Chapter 18 Real World 2
With a blink of an eye, Liu Yuxi was back in modern times. She was adjusting to her middle-aged body, but this time she didn't immediately indulge in hot pot because she had to go to work.
I'm so upset! I never want to travel through time on a weekend night again. This time, I had to go straight back to work. Who can handle this?!
While crying, she washed up and ate her meal, and then the working class came online.
While at work, she thought about it and realized that the next time she traveled back in time, it would probably be to a timeline that was even further back, as she still had fewer items from that era in her space.
I found a small shop online that specializes in vintage items and bought fifty each of aluminum lunch boxes, enamel basins, enamel mugs, bamboo and woven thermos flasks, twenty each of thin and thick blankets, twenty sets of various bed sheets and covers, and 100 each of bright red pillowcases and red silk scarves.
Don't ask Liu Yuxi why he didn't collect things in the last world. The answer is that when he thought about it, everything required coupons, and when coupons were no longer needed, he forgot about it...
She only remembered it when she was taking stock after she got back, including the stamps. She didn't have any relatives or friends in her previous life and had always lived in Beijing. Later, when she needed to get help, she got telephones at work and home, so she never wrote letters again. How could she have remembered the stamps? But she'll have to remember them next time.
Liu Yuxi now has enough space to cover all her daily needs, except when she goes shopping with colleagues and friends. Oh, and there are also utilities like water, electricity, gas, property management fees, and phone bills. So, Liu Yuxi is currently very content and can live a carefree life without any pressure.
Of course, when people are free from the pressures of life, they pursue spiritual fulfillment more. She is now thinking about how to make her life more colorful.
After getting off work in the evening, she went home, ate dinner in her online space, and then went to the music room. She hadn't done a live stream in decades, and she missed her friends who had such kind words. She opened the live stream room, and netizens started coming in one after another. After chatting with them for a while, she started singing.
She was in a good mood today, so she was more talkative and sang mostly songs requested by her fans. Her fans noticed the difference in her behavior.
The live chat was full of questions asking her what good thing had happened. But she didn't answer. What did she say? That she could now relax and wait to die?
The Chinese New Year holiday is fast approaching. Their company usually extends the holiday from the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month to the 7th day of the first lunar month, and they start working again on the 8th day of the first lunar month, for a total of about ten days off.
She decided to take her parents to Sanya for the Chinese New Year this year. After that, they would finally be people who have seen the sea. Because of her reckless behavior, who knows how many more years she will be able to see the sea?
I told my parents in advance about my decision to spend the Chinese New Year in Sanya, and I booked a room at a seaside hotel in Sanya and booked my plane tickets in advance. Then we each packed our own luggage.
On the evening of the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, the holiday started, I flew to Sanya and took a taxi to the hotel I had booked. Since I had plenty of money, I booked a more luxurious hotel. My parents' room was a suite, and hers was a room with a swimming pool. Both rooms had floor-to-ceiling windows, so you could see the sea from inside.
The next day, the hotel arranged a car with a driver, since Liu Yuxi, although she could drive, hadn't gotten her driver's license yet, and they needed to arrange one for her when she returned to work after the New Year.
They spent the whole day enjoying Wuzhizhou Island. They were led to the island through a super VIP channel by their driver, while others had to queue for 2-3 hours to get on the island. For lunch, they had a seafood hot pot recommended by their driver.
In the evening, we went to Haitang Bay to go beachcombing and even went fishing with nets on the boat. For dinner, we made seafood porridge with the seafood we found while beachcombing and shrimp we bought from the boat, along with local specialties.
On the third day, which was Lunar New Year's Eve, the hotel made arrangements for the tourists to gather in the hotel's lounge. They came from all over the country and watched some performances. Some tourists even volunteered to perform. Then they made dumplings together, with the dishes provided by the hotel.
We had New Year's Eve dinner together in the late afternoon. After dark, a bonfire party and a barbecue were arranged on the beach. There was also a fireworks show at the turn of the year. The older folks watched the Spring Festival Gala in the hotel, while the younger folks enjoyed the festivities outside.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Yuxi and his family of three went to Nanshan Wenhua Garden, prayed for blessings at the Guanyin statue in the South China Sea, and visited this national 4A-level scenic spot. They ate a giant lobster seafood feast that day.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, we went to Yalong Bay Paradise Forest Park and enjoyed an unparalleled panoramic view of the "First Bay Under Heaven" from the top of the park. On the third day, we took a luxury yacht out to sea and also experienced helicopter travel. On the fourth day, the three of us stayed at the hotel and spent the day there.
Since the trip to sea on the third day of the Lunar New Year wasn't enough, they went out to sea again on the fifth day. On the sixth day, they just wandered around and shopped, buying a lot of dried seafood and local specialties, which they sent back by express delivery. Liu Yuxi also took the opportunity to store some of these items in her online space.
Liu Yuxi returned home on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, marking the end of the holiday. Her parents went back to visit relatives, and Liu Yuxi was about to resume her life as a working-class woman.
Because she posted on WeChat Moments when she went out to play, her colleagues knew that her family went to Sanya for the Chinese New Year this year. When she returned to work, she brought some local specialties for her colleagues. Her mind was still on work after the holiday, and it wasn't until after the Lantern Festival that the atmosphere in the company settled down and work began in an orderly manner.
Liu Yuxi feels that her current job is a bit easier than before. Although a person's experience will not increase their IQ, it will definitely increase their experience. She feels that she can communicate more freely with customers now and it is easier for customers to trust her. Signing a deal makes her feel happy, not only financially, but also with a sense of accomplishment.
However, passion for work is hard to maintain, especially when there is not much desire for money. So, in May, Liu Yuxi became lazy again and wanted to travel through time again.
However, according to the timeline, if I were to travel back in time, I would probably experience the three years of famine. Although there was coarse grain in the space, it would be different from that time. So I bought a grinder and a lot of sorghum and corn kernels. Every night I would grind the sorghum and corn into flour and mix the sorghum flour with the white flour in the space. I also ground the corn into two types: coarse and fine. I bought a lot of white pure cotton bags to separate the flour and then mixed the refined rice and some old rice in the space into broken rice.
Feeling that everything was ready, Liu Yuxi chose to travel through time on Sunday (Liu Yuxi's company's rest day is Monday).
