Parallel World, Da Qian Country.
It was winter.
It was snowing heavily outside.
The six members of the Chen family were huddled in front of the stove to keep warm.
"Ming, Ming, are you asleep?" Xu Xiufen nudged her son, who was dozing off with his head lowered.
Chen Ming slowly raised his head, opened his sleepy eyes, and scanned his surroundings.
The stove in front of him was burning fiercely, and the red firewood made crackling sounds.
Around the stove, a middle-aged couple and three young children in old cotton-padded jackets were looking at him.
"Where is this place?" Chen Ming was confused.
The scene in front of him was very unfamiliar, but there was a kind of familiar feeling.
"This child is muddle-headed from sleeping!" Chen Dalin said with a smile when he saw his son's dazed expression.
Looking at Chen Dalin's face, Chen Ming opened his eyes slightly and said in a trembling voice,""Dad!"
"Am I dreaming?" Chen Ming pinched his thigh. The pain was very real.
A strange thought flashed through his mind.
He suddenly turned his head to look at the torn page calendar on the wall. The latest page clearly printed December 24, 1977.
"I've actually been reborn to forty years ago!”Chen Ming's face was filled with disbelief.
After the memories in his mind were completely merged, he felt relieved.
This world wasn't the world he had been in in his previous life. It was a parallel world with significant differences in history and culture. The body he had transmigrated to was a young man with the same name and life experience as him.
Seeing her son's shocked expression, Xu Xiufen stuffed a roasted sweet potato into his hand and smiled gently."Ming, did you have a nightmare? Eat this sweet potato while it's still hot. If you're still sleepy, go back to your room and sleep.”
Feeling the hot temperature of the sweet potato in his hand, Chen Ming nodded stiffly.
He tore open the shell of the sweet potato, revealing the orange-red melon inside. As he ate silently, he digested the fact that he had been reborn in his mind and sorted out the current situation.
In 1977, the country had just resumed the college entrance examination. He was one of the 5.6 million examinees in the country and was very lucky to be admitted to the National University of Defense Technology.
To be precise, the National Defense Science and Technology University had not changed its name yet. It still used its old name--Chang.| Sha Institute of Technology.
It would only be officially changed to the National University of Defense Technology next year.
The college entrance examination had just resumed, and the examination time was in October. The results and notices were sent to the students around November or December.
Each school had a different enrollment time, some early and some late.
The National University of Science and Technology started a little earlier in January, and he had to take the train to Chang 'an in advance.| Sha.
According to the memories that were gradually becoming clearer in his mind, the day when the notice would arrive home should be today.
After accepting the fact that he had been reborn, Chen Ming's mind became more active.
In his previous life, he wasn't considered outstanding in the military academy. He was mediocre and unremarkable, but he had unexpectedly gained the favor of the principal's daughter, Caixue.
When he graduated, he could have used Caixue's help to stay in school or be assigned to a government unit in the city.
But at that time, he was thin-skinned and had strong self-esteem. He was afraid that others would gossip behind his back, so he stubbornly chose to join the Gobi border defense force and stayed there for more than ten years.
In the past ten years, not only did he cut off contact with Caixue, but he also rarely went home. Even if he sent all his monthly allowance home, it could not alleviate the poor family situation.
It was not until he was middle-aged that he was transferred back from the border defense force. Through his transfer, he took up a sinecure in the police station.
After he came back, everything was the same but the people had changed.
His parents had contracted a serious illness because of their years of hard work. They passed away one after another before he could accompany them for a few years.
His younger brother and sister had gone out to work early and did not live well.
He was the first university student in his family and the first university student in the entire village. Everyone was proud of him, but he had never helped his family at all.
Although his parents and siblings never blamed him, he blamed himself for it.
After his parents passed away, he often regretted it from the bottom of his heart.
This matter also became a great regret in his heart.
Other than this matter, his first love, Caixue, was also a regret in his heart.
When he first arrived at the Gobi border troops, he still had letters with Caixue. However, as time passed, the letters between them became less and less, and in the end, they completely stopped.
After that, he was transferred back from the border guards, but he never saw the other party again.
Chen Ming clenched his fists as he recalled the past.
Since he was reborn, he had to make up for these regrets no matter what.
Ding! Detected that the host has a strong obsession. Life Achievement System activated!
Newbie Gift Pack has been issued. Do you want to open it?
At this moment, a crisp electronic voice rang in his mind.
"System?" Chen Ming was slightly stunned.
In his previous life, he had read some web novels, so he naturally knew what a system was.
A hint of joy flashed across his eyes as he muttered in his heart,"Open it!"
Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 50 catties of food stamps x100, 10 inches of cloth stamps x100, 10 catties of fuel stamps x10, 10 catties of meat stamps x100, 10 yuan bills x100!
In his mind, the system's voice sounded again.
Chen Ming could clearly feel the large pockets on both sides of his cotton-padded jacket bulging. He lowered his head and opened the pockets slightly, only to see a thick stack of food stamps inside.
In this era, food stamps and cloth stamps were still hard currency.
With these food stamps, they could solve the poverty of their family in a short period of time.
There were a total of six people in his family. Other than him and his parents, there was also a younger brother and two younger sisters.
Before the implementation of family planning, the population of their family was not considered large in the entire village. A family that was relatively fertile could have seven or eight children.
However, even though they only had three children, it was still difficult to support them by relying on their parents to earn work points in the production team.
Usually, they would eat sweet potatoes, glutinous rice paste, and wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger.
Occasionally, he could eat steamed buns with white flour, and it was rare for him to eat meat every few months.
This also caused him and his three younger brothers and sisters to be malnourished since childhood, and their faces were yellow and thin.
Even though he had the food and meat tickets rewarded by the system, he could not give them to his parents directly.
His parents were more upright people. They would not take things of unknown origin, nor did they dare to take them. They had to find a reasonable excuse to make them accept it.
He had already thought of this excuse.
Dong dong dong!
At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.
When Chen Ming heard the knock on the door, he stood up and opened the door.
The door opened and a cold wind blew in.
A middle-aged man in a tattered cotton-padded jacket walked into the house with a smile. His body was covered in snow.
"Uncle!" Chen Ming shouted at the middle-aged man.
Chen Dashan tugged at Chen Ming and said excitedly,""Mingzi, send your college admission letter to the village branch.| The book is in the office. I want you to go and get it yourself!”
Chen Ming's parents 'eyes lit up when they heard the words " admission notice."
There was only one thought in their minds now, and that was that their son was going to become a university student.
The first university student in the village!
As parents, they naturally felt proud from the bottom of their hearts.
In his previous life, when Chen Ming heard that the notice had been delivered, he was also extremely excited. However, after experiencing decades of ups and downs in life, he was now calm.
He turned to his parents and said,"Mom, Dad, I'll go get the admission notice!"”
"Go, come back early!" Xu Xiufang smiled kindly.
Then, Chen Ming and his uncle walked out of the house and stepped into the snow.
Ps: Little brother kneels and begs for data flowers!! Thank you, everyone! The next one was even more exciting!
