Chapter 1 I was reborn, but in the wrong era!

The chill of early spring has not yet dissipated in the capital, and in the hall in front of the train station, people are coming and going in a hurry.

Most of them were wearing blue or grass green military uniforms, with military green cross-body bags slung around their waists, badges of great men on their chests, and they were walking in a hurry.

There are various banners hanging on both sides of the station, and the large banners have various slogans written on them.

The endless stream of bicycles and tricycles on the streets, ringing their bells, showcases the style of this era.

This is the Capital Railway Station in 1977.

Li Changhe, carrying an old Shanghai-style large travel bag, slowly walked out of Yanjing Station, looking at the scenery that was forty years ago and completely different from the future.

Yes, forty years ago!
Li Changhe is reborn!

From being a post-90s in the previous life, I have become a post-50s in this life!
To be honest, Li Changhe was confused when he first woke up.

Rebirth is a good thing, but if you are reborn in the wrong era, then it is not a good thing.

He still has a good memory of things that happened after 1977, but now it is . What should he do?
In an era of great change, opportunities are everywhere, but the problem is that he has no personal experience.

Li Changhe can only say that he has some understanding of this era.

Because in his previous life he was an online writer, he liked to read period novels, and he even wrote a few books himself, earning hundreds of thousands of dollars. He also did a lot of research and had some understanding of the general trend of the future.

As for how much he can use, Li Changhe is hard to say now. After all, the protagonist of the novel has a golden finger, but he has no system and no plug-in now.

Fortunately, rebirth is not without its benefits.

Li Changhe was reborn as an educated youth who went to the countryside. When repairing a reservoir in winter, he was enthusiastic about saving people and fell into a ravine. His previous incarnation died, so he came.

Because of this, when he first came through, he was not conscious and his behavior was different from before, so the doctor diagnosed him with a mental disorder.

Upon seeing this, the local commune thought that Li Changhe was mentally ill. In addition, he had been working in the countryside for five years and met all the conditions for retirement due to illness.

In order to avoid responsibility and to compensate Li Changhe, he arranged for Li Changhe to retire due to illness, allowing him to return to the city successfully.

Li Changhe finally got the opportunity to return to the city, which many educated youth dreamed of.

So after waking up, Li Changhe didn't say anything more and remained silent until his injuries were completely healed and then he took the bus back.

In addition to this, another thing that made Li Changhe particularly satisfied was his birth in this life.

Apart from anything else, Li Changhe is now over 1.8 meters tall, which can be clearly seen in this era. His living conditions were good before, otherwise he would not have become the main force in reservoir construction.

"Hey, man, have you just arrived in our capital? How about you get in the car and I'll take you to find a place?"

Just as Li Changhe was sighing, a three-wheeled rickshaw had already arrived in front of Li Changhe. The driver spoke authentic Beijing dialect and wanted to take over Li Changhe's job.

"Okay, how much is it to No. 5 Zhongguancun South Street?"

Li Changhe asked gently.

Nowadays, human-powered tricycles are equivalent to taxis in later generations. Some are used to transport people, while others are used to transport goods.

"Hey, judging from your accent, you are from Yanjing. You are an educated youth returning to the city!"

"Well, we are men, and I won't ask you for more. I'll just take one dollar from you. Is that okay?"

(The rickshaw driver's price recorded in the Yanjing Geography in 1987 is calculated based on distance. A single person is 50 cents within the Second Ring Road, and a single person is one dollar within the Third Ring Road. The price for two people and freight is almost doubled. The protagonist is actually outside the Third Ring Road, so he got a quote of one dollar.)
After saying that, he immediately added: "It's not that I'm asking for a high price. From here to Zhongguancun, it's out of the city, more than 30 miles away. One dollar from you is really not much!"

There were no so-called ring roads these days, but generally speaking, leaving the Second Ring Road was equivalent to leaving Yanjing City, and Zhongguancun extended to the northwest corner of the Third Ring Road.

"Brother, what you said makes sense, but look at me, a poor educated youth, how can I afford a dollar? Okay, I'd better take the subway!"

After saying that, he didn't argue any more with the driver and walked towards the subway ticket office next to him.

That’s right, a subway was opened in Beijing in 1977, which was the future Metro Line .

Subway fare: 1 cent!

At that time, Metro Line 1 was only more than ten kilometers long, running east-west from Yanjing Station to Lixin Station. Lixin Station was the future Gongzhufen Station.

The final stop, Xinzhan, is only five or six kilometers away from Zhongguancun, and it is cheaper to take a tricycle from there.

With the letter of introduction in his hand, Li Changhe bought a ten-cent subway ticket and walked into the subway station of that era.

There were not many people in the subway car at this time. The seats were arranged in rows, similar to bus seats, but wider, larger, and cleaner. Li Changhe found a seat at random and sat down, then quietly waited for the subway to start.

After leaving Lixin Station, he found another rickshaw driver, who only asked for 20 cents this time.

Well, I spent a total of 30 cents when I got home. Compared with one dollar, I made a net profit of 70 cents, which is a big profit!
No. 5, Zhongguancun South Street, is the destination of Li Changhe’s trip. Of course, it also has another name, the faculty and staff family housing of Yenching Institute of Technology.

Li Changhe's father was originally an associate professor at Yenching Institute of Technology. Now that he has resumed work, he is naturally still assigned here.

Well, in the future this school will be renamed Yenching University of Technology.

However, what Li Changhe didn't expect was that he couldn't get in.

He was stopped by the school security department.

"Comrade, I really am going home. Look, this is my letter of introduction. My home address is inside. How could I lie to you?"

Li Changhe held the letter of introduction and explained to the security personnel standing guard at the door with some helplessness.

The other party's attitude was not bad, but they just refused to let me in.

"Comrade, I have read your letter of introduction, but to be honest, your address is from the past."

"It's not that I don't want you to come in, but the personnel have changed so much over the years."

"How about you ask a family member to come pick you up?"

The security guard spoke tactfully, but his meaning was very clear. Who knows if your family members have returned now?

"Well, my father is Li Lishan. You security department must have their office phone number. Give him a call and explain the situation. He can come and testify."

Li Changhe thought about it and gave a suggestion.

I don’t know if there is a phone at home now, and even if there is, he doesn’t know the number.

After much thought, the person I can contact the fastest is my father, Li Lishan. But I don’t know if he is doing scientific research now and whether I can be contacted.

"Young man, you just said that you are Li Lishan's son?"

At this moment, a question suddenly came from the side.

Li Changhe turned around and saw that the person asking him was a middle-aged woman who seemed to have just walked to the door. She looked a little old, about fifty years old, not tall, and wearing glasses.

The most important thing is that she was not wearing the regular military green or blue business suit, but a gray women's long coat, which was a bit like a windbreaker, but the style was more regular.

He wore a white shirt underneath, and the fabric of the shirt was obviously different from the one worn by Li Changhe and the others.

In this era, it has a prominent name: Dacron.

"Yes, Auntie, I am Li Lishan's son, and I just came back from the educated youth camp."

"You, know my father?"

"Wait here, I'll call Yuxiu to come and take a look!"

"Just look at him."

The woman did not directly answer Li Changhe's words. She said something to the security personnel and then walked in.

Shen Yuxiu is the name of Li Changhe's mother.

The other party obviously knew Li Changhe's parents.

After the other party walked away, Li Changhe asked the security officer curiously, "Comrade, I'm curious, who is that?"

"Oh, that's Professor Zhu's wife from our school, Doctor Liu."

"Doctor Liu? Professor Zhu?"

Li Changhe recalled and felt that he had no memory of this family in his mind!
However, the memories from later generations suddenly reminded him.

Yenching University of Science and Technology, professor, doctor.

It can't be such a coincidence, right?
