Jiang Shushu took the comb with both hands and said, "I understand. Thank you, Judge, for reminding me."
"The time has come, go in, and I wish you a happy and smooth life in the future." He can also take good care of the unlucky people.
"Thank you, Judge. I wish you all the best! Goodbye." Jiang Shushu then walked into the passage without looking back. Jiang Shushu preferred being a human to being an animal. Although the beginning was a bit difficult, Jiang Shushu was confident he could find a smooth path, so there was no reason to hesitate.
The passage was the same as what it looked like from the outside, colorful and flashing, very beautiful. Jiang Shushu held the wooden comb tightly, and suddenly his eyes went dark and he knew nothing.
When Jiang Shushu opened her eyes again, she found herself lying in bed. She didn't dare move, let alone scream, not even to stir. She rolled her eyes, quickly scanning the room. First, she saw the beams and the dark tiled roof, followed by the adobe walls. The floor was a yellow, uneven dirt. The room contained only a wardrobe, a desk (on which were daily necessities and books), and a bed. It couldn't have been simpler. Seeing this typical environment of the era, Jiang Shushu knew she had successfully traveled through time. She was probably now in the 1960s, the parallel world the judge had mentioned.
Jiang Shushu sat up gently after making sure that no one was in the room. Jiang Shushu found that she did not have the original owner's memory and had not yet thought of a way to deal with it, so she did not dare to make any noise for fear of attracting people. As soon as Jiang Shushu sat up, before she could think of anything, she found that a ball of white light floated out from her chest, which scared Jiang Shushu. Jiang Shushu took a closer look and found that it was the wooden comb given to her by the judge, and at this moment, the wooden comb was emitting a faint light.
The wooden comb slowly rose, and Jiang Shushu's eyes followed the wooden comb, causing Jiang Shushu's head to tilt back. Jiang Shushu watched the wooden comb stay on top of his head, and then a beam of light shot straight down, surrounding Jiang Shushu.
Jiang Shushu was wondering what the comb was doing when suddenly a memory of a person from childhood to adulthood appeared in his mind. Jiang Shushu guessed that the comb was transmitting the original owner's memories to him. After Jiang Shushu received the memories, the comb turned into stars and disappeared into thin air.
Jiang Shushu opened the desk drawer according to his memory and found a small mirror inside. He picked it up and looked at the face. It was exactly the same as the one he had just remembered. A small round oval face, very pretty and lovely girl, with delicate features. She was just a little darker and thinner. If she were a little whiter and a little fatter, she would definitely be a beauty.
Jiang Shushu put the small mirror back into the drawer, sat back on the bed, and recalled his previous memories again so that he could have a clearer idea of what was going on.
The current country is called Dragon Country, and the time is 1968. Jiang Shushu knows from memory that although the national leaders and the world map are different, the prices and trends there are very similar to those in his own country in the 1960s. A bowl of noodles with meat costs 10 cents now, and the country is also experiencing the "Sent-Down Youth Movement"...
The original owner was also called Jiang Shushu, 18 years old this year, and had just graduated from high school. Because he had no connections and no money to buy a job, he had to return to the village to rely on his parents after graduation.
The original owner's family was also very simple, with father Jiang He (58 years old), mother Xu Hehua (56 years old), and an older brother Jiang Mingli (28 years old). After Jiang Mingli got married, he lived with his wife and children near his mother-in-law's house. Now he doesn't bring them back once a year, so now the Jiang family only has the original owner and her elderly parents.
Jiang Shushu sorted out the relationships in his family over and over again, and finally understood why the judge asked him to come and take care of the two elderly people, because the original owner and his brother Jiang Mingli were really good-for-nothings, and it was really a case of good bamboo bringing out bad bamboo shoots.
When Jiang He was young, he joined the army to defend his country. He was injured at the age of 25 and was discharged back to Jiangjia Village. At the age of 26, he married Xu Hehua, a widow. The couple had a good relationship, but Xu Hehua had not been pregnant for many years. It was not until Jiang He was 30 that Xu Hehua became pregnant. At the end of the year, she gave birth to a boy, named Jiang Mingli.
In those days, having a child at 30 was considered old age. So Jiang He and his wife loved Jiang Mingli very much. If they had a delicious meal, they would rather starve themselves than leave it for Jiang Mingli. If they could do the housework themselves, they would definitely do it themselves and would never ask Jiang Mingli to do it. It can be said that among all the boys in Jiangjia Village, Jiang Mingli's childhood was definitely the happiest one.
When Jiang Mingli was ten years old, Xu Hehua found out that she was pregnant again. Jiang He and his wife were very happy because it was so hard for them to have a child. Later, Xu Hehua gave birth to the original owner and named her Jiang Shushu.
Jiang He and his wife do not favor boys over girls and love both children equally.
After graduating from junior high school at the age of 17, Jiang Mingli said he was unwilling to go to high school and insisted on joining the army. Jiang He had no choice but to agree and asked his nephew Jiang Mingwu, who was also in the same unit, to take good care of him.
Jiang Mingli did not have a very high talent for being a soldier. After five years, he only became a squad leader.
Later, Jiang Mingli made a girlfriend, Shen Feng, from the provincial capital. With the help of his future father-in-law Shen Zhong and his second cousin Jiang Mingwu, Jiang Mingli successfully stayed in the provincial capital and became the deputy captain of security in the provincial machinery factory.
When Jiang Mingli was in the army, Jiang He and his wife were afraid that he would not have enough to eat outside, so they never asked for his allowance. They always let him keep it for himself, and Jiang Mingli kept it for himself. Later, when Jiang Mingli got married, because Shen Feng's family was well-off, Jiang He and his wife did not want to let Shen Feng down or make Jiang Mingli look bad, so they only left 50 yuan for Jiang Shushu to use for his studies and gave the other 300 yuan to Jiang Mingli so that he could marry Shen Feng in style.
Unfortunately, Jiang He and his wife's sincerity was in vain. Jiang Mingli thought it was natural and took it immediately when her parents gave it to her without even a word of refusal. It was so natural for her to accept the money. However, Chen Feng felt it was too little and thought that Jiang He and his wife looked down on her.
After Jiang Mingli got married, he lived near his father-in-law's house and only came back for a few days during the Chinese New Year. Chen Feng only came back with Jiang Mingli during the first year. The rest of the time, she either had something to do or was not feeling well. In short, she would not return to Jiangjia Village.
Two years ago, Jiang Mingli came back to take Xu Hehua to help look after the children. Xu Hehua went happily, but within three months, she fell ill from exhaustion. Chen Feng wanted Xu Hehua's help, but she also looked down on her. Seeing that Xu Hehua was easy to talk to, she was always secretly looking for trouble. She left all the housework, including babysitting, to Xu Hehua, and she herself did not touch it.
