Go back in time and be a chaebol

Chapter 514

Regardless of their reluctance, in the last month of the 1940s, the migrant boats that had been flowing continuously in the South China Sea for the past few years finally stopped.

When an era ends, a new era also begins.

The disturbances in the outside world seem to be getting further and further away from Nanyang.

For most Nanyang people, they did not feel much impact from the drastic changes in the mountains and rivers. Although Zhou Xuan's "Night in Shanghai" is always played from the record player in the homes of some immigrants, such nostalgia for the old times only belongs to a few people.

For most people, they have begun their lives on this land.

"It should be snowing now in my hometown!"

December is supposed to be the time of winter, but the weather in Nanyang is still unbearably hot.

Although he has been in Nanyang for a year, Chu Tianqi is still not used to the winter here.

After living for more than twenty years, what is winter like in Chu Tianqi's heart?
There will be fog and snow at this time. When I wake up every morning, I see a field of ice and snow, and there are big trees without leaves.

As he said this in his heart, Chu Tiancheng felt a few drops of water on his face whether it was the rain blown by the wind or the tears.

"The weather here is really weird. It rains right away."

After taking two long puffs of cigarette, he focused on the book again.

Just as he was reading, a woman in a dress suddenly ran under the umbrella with a satchel on her shoulders. She wiped the rain off her body and said.

"That's true."

Summer is summer. It has entered the rainy season since November. It rains a lot, and the weather changes at any time. It was sunny just now, but in the blink of an eye, heavy rain fell. I sat on the sunshade in front of the welfare institution. Under the umbrella, Chu Tiancheng couldn't help but muttered as he looked at the campus shrouded in rain.

From that day on, I was alone.

Guessing the identity of the other party, Chu Tianqi replied.

"It's up to you to rely on yourself from now on..."

"No, I'm an employee of the company. I just like reading."

Japanese? Or Korean?

Not being fluent in Chinese exposed a woman's identity. In Nanyang, the easiest place to encounter foreigners is in universities - more than 90% of professors are foreigners.

Chu Tianqi, who was reading a book, reminded him without raising his head.

But here...it's summer all year round.

Once again, Chu Tianqi thought of his hometown, his mother and father, and what his father said when he sent him out.

"If this rainwater reaches my hometown, I'm sure there will be a good harvest next year."

Li Nanzhu, who was wiping the rain with a handkerchief, asked curiously when he saw the book in his hand.

"Dad, the bananas here are fragrant and sweet. Mom, they are so sweet..."

"It rains a lot in the rainy season. When you travel in the future, you can bring a folding umbrella."

"Are you a work-study student? No classes in the afternoon?"

"Good-for-nothing stuff..."

Chu Tiancheng, who had some difficulty moving due to a thigh injury, arrived in Nanyang. After being arranged by the employment agency, he became a freight worker at the Yong'an University Consumer Welfare Association. His job was still laborious, but he still earned 212 yuan a month. money salary.

Consumer welfare societies are very common in Nanyang. From the military consumer welfare societies in military camps to the consumer welfare societies in reclamation areas, including the consumer welfare societies in universities, they were all established during the construction period to meet internal consumption, as the name suggests. Like "Welfare", all goods in consumer welfare cooperatives are sold at a low profit, and the supplies are rationed according to scale. All kinds of goods are available and the supply is met. Members only need to use a "membership card" to buy various goods at reasonable prices. It’s not very expensive either. It’s almost like a membership-only supermarket, but ordinary citizens cannot enjoy this right.

The same is true for the Yong'an University Consumer Welfare Club. Only school staff, their families and students can spend money here. The prices of the goods sold here are relatively cheap.

Chu Tianqi's daily job is very simple, which is to replenish the shelves. This job is not heavy. Although it seems a bit boring, the surrounding environment brings him a lot of novelty.

After all, this is a university, the best university in Yongan,

What's in college?
In addition to professors and students, there are books. For Chu Tiancheng, who likes reading, this is simply paradise. As long as he has free time, he will go to the library to borrow books, read books, and even learn English by himself.

Meiko looked at the book in his hand, then at the welfare club behind, and then took the initiative to speak. "I am the new nurse in the school infirmary, Li Nanzhu. Could you please take good care of me in the future?"

A nurse in a university medical office?

Although he didn't know what he could do to take care of her, Chu Tianqi quickly stood up and said politely.

"I don't dare to take it. I don't take it. I don't need your care in the future. I, I'm afraid of injections..."

When these words came out of the mouth of a man who was 1.8 meters tall, Li Nanzhu was stunned for a moment and then laughed out loud.

Amidst the woman's laughter, Chu Tianqi looked at the woman's beautiful face and rain-wet dress. For a moment, he was dumbfounded. Feeling his gaze, Li Nanzhu felt a burning sensation on his face, but Her eyes still met his gaze without fear.

The eyes of the two people met in the air. Looking at the man, Li Nanzhu mustered up the courage to speak.

"Well, do the shops sell folding umbrellas?"

"Have!"

Chu Tianqi nodded.

"Then, can you introduce it to me?"

"Row."

"I haven't come yet and I need to apply for a membership card urgently."

"Use mine!"

……

The park is also very lively at night, with colorful lights flashing and laughter streaking across the night sky. People dance to the cheerful music, and the melodious music echoes in the park.

The night in Nanyang has always been like this, filled with an atmosphere of decay and depravity - in the eyes of some people, the night in Nanyang is indeed degenerate and corrupts people's will.

But the people inside are cheerful. Even if they don't dance, they will come here to enjoy the charming night.

Holding the man's arm, Li Nanzhu would occasionally cast her sights on the dance in the park. She once thought she would meet the right man there, just like in many Nanyang movies, but life is so magical.

An unexpected encounter changed everything.

The two of them were walking in the park and chatting.

"...Now, what I am most fortunate about is that my grandfather taught me to speak Chinese, so that I had the opportunity to come to Nanyang. You don't know, when I got the visa, everyone looked at me with envy..."

Speaking of excitement, Li Nanzhu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"So, when I was a kid, they said I was lucky. Well, I feel the same way now! Not only because of the opportunity to come here, but also because I met you when I first came here. So I feel like I'm extremely lucky. .”

Listening to Li Nanzhu's sigh, Chu Tianqi looked at the night sky silently, feeling that he seemed to be feeling a ray of nostalgia. Li Nanzhu raised his head, looked at his face quietly, and asked.

"Are you homesick?"

“Who doesn’t miss home?”

Chu Tianqi sighed.

"I miss my mother..."

Turning his head, Chu Tianqi looked at the woman beside him and said.

"I want to tell my mother that I was fine here, and now it's even better...because you are with me."

When he said this, Chu Tianqi looked at the woman next to him, looking straight at her, and Li Nanzhu's mind immediately thought of the movie he had watched. Now... what should he do?
By the way, it seems like I should close my eyes, and then... After closing her eyes, Li Nanzhu felt the call coming closer and closer, and her heart beat faster and faster...

Then she felt the man's rapid breathing.

At that moment, although her mind was blank, the words her mother had said to her when she was a child emerged in her heart:
My luck is the best!

Sure enough, my luck is very good...
