"well!"
"well!"
"well!"
"You little bastard, why are you sighing and groaning so late at night and not sleeping?" At this time, an angry voice came from the next room.
Li Xu was startled when he heard the sound and said quickly, "It's nothing, it's just that I can't sleep because of the heat. Dad, you should go to bed as well, it's getting late."
"If you can't sleep, just close your eyes. If you keep sighing and waking your brother, you'll get yourself into trouble." After that, there was no more sound from the outer room.
Li Xu was relieved when he heard no more sounds from the next room. He then turned over again and thought about his own affairs.
"Tell me, how did I travel through time? How did I travel through time?" Li Xu thought to himself. He was originally from the 21st century, but for some reason he woke up from his sleep because of hunger. When he opened his eyes, he found it was still dark, and some memories that did not belong to him appeared in his mind. The only similarity was that he was also called Li Xu after traveling through time.
After sorting out my memories and thinking about my current surroundings, I couldn't sleep any more. Even if I'm not well-educated, I've at least learned about this period from history books. So I sighed constantly earlier, but I didn't expect these houses to be so soundproof. A few sighs were heard by the neighbors.
But the most important thing at the moment was to find a way to fill his stomach. Everything else was perfectly safe for him, considering his family background as a poor peasant for three generations. As he thought about it, he fell asleep unknowingly.
"Xiao Xu, get up and eat!" Li Xu heard another loud shout in a daze. He startled and immediately sat up. He looked at the bed next to him and found that his younger brother who lived in the same room with him was gone. He packed up according to his memory and went to the main room. He saw that there were already several people sitting in the room.
Sitting in the innermost are father Li Jiakang, 37 years old, and mother Sun Xiu, 36 years old. Then on the left is eldest brother Li Ping, 20 years old, and eldest sister-in-law Hu Guilan, 20 years old. They just got married this year. On the right is eldest sister Li Mei, 17 years old, who is in her third year of high school, and youngest sister Li Ju, 6 years old. The little figure with his back to the door is the fourth child in the family and his younger brother Li Chen, who is 10 years old and in elementary school.
Li Xu greeted everyone and sat down. Sun Xiu served him a bowl of breakfast. These days, every household has to manage their meals carefully, or else they'll be left with nothing to eat by the end of the month. Li Xu's family was relatively well-off, with three workers, all of whom had urban hukou.
At first glance, Li Xu couldn't quite tell what was in the bowl. It looked like porridge, but you could almost see your reflection in it. It looked like water, but there were still some grains of rice in it. Li Xu thought, wow! I'd never eaten anything like this in my past life. But there was no other way. The three workers in the family needed more food, and for someone like Li Xu, who hadn't graduated from junior high school, couldn't get into high school, and had nothing to do, this was all he could do.
However, based on my memory, it was already very difficult to get food. If my family hadn't all been registered as city residents and hadn't been given a ration of food, I really don't know how they would have survived in the countryside. Li Xu was also very hungry. He drank a bowl of porridge in a few mouthfuls, then poured himself another bowl and gulped it down. Only then did he feel something in his stomach. When he filled his third bowl, he began to drink slowly. As he drank, he looked at his family and found that they were all thin, with sallow complexions, and looked malnourished.
While eating, Li Xu was thinking about how to get some food to feed his family. He thought about it all night long but still had no idea. The most important thing was that there was a large-scale food shortage. Even if he had money, he couldn't buy food because no one was selling it.
After dinner, my father Li Jiakang, mother Sun Xiu, and elder brother Li Ping all went to work, and took my younger brother to the factory-run primary school. My eldest sister-in-law cleaned up the dishes and went to the kitchen. My eldest sister also went to school. I was the only one left, taking my younger sister to the yard to watch her play.
Li Xu pulled a stool and sat in the yard, wondering how the child, so skinny and small, who usually didn't eat enough, could have so much energy to play. As he watched, his mind wandered. He couldn't figure out how he had traveled through time. He had never heard of traveling through time while sleeping at home. Was there some system, a farming space, or something like that? Otherwise, how could he have traveled to this point inexplicably?
After Hu Guilan finished cleaning the house and came out to look after the children, Li Xu returned to his room.
"Farming space, farming space." Li Xu thought to himself, could it be that the way it was opened was wrong? Why was there no movement?
"Hello, is the system here? Is the system here?" Li Xu began to quietly call out another golden finger that is commonly seen in novels.
"Ding, the system is turned on."
"Oh my god." The sudden voice in his mind scared Li Xu so much that he trembled.
"Good fellow, there really is one. Tell me, were you the one who brought me to this era? Tell me the truth."
"Ding, do you want to sign in daily?"
"Speak up, answer my question." Li Xu's face was very grim. He didn't want to live in this era of lack of food and clothing, where even one had to be very careful with their words. Besides, he still had family and friends in his previous life.
"Should I sign in daily?" This sentence kept repeating in his mind. No matter how Li Xu asked, there was no answer.
"MD, it turns out to be an artificial idiot. Sign in, sign in." Li Xu didn't know what to say. He could only make the best of it. At least from his memory, this family was still very harmonious.
"Ding, congratulations on getting 5 kilograms of rice. Do you want to withdraw it?"
"Not bad, I can actually sign in and go out to eat." Li Xu's brows immediately lit up with joy. Since he couldn't go back, the most important thing in this era was to make himself and his family live a good life, especially food, which was the foundation of a happy life.
"No, no, I'll keep it with you first." This time Li Xu was muttering to himself, otherwise he would be regarded as a lunatic if he spoke like this in the future. Besides, there was no suitable explanation for the source of these kilograms of rice, so he could only keep it for now.
After studying the system for a while, Li Xu discovered that the system also had a small storage space where some items could be stored. Although the space was not large, it was still a storage place.
This made Li Xu quite excited. With this space, he could implement some of his plans in the future.
Li Xu left his room with a smile on his face, said hello to Hu Guilan, and said he was going out to ask his friends if any factories were hiring. This reason was very practical. Nowadays, factories only recruit workers with some educational requirements and professional skills, and the rest are basically known to the insiders.
