In the winter of 1962, heavy snowfall.

The room of about ten square meters is dim and cramped, and you can faintly smell a musty smell.

As soon as it was dawn, the room was like an ice cave.

Xu Qiang was woken up by freezing.

Trembling and getting dressed, he rolled up the old bedding, which was damp and completely unrecognizable, and pulled his shoes down to the ground.

The fire in the stove had been extinguished, and he reached out and touched the large kettle on the stove.

Cool wow wow!

The wind was blowing outside, the window paper was rattling, and the cold wind was pouring from the corners into the house.

The house was so cold that not even a monkey could be tethered.

Xu Qiang sighed heavily, took out firewood from the firewood kiln under the kang and lit the stove.

He crossed!

Although I don't want to admit it, the facts cannot be refuted.

In his previous life, he was a grassroots employee of a company, and he worked overtime until late at night for several days, and finally couldn't bear it one night.

His eyes were black, and when he woke up again, he was Xu Qiang, and there was a boxy grid-like system in his mind.

It's just that now it's dusty, and it's only bound and hasn't been activated.

A series of memories poured into his mind, and Xu Qiang knew that he had crossed into the courtyard full of love, Xu Damao's own brother.

The light of the fire in the stove began to light up little by little, and Xu Qiang finally felt a trace of warmth.

After baking the fire for a while, he felt a lot warmer on his body, and then he came out of the outhouse.

The 20-square-meter house is divided into an inner room and an outhouse, with the inner room being used as a bedroom and the outhouse being used for cooking.

The stove was built under the window, and next to the stove was a large water urn and a low cabinet.

Diagonally opposite the corner of the wall was a tall cabinet with lost paint, a camphor wood chest, and a lame table of eight immortals placed on the side of the box, with half a brick underneath.

The most valuable thing should be the two official hat chairs, although the black paint is so black that you can't see the original color.

However, it was the only piece of furniture in the room that was not faulty at all.

On the left hand side of the door is a single bed with a bamboo mat on it, dirty clothes, stinky socks, black towels, and enamel washbasins.

The damp mold road, coupled with the strange smell, made Xu Qiang can't help but wonder how the original owner lived.

He found a toothbrush and toothpaste, took a cup and went outside to the faucet to brush his teeth.

As soon as he opened the door, a cold wind poured in, and Xu Qiang subconsciously shivered.

In front of him was a white expanse, and the cold wind slashed his face like a knife with snow foam.

Xu Qiang stepped on the snow and walked to the faucet to prepare to receive water, but found that the faucet was frozen and could not produce water.

He hurried into the house, scooped a little water into the urn by the stove, and began to brush his teeth.

"Hiss......"

The water was so cold that his back molars were trembling.

Holding back the biting cold, he brushed his teeth tremblingly, and began to make a fire to cook.

As for washing your face......

Wait until there is hot water before washing.

As the water in the pot came out of the steam, the whole yard was lively.

Families get up, old men and young boys sweep the snow, old ladies cook at home, and children play in the snow in the yard.

With a "squeak", the door opened, and a person came in the room.

Xu Qiang looked up and saw that the person who came was his brother Xu Damao:

"Silly Qiang, why are you getting up so early today?"

Xu Damao is a film projectionist in the rolling mill, took over his father's class, and his life is a hundred times better than Xu Qiang.

To say that Xu Damao is a complete villain, he is not so bad to his own brother.

Xu Qiang used to eat and drink with a group of fox friends and dog friends, and every time he had no money or tickets, he asked Xu Damao for it.

Although Xu Damao scolded and scolded, and sometimes cut him with his hands, he gave it every time.

"Brother, aren't you going to work today?"

Xu Qiang took the enamel jar and poured the water in the pot into the thermos while talking.

Everything was pitch black and greasy.

Today, he is ready to come back from work and clean up the house.

"I just came back from a movie in the countryside yesterday, and I'm resting at home today, what are you going to eat early in the morning, and I'll make some by the way?"

Xu Damao stared at the stove, and there were two eggs in a coarse porcelain bowl, which was the only thing in Xu Qiang's house that could be eaten.

As for rice and flour or anything, there is none.

"I only have two eggs left at home, so I made an egg soup and drank it warm."

If it were the past, Xu Qiang would definitely not give Xu Damao egg soup.

The original owner felt that his father was partial to his eldest brother since he was a child, and he taught his eldest brother the technique of playing movies.

The eldest brother went to the rolling mill to take over his shift, and he only got a job as a temporary worker in the materials department.

The eldest brother's salary is 42 yuan 5 a month, and his own salary is 16 yuan 5 a month.

When the house was divided, the eldest brother's room was 30 square meters, and his own room was 20 square meters.

The only advantage he has over his eldest brother is his academic qualifications, his eldest brother graduated from elementary school, and he graduated from junior high school.

Of course, this is the reason why I study well.

However, the original owner has never reflected on why he became a temporary worker in this year, with a junior high school education.

Since Xu Qiang was sensible, the brothers didn't deal with each other, and he always made trouble for Xu Damao.

But for Xu Qiang now, none of this matters.

He knew that in the minds of the old people in this era, the eldest son would have to provide for the elderly in the future.

Therefore, the resources of a family naturally tend to be more inclined to the eldest son.

Xu Damao glanced at his younger brother in some surprise, as if he knew him for the first time:

"Have a bowl of egg soup for me?"

"Yes, there are more eggs for you."

As Xu Qiang spoke, he broke up the two eggs in a bowl and poured them into the boiling water.

He went to the low cabinet next to him and took out another coarse porcelain bowl, filled a large bowl for himself and Xu Damao, and put his own bowl on the table of the Eight Immortals to sit and drink.

Seeing this, Xu Damao also picked up his bowl and sat down to drink.

Maybe it was not warm in the house, or maybe the egg soup was too delicious, so the two brothers didn't say a word and drank a big bowl of egg soup.

"Hoo ......"

Xu Qiang exhaled a long breath, feeling that all his internal organs began to warm up.

After drinking the egg soup, Xu Qiangmali put away the bowl and began to wash the pot.

There is no way, there is no daughter-in-law and can only do it by herself.

Xu Damao stared at his younger brother for a long time, and he was still the same person, but he felt that he had changed his core.

He took out a large unity from his trouser pocket and put it on the table of the Eight Immortals:

"There is so much left for this month, you save some flowers, and there is still a month before the New Year."

"I see, brother."

Xu Qiang brushed the bowl and answered, and he was not polite to Xu Damao.

Mainly, the original owner's pocket is whiter than his face, and he is really poor when he forces down the hero with a penny!

After cleaning up the stove, Xu Qiang put away the big unity and put it in his trouser pocket.

"Ding, welcome to activate the unlimited exchange system, the balance is ten gold coins, you can go to the mall to shop."

The voice of the system suddenly sounded in my head.

Xu Qiang felt it carefully and found that the grid-like system had changed greatly.

The blank grids that floated in the air had been filled with a dazzling array of goods.

The commodity area is divided into two categories, the living area and the skills area.

The living area displays all kinds of meat, fruits, vegetables and vegetables, rice, flour, grain and oil, cloth, clothing, shoes and socks, pots and pans and other daily necessities.

The skill area is dusty, and it has not been activated yet, so it should be because there are too few gold coins.

Under each grid, there are corresponding gold coins for purchase, one gold coin for pork, one gold coin for beef, one gold coin for beef, and so on.

Below the space, there is a space, the radius is only about two feet, Xu Qiang just moved his mind to receive the big unity in his trouser pocket into the space.

As the thought turned, the great unity appeared in his trouser pocket again.

In an instant, a thousand ways to use this system came to his mind.

Coins can be topped up with real money, or they can be rewarded by completing system tasks.

One gold coin and one dollar.

His current ten gold coins are due to the great unity in his pocket!

This cheat ...... Wonderful!

Xu Qiang's eyes lit up and he couldn't help grinning.

You know, he works in the material department, and what he needs most is materials.
