The heavens set sail from the courtyard

"Xie Lin, Xie Lin, wake up, you're going to be late for school."

Wang Gang felt himself being shaken and opened his eyes dazedly, only to see a strange girl in front of him.

The girl looked about fifteen or sixteen years old. She was wearing a 90s high school uniform and had a ponytail. Her skin was slightly dark, but she had a sunny temperament.

Wang Gang was very experienced in time travel. He climbed up skillfully and said, "Get up. Stop shaking. You're almost shaking the bed down."

The girl said unhappily, "Xie Lin, you're staying in bed again. Don't be late for school and cause me trouble."

Wang Gang was speechless: "Who should I teach at school?"

The girl said disdainfully: "You are still dreaming! With your grades, who do you think you can teach? Be careful not to mislead the students."

Wang Gang rubbed his temple. The original owner’s memory had not yet come out, so he couldn’t reveal any flaws for the time being.

"You go out first, I need to get dressed."

The girl said again in disgust: "You sleep without clothes again. My mother has told you so many times. Can you wear pajamas when you sleep in the future?"

After saying that, the girl carelessly threw the school uniform beside the bed to Wang Gang and ran out of the room.

Only then did Wang Gang have time to look around the room.

This is a room less than ten square meters, probably a bungalow, with a very 8s or 90s feel, and posters of the Four Heavenly Kings are posted on the wall.

"I have traveled back to the modern era. It looks like it should be the 1990s."

While putting on his clothes, Wang Gang tried to recall the original owner's memories.

Soon a large number of memories came back, the memories of a fifteen-year-old boy named Xie Ling.

Xie Lin, a native of Beijing, lives in Denghua Hutong and is currently a sophomore in junior high school.

The one who just woke him up was Xie Lin's cousin Xie Qiao, who was less than three months younger than him.

The Xie family is an ordinary family in the capital's hutongs. Grandma Xie has two children.

Xie Qiao is the only daughter of the eldest son Xie Zirun, and Xie Lin is the only son of the second son.

Xie Lin is temporarily fostered in the home of his uncle Xie Zirun because he has an extremely unreliable father.

The second son of the Xie family had a rock dream since he was young. He hung out outside all day long, caused a death at a young age, and gave birth to Xie Lin before getting married.

Xie Lin had never seen his mother since he was a child. It was said that the woman who gave birth to him ran away. Xie Laoer was still a child himself and had no idea how to take care of his son, so he left Xie Lin to his mother and continued to pursue his rock dream.

Grandma Xie naturally couldn't bear to see her only grandson left unattended, so she discussed with her eldest son and daughter-in-law to help raise the second son first. Unexpectedly, they would be raising him for fifteen years.

Xie Lin and Xie Qiao grew up together, and many people at school actually thought they were siblings.

Wang Gang is now Xie Ling.

After digesting Xie Ling's memory, Wang Gang took the washbasin and toothbrush as usual and ran to the yard to wash up.

The Xie family lived in a large courtyard in Denghua Hutong, where several other families lived.

I heard that this courtyard was the residence of princesses of the previous dynasty. Due to its age, it was transformed into a slum with many dilapidated houses added on, making it look a bit crowded.

Wang Gang had lived in a slum before, so he was naturally familiar with it. With Xie Ling's memory, he quickly became familiar with the environment.

While he was brushing his teeth, a boy about his age came running over with a washbasin and asked slyly:
"Xie Lin, did you finish your math homework yesterday? Lend it to me to copy later."

Wang Gang spit out the foam in his mouth and said speechlessly: "Qin Chuan, I still want to borrow your homework to copy!"

The boy felt as if he had lost his parents and was like a deflated ball when he heard this.

"The teacher said yesterday that those who didn't hand in their homework today will be punished by standing in the corner." The boy looked up at the sky and said speechlessly: "I can only rely on Qiao Qiao now!"

Xie Qiao came out of the house holding a piece of fried steamed bread and said, "Yesterday I asked you to do your homework but you refused and insisted on watching TV. Don't even think about copying from me today." "Qiao Qiao, you can't just stand by and watch me die!" the boy shouted.

The boy named Qin Chuan lives in the next house. Because they are the same age, he is closest to Xie Lin and Xie Qiao. They can be said to be childhood sweethearts who grew up together.

The Xie family and the Qin family also have a particularly good relationship because of their children.

Like Xie Lin, Qin Chuan was a poor student who failed every subject and always ranked last or second to last in the class.

After washing up, Wang Gang prepared to go into the house to have breakfast.

Xie Qiao said to Qin Chuan: "My grandma asked you to have breakfast with her. Today we will have fried steamed bread slices and stinky fermented tofu."

When Qin Chuan heard that there was food to eat, his eyes suddenly lit up, he washed his face and ran to Xie's house.

"Thank you, Grandma. Is the fermented tofu in your house from Wangzhihe?" Qin Chuan sat down at the dining table without any hesitation. He picked up the chopsticks and started to eat.

Xie Qiao said speechlessly: "Qin Chuan, you come to eat and have so many requests, thank you for your face!"

Grandma Xie said with a smile: "Qiao Qiao, you are a girl, don't be so rude, go and call your parents to come for dinner."

Xie Qiao was not convinced and said: "Grandma, why are you better to Qin Chuan than to me? I am your granddaughter!"

Grandma Xie laughed and said, "You are still jealous of Qin Chuan. If you are not my granddaughter, then who is my granddaughter?"

Xie Qiao and Qin Chuan have been a pair of bickering lovers since childhood. They would fight over everything they saw, but when it comes to their relationship, they are really good.

"Grandma, I'll go call my uncle and the others." Wang Gang put down his chopsticks and took the initiative to say.

"Go ahead." Grandma Xie nodded and served Qin Chuan a bowl of white porridge.

Qin Chuan saw Xie Qiao was about to take the fried steamed bread slices, so he quickly took the initiative.

"Grandma, look, Qin Chuan stole my steamed bread." Xie Qiao immediately refused to give in.

"Okay! There are still a lot of fried steamed bread slices, you can eat the rest." Grandma Xie was already used to her granddaughter and Qin Chuan playing around, so she brought over another plate of steamed bread slices.

"No, I want to eat the piece in Qin Chuan's hand. I saw it first." Xie Qiao reached out and grabbed Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan suddenly stuck out his tongue and licked the steamed bread, which made Xie Qiao feel sick.

"Eat it! I'll give it to you." Qin Chuan took the initiative to hand the steamed bread slice that was stained with his saliva to Xie Qiao.

"Go away, this is disgusting." Xie Qiao said with disgust.

Grandma Xie watched the two children playing with a smile on her face, and had no intention of intervening at all.

Wang Gang quickly called his uncle and aunt out for dinner.

My uncle Xie Zirun is a well-mannered middle-aged man who wears a pair of old glasses and has a good temper. He works in the editorial department of a magazine and is considered a writer.

My aunt worked at a bank counter. She put on her uniform early in the morning, glanced at the stinky tofu on the table, and frowned.

"Mom, I'm going to be late for work, so I won't have breakfast." My aunt picked up her bag and prepared to leave.

"Take two slices of steamed bread and eat them on the way." said Grandma Xie.

"No, I'll just buy two vegetable buns on the way." Xie's mother refused.

"Why waste that money? We have enough food at home." Grandma Xie said dissatisfiedly.

Wang Gang knew that his aunt disliked the greasy fried steamed bread slices and the strong smell of stinky tofu.

"Mom, let's eat the steamed bread slices! She really can't be late for work, otherwise she won't get the full attendance bonus." Xie Zirun smoothed things over for his wife.

Although the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law seem to get along well on the surface, in reality, neither of them looks down on the other. Fortunately, both of them are relatively restrained, and Xie Zirun will mediate between them, so there is not much conflict. (End of this chapter)
