September 15th, 1962.
Dongzhimen, 49 City.
The towering city tower was more than thirty meters tall. The eaves of the three-layered building were smaller the higher it went, like the top of a mountain.
The pier under the city tower was more than ten meters tall. After hundreds of years of wind and rain erosion, the surface of the city wall was greenish-gray and filled with an ancient aura.
It was noon, and the bustling crowd passed by the city gate. The six-meter-wide city gate seemed a little crowded.
Below the city gate, a muscular young man who looked to be in his twenties and was 1.85 meters tall looked up at the city gate tower.
He had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and an oval face. His skin was slightly dark, and his long yellow hair touched his shoulders. He looked very wild.
His tattered navy blue uniform was barely clean, but his trousers and coat were full of patches, and his cuffs and pants were also worn out.
"Scorpion, are you alright? We should enter the city." a square-faced man said.
Although he was also wearing a liberated outfit, there was not a single patch on his body. It was just that his liberated shoes were stained with a lot of mud. He must have walked quite a distance.
Hearing this, the young man's face turned even darker.
He turned his head and said with a fixed gaze," Uncle Zhang, how many times have I told you? Please call me by my name, Yi Guoqu."”
When Uncle Zhang heard this, he sized him up and then nodded with a smile."Good, good, good. Mule... National canal ~"
"Yi Guoqu!" The young man hurriedly corrected him loudly.
"A slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue." Uncle Zhang smiled and patted his mouth a few times. At the same time, he pressed his ears. This guy was not only big, but his voice was also loud and hard. This shout made his head buzz.
After a while, the smile on Uncle Zhang's face gradually disappeared. He said seriously," I'll call you Guoqu from now on. Guoqu, it seems that you've really recovered. The original foolishness is gone. I can rest assured now. The villagers can also rest assured.”
Yi Guoqu said with a sincere expression," I've been muddleheaded for 20 years, and my hometown has lost more than five years. It's all thanks to the villagers 'care that I have been able to eat for the past five years. When I settle down here, I'll go back to see everyone.”
Uncle Zhang's eyes were smiling. It seemed that although he was stupid before, he still remembered everything. He even knew that his father died five years ago.
Now that he was speaking logically, he was no longer stuttering like before. He still had the heart to go back and see them. Where was the silly look?
He stretched out his rough hands and patted his shoulders heavily. It was as if he was patting a rock.
"You're so thoughtful, but it's all thanks to your grandpa. I don't know if you remember, but every time Old Yi comes back, he leaves some money for the village. Otherwise, every family would have such a hard time and wouldn't be able to control a big eater like you. Look at your sturdy body, like a calf. You have to be filial in the future.”
Yi Guoqu's expression froze for a moment before he said seriously," I just couldn't think straight before. Actually, I remember everything!”
Uncle Zhang nodded and sighed." This is fate. Who would have thought that after falling into the river and coming out, one's brain would be filled with water and become smarter? Old Yi doesn't have a child, your third uncle doesn't have a child, and your father only has you. Fortunately, you've recovered.”
"Sigh, let's not talk about it anymore. It's good that you're fine. After you walk around for a while, hurry up and go to your uncle's house. Don't wander around on the street. I came here to do something and have to go back today.”
Yi Guoqu said," You're busy, you're busy. Don't worry about me. Nanluogu Alley is only half an hour's walk away. I can go there myself."”
"Alright, in that case, I'll leave.”With that, Uncle Zhang walked straight into the city gate.
Now, Yi Guoqu's idiocy had completely recovered. Moreover, he did not have the intelligence of a child. He was just like a normal person. This made people feel very relieved.
Looking at the figure that had disappeared into the distance, Yi Guoqu raised his head and looked at the 34-meter-tall city tower. His eyes suddenly drifted away.
It was really the year 62…
One second ago, he was still a mature courier in the 21st century. In the next second, he had crossed 60 years and become a 20-year-old fool with the same name in Xiangyang Village.
As soon as he woke up, the group of people surrounding him on the shore shouted," Mule, mule…"
At first, he was very confused and even a little frightened. After all, a group of people dressed in shabby clothes were not even as good as the workers who moved bricks at the construction site. At most, they were cleaner. He almost thought that he had been kidnapped.
After regaining his senses, Yi Guoqu still looked around in a daze to find where the mule was. He belatedly realized that the people in the village were calling him.
At that time, he almost fell out with them. He had only inherited a little of his predecessor's memories. Although he remembered very little, he was still familiar with the faces of the people around him, so he endured it.
After that, he gradually understood why these people called him Scorpion. It was not just a specialty he saw when he went to the toilet.
Also, when he worked in the village to earn work points, the work in the fields was as easy as playing. He felt energetic after working for half a day. At most, he would be short of breath and sweat a little. However, he was not tired at all! It was just a warm-up.
At that time, Yi Guoqu was very happy. This situation was completely different from delivering packages in 2002. Although delivering packages required some physical strength, he spent most of his time sitting in the car. He was a 180-pound fatty there.
Now that he had changed his body, he was also about 180 pounds, but he was covered in muscles. The feeling was completely different. Not only was his body full of strength, but he even felt that it was easier to bend down when squatting in the toilet.
The last and most important point was that Yi Guoqu had no parents and was a fool before. He gave him a cheap name just to make it easier to support him.
Because he had no family, Yi Guoqu went to his neighbor's house to freeload at night. Facing the pained expressions of his neighbor's family, he braced himself and ate two catties of cornbread and four bowls of paste. He was only 70% full.
Actually, he wanted to eat his fill, but the dinner he made that day was gone. He could only give up resentfully. After all, he had eaten a day's worth of food for five people.
Although he was strong, worked more and earned more work points, the work points were not enough for him to eat. It was all thanks to the money left by Sir System.
Just like that, Yi Guoqu struggled to survive for half a month. The villagers realized that he was not stupid anymore, so they let him follow the village committee officials to the 49th City.
And here, he had an uncle called Yi Zhonghai.
Thinking of this, Yi Guoqu's eyes were a little complicated. He had some impression of this uncle. With the addition of the villagers, he had a more comprehensive understanding.
Yi Zhonghai worked at the Third Rolling Mill. He was an honorable worker and one of the only two Grade 8 fitters in the factory. He lived in a courtyard with three courtyards in Nanluogu Lane.
At the same time, he also realized that he had not only traveled through time, but had also arrived in a TV series, Love in the Courtyard.
Yi Guoqu knew more than the villagers. For example, this uncle, who was also his uncle, might be early now, but his monthly salary should be around 90 yuan.
In this era where the average family income was only 20 to 30 yuan, his salary was equivalent to three people's. His salary was more than ten times that of Yi Guoqu.
This time, Yi Guoqu was here to seek refuge with his uncle. He wanted to find a job in this city and settle down here. He wanted to respond to the call of his previous life to collectively allow triplets. He wanted to give birth to eight to ten children here to play with.
