[Reborn] [Period] [Farming] [No System] [Slow-Burn] [Heartwarming] [Reminiscence]
Reborn in 2001, Chen Yuye becomes a five-year-old little rascal.
He is born in a poor mountain village where the annual income is less than 800 yuan.
While the other kids are still running wild and rolling around in the fields, he's already roaming the hills to dig up medicinal herbs, armed with a book called Compendium of Chinese Herbal Medicine.
Plantain, honeysuckle, bracken, kudzu vine. The mountains may be poor, but they're full of medicinal herbs!
His first pot of gold comes easily.
He buys New Year goods for the family.
Tobacco leaves for Grandpa, Sanxia cigarettes for Dad, a hat for Grandma, and a scarf for Mom.
Grandpa is so moved that he wants to visit the family graves and thank the ancestors.
"Grandpa, didn't we just visit them?"
"Then we'll go again!"
A year later, he starts primary school. What could be hard about pinyin and arithmetic? I'm a genius!
He turns in his Chinese exam after ten minutes and gets 100!
He turns in his math exam after ten minutes! 100!
Class teacher: Given your son's current performance, I recommend skipping a grade.
He's too young to get things done himself, so he'll help his parents make money.
From a little street cart selling grilled gluten to becoming a construction foreman.
From a mud-brick house with nothing in it to a three-story villa in the countryside.
The Chen family becomes the first in the village to buy a color TV, the first to buy a motorcycle, the first to trade up to a car, and the first to build a proper house.
What about me?
I think some guy named Potato wrote something called Firmament?
Never mind, I'm Guoba Potato! I'll write it!
First day of university.
"Please welcome our freshman representative, the famous platinum-level web novelist from End Point, Mr. Guoba Potato, to give a speech!"
