Chapter 1,335 New World: Traveling from South to North
Chapter 1337 New World: Traveling from South to North
After returning to the real world, Zhou Chen accompanied Li Luo to visit the capital for more than a week. The two of them visited various scenic spots in the capital and had a great time.
After staying in the capital for nearly twenty days, Zhou Chen and Li Luo got on the plane to Shanghai again.
More than two months have passed since they set off, and their travel expenses along the way have reached hundreds of thousands. This means that their current conditions are very good. An ordinary family would simply not be able to afford such expenses.
In the first class flight to Shanghai, Zhou Chen looked at Li Luo who had fallen asleep beside him, so he closed his eyes and communicated with the system.
"System, start traveling."
In the summer of 1977, Zhou Chen opened his eyes on a large iron bed that had rusted and peeled paint. What he saw was the roof beams that were much higher than those of commercial buildings. Some of the white paint on the walls had fallen off, revealing the interior.
Cement wall and red bricks.
With just one glance, he roughly concluded that he must have arrived in a relatively poor place, or in a backward era.
A group of memories was quickly fused by him, and then he knew his current situation.
The person has not changed, and the name has not changed, but he is much younger.
Zhou Chen, nineteen years old, is a resident of a railway compound in Ningyang City, Liaoning Province. He has just graduated from the police academy and is about to report to the police force of the Ningyang Railway Public Security Branch to become a glorious railway policeman.
The family background is also very simple. My father used to be a railway policeman, but a few years ago, when he was arresting a robber on the train, he was stabbed by a robber. Later, rescue efforts failed and he died heroically.
It is precisely because of this that Zhou Chen's family has been taken care of and they still live in the railway compound. They own a house in the compound and a small courtyard.
As for my mother, she was originally a housewife. Her health was not very good in her early years. After her husband passed away, she became ill with longing for her and her health became even worse. Last winter, she passed away just a few days after the Spring Festival.
So now he is the only one in his family, which saves a lot of trouble for Zhou Chen.
It was the end of August 1977, at the end of the 1970s, and it was also an important period in the country, because not long after, the college entrance examination, which had been suspended for ten years, was about to be held again, as well as a series of other important things.
Once again, he traveled to the Northeast in the 1970s. This was no stranger to Zhou Chen, because he had lived in the Northeast for many years in several worlds.
He is about to become a glorious railway policeman. In this era, this profession is definitely a real iron rice bowl, and it is the kind that can last until old age.
Speaking of which, this is not the first time for him to be a policeman, but it is indeed the first time that a policeman in the 1970s was a railway policeman.
He has experienced this era many times and is very aware of the importance of the Northeast Railway. Jobs on the railway are what countless people in the Northeast aspire to, and the pay is also very good.
Most of the trains in Northeast China in this era are still green trains and steam trains, which are slow, loud, puffing out mist, energy-saving and environmentally friendly...
Although Zhou Chen had never experienced being a police officer on a train in this era, he could imagine that it was not an easy task.
Because the steam passenger trains of this era often had more than a dozen carriages, which were very difficult to manage, the ticket inspection system was imperfect, and the personnel were complicated and chaotic. Anyone could get on the train, which could easily lead to illegal crimes.
They come, the security.
Zhou Chen didn't think too much. The most important thing now was to figure out which film and television world he had traveled to and what kind of mission he had to complete.
"System, open the panel."
Host: Zhou Chen
Attributes
Strength:52
Constitution: 52
Spirit:50
Agility:50
Points remaining: 3
Skill;
…………
Nine times out of ten you lose:…………
Third Floor Killer: When the host jumps from the third floor (regular floor), he will definitely not be seriously injured, only sprained feet at most.
Iron rice bowl: The end of the universe is the system.
Side missions:
Do what you do and love what you do: The host is about to start his first career as a railway police officer. The host is asked to work in this career for at least five years.
Good Uncle Ma: Ma Kui is a good man who has experienced suffering and pain. Such a good man deserves a good ending.
Having accumulated a total of eighteen attribute points before, Zhou Chen increased all his attributes to over fifty. After adding so many attribute points, he also gained a lot of experience.
Adding physical fitness is the most cost-effective, because a stronger constitution will affect the improvement of strength and agility. Adding strength and agility will have a minimal impact on physical fitness, and the spirit is relatively independent. He can still exercise at the beginning.
Improve it a bit. Now besides adding points, it is difficult to improve your spirit.
Therefore, among the four attributes, spirit is the most difficult to improve.
There are three tasks in total, one main task and two side tasks.
The main mission this time is somewhat interesting, Iron Rice Bowl: The End of the Universe is Organization.
Zhou Chen has heard this description frequently, whether in the real world or the film and television world.
Although this sentence is a bit exaggerated, under the modern national conditions of our country, this sentence still makes sense. Establishment may not make you rich, but it will definitely make you the most stable, and you will have face when speaking out, especially
In the eyes of the older generation, they value the hot cakes in the blind date market.
Having traveled through so many film and television worlds, he has created a system more than once, but rarely maintains it to the end. The path he takes most often is business.
Except of course the ancient world.
There are three tasks, the main task and the first side task, both of which are related to occupations. I can’t tell which film and television world they are in. The second side task has a name.
Ma Kui, Uncle Ma.
This name seemed unfamiliar to Zhou Chen. He thought about it seriously, but he didn't feel familiar at first.
There were still three plot cards anyway, so he didn't bother to save them and just used the plot cards.
‘Come south and north.’
After using the plot card, I immediately knew that the film and television world I traveled through was from south to north. This is a period drama that takes place on the Northeast Railway.
'In the late 1970s, on a steam train from Ningyang to Harbin, young police officer Wang Xinzheng was on duty seriously among the bustling passengers. He mistakenly mistook old railway police officer Ma Kui for a fugitive, and the two started a fight.
The relationship between a master and an apprentice who did not know each other. From not being able to understand each other to being sympathetic to each other, Wang Xin and Ma Kui fought side by side on the front line of railway police. They fought against gangsters, abducted, narcotics, patrolled, and cracked down on theft and robbery...'
After reading the introduction of the drama, Zhou Chen had a rough idea of the content of the drama. It turns out that the main plot of the drama revolves around railway trains. In this way, his identity as a police officer can be easily integrated into the drama.
It's in the middle of the plot.
It was just after dinner, it wasn't completely dark yet, and he had just gone to bed, so after using the plot card, he immediately started binge-watching.
No hesitation, just watch at double speed.
One night passed, and by the next morning, he had watched twenty episodes, basically understood the plot of the show, and clarified the relationship between most of the characters.
I have to admit that the level of care put into making period dramas in China is often better than that of other dramas, and the plot content is much better than most urban dramas. There is no pretentiousness, coolness or tenderness, love triangles or four corners.
The life-or-death plot looks much more comfortable.
After not sleeping all night, Zhou Chen was not sleepy, but he had been watching dramas all the time, and his eyes and brain were a little tired. He rubbed his temples, squinted his eyes, climbed up from the big solid iron bed, moved his body, and his whole body was full of energy.
Crisp sound.
Although he stayed up all night, Zhou Chen's body was not tired at all. This is the benefit of strong physical fitness.
Now all four of his attributes exceed fifty. In terms of numerical value alone, it is more than five times that of the healthiest ordinary person, but his actual physical condition is better and healthier.
Anyway, since his physical fitness has been continuously improving, he has rarely been sick. Basically, he has not had any colds or fevers. With his current physical fitness, it is estimated that it is difficult for that kind of germs and viruses to invade his body. The antibodies are too strong, and the virus
It's useless.
Although his body was not exhausted, his stomach was a little hungry, so he got ready to make something to eat.
As for going to work, tomorrow is the day he reports to the railway police force.
As for the life of the police force, he doesn't have to worry at all. Not to mention his own abilities, just because he was born in a railway compound and has a father who died heroically as a police officer, he will not face difficulties in his future life in the railway police force.
, but will be taken care of.
The railway children in the Northeast are a special group of people. Even decades later, many people across the country will know how special the railway children are, let alone in this era.
It is no exaggeration to say that in this era, 80% of the jobs on the railways are inherited and held by railway children. If you are not a railway boy, it is really difficult to integrate into this circle.
So in terms of work, Zhou Chen is not worried at all. Even in this era, food is naturally incomparable to what it will be a few decades later.
Living alone and being a teenager, his life skills are naturally relatively poor. There is not much food stored at home. Zhou Chen found a roll of dried noodles and took two eggs to make an egg noodles.
He has rich life experience, and the coal stove and the fire are naturally not a problem for him. Soon, a hot pot of egg noodles is ready.
He had just filled a bowl and before he had time to eat, there was a knock on the door, and then he heard a cry.
"Zhou Chen, Zhou Chen, are you up? Open the door quickly."
Zhou Chen only paused for a moment before he knew who was knocking on the door, so he walked over and opened the door.
A young man walked in from outside the door.
"Zhou Chen, you haven't eaten yet."
"Wang Xin, why did you get up so early today? Today is a holiday. Shouldn't you sleep until noon?"
That's right, the young man who came to see Zhou Chen was the male protagonist of the drama "South and North", Wang Xin.
Zhou Chen lives in the railway compound where Wang Xin's house is located in the plot. The location is just behind Wang Xin's house. The room type is similar to Wang Xin's house, but the orientation is different.
Their family has lived here for more than ten years, and they are considered one of the oldest residents in this compound. He is two years older than Wang Xin, and the two are close friends who grew up together.
Not only did the two of them know each other for more than ten years in the same compound, they were also classmates in the same police academy, except that Zhou Chen was one year older than him.
Wang Xin shook his vest and muttered: "How can it be possible? It's so hot. Who can sleep? Oh, egg noodles are delicious."
Zhou Chen said: "On the hour? It happens to be more."
"Okay, it just so happens that I haven't had breakfast either. My dad went to work early in the morning and didn't even mention cooking me anything."
Wang Xin was not polite at all. He took a large bowl from Zhou Chen's cabinet and happily went to fill the pot with noodles.
"Hey, there's another egg, Zhou Chen, I won't be polite to you anymore, I'll just accept it."
"You are really not polite at all."
Zhou Chen cursed angrily, and then the two of them sat at a table and started making noodles.
"Well, not bad, Zhou Chen, your cooking skills have improved. It tastes much better than before."
Wang Xin ate while praising it.
"I can't stop your mouth even if I eat it."
Both of them were good at cooking, and they quickly finished Zhou Chen's pot of noodles.
Wang Xin burped and asked, "You will report to the police force tomorrow. How are you preparing?"
"What do you need to prepare when you take office? You will graduate next year. Do you have any plans to go?"
"Then I must go to the Railway Criminal Police Team. With my grades and abilities, I am definitely an elite member of the Criminal Police Team." Wang Xin began to boast.
Wang Xin is not yet eighteen years old now, but schools in this era are different from those in the future. Both Wang Xin and Zhou Chen went to the police academy before graduating from junior high school, so they were able to graduate early. In addition, they were born as railway children.
It is a natural thing to work in the railway public security department.
For workers in this era, young people can start working very early, and there is also a shift system. Many people start working when they are fifteen or sixteen years old, and retire later. There are many people with forty or fifty years of service.
Hearing Wang Xin's words, Zhou Chen sneered and said, "You have a pretty good idea. You can join the criminal police force right after graduation. You can think about such a good thing in your dreams when you go home at night."
Whether it is the criminal police team of the future or the criminal police team of this era, you cannot join it as a freshly graduated police academy student. Unless your relationship is really bad, most of them will have to start from the grassroots level.
rise.
And he has watched the drama "Nan Lai Bei Xiang", so he naturally knows that Wang Xin will become an honorable policeman after graduation next year, just like him, and after a few days of working, he will be injured in a very honorable manner.
It is said that he died before he was born.
"Come to our house for dinner tonight. My dad and I will have a drink with you to celebrate." Wang Xin sent out the invitation.
This era truly embodies the saying that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, especially in the extremely united railway compound, the relationship between neighbors is quite good.
Even if the living conditions of each family are not that good, it is common for them to visit each other for meals. Especially for those who have family changes like Zhou Chen, they are often taken care of by the people in the courtyard.
Zhou Chen said: "Forget it about having dinner and drinking. I have to report for work tomorrow. I have to take a good rest tonight and adjust my state. After all, starting from tomorrow, I will officially go to work, and it can't be the same as before."
Not to mention the past, now, he still doesn't want to owe any favors. Although one meal or two meals doesn't matter, in comparison, he would rather cook it at home.
"It doesn't matter. We don't drink too much. We just have two glasses to celebrate."
"I really don't want to go. I'll do it later. When I'm stable, I'll invite you to a restaurant for a drink. I'll also call out Cai Xiaonian and Niu Dali."
"Then, okay, it's up to you."
Seeing that Zhou Chen refused to go, Wang Xin didn't pay much attention to it and sat here with Zhou Chen for a while before going home.
Zhou Chen carried the bucket to the only pool in the courtyard to collect water. A group of women had gathered here. While washing and washing, they were chattering non-stop, making all kinds of gossip and laughter from time to time.
"Hey, Zhou Chen is here to fetch water. Have you had breakfast?"
"Have eaten, Aunt Cai."
"Xiao Zhou, are you going to report to the police force tomorrow?"
"Yes, Aunt Lu."
"Zhou Chen, you are going to start work tomorrow. You are not young at this age and are capable of dating. Can I give you a couple?"
"Oh, Sister-in-law Wu, I'm still young. Let's just go on a blind date. If there is any need in the future, I will definitely ask Sister-in-law Wu to help introduce me."
"…………"
Zhou Chen turned on the faucet to fill the water and talked to them with a smile. They were all neighbors who had lived in the same compound for many years. They met every day and had a very good relationship with each other.
Aunt Cai said: "Zhou Chen, you will be a policeman tomorrow. I think you can discuss it with the leader. You might as well share a car with Uncle Cai, Lao Wu and Dali from now on. We all belong to the same hospital.
We can still take care of each other a little bit."
Before Zhou Chen could speak, Aunt Lu said with a smile: "Aunt Cai, this is arranged by the leader, it doesn't matter what you say, but it would be really nice if I could have a car."
"Yes, yes."
Many people in this compound are workers on the train route from Ningyang to Harbin, so they said this to Zhou Chen. After all, it is much more convenient to work together as a group than to work alone.
Zhou Chen kept smiling and replied a few words. Although these women were quick to gossip, they were also very enthusiastic. The relationship between neighbors now is completely different from that of a few decades later. The enthusiasm is true enthusiasm, not false.
Fake love.
"According to me, Xiao Zhou is tall and handsome. He will be a policeman again soon. He has a decent job and has a house. He won't be able to find a wife in the future. He will be picked soon. Don't be in a hurry."
"Yes, yes."
After the bucket was full, Zhou Chen said hello and went back with the bucket. These aunts and sisters-in-law were so talkative that they would not be able to leave until they left.
After returning home, Zhou Chen washed the pots and pans and began to tidy up the belongings.
Although he is the only one in the family, he still has receipts for attending the police academy, and the work unit takes care of him, so there are still a lot of various receipts at home.
There are a lot of meat stamps, cloth stamps, food stamps, industrial vouchers... There are a lot of them, and the deposit is as small as two thousand yuan. Such a lot of money is a huge sum of money in this era.
Because he was the only one in the family, and he was studying at the police academy, so he didn't have any big expenses, so he was able to save so much money.
He has a house, money, and a job. Just like Aunt Cai and the others said, his current conditions are really a bargain.
In addition, he is tall and handsome, and he is definitely the best blind date in the minds of countless young girls and young wives.
The job of a police officer is good, but you are often away from home. If you work on a train with a relatively long route, it may take four or five days to get back home, and it may even take longer.
But this is not a problem for Zhou Chen. Let alone four or five days, seven or eight days, even ten days and a half month, it doesn't matter to him. His physical fitness is nothing more than endurance.
After staying at home for a while, there were still more than a dozen episodes of the TV series to watch, but Zhou Chen was not in a hurry to finish them, but got dressed and went out.
Familiarizing himself with the surrounding environment and integrating into this world is what he needs to adapt to as soon as possible. The last time he traveled to a period drama like this in the 1970s and 1980s was hundreds of years ago, especially in the Northeast of this era.
Been away for a long time.
Walking on the wide street, Zhou Chen looked at the houses and facades on both sides, feeling a sense of age and familiarity.
In fact, the road is not very wide, but because there are no cars parked everywhere and only bicycles come and go at most, the road appears to be extremely wide.
Although it was already past working hours, there were many pedestrians on the road, but most of them were fast and busy. There were also many people wandering around like him, but most of them were teenagers and children.
