Chapter 5
Xu Di got off the bus and entered the machinery factory’s staff quarters.
Beijing Hongxing Machinery Factory is a large factory with tens of thousands of employees and complete supporting facilities.
The factory hospital, the factory primary school, the junior high school, the high school, the bathhouse, the cinema... let's put it this way, it has all the facilities that should be there in the 1970s and 1980s.
"Xu Di is back. I heard from your mother that you were hospitalized to save someone. How are you? Are you feeling better?"
"Grandma Wang, I'm fine now. Look, I'm alive and kicking."
Xu Di has memories of this old woman in his mind. She was the neighbor downstairs from the Xu family.
Xu's father is an old employee of the machinery factory, and Xu's mother and elder brother are also employees of the machinery factory.
When the houses were distributed a few years ago, the Xu family was fortunate to get a large house with three bedrooms, a living room and a bathroom.
The people who live here are all factory leaders and technical workers like Mr. Xu, who are level eight fitters and level eight lathe operators...
"That's good. Don't be so reckless next time. Saving people is important, but your own life is important too. If something really happens, your parents will be so sad."
Grandma Wang is a family member of a military martyr. Her son died, and she is deeply touched.
"Got it, Grandma Wang, I'll be more careful next time, and don't think too much about it."
Xu Di waved her hand and climbed upstairs. Her home was on the third floor.
Grandma Wang listened to Xu Di's footsteps coming up the stairs and knew that the child was fine. She likes the girl from the Xu family very much. She is hardworking and has a good heart.
Xu Di took out the key, opened the door and went in.
The wooden sofa in the living room, the peony tea tray on the coffee table, the chest of drawers by the wall, the radio on the chest of drawers, and the photo frames on the wall, with one-inch and two-inch black-and-white photos in them...
All of this made Xu Di realize that she had really arrived in the 1970s, and the things that appeared in these TV dramas really appeared before her eyes.
There are three bedrooms, one of which is for Mr. and Mrs. Xu. One room is for Brother Xu and his family of three, and the remaining one is the largest, which is divided into two rooms. Xu Di and her sister share a room, and her younger brother Xu Jun shares another.
Xu Di pushed open the door of her room, and the first thing that caught her eye was two single beds and a desk placed between the beds.
Xu Di's sister Xu Mei went to the countryside, but her bed and her things were still in their original places in the room.
The room is not very big. It has two single beds, a desk and a small wardrobe.
Maybe it was because he was home, Xu Di felt a little tired. The clothes I changed into were new when I was discharged from the hospital, and I also simply washed my body in the hospital.
Lying on the simple single bed, with a pillow with small floral patterns as his head, Xu Di was not sleepy, but he could not fall asleep, so he closed his eyes and rested.
I thought about the period novels I had read before, trying to see if there was anything I could learn from them.
In many novels, the heroine has a golden finger.
What kind of space is this? A supermarket, well water for beauty and skin care, a farm with automatic planting and harvesting, a ranch, a super large kitchen, and some old house that you can travel through together...
Does she have these essential software for time travel?
Otherwise, based on her IQ, it would not have been easy for her to live comfortably in the 1970s.
In her previous life, she graduated from high school and had no other skills except knowing how to operate a sewing machine.
Private transactions are not allowed at this time. That is speculation and you will be arrested.
But if she wants to live comfortably, she needs money and material things, both of which she currently has.
Xu Di couldn't fall asleep even though he was lying there. He tried to think about whether his original body had any old items such as bracelets, rings, necklaces, pendants, etc. Aren't most spaces created in this way?
I almost racked my brains, but I couldn't think of anything in my original body that could be used as a space.
Since there is no object, then look for it on the body to see if there is any plum blossom-shaped birthmark, red mole, and whether the Lotus Jade Girl must be lotus-shaped.
Xu Di sat up suddenly and looked at his arm, wrist, and even fingers, but there was nothing.
He then took out a small round mirror, not even as big as a palm, from the drawer of the bedside desk.
Looking at himself in the mirror with great effort, he found that there was no mole between his eyebrows, which allowed Xu Di to see the original owner's appearance clearly.
In the 1970s, the type of women most favored by husbands-in-law were those with round faces, plump and sturdy bodies, and those who looked like they were good at giving birth.
But the original owner had an oval face, willow-shaped eyebrows that curved slightly downward, almond-shaped eyes, and a smiling face. Her overall appearance was good. She’s not a stunning beauty, but she can score above 80 points.
Yes, she is much better looking than in her previous life. Her skin is of normal color, not glowing white, but her face is full of collagen for sure. After all, she is only seventeen years old.
I've gone off topic and haven't found anything iconic yet.
There is none on the face, and the neck is also clean, without even a mole.
The collarbone is good, the figure is neither fat nor thin, and the vaguely visible collarbone looks quite good.
I buttoned up my shirt and checked my whole body, but I couldn't find any signs that looked like space.
Could it be that God made her travel through time and space, and just threw her here without giving her any benefits?
After going through thirteen moves, I was sweating.
Xu Di sat up and took off his socks.
Oh no!
What Xu Di saw was a faint lotus-shaped pattern on the sole of the original owner's foot, but it was not obvious.
If her feet didn't feel itchy, she wouldn't notice if she scratched them a couple of times.
After all, no one would look at their feet for no reason.
Xu Di calmed down and gently traced the pattern on the sole of his foot with his hands, silently chanting in his heart, go in, go in...
Whoosh, Xu Di really entered a strange place.
There was a space as big as a school football field and black soil that looked fertile, but there was nothing else.
Spiritual springs, spiritual pets, lotus flowers dripping with dew... none of the space descriptions I had seen before were included.
Xu Di sat on the black soil in a daze, and a scene appeared in his mind.
The Lotus Fairy reclaimed a piece of wasteland in a corner of the Ninth Heaven Palace and planned to grow vegetables. She firmly believed that if lotus could grow in the Ninth Heaven, vegetables could also grow in it.
After great effort, I dug out a small piece of land one meter square, and my hands were shaking with tiredness. That's why he accidentally broke the glass cup while on duty.
When she was punished to go down to the mortal world to experience trials and tribulations, the Lotus Fairy also sealed this small piece of land in the soles of her feet. Unfortunately, her original body never awakened her past life memories, and this small space was never activated.
Now, this is a good deal for her.
Because the last mark of the Ninth Heaven left in her mind was this space left for her.
As a human being, we must learn to be content. It is always better to have something than nothing.
Xu Di muttered to herself and went out, then she returned to bed. As for how much time had just passed, Xu Di didn't have a watch and couldn't calculate it.
After trying it several times and making sure that she could enter and exit freely and take and put things wherever she wanted, Xu Di felt relieved.
In this strange world, Xu Di felt much more at ease with such a life-saving space.
Xu Di has no idea whether he can use the space to do something in the future. At most, I can grow some grains and vegetables, some off-season vegetables, earn a little money, and buy two small courtyards while the housing prices are low, to prepare for my future retirement.
She had no idea when housing prices in Beijing started to rise, but it must have been after the millennium.
At that time, she was almost sixty years old. If you are in good health, you can still enjoy yourself for a few more years.
Xu Di fell asleep in a daze, and slept soundly. He didn’t have any dreams, no matter about past life or this life!
