Chapter 2 A New Beginning



In 1969, in Shanqiao Village, in the southern part of the eastern border of Longguo.

In mid-June, the sun was very strong, even around four in the afternoon.

In the room, a young man was lying quietly on the bed, and a six-year-old child was shaking him, trying to wake him up.

"Dad, Dad, what's wrong with you? Get up quickly." The child was a little scared, so there was a hint of crying in his voice when he spoke, and his two little hands were shaking the man sleeping in the bed hard.

I have to say that although this method is stupid, it is indeed very effective. Gu Ranzhou was indeed woken up by him using this method.

Although Gu Ranzhou had woken up, his entire body ached, and he couldn't muster much strength. He had no idea what was happening to him. He just stared at the child in front of him, wondering who he was and why he was calling him "Dad." God knew he had been single for over twenty years and was still a virgin, yet the moment he opened his eyes, he was suddenly a father. What was going on?

"Stop shaking An An. You've already woken me up. If you continue, I'll get dizzy again." Gu Ranzhou said this subconsciously without thinking.

"Dad, is An An hungry?"

Gu Ranzhou tried to get up from the bed, but he simply didn't have the strength to do so. The slightest movement made him feel pain all over his body. It was most likely a muscle strain. He sighed softly and had to explain, "Hey An An, Daddy has a headache and I can't move my whole body. Wait for a moment and let Daddy take a break."

"Okay." Little An An agreed and sat by the bed waiting for his father to get up.

After a while, Gu Ranzhou gathered some strength and slowly propped himself up and sat up.

"Dad, you're up. Does your head still hurt?"

"It's okay. An An, are you hungry? Let's take An An to eat now." Gu Ranzhou gently rubbed little An An's head.

"Dad, you slept for a long time today. I was afraid that you would be like mom and dad and not be able to wake up." Little An An wiped her tears with some fear.

"Dad was just too tired from work today. Don't worry, An'an, he won't be like that again." Gu Ranzhou led little An'an to the kitchen with a distressed look on his face. On the table were two side dishes, one vegetarian and one meat, and a bowl of white rice for each person. While this wasn't considered great food in Gu Ranzhou's opinion, being able to eat such a meal in that era meant one was considered wealthy. After all, in those days, people mostly ate sweet potato porridge and the like. White rice was rarely eaten on a regular basis, not even during Chinese New Year.

After Gu Ranzhou took Xiao An to eat, he took him to take a bath. Time passed quickly and it was 5 o'clock in a flash. There were no entertainment activities at this time. In addition, Gu Ranzhou was reluctant to get up, so he took Xiao An to bed early.

"An An, can we go to bed early today?" Gu Ranzhou said softly and gently, holding little An An in his arms to comfort her.

"Okay, I know Dad is tired, let's go to sleep." Little An An was very sensible and told his dad to go to sleep.

After Xiao Anan fell asleep, Gu Ranzhou slowly opened his eyes and saw a figure at the head of the bed.

"Sir." The soul was quite polite.

"Do you have any obsessions? Is it for Xiao An'an?" Gu Ranzhou didn't feel that he had occupied the other person's body. After all, when he accepted this body, the other person seemed to have been exhausted.

"Yes, I... was born at the wrong time. When I returned home, my elder brother was gone. After he left, I started working recklessly until I was exhausted. I knew I was dead, but I was worried about my little nephew. But now that I see how well the master treats An An, I feel relieved." Gu Ranzhou said sadly.

"Since you are gone, it's time for you to reincarnate. Staying in the human world for too long will disrupt your karma, which is not a good thing."

"Indeed, An An will trouble you sir." Gu Ranzhou bowed solemnly to Gu Ranzhou.

"Wait a minute, I don't want to owe others anything." After saying this, Gu Ranzhou took a strand of merit from his body and gave it to 'Gu Ranzhou'.

You have to know how hard it is to acquire merit, especially for those who possess great merit. Life is like a cheat. Those in their profession, let alone this life, even in the past, know that merit is a thing with only benefits and no drawbacks. Now, to be able to gift merit to others so easily is something only Gu Ranzhou could do. Even a single strand would be enough to ensure Gu Ranzhou a life of wealth, happiness, and freedom from worry in his next life.

'Gu Ranzhou' was stunned for a moment but didn't say anything. He had learned a lot during his time studying abroad, so he was not an ignorant person. So he quickly understood the character of the person in front of him and didn't refuse. Then he slowly disappeared.

Gu Ranzhou: "May you be rich and healthy in your next life, free from the sufferings of this world!"

In an instant, Gu Ranzhou felt a splitting headache. It was unknown how long it took before Gu Ranzhou slowly came to his senses. It turned out that he was no longer in the original world.

The current time and space is an imaginary era, similar to the 1960s, when people were short of food and clothing and supplies were scarce.

It is now the late 1960s and approaching the 1970s, and the owner of this body is also called Gu Ranzhou, who has a close relationship with him. Both his parents are dead, and he has an older brother who is about ten years older than him. He was raised by his brother since he was a child. A year ago, his brother and sister-in-law were in a car accident.

Speaking of car accidents, it stands to reason that cars were not to be seen in the 1960s and 1970s, especially in remote areas. Most cars were in the city and would never appear here. But this couple happened to run into a spy when they were out, and there was no need to explain what happened afterwards. The people in the village were not very clear about it, but they just heard from the police in the town that they had a car accident, and nothing else was said.
