Chapter 1 The Town of Harlow

On a sunny afternoon, the small town of Harlow, not far west of Chelmsford, was as peaceful as ever.The town is not very big, and the only thing worth mentioning is the Bailey Welfare Home located in the town.Compared with the peaceful town, the orphanage is always full of the noise of children playing, and it is not too quiet even during lunch break.

"Little Connor, skipping naps all the time will affect your health. You need to pay attention!"

Mrs. Beale's rough and slightly loud voice came from the door. She was a laundry worker in this orphanage and part-time cleaner. Maybe two wages would make her life easier.

"Okay, Mrs. Beale," Connor replied, sitting on the doorstep.

"Little Connor, what's wrong with you recently? You're not as lively as before, although you were very quiet before. Is someone bullying you? I can talk to you if necessary!"

"It's okay, thank you, Mrs. Bill, I just want to think quietly recently."

"Oh, little Connor, you still love to think so much. Smart children will always be successful!"

Mrs. Beale said as she turned around to dry the clothes.

"It seems that the welfare homes in this world are not bad. At least Mrs. Bill is a warm-hearted and good person!" Connor thought quietly.Yes, Connor is one of the millions of people who have traveled through time. He has been in this world for a month.In addition to knowing that it is the summer of 1989, it is also clear that this is a Britain similar to the original Earth in the 90s.Apart from the fact that time has gone back 30 years, there seems to be no other changes, at least the current Connor can't see it.

Connor's full name is Connor Johnson, and he is an orphan in an orphanage.The orphanage records that he was born in February 1979 and is ten years old this year.As for why he became an orphan, it is unknown.Bailey Welfare Home is a small welfare institution located in a small town, hosted in Essex County. It is probably set up here to keep costs low.The only thing worthy of praise is that the staff of this orphanage are pretty good, at least they take good care of the dozen or so little guys here.There were no incidents of bullying or abuse in Connor's original memory. The children in the courtyard were all lively, cute, naughty, and more mature than ordinary children.

Every weekend, the orphanage arranges to take the children to visit the department stores in the town.Uncle Joe and Mrs. Bill usually lead the way.Uncle Joe was a janitor at an orphanage. He often leaned to the left when he walked. It was said that he injured his leg in a battle when he was young.Often when children are playing games, they will run to his right side to tease him, and he will pretend to be very angry and chase the children, while the little guys scatter like pebbles splashing on the water, running away. While laughing, Uncle Qiao chased "angry" from behind.Mrs. Anna, the dean, sometimes goes to town with everyone, but she usually goes to the post office and the town government office building.Mrs. Anna has a serious face, and even though her temper is not bad, most children still listen to her.Connor always feels that children are obedient because they can easily understand toy advertisements and classic jokes in newspapers.Mrs. Anna always had time to teach everyone how to read and read newspapers and some simple books to everyone.

Thinking of all the things he had experienced in the past month, Connor thought that maybe it was not a bad thing that God arranged for him to be an orphan here again. After all, the experience of the orphanage in his previous life was not particularly memorable.At least this time, he is in very good health. From what he learned from the children and Mrs. Bill’s chat, we know that Connor has no hidden diseases, but is quieter than other children.

They come, the security.Connor thought that it was time to make some arrangements. After all, he would still have to make a living in the future.Let’s start with a bank account. After all, you need to save money.Connor thought about it and turned around and walked to the office on the second floor of the welfare home, where Mrs. Anna worked. She probably hadn't started her lunch break at this time.

When...when...when...

"Please come in" Mrs. Anna's serious voice sounded.

"Hello, Mrs. Anna, it's Connor." Connor opened the door and stood at the door and said.

"It's you Connor, come in, what's the matter?"

"Yes, madam, I would like to discuss with you to open a personal bank account." Connor said. He knew that there must be a suitable reason, so he continued: "Madam, I am over ten years old. I'm already old. It's time to think about my future life. After all, I can't stay here forever." Connor looked at Mrs. Anna with serious eyes to show that he had thought about it seriously.

"Well..." Mrs. Anna looked at Connor for a while and said in her usual serious tone, "I'm glad you can realize this, Connor, this is good. It will help you live an independent life in the future. Although the hospital I can introduce you to jobs or adoptive families after you reach the age, but it is much better to be aware of this yourself than to be arranged. Let's do this, I will go to the government office building next Monday morning, you go with me Once in town, I will use your identification information from the hospital to open an account for you at the bank. I hope it will be helpful to you!"

"Thank you, Mrs. Anna"

"You're welcome, Connor, let's go take a lunch break now."

"Okay, ma'am," Connor said as he walked out of the office and returned to his dormitory.

Connor was lucky enough to live in a single dormitory.The dormitory is located in the former mop room in the corner of the first floor. It is a long and narrow space with a small window. There is only room for an old iron bed in the room, so there is not much room left.Connor's only few clothes were in a shabby bag under the bed, which was all his belongings.Connor's toiletries are placed on the windowsill, and on the wall next to it is a handmade painting of a windmill in a field.

Connor lay on the creaking iron bed, thinking about what he should do next, what he should pay attention to after going out with Mrs. Anna, and slowly fell asleep.

In the afternoon, in addition to participating in activities arranged by the courtyard, Connor also found many old newspapers and read current political news and community hot topics, including some product advertisements, recruitment information, etc.So that you can better understand your current situation.Generally speaking, it is the same as Britain in the previous life. The level of economic development is basically the same. Mrs. Thatcher is still so famous. People also discuss football, and so on.

At this time, Connor saw a car advertisement "Rolls-Royce Phantom 6". Connor's eyes lit up and he continued to look through all the car advertisements, and then he discovered another way to get rich.As a fake car fan, Connor knows a little bit about everything. Connor has also seen advertisements for Bentley, Land Rover, and Aston Martin.Without saying a word, Connor picked up paper and pen and began the road of creation (photography) and creation (copying).From now on, it depends on whether you eat meat or steamed buns.Thinking of this, Connor continued to draw with great energy.
