Chapter 257: Chapter 222: Where Does Your Dad Usually Hide the Household Register?

Jiang Nian hesitated, curiously asking.

"Just asking, the bugs you’re talking about refer to?"

On the other side of the corridor, Ma Guojun leaned in with a round chubby face, laughing loudly.

"He’s mocking you."

Li Hua turned his head to glance at Ma Guojun, his mouth crooked.

"Making a fuss, where’d this 500-pointer stray dog come from. Kneel and bow! Become my slave, or no one in heaven or earth can save you!"

Jiang Nian laughed and cheerfully threw out a line.

"New China doesn’t have slaves."

The classmates gathered around, laughing, exhausted from the evening self-study like dogs.

People were no different from animals, loving to watch classmates put on little skits during leisure time.

Sometimes the boys in the class chatted about off-the-wall topics, like in movies and TV shows...

Could the lady who’s going downstairs to throw out the trash really have an affair in twenty minutes?

The boys immersed themselves heavily in it, offering strategies.

For example, leaving the trash aside then sprinting 100 meters to get into a car.

As long as the backseat of the car is big enough. It’d melt like snow in the scorching sun, regardless of the degree.

Aside from that, similar topics would be discussed in the boys’ dorm late-night chats.

The year you trust your roommates the most, doomsday, porn, porn, porn, everything’s discussed. If someone records, you could say the first three years will be state-provided meals.

The fourth period of evening self-study.

For the most part, school life was actually quite dull, and the classroom was relatively quiet. As soon as an assignment came in suddenly, it could control the class for half an hour.

After school, he waved goodbye to Zhang Ningzhi and left.

Downstairs.

Jiang Nian originally intended to find Xu Qianqian but first ran into Zhou Haifei, who was running out of the Olympic competition’s third class with her head down.

She froze for a moment and stammered out a sentence.

"You... hello."

"Ah, heading back to your dorm?"

"Yes... yes." Zhou Haifei hurriedly left.

About twenty seconds later, Xu Qianqian emerged with her backpack, curiously asking.

"Who were you chatting with?"

"Oh, your classmate Zhou Haifei." Jiang Nian walked downstairs with the crowd, speaking the truth, "Her meal card didn’t have money during lunch, so I helped her pay."

"It was just four yuan, then she got coins from her classroom to pay me back."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qianqian nodded in acknowledgment and tightened her backpack straps, saying.

"Zhou Haifei, she..."

Halfway through speaking, Xu Qianqian glanced at the people around the staircases. Seemingly noticing someone, she simply fell silent, following the crowd downstairs.

It wasn’t until they left the senior high school building and walked on the road leading out of the school that she continued speaking.

"You did a good deed; I quite admire Zhou Haifei."

"What do you mean?"

"Her family’s kind of like that, doesn’t let her study." Xu Qianqian hesitated for a moment before quietly saying, "They say it’s better for a girl to marry when she grows up."

"Damn, are they even human!" Jiang Nian got a bit angry.

Zhen Nan’s like that; he wanted to say something rebellious but held it back. Ultimately, it’s a human issue, with a poor local custom.

Why the bad custom? Poverty!

Why poverty, poor local custom, bad geographic location... too many reasons. In summary, thanks to Guangdong’s blessing, at least going south for work was convenient.

The general hadn’t led people south yet, but relatives had already gone south for many years.

Ding! Congratulations, you were born.

Checking the assets, huh?

How is byd a negative number?

-388,000, gosh, zero is longer than my life!

Looking down again, where are my baby clothes, why is it a dust-free suit from an electronics factory!

Bro, are you even human!

To hell with it, might as well jump.

Thinking this, Jiang Nian’s tone was inevitably tinged with a bit of emotion.

"In a poor place like Zhen Nan, the countryside has a bit of male preference over females."

"But no matter what, with such good grades, they should at least let her study."

Actually, if the people don’t report, the officials don’t investigate. Marrying off daughters is a killer move, straight up putting them on a wealth-creating trick.

"Anyway, it’s quite absurd. Last time when applying for poverty assistance, Zhou Haifei said in the classroom that her family was poor and had no labor force." Xu Qianqian said.

"Later on, seeing she couldn’t qualify, you know what our new class teacher is like. She might really need that subsidy, so she was forced to say a bit more."

"But I think she might only have told part of it, maybe another part is not easy to say."

"How did she handle the poverty assistance? Would her parents agree?" Jiang Nian curiously asked, "These things need guardians to prepare the materials, and find people to stamp them, right?"

"Yeah, they would definitely cooperate; her good grades in the senior year make her more suitable for marriage." Xu Qianqian said, "This indicates Zhou Haifei is smart, with a bigger hope to give birth to smarter kids."

"Oh, does it mean they won’t let her go to college in the future?" he asked.

"Hmm, actually, it mostly boils down to whether they’ll provide tuition and living expenses." Xu Qianqian frowned, "But she can apply for student loans, with four years of interest-free. It can completely cover tuition fees, and with scholarships, she might even pay it off right after graduation."

"So... after the college entrance exam, she’d still be free, it’s not a big deal."

"Getting married needs the household registration book, which is still with her parents." Jiang Nian reminded, the two chatted as they strolled out of the school gate.

"With things like that, still considering marriage?" she said earnestly, "If I were her, I’d first go to university, work outside, and consider other things after stabilizing."

"Not to mention, whether marriage registration will need the household registration book in the future is still uncertain."

Hearing this, Jiang Nian uttered an "oh" and continued along her words asking.

"Where does your dad usually hide the household registration book?"

"He hides it in..." Xu Qianqian started and then suddenly came back to her senses, staring at him for a few seconds, "Why are you asking this? Does it concern you?"

Jiang Nian said, "Hard to say."

"You!"

The two continued bantering as they reached the night snack stall, soon forgetting about Zhou Haifei’s affair.

After finishing the night snack, they quickly headed home.

It’s not that they’re cold; it’s just that there’re too many things like this in Zhen Nan. To be frank, that’s just how it is when a place is poor, such customs aren’t formed overnight.

Upon returning home, Jiang Nian turned on his phone and played a game.

After gaining a star, he slowly went to take a shower. Coming out from the bathroom after blow-drying his hair, he had returned to his usual state, ready to swipe through his phone peacefully.

Opening TikTok, he saw a group of toy excavators digging nonsense.

Ignoring the sandpit, surrounding a female live streamer in a black miniskirt stretching the excavating arm. Even when constantly moved aside, it still persistently returned to dig nonsense.

Damn it, lost sight of the original aspiration.

Throwing tips could allow line-jumping; Jiang Nian had to admit he was a bit tempted. With both an excavator and a black miniskirt, there must be someone high-level behind it advising.

He glanced at the queue number taking a long wait, losing the interest to spend money.

Suddenly, the phone buzzed.

A message from Lin Dong appeared, with only three words.

"Are you free?"

Seeing that it wasn’t particularly late and he wasn’t very tired, Jiang Nian replied straightforwardly.

"Not free."

What a joke, if Lin Dong looked for him, it had to be for something good.

Then he’d start with "Damn! Brother Nian! Let me tell you something awesome!", "Huge happy news!", "Good news, good news!"

Certainly not "Are you free?"

Sending that, it was either troublesome things or just idle nonsense.

Lin Dong evidently didn’t expect him to refuse so bluntly, and after a while, he sent over a voice message. Opening it, the sound was a bit chaotic, seemingly in the middle of a debate.

Listening for a while, Jiang Nian finally understood what was happening.

The people in Lin Dong’s dorm were debating the topic of farming during the apocalypse, later becoming a debate over whether it’s better to spawn in a city or countryside if zombies outbreak.

They were at a standstill, wanting to find someone as a judge.

Ding ding ding!!

Jiang Nian joined Lin Dong’s dorm chat through the voice message but didn’t serve as a judge. He was also interested in this topic; zombie outbreaks were right up his alley.

Wu Jungu said, "Starting in the city has a higher drop rate, you can explore the neighbor’s survival supplies."

Upon hearing this, the dorm burst into laughter.

"The Chinese friendly neighbor, dreaming about the neighbor’s rations."

"A desperately hungry neighbor wife is forced to come out and trade rations with you, huh?"

"Can’t lie, that’s the episode I’m most eager to see."

After the commotion, Zeng You offered a counter-opinion.

"Obviously, starting in the countryside is more stable, finding supplies in the city is not that simple. Every house has security bars, densely populated and full of zombies."

"Generally speaking, every household in the countryside has a toolbox. Not to mention, making weapons and armor is a piece of cake, and breaking into neighbor’s houses is a cinch."

Lin Dong provided a different view, shouting loudly.

"I don’t agree, the countryside has inconvenient transport, and collecting supplies is pretty troublesome. One person’s power is small, and besides, we can’t let our younger brother suffer."

Hearing this, Jiang Nian couldn’t help chiming in.

"I see you guys are talking more yellow the more you chat. But thinking back, what’s the deal with zombies? Can rubber isolate the virus?"

With the Human Emperor’s words, the dorm became instantly quiet.

"Damn, it’s the first time seeing a living Ling Mo!"

"No, Jiang Nian, you’re also a steadfast user of cling film?"

"What cling film, that’s called a barrier artifact!"

Zeng You had to give it to him, is this even a perspective a human could think of? Aren’t you unrestrained, even disregarding humanity!

In the midst of the rowdiness, the night talk ended.

The gradually quieting dorm, Wu Jungu turned over and slept after coughing once. Lin Dong got out of bed to use the restroom, and afterward, only the white noise from outside the window remained in the dorm.

Click, Zeng You unlocked his phone.

He opened up a novel, adjusted the brightness to the lowest, the faint light fell around his bridge of the nose. His agitated heart gradually calmed down, returning to a state of peace.

Dawn broke.

The next day.

Today was still the weekly test.

The morning self-study class began as usual, amidst the sound of class recitation, Li Hua suddenly exclaimed.

"Wait, isn’t it Wednesday today!"

"What happened?"

"The PE class got canceled, damn it!" Li Hua was dumbfounded, holding his English vocabulary book like he couldn’t accept it, "Will it be rescheduled?"

Jiang Nian gave him a glance at this.

"You blockhead, take a guess."

Li Hua let out a burst of groaning noises, instantly wilting entirely.
