Chapter 1 – Rebirth to 1988
“Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, get up. It’s 12 am soon. Get up and eat dumplings.”
Feng Yu felt the voice is a little unfamiliar, but feel very affectionate. He mumbled a reply and opened his eyes, but saw a young face only exists in memory.
“Sister?”
“You are awake now. Hurry up and wash your face. I told you not to drink, yet you insist on drinking. You missed the Spring Festival Night show.” Feng Danying said with a smile.
Spring Festival night? Is today Lunar New Year’s Eve?
Feng Yu, feeling confused, looked around. An old room, less than six square meters, a single bed, patched bedding, an old wooden table, overhead is a 20-watt incandescent lamp, distributed With dim light, old newspapers on the walls, all of which are national events that he can’t remember.
Isn’t this the old farmhouse from his childhood days? But this house had long been demolished with the development of the towns, and how did my sister become so young?
Feng Yu raised his hand, only to find that this is definitely not joking because his hands became smaller, and his arms became thinner.
He hurriedly jumped out of bed and stand by the door frame. The doorframe had knife markings recording his height every year on Lunar New Year’s eve. The highest marking indicates 1988, 166 cm.
Now is 1988? He has yet to graduate from junior high school?
He pinched himself and almost called out due to the pain. This is not a dream?
Feng Yu opened the door, his mother is cooking dumplings with the kitchen pan. He lived in a small house. The kitchen is just outside of his room, and on the other side of the kitchen is the living room. The living room is also called central room on the farm.
“You are up? Do you still want to drink in future?” Zhang Muhua looks affectionately at his son.
Feng Yu looked at his, still dark-haired, mother with teary eyes.
“Mom, you had worked hard.”
“What are you talking about. Hurry, go wash your face and go watch TV. The dumplings will be ready soon.” Zhang Muhua, after hearing what Feng Yu said, is very pleased. This shows that her son had grown up.
When Feng Yu saw his father sitting on the bench in the living room, his lips trembled. In the future, when he could make money, his father was detected with end-stage brain cancer and passed away within three months.
Due to his father’s passing, Feng Yu was upset for several years.
“Dad.”
Feng Xingtai turned and looked at his son: “Oh, you are up. Still feeling giddy? Come… watch TV. It’s a traditional folk dance.”
“Not giddy anymore. The kick from the alcohol had passed. Dad, I would like to drink with you later.” Seeing his father’s angry expression, Feng Yu quickly explained, “Beer will do.”
In his lifetime, Feng Yu had only drunk with his father a few times. Now Feng Yu has a strong desire which is to drink with his father again.
“Still have not learned your lesson? Fine. Then drink more. See if you can wake up tomorrow for New Year’s Day visiting! Danying, go get two bottles of beer.”
Feng Danying helplessly shook her head and went to get the beer and glasses.
There is also a single bed in the living room with bedding. Feng Danying went to a boarding school and only come back during the holidays. When she is back, she will sleep with her mother. This bed is for Feng Xingtai. But three years ago, it belongs to Feng Yu.
In the Living room, the west wall is a three-door vertical wardrobe, and above the closet is two luggage. On a solid wooden table, stood a 14-inch black-and-white TV set, which was showing on the Spring Festival Night program.
In the middle of the living room stood a folding round table filled with dishes and tableware. A total of eight dishes, but all are the leftovers from dinner. There’s chicken, fish, pork trotters, etc. A total of eight meat dishes.
Feng Yu did not watch TV but went to the front of the wardrobe to look at himself in the mirror. Although the lighting is not very good, Feng Yu can see himself clearly. He is only a teenager with a little stubbed beneath his nose.
He looked at the wall calendar at the door, February 16, 1988, New Year’s Eve.
He can now be sure that he is born again!
Mother quickly cooked dumplings, Feng Yu, and Feng Danying went to the kitchen to help bring out the dumplings. After all four people were seated, Feng Xingtai picked up chopsticks.
“Xiaoyu, you are going to drink again?!” Zhang Muhua stared Feng Yu.
“Mom, it’s New Year, let me drink more.”
Feng Xingtai also put in a few words for him. Zhang Muhua shook her head. Feng Yu also diligently poured beer for his mother and sister. One family must have a drink together.
“Dad, Mom, sister, Happy New year, cheers!”
Feng Yu casually ate the leftovers on the table, which he felt very delicious. During this time, there are no growth hormones, unlike in the future. All fishes, rabbits, are wild-caught. Chicken and pigs are their own. The father and son ate these dishes and the dumplings. Feng Xingtai only allows each one to have only one beer.
After dinner, Feng Yu washed up and to his room to lie down. When lying in bed, he was tossing and turning. He thinks back on his previous life before traveling back in time.
Feng Yu Ben was a middle-aged man in his forties. After resigning from the securities company, he made some investments. He invested in Stock, futures, gold, crude oil. Although he is not too successful, his income is still not bad.
He had a wife and no children. Because his father died early, his mother lived with him.
He remembered that it was the spring of 2015. To bring his wife to go abroad to treat infertility, he wanted to make some money.
He used all his savings, mortgaged his house and car, and borrowed a considerable sum of money, and invested into the stock market. According to his prediction, it is a bull market, and even fools can make money.
In the beginning, the situation is excellent. His investment doubled in a short time. But he wanted to profit more. So, he boldly uses high leverage with an investment company. If his investments doubled again, he can do nothing the rest of his life and still be able to live comfortably.
When the stock market rose to 5000, he was greedy like many other people. He thought the stock market would continue to rise. The stock market did grow a bit. However, the stock market soon dived, and because he used high leverage and had no additional funds, he had a significant loss. After paying the borrowed money, he is as poor as a church mouse. His wife does not know that the house and the car had been mortgaged, and he did not know how to face his family when he goes home.
He is bankrupted. On that very day, he drank a lot and “accidentally” fell on to the road in front of many people and was hit by a big truck.
This way, it should not be considered as suicide. The accident insurance policy he bought would pay out millions. It should be enough to redeem the house and car and also leave a sum of money for his mother and wife.
He remembered when he looked at the big truck speeding towards him, he thought that if God could give him a chance to return, he would not want to die so cowardly again. He wants his family to live a comfortable life!
But he did not think that God would actually give him a chance to come back again!
Since God let him come back, he will not relive his past life regrets this time. He wants to become rich, he wants to become a legend in the investment world!
Thinking about this, Feng Yu could not help but shouted: “I, Feng Yu, had come back !!!”
“Xiaoyu, stop shouting and quickly go to bed.” Zhang Muhua shouted from the other side of the wall. At the same time complain about her husband. How can he let his son drink at night again?
Hearing his mother complains, Feng Yu smiled and turned over to sleep.
