Sitting on the bed, Chen Yu stared blankly at the pendulum clock.
The ticking of the old-fashioned pendulum clock reminded him that it was a product of the last century.
On the wall was an old calendar with the words "Working Class" printed on it.
Chen Yu stared blankly at it for a long time before he finally found today's date in the area the size of a piece of tofu.
December 31st, 1990.
"Am I…reborn…"
Chen Yu's eyes widened as he surveyed his surroundings in disbelief. His mind was aching faintly as his dusty memories surged like a tide.
Last night, he was lying in front of the computer writing materials. It was his superior who asked him to rush out overnight.
In the end, he suddenly fell asleep after writing the materials in the middle of the night. In the blink of an eye, he returned to the 90s.
Chen Yu nodded as he looked at the strangely familiar decorations in the room. There was a desk with a glass cover, a large yellow wardrobe in the corner, and a square mirror by the door...
This was the place where he had lived for more than 20 years.
At this time, he had graduated from high school and would only be 19 years old the next year.
19 years old!
He had a young body, and his mind was still filled with knowledge and experience from decades later. He had also been reborn into the 90s!
The 1990s was not an era where tycoons were everywhere. It was an era where there were plenty of opportunities!
His hometown was in Fushun, Liao Province in Northeast China. It was a well-known coal mine and was known as the largest open-pit coal mine in Asia!
Meanwhile, Chen Yu's current family background wasn't bad either. In the future, he would be someone else's child. Chen Yu's father, Chen Weidong, was the director of the grain station, while his mother, Zhang Lan, was the dispatch officer of the grain station.
Relying on the two grain stations 'employees, Chen Yu's family didn't starve during difficult times.
And because it was close to the big brother of the Su country, there were many big and small "Daoye" on the northeast border.
In his previous life, Chen Yu was also envious when he saw other people earning money. Relying on his family's connections, he took a batch of grain from the grain office at a low price and wanted to resell it to the Su Nation.
When he got on the train in a daze, he had just reached the border between the two countries and had yet to propose a deal when he was pressed down by the Russians.
With the Russian's Bobosha on his head, he did not dare to ask for the food back. In the end, he could only run back dejectedly.
After returning, Chen Yu became much more well-behaved. Following his parents 'wishes, he took over the position and lived half his life muddle-headedly within the system.
In his previous life, the path of "Master Dao" had collapsed halfway. When he saw the people around him rely on their keen sense of smell to make a fortune, he could not help but feel a little jealous.
Now that he had returned to the northeast in the 1990s and gained decades of experience from his previous life, how could Chen Yu be satisfied with taking over his position and living the rest of his life in a daze?
At this time, the big brother, the Su country, was struggling on the verge of death. Due to their domestic industrial chain being extremely "biased", the masses were extremely short of all kinds of food and materials.
Many "Master Dao" had earned a lot of money by smuggling and reselling.
Then, they even went on television and newspapers in an ostentatious manner to accept all kinds of awards. Who would have thought that they started off as "profiteers"!
In this life, he had been reborn in the 90s. If he could seize the opportunity, his achievements would definitely surpass them!
Thinking up to this point, Chen Yu couldn't help but feel excited. This was the golden age that belonged to him!
"Little Yu, Little Yu! Come out and help move the things!"
As soon as this thought appeared in his mind, Chen Yu heard his mother's voice coming from outside the room.
When he opened the door, he saw Zhang Lan and Chen Weidong, each carrying a few large cardboard boxes, panting as they climbed up to the third floor.
In the narrow tube-shaped apartment, there were still many colleagues from the grain station. They all carried large cardboard boxes back to their rooms with bitter faces.
The large, heavy cardboard boxes piled up in the building blocked everyone's view. Chen Yu hurriedly helped move them in.
"Dad, Mom, what's inside? Is it worth your effort to get it back?”
Chen Yu, who was over 1.8 meters tall, found it difficult to even lift up a stack of cardboard boxes. The moment he touched the items inside, they even made a " clattering " sound. Could this be a New Year's benefit from the grain office?
“嗐! There was no need to mention the benefits! Your dad's unit is in trouble.”
"At the beginning of the year, I gave the food to a food factory. At that time, I didn't receive any money. When I went to ask for payment at the end of the year, they only said that the food hadn't been sold, so I didn't have any money.”
After watching Chen Yu move the large cardboard box from the national highway into the house, Zhang Lan skillfully picked up the hot water bottle and filled it with water from the stove in the corridor. In just a few seconds, she had already prepared lunch for the family of three.
Looking at the instant noodles on the table, Chen Yu and his son looked at each other and fell silent.
This was today's lunch…Oh no!
This would be their lunch for the next month or even a few months.
In Chen Yu's previous life, he had never eaten instant noodles ever since he started working. Sometimes, when he didn't have time to cook, he would rather starve for an entire day than eat instant noodles.
When he was 19 years old, he remembered that his family ate instant noodles for half a year.
No matter how Zhang Lan tried to cook the instant noodles, Chen Yu was scared of eating them. In the end, he couldn't help but vomit whenever he smelled the instant noodles.
"The Fumanduo Food Factory's profits aren't good. We owe food money for a whole year. Now that we're using instant noodles to pay the bill, how can I be embarrassed to ask for New Year benefits from the higher-ups?”
Chen Weidong sighed and was the first to pick up his chopsticks. In fact, eating this stuff in the 1990s was still a luxury, but after eating a few more meals, one would know the bitterness.
After hearing this, Chen Yu recalled that his father had given grain to a food factory at the beginning of the year. This factory didn't even have the money to pay its bills by the end of the year.
In the end, he had no choice but to let the dozens of people in the grain office eat instant noodles to survive.
Logically speaking, food was a hard currency. As long as it was sold cheaper, it would not be unsalable.
From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, could it still be eaten after being stored for so long?
Chen Yu picked up the packaging and took a look. Good heavens... there were still ten days before the shelf life.
His family had been eating expired food for half a year in his previous life!
Thinking up to this point, Chen Yu lost his appetite for the instant noodles he had brewed.
"Dad, how much food did you approve for the Fumanduo Food Factory at the beginning of the year? It doesn't make sense for us to let our debt collectors eat instant noodles now. I just looked at the production date. It's been a whole year!”
Chen Yu's brows furrowed tightly. This Fumanduo Food Factory was also stunned. Besides, who would eat this stuff that was about to expire?!
Chen Weidong lowered his head without a word. He was too ashamed to explain this to his son.
His mother, Zhang Lan, glanced at him and said unhappily,
"A total of 500 tons of grain! The unsalable instant noodles warehouse could not even hold them anymore! If I go and watch it today, it'll be enough for our family to eat until we retire!”
500 tons of food!
That was a total of 5 million packets of instant noodles!
According to the warehouse price, the loss was more than 500,000 dollars!
His father would definitely be the scapegoat if the grain office did not receive the money. Besides, it would not be good if the family ate instant noodles for half a year!
