Most of the time, the countryside is relatively empty and quiet, and sometimes if you speak a little louder, your voice can be heard from far away.

The sound insulation effect of the glass in Chen Jingle's house is actually quite good, but it can't stand people talking loudly downstairs in his house.

From the content of the conversation, we can learn that they are talking about winning the lottery tonight.

The winning mentioned here refers to the lottery.

Locals joked: "People in Jiangbei are born with three options: one is to work in the Pearl River Delta, one is to join the KLF group, and the last one is to buy lottery tickets."

But Chen Jingle was not interested in this.

Even feel disgusted.

To put it bluntly, this kind of thing is gambling.

However, this thing is very popular in the Lingnan area, especially the elderly in rural areas, who are very obsessed with it.

How obsessed are you?

Most of the living expenses given by my children are used to buy this, and I even have to borrow money to buy it.

Around the millennium, many people lost their families because of this.

Everyone dreams of getting rich overnight, and they hold all kinds of so-called secrets and study them over and over again, but in the end, all their money is wasted.

Like being possessed by a demon.

It was not until recent years that this industry was slightly restrained after being hit hard by the authorities many times, but it is still very popular among the people in Lingnan, but has moved into a more secretive underground base.

Why does Chen Jingle know so much?
Because his grandfather liked to buy this before, he often quarreled with his grandmother because of this, and even secretly owed a lot of debts. The family only found out about it when people came to collect the debts at the end of the year.

My second uncle was so angry that he almost fought with him.

I have become a little more restrained now, but I still buy ten or twenty dollars per issue.

"Don't you think it's better to use this money to buy ribs, meat and fish instead of throwing it away?"

Chen Jingle really couldn't understand.

I don't want to listen and I'm too lazy to talk anymore, just do whatever you want.

It's not his money anyway.

……

For a lottery like this, as soon as the results of each draw are announced, someone will bring the news back from the town, shouting all the way to inform everyone of the winning numbers for that night.

To know which village and who has won the prize, just check the numbers you bought.

The reason why everyone is so excited tonight is that someone in the village has won some kind of jackpot, which is said to be worth more than 8,000 yuan.

For the farmers who work hard in the fields, this is quite a lot of money.

The winner is an old man in his seventies named Chen Xi, who is of the same generation as Chen Jingle's grandfather, and whom Chen Xi calls great uncle. He is also a heavy lottery fan who buys numbers for every issue.

He seemed to be dying soon, but he still insisted on driving his tricycle to the market every day to discuss numbers with people.

If I had put this energy into studying, I would have received my diploma from the senior citizens' university long ago.

Chen Jingle's house is only about 100 meters away from Chen Xi's house.

Seeing that everyone was discussing so lively, he curiously opened the window slightly, wanting to hear more clearly.

Everyone has curiosity.

As soon as I opened the window, I heard someone shouting:
"Hahaha, I won! I won!"

"Eight thousand dollars! I won eight thousand dollars! I have eight thousand dollars, I'm going to Chicken Alley to find an eighteen-year-old, an eighteen-year-old! ..."

It was Chen Xi's voice.

Oh~
Does he look anything like Fan Jin, who passed the imperial examination?
It seems that Mr. Fan is also from Lingnan?

Chen Jingle, who had just opened the window, was stunned for a moment: "Did I hear it right? Is it so outrageous?"

The others at the scene were probably even more confused.

You are an old man in your seventies or even eighties, and the first thing you think of after winning the lottery is to go to Piaochang?!

Did something go wrong?
And still thinking about the eighteen-year-old, it’s very... difficult!
This reminded Chen Jingle of a video he had seen online before, which was also about an old man who was about to die. He was leaning on a cane and could not walk anymore, but he still had to look for service.

Oh~
I'm not afraid of dying in there.

Chen Xi's family was originally happy about this unexpected fortune, but when they heard what the old man said, they could no longer hold back.

His wife was so angry that she started cursing.

"If you ask me, you should have died a long time ago. Living till now is just a waste of food for the family..."

Not satisfied with scolding, he started scratching and clawing.

His two sons were also very angry.

It would be fine if he was just going crazy at home, but this happened in front of so many people. It was really embarrassing.

We were all here to congratulate you, but ended up turning into such a farce.

What a shame!

This happy event suddenly turned into a family war...

It’s really hard to judge.

Seeing this, the others took the opportunity to leave quickly, but they must have been laughing in their hearts.

"You're already in your seventies or eighties, and you're still thinking about that. You're really an old pervert!"

"So what if I give you an eighteen-year-old? Can you still get up?"

"..."

The village is so small that anything that happens can spread from one end of the village to the other in a matter of minutes, and can even spread to several surrounding villages!
There is no doubt that tomorrow and for a long time to come, everyone will talk about this as a topic of conversation after dinner.

Chen Jingle shook his head: "Sometimes I really think this world is so fucking crazy."

No wonder everyone says that most people just look like normal people. In fact, they are either fools or crazy. It’s just that they don’t have any attacks that people mistakenly think they are normal people.

It just so happens that these fools and crazy people like to have children, and as a result, there are more and more fools and crazy people in the world.

However, after this incident, Chen Jingle had a good time and the confused, unreal, sleepwalking feeling he had this afternoon suddenly disappeared.

Strange things~
Seeing this, he was too lazy to listen to the noise outside, so he quickly closed the window and continued watching his travel Vlog.

Forget about eating the melon, your own business is more important.

……

I thought this farce was over.

But something unexpected happened!
the next day,
After running and buying groceries in the morning, Chen Jingle came back and heard a piece of news at the Women's Information Center at the entrance of the village that was even more outrageous than last night.

The old man Chen Xi, who won 8,000 yuan, couldn't help himself after all, and secretly got up in the middle of the night and sneaked out to have fun.

What's more!

It is said that he had a stroke in the middle of the struggle, and people were so scared that they called the police on the spot. The people behind him were taken to the hospital by ambulance for emergency treatment.

After receiving the call, the two sons rushed to the hospital overnight to keep watch over the patient, but they don’t know how he is doing now.

His wife didn't go. She scolded him all night long at home and was still scolding him in the morning. She said that she might as well die if she kept scolding him.

The eight thousand yuan I won yesterday is probably not enough to cover the medical expenses, so I’ll have to pay more.

Chen Jingle was stunned after hearing this.

"real or fake?"

"Can this world get any crazier?"

For the first time, he doubted whether he was living in a real world. Why did the recent events seem more abstract than the last?
Just at this moment, Liang Cheng sent a message:

"Oh my god, I just heard that an old man in Jiangbei had a stroke and was taken away by an ambulance!"

Chen Jingle: “…”

No, it spread so quickly?
But I dare not say that I am from my village, it is too embarrassing.

I couldn't help but ask him, "How did you know that?"

Liang Cheng: "It's all over the WeChat Moments and local groups. Someone also posted it on Douyin. I saw it there. It's so funny."

Chen Jingle: “…”

Don't laugh yet.

The name of our village should not have been mentioned, right?

No? No?

If it is mentioned, we will have to move out overnight, right?
Chen Jingle pinched his brows, it was too hard to hold them together. If this kind of melon happened somewhere else, he would be willing to eat it along with them. But it happened to him, involved his own village, and was in the middle of a melon field, it was not so pleasant.

Shame on you!
I opened Douyin and searched, and sure enough, I saw a lot of people discussing this matter, and many of them were surprised at the scene.

Fortunately, the name of their village was not mentioned, and no villager revealed their shortcomings.

"so far so good."

Chen Jingle felt relieved, but he was curious: "Since the incident has become so serious, I wonder if they will take any action against those people?"

Well, I think the possibility is very small, at least don't hold on to it too high.

There is a greater possibility of cracking down on unfair service industries.

"If it really doesn't work, those in the village who are addicted to winning prizes can learn from this and restrain themselves a little."

But Chen Jingle felt that the more likely possibility was that they only saw the eight thousand yuan.

Expect a group of blind people to wake up on their own?

A bit whimsical.

"What are your plans for today?"

"Continue reading at home, what about you?"

"Already in the hospital, bring Mingyue to the hospital for examination."

Chen Jingle suddenly became a little nervous: "What happened to Xiao Mingyue?"

"No, just a routine physical examination for the child." Liang Cheng replied.

Chen Jingle felt relieved: "It's good that you're alright."

“But I feel like there’s something wrong with me.”

"Ah? What's wrong with you?" Chen Jingle became nervous again.

Liang Cheng sent a big dark-eye emoji: "My sleep quality has been very poor recently. I feel like I'm dying."

Chen Jingle was startled: "Don't talk nonsense, I saw you were fine last night."

Liang Cheng's words revealed a sense of fatigue: "Well, on the surface it seems nothing, but I feel that there is something wrong with my personal state. I am very anxious. Maybe the hyperthyroidism has relapsed. I have to check it out too."

Chen Jingle became a little worried after hearing this.

However, he didn't know much about medicine, so he could only say, "Let's check it out first. I hope it's okay."

Liang Cheng: "It's okay actually, I just don't like taking medicine."

"You are an adult now, just follow the doctor's orders. You have to eat even if you don't like it. Wait until you get better."

"..."

……

After finishing the conversation, Chen Jingle stared at the air for a while.

Suddenly I remembered that the term sub-health seems to be rarely mentioned these days.

Is everyone used to it?

It seems that everyone has some physical problems, such as frozen shoulder, cervical spondylosis, lumbar muscle strain, etc. Even if there are no physical problems, there will be psychological problems, such as depression, bipolar disorder, and so on.

“Everyone seems to be having a hard time.”

Chen Jingle was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted.

If the system had not appeared, he would have been just like everyone else, living with a bunch of diseases that were not fatal but were a mess, and struggling to survive.

It was the emergence of the system that gave him the opportunity to start over and transform himself.

But more often, he uses the system as an auxiliary learning tool to learn various knowledge and build his own knowledge system.

Too focused on acquiring knowledge and ignoring the changes in one's own body.

The changes it brought to my body are also very obvious.

It may also be that he has become accustomed to the existence of the system, making him feel that all these changes seem natural.

Because he felt that he had put in the effort and completed the task, it was normal to get feedback.

But these are opportunities that ordinary people don't have.

I am the lucky one!

It was the system that successfully helped him get rid of his former failed self.

Chen Jingle patted his head and said, "It seems that there have been too many things going on recently. I am indeed a little confused and my mentality is not right."

All in all, he was a little too proud and blinded by his temporary achievements.

Of course, there is another reason.

He is just a little tired of the system's reward content.

Although there are indeed some new rewards occasionally, such as removing moisture from the body, kidney care, vision enhancement, etc.

A floating mentality is a direct manifestation of aesthetic fatigue.

but,

When Chen Jingle really looked at the changes in himself and compared them with himself two weeks ago, he realized how huge and obvious these changes were.

At the same time, he understood that all of this, in addition to his own efforts, was mostly given by the system.

The system's transformation of him is comprehensive and multi-faceted, far more powerful than targeting only one aspect.

But his own efforts are actually not enough!
Chen Jingle looked at himself in the mirror, naked, having just come out of the shower, and checked himself from front to back.

The changes are not that big.

His face is very clean, handsome and pleasing to the eye, his complexion is very good, his skin is very clean, healthy and fair, and his muscle lines are gradually becoming more obvious...

I am almost a completely different person from before.

He felt like he was evolving.

Evolving towards a perfect state, in this process, all imperfections will be eliminated.

Suddenly I remembered a sentence on my computer wallpaper: "Don't ask for a huge change, just a little bit of transformation."

This is the first time I have seen a quantitative change to a qualitative change, and it is so vividly reflected in myself.

He mentioned before the two motivational factors of "internal drive" and "external drive". This time, looking at himself in the mirror, he felt that his "internal drive" was stronger than ever before.

“We need to work harder!”

Even if it's just to be able to lie down better in the future.

The two are not completely in conflict.

As a result, Chen Jingle's enthusiasm for the next schedule was greatly improved.

In addition to tutoring Chen Qiyun in her homework, she also takes her work very seriously, including cooking.

It's no longer a simple mess.

Although I don’t know how long he can last, as of now, it should at least last for a while, until the next time he has a mental problem.

Chen Jingle felt that he had realized something.

Life is a process of constantly improving oneself.

Don't be discouraged by temporary setbacks, and don't be complacent because of temporary gains.

When the ice still covers the North Sea, you should see the plum blossoms in full bloom; when you reach the top of the mountain, don’t forget the way you came.

At least when he looks back on it and recalls an important moment, he won't feel regret for not having tried his best.

that's enough!
"Is the food delicious tonight?"

At the dinner table, Chen Jingle asked Chen Qiyun.

"It's delicious! It tastes better than what I had at noon! And it looks good too!"

"If it tastes good, eat more~"

“Hmm, does this dish have a name?”

"It's called the Green Pearl Fish Flower."

The top dishes of Huaiyang cuisine.

I have already said to try my best, so of course I have to try my best when cooking.

　I consulted someone about some legal information, and we talked for a long time in the evening, so I delayed the update. I'm really sorry, I only have 8000 today, and I have to attend a banquet during the day on the 17th. I'll see how much I can write when I come back. Thank you all for your subscriptions and monthly tickets, I'll try my best!
