1978 year.

Smallville, Massachusetts.

It was a monotonous, peaceful town. The air in the town is fresh and the roads are clean and empty. The inhabitants of the town live an indifferent, slow-paced life. They are very happy when the sun rises and the sun sets. There are very few entertainment facilities in the town, there is no entertainment city with the lights of the city, and there is no midnight show for singing and dancing, and when it gets dark, the residents of the town rest at home early. A cinema in the centre of town is also very old, and most of the films shown are very old. Although the town is a bit remote, and few people know about it outside the town, the people in the town are laughing and laughing on weekdays, and the atmosphere is peaceful.

There is a family in the southwest of the town with a family of four. That's the John Danfoss family.

John has two children, his eight-year-old sister Carol Danvers and five-year-old brother Joe Danvers, as well as a beautiful and empathetic wife, Mary. John felt that life was perfect.

At the moment, in the backyard of John's house, his son, Joe Danforth, is lying on the lawn in the backyard.

It was noon, it was the height of summer, the cicadas were chirping, the weather was very hot, but Joe didn't feel hot in the sun, but was very comfortable.

Joe looked directly at the sun, and did not feel the sun dazzling at all, his eyes were empty, and those who knew him well would know at a glance that the child was in a daze again. Everyone in the town knows that the young man of John's family is not afraid of the sun, and likes to be in a daze in the sun, and he does not have the liveliness and jumpiness of a five-year-old child at all.

"It's been five years" Joe thought silently in his heart, he is five years old this year, and he has also traveled to this world for five years, yes, he is a time-traveler.

In the previous life, Joe was a Chinese named Qiao Xuan, and he became Joe Danfoss in this life. After some initial panic, Joe was already comfortable with the crossing. In this life, he became an American, his parents at home were very good to him, and he had a sister who had a good relationship but cheated him every day, and he was very happy. Moreover, as a mentally thirty-year-old man who has seen the bustling and fast-paced life of the city, he is fascinated by the faint tranquility between people and the environment in the town.

After the crossing, Joe was in a mess for most of the time, and the child's brain was not yet fully developed, so when he thought about it, he would feel very tired, sleepy, and want to sleep. It is only after he has been exposed to the sun that he feels energetic. So after he found out that sunlight has this effect, he liked to think under the sun, and over time, the residents of the town also knew, after all, the town is small, and some interesting stories are always spread quickly.

Joe was thinking, thinking about his plans for the future. After all, the traversers have all done amazing monumental deeds, and as a traverser, they can't be ashamed.

He knew that it was 1978, that the time to travel was very early, and that there were still many opportunities. Even in the United States, this era is a golden age of opportunity. And the country on the other side of the ocean has many opportunities in the future. Although he was very comfortable in the town, how could a man satisfy his ambitions if he didn't do a lot of things, not to mention, he was still a traverser and had a prescient vision, which made Joe's whole person a little inflated.

"You have to save money first, a little bit, and after the age of 16, you will go out and work hard." Joe clenched his fists, a serious look, on his five-year-old little face, making this kind of expression so that the women were afraid that they would be cute.

"When the time comes, I'll get out of the mess in the United States, and then go back to China to take a look, stir up the wind and rain in the United States first, kick Gates, punch Jobs, haha" Thinking of the happy place, Joe couldn't help laughing, he was looking forward to life when he grew up, and it was too boring to be a child.

"It's a pity, I'm too young, and it will take more than ten years to grow up, how many opportunities to make a fortune will I miss" Thinking of money, Joe's eyes brightened and glowed. He was poor. In my last life, I worked hard in the city for many years, and I hated to turn one dollar into two flowers, so I finally had a small nest of my own, "I want to make a lot of money in this life and live in a manor!" ”

After lying down for a while, Joe looked at the sky, felt that it was not early, stood up and patted the dust on his body, and turned to walk towards the house.

As soon as I entered the living room, I saw my father, John, sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper. Smallville Daily. "A boring newspaper" This is Joe's evaluation of it, and what is written on it is some trivial things, like someone's car is broken, whose cow is lost or something" What makes Joe even more disgusted is that he has also been in the newspaper, more than once, twice! One is the report of his birth, and that's it, not long ago, he reported it for the second time, and it said "Joe, a young man from John's family, likes to bask in the sun", my God, this can be in the newspaper, I really don't know if it has nothing to write about, so it will put this kind of on it.

"I'm back, Daddy," said Joe to his father.

"Finished in the sun?" Joe's father, John, asked,

"Hmm"

"I don't know why you like to bask in the sun, so much sun!" Even though he had known about it for a long time, John still had some difficulty accepting it.

"Aha, I'll go back to my room first" Joe snorted and was about to go into his room.

"Wait a minute, it's getting late, you go and call your sister Carol back," John said.

"She's running out to play again?" Joe asked.

"Well, it should be at Pamela's house, you go and see" Although Joe is only five years old, he has been obedient and sensible since he was a child, and there are basically no outsiders in the town, so John is not worried about Joe at all, and he is used to it, and often arranges for him to do something. Joe is also happy to help John do things with money to get money, he is short of money, he wants to save money to do big things.

"Okay" Joe immediately agreed, but he didn't get it, and looked at John.

"Haha, Mary, look at your good son, what a money junkie," John knew what he meant as soon as he saw Joe's movements, "Here you go," John gave Joe five cents, and Joe took it and ran out of the door merrily.

"Slow down, don't fall," John admonished.

"Five cents in hand," said Joe to himself as he ran, and that he had saved nearly $10 now, and that since he was three years old, he had helped the family with some housework, and had taken money from John, although it was very small at a time, a few cents and a few cents, but over time, it had been almost $10.

After a short time of trotting all the way to Pamela's house, Carol's laughter was heard outside the yard.

"Carol, John told me to call you home," Joe shouted outside the yard. Soon, Carol and Pamela walked out, still holding chicken drumsticks from the only KFC in town.

"Wow, Joe is here" Pamela was very happy when she saw Joe, and she didn't care about the oil on her hand, and was about to come and pinch Joe's face. Because Joe is cute, everyone likes it. Joe escaped Pamela's clutches, but not Carol's. Carol grabbed Joe, pinched Joe's face, and pulled him to Pamela to pinch him. Ignoring Joe's resistance. "It's fun, Carol, your brother is so cute," Pamela said. While saying that, he also pinched his face, probably because Qiao usually didn't let him pinch it, but this time he got started, and he didn't want to put it down.

Seeing Joe's face being rubbed by Pamela, Carol was a little heartfelt, "You light, this is my brother" She only remembered that Joe was his younger brother now, and completely forgot how she had just cheated Joe.

"Okay" Pamela let go.

"Let's go," Carol waved at Pamela, turned around and went home with Joe, "I'll play with you next time", the action was very free. She's like that, she's very aggressive, and she bullies Joe every day.

Silently wiping the oil from his face, Joe turned around and left expressionlessly.

"Come, hand-holding" Carol held out her hand to pull Jo.

"Don't," Joe replied.

"Angry?" Carol asked

"No, I just don't want to pull"

"Okay," Carol replied, "do you want to eat chicken legs?" He shook the chicken leg in his hand at Joe.

"Where did you get the money?" Looking at Carol's deteriorating look, Joe was a little curious, because he knew that Carol had no money and often peeked into his savings.

"Well, well, Pamela asked, yes, Pamela asked me," Carol replied hesitantly, and Joe felt a little bad in his heart. Suddenly, the pace under his feet was much faster.

When he got home, Joe rushed into his room.

Looking at Joe's hurried appearance, John was a little curious, "What's wrong with him?" John asked Carroll.

"I don't know" Carol's eyes were a little evasive, "I'll go back to the room first" After speaking, he also went back to the room.

"Strange," John muttered.

As soon as he entered his room, Joe reached under the bed, where he had hidden his money.

As soon as I touched it, I felt that something was wrong, and the position of his box seemed to be passive. The uneasiness in my heart was strong again.

When I opened the box, I saw that it was full of coins and paper tickets, but the amount was very small. Joe saw that something was wrong, there was less money. I counted aside, and there were three dollars less, and what was supposed to be ten dollars was now only seven dollars. He knew that someone had taken the money, and the answer seemed to be in the chicken legs. He remembered Carroll's hesitation when he replied to his question where the money came from, and he understood something.

"Carol Danfoss !!"
