Finding his schoolbag from the dormitory, and following the swarming flow of people all the way, Su Zu stood at the door of Yangxin Middle School, feeling kind and strange.

The sound of buzzing and stumbling footsteps mingled, interspersed with the jingle of bicycle bells and the sound of scolding. The blue school uniform and other clothes of various colors converged into a wave of people, constantly passing through the school gate and pouring out into the street outside.

"Su Zu, do you want to give you a ride?"

A car bell rang behind him, Guo Wenxu was carrying a big schoolbag, riding a Phoenix bicycle that was some years old, and stopped on one foot.

"No, you can go back first." Su Zu glanced at the back seat of Guo Wenxu's bicycle and refused with a smile.

"Okay, I'll go first."

Guo Wenxu showed a sincere smile, and he didn't care about Su Zu's refusal, shook his hand, pedaled the bicycle forward again, and shuttled flexibly left and right while ringing the car bell in the crowded crowd.

"I think I used to ride a bike for a while."

Su Zu looked at the bicycles and flying teenagers and girls shuttling in the flow of people with a little nostalgia, and remembered that he had ridden a bicycle for a while when he was just in the first year of junior high school, but after riding a few times, someone always secretly pulled out the valve core of the bicycle, and then he simply stopped riding and walked directly.

Su Zu's family is in Yangping Village, which is five or six kilometers away from Yangxin Town, and it takes about an hour to walk along the main road, that is, the county road and the township road.

There is also a shortcut, you can save twenty minutes, but the road is not easy to walk, you have to take the river dam and the ridge path, the roadside is overgrown with weeds, if you are lucky, you can also meet one or two long insects lying in the middle of the road, and the footsteps of people startled into the reeds next to it.

Su Zu has been away from home for many years, and he only has a vague impression of that small road, and he doesn't bother to think about it, so he just takes the main road directly, four or five kilometers on the county road and one kilometer on the township road.

At this time, the road was still a yellow mud road, and it would take about another two years for Wuxing County to get the grant, and the county roads of several towns and villages began to hit asphalt roads. As for the township road, it will have to wait for the village to be covered by the project in ten years.

Along the way, Su Zu also saw many primary and secondary school students walking home like him, and from time to time they also appeared shouting loudly on bicycles in twos and threes, flying wantonly. There are also friends who know each other in the same village, riding a bicycle and asking Su Zu if he wants to give him a ride.

Su Zudu shook his head with a smile and refused, just this road condition, not to mention the ass in the back seat of the bicycle, many people and things are not right, so as not to get tired of talking.

Walking out of the road in Yangxin Town, he fastened the two straps of his schoolbag tightly, and started running directly along the right side of the county road.

At this time, he had time, and he wanted to test it to see how much potential he could improve when he went back from running.

It was autumn at the end of October, the weather was quite dry, and there was nothing muddy on the road, except for the occasional passing tractor and minibus to the county seat to roll up dust and fly.

The prefectural road is lined with large rice paddies, and it is the time of year for the autumn harvest. Many of the rice paddies along the roadside have been harvested, revealing patches of stems densely connected to the mud. You can see busy people everywhere in the fields, and some of the fields that have not yet been harvested, the golden and full and heavy ears of grain are continuous, and they are blown by the wind, forming yellow waves.

Running along the roadside all the way, the breath of the autumn harvest along the way made him quite happy. Except for the occasional sporadic passing by tractors and motorcycles, there are few other motor vehicles.

In his previous life, after he went to high school in the county seat, he was basically not at home during the busy autumn harvest and had forgotten the scene of the continuous golden rice fields in autumn. A limited number of times I went home for the New Year, and when I drove by, both sides were yellow and bare, and I didn't look at it at all.

More than ten years later, the three- and four-story buildings along the road have not yet appeared, and the occasional houses at the intersection of country roads are still just low-rise houses.

Along the way, Su Zu would accelerate and run for dozens of meters, and then jog for a few hundred meters, and when he was tired of running, he would walk slowly, and continue when he was relieved. Running and stopping all the way, Su Zu was sweating profusely, especially the back of the schoolbag, which was already soaked with sweat, and he could almost wring out the water.

Fortunately, he also found some patterns in the growth of the system's potential value, and the growth of potential value is mainly based on the movement he performs physical exercise.

He just jogged for more than 500 meters, I don't know if it was because he carried a schoolbag of seven or eight pounds, and his potential value increased by 0.3%, but he sprinted at full speed with his schoolbag for more than 100,200 meters, and his potential value increased by 0.4%, and then he walked slowly and rested, and walked more than 1,000 meters, and the potential value only increased by 0.1%.

After all, he is an adult with a lot of learning experience and work experience, and he can always analyze the system with reason and practice.

In this short period of time, Su Zu roughly divided the exercise to obtain potential value into three types: ordinary exercise methods, effective exercise methods, and extreme exercise methods.

The ordinary exercise method is that ordinary people walk, do an exercise, and soothe the muscles and bones, because this method has a limited effect on the whole body, and the potential value obtained each time is less, but it is the easiest, as long as the body is in a dynamic or stressful state.

Effective exercise methods, relatively jogging, race walking, weight-bearing, these are more obvious effects on physical exercise, Su Zu estimates that other such as skipping rope, push-ups, and planks should all increase, and the specific needs to be tried.

Extreme exercise method, this is the body every time with the maximum load, go all out to exercise, the potential value growth is the most, but this way is very hard, and the second is that it takes a certain amount of time to relieve fatigue after each exhaustion.

These three ways have their own advantages and disadvantages, the specific potential value growth and various attribute qualities, Su Zu also felt that there were many questions that needed to be slowly explored and analyzed, and this trip of five or six kilometers almost increased the potential value by 17%.

But this time, he could not care about this for a while, and after walking the last stone bridge across the river, he saw his home from afar.

Walking from the entrance of the village to the direction of home, Su Zu's footsteps suddenly became a little sluggish.

People say that they are cowardly in their hometowns. He traveled through time, went back to the past, and started his life again, and he had too many unspeakable emotions.

I went to junior high school in the town, went home once a week, went home in high school in the county seat, went home once a month, went to college in other places, went home once every six months, went out to work, and only returned home once a year or a few years.

Walking on the dirt road less than two meters wide, the weeds on both sides are luxuriant, accounting for almost a third, and you can vaguely see the tire tracks left by many tractors and motorcycles drying up after running over the roadside in the rain.

Next to the well in front of the house, the big willow tree with a thick hug had not yet been knocked down, and it was not until a few years later, when the road was widened, that it would be cut down by my father and the leaders.

Not far from the roadside, several figures of men and women were busy harvesting in the fields, and the sound of sickles cutting rice and threshing machines mingled. In the fields that have already been harvested, chickens, ducks and other poultry occasionally roam the fields in search of food.

Su Zu looked at the low bungalow in front of him, the two doors were closed and locked with locks. It was 2001, and the family house had to wait until 2012, when he made a fortune, to re-push it into a three-story bungalow. Looking at the past, the scene of three or four floors of buildings like small villas is still gone.

"Su Zu, are you out of school?"

Next to the well at the door of the house, an old man with a ruddy complexion was carrying water to wash vegetables, the old man only had one arm, and when he saw Su Zu coming back, he greeted him warmly.

"Well, it's out of school, Xu Sanye." Su Zu put his schoolbag on the open space next to the well, looked at the old man holding a bamboo pole hook and was about to carry water, stretched out his hand to help, and said, "Third Master Xu, I'm here to help you carry water." ”

The old man is Su Zu's neighbor, and it is not empty talk that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors in the countryside, and there will be friction and disputes between neighbors, but more often than not, they take care of each other. In my impression, when Su Zu encountered that his parents were not at home, he would go to Xu Sanye's house to eat.

"I also want your child to help, what strength do you have." The old man shook his head and refused, carrying water from the well with a two-meter-long bamboo pole with two fork barbs at one end. Hang the bucket handle on the bamboo pole hook, put it down in the well, shake the bamboo pole with one hand, and the bucket is filled with water, and the bucket is not unhooked. The broken arm fixed the bamboo pole in front of his chest, and the other hand quickly grabbed a piece of bamboo pole below, and with two consecutive strokes, a bucket of water was carried up. The whole action was smooth and there was no delay at all.

"Xu Sanye, amazing!" Even if he had seen it more than once, when he saw Su Zu again, he couldn't help but be amazed by the old man's skillful movements.

"Hey, what's that?" The old man's face was not red or panting, and he grinned, "What is this, I think when I was young, a hundred catties of rice could be sandwiched and walked two miles." By the way, you're hungry, so come over and eat later. Your parents are threshing grain, and I guess they won't come back so soon. Young man, hungry. ”

"It's okay, I'll just wait a while."

Su Zu looked back at the locked door, a little crying and laughing.

I forgot that at this time, everyone was threshing and harvesting, and their own family should be busy with this. I thought about picking up my parents, after all, bagging the harvested rice was a heavy task to carry the bag, but I found that I didn't remember where my field was.

simply put his schoolbag behind him, sat on a bench under the willow tree to rest, took a physical education class, and ran all the way back, just a little tired, in the attribute panel, his strength and endurance column values are low.

During this period, Xu Sanye also came to call twice and asked Su Zu to go to his house to finish eating. Su Zu did not agree, and made the old man a little unhappy, and later generations saw a lot of deceit and indifference, and at this time he returned to the neighborhood of his youth, and felt warm.

However, he is not the teenager who did not do much to do before, and he can try not to trouble others as much as possible.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the sky was getting dark, and a hand-pulled cart full of rice appeared on the road not far away, and two figures were in front of each other. In front of him was a middle-aged man with a small head, dressed in dirty clothes, and he was sweating profusely pulling the cart. Behind the cart was a peasant woman in a straw hat, pushing a cart behind a rice and straw hat.

Su Zu stood under the willow tree, looking at the two people pushing and pulling the cart through the smoke and lights near and far, and his eyes turned red.

After running over in a few steps, he looked at two familiar and much younger faces, and said with a little trembling lips: "Dad, Mom, I'm back." ”
