Chapter 2 Lingquan Space is Here
Li Jiayi hurried into the house, took out his schoolbag and water bottle, and then ran to the sink to wash his hands.

When I came back from washing my hands, my mother had already prepared the meal. The meal was simple, with steamed corn bread as the staple food.

As for the dishes, there was one fried pepper, one fried eggplant, and a plate of pickles.

"Hey! Mom, what day is today? Why is there egg custard?" The second sister asked, pointing to a small bowl of egg custard on the table.

"Girl, today is your and your brother's tenth birthday." Mom Ye Xin said as she tapped my second sister on the head with chopsticks.

"Ah! Today is my and Jiayi's birthday! I forgot about it." The second sister rubbed her head and said.

In fact, Li Jiayi is not his biological son, and it can even be said that he is not from this era.

That’s right, he traveled through time from the 21st century, and similarly, he had the same name in his previous life.

Who would believe that he came into this world because of a pee.

In his previous life, Li Jiayi worked as a screwdriver in an electronics factory and did not become a supervisor until he was 31 years old.

It was also at this time that he confessed his love to a girl, who agreed to be his girlfriend. He was so happy that he called a few colleagues out for a drink.

Men are like this. When I am not drunk, I belong to this world. After drinking, the world belongs to me.

A few people drank too much and started peeing directly on the green belt on the side of the road, trying to see who could pee farther.

Li Jiayi was unlucky as he hit the lamppost on the green belt. He didn't know whether the wires were not connected properly or there was a leakage of electricity.

Anyway, he came into this world as soon as his eyes went dark, and traveled through time and space to become a baby.

None of this matters. What matters is that he was abandoned and was picked up by Li Aimin and Ye Xin, a couple who had just given birth and were returning home from the health center.

That was 1948, but no one could help you find your biological parents, so the couple had no choice but to take Li Jiayi home.

It just so happened that Ye Xin had just given birth to twins. In fact, Li Jiayi is one day younger than her second sister Li Jialin.

Tomorrow is his actual birthday. As for why he was named Li Jiayi, isn’t it just adding a number?

"Hurry up and eat, both of you!" said Mom Ye Xin as she pushed the egg custard in front of the two of them.

"Mom, since it's my birthday, it would be better if we eat together." Li Jiayi said.

"No, there are only two eggs, you two can eat them."

At this time, the eldest sister Li Jiaqi consciously picked up a steamed bun and started eating it with fried eggplant.

Ye Xin picked up the only white flour bun and handed it to Li Jiayi.

Although they are called white flour steamed buns, they are not actually white. There is no way around it because they are made with the eight-sided flour that is unique to that era.

As the name suggests, Bayi Mian noodles means that 100 kilograms of wheat can produce 81 kilograms of flour. How can it be compared with the later production of 60 to 70 kilograms of flour from 100 kilograms of wheat?

But even so, there is not much, only 20% of the quota.

The rations in this era were very small, and the food rations varied from person to person according to age, starting from three kilograms for a newborn baby, six kilograms for a toddler, and eight kilograms for a young child.

12 kilograms for those over 12 years old, 15 kilograms for those over 14 years old, 18 kilograms for those over 16 years old, and 21 kilograms for adults.

Of course, this refers to ordinary residents who are unemployed.

It’s different when you have a job. For example, Li Aimin’s ration is 42 kilograms, and Ye Xin’s ration is 36 kilograms.

But no matter how much, flour accounts for 20% of the total supply, rice accounts for 10%, and the rest are coarse grains, such as cornmeal and dried sweet potatoes.

Sometimes whole grains are used, such as fresh sweet potatoes, sorghum flour and corn flour.

Li Jiayi took the bun helplessly, broke it in half and said, "It's my second sister's birthday today, give her half of this bun."

Hearing him say this, Ye Xin opened her mouth but didn't say anything.

There was too little fine grain, only enough for one person, and that person was of course Li Jiayi. He was also the only person in the family who ate fine grain.

"Brother, you eat it! I'll just eat the steamed bun." Li Jialin said. "Take it! I'm not too hungry today, I'll give you half." Li Jiayi stuffed half of the bun into her hand without giving her any explanation.

Li Jialin looked at her mother and saw her nod. Then she smiled and said to him, "Thank you, brother."

"Hey, what are you thanking me for? Just eat!"

"Ok!"

It was dark after dinner. Mom Ye Xin went to the kitchen to clean up, and Dad Li Aimin limped to the yard to fetch water.

There is no way. Taking a bath is not so convenient in this era. For example, it is summer now, so we have to use a large wooden basin to dry water in the yard.

It's just getting dark now and the water is still hot. Just bring it into the house and wipe your body and it's considered a bath.

"Dad, let me help you." Li Jiayi hurriedly ran over and said.

"No, I can do it myself, go get a towel!"

"Oh!"

At this time, the eldest and second sisters also went to fetch another basin of water.

After wiping his body and changing his clothes, Li Jiayi went back to his room to sleep.

Yes, he did not live in the main house, but lived alone in the wing rooms. There were two wing rooms in the east wing.

The north room was the kitchen, and the south room was originally a storage room, but there was no storage room now, so I cleaned it up and used it as his bedroom.

Because he is already ten years old, it is inconvenient for him to sleep with his parents or live with his two sisters.

But he didn't fall asleep. He had been in this era for ten years, but he didn't even have a golden finger, which made him very depressed.

The reason why I couldn't sleep was not only because of this, but mainly because it was too hot. Not to mention air conditioning, there wasn't even an electric fan.

In fact, even if there was an electric fan, it would be useless because there was no electricity. There was no electricity nearby.

At this time, electricity was only supplied to government departments and institutions, and few residents had electricity.

He tossed and turned until it was past twelve o'clock, and his hands were sore from fanning himself.

"Ah! Even without the golden finger, it would be nice to have a space!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Jiayi's eyes lit up and he entered a space.

"Fuck, it really came."

Ten years! When he had been in this era for a full ten years, the space finally appeared.

In an instant, spatial information appeared in his mind, as if he could control everything in this space.

Lingquan space.

A small courtyard is located in the center of the space, with three main rooms and two side rooms on the right.

There are three main rooms, the middle one is the living room, and the one on the left is infinite storage space, and time stands still.

To the right is the bedroom.

There are two side rooms, one is the automatic processing room and the other is the manual processing room.

Automatic processing rooms can only perform simple processing, such as processing wheat into flour.

The other manual processing room needs to be operated by yourself, such as making steamed buns from flour and cooking raw meat. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is an extra-large kitchen.

It can be said that in this small courtyard, except for the storage space, the time elsewhere is the same as that of the outside world.
