rebirth from small pockets

Chapter 339 The “sister” I haven’t seen for almost thirty years

"Do you want to receive it?"

"Do you want to receive it?"

The system prompts in Chen Li's mind were flashing continuously. This was actually the first time.

In the past, even when the system released promotion tasks, it was never so "urgent".

So, is the system in a hurry?

Hmm~ I hope the system is not anxious because Chen Li said that he will not exchange items from the system mall in the future.

Well~ Actually Chen Li estimates that this possibility is not high!

According to what Chen Li thought, the system was really a little anxious this time, and this anxiety was not the obvious threat in Chen Li's previous words.

What's more, it may come from Chen Li's "approval" of the system!

After all, Chen Li said that he regarded the system as a friend, but the system actually cheated him, which is somewhat unreasonable.

If the system's character is a cunning "profiteer", then Chen Li probably wouldn't even bother to act out like this with the system.

But the system gave Chen Li the impression that he was more like a young girl whose mind was not yet very mature.

Hmm~ Because the voice of the system was a female voice, Chen Li subconsciously thought it should be a little girl.

And this kind of immature little girl is easier to fool.

This kind of deception does not mean just "licking". This thing also requires methods.

Appropriately venting some small emotions and letting the other party feel your "anger" will actually be more conducive to harmonious coexistence in the future!

After all, this system thing, if nothing unexpected happens, should always exist!

So relatively speaking, Chen Li hopes that he has a "sincere" system.

Just like the system explained before, the system is here to assist Chen Li to make his life better. Since it is an assistance, it must have the appearance of assistance.

In fact, Chen Li didn't realize a problem. When he was playing tricks on the system, he had actually subconsciously personified the system!

No~ It can even be said that it is not anthropomorphic. Chen Li is really treating the system as a real "person".

And this is the reason why the system has been unable to respond for a long time.

Because human "emotion" is too difficult to calculate, even if the system wants to calculate this kind of human thinking purely using computing power, it takes a lot of effort and the result is that it has not yet come to any accurate conclusion.

In the end, the system chose the most likely possibility, which was Chen Li’s approval!

"Do you want to receive it?"

"Do you want to receive it?"

The mission status was still flashing, and finally, Chen Li chose to receive it.

"receive!"

For Chen Li, he must receive it.

After all, he has been "bound" to the system for a long time, and it is impossible for him to fall out with the system!

Nowadays, Chen Li has long been accustomed to the existence of the system, so it is the wisest choice to stop when things are good.

And as Chen Li chose to accept the task, the status of the task directly changed to completed!

"The task is completed. The host has accepted the system's apology. Congratulations to the host for getting five lucky draw opportunities and raising his credit level to level two."

"I wipe.!"

Chen Li was a little confused. He originally thought that this task required some formality, such as showing off his acting skills or something.

The result surprised Chen Li. As soon as he took over the task, it was completed directly and the reward was obtained directly.

There's something wrong with this!

However, after reading the system prompts, Chen Li understood. If he dared to accept this task, it meant that Chen Li accepted the system's apology, so he got the task reward directly!

"Uh~!"

Chen Li was a little speechless. To be honest, it would be great if the system's promotion tasks were so simple. He wouldn't have been stuck for so long on one promotion task and only completed 1/2 of it.

The mission is completed and the reward is obtained, but the drama still needs to be performed.

"System~ What I need is not these rewards, but your apology."

At this moment, Chen Li focused on the rewards issued by the system, and then... curled his lips!

The mission rewards given by the system are actually not bad, but these five lottery opportunities make Chen Li feel a little bit pained!

Five lottery chances are actually five thousand mall currency.

Chen Li has played the system's lottery roulette many times, with a thousand mall coins once, but he has never drawn anything good.

Since the appearance of this lottery roulette, Chen Li has spent nearly 20,000 mall currency here one after another.

Before every draw, Chen Li felt that he was probably going to win the big prize this time, especially since the lottery system had never given out anything good, Chen Li always felt that he should be able to win the next time.

However, after drawing nearly twenty times one after another, Chen Li drew a total of 5 items, except for the empty thank you for your patronage.

And these five items, without exception, are all formulas.

Hmm~ That's right, it's the kind of formula that's clearly priced at 100 mall coins each.

Uh~ Well, there is actually a relatively precious formula worth up to 500 mall coins.

That thing is a medicinal wine recipe, but the main ingredients can no longer be found.

To make medicinal wine according to this recipe, Chen Li had to be prepared to spend several years there.

Therefore, Chen Li has long given up on the lottery system of the system.

Five lottery chances are meaningless, and five thousand mall coins would only last a few days for Chen Li today.

As for the latter credit rating, it is a bit interesting. His previous credit rating was level one, and his credit limit was one million mall currency.

Now that it has been upgraded to Level 2, the credit limit has suddenly increased to 5 million.

This is of some use to Chen Li, because Chen Li's current mall currency is simply not enough to exchange for the items he wants.

Moreover, he still owes the system one million mall currency, and now he has to pay a lot of interest to the system every month.

This is why Chen Li can't wait to develop Ideal Fried Chicken. He must make the Ideal Fried Chicken chain quickly reach a certain scale, because only in this way can he save some money after paying back the interest in the system.

principal.

As for the 350 security package that he originally wanted to exchange, Chen Li didn't plan to exchange it now, and he didn't have that much mall currency.

He thought that when the fried chicken restaurant grew in scale, he would be able to save mall currency much faster every month, so that in a few months, he could first exchange it for a 350 security system.

Now that the credit limit has been upgraded, Chen Li has saved this step.

Hmm~ Not bad, Chen Li is somewhat satisfied with this reward.

I have to say, this way of spending tomorrow’s money today is really addictive.

Before, Chen Li swore that he would not use the system mall's credit limit, but now, he wished that the system would give him more credit so that he could exchange for more useful items.

If I could use one word to describe Chen Li at this moment, it would probably be

"It smells so good~!"

Well~ Now that the reward has been obtained, Chen Li also started his final "performance"!

Just when Chen Li was about to continue pretending, an operation of the system stunned Chen Li.

"Are you sure the host wants to give up these mission rewards and choose to accept the system's apology?"

"If you choose the system's apology, then these task rewards will be recycled."

"Hiss~!"

Chen Li almost cursed at that time. Fortunately, he thought the system AI looked like a little girl before, but now. What kind of little girl is this? This is obviously a annoying little goblin.

Chen Li felt that he had lost face, so he decided to be tough.

"Hmph~! I don't care about these mission rewards at all."

"These things are not mission rewards. It's just that you think the system is wrong and you want to use these to block my mouth."

"Am I, Chen Li, the kind of person who can be bribed with a little favor?"

The first few sentences Chen Li said were righteous, but then he changed the subject.

"But, as a friend of the system, I know you won't be able to step down if you do this."

"So I decided to give you a step down!"

"I accepted the mission reward, not because I care about these things, but because I feel that if I accept these things, our relationship will become more harmonious, so I choose to accept it!"

"Ahem~ What's that? I remembered something else, so I'll leave first."

After finishing speaking, Chen Li exited the system space.

After a while, a voice that sounded like a murmur or a whisper came out of the system space.

"Human thinking is indeed too complex."

But maybe the system blocked Chen Li, so Chen Li didn't hear this sentence.

Although Chen Li left a little hastily, even a little panicked, he was right in saying one thing, he did still have things to do.

This matter is not a big deal, it's just that Chen Li has to meet a relative.

In fact, to be precise, this person and Chen Li are not really relatives. Even if they were, they would have been out of the fifth server a long time ago!

Today is the first day of the May Day holiday. Chen Li originally planned to take his girlfriend out for fun on this day.

But Chen Li’s Miss Liu has recently transformed into Xueba Liu. Even during the May Day holiday, Miss Liu chose to continue recharging her batteries.

Chen Li originally wanted to advise Liu Qingqing to pay attention to the balance between work and rest, but in the end, Liu Xueba dismissed him by saying, "We will still have a long time to get along with each other in the future, but now the final exam is not far away."

Miss Liu has her own ideas, and Chen Li also respects her ideas very much.

Even Chen Li felt that instead of Miss Liu thinking nonsense every day, it would be better for her to actively participate in her own life.

And isn't it just studying? Chen Li can still go to Yanda to accompany her.

As for playing, I’m really not in a hurry!

Just like Liu Qingqing said, they still have a lifetime ahead of them~ There is no rush to spend this May Day holiday!

After confirming the arrangement, Chen Li decided to deal with some things that had been put on hold before.

For example, Sister Xiaomei, who has already asked Chen Li's mother to urge him three times.

Sister Xiaomei, whose full name is Wang Xiaomei, is the daughter of Chen Li’s fourth cousin’s family.

However, the relationship between this fourth cousin and the Chen Li family is actually quite weak.

This fourth cousin is actually from Wangjia Village.

Wangjia Village is neither big nor small. Almost all the people in the village have the surname Wang. If you really want to count, basically all of them are related to each other.

Of course, this kind of relationship is meaningless. The key is to look at the specific distance of the relationship.

Chen Li basically had no impression of this fourth cousin. However, Chen Li's mother, as a native of Wangjia Village, knew him well.

However, it is limited to acquaintance. Generally speaking, every time Wang Dongmei returns to the village, if she meets her, she will probably ask "Have you eaten?"

Even during the Spring Festival, Chen Li would not go to his fourth cousin's house to pay New Year greetings. He had never received any New Year's money from his fourth cousin.

There is nothing strange about this relationship, because if you really think about it, almost the entire Wangjiacun and Chen Li have this kind of relationship.

The only difference is that this fourth cousin has a daughter, Wang Xiaomei.

This Wang Xiaomei used to take care of Chen Li when he was young.

Yes~ When Chen Li returned to Wangjiashan when he was a child, this sister Xiaomei often took Chen Li, who was still a little kid at that time, around the mountain.

But in fact, Chen Li had a very weak impression of Sister Xiaomei, so much so that he could hardly remember what she looked like.

He only vaguely remembered that Sister Xiaomei always wore a braid, and basically couldn't remember the rest.

This is not to blame for Chen Li’s poor memory~!

Chen Li in his previous life did not make a fortune, so his fourth cousin actually had little contact with the Chen family in his previous life.

Moreover, after the death of Chen Li's grandmother in his previous life, Chen Li rarely returned to Wangjiashan. Even when he did go back, he would only have a meal at his aunt and uncle's house, and return to Erlong Town on the same day.

As for this life~when Chen Li was reborn, this sister Xiaomei had already gone out to work. Even when she came back during the Spring Festival, the relationship between the two families was only average, so she never met her.

So Chen Li and this sister Xiaomei haven’t seen each other for 20 to 30 years!

Hmm~ This is the number added up from past and present lives!

After not seeing each other for such a long time, Chen Li could still remember the other party's braids, which was actually pretty good.

However~all this has changed after Chen Li's "rise" last year.

On New Year's Eve, Chen Li received a call from the man who claimed to be his fourth cousin.

At that time, Chen Li just said a few polite words to the other party and handed the phone to his mother.

Later, I learned from my mother that the sister Xiaomei who was said to have taken care of him when he was a child was working in Yanjing.

The purpose of this fourth cousin's call is naturally easy to guess. Who asked Chen to get a haircut now?

In fact, there are many people like Chen Li, the "fourth cousin", but the others are not in Yanjing, and Chen Li is easier to refuse.

But this sister Xiaomei is different. Firstly, this fourth cousin is relatively thick-skinned, and Wang Xiaomei is in Yanjing City, so Ms. Wang probably can't refuse easily, so she pushed the matter to Chen Li.

.

This kind of thing may be difficult to solve for others, but it is not that complicated for Chen Li.

It’s just a job, or a not-so-complicated job, for whom should I do it?

Whether it's a relative or a stranger, as long as he is willing to work hard, Chen Li is willing to pay him wages.

If you do your job well, it’s okay for Chen Li to be promoted!

But what surprised Chen Li was that when he returned to Yanjing and contacted this sister Xiaomei and wanted to meet, the other party refused Chen Li's meeting because she was too busy with work and had no time to meet.

At that time, Chen Li didn't think anything was wrong and just made an appointment to wait until Miss Xiaomei was free to talk later.

But Chen Li was very busy at that time, so he forgot about it all of a sudden, and Sister Xiaomei never contacted Chen Li.

Neither Chen Li nor Wang Xiaomei has contacted each other, but Chen Li's fourth cousin has been contacting Chen Li's mother.

Then Chen Li's mother called Chen Li again, and Chen Li was helpless~ He had no choice but to contact this sister Xiaomei.

This time Chen Li was still rejected, and the reason was still not valid. Now Chen Li was very angry.

Although Chen Li is not a big shot, isn't Wang Xiaomei's arrogance too big?

After Chen Li was rejected, he directly called the fourth cousin. He was not polite and told the fourth cousin the whole story, and then got a little angry.

Hmm~ Yes, it’s just a strange yin and yang thing.

Chen Li's temper is actually not bad, but he is not as good as expected. He was rejected twice in a row, so Chen Li was naturally unhappy.

Originally, Chen Li thought that this matter was over, but just before the May Day holiday, Chen Li received a call from Sister Xiaomei, who apologized to Chen Li sincerely.

This matter was not serious in the first place, and Chen Li didn't take it too seriously.

This time, Wang Xiaomei invited Chen Li to meet, and Chen Li naturally planned to refuse.

In fact, he had already done so, but Ms. Wang called again and urged Chen Li to meet this sister Xiaomei.

Moreover, Ms. Wang also told Chen Li some things, and it was precisely because of these things that Chen Li finally changed his mind and agreed to meet this sister Xiaomei, whom he had not seen for "twenty or thirty years."

Chen Li drove the fried chicken restaurant's van and arrived at the appointed location.

This is a restaurant, very close to where Wang Xiaomei lives. It is not a high-end restaurant, but a pretty good small restaurant.

"Wait a moment, I have a friend who hasn't arrived yet."

Chen Li found a seat and sat down, dismissed the waiter who came over to order, and then took out his cell phone and dialed Wang Xiaomei's pager again.

Chen Li originally thought that Wang Xiaomei would find a public phone to call him back as before, but what he never expected was that his cell phone rang less than two minutes after the pager was called.

And according to the caller ID, the person calling him was a mobile phone number starting with 130.

At that time, Chen Li thought it was someone else calling him, but when the call was connected, he realized that the call was actually from Wang Xiaomei.

And as Chen Li answered the phone, Wang Xiaomei's voice sounded simultaneously from the microphone of Chen Li's cell phone and from the door of the small restaurant.

Before Chen Li had time to think about it carefully, he subconsciously answered and looked towards the door of the restaurant.

"I heard your voice, I'm at table 5 uh ~ 5!"

Chen Li's tone obviously paused, because at this moment he had already seen Sister Xiaomei, whom he had not seen for almost twenty or thirty years.

Her beautiful facial features are matched with exquisite makeup, her slim figure is wrapped in a black lace dress, and she wears a pair of high-heeled shoes with a heel that is estimated to be close to ten centimeters.

What surprised Chen Li the most was that the only braid he had any impression of was gone, replaced by a big wave.

To be fair, Wang Xiaomei's outfit was absolutely stunning at this time in 1999.

The combination of reasonable outfits and cosmetics has made Wang Xiaomei's appearance, which was originally only a seven-point score, directly improved to a nine-point score.

This makes Wang Xiaomei look not at all like a person who came out of the ravine in Wangjiashan, but like a rich lady born and raised in Yanjing.

But it's a pity that the word "socialite" is not a good word among Chen Li.

As Chen Li, who had been hanging out in nightclubs for many years in his previous life, he smelled something both strange and familiar from this "sister" who could barely be considered a half-relative.

Thinking of the things his mother told him to observe, Chen Li couldn't help but make some guesses.

"No wonder you didn't want to see me before, that's why!"

Chen Li sighed inwardly, but still waved to the other party with a smile on his face.

Wang Xiaomei looked over, with a happy smile on her face, and jogged a few steps. The nearly ten centimeter high heels felt like flat shoes on her feet.

When they arrived, Wang Xiaomei first looked at Chen Li, and even extended her hand to make a gesture.

"Ah~ Xiaoli, I haven't seen you for so many years, and you've grown so tall!"
