1952, Sijiucheng.

"Where did this take me? Is this still China?"

Chen Xiao rubbed his head and got up from the bed. He lifted the slightly stiff cotton quilt and looked around in confusion.

There were wooden tables, chairs, and benches, a floor paved with blue bricks, and slightly mottled walls that were still shedding dust from time to time.

Upon learning about his current situation, Chen Xiao was shocked.

Then Chen Xiao subconsciously reached into his trouser pocket, ready to take out his cell phone to call the police.

Unfortunately, my pockets are empty, I have nothing.

When I looked down at my body, I realized that I had been changed into a Zhongshan suit without knowing when.

"Could it be... could it be that I have traveled through time?"

Looking up and glancing at the calendar on the wall, Chen Xiao swallowed.

1952, December 2.

Just as Chen Xiao frowned and wondered if he had traveled through time, suddenly a large number of memories flooded into his mind.

It took a long time for Chen Xiao to integrate this memory, and he became more certain that he had really traveled through time and space, and it was not someone else's prank.

After all, forcing memories is something that even the technology of 2024 cannot do.

After sorting out this memory, Chen Xiao finally understood the current situation.

The original owner has the same name and surname as Chen Xiao, and even the same appearance and height. He is also 79 meters tall and handsome.

Of course there is also that one, still 18, who is one of the outstanding ones. We just don’t know how strong he is in combat at the moment.

The original owner's father died heroically while participating in the Korean War, leaving the original owner with the title of martyr's family member.

The original owner's mother worked in the fitter workshop of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill and was accidentally crushed by a machine some time ago.

He was eventually sent to the hospital but died.

The steel mill gave a pension and agreed to let Chen Xiao take over his mother's job.

Having sorted out this, Chen Xiao frowned slightly.

It wasn't because he could empathize with the original owner's experience of losing both his parents.

Moreover, the words "Red Star Steel Mill" looked familiar to him.

It's a bit like a TV show I watched before.

The courtyard is full of beasts!

Chen Xiao continued to sort out his memories.

Then, familiar characters appeared in my mind.

Morally upright Yi Zhonghai.

Liu Haizhong, a kind father and filial son.

Generous and generous Yan Bugui.

The civilized and kind Jia Zhang family.

A deaf old lady with good hearing and good eyesight.

Xu Damao is loyal and unwavering.

……and many more.

"really!!!!"

After sorting out all his memories, Chen Xiao's eyes were as sharp as torches, and the next moment he silently clenched his fists.

"As expected, I have traveled to a world filled with birds."

Just then, my stomach started to growl.

A feeling of hunger surged in his heart, forcing Chen Xiao to find something to eat.

When he arrived in the kitchen, Chen Xiao couldn't wait to look for food.

In the end, only two hard mixed-flour steamed buns were found in the pot.

Chen Xiao took the hard mixed flour steamed bread in his hand and squeezed it a few times. His fingers turned blue but he still couldn't move the mixed flour steamed bread at all.

He knocked it gently on the stove again, and there was a series of banging sounds.

"It's so hard... How can I eat it..."

"I've traveled through time to the year 50, and the three-year famine hasn't even begun yet. There should be food for sale outside, right? Besides, food coupons weren't needed in this era. They were introduced in 53."

Remembering the pension left by the original owner, Chen Xiao left the kitchen and relied on his memory to find a stack of banknotes under the bed.

(Note: For the sake of story development, the currency uses the 55-year system.)

He took out a big black ten note and put it in his trouser pocket, opened the door and got on the 28-inch bicycle left by his mother.

The original owner lived in the east wing next to Sha Zhu's house. It was not large, with only two small rooms.

Go through the hanging flower gate and walk out of the courtyard to reach the alley.

It was still early and there were few people on the road.

Before leaving the alley, I could hear the bustling voices on the Old Drum Tower Street and the broadcasts of this era playing from the loud speakers.

When you come to the Old Drum Tower Street, you will see slogans of the times posted on both sides of the road. The streets are full of pedestrians wearing Zhongshan suits or green military uniforms, and the atmosphere of the times is overwhelming.

Chen Xiao found a shop selling buns and sat down.

"Boss, four meat buns and a bowl of soy milk." Chen Xiao waved to the shop owner.

Soon, the shopkeeper came over with a wooden tray and placed the meat buns and soy milk in front of Chen Xiao using the movements he had practiced for two and a half years.

"Four meat buns! A bowl of soy milk! A total of 42 cents. What a great deal!"

Putting the towel over his shoulders, the shop owner gave his signature smile that he had practiced for two and a half years.

Chen Xiao took out a big black ten from his pocket and handed it over.

"Your change is nine dollars and fifty-eight cents. Keep it!"

Then, the shop owner continued to serve other customers.

After putting the change into his pocket, Chen Xiao picked up a meat bun with chopsticks and started eating.

The meat buns were very fragrant. This was the first time Chen Xiao had eaten such delicious meat buns.

After all, there were no additives in that era, and pork was also grown locally.

Eat a meat bun in three or two bites, and then have a sip of steaming hot soy milk.

After a while, four meat buns and a bowl of soy milk were all in Chen Xiao's stomach.

In order to solve the problem of lunch and dinner, I spent another dollar to buy ten meat buns before leaving.

Carrying a meat bun wrapped in an oil-paper bag, he rode his bicycle back to the courtyard.

Today is Saturday and the workers are on holiday. As an apprentice fitter in a steel rolling mill, Chen Xiao naturally does not have to go to work.

Riding on the way back to the courtyard, Chen Xiao kept thinking in his mind.

Since ancient times, there has been a system for time travel.

He has been here for a long time, but why hasn't the system been activated yet?

Confused, Chen Xiao shouted in his mind, trying to get a response from the system.

"Tongzi, Tongzi, I've been here for so long, why don't you activate it for me..."

After a moment of silence, the intermittent voice of the system sounded in my mind.

[Activation conditions are insufficient... Cannot be activated at this time...]

"Activation conditions? What activation conditions?"

It took a while for Chen Xiao to finish speaking, but there was still no response from the system.

In the end, Chen Xiao had to put the system issue aside for the time being.

Before entering the courtyard, I saw the third uncle Yan Bugui leaning against the door frame with his eyes closed in rest from afar.

As Chen Xiao got closer, Yan Bugui, who had his eyes closed to rest, suddenly twitched his nose a few times.

"It smells so good...it's the smell of meat buns."

While mumbling, Yan Bugui opened his eyes, saw that it was Chen Xiao who came back, and greeted him warmly.

"It's Chen Xiao, what are you doing so early?"

"Good morning, Uncle San. I was hungry this morning, so I went out to buy some meat buns." Chen Xiao squeezed the brake, put one foot on the ground to support the bicycle, and then picked up the meat bun he had just bought and said.

"I was wondering why it smelled so good. Turns out you, Chen Xiao, bought some meat buns." As he spoke, Yan Bugui's eyes kept looking at Chen Xiao's meat buns.

At the same time, I was thinking about whether I could find a way to get two meat buns to eat.

At this moment, Yan Bugui had an idea.

"Chen Xiao, you're not young anymore, it's time for you to find a wife. Do you want Third Uncle to introduce one to you?"

"Hey, no, no, no... Third Uncle, I'm still young, there's no rush to get married. You go ahead and do your thing, I'll go in first."

Without waiting for Yan Bugui to finish speaking, Chen Xiao kicked the ground with his left foot and rode his bicycle through the gate of the courtyard.

Want to use the introduction of a wife to cheat food and drink? It's okay to fool Sha Zhu, but do you want to fool Chen Xiao?

There are no doors! ! !
