The world begins with refining skills

Chapter 14 Traveling Far Away
Sure enough, Feng Huacheng started causing trouble again after his detention. This time it was more serious. Even Zhou Rong was put under surveillance in the countryside.

I don’t know if it’s hard to run with a child, or if it’s bad to leave the child behind and run alone.

In short, Zhou Rong failed to go find Feng Huacheng this time.

It was not until October that Feng Huacheng was released, and Mu Sheng did not pay any more attention to what happened afterwards.

August 1979, Jichun, Guangzi piece.

The alleys, which were originally narrow, have become even narrower as most of them have been encroached upon to build houses.

Pushing the cart and strolling in the alley, watching the bricks and tiles in front of me change from unfamiliar to familiar.

Mu Sheng suddenly felt a little reluctant. In the blink of an eye, he had been in this world for almost ten years.

A lot of things have happened in the past few years. First, the college entrance examination was resumed at the end of 77, and Mu Sheng also took the exam.

As expected, I was admitted to Tsinghua University.

Before Mu Sheng traveled through time, he had been admitted to a 211 university and had started preparing many years in advance.

In the first year after the resumption of the college entrance examination, the test was simple due to special circumstances.

It would be a miracle if Mu Sheng failed the exam, but he did not go to college.

When I was preparing for the exam, I was thinking that it would be easier to change the plot so that I wouldn't have to clean up Zhou Rong's mess and take care of the children.

But now the whole plot has been messed up, and the energy for time travel has accumulated enough.

Mu Sheng was too lazy to go to college, even Tsinghua University.

Because I didn't owe Cai Xiaoguang a favor like in the original book, we haven't had much contact over the years.

Cai Xiaoguang is Zhou Rong's bootlicker and not a member of the Zhou family, so naturally he would not take the initiative to contact Mu Sheng.

So the factory wouldn't let Cai Xiaoguang go because of his background, and Mu Sheng didn't help him when he couldn't go to college.

I don’t know whether Zhou Rong was not approached or not, but the matter was not approached to the Hao family.

In addition, the Zhou family had already known in advance that Hao Dongmei was infertile, so there was no reason for the Hao family to deliberately avoid meeting her.

The two parents got to meet each other, which made Mu Sheng feel a little regretful.

He was originally planning to write a letter of complaint or something to stir up some trouble, but what a pity, readers just love to read this kind of thing.

After riding all the way back home and parking the bike, Mu Sheng took a package from the back seat.

There are some odds and ends in there, like cups, towels and so on.

"Mom, Juan'er, I'm back." As soon as he entered the door, he saw Li Suhua and Zheng Juan already waiting for him.

"Bingkun, are you really going to resign just like that?"

"Yes, I quit. Didn't I tell you yesterday?"

"You're going to quit a good job just like that? You're not going to support the family anymore? What's going to happen to Juan'er and An'an?"

"Mom, don't worry about this. Didn't the newspaper say it some time ago? Now is a great time. I'm going to Shenzhen to make a lot of money, and then I'll buy you a small Western-style house." Mu Sheng comforted Li Suhua confidently.

"It's not easy to make money. I can't control you now. You finally got admitted to university two years ago, but you didn't go to college. Even your father can't control you, what can I do?" Li Suhua sighed repeatedly.

Mu Sheng shook his head helplessly. It would take the old lady a few months to accept this.

He gave Zheng Juan a look, indicating that she should go and comfort him.

He went to the inner room to see his son.

A little guy who looked stronger than his peers was lying on the kang, working on his homework.

Zhou An is seven years old this year. He started school last year and has just been promoted to the second grade.

Thanks to the influence of Mu Sheng since childhood, his grades are pretty good.

"An An, do your homework."

The little guy looked up, saw Mu Sheng, and rushed over happily. "Dad, you're back."

Mu Sheng touched his son's head and asked, "Are you happy at school today?"

"Happy today"

At night, the stars are exceptionally bright tonight.

Zheng Juan's thirst for knowledge was particularly strong tonight, and she asked questions one after another. Mu Sheng took great pains to satisfy her thirst for knowledge.

After several attempts, Zheng Juan was sweating profusely and finally gave up. The weather was too hot, otherwise she could have studied for another half an hour.

She lay on top of Mu Sheng, using her husband's cool body to drive away the heat.

Although she was already used to the strange phenomenon of Mu Sheng's body being warm in winter and cool in summer, Zheng Juan couldn't help but touch him again.

"What's wrong? Do you want to continue?"

"Ah, no, no, I can't do it anymore." Zheng Juan quickly refused:

"Bingkun, are you really going to Shenzhen? Shenzhen sounds so far away."

Mu Sheng knew Zheng Juan’s worries. In that era when transportation was underdeveloped, every long journey was a farewell.

"Don't worry, you've seen the news. Now is a good opportunity. I can definitely make money. When I make money, we'll buy a small house. I've had enough of living in a movie theater."

"I don't want a big house. This is good enough now." Zheng Juan said in a low voice.

Mu Sheng used his arms to hold her tighter.

"You have to leave eventually. The performance of each factory is getting worse and worse. You don't know when the factory will close. If you don't quit now, you will be laid off in the future."

"No way, how could the factory be closed? There are so many workers. If they were all laid off, it would be a big deal."

"Nothing is impossible. The household contract responsibility system has been in place for more than a year. No one would have believed it at the beginning, but now we are used to it."

Zheng Juan couldn't imagine how terrible it would be if the factory was really gone, but in her heart she already believed in Mu Sheng's judgment.

"Well, how about I go to Shenzhen with you? I can cook and do the laundry."

"No, the family can't do without you. An An is still young, and your mother has not been in good health in the past two years." Mu Sheng kissed Zheng Juan's forehead: "Just help me take care of the house. By the way, if your mother is really dead, you can take Guangming over. Don't let him live alone in Taiping Hutong, okay?"

Zheng Juan was somewhat tempted. Her mother's health was indeed getting worse and worse, and it was hard to say whether she could survive the New Year. Guangming's eyes were completely blind now, but she was still worried.

"No need. Guangming is old enough now and can take care of himself. I'll just go over to see him every day. It's not convenient to live here."

"What's so inconvenient about this? It's just right for him to live in the same room with An An. Mom likes him too, so she will definitely agree. I'm just worried that Guangming will feel uncomfortable and unwilling. Then it'll all be up to you as her sister."

"Okay." Zheng Juan looked at Mu Sheng sweetly.

A few days later, at Jichun Railway Station.

It was another farewell, but before Mu Sheng was the one seeing him off, but now he was being seen off.

"An An, you will be the only man in the family from now on. Take good care of mom and grandma, and keep practicing the exercises that dad taught you, okay?"

"Well, Dad, please come back early." Little Zhou An tried hard to hold back his tears.

Mu Sheng doesn't think he is a particularly sentimental person, but his eyes couldn't help but become a little moist.

It was not until the train was about to start that Mu Sheng said goodbye to the people who were reluctant to leave and boarded the train to leave for home.

The green train rumbled away into the distance, and only then did Mu Sheng feel a little nervous.

After all, in the early days of reform and opening up, when the rules are most confusing, the most profitable places are also the most dangerous.

There are dragons and snakes mixed together, and the sweet smell of money always attracts ferocious hyenas.

Fortunately, Mu Sheng also has someone to rely on.
