Chapter 1 Entering the courtyard
In 1965 in northern Beijing, under the scorching sun, Li Ming stood at the gate of No. 95 Nanluogu Lane, preparing to look at the east wing of the courtyard's front yard.
Li Ming is a little confused now.
A string of memories came to him. He had traveled through time. His name was still Li Ming, but he was only 18 years old this year. He was born in Qidian Orphanage. He just got his graduation certificate from a technical secondary school today and joined the Red Star Rolling Mill as a worker.
A glorious buyer. The factory arranged for him to live in this house in the courtyard.
In a blink of an eye, Li Ming has transformed from a middle-aged uncle in 2023 to a young man in 1965. It is no exaggeration to say that it has been an earth-shaking change. Li Ming twisted his thigh, it really hurt! This is not a dream!

The clerk from the logistics office of the steel rolling mill patted Li Ming on the shoulder and said, "Yes, this is it."
Li Ming came back to his senses and said sheepishly: "I'm so sorry, I just thought of something and got distracted."
The two were about to step forward when a person came out of the courtyard.
"Huh? Who are you?" Yan Bugui helped the man with glasses whose leg was tied with tape.
Li Ming almost blurted out and called him Third Uncle. He had entered the world of the Qingmansiheyuan, and he wanted to be neighbors with those people. This was too crazy!
The clerk of the Logistics Department replied: "Hello, comrade, I am from the Housing Management Section of the Logistics Department of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill. I took Comrade Li Ming, the buyer in the factory, to see the house in the front yard. The factory assigned him to live in the east wing of this yard.
”
The third uncle smiled and said: "Okay, Comrade Li Ming, welcome. My name is Yan Bugui. Thanks to the favor of the people in the courtyard, please call me third uncle. I am the mathematics teacher of Hongxing Primary School. I live in the west wing of the front yard. From now on
We are neighbors across the street from you." He was very happy, and one buyer left and another one came. In the future, the fish he caught can continue to be sold to the steel rolling mill.
Li Ming stepped forward and said hello: "Hello, third uncle. My name is Li Ming. I am the buyer of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill. You can just call me Xiao Ming. Please give me more guidance in the future."
"You can see that he is a talented person at first glance. Xiao Ming, I put some coal under the eaves of the east wing. I will clean it up after I make the briquettes in the next two days, okay?" The third uncle made a small request.
"It's okay, I won't need that place for a while."
"Thank you so much. Come in quickly. I'm also rushing to school for the next two classes." Yan Bugui said as he walked out on his bicycle.
Li Ming gave up his position and said: "Third uncle, please walk slowly."
Li Ming and the clerk entered the yard and walked to the door of the east wing of the front yard. The clerk opened the door with the key and took a step back. Li Ming glanced in and saw that the house was divided into three small rooms. Except for the floor, it was a little dirty.
, overall it was okay. The clerk gave Li Ming the key and left.
Li Ming was the only one left in the room, and he had time to figure it out. Li Ming, a buyer at the steel rolling mill, had a temporary salary of 33 yuan, and it would be 37.5 yuan when he became a regular employee. His responsibility was to purchase unplanned meat, eggs, milk and other foods.
, the basic task is 30 kilograms of meat per month. Since materials are always in short supply in the current era, being a buyer is a risky and difficult job in the mountains and countryside, which tests the buyer's ability.
Li Ming is a little lucky that it is 1965. It would have been difficult to complete the tasks in the factory a few years ago. The most difficult period has passed. He is still able to eat well or not. The farmer's market is also open, and the exchange of materials is okay. He is now
We can only take one step at a time.
The section chief asked Li Ming to go to work the day after tomorrow and settle down for the next two days, but Li Ming has no money, no tickets, and nothing except a suit of clothes. The house he was assigned was also empty, not to mention the bed, even the table.
There are no stools. Everything is lacking in food, clothing, housing and transportation. This is embarrassing! Li Ming now needs to carefully consider the current situation.
Li Ming recalled how he came into this world. He was running in the park of a small southern town, and it seemed like he had been hit by something. Thinking of this, a small bead appeared in his mind, an ordinary bead.
Small beads. He felt that there was a space inside, a small ball with a radius of 1 meter, with solid top and bottom.
Li Ming, who occasionally reads novels, suddenly thought of something and tried it immediately. The key disappeared and reappeared in his hand. It was so cool! Li Ming tried a few more times and found that only the upper hemisphere was available, and the collection distance was only 1 meter.
Small is a little too small and a little short, but it would be awesome if you have it. We are not greedy!
At this time, there was a voice coming from the yard, and the voice was a bit loud. It must have been deliberately meant for Li Ming to hear.
"Third aunt, has someone moved in in the east wing of the front yard?" The first aunt asked the third aunt standing in the middle of the yard.
The third aunt was pinching briquettes at the door of her house and said: "First aunt, I just went to the bedroom, and I don't know."
Needing to borrow a broom and rag from them, Li Ming walked out of the room that was not closed to greet them, and said with a smile: "Hello, first aunt, third aunt, hello. I am Li Ming, a buyer from the purchasing department of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill. You call me Xiao Ming.
That's good. The factory has arranged for me to live here, so I won't bother everyone a lot in the future." Li Ming didn't know these two people, but the one who made the briquettes must be the third aunt.
The eldest mother greeted her with a smile: "Then I'll call you Xiao Ming. You came alone."
The third aunt also stood up and responded, but she was busy and immediately squatted down to pinch the briquettes.
"I came here with the clerk from the factory's logistics office. He opened the door and made sure the key was OK before returning to the factory. Auntie, do you have a broom for me to use? I'll clean the room. Third Aunt, please take your time.
Come on, the third uncle told me to put this coal under my roof first."
"Xiao Ming, thank you so much. I can finish this soon." The third aunt raised her head and said.
The eldest mother said kindly: "Yes, I'm just coming back. Come on, go to my house to get it."
"Third Aunt, you're welcome." Li Ming followed the First Aunt, and the two of them walked to the middle courtyard together.
Li Ming also borrowed an extra rag, and the aunt wanted to help clean it, but Li Ming declined.
Li Ming took a broom and cleaned the room three times, five by two, and then used the space as a vacuum cleaner to clean the room again. It was clean! The third aunt took the coal to the yard to make briquettes. Li Ming helped when he had free time.
Together, she cleaned up the corridor under the eaves and even peeled off a layer of soil for the third aunt.
When he received the thanks from the third aunt, Li Ming had a feeling of enlightenment. He had harvested 4 rays of luck energy, and his small space seemed to have officially opened at this time.
In a small space, as long as there are raw materials, Li Ming can use luck energy to create things. Li Ming's original body was seriously injured when it was hit, but it was repaired and transformed by luck energy that made him intact now.
p>
Li Ming may have exhausted the luck energy in the small space when he traveled to this world. After he replenishes the luck energy in the small space, it may still have many functions.
After returning to the room with random thoughts, Li Ming touched the key. He seemed to have searched the key again and felt that there was no energy. The small space still has the ability to detect, and it is only one meter away for the time being.
Li Ming checked around the room and found a reaction on a floor tile. Li Ming tapped a few times with his fingers, and the solid sound was the same. The hollow words had been discovered by the previous person.
Li Ming went out again to borrow a shovel from the third aunt and closed the door. Li Ming first put the stone slab into the space, revealing a layer of subsoil. Most people would not be able to find anything unusual. He used the shovel to dig out a deep layer of soil before digging out a small log.
Inside the box are two jade bracelets, two jade pendants, and a silver hairpin. They are not like family treasures, but are the private collection of someone in the family.
