His head was pounding, his throat was dry, and the hangover made Lu Feng want to vomit.

But an empty stomach has nothing left to vomit up.

He opened his eyes, as if he had exhausted all his strength. His vision was of a small hut, and he was lying on a wooden plank bed. The surrounding environment was very old and gave off a musty smell.

"Where is this?"

No one answered him. Not far away, there was a red bucket. Lu Feng propped himself up and stood in front of the bucket, scooping up half a ladle of cold water and gulping it down.

Finally, I feel comfortable. Lu Feng raised his head and looked at himself in the mirror, dumbfounded.

In the mirror was a messy-haired man in his twenties, wearing a safety helmet camouflage top and ragged trousers. His face was gaunt, as if suffering from chronic malnutrition.

Lu Feng's hands were trembling slightly, he touched his own face, feeling how real it was!

"Who is this? This isn't me!"

A sharp pain surged through his brain, overwhelming his fragile defenses. He sank to his knees before the bucket, gasping for breath, fragments of a hazy memory flickering in front of him.

Lu Feng, 24 years old, with a primary school education, has been married for four years. He has a wife named Jiang Xiaoyan and a child. He is unemployed and has been idle since childhood. He often fights, gambles, and frequently beats his wife...

"No!"

These memories made Lu Feng's head muddled, mixing with his own. He was also Lu Feng, thirty-five years old, a graduate student from a key university, the chairman of two listed companies, with a valuation of over 2.7 billion in 2020. He had just been named one of the top ten outstanding young talents and was unmarried.

Lu Feng was organizing his memories when he suddenly raised his head and looked at the calendar on the wall. He froze as if struck by lightning.

The date on the calendar card was: June 14, 1989, Thursday.

Two hours later, Lu Feng finally digested the memories in his mind. It was a tragic story from the 1980s. Lu Feng and Jiang Xiaoyan knew each other through an arranged meeting. Because Lu Feng dropped out of school when he was young and didn't learn any skills, his life source was very unstable.

Jiang Xiaoyan refused to share a room with Lu Feng, wanting to use this to get rid of him, and proposed going to the city to work.

Unexpectedly, Lu Feng made a group of friends as soon as he started working at the factory. He learned everything from drinking, gambling, and women. After being fired, he spent his days drinking and would beat his wife whenever something didn't go his way.

Such a Lu Feng made Jiang Xiaoyan even more unwilling to give herself to him. However, some elders said that having a child would be enough, men all work hard for their children.

Months later, Jiang Xiaoyan adopted a half-year-old boy. However, Lu Feng remained unchanged. Jiang Xiaoyan considered divorce, but in this era, divorce was something no one dared to think about.

Yesterday Lu Feng came home after drinking and beat someone up. He then went to bed and fell asleep.

Unexpectedly, this nap transported Lu Feng to the late 1980s.

A sound of a door opening broke through Lu Feng's memories. He raised his head and looked towards the door.

The door swung open, and a little girl with pigtails ran inside. When she saw Lu Feng kneeling in front of the bucket, her smile vanished instantly, replaced by fear as if she had seen a devil.

"Mom, he's awake!"

The little boy hugged a slender, tall girl. Looking up from the ground, she was a pretty young lady. She stood at 1.7 meters, graceful and elegant. Her features were exquisite, and her bright eyes sparkled.

She has such a pure and youthful energy, she could definitely outshine all the internet influencers years later.

But the depth of fear in his eyes and the bruises on his face ruined it all.

Their eyes met, and Lu Feng felt a little awkward. He slowly raised his hand and greeted them: "Hello!"

Jiang Xiaoyan had never heard her husband speak so softly. She stood there for a moment, lowering her head and saying, "You are? I'll go cook."

"Thank you!" Lu Feng said.

Jiang Xiaoyan thought her ears were malfunctioning. She widened her eyes and stared at him, incredulously asking, "What did you say?"

I said thank you.

"Jiang Xiaoyan smiled, but there was a hint of tragedy in her eyes. She said, “Don’t worry about it, next time you hit me, just go easy on me.”

Lu Feng really wanted to say, yesterday's fight wasn't him. But he thought if he said it, no one would believe him. He himself wasn't even sure if he was dreaming.

Although Jiang Xiaoyan is only twenty-three years old, she is very nimble in the kitchen. Looking at the things in the kitchen, she sighed. Even a skilled cook can't make a meal without rice and flour; there's only one pack of noodles and two eggs left at home.

This household relies on two jobs to make ends meet. They had managed to save over a hundred yuan, but Lu Feng took it all and put it on the gambling table. Now this home is truly bare and destitute.

Lu Feng drank another half dipper of cold water, recovering some strength. He sat back on the bed and looked at this little fellow. If he remembered correctly, it was Dodo.

"Duo Duo, come here!"

The little boy took a fearful step back, clutching his worn-out rag doll to his chest.

Lu Feng sighed, feeling a bit helpless. In his eyes, he might even be scarier than the devil himself. He could only say that Lu Feng's original death was a fortunate thing.

"Duo Duo, help Mommy get the bowls and chopsticks." Jiang Xiao Yan's voice came from the kitchen, very cheerful.

If this home were without Lu Feng, it would surely be even more warm and cozy.

Duo Duo dashed to the kitchen and took out three pairs of chopsticks and a dish of salted vegetables. Jiang Xiao Yan brought out three large bowls and placed them on the old table.

White water boiled noodles, each bowl with a streak of green vegetables, only Lu Feng's bowl had two poached eggs, looking so eye-catching.

This is a household rule: no matter how delicious the food is, it has to be placed in Lu Feng's bowl. Otherwise, he will definitely turn his bowl upside down on Jiang Xiao Yan's head.

"Let's eat!" Jiang Xiaoyan sat across from Lu Feng, not even glancing at him. She smiled at Dodo and said, "You're growing so fast, hurry up and eat!"

This meal was definitely the worst Lu Feng has ever eaten in his life.

Jiang Xiaoyan noticed Lu Feng wasn't using his chopsticks and spoke up: "There's no soy sauce at home, don't get angry, just make do with it. If you want something better, you can go find your buddies."

"Okay." Lu Feng picked up his chopsticks and put the poached egg from his bowl into Dodo's.

Duo Duo stared wide-eyed at the egg in her bowl, then at Jiang Xiaoyan, unable to bring herself to pick up her chopsticks.

Lu Feng put another egg into Jiang Xiaoyan's bowl.

Jiang Xiaoyan felt that Lu Feng was unusually strange today. From the moment he walked in, he was completely different from before. The only thing she could think of was that Lu Feng needed money again.

"There's really no money left at home, and I can't advance my wages. If this continues, DuoDuo and I will truly die." Jiang Xiaoyan's voice was filled with pleading.

Fearful, afraid of incurring another beating from Lu Feng, she spoke with tears welling up in her eyes, each one plopping into the bowl.

"Mommy, don't cry, Mommy, don't cry!" Duo Duo quickly wiped Jiang Xiao Yan's tears.

"I... I didn't say I wanted money." Lu Feng was most afraid of people crying. At that moment, he was at a loss and didn't know what to do. He hurriedly said, "I'm not working now, you go to work every day,多多 is getting bigger and bigger, I'll give the two of you eggs to eat."

To hear such caring words from Lu Feng, Jiang Xiaoyan felt her worldview had been overturned. She looked up at Lu Feng with a face full of disbelief.

This person, he, turned?
