Reborn I want everything

Chapter 2 Life is an Infinite Game

As the bell rang again, everyone had to put down their pens and wait quietly for the invigilator to collect the papers.

After a short period of silence, the examinees finally broke out into suppressed shouts, beating their chests and feet, and even threw their schoolbags down the corridor.

Gu Zhe could not help shaking his head secretly.

There are many ways to vent stress.But people who have suppressed to this level, even if they pass the exam, they probably have hatred for studying.How much effort can be made in college is obviously questionable.

Life is an infinite game, if you don't die, it doesn't count as the end, you have to keep playing.That kind of limited game thinking of "stop being a human after a certain threshold" is unacceptable.

However, Gu Zhe didn't have time to meddle in other people's business. Because of the tight schedule for the exam, he didn't even wash his face or go to the toilet after taking a nap.It's better to find a quiet place first, look in the mirror to clean up the image, and re-acquaint yourself with the body when you were a teenager.

……

In order not to be disturbed by others, Gu Zhe deliberately went to the teacher's office building next door, and found a clean and secluded bathroom to solve the problem, while quickly thinking about his life plan.

What to do after rebirth?Now it is 02, and the financial speculation that other reborns are most keen on, I just can't do it - the A-shares will have four years of bearishness, the Internet is in a cold winter, and the subprime mortgage crisis will be five years away.

The world's major financial markets happen to be in a trough.

That's fine, since you've stopped thinking about it, you can use your expertise in a down-to-earth manner.

When he was engaged in patent legal affairs in his previous life, he mainly dabbled in new materials and new processes in the field of "additive processing".To put it bluntly, it means "powder metallurgy, 3D printing, additive optics, chemical deposition processing of graphene-like substances".

Engaging in legal affairs does not need to be as specialized and in-depth as front-line scientific research personnel, but to observe the general situation, so it is normal to understand a wider range.

As for the great scientists who will have a future in the future, he also knows in his heart.With these advantages, it should be no problem to be a leader who promotes the combination of industry, education and research, and a Bole who helps the transformation of scientific research results to the market.

Looking at it this way, his previous career was simply tailor-made for rebirth.

After correcting his attitude towards life and gaining a sunny mood, Gu Zhe shook a few times, and walked to the sink to clean up his image thoroughly.

Seeing the loose spirit in the mirror, he was also a little brooding.

When I was a teenager, I was obsessed with studying, hated sports, and was slovenly, wasting my good foundation.

Later, when I was middle-aged and was tortured by the three highs and various white-collar occupational diseases, I really stimulated the self-drive to exercise.

Gu Zhe combed his hair with his hands wet, and secretly warned himself:
"The body is the capital. You can memorize such a simple truth in elementary school, but you don't really believe it until you are in your thirties. This time, you have to exercise scientifically from the age of 17."

He also decided to shorten the haircut cycle to two months to prevent the hair from being easily crushed into a chicken coop.

……

After finishing all this, Gu Zhe strolled back to the examination room to get his schoolbag refreshed and ready to go home.

But at the corner of the corridor, he was stopped by an impressively thin girl.

Gu Zhe immediately recalled that this was Lin Jingjing from the same class, the representative of the English class, and Lu Youyou's best friend.

Lin Jingjing had obviously been waiting for a while, a little impatient:

"Where have you been? Didn't Mr. Wang say in the morning that you should not leave after the exam and that you need to be notified! Remember to go back to school at eight o'clock tomorrow morning to evaluate the score. Really, you are the only one who didn't notify!"

Gu Zhe was taken aback, probably the teacher explained it, but he was reborn, so forget it.

In the college entrance examination in Donghai Province in 02, the exams were taken first, then the volunteers were filled in, and the scores were finally issued. Therefore, the score estimation is very important. The more accurate the better, the better it is for filling in the volunteers.

However, in order not to spoil everyone's mood when taking the exam, the teacher always warned everyone before the exam to "throw away after one exam, don't be burdened, don't correct the answers, and take the next exam carefully."

This requires a sudden change of mind after the last exam is over, and everyone is notified to answer the answer before they forget it.

After Gu Zhe realized it, he sincerely apologized: "Thank you, I'm really sorry, I forgot and delayed your return home."

After all, Gu Zhe smiled generously and said goodbye.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Lin Jingjing always felt a little weird.

"Why do you feel a little awkward? By the way, this guy usually avoids his eyes when talking to girls, and makes excuses for doing something wrong. Something is wrong today. Huh? He even combed his hair?"

It just so happened that she was still suffocating for another matter, so she couldn't help calling Gu Zhe: "Don't you have anything to explain? You're leaving now? You said that if you had a mobile phone, you wouldn't have to delay other people's special trips." I'm here to stop you."

Gu Zhe was taken aback for a moment, then shrugged his shoulders: "Isn't it the school rule that mobile phones are not allowed?"

In 02, the penetration rate of mobile phones was still very low, and almost all high school students were not allowed to carry mobile phones.Zhenyang Middle School is the No. [-] school in the city, and the management is stricter. If you have a mobile phone, you may be punished.But Gu Zhe is the beneficiary of this school rule, he couldn't afford it in the first place.

Lin Jingjing laughed angrily: "You abide by the school rules, so don't misbehave and harm others! You were almost late for the college entrance examination. To inform you, Youyou was calling on her cell phone in the corridor, and Teacher Wang saw her. What kind of motherfucker are you, Teacher Wang? It's not that I don't know."

Gu Zhe felt a little guilty now. He didn't like to owe favors, so he quickly said responsibly, "Youyou is just willing to help others. How can you blame her? I'll find an opportunity to explain to Teacher Wang."

Gu Zhe himself doesn't care, he has been reborn, and he has a thick skin.But he knew that Lu Youyou was a good girl who cared about these things, and he would definitely feel uncomfortable being criticized.

Lin Jingjing felt better now, but also a little surprised.Gu Zhe originally gave people the impression that he strictly obeyed the school rules and never dared to question the teacher.

She sighed: "Okay, you still have a conscience. Your English is so poor, Teacher Wang hates you so much, so don't make trouble."

……

After bidding farewell to Lin Jingjing, Gu Zhe took the bus home.

The examination room was in Zhenyang District in the north of the city, while his hometown was in the southern suburbs of Yincheng District and Fengxian County. It was a total of [-] kilometers, and the road conditions were not good. It took a full two hours.

It made him a little uncomfortable, who has long been accustomed to the level of infrastructure in the 2020s.

Sitting in the car, Gu Zhe was thinking about seeing his parents who were not old yet again, and his mood was complicated and excited.Those things at school were temporarily forgotten by him.

As a post-80s generation, Gu Zhe is of course an only child, and there are only three people in his family.

His father was a local fisherman, and his mother came from Wuzhou, a neighboring city. At first, he also fished. Later, he felt that the fishmongers had made a lot of money, so he opened a seafood barbecue stall.

Although Gu Zhe had achieved a small success in his career before his rebirth, his father was gone and his mother was not doing well.Now that I am back, of course I want to change all this.

It was already [-]:[-] pm when I got off the bus. On the roads in the suburbs, in order to save electricity, the street lights are only half turned on in summer, and it looks very desolate.Gu Zhe groped for a while before finding his hometown.

It was a bungalow in a seaside fishing village, the exterior walls were somewhat corroded by salt, and two boats of the family were tied to the berths of the trestle bridge next to it.

In a few years, this area will be demolished, and the fishing port will be converted into a Binhai Economic Development Zone, a bonded processing zone.

Gu Zhe walked to the door anxiously, knocked lightly twice, but no one opened.

The noise in the house covered up the knock on the door, and it was also mixed with the mother's crying:
"Tell you that fishing has no future! You have neither the guts to set an extinct net, nor dare to go to sea during the fishing season! Why do you buy a new boat? You can still afford a mortgage with this harvest? You can't live through this day!"

Hearing this, Gu Zhe couldn't help sighing through the door.

So far, everything in the family is still developing according to the original track.

Of course, Gu Zhe knew about the difficulties in his previous life.

The cause of everything was a wrong decision made by his father Gu Haifeng the year before last, and he bought a new fishing boat with a loan.

As we all know, the domestic marine ecology has long been severely deteriorated due to overfishing. At the end of 99, the country had to issue a document to completely prohibit the new installed power of fishing boats in the East China Sea and the South China Sea—in layman's terms, it is a license restriction.

However, according to economic laws, before the purchase restriction order takes effect, there will definitely be a wave of panic buying.

The Gu family's old boat was small and had no cold storage, so they were reluctant to change it.His father, Gu Haifeng, was an honest man. In a panic, he was finally fooled by black intermediaries and trustees, and bought a cold storage ship at a higher price.

Because of lack of money, he even mortgaged the storefront of his family - the store was bought by his mother, Chu Xiu, who worked hard for many years, fought guerrillas with the urban management, and set up a seafood barbecue stall on a tricycle.

As a result, too many people rushed to buy new boats. Since then, the competition in the local fishing industry has become more involuntary, and the harvest volume and price have both fallen.

The Gu family was frugal enough to pay off the mortgage, and finally cut off the mortgage shortly after the college entrance examination, and the mortgaged storefront was also taken away for auction, and the family has since fallen.

However, before this, the parents still knew that their son was going to take the college entrance examination, so they didn't quarrel in front of him, fearing that it would affect his studies.

It's a pity that Gu Zhe is sensitive and sensible. In his previous life, he knew about the plight of his family before the exam, but he could only pretend that he didn't know, which more or less affected his mentality of taking the exam.

……

Gu Zhe recalled those regrets, his fists clenched so hard that his knuckles turned white.

Fortunately, everything can be changed, he couldn't help but slapped the door a few times to vent his anger, as if he wanted to shatter the shackles of fate.

The voices in the room stopped abruptly, Gu Zhe also came back to his senses, and quickly shouted: "It's me, the exam is over."

After a quick tidying up of the house, Chu Xiucai came to open the door.

She was afraid that her son would see the flaw, so she preemptively asked, "How did you do in the exam?"

"Don't worry, you've got all the points you should get, and Zhejiang University should be stable." Gu Zhe knew that his parents couldn't understand the details, so he tried to reassure them in the simplest and straightforward way.

"Really?" The parents still didn't believe it, and continued to ask each subject carefully, "How about Chinese? Can you get full marks in physical chemistry? And your worst foreign language..."

How could Gu Zhe stand this kind of interrogation? After all, he had only been reborn for half a day. Except for English, which was tested on the spot, he had forgotten the other subjects.

So he quickly changed the topic: "I'm very tired! I haven't even eaten dinner yet! By the way, did you have a fight? You can't even hear the knock on the door."

He was told by his son that he had a weak heart, so he quickly explained: "No, just say a few words about him casually. It's not like you don't know how unreliable your father is! Don't talk about it, let's cook for you first."

Chu Xiu went to the kitchen to tinker for 5 minutes, and quickly took out a large plate of food that looked like oyster omelette.

Gu Zhe didn't pick anything, just picked up the chopsticks and ate.

Authentic oyster omelette should use whole oyster meat.The plate in front of Gu Zhe was made of a kind of long sea clam, the scraps left after the sucker meat was gouged out.

After the gouged out sucker meat is dried, it is "scallop/scallop", which is expensive and is sold.

The skirt meat is unpalatable and difficult to preserve. Originally, it had to be thrown away, so thrifty fishermen kept some for their own food.

In the same way, there are dried miscellaneous fish, sea clam skirts, drunk crabs with missing legs and broken shells, and drunk snails, which almost accompanied Gu Zhe throughout his childhood.

This is not because of poverty, but mainly because of reluctance to waste.In the eyes of the older generation, it is a shame to rot and dump hard-produced food, and we should try our best to produce and sell it ourselves.

As Gu Zhe ate, he was moved to tears.I was thinking about how to make things clear to my parents so that they would stop arguing about the family situation.
