The capital, the capital.

Chengdong District, North Exit of Heping Street.

Yesterday's resurrection from the dead made Dong Xuebin feel a lot, if time did not regress miraculously, he would never see his mother again, never see Aunt Xuan again, and he also had the idea that it was good to be alive for the first time. After thinking about it all night, Dong Xuebin slept in the early morning, so it was already more than ten o'clock when he crawled out of the towel quilt in the morning. Turning over and getting off the old creaking spring sofa, he rubbed his eyes and went to the bathroom to wash, wiped his face at the end, yawned and casually said to the closed bedroom door: "Mom, are you awake?" ”

Mother Luan Xiaoping's choked voice hurriedly sounded in the house, "Get up early, clean up the house, do you still eat breakfast?" ”

"Let's wait for lunch." Dong Xuebin felt that his mother's tone was wrong, walked over quickly and pushed the door to take a look, only to see that his mother sitting on the snow-white sheet was in a hurry to wipe the tears on her face with the back of her hand. This is a photo of my mother and father when they got married, taken more than 20 years ago.

Dong Xuebin's heart ached slightly, and he sat down next to his mother, "Miss my dad?" ”

"No, no." Mom carefully put away the wallet and wiped her eyes, "I flipped it over just now, take it out and take a look." ”

He doesn't know how many times he has seen this picture in the past few years, his mother is relatively soft and weak, and whenever she thinks of sad things, she often cries by herself. Dong Xuebin didn't feel very comfortable, "Mom, it's all your son who has no ability, can't study, no ability, and no confidence in the civil service exam, at most he works with the Panjiayuan antique market during the winter and summer vacations, I, I, alas, when my father was hospitalized a few years ago, if I had earned money early to go to the best hospital for my father, my father might not have left." ”

The old mother touched his leg with her hand, "Don't talk nonsense, my son is the most capable, and he will definitely be the life of an official in the future." ”

Dong Xuebin moved his lips and couldn't say anything.

The mother smiled and touched her son's hand, "Don't think about it so much, Mom will cook you a delicious meal at noon." ”

A small plate of fried shredded pork with garlic sprouts, a bowl of boiled cabbage, and half a pot of rice porridge -- this is a good meal in Dong Xuebin's house. Usually when he is alone at home, he is reluctant to eat like this, often steaming a pot of rice and stir-frying a green vegetable casually makes do with two meals in the middle and evening of the day, not that Dong Xuebin is thrifty, but that the family does not have so much money, it is really a penny broken in half and spent.

He, Dong Xuebin, is 23 years old this year and graduated with a bachelor's degree.

Ordinary appearance, ordinary height, ordinary personality, and ordinary ability.

Savings at home: Never more than five figures.

When my father was hospitalized, all the family's savings were spent, and in the end, even the house was sold, and now this one-bedroom apartment is rented later. After my father died, my mother, who had taken too long to rest, lost her job, and the consumption in the capital was too high, so my mother simply gritted her teeth and went back to her hometown in the countryside, and asked someone to find a job as a Chinese teacher in a township middle school to earn money for herself to go to university.

Rent, water and electricity bills, living expenses, daily expenses, relying on his mother's meager salary alone is obviously not enough, so Dong Xuebin often goes to the supermarket to register on holidays or weekends or works in the antique city.

It's a bit bitter, but the stumbling four years can be regarded as surviving.

After dinner, my mother watched the old black-and-white movie "Tunnel War" on TV while cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and he went back to the bedroom to lie on the broken wood bed, staring at the ceiling with the skin of the wall in a daze. Now the universities in the capital basically do not manage the assignment of work, and I have also obtained the graduation certificate of the United University, if I can't pass the civil service examination and become an official, what should I do in the future?

Alas, it would be nice if I really had a superpower.

It's a pity that I tried so many times yesterday and I didn't succeed again.

Try again?

The door creaked open, and my mother poked her head out of the crack in the door, and said softly: "You read the book yourself, Mom will go upstairs to Aunt Xu's house to sit for a while, her son heard that he is also going to take this year's civil service exam, and he is the same test center as you, Mom will see if she can let her son give you tutoring homework, Xiaodong is very good at studying." ”

Dong Xuebin's chest was a little panicked, and he hummed hoarsely.

"Mom will be back in a moment." Knock, the door closes.

Gritting his teeth, Dong Xuebin collected his thoughts and started to make a boring attempt again.

Get back! Return! Back off! Retrogression! back！

Suddenly, Dong Xuebin, who was lying down, only felt that his body moved, but when he blinked his eyes and looked left and right, he shook his head helplessly, yes, still no response.

Just as he had given up trying, there was a creak, and the door of the hut opened without warning.

The old mother poked her head out and looked at her son and said, "You read the book yourself, Mom will go to your Aunt Xu's house to sit for a while, her son heard that he is also going to take this year's civil service exam, and he is the same test center as you, Mom will see if she can let her son tutor you with tutoring homework, Xiaodong is very good at studying." ”

Dong Xuebin was stunned for a moment, "Huh? ”

The same words, the same tone.

This is a scene that happened about fifty or sixty seconds ago!

Seeing her son's reaction so big, the mother blinked her eyes weakly and whispered: "Mom knows that you love face, but her son Xiaodong got a full score in the national examination last year, let him tell you about it, and your chances of passing are slightly greater." ”

Dong Xuebin said dumbfounded: "I didn't mean that. ”

Mom looked at his expression, "Then Mom went?" ”

After his mother left, Dong Xuebin slapped his head hard, and it was done, it was actually done!

Resisting the surprise in his heart, he quickly grabbed a small plastic orange peel alarm clock, stared at the time on it without blinking, and silently recited the "incantation" again.

Get back! Return! Back off! Retrogression! back！

Dong Xuebin read from afternoon to evening, and after eating for a while, he read from night to night. Finally, the hard work paid off, and when it was past 2 minutes and 28 seconds at 0:00 in the night, time regressed again, back to 1 minute and 28 seconds after 0:00, a full minute backwards!

Don't mention the joy in Dong Xuebin's heart.

He understood that there was an error in the time of the alarm clock, so he quickly turned on the old-fashioned 29-inch color TV with a spherical screen.

In the upper right corner of an evening military program, there is exactly a time display - 23:59:19.

It took about nineteen seconds to turn on the TV channel, which means that the moment he used "return" was exactly twelve o'clock in the night. He blinked his eyes and boldly speculated that this "return" could it be that it was based on zero o'clock in the morning, which could only be used once a day, and each time it was used, it would return to that point in time sixty seconds ago?

Oh, God!

If that's the case, then God is too interesting to him!!
