Age of Dreams

"Oh……"

In the endless darkness, Xiao Qi suddenly sat up.

He was covered in sweat, and the weightlessness of his body still did not disappear, and it took him a while to wake up from the shock.

When Xiao Qi woke up, the focus of his eyes slowly focused on the front.

A typical double-opening glass door bookcase in the 1990s, with books of various sizes in it, and a large open door on the left side, and the yellow wooden door looks very old, like It was the same door in my own house more than ten years ago.

Xiao Qi subconsciously looked at the wall leaning against his bed again, and a vigorous calligraphy of "The mountain of books has a road and diligence as a path, learning the sea is boundless and working hard" just hangs on the wall.

There are also bookcases beside the bed, and the balcony outside the small door... They are all decorations at home in the far Yin city!

Strange, wasn't my house demolished in 2012, that is, last year, and finally a high-rise building was built?

Is it because I miss my parents so much recently that these things appear in my dreams?

While sighing, a woman suddenly walked into the room and said quickly, "Xiaoqi, I'm getting up soon, I'm still waiting for you to have dinner. How is it, is your cold better?"

"Oh, Mom!" Xiao Qi was a little amused when he saw this woman, "I just thought of calling you, and you appeared in my dream. How is it, it's been okay recently... Oh, hell, what are you doing? So much younger? Did you have plastic surgery?"

"fart!"

The woman in her 40s immediately frowned, and hurriedly went around to touch Xiao Qi's forehead, "I don't have a fever, so why are you talking nonsense? My dear, aren't you sleepy?"

Xiao Qi was also stunned.

The temperature of this real hand does not seem to be felt in a dream at all.

And my mother's face, which is so clear right in front of my eyes, never heard of a person's face that can be seen so completely in a dream?

Xiao Qi suddenly shivered.

Because he remembered that when he was going to the Grand Canyon National Park with his colleagues, he saw a little girl who almost fell off a cliff. past.

Even if he wakes up, he should be in the hospital at this time! ?

How can I see nothing in the hospital, but see the young version of my mother instead?

The next moment, Xiao Qi stretched out his hand tremblingly.

This pair of immature hands, which are obviously much smaller, is completely different from the rough hands that I have done physical experiments for three or four years! !

Xiao Qi jumped off the bed and opened the closet door. The full-length mirror inside clearly showed the face of a handsome seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, and the face of a sloppy twenty-six-year-old Dr. Otaku. ?

"Mom, hit me!" Xiao Qi turned his head blankly and said to the inexplicable mother.

Chen Yulian's son was a little anxious. Seeing her son seemed to be possessed, she panicked. She reached out and slapped her son on the head, "Good son, wake up!"

"Ouch!"

Xiao Qi, who was beaten so hard that his head was golden, grimaced in pain.

But in this huge pain, his appearance has not changed, his mother has not disappeared, and he has not grown old, and the furnishings in the house have not disappeared!

That proves one thing.

You are not dreaming!

Since it's not a dream, then...

Should I go back to the past? !

Oh my god!

What the heck...what the hell is going on! ?

Xiao Qi is an engineering student, and he is used to doing experiments in physics, which makes him not believe in reincarnation or time-travel.

But the fact is that he has indeed returned to his high school days, his hometown in Yuanyin City.

"Isn't this kid so sick and confused? Do you want to see a doctor tomorrow?"

Chen Yulian, who was sitting at the dinner table, looked at her son who was giggling while eating, and was quite worried.

The son is fine in everything, but he is a little timid and has no opinion. Now he is facing the college entrance examination and is under a lot of pressure. It is really a hateful thing.

Xiao Qi's mother's name is Chen Yulian, the same name as a female movie star in Hong Kong. According to her age before retirement, she still works as a logistics cashier at the headquarters of China Construction and Development Bank in Yuanyin City.

"Son, it's important to go to school, but your mentality is more important, don't make yourself uncomfortable for the college entrance examination, you know?" After thinking about it again and again, Chen Yulian told Xiao Qi this way.

"Oh, I see, Mom." Xiao Qi replied smoothly without taking it to heart.

Because he knew that during the winter vacation half a year later, a friend of my father sent his children to study in the United States, and by the way, he persuaded his father and mother to send himself to the United States, thus starting his seven-year study in the United States. Life.

Thinking about myself, I struggled with all kinds of questions for half a year, but finally I suddenly crossed the single-plank bridge of the college entrance examination. I still remember that excitement and disappointment to this day.

Xiao Qi is a person with high IQ, and he almost completed his Ph.D. in the United States in seven years.

The doctoral colleges in the United States are notoriously ghost gates. It is easy to get in and hard to get out.

There is a buddy, Xiao Qi was a doctoral student when he first went to college, but when Xiao Qi passed the doctoral graduation exam, this man was still hanging around the old mentor.

Just before his rebirth, Xiao Qi just completed a project and won an award in the selection of the most authoritative German machinery and industry magazine.

When Xiao Qi's mentor, the old man, was happy, he let him graduate with a swipe of a pen, and gave him a generous contract as a teacher and research assistant.

Several colleagues happily celebrated Xiao Qi, dragged him, who has never been out of school, and drove to the Grand Canyon National Park in the northeast for a tour, but did not want to encounter an accident and returned to the present.

Now Xiao Qi is wearing a thin shirt and shorts, and the tail of summer has not yet passed.

Looking at the window next to the dining table, it was already dark. Xiao Qi heard from his mother that he felt a little runny nose at noon, and he slept until dark after taking the medicine.

At this time, the father should now be in the position of the office director of the Political and Legal Committee. He is only an official at the deputy section level, but there are many things.

Because the law and order in Yuanyin City has been very bad in recent years, and various disputes have arisen one after another, so when Dad was busy, he simply ate in the cafeteria of the Public Security Bureau, and only came back to sleep when he was done working at night.

This kind of complex and dark environment will gradually change after two years, when the underworld forces fight each other and the casualties are almost there.

Speaking of my father Xiao Xu, colleagues and friends praised him as a capable person. Not only is he very reliable in his work, he is good at writing and writing, and he is very gentle and unassuming.

However, Xiao Xu's son-in-law was too gentle, which caused him to never go to the camp, and he always went with the flow. According to the normal situation, when he retired, he would only get rid of the treatment at the deputy director level.

Xiao Qi thinks about the time. Now that he is in the third year of high school, his father is already forty-four years old, but he is still only an associate class, not even a full class.

After advocating the rejuvenation of reform cadres, under normal circumstances, there are two most famous hurdles in the officialdom of China.

The first hurdle is the hurdle of the division level and the division level. Generally, if you are not promoted to the deputy division level or above before the age of 40, then you are sorry. You will be a junior officer at the main division level in your life, and you cannot be promoted again. Can't really enter the gate of officialdom.

The second hurdle is the department-level and provincial-level hurdles. This is not just a matter of age. In addition to being too old, the most important thing is to need opportunities and abilities. If there is one less, you don’t even want to step out of the department. level, and entered the ranks of real provincial and ministerial-level officials.

Of course, there are also many special promotions, but it depends on the opportunity, and a big leap cannot be achieved without a big opportunity.

But in fact, in retrospect from 2013, from the perspective of looking down on this era, from 2005 to 2012, it was still a magnificent era, with its colorful and changing colors, which is definitely not inferior. In any splendid era of reform and opening up.

Thinking of my mother's occasional sigh, saying that with my father's ability, at least I have to sit in the position of a county party secretary at the division level. Inexplicably, Xiao Qi has a bold idea in his heart: Can I? Taking advantage of some good opportunities to push Dad to a higher position, so that he has more space to develop his talents?

Thinking about this, Xiao Qi was even more excited.

What could be more exciting and joyful than changing your own and your family's life for the better?
