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 lot of fun.

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 the cost of traveling along the way has 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 a roof beam that was much higher than that of a commercial building. Some of the white paint on the walls had fallen off, exposing the interior. Cement walls and red bricks.

With just one glance, he roughly concluded that he should have come to a relatively poor place, or a backward era.

A group of memories was quickly fused by him, and then he knew his current situation.

The person has not changed, 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. His 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 still lives in the railway compound. He owns 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 sick 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 traveling 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 he has been a policeman, but it is indeed the first time that a policeman in the 1970s has been a railway policeman.

He has experienced this era many times and is very clear about 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 Northeast trains in this era are still green trains, steam trains, 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."

Task:

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, apart from 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 the establishment.

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, it still makes sense under the current national conditions of our country. Being in a position may not make you rich, but it will definitely make you the most stable and give you face when you say it out. Especially in the eyes of the older generation, it is even more valued. It is a hot commodity in the blind date market.

Having traveled through so many film and television worlds, he has had a position more than once, but rarely maintained it to the end. The road he has traveled the most is still business.

Of course, the ancient world is an exception.

The three tasks, the main task and the first branch task, are all related to the profession. It is unclear which film and television world they are from. The second branch task has a name.

Ma Kui, Uncle Ma.

This name is unfamiliar to Zhou Chen. He thought about it seriously and didn't feel familiar at first.

Anyway, there are still three plot cards, so he didn't save them and used the plot card directly.

‘South to North.’

After using the plot card, he immediately knew that the film and television world he traveled through was South to North, which is a period drama that takes place on the railway in the Northeast.

‘In the late 1970s, on a steam train from Ningyang to Harbin, young police officer Wang Xin was shuttling among the bustling passengers and doing his duty seriously. He mistakenly took the old railway police officer Ma Kui as a fugitive, and the two began a relationship of master and apprentice. From disliking each other to appreciating each other, Wang Xin and Ma Kui fought side by side on the front line of railway public security. They fought pickpocketing, fighting kidnapping, drug trafficking, patrolling the line, and fighting theft, robbery and fraud...’

After reading the introduction of the play first, Zhou Chen roughly understood the content of the play. It turned out that the main plot of the play revolved around the railway train. In this way, his identity as a police officer was easily integrated into the plot.

At this time, he had just finished dinner and it was not completely dark. He had just gone to bed not long ago, so after using the plot card, he immediately started watching the show.

Without any hesitation, he watched it at double speed.

After a night, by the early morning of the next day, he had watched 20 episodes, basically understood the plot of the play, and sorted out the relationship between most of the characters.

I have to admit that the domestic production of period dramas is often more attentive than other dramas, and the plot content is much better than most urban dramas. There is no pretentious face-slapping, cool and young, love triangles, or lifeless plots, which makes it look much more comfortable.

Zhou Chen was not sleepy after not sleeping all night, but he was watching the drama all the time, and his eyes and brain were a little tired. He rubbed his temples, squinted his eyes, climbed up from the sturdy iron bed, and moved his body, making crisp sounds all over his body.

Although he stayed up all night, Zhou Chen's body was not tired at all. This is the benefit of strong physical fitness.

Now his four attributes are all over 50. In terms of values ​​alone, it is more than five times the state of the healthiest ordinary people, but the actual physical condition is better and healthier.

Anyway, since his physical fitness has been continuously improved, he has hardly been sick, and basically has no colds or fevers. With his current physical fitness, it is estimated that it is difficult for that kind of bacteria and viruses to erode his body. The antibodies are too strong, and the virus will be useless.

Although his body is not tired, his stomach is a little hungry, so he is ready to get up and make something to eat.

As for work, tomorrow is the day he reports to the Railway Police.

He doesn't have to worry about life in the Police. Not to mention his own ability, he was born in a railway compound and has a father who was a police officer who died heroically. He will not be troubled in the future in the Railway Police, but will be taken care of.

The children of the railway in Northeast China are a special group. Even for the people of the whole country decades later, many people know the specialness of the children of the railway, not to mention in this era.

It is no exaggeration to say that in this era, 80% of the jobs on the railway are inherited and held by the children of the railway. If you are not a railway child, it is really difficult to integrate into this circle.

So Zhou Chen is not worried about work at all. It's just that in this era, the food is naturally incomparable with that of decades later.

Living alone and being a teenager, his life skills are naturally poor. There is not much food stored at home. Zhou Chen found a roll of noodles and took two eggs to make a bowl of egg noodles.

With rich life experience, coal stove and fire were no problem for him. Soon, a pot of hot egg noodles was ready.

He had just filled a bowl and had not had time to eat when there was a knock on the door, followed by a call.

"Zhou Chen, Zhou Chen, are you up? Open the door."

Zhou Chen only paused for a moment, then knew who was knocking, so he walked over and opened the door.

A young man walked in from outside.

"Zhou Chen, haven't you 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 find Zhou Chen was the male protagonist of the drama "South to North", Wang Xin.

Zhou Chen lived in the railway compound where Wang Xin's home was located in the plot. The location was behind Wang Xin's home. The house type was similar to Wang Xin's home, but the orientation was different.

Their family had lived here for more than ten years, and they were one of the oldest residents in this compound. He was two years older than Wang Xin, and the two were close friends who grew up together.

Not only did they live in the same compound and have known each other for more than ten years, 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: "No way, it's so hot, who can sleep? Oh, egg noodles, they are delicious."

Zhou Chen said: "On the hour? There just happened to be more rain."

"Okay, it just so happens that I haven't had breakfast yet. 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 one more egg, Zhou Chen, I won't be polite to you anymore, I'll accept it with a smile."

"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."

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 before 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 enter 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 team right after graduation. You should think about this kind of good thing in your dreams when you go back 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 had already watched the drama "Nan Lai Bei Xiang", so he naturally knew that Wang Xin would become an honorable police officer after graduation next year, just like him, and after a few days of working, he would 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 extended 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 to visit each other for meals. Especially for Zhou Chen, who has experienced family changes, he is 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 or two meals doesn't matter, in comparison, he prefers to cook at his own home.

"What's the big deal? Let's not drink too much, just have two glasses to celebrate."

"I really won't go, but later, when I'm stable, I'll invite you to a restaurant for a drink, and call out Cai Xiaonian and Niu Dali by the way."

"Then, okay, it's up to you."

Seeing that Zhou Chen refused to go, Wang Xin didn't pay much attention 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 scrubbing, 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 you 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 necessary 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 to 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 soon be a police officer. He has a decent job and a house. He will have no problem finding a wife in the future. He can choose one 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 too talkative. If he didn't leave now, he would be gone.

After returning home, Zhou Chen washed the pots and pans and began to sort out his belongings.

Although he was the only one at home, he also had tickets to study at the police academy. In addition, the unit took care of him, so there were still many kinds of tickets at home.

Meat tickets, cloth tickets, grain tickets, industrial tickets..., there were quite a few, and the savings were actually nearly 2,000 yuan. Such a large amount of money was a huge sum of money in this era.

Because he was the only one at home and he was studying at the police academy, he didn't have any big expenses, so he could save so much money.

Having a house, money, and a stable job, just like Aunt Cai and the others said, his current conditions were really great.

In addition, he is tall and handsome, and is definitely the best blind date candidate in the minds of countless young girls and wives.

The work of a conductor is good, but he is often away from home. If he works on a train with a long route, it may take four or five days to go back and forth before he can go home, or even longer.

However, this is not a problem for Zhou Chen. Let alone four or five days, seven or eight days, even ten days or half a month, he doesn't care. His physical fitness is nothing but durability.

After staying at home for a while, there are still more than a dozen episodes of TV series to watch, but Zhou Chen is not in a hurry to finish it, but put on his clothes and go out.

Getting familiar with the surrounding environment and integrating into this world is also what he needs to adapt to as soon as possible. The last time he traveled to such a period drama in the 1970s and 1980s seemed to be hundreds of years ago, especially the Northeast of this era, which has been away for a long time.

Walking on the wide street, Zhou Chen looked at the houses and storefronts on both sides, and the sense of age and familiarity came to him.

In fact, the road is not very wide, but because there are no cars parked everywhere, at most there are bicycles coming and going, so the road seems particularly wide.

Although it is past working hours, there are still many pedestrians on the road, but most of them are fast-paced and busy. There are also many people strolling around like him, but most of them are teenagers and children.

Zhou Chen took a deep breath.

"1977, here I come again!"
