Chapter 20

“Is there anyone in this world who doesn’t like to eat candy?” Sikong Ling asked in disbelief.

Chen Xi choked.

Yes, there is no one in this world who doesn’t like to eat candy.

But it’s really rare for a boy to like eating candy and be brave enough to express it!

This is completely different from the image of the mighty leader in my memory!

This handsome guy is so cute in contrast. I really don’t know which woman he was lucky enough to be with in his previous life.

“Haha, that’s right.” Chen Xi laughed twice.

Seeing that Chen Xi seemed to be hesitant to talk to him, Sikong Ling instinctively thought that she was a shy and introverted person, so he didn’t make things difficult for her.

He lowered his head and continued to read the book he brought with him.

“Hello, comrade. We are all educated youth sent to the countryside in Heilongjiang Province. Maybe we will be in the same brigade in the future. May I ask your name?” Lin Lili naturally noticed Sikong Ling.

It’s really hard for a girl not to be moved by Sikong Ling’s appearance. No matter which era the girls are from, they all seem to be obsessed with looks.

Lin Lili’s question was not as abrupt as the previous girl’s, so Sikong Ling did not show any rejection.

“Sikong Ling, I also went to the countryside in Heilongjiang Province. I’m from Shanghai.” Sikong Ling briefly answered the other party’s question.

“Is it Sikong? What a special surname!” Lin Lili focused her attention on Sikong Ling’s surname.

He exclaimed with some surprise.

Sikong Ling didn’t react much, just looked at Lin Lili quietly.

Lin Lili clearly sensed something from the other person’s eyes, and she quickly shut up.

It would be rude to open your mouth again.

The other party clearly looked like he didn’t want to negotiate too much with others.

I just don’t know why the other party looks at this little dwarf Chen Xi differently.

Compared to being cold towards girls, Sikong Ling does not seem to be cold towards the dwarf Chen Xi.

Chen Xi was indeed the shortest among them. Due to long-term malnutrition, Chen Xi was only about 1.5 meters tall at the age of 17.

The average height of these boys was around 1.5 meters, with Sikong Ling reaching an astonishing 1.9 meters. Lin Lili was also 1.68 meters tall.

From this perspective, Chen Xi is really too short.

“Chen Xi, don’t you have dwarfism? It’s really worrying for a boy to be as tall as you!” Thinking of the previous dispute with Chen Xi, Xu Shaohua spoke sarcastically.

Chen Xi felt so choked up that he almost fainted.

damn it!

This bastard knows how to poke himself in the wrong places.

Height has always been a lifelong pain for Chen Xi. Due to malnutrition when she was a child, she could not grow tall at all. Until she stopped growing, her height was only about 1.6 meters.

As he got older, his bones shrank back and his height shrank back to about 1.5 meters.

In the future world where the average height is over 1.65 meters, her height would indeed make people think she is a child.

Especially when you go to the north, the food there is not something a child can describe, it is just solid southern potatoes.

Chen Xi looked at Xu Shaohua with a puzzled look, “Did I eat your rice?”

With just one question, everyone present was a little confused.

“No!” Xu Shaohua answered in confusion.

“Why do you care how tall I am? My height has nothing to do with you!” Chen Xi said bluntly.

Xu Shaohua choked and realized that his words were a bit offensive.

Chen Xi is a man who is so short and he must have low self-esteem. It is really inappropriate for me to laugh at him.

[Host, if you insist on drinking spiritual spring water every day, you will grow taller~] Chen Xi was still feeling depressed when he heard the voice of 007 in his ears.

This one sentence made Chen Xi’s mood soar into the sky like a rocket.

[How tall can it grow?] Chen Xi asked with sparkling eyes.

[I don’t know about this! It varies from person to person.] The system can’t give an exact number.

When Chen Xi heard that he could grow taller, that was enough for him.

That’s enough.

Her mood suddenly improved.

These people don’t know that Chen Xi’s mood is like a roller coaster, sometimes good and sometimes bad.

Everyone is silent.

Sikong Ling wanted to say something, but then he thought of something and swallowed his words back.

Chen Xi thought about the system’s words, and then realized that he hadn’t drunk the spiritual spring water yet. Suddenly, he remembered how dirty and smelly he was when he slept last night. He suddenly became wary. [007, I’m not going to drink the spiritual spring water today, am I? I’m on the train now!]

Chen Xi was worried that it would be the same as last night in the RV.

“No, host. Last night, the spiritual spring water helped you eliminate all impurities from your body. You will be fine if you continue to drink it today. Even if impurities are produced by consuming mortal food in the future, they will be automatically excreted through your sweat. The same situation as last night will not happen again.”

Since the system said so, Chen Xi had no reason to hesitate.

He pulled out his bag from under the seat, fumbled around in it, took out a military water bottle, took out his drink and started drinking.

The military kettle is filled with spiritual spring water.

There was no military water bottle in Chen Xi’s original space, so he bought it from the space mall.

After the space mall was upgraded to the second level, not only did printers, which were not available in this era, appear, but also daily necessities that were suitable for this world.

Chen Xi immediately asked the system to help him fill a pot of spiritual spring water, about 500 ml, and left 500 ml to drink in the evening.

After drinking a thousand milliliters of water all at once, she was worried that she would have to go to the toilet all the time.

When everyone saw Chen Xi take out the military water bottle, they all looked at her curiously.

“Chen Xi, where did you get this kettle? Is there anyone in your family who is a soldier?” People of this era have a filter for soldiers.

Since Chen Xi could produce such a kettle, everyone agreed that there must be a soldier in his family.

“Yes, my grandfather is a soldier. He gave me this kettle.” Chen Xi lied, but only told half the lie.

This kettle was bought from the space mall, but her grandfather was indeed a soldier.

It was also because of this identity that he was feared by his scumbag father, and then framed by him and sent to the countryside for reform.

That is the “stinky ninth” that everyone in this era despises.

In her previous life, Chen Xi had inquired and found out that her grandfather was sent to a brigade in Heilongjiang Province for reform. Although she didn’t know which brigade it was, she hoped to go to Heilongjiang Province first and then inquire.

After asking around, I’ll find a way to find my grandfather.

From her past life, she knew which brigade in Heilongjiang Province her grandfather was sent to, but she didn’t know where in Heilongjiang Province she was sent to the countryside!
