Siheyuan: First-class Merit at the Start

October 1962, Beijing.

In a large compound, in a two-story building.

A middle-aged man in his fifties wearing black-framed glasses was walking around the room anxiously.

"Xiao Kun, please cook more meat. That child must have suffered a lot outside."

"I see, uncle. You've told me this eight hundred times this morning."

Then a woman who looked to be in her thirties came out of the kitchen. She held a cup of tea in her hand. She said with a wry smile, "Uncle, why don't you take a break? You've been walking around all morning, and you're not dizzy, but I am."

The middle-aged man was about to speak when a voice suddenly rang out from the door: "Report."

Wang He hurried over to the chair and sat down. He straightened his already meticulously dressed clothes and then slowly said, "Come in."

Then, a young man about 1.8 meters tall, with a well-proportioned body, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes came in front of Wang He, holding a green leather bag in his right hand and a bandage on his left hand.

After placing the bag at his feet, he saluted respectfully: "Comrade Wang He, Li Polu reports to you."

Wang He didn't even raise his head, and drank his tea slowly. Just as he was about to speak, the woman standing beside him ran up to him and said anxiously, "Po Lu, what happened to your hand? Are there any other injuries? Let me take a look. You are the same. You didn't study hard, but insisted on joining the army."

As the woman spoke, tears flowed down her face like crazy.

Hearing this, Wang He, who had been pretending to be calm, paused while drinking his tea. He thought to himself, wasn't it just a matter of time? Why was Xiao Kun crying so hard?

However, out of the basic qualities of a big boss, he resisted the urge to look up at Li Polu.

Wang Xiaokun's worried look made Li Polu's teeth ache. He hurriedly comforted her, "Sister Kun, I'm fine. It's just a superficial wound. I healed on the way back. I just wanted to scare Uncle Wang on purpose. Don't worry. Just watch if you don't believe me."

As he spoke, Li Polu prepared to take off the sling and wave his left hand. (It is usually called a forearm sling, not a front shoulder sling.)

This action scared Wang Xiaokun.

"Okay, okay, isn't it enough that I believe you? Don't move." Wang Xiaokun hurriedly held Li Polu's arm and said anxiously.

"No, sister. I'm serious. I really am trying to scare the old man. Wait, I'm going to show you how to split a brick with my bare hands. Go get me a brick."

After saying that, Li Polu looked around and pretended to look for bricks.

Seeing that Li Polu seemed to be fine, Wang Xiaokun stopped crying.

Wang He, who was sitting next to him, coughed and said, "Xiao Kun, go check the kitchen first."

Wang Xiaokun then returned to the kitchen, looking back every few steps and with deep worry in his eyes.

After Wang Xiaokun left, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became awkward.

Neither of them spoke.

After a while, the man sitting there couldn't help himself anymore and shouted, "Li Polu, are you willing to come back? Why don't you die outside?"

At the same time, he smashed the teacup next to him and glared at the motionless young man in front of him with anger on his face.

The young man called Li Polu stood there like a tall pine tree, letting the tea soak his dark green cotton coat.

Then he quickly caught the falling teacup.

He said helplessly, "I wanted to die outside, but someone tricked me back here, didn't they?"

"Uncle Wang, we haven't seen each other for so many years. Why are you still so impatient? You can't get angry when you are old. It's easy to get sick."

Li Polu put the teacup on the table in front of Uncle Wang with a playful smile, and then collapsed on the chair.

It’s just that Wang He doesn’t have a beard, otherwise he would be furious at this moment.

"So it's my fault. I shouldn't have begged so hard to get you back. I should have let you die outside like your parents, right?" Wang He said sarcastically, "Why, you are very dissatisfied? Do I have to kowtow to you and apologize to you?"

Li Polu said sternly, "Uncle Wang, what are you talking about? You are my elder. How dare I ask you to kowtow to me twice? Isn't that an insult to me?"

After hearing what Li Polu said, Wang He's expression eased a little. Before he could continue, Li Polu continued with what he had just said: "Actually, one knock is enough. Two knocks are really serious."

"Li Polu, your uncle." Wang He suddenly became furious. You can't tell the difference between good and bad words, right?

"No, my grandfather died in the forties. Don't scold him. If you want to scold someone, scold me instead."

Wang He, who was originally furious, was stunned for a moment after hearing this, as if he remembered the days when he fought side by side with Li Polu's father.

The emotions that had been brewing for the whole morning, too many words, turned into a soft sigh: "Hang on, it's good to be back, it's good to be back."

Faced with this situation, Li Polu didn't know what to say. He was not afraid of Wang He's bullying, but he was afraid of the old man's sudden sadness.

Fortunately, just when the atmosphere was awkward again, Wang Xiaokun came out with dishes and said, "Okay, let's eat first. Uncle, please stop talking. Isn't Po Lu back safe and sound?"

Wang He nodded and said to Li Polu, "Let's eat first. Your sister Kun has spent a lot of money today. She has used up half a month's worth of meat coupons just to make more meat for you. Rest at home for a few days first. I will find a class for you in two days. This will save you from worrying about running around all day long. From now on, you should stay in Sijiu City and behave yourself. If you dare to run around again, I will break your legs."

Hearing this, Li Polu, who was originally holding the bowl and eating meat, felt a chill on his back. A fear from the soul emerged involuntarily.

In an instant, some memories that did not belong to him began to flood into his mind.

In fact, the Li Polu in front of Wang He was the same as the Li Polu that Wang He knew, except for the hardware, but everything inside had been changed.

Now Li Polu is just a cow or horse from the future world, an unlucky guy who bravely rescued a girl who fell into the water but unfortunately drowned.

The original Li Polu in this time and space had actually died of wound infection on the train back to Sijiu City.

Of course, it is reasonable to say that the current Li Polu is still the same Li Polu.

Because Li Polu, who traveled through time and space, received all the information of this body after entering it, including the original life experience, emotions, thoughts, qualities and skills.

It can be said that the soul of Li Polu in the future traveled through time and space to Li Polu in this time and space, or it can be said that Li Polu in this time and space has an additional memory about the future.

Li Polu, now 21 years old, is a retired military officer from the Fanqu Military District. He was also a talented player who was admitted to Harbin Institute of Technology at the age of 16.

Of course, as the carrier of the soul, the original owner's family situation is also extremely standard.

The basic condition is that both parents are dead, but there is a slight difference in that the original owner's parents are not only dead, but also two kings. The original owner's father was a student of the first class of the military academy, and he had the original owner when he was in his forties. The original owner's mother was also born into a good family, graduated from the Union Medical College, and then devoted herself to the glorious cause without hesitation and became an excellent military doctor. Both of them died on the peninsula.

At that time, the original owner was only 13 years old. After that, his guardian became his father's best friend Wang He.

Wang He, one of the authorities in the metallurgical industry, is currently the head of an industrial department in Xinlong State. Having come through that chaotic era, his family situation is not much better than Li Polu's. He has no relatives around him except his eldest brother's daughter, Wang Xiaokun.

What kind of sparks will a rebellious child who has just lost his parents create when he meets an elder who treats him like his own son? This can be seen from Li Polu's instinctive reaction.

Under Wang He's patient guidance and loving education, Li Polu, who had been a bully in the compound for two years, suddenly had an epiphany overnight and then turned over a new leaf. It took him only one year to be admitted to Harbin Institute of Technology, which has a legendary president.

Afterwards, Li Bolu boarded the train to Harbin amid the reluctant gazes of his father's old comrades and close friends.

From then on, the sky is high enough for birds to fly, and the sea is wide enough for fish to jump.
