Happy life of a woman in the space apocalypse

Chapter 17 Different Times, Different Concepts

Just when Shang Weidong was secretly happy, a loud noise was heard in the backyard.

"I gonna go see."

Jian Wu shrugged, it seemed that the empty space still couldn't hold up.

When Shang Weidong came to the backyard, he saw that a large area of ​​wasteland outside the courtyard wall had collapsed, so he squatted aside to study it.

"Weidong, the ground here is not safe. It collapsed before I could move it a few times. I don't know how much more ground will collapse."

Shang Weidong used a shovel to dig up a collapsed area. How could the ground be hollow?

Jian Wu was watching from the side, and even if there was a hollow underground, she would not have thought about herself.

"How about this, build the wall a little further inward and leave this area empty."

Having said that, Shang Weidong looked at Jian Wu for advice.

"Sure, the yard is big enough, we just need to raise the walls to two meters and add some broken glass."

"Yes, it's safer this way."

Shang Weidong took a shovel and dug up the soil next to the courtyard wall. When he saw that there was no hollow space, he stuck the shovel into the ground.

"Let's start from here. We must build the wall today."

Otherwise he would definitely not be able to sleep well all night. The little girl is so carefree that he can't help but worry about her.

Shang Weidong continued to help with the work, taking every detail into consideration, while Jian Wu was responsible for delivering the cold mung bean soup to everyone.

By the evening, the courtyard wall was built and the collapsed house was demolished.

The workers took their tools and left very consciously. They were paid for their work without meals, which solved Jian Wu's problem.

Shang Weidong walked around the yard before he felt relieved. Jian Wu didn't care about other people's meals but she was determined not to let Shang Weidong leave with an empty stomach.

"Let's go to the state-owned restaurant for dinner. We don't have much food at home."

"No, I just saw some dried noodles and eggs in the cupboard. Can I make you some egg noodles?"

Jian Wu was not without some thoughts about Shang Weidong's enthusiasm and cautious questioning. She was not a fool. There was no such thing as being nice to someone without a reason.

She is not a white lotus who doesn't like to waste other people's feelings.

"Let's go to the state-owned restaurant. It'll be a reward for your hard work."

Having said that, Jian Wu went into the house, put on her bag and stood in the yard, not even giving Shang Weidong a chance to dissuade her.

"Okay, but eating out every day is quite expensive."

"It's okay, I'm just treating you to a meal."

Shang Weidong followed the little girl somewhat disappointedly. He had wanted to cook a meal himself so that she would see that he was good at housekeeping and they could get along better.

Shang Weidong was discouraged for a few seconds and then encouraged himself again. He had plenty of time to conquer the girl and he didn't believe that she couldn't see his goodness and sincerity.

"Jian Wu, the house will be completed in a few days. Have you thought about what you want to do in the future?"

"I've thought about it. I want to take the academic exam first. I don't have my previous diploma anymore, so I have to retake everything."

"Can I know what your previous education was?"

Jian Wu thought that she couldn’t go to university now, but she had been admitted to university in her previous life, so her academic qualifications certainly couldn’t be too low.

"Graduated from high school."

"You graduated from high school when you were fifteen?"

“I’ve never seen a genius!”

Jian Wu rolled her eyes. It’s just that her age is written as three years younger. Her ability is definitely enough to be considered a current high school graduate.

"No, that's not what I meant. I just didn't expect you to be so educated."

"It's OK. If there were no universities now, I would still like to go to university."

Just talking, she doesn't want to continue going to school.

"Then I'll ask for you and see if you can pass the exams to get the certificates for elementary and middle school. As for high school, it's harder. You may have to take classes before you can take the graduation exam."

Jian Wu refused directly. She also wanted to experience the world on her own and really didn’t want to trouble Shang Weidong with everything. After all, they had only known each other for a short time.

"I'll ask myself when I'm free. I want to take a break for a while."

She still needs to find a book to read first. The learning levels in the two worlds must be different. She is not confident enough to take the exam without reading.

Shang Weidong was disappointed again. He felt that the little girl didn't want to trouble him.

"Okay, tell me when you get into trouble. I still know some people here, so there's no need for us to take shortcuts."

"Okay, if it doesn't work, I'll come back to you."

When we arrived at the state-owned restaurant, there were much more people there than at noon, and there were three or four tables of people drinking and chatting.

"Hey, Weidong, you're here to eat too."

Shang Weidong turned around and found that they were colleagues from the factory. He nodded to them and continued to order food with Jian Wu.

"There's something wrong with this guy. Look how attentive he is. He usually has a blank expression on his face when facing us."

"The iron tree has blossomed. The girl's figure is pretty good."

"Hush, be careful or Weidong might turn against you."

When Jian Wu ordered the dishes and turned around, many people fell silent. Her appearance was good but not to the point of being shocking. It was a bit exaggerated.

"There is another table, let's sit there."

Shang Weidong frowned. The girl's appearance was too eye-catching. He glared at his colleagues. These guys deserved to be punished.

Jian Wu took a sip of soda. Even though it was hot, people in the hotel still knew to soak in well water. It was very comfortable to drink the cool water.

"You like sweet soda?"

"It's OK, it helps to cool down."

"My mother can make ice cream. She makes it several times every year during the autumn harvest. I'll ask her to make some for you to try later."

Jian Wu pursed her lips, as if Shang Weidong had never said that he liked her, and it would be embarrassing for her to say it on the spot.

"Don't bother, Auntie has worked very hard."

"It's not a big deal. There are many people working in our family, so my mother rarely goes to the fields unless it's the busy farming season. She usually just stays at home to take care of the children."

"That's good. Auntie is blessed."

Shang Weidong actually likes his family very much. The family is united. Even though his two sisters-in-law have some small thoughts, they are all for their own small families.

"Yes, we all love our daughters-in-law."

Jian Wu did not agree with this. In this era, no matter how favored a woman is, she cannot stop working hard for the family. It is taken for granted that she should cook and wash clothes.

Seeing that Jian Wu didn't react, Shang Weidong thought that she was disgusted by his family's troubles, and his heart immediately tensed.

"This time my family and my uncle's family have been separated, and we can live a more peaceful life in the future."

"Oh, that's alright."

What Jian Wu didn't understand the most was the situation in this era where a whole family still lived together after marriage. In the past life, marriage was basically a natural separation of the family, and both life and money were separated.

But we still have to write a letter of separation here, otherwise the whole family will wait until death, which is quite annoying.

Shang Weidong's family has only now separated from his uncle's family. It may take them several more decades to separate from their brother's family of more than a dozen people. It's scary to think about it.

Different times have different ideas. Jian Wu knows that it will take a long time for her to fully integrate into this era, but she is willing to calm down and get to know this new world.
