Reborn in 1977

Catching her breath, Jiang Lili continued busily, "Let's leave the fabric for now. The bedsheets, quilt covers, and clothes need to be washed before using them. The mosquito net can also be washed now, so it's ready to be put up when the weather warms up next year. There are a lot more mosquitoes in the countryside than in the city, so it needs to be ready as soon as possible. The cups, lunch boxes, and enamel basins need to be taken out; they'll be needed soon.

And the thermos. I'll boil some water later, so you can have hot water to drink tonight. The kettle can also be taken out. You'll be going out again in the next few days, so you can take some water with you to drink on the road.

Later, I'll split a bamboo tube for you to put the soap in. The bamboo tube can be placed on the shelf under the cabinet; the space there is just right for it. The new shoes can be put in the closet first, and then on the shelf after you wear them. Use the spring lock to lock the cabinet.

The wool army coat and leather shoes should also be placed in the upper cabinet, the rice and oil in the lower cabinet. I'll find a bamboo pole for you to hang the cured meat and fish, and the other things can be temporarily placed on the empty bed next to it, since no one is using it anyway. Oh, and the kerosene needs to be stored carefully. It's easy to catch fire if it spills, so you must be careful with it. It's best to put it in the corner."

After a flurry of activity, she breathed slightly heavily, turned around, and looked at Chen Fan, "Let's put the quilt aside for now and air it out tomorrow. We can use it after the bedsheets and quilt covers are washed. That's about it."

Watching Jiang Lili busily bustling about and chattering away, Chen Fan felt a faint sense of disorientation. It wasn't until she spoke to him that he snapped out of it, smiling at her and saying, "Thank you."

Then, looking around, he said with a smile, "You're really amazing. I wouldn't even know where to start with so many things, but you've organized them all in no time. I'm so grateful to have you."

"It's nothing."

Jiang Lili lowered her head shyly and then walked out, "I'll go boil some water."

Saying that, she ran out as if she were escaping.

Chen Fan raised his eyebrows, looked around, and saw that everything was in order, even better than he could have done himself.

He had been taking care of himself since long ago. Being taken care of by someone was a first for him since he had grown up.

But it felt pretty good!

It's just that he suffered a painful loss of a few household skill experience points.

Oh well, maybe next time.

After Jiang Lili boiled the water, she filled the thermos and the large teapot on the table. Then, she found a long bamboo pole and placed it on the other two wooden cabinets to hang the cured meat and fish. The sky had already completely darkened.

After looking around and finding that there was nothing else to do, Jiang Lili returned to her room.

Chen Fan washed up with two basins of water, closed the door, and turned the wick of the kerosene lamp down slightly, immediately dimming the light.

He poured a cup of tea into the clean enamel mug, then sat down on the chair, instantly exuding a lazy air.

It had been three days since he transmigrated, and Chen Fan was still a little dazed, wondering if this experience was just a dream. Maybe he would wake up and still be lying on the bed in his rented room, worrying about tomorrow's work.

But now it seemed that this dream was unlikely to end.

Thinking back to his previous life, after his parents passed away, it was unremarkable. School life was all about studying and doing odd jobs to earn money, still unremarkable. After graduating from college, the little inheritance his parents left wasn't enough to buy a toilet in a big city, so he could only work desperately, but his work was still unremarkable.

It seems that staying here isn't such an unacceptable thing?

Chen Fan leaned back in his chair, one hand on the head of the bed, the other holding the tea mug, his eyes unfocused.

What should I do if I stay here?

Save the world?

It doesn't seem like I have that much ability.

Although I got a little cheat, it doesn't seem to be of much use at the moment. It just allows me to learn things faster and makes my body stronger.

Even the skill panel is all about housework, cooking, teaching, slaughtering. The only slightly surreal thing is Animal Language.

Actually, Animal Language isn't that surreal. For example, the "Rites of Zhou: Autumn Official Sikou" more than 3,000 years ago recorded, "The Yi slaves are in charge of serving herdsmen, raising cattle and horses, and speaking with birds... The He slaves are in charge of serving the Bu clan, raising beasts, and teaching them to be tame, in charge of speaking with beasts."

This is saying that as early as the Western Zhou Dynasty, the court established two official positions, one was the Yi slave, and the other was the He slave. Among them, the Yi slave managed herdsmen, cattle, and horses, and could also talk to birds; the He slave was responsible for taming beasts and could talk to beasts.

Even at that time, a special "Animal Language" training class was opened in Haojing. Although the Zhou Dynasty was gone later, and this training class was also gone, people who knew this technology were scattered all over the country, so gradually there was a folk legend that they could communicate with birds and beasts.

Even Gongye Chang, Confucius' disciple and son-in-law, understood how to communicate with birds and was even recorded in history books.

And folk legends about people who understand Animal Language have never stopped.

So this skill is not that surreal.

However, this Animal Language is very useful in the countryside.

The countryside now is not what it will be in the future. In the countryside decades later, there will be high technology for farming, and various breeding methods will be scientific. But now it is not much different from ancient times, basically in a state of relying on cattle for plowing and people for planting rice.

Generally speaking, rural work in the 1970s basically consisted of two things: "planting" and "livestock."

Planting goes without saying, it's just farming.

And livestock includes breeding and draft animals. If you can understand how to communicate with animals, it will be of great benefit to Chen Fan's life in the countryside.

This is also the reason why he takes every opportunity to talk to the dogs. As long as he can improve the level of the Animal Language skill as soon as possible, even if he hides it, he can become a half veterinarian expert.

With this identity, it is almost invincible in the rural areas before the 1990s.

It's just a little pity that the dogs belong to other people, and it's not convenient to chat.

When life stabilizes in the future, I must get more dogs, cats, and chickens back, and practice every day behind closed doors. It is just around the corner to max out the skill!

When should I get a dog first?

Chen Fan scratched his hair, getting oil all over his hand.

Alas, life has been too good these days, with constant wine and meat. I haven't taken a bath yet, and I'm almost rancid.

I'll wash my clothes tomorrow, and then boil a pot of hot water and take a bath first.

By the way, is there a big bathtub here?

Then, Chen Fan suddenly brought his thoughts back and frowned.

What was I just thinking about?

Right, what can I do if I stay?

That is, what is the meaning of life?

Chen Fan patted his head, frowned tightly, and tried hard to recall what his ideals were in his previous life?

After thinking for a long time, he finally sighed.

I don't know when, the ideal was fed to the dog, leaving only to live well.

As for now, of course, it can't be that simple.

Then let's set a small goal first, solve the household registration problem first!

In this era, what does it mean to not have a household registration?

It means no identity certificate, no rationed farmland, no access to school, no formal employment in a unit, no introduction letter to go to other places, let alone participating in the college entrance examination, participating in social construction, and shining for the country.

So, the top priority is to solve the household registration problem.

Then, improve skill level as much as possible and keep the body in good shape.

After that, do whatever you want.

Awoo, so sleepy, sleep, sleep...

Chen Fan yawned, took a sip of hot water, then took off his cotton coat and got into the quilt.

Well, comfortable.

The experience before transmigration cultivated his easy-going personality, and it hasn't changed much after transmigration.

If he had any great ideals when he was young, now there is only one left, "to live freely."

I couldn't realize it in my previous life, let's see if I can realize it in this life.
