Li Xuewu frowned and stared at the ceiling blankly.
From time to time, there would be the sound of charging horns, shouts and the sound of artillery shells.
He tilted his head and glanced at the calendar on the wall.
Friday, November 15, 1965.
If I remember correctly, I should tear out another page.
That is Saturday, November 16, 1965.
Still not used to not having a mobile phone to remind me of the date and time, I felt lonely with my right hand on the pillow.
Although it is only November, it has already snowed twice in Beijing, making it very cold.
I heard an old man say that this era is colder than later generations.
Li Xuewu listened to the cold wind blowing and the "whining" sound coming from the cracks in the window, and cherished the little warmth in the quilt.
It wasn't that Li Xuewu didn't want to get up, it was actually that Li Xuewu was kidnapped by the quilt.
Li Xuewu looked at the still dark sky outside the window and couldn't tell what time it was.
I don’t know how long I slept since I got off the train, but the kang is still shaking like a train.
Li Xuewu knew that he was used to the rhythm of the train and needed to adapt to it for a day or two.
Li Xuewu is no longer as confused as he was when he just crossed over. Memory is like raindrops on the eaves, bit by bit in his mind, slowly recalling the past of this body.
It has been more than two months since I traveled back to this world. This is the first morning after I changed my job and returned home. I spent most of the two months in the hospital bed.
The original owner of this body is also named Li Xuewu. He is nineteen years old. He joined the army in 1962 and served somewhere in the southwest.
Li Xuewu himself knew that the original Li Xuewu disappeared at that time.
Only a scar was left on his face.
I came from time travel and worked alone in a state-owned enterprise in middle age. I am a mediocre old bastard who can play everything but is not good at it.
Fortunately, the memory part of this body carries the fusion, and some of it was told to him by his comrades.
Li Xuewu realized that he seemed to be in the plot of hatred and yearning.
Considering that Li Xuewu's condition was not suitable for him to continue serving, the army sought Li Xuewu's opinion and arranged a small award ceremony and demobilization ceremony.
Li Xuewu returned home from the army, carrying his luggage and his hometown information, and found his home in Beijing.
Because it was already night when we got home, we didn’t talk much. We ate some rice porridge and then lay down to sleep.
He originally lived in a large courtyard near Nanluogu Lane in Beijing. There were three houses with a total area of more than 60 square meters, and Li Xuewu's family of nine lived there.
Li Xuewu glanced at the house. It was originally a wing room in a courtyard, divided into three rooms. The east and west rooms in the north were each equipped with two kangs. In the east, Li's father, mother, and younger sister lived, and in the west was Li Xuewu.
Grandma Xuewu, the third brother, and Grandpa Liu, the father of Li's mother, lived there. Li Xuewu suddenly came home and squeezed grandma into the east kang.
The middle room is used for the living room, dining room and kitchen. The south room was originally the room of Li Xuewen and Li Xuewu, and is now lived by the eldest brother Li Xuewen and his wife.
Last night, Mother Li was very nagging when she saw her second son come home unexpectedly for the first time.
Li Xuewu's father, Li Shun, said with a cold face: "It's useless, take a rest early and arrange work tomorrow."
Li Xuewu also has a general understanding of his current family.
His father, Li Shun, is 40 years old and is a doctor at the Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. He entered the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital in 1954 when he was offering medicine and prescriptions. He supports his family with a salary of 79.5 for the fourth grade and 12th grade.
Li's mother, Liu Yin, has no job and stays at home doing housework and taking care of the elderly.
I learned from Li's mother that a lot of things happened this year. Li's mother also nagged Li Xuewu about why he didn't tell his family when something happened in the army.
In the middle of this year, Li Xuewen, the eldest brother of the Li family, graduated from university and stayed at the school to teach as a physics teacher. He has already started to receive salary. At the same time, he married his classmate Zhao Yafang. Zhao Yafang also stayed at the school to teach as a mathematics teacher this year.
When her eldest brother Xuewen and his wife were mentioned, Mother Li's pride and joy were beyond words.
Father Li also raised his head slightly.
The third younger brother, Li Xuecai, was also very successful this year and was admitted to the medical university. This made Li's father very happy. The stubborn father Li showed a happy expression for the first time.
Gein has three sons. The eldest is obsessed with learning and has no interest in medicine. The second is a troublemaker and hurts countless people. He can no longer save people. Although the third is also naughty, he is successful and has been admitted to medical school. He can be regarded as a family heir of medicine.
.
My younger sister, Li Xue, is in the second grade of high school this year. She is also the top student in the class and excels in studies. Mother Li is extremely proud of her.
No wonder Mother Li was proud. Who could afford to support four students these days, two of whom were already college graduates, and one who was a quasi-college student.
Even the most unlucky second child graduated from high school.
What's more, the eldest daughter-in-law who entered the family this year is also a college student, and the couple are both university teachers. When people see her, they always praise Mrs. Li's ability.
It greatly restored Li Xuewu's ruined family reputation.
In July this year, I received a letter from my hometown that my mother had passed away. Mother Li took her family home for the funeral. She could only shed tears when she saw her old father alone.
Li Shun had neglected the family affairs since his marriage, so he left it to Liu Yin, who gave birth to four children, served his old mother, and managed the family in an orderly manner.
Li Shun didn't know where his salary was spent and whether there was a surplus, but even if it was not enough, his wife never complained.
My father-in-law is going to be taken to his home in the city.
When Liu's father saw Li Shun talking, he said he would not go. There was no way he could go to his son-in-law's home to take care of himself. It would make his daughter look bad.
It wasn't until he saw Li Shun's resolute attitude that Xue Wen and Xue Cai walked out the door and agreed to follow his daughter and son-in-law to the city.
Liu's father is a carpenter in the village. During this move, Li Shun took a large cart of carpenter's tools home.
Father Liu planned in his heart that as long as he could move his legs, he would not burden his daughter and son-in-law.
The Li family lived in a wing in the front yard of the courtyard.
It was a special situation that Li Xuewu needed to be transferred from the army due to injury, and he was a combat hero. He was trusted by the army and should be properly resettled. The street coordinated with the Armed Forces Department to arrange for Li Xuewu to work in the factory.
Li Xuewu raised his hand and touched the scar on his face, and looked at the room he was in again in the dim light.
There were yellowed old newspapers on the roof, speckled gray stains on the walls, and the glass in the windows was also small and gray.
Between the two beds is a cabinet. On the cabinet are a small clock, a mirror, and several bottles and jars. They should not be Chinese medicine. Father Li's medicinal materials and books are all in the south room.
The south room only has a kang on the east side, and a few cabinets and a desk against the wall on the west side.
The middle room is close to the south room and has a stove, so the kang in Xuewen's house is used for heating when cooking. The two kangs in the north house are both heated by door stoves.
There is an Eight Immortals table in the middle of the main room, a eucalyptus cabinet against the wall, and a sewing machine in the corner.
Li Xuewu really couldn't sleep, and his third brother Xuecai was wrapped in quilt and snoring.
Liu's father, Li Xuewu, is called grandpa, and everyone in the family calls him grandma.
The eldest grandma had a light sleep and must have woken up by now. She coughed twice and got up to get dressed.
Li Xuewu looked at the increasingly bright windows, and finally overcame the constraints of the quilt. He stood up, put on his cotton-padded clothes, and followed his grandma down the kang.
