"Host, don't worry, this is really an easy level." Ruiting waved in front of Yu Heng, patting his non-existent chest to guarantee, "I will definitely not make mistakes~!"
Yu Heng smiled: "I believe you."
After reading the content of the task, he began to purchase supplies, whether it was medicine, attribute food, or daily necessities. After experiencing the last mission world, he decided to prepare like this in the future. Anyway, he could save it if he didn't use it up. When the time came, he was teleported to the mission world by rt9009.
When he opened his eyes, he found himself lying on the bed, surrounded by darkness, with the sound of rain in his ears and the smell of dampness in the air. He didn't rush to get up, but lay down to accept the memory of his original body.
The original body is called Zhang Hengfu, 43 years old this year, a single father, and has a 21-year-old son. Let's not talk about his son for now. Zhang Hengfu was born in an ordinary urban family. His father died of illness more than two years ago. Now he has an old mother who lives with him. It seems that the "elderly" in the elderly care should be Zhang's mother.
Zhang Hengfu works in an insurance company and has been a salesperson for more than ten years. He earns a tepid salary. When his son was five years old, his ex-wife broke up with him because of personality incompatibility. He has not found a partner since then. His family background is very simple. He is also an ordinary middle-aged man. He is dull and not good at speaking. He goes to work every day to make money to support his family. Now his biggest worry is to save money to buy another house for his son as a wedding house.
Yu Heng opened his eyes. This was the first time he had inhabited the body of his father, and he was still a middle-aged man. He turned on the bedside lamp. Not far from the bed, there was a plastic bucket holding rainwater, dripping.
This is a house in the old city. It has been patched up and repaired again. The price of building materials has been rising continuously in recent years. The original owner had to repair it himself, but there are always places that cannot be repaired. The tiles are drilled by rats. Sand keeps falling off at ordinary times. When it rains, rainwater keeps leaking. There is no choice but to use buckets to collect water.
Zhang Hengfu thought: Anyway, let's just live here! Now it will cost several thousand yuan to remove the roof and cover a new layer of tiles. It is better to save money to buy a new house.
As a result, it rained a lot at the beginning of this year. Zhang Hengfu was soaked in rainwater every day. Arthritis broke out early, and he also had muscle soreness.
Yu Heng took his pulse and found that he was too weak. Although he was 43 years old, he was in his prime. Such weakness was already unhealthy. Thinking of his frugality and giving his son a large amount of living expenses, he couldn't help but sigh that fatherly love is like a mountain. Unfortunately, Zhang Hengfu's son was used to relying on the mountain to eat the mountain. In his opinion, it was not a filial son.
He went to the kitchen and made himself a cup of brown sugar water. The brown sugar was bought for Zhang Hengfu's mother. After drinking it, he felt warm all over and felt much better.
He opened the door and saw that it was raining heavily outside. This kind of rain had lasted for more than three months, and it rained for half a month in a month. Fortunately, the drainage system in the old city was rebuilt after the big typhoon last year, so there was no flooding this year.
Yu Heng felt uneasy. This kind of uneasiness was very familiar. He had encountered this kind of climate disaster in previous missions. At that time, he had to take care of his pregnant sister. Later, the family moved to the tallest hotel nearby to avoid the disaster. As a result, a super flood really occurred later. In addition, there were ultra-low temperatures, wind and snow, and earthquakes in the later period... It was really one after another.
Regardless of whether this mission world is the end of the world in terms of climate, this house should not be lived in for the time being.
Yu Heng went back to the room to pack up and took out the passbook. In fact, Zhang Hengfu was not without money. He did not smoke, drink, or have any hobbies. When he lived at home with his mother, both of them were very frugal. After saving for so many years, he has saved a little more than 340,000 yuan. Originally, this amount was enough to pay the down payment in this county. Zhang Hengfu has already inquired about the newly built community near the best primary school here. The down payment of 200,000 yuan is enough.
But his son said that he wanted to stay in Zhongjing, the city where the university is located. During the Chinese New Year, he also said that his girlfriend is a local of the university, and his girlfriend's family does not want her to marry out. Zhang Hengfu has also seen the photo. The girl is very beautiful. It can be seen that she was raised by her family. If he had such a daughter, he would definitely not want her to marry far away.
In this way, the plan to buy a house will have to change. Zhongjing is a famous city in China. The price is skyrocketing. Zhang Hengfu works harder and lives more frugally!
Yu Heng shook his head and planned to take the money out tomorrow. First take the old mother to change places to live, then go to the hotel in the county, and then buy supplies, and the rest will depend on the situation!
He didn't have the good temper of Zhang Hengfu. He was in no mood to deal with a son who only contacted his father when he needed living expenses or to buy a house. He had to take care of himself and his original mother. His mother's room was also leaking.
He thought that perhaps the meaning of this task was to change the original body's goal. He had paid enough for his son, and his mother was still suffering with him as she aged year by year. He wanted to let his mother live a good life on behalf of his original body.
It was only three o'clock in the morning. Yu Heng was wearing the Zhulong robe that isolated the cold. This was a robe that could be used without spiritual power. Therefore, those powerful people among mortals also liked to buy such robes to wear. It was both practical and classy.
It is now the end of April. The continuous rainy days make the nights extremely cold. After putting on the Zhulong robe, Yu Heng sat cross-legged on the bed to practice the general principles of physical fitness. He has tried it. This mission world cannot cultivate immortality and cultivation.
Zhang Hengfu's health is too poor. By dawn, Yu Heng has not successfully cultivated the sense of qi. This is not something that can be achieved overnight. He did not get discouraged. He planned to take the gene improvement liquid and other marrow cleansing and body-building pills immediately after purchasing the supplies to quickly improve his physical fitness.
He went to the kitchen to cook breakfast. Zhang's mother was shocked when she woke up: "Why did you get up so early?"
"I woke up after I slept enough." Yu Heng brought out the porridge. Looking at the old man with white hair and frost on his face, he felt a little uncomfortable. He could never resist the old man. He deserved admiration for his hard work all his life. Zhang's mother was also very hard. Now she goes out early and comes back late for her grandson's wedding house.
"Mom, come and have breakfast. After breakfast, pack up the things at home and we'll go to the hotel."
Mother Zhang was stunned: "Why are we going to the hotel for no reason?"
"My house is leaking so badly that no one can live there."
Mother Zhang frowned and looked at him distressedly: "Hey, I told you a long time ago that I had to repair the house. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. You can't take care of everything for Xiaozhi. He has grown up and become an adult."
Yu Heng lowered his eyes and said nothing: "I know, Mom."
Mother Zhang knew that her son was stubborn and didn't believe him. She just said: "You go to the hotel by yourself. I won't go."
"Let's go together, Mom. How can I feel at ease if you live alone at home?"
Yu Heng insisted that Mother Zhang go with him. Mother Zhang couldn't persuade him and had to nod: "Then let's go to the one at the end of the village? That one is cheaper."
The old lady felt bad when she saw her son getting anxious about her grandson's wedding house. She was very frugal on weekdays. In order to help her son reduce the burden, she also did some babysitting and childcare work. It's just that it rained a lot recently, so people rarely go out. She also lost her part-time job, so she felt very distressed when she heard about staying in a hotel.
"Okay."
The mother and son cleaned up the house, put the TV, disinfection cabinet, the old man's bicycle and other more valuable things higher up, and then each of them went out with a package.
Even if the drainage system is well done, too much rain has caused a layer of water on the road. Yu Heng took Zhang's mother on a motorcycle to the hotel at the entrance of the village and asked for a double room on the fifth floor.
Just after settling down, a colleague called him: "Mr. Zhang, why are you late? Today is the last day of this month. You are so unlucky. You have lost your perfect attendance!"
Yu Heng smiled: "There is a water leak at home. I will send my mother to live in a hotel. Please help me to ask for leave! Take a few more days. It's okay. If he is angry, he will be angry. I have been angry with him for ten years. It's my turn to be angry with him. Okay, thank you, Brother Chen."
"Mom, I'm going to go out for a while. If you are hungry, ask the front desk to bring you food, okay?"
After Zhang's mother cleaned up, she started to do handicrafts, which was to glue boxes together. Each box only cost one cent. She has been doing this recently. He nodded: "Go and get busy, apologize to the leader, say this is a special case, say a few good words, don't really deduct your full attendance."
"I know, mom."
When he went downstairs, he told the front desk and paid for the meal: "Send me the meal on time, thank you for the trouble."
There has been a lot of rain in the past few months, and the price of rice has risen a bit. Although the authorities have taken price control measures, they have been implemented layer by layer to the lowest townships, and the price that should have risen has still risen. Yu Heng first went to the bank to withdraw the money, and then applied for a card to deposit half of it and withdraw the other half in cash.
He was very familiar with purchasing supplies, but the weather was bad and he was wet all over. After running for three days, he finally purchased everything and spent half of the money, filling up all 27 storage rings. Whether it was food or daily necessities, everything was ready.
Because of the rain, he also bought two inflatable rubber boats. With these things, he felt more at ease.
After that, he went to another hotel to book a room and took the gene-enhancing liquid. It took him nine days to get through it. When he returned to Zhang's mother, she was worried: "Why are you still on a business trip when the weather is so bad? Look how thin you are!"
"It's okay, Mom. I asked for leave and I'm going to rest at home recently."
Zhang's mother touched her son's face and felt very distressed: "You've really lost weight. How about I go home and make soup for you?"
"It's really okay. Here, Mom, this is the milk powder I bought for the elderly. You can make a bowl every day."
Zhang's mother touched the package: "How expensive is this?"
"It's not expensive. Mom, you must drink it. If you don't drink it, it will expire and be wasted."
Yu Heng took Zhang's mother to live in the hotel. He exercised every day and paid attention to current news. There was a lot of rain all over the world this year, which greatly affected crops and the prices of vegetables and fruits were getting higher and higher.
No matter how high the price is, people still need to eat vegetables and fruits. Yu Heng went to the market and bought two boxes of fruits. He ordered vegetables for every meal. He also bought a medicine pot and borrowed the kitchen from the hotel. He made Chinese medicine soup for himself and Zhang's mother every day. Soon, a month passed. Both of them were much better and their faces became rosy.
Zhang's mother was distressed about the money at the beginning, but later she saw that her son didn't care about money, so she didn't say much.
This rainy day lasted for a whole month. When it finally cleared up, Yu Heng ran outside to bask in the sun. He felt that he was going to mold.
