Chapter 18 Homesickness and Settling Down
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Li Zhongwu got up immediately. The sound of the door lock being unscrewed came from behind. Jump down.

He fell quickly, and when he passed the window sill on the third floor, he stretched out his hands and grabbed the window sill on the third floor.

After the figure paused, he let go of his hands again, and his body continued to fall.

When he passed the window sill on the second floor, he stretched out his hands again and grabbed the window sill on the second floor.

The figure paused again, and his hands loosened again.

He continued to fall, and soon, with a soft "bang", his feet landed firmly on the ground, his knees slightly bent, then straightened up, turned around and strode away, looking around while walking, seeing There was no one around, so he looked away.

As soon as Li Zhongwu left, the door of Room 422 was pushed open, and the young waiter in a white embroidered cheongsam smiled and stretched out his hand to signal the guests to come in.

A thin young man walked into the room with a smile on his lips while pushing a suitcase.

The waiter followed with a smile.

The next moment, the expressions of the two became surprised one after another.

Looking at the messy quilt on the bed and the domestic garbage in the trash can, the young man frowned, and turned around in doubt, "Hey, don't you all clean the rooms in the Golden Age of Movie Metropolis? Your inn is so famous, and the cleanliness of the rooms is like this." ?”

The waiter had a complicated expression at this time.

Because at this moment, she has an illusion of reappearing yesterday, and she was the one who led a guest to room 422 yesterday morning.

At that time, the sanitation in this room was similar to that in front of us.

At that time, Sister Qu questioned her almost in the same way.

- I watched this episode...

This thought flashed through her mind, but she quickly forced a smile on her face, and apologized to the new guest again and again. While apologizing, the doubts in her mind did not diminish at all.

She clearly remembered that the room was cleaned carefully yesterday, and the quilt on the bed was neatly folded.

Why is it messed up again today?
Did a new guest check in yesterday afternoon?
Fortunately, today this male guest is not as angry as yesterday's Sister Qu. After her non-stop apology, although this male guest's expression is still not very good-looking, he finally calmed down a little and did not embarrass her.

She didn't dare to neglect, first she called the aunt in charge of sanitation, and told her to come over and clean up quickly.

Immediately afterwards, she called the inn manager and reported the situation here to the manager.

Soon, Shen Xiaoling's mother rushed over with a cleaning cart.

The manager also rushed here with eyes full of doubts.

Seeing the situation in the room, the manager wondered, "What's going on? Before I went upstairs, I asked the front desk. From yesterday to now, only this gentleman has been arranged as a guest to come to this room, Aunt Shen! You Are you sure you cleaned this room carefully yesterday?"

Shen's mother nodded quickly, "Sure! Manager, you warned me and fined me yesterday, how could I not clean this place properly? Besides, you sent someone to check after I finished cleaning, you forgot gone?"

manager:"……"

This is strange, this room was just cleaned yesterday, and no guests have been accommodated since then, why is it dirty again today?

……

Li Zhongwu, who left the inn, looked up at the scorching sun in the sky, only to realize that it was already noon.

I'm a little hungry too.

So, he walked along the street looking for restaurants, and it didn't take long to see two adjacent restaurants on the side of the road.

He randomly chose the store on the left and walked in. Before entering the store, he didn't forget to take out his baseball cap and sunglasses to put on himself to avoid being recognized again.

After entering the store, he ordered several dishes and asked for four bowls of rice.

When the food was served on the table, he remembered that he went out for breakfast yesterday morning, but he didn't see a noodle shop or a steamed stuffed bun shop, so he casually asked the waiter who served the food.

The shop waiter with a white towel on his shoulders heard his question, looked at him in surprise, and said in confusion: "Guest officer, aren't you from our Dayan people? I think you look the same as our Dayan people, Why would you ask such a question?"

Li Zhongwu was a little puzzled, "How to say?"

Xiao Er laughed, "Guest officer, we people in Dayan are used to eating rice! Few people eat pasta."

Li Zhongwu: "..."

It turned out to be this reason.

After getting the answer, Li Zhongwu didn't ask any more questions.

He, who grew up in the southern countryside, can still understand the eating habits.

The answer just given by the waiter made him suddenly remember that few people in his hometown used to eat pasta.

I still remember when I was a child, when I watched the Spring Festival Gala every New Year’s Eve, I heard the host of the Spring Festival Gala said that we should eat dumplings during the New Year. He was still puzzled—why do we have to eat dumplings during the New Year?
Because their family celebrates the New Year, they have never eaten dumplings.

In their village, I have never seen anyone eating dumplings during the Chinese New Year.

In his childhood impression, only elderly people in the village often ate noodles because they couldn't eat hard food. He still remembered that in several villages there, there were very few people who grew wheat.

Thinking about it now, since I went to the county to study in high school, my eating habits have been changing.

When I was in college, I was changed even more.

Because the city where I went to university, the dishes are generally quite spicy. He couldn't eat spicy food, but after several years of university, he got used to having chili in the dishes.

Li Zhongwu, who had these memories in his heart, suddenly missed many dishes in the 21st century.

Like fish with pickled cabbage, fish head with chopped pepper, twice-cooked pork, hot pot, roast duck, saliva chicken...etc.

I especially miss the braised pork cooked by my mother.

He has loved meat since he was a child.

I especially love the taste of my mother's cooking.

But since he entered the world of reincarnation, he has not eaten the dishes made by his mother for more than three years.

Thinking of his mother's cooking, he naturally thought of how his parents would spend the rest of their lives after he left the time and space of the 21st century.

He is the only son of their family. Although there is a word "Zhong" in his name, it doesn't mean that he has a big brother above him.

"Bo, Zhong, Uncle, Ji" is the ordering habit of the ancients in naming. Li Zhongwu ranked second just because his uncle had a son and ranked above him.

His uncle's son is called Li Bowen, he is Li Zhongwu, and the son of his third uncle's family is called Li Shubin.

He could imagine the grief his parents felt when he disappeared.

They will definitely lose the will to live a good life.

Thinking of this, he can only hope that his two cousins ​​can take care of his parents in their old age.

After eating the lunch in a tasteless manner, Li Zhongwu left the restaurant and walked towards Jinghu.

Along the way, looking at the high-rise buildings on the side of the road, he felt that he should buy himself a residence as soon as possible.

In the world of reincarnation, there is a high probability that he will not be able to go back, and the time and space where his parents are, he will probably not be able to go back. In this case, he has to think about his future life.

Always "relying" on the inn is not a long-term solution after all.

Buying a house for himself became his top priority to take root in this new world.

but……

If you buy a house, you must need a registered permanent residence and ID card, right?

If you live in a hotel, you need an ID card. How can you not need it to buy a house?
In this way, the real first task before him is to solve his household registration and identity issues as soon as possible.

 Share with you some experience in epidemic prevention!Some old book friends should know that I have an extremely stable personality. My epidemic prevention measures may be a bit exaggerated, but the effect is not bad. So far, one of the six members of my family has no positive.

  Therefore, as the new year is approaching, I think I should share some experience with you.

  To put it simply, the first is to minimize the frequency of going out, such as stocking up enough daily necessities for about half a month at a time.

  Second, when you go out occasionally, you can skip the elevator, never take the elevator, throw garbage when you go out, try not to get too close to the outdoor trash can, try to keep the distance from everyone, and when wearing a mask, try to be as close as possible to others. Keep a distance of 1.5 meters or even more than [-] meters. People in front of you must avoid them. If you cannot avoid them, you will not pass by yourself.

  Third, if you go to crowded places such as vegetable markets and shops, try to avoid the morning and evening peak hours, and choose noon when there are few people.

  Fourth, when you are out of the house, talk less to others, and stay away from people who are not loud enough to speak, or who are in low spirits. In addition, after going out, try not to enter the store to eat, and do not touch your mouth and nose with your hands. Remember to wash your hands when you get home.

  Well, in short, as a principle, try not to go out as much as possible, even if you are in a busy city, try to keep no one within two meters of you.

  With these thoughts in mind, I wish you all a happy Chinese New Year and good health for the whole family.
