Chapter 1 May I have a good life

Next Chapter

The early autumn morning in the north was already slightly chilly, and the unusually heavy rain of early autumn poured down, crackling and splashing water on the asphalt pavement.

There are no colorful neon lights on both sides of the streets, no roar of cars rushing through, only the scattered courtyard houses, black and white shop signs, and the occasional trolleybus passing through the streets, showing the unique characteristics of this era, telling the history of this ancient city.

In the 90s, under the double impact of new capitalist ideas and free economy, Yanjing City had two completely different temperaments, vigorous vitality and depressed and dull ancient rhyme, exuding a charming atmosphere that made people involuntarily fall into it.

However, for Li Ranyan, all this is like an illusory and real dream like Zhuang Zhou's dream butterfly. The sober mind kept thinking but still couldn't believe the reality in front of me, I was in a yard that I had never been to, gray bricks, green tiles and white walls, I used to think about how comfortable it would be to live in such a yard, but when I really had it, I felt fear.

The sound of rain outside the house gradually stopped, a large number of dark clouds dispersed, and the dreary weather finally cleared up, but the depression in Li Ran's heart did not ease at all but became more serious.

It's been three days since I woke up and found myself in an unfamiliar environment, and it's been three days since I basically understood my condition, from the confusion when I first woke up to the confusion when I was now at a loss when I sorted out the chaotic memories in my brain, everything was so unreal.

Even though I knew what I was in from my remaining memories, it didn't help. As a social good young man and atheist who has been bathed in the sunshine and rain of the party since childhood, accepted Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought, and was born under the red flag and grew up in a new society, Li Ran never thought that this kind of fucking thing would happen to him one day.

From childhood to adulthood, he has a harmonious family and both parents, although he is not rich and rich, he has grown up healthy in a well-off family without worrying about food and drink, and has never had any pain and disaster. After graduating from Ping'an University, he opened a small company with a flexible brain and his own efforts, plus a little luck, which was not large in scale but also made some money, and he barely had a successful career, and he was also a young talent in his hometown in a third-tier city in the north.

I have a house and a car, and I have talked about a few girlfriends, and I can be regarded as a winner in life when I think about it. I was going to find a virtuous girl to get married and have children as soon as possible, live a life with a house, a car, a deposit, a wife and children, a hot kang head, have nothing to do to travel, usually play games and watch TV after work, and at night you can also pull your wife to do something shameless, such a life is not beautiful.

As a result, I never expected that when I woke up, there was nothing, what TV games, what garage storage equipment all came to naught, only him, Li Ran is still Li Ran, but the world is no longer that world. The strange and familiar environment always felt out of place, and everything was so illusory in his eyes.

In the past three days since I woke up, I often wonder if this will be a very real dream, I am just trapped in a dream, maybe in the dream life cycle everything can be changed back, then suicide in the dream should be able to wake up and end, but when he picked up the knife, the cold touch reminded him that he may never wake up after this knife.

After constantly struggling, thinking, and pondering, he realized that he might not be able to go back, and it was precisely because of this realization that he gradually accepted the reality. In 1993, in this early autumn season, he is no longer a young talent born in the 80s in a third-tier small city in the north in the 21st century, but a veteran youth who has been kicked out of his home at the foot of the imperial city and two children who are waiting to be fed.

That's right, his crossing benefits are two pink and tender little babies. The tear-jerking drama that I watched with my mother when I was a child was staged on my body in a different time and space.

Li Ran, the former old driver, successfully overturned on the road of rebelling against the feudal patriarch and pursuing free love, leaving a mess and his lover to turn into butterflies. The current self has to be experienced on behalf of others, and it is unbalanced when I think about it.

I also wondered, a lieutenant and deputy company commander at a young age in the army, and he was about to be promoted, how can he be regarded as promising, and in the future, he will come out with a good family history, and nothing can be solved at that time, so he asks what the situation in the world is, and the direct teaching promises life and death.

Stealing the forbidden fruit and not taking protective measures made the subject's stomach bigger, and he returned to the army stupidly. As a result, her girlfriend Qin Yuqing is also a stupid girl with dead eyes, not only hiding from the two people in the family but also plotting to secretly give birth to a child, can you imagine that two inexperienced young people in their twenties actually plotted to have a child and forced both parents to agree to the marriage? Young driver, you are so naïve.

When Qin Yuqing saw that his belly was big and couldn't cover it, he asked for leave from his family and school, went to the countryside to rent a yard, and went to give birth without any relatives. Because he was temporarily sent out to exercise, the former Li Ran did not receive the news in time, and as a result, both of them miscalculated the difficulty of giving birth, and when the female classmate who accompanied him found out that the situation was not right, it was too late to send him to the hospital, because of the hidden coronary heart disease, and the pregnancy did not take care of his body, which led to a catastrophe, but fortunately, the child was only born prematurely for a week, and his body was still healthy.

When the ex received the news and rushed back from the army, he didn't even see her for the last time. Next is a series of bloody plots, the Qin family, like the old man of the Li family, has fought the world with Taizu, although the two families do not deal with each other, but they never thought that they would come to this point, one of the two families is more inclined to the development of the army, and the other is biased towards the development of the political arena. However, the same thing is that there are decisive forces in these four or nine cities, and they are the backbone of the banner in their own factions, so things naturally can't be simply passed, and there are still no people, how can the Qin family give up, and stop the predecessor's position in the army as soon as possible, and even Qin Yuqing's father, Qin Lianru, deputy secretary of the Xiangnan Provincial Party Committee, wants to send Li Ran to a military court, but although the Li family is at a loss, they can't watch their son in prison, Li Ran's father, Li Zhengfeng, the commander of the Yanjing Garrison, personally came to apologize and finally let the Qin family let go, but it is also the bottom line that Li Ran's future is ruined, which naturally involves a lot of interests。

The ex-boss rushed back to find that his girlfriend had passed away, leaving only a pair of children, and his heart was painful and disheartened. Ignoring the treatment of the two patriarchs, he finished Qin Yuqing's funeral alone, left with a pair of children a month later, and lived in the courtyard where he lives now is also a courtyard left by his grandfather.

The courtyard is small and has only five rooms. When my grandfather died, he left this yard to him, but he didn't expect it to be used in this situation. After living there, the ex took care of the two children every day, and every time he looked at it, he remembered his deceased lover, and as a result, he was sad for a long time, so he died on the night three days ago and followed his lover. And Li Ran's confused soul penetrated the other world and fused the remnant soul of his predecessor to become the new Li Ran, that is, Li Ran in the 21st century and Li Ran, the son of the family in 1993. After taking over the short twenty years of his predecessor's life and the mess he left behind, as well as his current pair of children, no matter what, since he can't change the existing facts, he must have the courage to face life. If it comes, it will be safe. Even if you don't think about yourself, just for these two poor children, you have to live strongly, and you have to live better.

But what about the parents in that world? How sad it would be for them to know that they were dead, and how cruel it is for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person to a parent who is not yet 50 years old. Who will be able to provide for them when they die in the future? Hey! If I had married earlier and given them a grandchild, at least they would have had something to rely on. Thinking of this, his heart seemed to be so painful that he couldn't breathe, and tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes. The twenty-eight years of his life have since become a cloud of the past, I wish my parents in a different time and space are all well, I am afraid that I will not see each other again in the future, and I hope that my parents can spend their old age in peace.
