Long before Li Jie and Zhong Xiaoqin came back, the mother-in-law started to celebrate. Zhong Xiaoqin immediately told her parents the news that Li Jie won the gold medal in the literary and artistic category.
The two old men only felt honored that their son-in-law had received such a great honor. First place, and first place in a CCTV competition, was something that Zhong's mother had never thought about before.
In order to celebrate this happy event, Chen Xu made a special trip back to his hometown to pick up his mother.
The eldest son appeared on the CCTV stage, and the younger son was doing some self-media. Although Chen’s mother didn’t know what self-media was, the younger son made a lot of money every month.
At first, Chen Xu told his mother that he was making 70,000 to 80,000 yuan a month. Mother Chen didn't believe it. It wasn't until he pulled out the bank statements and put them in front of her mother that she realized that her youngest son had really made money.
.
Of the two sons, the eldest has graduated from a prestigious university and has already started a family and started a business. He is living a prosperous life and does not need to worry about Chen’s mother.
However, things are not going well with the second child. The second child did not study well before. He finally went to college, but after he graduated, he was still idle. If his daughter-in-law hadn't introduced him to a serious job, he might still be doing it.
After Chen Xu went to work, Chen's mother finally breathed a sigh of relief, but other problems came one after another. The second child was not young anymore and would have to start a family and start a business. However, the current housing prices are so high. With the second child's income, even if
Adding your own is just a drop in the bucket for the house.
Fortunately, the situation has changed. The second brother has made money, a lot of money, and the money to marry a wife has been secured.
The moment she saw the bank statements, Chen's mother finally let go of all her worries.
Magic City, Songhe Tower.
Songhelou is a famous restaurant selling Subang cuisine. It was founded during the Qianlong period. Songhelou is close to the Huangpu River and has a sweeping view of the river. In the private room, a large family gathered together.
"Mom, this squirrel mandarin fish is the signature dish of this restaurant. Try it and see if you like it."
At the dinner table, Zhong’s mother enthusiastically introduced the restaurant’s famous dishes to her in-laws who came from afar.
"Hey, let me try it."
Mother Chen picked up her chopsticks and took a bite. As soon as the food entered her mouth, before she had time to taste it carefully, she nodded repeatedly.
"Well, it's delicious! It's delicious!"
Mother Chen looked at her eldest son and daughter-in-law opposite, and then at her younger son sitting next to them. Her eldest grandson would be born soon.
When she thought of this, she couldn't stop smiling.
So happy!
Zhong's mother's expression was exactly the same as Chen's mother. The smile on her face had not stopped since the morning.
At this moment, Chen Xu suddenly stood up holding a wine glass.
"Brother, sister-in-law, I'd like to toast you both. Thank you for taking care of me. I also wish you a sweeter life."
Seeing this, Zhong Xiaoqin quickly stretched out her hand and pushed him down: "Sit down quickly, sit down quickly, we are all a family, we should help you, there is no need to thank you."
"Yes, sit down quickly, family members, and don't do these silly things."
Upon seeing this, Chen Xu sat down obediently, but still held up his cup.
The three of them clinked glasses and drank the wine in one gulp.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing this mission. The reward will be received after returning to the main world."
"After the mission is completed, the host can return at any time. If he does not make a choice, he will be forced to return within 48 hours."
The system's beep suddenly sounded in my mind.
'Mission accomplished?'
However, if you think about it carefully, there seems to be nothing wrong with it, and it makes perfect sense logically.
The original mission content was ‘Chen Yu hopes to save his love’.
Obviously, this goal has been achieved long ago.
Thinking of this, Li Jie's thoughts couldn't help but start to diverge. What are the criteria for the system to judge the completion of a task?
There seems to be no unified standard for counting the completion nodes of each copy.
To describe it in one sentence, the system is very willful!
It's unpredictable.
To this day, Li Jie still remembers the anomaly (after completing the copy of "Everything is Very Good"). After he rejected the first task (every three tasks completed, he has immunity once), the system immediately sent a second task.
.
Moreover, the system actively pulled him into the dungeon for the first time.
Although there was no abnormality in the system after that, just that one time was enough to make people remember it forever.
After all, the unknown is what scares the most.
After thinking for a while, Li Jie turned his attention back to the meal. This issue can be left to be thought about slowly. There is no rush at all. The days ahead are still very long, so there is no rush.
What's more, he couldn't figure it out for a while.
After having had enough wine and food, the family came to the Huangpu River. On a late autumn night, the river wind was slightly cold, but the flow of people on both sides of the Huangpu River did not decrease at all.
Since Zhong Xiaoqin, a pregnant woman, was there, the group did not go shopping for long and returned in about half an hour.
Li Jie didn't show any abnormality during the whole process. After so many worlds, he has long been accustomed to separation. Anyway, he can come back here anytime he wants.
After he leaves the copy, the flow of time in the entire world will stop. For people in this world, he has never left.
Therefore, parting is only for him alone.
On the way back, Chen Xu and Li Jie took a car, and several old people took a car. Chen Xu, who had been holding back for a whole day, finally couldn't help but tell the good news he just got today.
As he spoke, he kept touching the back of his head, his expression full of joy.
"Brother, let me tell you, today I received a notice from Station P, inviting me to attend this year's annual meeting."
…………
"Hey, brother, thank you very much!"
…………
"I never thought before that I, Chen Xu, could actually live the life I have today."
…………
Along the way, Chen Xu, who was slightly drunk, talked about the recent changes. Li Jie responded to him from time to time. He understood the feeling of becoming famous all too well.
The feeling of becoming famous is like becoming rich from a poor man. Money, beauty, honor, etc. will follow one after another. Li Jie doesn't know if Chen Xu will get lost in it. He doesn't want to interfere too much with the other party.
Whether Chen Xu is lost or not, it doesn't matter to the overall situation. If he is lost, just fish him out. It's no big deal.
Back home, Li Jie looked at everything at home without leaving a trace. It was foreseeable that he would be away for a long time, although others did not know it.
"Husband, help me get the conditioner. I've run out of the one in the bathroom."
At this moment, Zhong Xiaoqin's voice came from the bathroom.
Li Jie shook his head and sighed. Zhong Xiaoqin just told him at noon that the conditioner was gone and he needed to get a new bottle. Unexpectedly, she forgot to get it.
Originally he thought Zhong Xiaoqin had grown up, but he didn't expect that she was still so confused.
