Chapter 149 (Transition) The First Surprise of the Sixties and 601 (3k)

On Thursday night, Gao Zhendong went to bed early, relaxed and ready for the "double day off". He and Lou Xiao'e made an appointment to visit Wang Dezhuo's house early the next morning.

Wan Yueqin was about to give birth, so they went to see if there was anything they could do to help. If there was nothing else, the two of them would go out and play by themselves.

Just after midnight on January 1960, 1, he was awakened.

The reason was something he never expected. The system, which was invisible all year round and occasionally showed its power, moved on its own initiative.

Gao Zhendong stared at the newly generated instructions in the system in a daze: "Year-end summary, upgrade completed."

If you can talk to the system, the style should be like this:
"Why the hell didn't you say you could level up?"

"You didn't ask!"

"You didn't tell me how I could ask?"

"You didn't ask me what I said?"

However, he couldn't communicate with the system, so Gao Zhendong had to suppress his complaints and see what had been upgraded.

The system's style remains simple as always.

"The host directly intervenes and changes the life trajectories of the characters in the courtyard within the framework of public order and good customs."

"Xu Damao, the main character, has changed significantly."

"Lou Xiao'e, the main character, has changed dramatically."

"Yan Jiecheng, minor character, minor changes."

Seeing Yan Jiecheng, Gao Zhendong was secretly happy. It seemed that doing good things really would be rewarded. Unfortunately, Jia Dongxu still died.

What surprised Gao Zhendong was that the system considered that nothing had happened, whether Liu Hai's legs were broken or not. It seemed that it didn't matter whether Liu Hai's legs were broken or not.

"Comprehensive settlement, 5 additional draws, and upgrades as follows:"

"The host's anchoring to this world is accelerating."

"Accumulate 4 lucky draw opportunities to exchange for 1 search opportunity."

"One chance to win a lucky draw can be redeemed for one printed manuscript to handwritten manuscript service, and the handwriting is limited to the host himself."

"The duration that the host can temporarily leave the courtyard has been increased from 5 days to 30 days."

It’s gone, and the system continues to pretend to be dead.

After carefully understanding the meaning of the system, Gao Zhendong was still very satisfied.

You don’t have to copy by hand, but there is a price to pay.

You don’t have to rely on luck to win the lottery, but it will require more effort.

The time I spent away from the courtyard for a short period of time has become longer, and I have more room to spare. To be honest, with the current traffic conditions, the previous restrictions meant that I simply didn't dare to go anywhere except the inner city.

As for copying books on behalf of others, it depends on the content and urgency of the book. The chance to win a lottery is still very valuable, especially after you can search it. If you don't need to copy books on behalf of others, then don't do it. You can learn at the same time by copying books.

In Gao Zhendong's opinion, these upgrades are something I can do without, but you can't.

Although the system is pretending to be dead, Gao Zhendong estimates that there should still be a settlement upgrade on New Year's Day next year.

The only problem is that the judgment and upgrade of this system are opaque and very metaphysical. The words "public order and good morals" seem to be metaphors for something. This system, with its thick eyebrows and big eyes, is actually a positive energy system.

Fortunately, I am not a very good person when it comes to doing things, but I still have a bottom line and I am willing to help others. Otherwise, the benefits in the first year would be much less.

There is no need to make any deliberate changes, just stick to the bottom line and do things. Now I can’t digest all the gains I have made.

As a programmer, Gao Zhendong suddenly remembered a system bug, or a change in the system mechanism.

Being able to accumulate, does that mean I don’t have to think about the lottery every week?
This made Gao Zhendong very happy. After all, when he first started working, he was so excited about writing the R&D plan for thermocouples and return air furnaces that he forgot to draw the lottery.

Overall, this is a good thing and can be regarded as the first surprise entering the 1960s.

Gao Zhendong, who fell asleep after being excited for half the night, woke up the next morning still full of energy. He packed up and went straight to Lou Xiaoe'e's house.

After picking up Lou Xiao'e, the two rode their bikes to Wang Dezhuo's house. Coincidentally, Wang Dezhuo was coming out in a hurry to pull a cart.

Seeing the two of them, he was overjoyed: "You came at the right time. Yueqin should be giving birth soon. Old platoon leader, come with me to send her off. Your partner can help me look after Xiaomei."

After having one child, I was relatively calm when having a second one. Although it was busy, I was not anxious or panicky.

Gao Zhendong and the other man were overjoyed when they heard this, thinking they came at the right time.

They worked together to help Wan Yueqin onto the cart, and Wang Dezhuo and Gao Zhendong dragged her away.

Lou Xiao'e took Xiaomei a few steps and said to them, "Let's go together. Let Xiaomei go to see her brother or sister. If she is tired, I will take her back to my home first and make sure she is well taken care of."

Lou Xiao'e did not say that if the time was too long or too late, it would be inappropriate to say this at this time.

The two responded and drove the car straight to the hospital. Behind them, Xiaomei held Lou Xiaoe's hand and asked happily, "Auntie Lou, will I have a brother or sister soon?"

Lou Xiao'e nodded, picked her up and put her on the back seat of the bicycle: "Yes! Xiaomei will be a big sister soon."

Xiaomei's cheers of “Oh oh oh” could be heard from far away.

Gao Zhendong's strength far exceeds that of an ordinary person, and his legs and feet are more agile than Wang Dezhui's, so he simply asked Wang Dezhui to follow him, and it would be more convenient for him to pull the cart by himself.

The group arrived at the hospital quickly and had normal reactions. The doctor at the hospital was not in a hurry and admitted Wan Yueqin according to a set of procedures.

Let's wait. Several people found a place to sit down. Xiaomei, on the other hand, was new to everything, even the hospital.

Xiaomei was wandering around, and Lou Xiaoe followed closely behind her. She was very tired, but still very happy.

For lunch, Gao Zhendong went to a state-owned restaurant and bought steamed buns and a few dishes. Lou Xiao'e seldom ate in such an atmosphere and environment, and the novelty she felt was similar to that of Xiaomei.

In the afternoon, the good news came out that a boy was born, and Wang Dezhuo was so happy that he grinned from ear to ear.

Gao Zhendong took Xiaomei over only after the doctor, Wang Dezhu and Lou Xiao'e transferred Wan Yueqin from the delivery room to the ward and settled her down.

The first thing Xiaomei said when she saw her brother was, "Oh, how ugly!"

After complaining, she went to tease her brother out of curiosity and joy, but her brother closed his eyes, half stuck out his tongue, and ignored her.

The adults laughed and left Lou Xiao'e to take care of Wan Yueqin temporarily. Gao Zhendong and Wang Dezhu ran outside the ward to smoke.

Seeing Wang Dezhu blowing out a beautiful smoke ring, Gao Zhendong smiled and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Wang. This time it's perfect. It's a 'good' combination."

Wang Dezhu's smile never stopped: "Haha, it feels good! Old platoon leader, I have a favor to ask of you. You are well educated, so please give my son a name, both a formal name and a nickname."

Gao Zhendong thought about his own tragic experience of "wasting a name" and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Sure, sure. You're the best at everything you do. Give the second kid a name so he can take advantage of your fame."

Gao Zhendong hesitated for a moment and said, "It's easy to come up with a nickname, but I have to go back and look up the real name carefully. I can't be careless about this."

Wang Dezhu deeply agreed. The old platoon leader was very attentive when doing things. "A formal name is easy to come up with. You can register your household registration in my office anytime. Let's come up with a nickname first."

Then Gao Zhendong gave him a big hug: "The first child born in 60, let's call him 601."

Wang Dezhu looked at Gao Zhendong with an expression that said, "I'm not well educated, so don't lie to me." Gao Zhendong smiled awkwardly and said, "No? Then I'll pick another one."

Wang Dezhu waved his hand and said, "No, this is it. This nickname reminds me of the time when we were fighting outside. This nickname is awesome!"

"As long as you are willing." Gao Zhendong laughed.

It was getting night and Xiaomei was tired, so Wang Dezhu simply asked Lou Xiaoe to take Xiaomei back to the Lou family, while he stayed in the hospital to take care of Wan Yueqin.

These days, sending children out is not as troublesome and expensive as it would be in the future, when you need to prepare a lot of things and just provide them with food and accommodation. Wang Dezhu is completely at ease with Lou Xiaoe.

Gao Zhendong sent Lou Xiao'e and Xiaomei back to Lou's house. Although they didn't do anything fun on New Year's Day, both of them were very happy.

Lou Xiao'e brought Xiaomei into the house and asked her to greet Lou's father and mother: "Call them Grandpa Lou and Grandma Lou."

Xiaomei was not afraid of strangers at all and started shouting as soon as she opened her mouth.

Father Lou was stunned by the sudden appearance of this child: "What are you doing? Huh?"

I thought a lot at once, then calmed down and cursed myself for thinking too much. Apart from anything else, the time is not enough. The child is so big, he is already several years old.

Lou Xiao'e introduced Xiaomei's background, and the two old people then realized that she was a friend's family.

After agreeing to Xiaomei, Lou's father slipped away first. It was mainly because he had thought too much just now, and after he reacted, he felt a little embarrassed.

But Lou's mother, seeing such a lovely little girl, was so fond of her that she picked her up and gave her snacks lavishly.

After finally having enough fun, Lou's mother put Xiaomei down and let her eat by herself. She looked at Lou Xiao'e and asked, "When will you and Zhendong also do the same?"

Lou Xiao'e blushed: "Mom, why are you so anxious?"

Lou's mother tapped Lou Xiao'e's head and said, "Don't worry, don't worry. I'll see where you can go to cry if you accidentally fly away."

Lou Xiao'e thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll ask him some other day."

Speaking of this, Lou Xiao'e didn't feel embarrassed at all.

In her opinion, it was very natural for her to take the initiative to ask Gao Zhendong about this matter.

The next day was a holiday, so Gao Zhendong and Lou Xiaoe simply said hello to Wang Dezhu, took Xiaomei, and went to the park and Gao Zhendong's house to play for half a day. Mainly because it was freezing cold, they couldn't stand playing in the park for a whole day.

At night, after Gao Zhendong sent Lou Xiao'e and Xiaomei back to Lou's house, he returned to his own home. Looking at the remaining five draws, he resisted the urge to draw.

He decided to keep these five draws in his hands and not use them easily. These five draws were enough for one data search and one handwriting service. The two together could meet some special needs under special circumstances.
