Chapter 3 Testing
Wang Deming was delighted. It would be a real treat to marry Qin Huairu to his family, right? Although she was a country girl, she was charming and seductive, and she was also very good at taking care of the family!
No matter how the online articles in the future scold her, we have to admit that Qin Huairu is definitely worthy of the Jia family! She has taken good care of her mother-in-law and made her fat and white, and she has also arranged all the three children properly.

Hey, but it's my turn to enjoy everything in this life.
Wang Deming's heart was burning with excitement, and he revealed a little about his situation: "Uncle Qin, I have graduated from high school, and I asked someone to guarantee that I would join the Chinese Medicine Association."

"Once the government's health department issues new medical qualification examination standards, I will take the examination for a Chinese medicine practitioner license."

"The Chinese Medicine Association has a joint clinic. I can earn at least 55 or yuan a month there (the second set of RMB was only issued in , so the units are not in ten thousand for easier understanding). I can also do some tailoring work with my sister, so I definitely don't have to worry about my life."

Hearing Old Man Qin questioning Wang Deming, Aunt Qin also came out from the east room and winked at the old man.

After understanding what he said, Old Man Qin sighed and asked suspiciously, "High school graduate? And a Chinese medicine doctor? Aren't Western medicine doctors the only ones making money in the city? Especially since you are so young, who would come to you for medical treatment in the city?"

"It's especially difficult to live in Beijing. It's not like in the countryside, where you have to spend money to buy food and daily necessities."

"And then there are houses. I heard that houses in Beijing are very expensive. You need hundreds or thousands of dollars to buy one. Most people rent houses. It's not like in our village where you can build a house with some adobe and straw."

"But you can stay at your sister's house, and you can save the rent money."

"But it's not a long-term solution, is it?"

"After this"

Old Man Qin's words were full of meaning, and he turned the topic to the house. Wang Deming felt that his judgment was correct, and he sighed in his heart, "Why do people still care about houses and income in this era?" That's right, marrying a man means you get clothes and food.

Wang Deming, under the influence of alcohol, showed off a little bit of his ability: "My sister knows that I have graduated, and she is looking for a house near her home for me, one or two rooms. My mother and I have saved some money in the past two years, and my sister will help me borrow about 100 from my husband's family, and then I can buy it directly."

Wang Deming felt that it was almost time, and under the influence of drunkenness, he tentatively asked Old Man Qin: "Uncle, Xiaoru and I..."

"Ahem," Old Man Qin interrupted Wang Deming with a cough, "Eat, eat. You are still young. Didn't our government promulgate the Marriage Law and stipulate the marriage age?"

"Huh?" Wang Deming was stunned. What was going on?
After the dinner, Qin Huairu heard the noise and came out to see Wang Deming off, but was rejected with a smile and walked away staggeringly.

Watching Wang Deming's receding back, Aunt Qin whispered in Old Man Qin's ear, "Boss, this kid couldn't have guessed something, could he?"

Old man Qin knocked his pipe against the sole of his shoe, pinched out a little tobacco from the pipe and pressed it into the pipe, lit it with a match, and squinted his eyes: "Listen to what he said, looking for a job and buying a house, isn't it just for us? He must have seen through it!"

After a pause, he said, "But we can't believe everything the matchmaker says. Isn't he just saying the best? It's so easy to make money from this matchmaker!"

Aunt Qin was not convinced and shouted in a low voice: "The family introduced by the matchmaker has a house in Beijing and a formal job. Their monthly expenses are more than 30 yuan, which is enough for us for a year."

"We do know that Wang Deming is studying in the capital, but who knows if he is studying well or not? He said it himself."

"Besides, what's wrong with letting Xiaoru go to the city to have a look?"

"We never said before that we would marry our daughter to Wang Deming..."

"He is a young man who escaped from famine. Didn't he stay in the neighboring Wayao Village only because he took Widow Yan as his godmother?"

"Look at Wang Deming's behavior. He keeps things cleaner than anyone else in the village. He buys delicious food whenever he wants. This kind of pretty boy is just trying to cheat our daughter. Who knows where the money comes from? Did he really earn it by working with his sister, or did he get it secretly or did he do something bad to get it?"

"That's not even accurate. How much money can you save in the village in the past two years? And you're studying to make money? If it's really that easy to make money in the capital, then everyone would go there to make a living? Maybe you had to borrow money to buy a house in the capital!"

"What? Will our daughter be starving once she gets married and have to eat coarse food every day with him?"

"This is a lifelong matter for a girl. If she gets married well, she can even subsidize her parents' home. If..." Putting aside the quarrels of the Qin family, Wang Deming walked a few steps after leaving Qinjia Village and returned to normal. His eyes were clear. How could he get drunk with just a few ounces of liquor? Especially since his physical fitness was far superior to that of his previous life, he just didn't want to drink liquor.

Wang Deming and Qin Huairu are not from the same village, but they are not far away. They live in a village two miles west of Qinjia Village called Wayao Village. As the name suggests, there used to be a brick and tile kiln. His home is an old two-room earthen house on the edge of the village.

Walking along the country road, listening to the barking of dogs in the village, Wang Deming strolled home in the moonlight, thinking about what happened at the dinner table today.

Is the Qin family trying to make trouble? Or do they just disagree?

Why does it feel like it’s similar to the high bride prices that I often saw in the news in my previous life?
And isn't this just forcing me to pretend to be cool and slap myself in the face?

The property certificate, watch, and bicycle were just thrown in front of Lao Qin's family. Ha.
Wang Deming has traveled through time for three years, how could he still be penniless?
It was just the beginning of the liberation, and the villagers were all working people. The Landlord Game had only been going on for two years, so in order not to attract attention, he kept a low profile in the village.

In his previous life, he was a medical resident who was in charge of more than a dozen beds. He did not get a break after the night shift and had to continue working the day shift. After working for more than 40 hours, he died of overwork.
When I woke up again, it was January 49, 1. I must have been fleeing famine. I was cold and hungry, and collapsed at the door of my godmother's house. I was saved by my godmother Wang Shuqin with a mouthful of hot soup.

When Wang Deming woke up, he heard a strong voice in his heart asking him to recognize his godmother.
My godmother is a widow. She only has one daughter who is married in the capital and has no other relatives around her.

In order to repay the life-saving grace, with Wang Shuqin's consent, she decisively worshipped her godmother in front of all the villagers and took care of her until her death.

As soon as the recognition ceremony was over, a lot of knowledge suddenly emerged in Wang Deming's mind, all written in traditional Chinese characters, such as the Four Books and Five Classics, and there seemed to be a warm current in his body, which freed him from his weakness.

This discovery made Wang Deming overjoyed. This was his golden finger! It solved the difficulties of speaking, reading and writing in this era!

In this era, all characters are in traditional Chinese. What's the difference between being able to read but not write and being semi-illiterate?
But what are the conditions for triggering this golden finger? Is it to recognize relatives?
This is too hard for myself.
When Wang Deming thought about the scene of accepting a bunch of godparents, he shuddered unconsciously.
Later, Wang Deming accidentally discovered that his godmother had secretly boiled grass roots to save his life and fed him porridge with her precious grains. He was deeply moved.
It was not until his sister Yan Baozhen finally returned from the capital and brought back precious food that he learned from her that the blockade of Peking had ended and the city had been peacefully liberated.

After getting Yan Baozhen's recognition, Wang Deming gained a lot of knowledge in his mind, mainly about some traditional Chinese medicine, including Huangdi Neijing, Treatise on Febrile Diseases, Shennong's Herbal Classic, etc., as well as some sporadic gains about tailoring.

At the same time, a warm current flowed through his body, giving Wang Deming, who was already in good health, more strength out of nowhere.

This made Wang Deming have some guesses about his "talent", because when he was doing regular training in his previous life, quantum computing and artificial intelligence were all the rage. His master's thesis was related to this, and he himself tried to play with a drone controlled by his mind.

Could it be related to quantum entanglement? Can we obtain the knowledge and information in other people's minds?
He joked with his sister, saying that she was an excellent female doctor, but she denied that she knew no medicine. After learning that only his deceased father knew Chinese medicine in the family, Wang Deming felt a little dizzy. Could it be that the knowledge transmitted to his mind was not limited to himself?

Can it still be inherited?
After Wang Deming's health improved, he used some agricultural knowledge he had acquired in his previous life to work on the two acres of land rented by his godmother. He raised earthworms to make fertilizer, and used the earthworms to feed chickens. By the autumn harvest in September 49, when the land was being divided, the harvest from the two acres of land shocked everyone in Wayao Village.

Wang Deming did not keep his knowledge to himself. On the one hand, in order to actively integrate into this era, and on the other hand, in order to continue testing his golden finger, he took the initiative to teach his agricultural knowledge to the villagers patiently.

After receiving the gratitude from the villagers, Wang Deming gained a lot of knowledge in his mind, including farming, breeding, traditional wrestling, and even the relationship between the sexes.
By casually chatting with the villagers and inquiring about information, Wang Deming became more certain about his golden finger: after gaining the gratitude of others or fulfilling their wishes, the knowledge can be passed on; but it does not have to be one's own, it can also be the previous generation, and it does not have to be a direct descendant, it can also be a master you worship.

You can also gain other people's physical attribute points.
Especially this time, the improvement in his physical fitness is more obvious. You don't feel it when he is wearing clothes, but once you take off your clothes, you can see that his body is full of muscular muscles and his flexibility is also very good.

As his reputation spread, surrounding villages frequently asked him to help guide planting, so he got to know Qin Huairu.

Although he has tried his best to integrate into this era, Wang Deming still has many habits of later generations, such as being very particular about hygiene: taking baths and washing clothes regularly, not growing nails, and no dirt left between nails. His home is also very clean, and after being burned, his old clothes are soaked in herbs collected from the mountains, and he has no lice on his body.

Especially when doing farm work, he developed a masculine spirit. With his handsome appearance and a clean and refreshing look that was different from the farmers of that era, he quickly won over Qin Huairu and secretly established a relationship with her.

Before the founding ceremony, Wang Deming took his godmother to live with his sister in Beijing. This historical moment should not be missed.
