Men and women eating in the courtyard

Li Xuewu frowned and stared at the ceiling blankly.

From time to time, there will be the sound of charging horns, shouts and the sound of artillery shells.

He tilted his head and glanced at the calendar on the wall.

Friday, November 15, 1965.

If I remember correctly, another page should be torn out.

That is Saturday, November 16, 1965.

Still not used to the days without cell phones to remind me of date and time, I felt lonely on the pillow with my right hand.

Although it has just entered November, it has already snowed twice in Beijing and it is very cold.

I heard an old man say that this era is colder than later generations.

Listening to the cold wind blowing and the "whimpering" sound coming from the cracks in the window, Li Xuewu cherished the little warmth in the quilt.

It's not that he doesn't want to get up, it's just that... he was kidnapped by the quilt.

Li Xuewu looked at the still dark sky outside the window and couldn't tell what time it was.

I don’t know how long I slept since I got off the train, but the kang is still shaking like a train.

I know that I am used to the rhythm of the train and it will take a day or two to get used to it.

It's no longer as confusing as when I just traveled through time. The memory is like raindrops on the eaves, bit by bit in my mind, slowly recalling the past of this body.

It has been more than two months since I came to this world through time travel. This is the first morning after I changed my job and returned home. I spent most of the two months in the hospital bed.

The original owner of this body is also named Li Xuewu. He is 19 years old. He joined the army in 1962 and served somewhere in the southwest.

He himself knew that the original Li Xuewu was gone at that time.

Only a scar was left on his face.

I came from time travel and worked alone in a state-owned enterprise in middle age. I am a mediocre old bastard who can play everything but is not good at it.

Fortunately, the memory part of this body carries the fusion, and some of it was told to him by his comrades.

Li Xuewu realized that he seemed to have arrived in that pure and fiery era.

Considering that his physical condition was not suitable for further service, the army sought Li Xuewu's opinion and arranged a small award ceremony and demobilization ceremony.

Li Xuewu changed his job and returned home. Carrying his luggage and his hometown information, he found his home in the capital.

Because it was already night when we got home, we didn’t talk much. We ate some rice porridge and then lay down to sleep.

He originally lived in a large courtyard near Nanluogu Lane in Beijing. His family had three brick houses, totaling more than 60 square meters, and housed a family of nine.

Li Xuewu glanced at the room. It was originally a wing room in the courtyard, divided into three rooms. The one in the north had two kangs in the east and west.

On the east side, Li's father, Li's mother, and younger sister lived. On the west kang, Li Xuewu's grandma, his third brother, and Li's mother's father, Liu's grandfather, lived. Li Xuewu suddenly came home and squeezed his grandma into the east kang.

The middle room is used for living room, dining room and kitchen. The south room was originally the room of Li Xuewen and Li Xuewu, but now the eldest brother Li Xuewen and his sister-in-law live there.

Last night, Mother Li was very nagging when she saw her second son coming home unexpectedly.

Li Xuewu's father, Li Shun, said with a cold face: "It's useless, take a rest early and arrange work tomorrow."

Li Xuewu also has a general understanding of his current family.

His father, Li Shun, is 40 years old and is a doctor at the Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. He entered the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital in 1954 when he was offering medicine and prescriptions. He supports his family with a salary of 79.5 for the fourth grade and 12th grade.

Li's mother, Liu Yin, has no job and stays at home doing housework and serving the elderly.

I learned from Mother Li that a lot of things happened this year. Mother Li also nagged her about why her second son didn’t tell the family when something happened in the army.

In the middle of this year, Li Xuewen, the eldest brother of the Li family, graduated from university and stayed at the school to teach as a physics teacher. He has already started to receive salary. At the same time, he married his classmate Zhao Yafang. Zhao Yafang also stayed at the school to teach as a mathematics teacher this year.

Speaking of her eldest brother Xuewen and his wife, Li's mother's pride and joy were beyond words.

Father Li also raised his head slightly.

The third younger brother, Li Xuecai, was also very successful this year and was admitted to the medical university. This made Li's father very proud. The stubborn father Li showed a happy expression for the first time.

Gein has three sons. The eldest is obsessed with learning and has no interest in medical skills. The second is causing trouble and hurting countless people. He can no longer save people.

Although the third child was also naughty, he managed to live up to his expectations and was admitted to medical school. He was regarded as a successor to the family's medical lineage.

My younger sister, Li Xue, is in the second grade of high school this year and is also the top student in the class. She excels in studies and her mother is very proud.

No wonder Li's mother was proud. No one could afford to support four students these days. The tuition fees from elementary school to high school would crush Li Shun to death.

Four children, two of whom are already college graduates, and one who is about to be a college student.

Even the most unlucky middle child graduated from high school.

What's more, the eldest daughter-in-law who entered the family this year is also a college student. The couple are now college teachers. When people see her, they always praise Mrs. Li's ability.

It greatly restored Li Xuewu's ruined family reputation.

In July this year, I heard from my hometown that my mother had passed away. Mother Li took her family home for the funeral. She could only shed tears when she saw her old father alone.

Li Shun has neglected family affairs since he got married, and he blamed Liu Yin.

She gave birth to four children, served her old mother, and managed the house in an orderly manner.

Li Shun didn't know where his salary was spent and whether there was a surplus, but even if it was not enough, his wife never complained.

My father-in-law is going to be taken to his home in the city.

When Liu's father saw Li Shun speaking, he said he would not go. There was no way he could go to his son-in-law's home to take care of his old age. It would be too embarrassing for his daughter.

It wasn't until they saw Li Shun's resolute attitude that Xue Wen and Xue Cai walked out of the house, that they finally agreed to follow their daughter and son-in-law to the city.

Liu's father is a carpenter in the village. During this move, Li Shun took a large cart of carpenter tools home.

Father Liu planned in his heart that as long as he could move his legs, he would not burden his daughter and son-in-law.

The Li family lived in a wing in the front yard of the courtyard.

Li Xuewu needs to change jobs and retire due to special circumstances due to injury. He is also a combat hero. He is trusted by the army and should be properly accommodated. The street coordination and armed forces department plans to arrange for him to work in a factory.

Li Xuewu raised his hand and touched the scar on his face, and looked at the room he was in again in the dim light.

The roof is covered with yellowed old newspapers, the walls are speckled with gray stains, and the glass in the windows is also small and gray.

Between the two beds is a row of cabinets. On the cabinet are a small clock, a mirror, and several bottles and jars.

It shouldn't be Chinese medicine. Father Li's medicinal materials and books are all in the south room.

The south room only has a kang on the east side, and a few cabinets and a desk against the wall on the west side.

The middle room close to the south room has a stove, so the kang in Xuewen's house is used for heating when cooking. The two kangs in the north house are both heated by door stoves.

There is an Eight Immortals table in the middle of the main room, a row of cabinets against the wall, and a sewing machine in the corner.

Li Xuewu really couldn't sleep, and his third brother Xuecai was wrapped in quilt and snoring.

Liu's father, Li Xuewu, is called grandpa, and everyone in the family calls him grandma.

The eldest grandma felt sleepy and must have woken up by now. She coughed twice and got up to get dressed.

Li Xuewu looked at the increasingly bright windows, and finally overcame the constraints of the quilt. He got up, put on his cotton-padded clothes, and got off the kang with his eldest grandma.

After graduating from elementary school, it is inevitable that there will be typos. The comment area reminds me that I will not necessarily correct them.
