Chapter 1

Su He felt extremely uncomfortable all over, as if he were completely submerged in water.

He struggled forcefully but could not break free.

Suffocation!

Unable to breathe in oxygen, his chest felt heavy, and his entire body was in pain.

"What's happening to me?"

This thought circled in Su He's mind, but he grasped nothing.

"Duo Duo! Duo Duo!"

A little girl on the shore was so anxious that she was about to cry, but her cries had no effect.

Su He vaguely heard a familiar voice, and a series of images rapidly flashed through his mind.

There was a review of his life, from his childhood in the countryside to his later struggles in the city.

From being a worthless farmer to becoming the chief engineer of a machinery company, Su He had experienced so much.

There were also many unfamiliar memories!

This was also a child from the countryside, who had never had enough to eat or wear.

This child was also named Su He, and he had always been a good student, very smart.

Because his family was not well-off, he had to earn money to go to school.

Fortunately, this Su He was quick-witted, and with his excellent slingshot skills, he earned quite a bit of money.

Besides supporting his own education, he even bought a calf!

The scene ended there.

This young man named Su He had just ended his life a short while ago.

He failed the high school entrance exam and was not admitted!

But he wasn't really trying to commit suicide; he was just feeling depressed and came to the river to walk around.

Seeing the wild lotus roots in the river, this young man named Su He wanted to dig some to sell in town.

Besides wanting to repeat a year, he also wanted to earn some money for his family.

But for some reason, he, who had never had cramps before, had a cramp that day!

It seems I've received someone else's memories?

But even if I have, what does it matter? I'm about to die again!

Why again? Could it be that I've traveled through time?

Dying on the first day of my arrival, this time traveler is truly "lucky"!

I must be the unluckiest time traveler!

As this thought arose, Su He felt something lift him up.

Then, he emerged from the water, coughing violently.

What's happening to me?

Su He was a bit dazed, and the sun was making him uncomfortable. He didn't react for a while.

On the shore, the little girl's cries reached him!

Slap!

The pain in his hand woke Su He up. He looked down and saw a fish flapping its tail in his hand.

He realized that his fingers had actually pierced through the fish's gills.

What is this?

A benefit of time travel?

Looking around, the environment was extremely unfamiliar.

Moreover, it was a very backward place.

Not far away, there was a village, but to Su He, it was incredibly backward!

All the houses were made of mud bricks, not a single brick or tile house!

Many of the houses were even thatched!

Then a lot of information flooded his mind!

Su He swayed, but fortunately, this information had already circled in his mind once, and he was just reviewing it again.

But even so, Su He smiled bitterly and then started laughing!

"Ha ha ha!"

His laughter frightened the little girl!

"Duo Duo!" She wanted to call him "big brother," but because she was young, she couldn't speak clearly, so "big brother" became "Duo Duo"!

Su He turned around and saw the little girl's anxious eyes.

He calmed his excitement. Being able to be reborn once, having a healthy body, what could be better than this?

As for being sent back to this backward time and place, what's the problem?

With a healthy body, and with his knowledge and experience, isn't it easy to make money?

Moo!

A cow's moo came from under his buttocks!

Su He lowered his head and saw his savior, the black star cow!

This black star was not the first cow he bought, but the child of that cow!

As for the first cow, it was sold by his mother, Ye Chuanxiu, at the cattle market.

Because his second sister was sick and needed money urgently.

In addition, his eldest sister was getting engaged and needed a dowry.

Su He smiled bitterly. The black star seemed to understand human nature and could understand Su He's words. It turned around and swam toward the river!

At this moment, Su He's vision went dark again, and he almost fell into the river.

Before his eyes, he saw the place where he lived in his previous life, the large warehouse he had bought with a lot of money!

But soon, Su He recovered, and the black star was already on the shore.

Su He got down, picked up the girl, and comforted her, "Little Pumpkin, what's wrong?"

Little Pumpkin was the girl's nickname, not her real name.

When naming her, Ye Chuanxiu saw a bowl of pumpkin on the table and named her casually.

In the countryside, giving children lowly names was believed to make them easier to raise.

There were many such names, like "Second Dog" or "Third Donkey."

After comforting her for a while, Little Pumpkin stopped crying and looked at Su He, saying, "Duo Duo, I thought you jumped into the water!"

"Jumping into the water" means suicide. In the past, there were people who committed suicide in this river.

Su He was both amused and exasperated. The original Su He was depressed, but he didn't want to commit suicide.

But he didn't know how to explain this.

The fish in his hand jumped, and Su He was startled, his eyes lighting up!

Su He said, "No, I went to catch fish for you!"

Little Pumpkin opened her big eyes and said, "Really?"

Su He smiled and nodded, "Of course, look what I have!"

Little Pumpkin saw the fish in Su He's hand and immediately jumped down, laughing.

It was a carp, about two pounds.

At this time, it was a rare delicacy.

"1979!" Su He smiled bitterly. The time he was reborn was too early.

At this time, the country had just opened up and reformed, and resources were extremely scarce. Making money was difficult.

Every household grew crops, but they didn't earn much money.

Like Su He's family, the grain they received each year wasn't enough for the family to eat, let alone sell to send them to school!

As for going to school, it was really difficult.

Otherwise, why would Su He have to earn money to study?

"Let's go back!" Su He said to Little Pumpkin.

Little Pumpkin happily said, "I want to ride the cow!"

Su He didn't have any younger siblings in his previous life, and he loved his sister very much. Besides, Little Pumpkin was only three years old, very cute, and very affectionate.

"Black Star, take my sister back!" Su He lowered his head and said to Black Star.

This was just an ordinary water buffalo, but for some reason, it was very intelligent.

Of course, it only listened to Su He.

For some reason, Su He was really good with these small animals.

He put Little Pumpkin on Black Star's back, then pulled some grass, threaded it through the fish's gills, and said to Black Star, "Let's go!"

Black Star automatically followed, without needing to be led by the rope.
