Chapter 4 Nerd

There was an electronic mechanical sound in my ears.

Wang Mengde was overjoyed. It had been more than a month since he traveled to this era, and his golden finger had finally arrived.

He couldn't wait to check it in his mind and soon figured out the specific function of the golden finger.

This golden finger is relatively simple. It connects to a small supermarket in the previous life. The money Wang Mengde earns in this era will have a 1:1 corresponding credit point, which can be used to buy things in the supermarket.

Of course, the prices of the goods inside are the same as in the previous life.

At the same time, there are several grayed-out buttons in the cheat sheet that cannot be clicked to view for the time being. Words such as storage space, professional knowledge, retrieval function, and mind simulation are written on them.

After figuring it out, Wang Mengde swallowed his saliva as he looked at the dazzling array of goods on the supermarket shelves, especially the food. Even though his family's conditions were considered good in that era, he still lacked food in his stomach.

But when I saw that my credit limit was zero, I felt very disappointed and unwilling.

The golden finger came too late. It would have been fine if it had come earlier, even a month earlier.

When his salary was paid in early March, he received a full 23 yuan. If he had these points, his life would have been comfortable in the next years with the help of the golden finger.

Unfortunately, the money he earned before does not count towards the quota points, and starting from next month, he can only receive a salary of 23 yuan from the company.

On March 1955, 3, the country issued the second set of RMB. Wang Mengde’s unit issued a notice a few days ago, saying that all wages would be paid in the second set of RMB when the salary was paid in early April.

This 23 yuan salary seemed like a lot in 55, enough for a family of three to live on, but in the supermarket in the previous life, you couldn't buy much with it.

Wang Mengde came back to his senses with some regret, shook his head, and prepared to go home and study this golden finger carefully when he had free time. He stood up and turned to look at Sha Zhu:

"Silly Zhu, I'm going home first. I'll meet you for a drink in a few days."

"Bookworm, you should go back soon. I have recently learned a few new dishes from my master. I will cook them for you to try in a few days." Shazhu said casually without even turning his head, his eyes still fixed in the direction of the Jia family.

Shaking his head, Wang Mengde sighed in his heart. The original owner and Sha Zhu had a good relationship because they were born on the same day of the same month of the same year.

Every now and then, Sha Zhu would cook a few dishes and we would have a few drinks at home.

After a few steps, Wang Mengde returned to his home and pushed open the door. The interior area of ​​the house was about 20 square meters, separated by two cabinets and wooden boards in the middle.

Inside was the bedroom, with a bed, a chest of drawers and a large camphorwood box.

Outside was the living room, which had a long table, a dining table, and a few chairs and stools, and a stove by the wall near the door. The rest were rice jars, water buckets, washbasin racks, and other miscellaneous items.

Wang Mengde picked up the thermos on the table, poured himself a cup of hot water, then shook it and found that there was not much hot water left in the kettle.

He put down the thermos, walked to the coal stove, replaced a new coal with a fire chopstick, and then opened the bottom stove door. He was going to boil a pot of water before cooking.

While the water was boiling, Wang Mengde took out a copy of "Three Character Classic of Medicine" from a pile of medical books on the long table, sat on a chair, and read it carefully.

Influenced by his father, he was very interested in Chinese medicine. When he was young, other children were playing outside, but he was studying "Song of Tangtou", "Ode to Medicinal Properties", "Pulse Decision" and "Basic Theory of Chinese Medicine". Because he was devoted to medical books, didn't like to talk, and lowered his head to think about problems from time to time, his neighbors gave him a nickname, "nerd".

After Wang Mengde traveled to the original owner's body more than a month ago, he also inherited this characteristic and would read medical books whenever he had free time.

Even if the system golden finger comes now, he is not going to relax his studies.

He knows very well that the system may disappear in the future, and the knowledge and skills he has learned will always be his. He will not start to mess up the system once he has it.

Only when we become strong can we cope with the storm ten years later.

Backyard, Lao Xu’s house.

Xu Damao obediently poured a cup of hot water for his father Xu Fugui, then put down the kettle and said strangely: "Dad, I feel that the nerd is very different today than usual.

Just now at the whole hospital meeting, the eldest master and the Jia family persuaded each other with soft and hard words. If he was unwilling in the past, he would at most grit his teeth and keep silent. How could he resolve the crisis so easily? "

Xu Fugui sat on a chair, holding an enamel pot in his hand, looking at his son, and took the opportunity to teach him: "Da Mao, what's so strange about this? He must have learned all this from books.

I have always told you to read more books because they contain profound truths, but you just don’t listen. You think you are great because you are just a little smart.”

"Humph, in my opinion, compared with you and Wang Mengde, he will definitely have a better future than you."

"Dad, do you look down on your son so much?" Xu Damao was a little unhappy when he heard this. He tilted his head and said unconvincedly: "That 'nerd' is not as good-looking as me except that he likes to read books.

We both graduated from high school and joined the factory together at the beginning of this year. He works in the factory hospital. At best, he will become a great doctor like his father.

But I am different. I am now in the factory's publicity department. I can pursue a career in politics in the future. If I have the opportunity, I can become a leader in the factory. I have much more room for development than him."

Looking at his son's stubborn expression, Xu Fugui shook his head and continued to persuade him:
"Oh, have you never heard of the allusion 'A scholar should be looked at with new eyes after three years of separation'? Wang Mengde finally became enlightened because of his daily reading and accumulation of knowledge.

Moreover, with your little cleverness, you still want to pursue a career in government. The most you can achieve is to become a section chief. You won’t be able to grasp a higher position. I advise you to read more books if you want to make progress in the future.”

"Dad, I want to be a factory manager in the future. What kind of books should I read?"

Xu Damao gritted his teeth and asked humbly.

He followed his father to learn how to project movies two years ago. His horizons are broader than those of other young people, his ambitions are bigger, and he has more faith in his father.

Seeing his son's willingness to make progress, Xu Fugui was overjoyed, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Da Mao, you can take a look at the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that I put on the bedside.

I tell you, Dad reads this book when he has nothing to do, and he has learned a lot from it. If you can understand it thoroughly, you can move up a level, not to mention becoming a factory manager. "

Except for Lao Xu's family, most of the residents in the courtyard were discussing Wang Mengde's performance at the courtyard meeting today.

In the end, everyone agreed that the "nerd" was "teasing" the old Jia family.
