss the days when I could pick up money on the road!" Chen Jingle sighed.

Unlike now, there was only heaven and earth on the road.

With the end of the long two days before the holiday, the National Day holiday finally arrived.

The students cheered and the working cows and horses breathed a sigh of relief.

The gates of major universities are filled with cars and buses, all of which are students heading home.

Zhong Qing was the last one to leave the dormitory. Li Yuting and the others left in the afternoon.

At 9: in the evening, she dragged her luggage out of the dormitory and found the bus stop at the school gate based on the information in the hometown group.

First sign in with the person in charge, put your luggage away, then get on the bus with your small backpack and find a seat to sit down.

Before getting on the bus, she sent a message to her sister Zhong Jing: "Get ready to go!"

I also told Chen Jingle about it.

Chen Jingle, who was about to go to bed at that time, replied to her with a "safe journey".

Zhong Qing was filled with anticipation at the thought of being able to return to Jiangbei after waking up.

however!
The traffic jam on the road during the National Day holiday was more serious than expected.

The traffic jam started at the entrance of the expressway, and it kept stopping and starting, making it hard to sleep. In the second half of the night, there were fewer cars and the speed slowly increased, but when we were about to get off the expressway at dawn, the traffic jam started again.

Everyone in the car was complaining bitterly.

When Zhong Qing got off the bus, she was sleepy and hungry, with big dark circles under her eyes, and she almost fell headfirst onto the sidewalk.

The original expectations are gone, and it feels like I have survived a disaster.

After a long pause, she took out her cell phone and called: "Hello? Dad, are you here? Oh, I see you."

Across the street, a tall, thin middle-aged man stood next to a gray car and waved at this side.

Zhong Qing hurriedly dragged her suitcase over.

"You came back so late. Was the traffic very congested?" asked Zhong's father.

"Yeah, there was a traffic jam all the way, so I couldn't sleep at all."

Looking at his daughter's face, Mr. Zhong felt distressed: "You've worked so hard. Go home first, take a shower and have a good sleep."

"..."

Zhong Qing put the luggage into the trunk and quickly got into the passenger seat.

At this time, a handsome guy who had just returned from jogging at the Normal College happened to pass by on an electric scooter.

Seeing the tourist bus parked on the side of the road and the young college students, a look of nostalgia flashed in his eyes.

It's just remembrance, not nostalgia.

He hated these old and smelly buses and would rather take a 10-hour hard seat train than take a tourist bus.

"I wonder if Zhong Qing has returned yet?"

I woke up in the morning and didn't see any new messages. I'm afraid she's still stuck on the highway. I hope she didn't drink too much water, or there's a toilet on the bus.

That’s what holiday travel is like, it’s troublesome!

……

We are going to have a banquet at noon.

However, the dinner starts at 12 o'clock, which does not affect the morning schedule.

Chen Jingle taught two classes as usual, then prepared some food for Chen Qiyun. He was busy until after 11:, then he drove his electric scooter to Longcheng International Community in the south of the city.

Target: Longcheng Hotel.

There are different styles in Shili, and different customs in Baili.

In Jiangbei, banquets are generally held at noon, except for the wedding banquet, which is held the night before the wedding.

Chen Jingle parked the car and walked towards the gate. He saw two familiar faces at the door and hurried over to greet them.

"Uncle! Uncle Xing!"

"Jingle?"

The uncle, whose hair had turned gray, held Chen Jingle's hand and looked at him in surprise: "I haven't seen you for a while. How come you have changed so much? I almost didn't recognize you."

Chen Jingle smiled and replied: "It may be because I go to bed early and get up early and exercise regularly recently, so my complexion has improved."

Uncle Axing next to him looked at Chen Jingle with some curiosity, smiled but didn't say anything. He was not good at speaking.

"Aren't your parents back yet?" asked my uncle.

"No, they only have three days off, so they won't travel back and forth."

"That's right. Working is hard enough during normal times. Just take a good rest during the holidays."

Chen Jingle glanced around: "Where is my uncle?"

My uncle said, "They haven't arrived yet. You'll probably have to wait a while. Go in and find a seat first. Your aunt just went in."

"Okay, then you go ahead and do your work. I'll go in first." Chen Jingle nodded quickly.

Both of my uncles came back from the battlefield in the southern jungle and had military merits.

Chen Jingle has always respected and admired them.

Among the guests coming today, many are their old comrades.

Among the old men who were chatting at the door, one of them looked at Chen Jingle's back and asked curiously, "Brother Gui, which relative of yours is this?"

Chen Jingle's great uncle, Li Gui, replied, "He is the eldest grandson of my eldest sister from Niujiaoling."

The skinny old man said: "With this body, it would be a pity not to send him to the army."

Others echoed.

The taller the soldier, the better. Lingnan soldiers are basically around 1.7 meters tall, agile, strong and have great endurance.

The old squad leaders like this the most.

The special forces of each army are basically selected from those between 170-175cm tall, and those tall guys are rarely selected.

Although Jiangbei belongs to Nandong Province, it is located in the western part of the province. Historically, there have not been many generals here, but there is no shortage of soldiers.

For nearly a hundred years, there has been a saying that "Hakka generals are soldiers from western Guangdong."

The veterans present knew that Chen Jingle was a good candidate for the army as soon as they saw his spirit and walking posture.

See the hunting heart happy.

Li Gui shook his head: "The family is counting on him to study, so they won't let him go. And I remember he was very thin when he was studying, but now that he has graduated and worked for a few years, he has become much taller and stronger, which is also strange."

"Hey, studying is hard. It takes a lot of mental and physical effort. It's strange that you gain weight. How old are you this year?"

"I think I'm thirty."

"I can't tell. He looks quite young."

"Yeah, you look younger without having to do hard labor."

"Not married?"

"No, I don't even have a partner. My elder sister and brother-in-law are worried..."

"..."

A group of old men were muttering behind their backs. If they had met Chen Jingle ten years earlier, they would probably have tried every means to send him over.

……

As soon as Chen Jingle entered the hotel, he saw a familiar figure.

It was his aunt Chen Wenjuan, who was standing at the concierge check-in and chatting with someone.

"Auntie!"

The eldest aunt turned around and asked with a smile: "Hey, you're here. Did you drive your electric scooter here by yourself?"

"if not?"

Chen Jingle looked around: "Isn't my aunt here?"

My aunt said, "There was also one at her classmate's place, which happened to be next to her house, so she didn't have time to come."

"Ok."

Chen Jingle picked up the pen on the table, wrote his father's name on the red envelope, and handed it to today's "Minister of Rites".

The Minister of Rites is an old man in his sixties, and he seems to be of the same generation as my great uncle. My aunt should know him.

I just saw them talking and laughing.

The other party took the red envelope from Chen Jingle, took a look at the signature, and said in surprise: "Hey, your handwriting is really good!"
