In June 1950, in Sijiucheng, the drizzle wet the ancient city. The muddy roads in Sijiucheng could not stop the people's enthusiasm for building the new China. Although materials were scarce in this era, the people were willing to do it. Everyone strived to be advanced, to be a model worker, and to contribute their meager strength to the construction of the new country.

Li Tianyi is 11 years old this year, but he has already graduated from primary school. He has just taken the junior high school entrance examination and was admitted to Jiaodaokou Middle School with the first place in the grade.

Li Tianyi's parents are still alive. He is the eldest in the family. He has a younger brother, Li Tianhu, and a younger sister, Li Wenjing. His younger brother is 5 years old and his younger sister is 2 years old. Li Tianyi's father, Li Youde, works in Lou's Steel Rolling Mill as an intermediate fitter with a monthly salary of 50 yuan. His mother, Zhang Guifen, works in the canteen of Lou's Steel Rolling Mill with a monthly salary of 30 yuan ( yuan here is equal to yuan of the second set of RMB).

Li's father rented two western wing rooms in the front yard of a courtyard near the steel mill. On the eve of liberation, Li's father and mother used all their savings to buy the house they were renting now plus two side rooms next to it. Li's father later converted one of the side rooms into Li Tianyi's bedroom, and the other was used as a kitchen.

The reason why Li Tianyi graduated from elementary school at such a young age was that when he was five years old, he recovered his memories of his past life. Only then did he realize that he was reborn into a TV series he had watched in his previous life, which talked about the neighborhood life in a courtyard house, although he felt that the TV series was a bit weird at that time.

When he recovered his memory, the third uncle Yan Bugui from the front yard had not moved in yet, and someone else was living in that house. The Jia, He and Yi families from the middle yard had all arrived, as well as the deaf old lady and the Liu family from the backyard. As for the bad seed Xu Damao from the courtyard, he was still a little kid. He was two years older than Li Tianyi and two years younger than He Yuzhu, also known as Shazhu.

Several children often played together, but He Yuzhu and Xu Damao had not gotten along since childhood and often fought, which sometimes alarmed their parents. At this time, Yi Zhonghai would come out to mediate, while Jia Zhang would bring her son Jia Dongxu to watch the fun.

At this time, Jia Zhang had not yet lost her husband, and Old Jia also worked at the Lou's Steel Rolling Mill. Basically all the men in this yard worked there.

In his previous life, Li Tianyi was a city library administrator. He died while rescuing a child in a fire. He was reincarnated into this era, but somehow he recovered his memory when he was five years old.

After Li Tianyi regained his memory, he had two golden fingers. One was the library where he worked in his previous life. All the books in the library were imprinted in his mind. As long as he wanted to learn about that knowledge, his mind would be like a search engine that would display all the books on that subject in Li Tianyi's mind for Li Tianyi to read. Moreover, in this life, he also had the gift of photographic memory.

The other golden finger is a space that is 10 meters long, wide and high. The space can preserve food, but no living things can be placed in it. Li Tianyi can enter, but no other living things can.

After Li Tianyi recovered his memory, he begged his parents to send him to school. At that time, his younger brother had just been born and his parents had to go to work. They could not take care of two children at the same time, so they could only send the five-year-old Tianyi to school.

Li's father and mother never expected that their eldest son was a genius. He has been the top student in the school since the first grade, and his grades have never declined until he graduated from elementary school. For this reason, Li Tianyi became the child of other families in the yard. Sha Zhu was okay. After he graduated from elementary school, he was sent to Huibinlou by He Daqing to learn Sichuan cuisine. However, Xu Damao was often compared with Li Tianyi by his father, Lao Xu. Li Tianyi and Xu Damao are in the same class and both graduated from elementary school this year. Xu Damao was also admitted to middle school through his father's relationship.

Today, both parents went to work. Li Tianyi was reading a book at home while looking after his younger brother and sister. Because it was raining outside, Li Tianhu was detained at home by Li Tianyi. The younger sister Li Wenjing was only two years old and was very cute. While Li Tianyi was reading a book, she was scribbling on the paper next to her with a pencil. Li Tianhu, on the other hand, was moving left and right as if there were nails on his butt.

Li Tianyi didn't care about him, as long as he didn't run out in the rain. In this era of hunger, Li Tianyi didn't worry at all. Before our army entered Sijiu City in 49, he took advantage of his small body and sneaked into the granary of the Nationalist Party and put the grain in the space. Then he went to several foreign bank branches in Sijiu City and took all the gold and foreign currency from these banks. This is also one of the unsolved cases in Sijiu City, which has not been solved so far.

The farthest distance his space can collect is 500 meters. As long as it is within 500 meters, he can collect anything he sees with his eyes. For this reason, his space is almost full now. Although there has been consumption in the past two years, he cannot take out food blatantly and can only secretly put the food into the grain bag. His parents have never found out, but this way the consumption is less.

Just when Li Tianyi was lost in thought, his little sister called him in a baby voice: "Brother, I'm hungry."

Li Tianyi put down the book and hugged his little sister. "Jingjing, you are hungry. I will make lunch for you later."

"Thank you, brother." She said and kissed Li Tianyi.

Li Tianyi used his head to support his younger sister, who dodged and giggled. His younger brother Li Tianhu also started to complain that he was hungry. Li Tianyi put his younger sister down and asked Li Tianhu to watch her while he went out to make lunch.

As soon as I walked out of the room, I saw a middle-aged man with glasses standing at the gate. This was the third uncle Yan Bugui. They had just moved in not long ago, but Yan's reputation as a stingy man had spread throughout the alley.

"Teacher Yan, what are you doing?"

"It's Tianyi, where are you going?" Yan Bugui turned around and saw that it was Li Tianyi, and asked.

"My brother and sister are hungry, I'm going to make lunch."

"Oh, then go ahead. I'll stand here for a while."

Li Tianyi nodded and walked into the kitchen. Actually, in Li Tianyi's opinion, this was all because of poverty. There were six people in Yan Bugui's family, and they were all supported by Yan Fugui's salary. Yan Bugui's wife, Aunt Yang, sometimes took odd jobs to supplement the family income. In the difficult times, no child starved to death. Later, she bought a bicycle. Although it was second-hand, it was the first bicycle in the courtyard. Later, she bought a TV. This showed that Yan Bugui was frugal, but he was too frugal and exhausted the children's affection.

Li Tianyi took out cornmeal from the space, steamed the buns, and then fried some green vegetables and pork, and added a pot of cornmeal porridge. Soon the meal was ready, and Li Tianyi asked his brother to wash his hands, while he held his little sister to wash her dirty hands.
