Chapter 1 The Carpenter's Son

Some people say that history is a long river, and people who are in the long river cannot change its flow in any way.

So some people imagine that when future humans drive space-time machines back to the past, they can change history by changing certain key events.

Some people also deduce that future people cannot change the past no matter what. If a person really "returns to the past" and kills his grandmother before his grandmother is pregnant, will this time traveler still exist? This is the famous "grandmother paradox"!

All of this is no longer an assumption, but a fact. He has returned to the past and is reincarnated and reborn.

He can no longer change his own past, but the future is still not fixed. What he can change is his future, not the past.

The memories of the past surround him like a dream. Only reality is true and he lives in the present.

"Alex! Get up and have breakfast!"

Alex, who was sleeping, was suddenly woken up. He dreamed of the past again, which seemed like a distant dream. When he fell asleep, it was so real, but it became blurred after waking up. Memories were like tides rising and falling. When he woke up, the sea of ​​memory gradually retreated, revealing a beach composed of countless consciousnesses.

With the urging, he opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was a pretty face, big eyes, and long golden hair. This was Angel, his biological mother for the rest of his life.

"Get up, baby! Your breakfast is ready."

Angel reached out and rubbed Alex's hair, which was blonde, inherited from her.

From the outside, Alex has beautiful eyebrows, fair skin, and dark blonde hair. If he hadn't been wearing boy's clothes, others would have thought he was a girl.

"Yeah, OK! Mom!"

Alex blinked, sat up, put on his clothes, washed his face and rinsed his mouth.

He has been in this world for more than three years, which is different from the wonderful life he imagined after rebirth. In the past three years, his life has been dull and regular. Since he was able to walk by himself, he no longer relies on his parents' support and can wear clothes, eat, bathe, and go to the bathroom by himself like an independent person.

This made his parents much easier, at least they didn’t have to worry about taking care of other children. Alex’s independence was reflected at a very young age, and at the beginning, it surprised his parents, and after a long time, he didn’t feel anything strange.

The newborn Alex consciously trains his body and becomes familiar with the life after birth as soon as possible. It is said that babies are not self-aware when they are just born. They will only make various reactions based on changes in the external environment.

As an infant, Alex knew how to crawl around, exercise his muscles in his arms and legs, and also exercise his hand-eye coordination ability. This made him grow stronger and faster than other children, and he was able to stand up and run around before he was 1 year old. At the same time, under Alex's guidance, his parents read books, sang, and trained the development of five sense organs such as listening and vision.

He did this for a reason. According to scientists' investigations, the conversation and interaction between parents or other people and babies will produce a lot of stimulation. After being stimulated, babies will make various movements and expressions, and babies who have more contact with the outside world will grow faster than other babies. Human consciousness is gradually born, and before the age of three, it is a critical period for the growth of human self-consciousness.

Although Alex did not understand this principle, he knew this conclusion. From the beginning of his birth, he had already consciously observed the outside world, touched and touched. He grew up much faster than an ordinary child, and could walk early and run quickly.

In the eyes of his parents, Alex is a sensible child. He has never made any noise or make trouble since he was a child, and he does not have to spend a lot of energy to take care of him. No matter what he does, just teach him, Alex will know how to do it himself. Even some things that he does not need to teach his parents, he understands. In addition, the scene when Alex was born, they are very fond of this son.

His father, Bertramcarpenter, was born in China on November 8, 1908. He spent some time in China and grew up and returned to the United States with his parents. He was an American of Jewish descent, with dark brown hair, tall figure and a serious face.

After returning to the United States, Bart met Angel, a blonde beauty born in Baltemo. Angel was seven or eight years younger than Bart. When they met, she was still a teenage girl. After seven years of long-distance love, they got married on April 9, 1935.

Carpenter means "carpenter", but Bart is not a carpenter. He is an automobile worker, the standard American blue-collar class. Originally, Bart worked in Detroit City, and after 1940, he moved to Chicago City with the company.

Chicago is located in the Midwest of the United States, belonging to Illinois and is adjacent to Lake Michigan in the east. It is the third largest city in the United States after New York City and Los Angeles.

Chicago is located in the heart of the North American continent and is the most important railway and aviation hub in the United States. Chicago is also one of the most important financial, cultural, manufacturing, futures and commodity trading centers in the United States. It has gradually become one of the metropolis with significant influence in the world.

In addition, Chicago is a multi-ethnic city. Early immigrants included Irish, Swedes, Poles, Italians, Germans and Chinese. Among them, blacks have the largest proportion, followed by whites.

In the 1940s and 1950s, Chicago City was developing rapidly. The Carpenters happened to take advantage of the city's development. They quickly bought a house in the suburbs of the city and settled down here from now on.

The settled Carpenters were ready to start raising the next generation, and they soon became pregnant with their first child.

On March 30, 1942, Alex Carpenter was born, a boy. At first, he stopped breathing and was cold all over, and was sentenced to death by the doctor.

Unexpectedly, a soul from the future world was resurrected to this body due to unknown power.

He is reborn! Live!

Resurrection is rare in hospitals, but it has not been encountered before. Many patients are rescued after being determined to be dead by doctors, and many doctors are used to it. For the Carpenters, this is a big event. In connection with the religious beliefs of Westerners, Jesus’ resurrection from the dead cast a mysterious color on Alex.

In the eyes of mother Angel, son Alex is as important as that Jesus. She firmly believes that one day her son will become a world-renowned figure, and God has a purpose to let Alex come back.

Angel's ancestors came from the Nordic continent and were Aryans in Germany. She was tall, fair-skinned, with long golden hair. She believed in Catholicism and was very pious to God.

Whenever she eats, she always leads her whole family to pray: "God, please bless us and the food we enjoy, and we also give you everything we reward you. Thank you. Amen!"

She was very concerned about Alex's education. As long as Alex is interested in things, she would always try her best to get it for him. She tried to discover Alex's talent and constantly taught Alex various knowledge. Alex had never disappointed her. As long as Angel taught her, Alex would be able to fully master it.

After being reborn, Alex did not find that he had any so-called time traveler benefits. He was just healthier and stronger than ordinary children, and he had a particularly good memory and could remember anything by just reading it.

In this new family, Alex's favorite thing is Angel. As a rebirth, he felt the maternal love he once had in Angel. At first, he felt a little weird and was not adapted to his new identity. Gradually, he got used to that people are the product of the environment. When the environment is changed, people will also change accordingly.

As for his father Bart, he spent a lot less time on Alex. Usually, Bart had to go to the factory to work, and when he came back, he would be addicted to the music he liked. Bart liked to listen to music with beautiful tunes and collected a large number of records.

Whenever Bart was playing music, Alex also listened. He came to this era of poor information and could only enjoy it in this way. He missed that there were too many ways of entertainment at that time when the Internet occupied people's lives.

Alex missed his past life a little, but he couldn't go back to it. He could only change his current situation. He listened to many records, read a lot of books and newspapers. In the eyes of his parents, his performance was the behavior of intelligent children. They liked this son more and more and often met the various conditions proposed by Alex.
