Volume 1: Little People Return 2014 Chapter 001 Returning to the Age of Eighteen
If the facts were not before his eyes, Zhou Dongsheng really would not have believed it.
I looked up at the mirror in disbelief, and saw a handsome face with a hint of youthfulness in it, also looking at "myself" in disbelief.
Zhou Dongsheng could only recognize this face when he went back to the age of eighteen. The strangeness at first glance was exactly like seeing a photo of himself as a child.
This kid is actually me?! I woke up and found myself to be 18 years old?
However, when I picked up the black Apple 4th generation phone placed aside, turned on the screen, and looked at the information displayed on it.

To be precise, it’s not that I turned eighteen years old, but that I went back to 2014, when I was eighteen, just entering society, standing like a minion…
After the incredible moment, I turned on the faucet, scooped up a handful of cold water and washed my face. The cool, real touch and the feeling of refreshment all over my body surged into my heart.
Zhou Dongsheng quickly accepted this fact. After all, it was a piece of cake to accept such a good thing.
An 18-year-old body, a young and handsome face, no traces of being beaten by society, no occupational diseases left by long-term work, a flat belly without a big belly ...
Touching his smooth chin without a trace of stubble, Zhou Dongsheng felt a little uncomfortable while recalling his current situation.
At the age of eighteen, the innocent Zhou Dongsheng jumped out of the ivory tower and plunged into the colorful society with his vision of the future.
With the introduction of a relative, he left his hometown and came to Chuncheng, Yunnan, thousands of miles away, to work under a young and promising relative and see the world.
To put it nicely, it means taking you to see the world; to put it bluntly, it means being a cheap labor force. You have to do all the dirty and tiring work, and food and accommodation are provided, while the salary is low, just over a thousand yuan a month.
After taking home a few thousand dollars a year, Zhou Dongsheng jumped out of one pit and fell into another, doing nothing while being unilaterally beaten by society.
Looking back at my life after being unsuccessful at the age of 30, I am filled with regrets. I never thought that God would give me another chance!
What else is there to say? Just do it. If you can't live like a human being again, then don't be a human being in your next life.
At the age of eighteen, I am young and all the good things in the world seem to be related to me. What I should do now is to firmly grasp this hard-earned beauty.
Zhou Dongsheng wiped his face and walked out of the bathroom. This was his relative's house, a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment in a residential area.
The relative's name is Deng Bin, who is six years older than Zhou Dongsheng. At the age of he owns a three-bedroom, one-living-room house, an Audi A4L, and two shops in the International Trade City, running a wholesale underwear business.
At the age of 24, with a house, a car and a career, he can definitely be called a young and promising person. Of course, it is also because he has a good father to support him.
In addition to Zhou Dongsheng, there are Deng Bin’s wife, younger brother, sister-in-law, and a victim just like Zhou Dongsheng.
Zhou Dongsheng followed his memory and returned to his room. It was called a room, but it was actually a storage room with two layers of bunk beds. This was the dormitory of Zhou Dongsheng and another victim, Qiu Zijian.
After all, in a house with three bedrooms and one living room, the master bedroom belongs to Deng Bin and his wife, the second bedroom belongs to his younger brother, and the guest room naturally belongs to his sister-in-law. Zhou Dongsheng and Qiu Zijian have the lowest status, so it is reasonable for them to live in the utility room.
Qiu Zijian on the upper bunk was still sleeping soundly. Although it was already eight o'clock, except for Zhou Dongsheng, no one else in the house seemed to be moving.
Didn't he have to go to work today? Zhou Dongsheng, who had just arrived, was a little unsure, so he simply sat on the lower bunk and sorted out the information in his mind.
It is now June 2014, and I am in Spring City, Yunnan. Although I stayed here for a year in my previous life, I lived a routine life going back and forth between home and abroad for the entire year, so I know very little about this place.
But right now, the 2014 World Cup has just begun, and Zhou Dongsheng's eyes light up when he thinks of this!
Although Zhou Dongsheng doesn't know many football players except Messi, Ronaldo and Neymar, he still remembers them.
With that shocking score of 7-1, the German tank crushed the football kingdom and made countless gamblers cry and walk to the rooftop!
Since the 2014 World Cup was held in Brazil, it was basically early in the morning in China due to the time difference, so Zhou Dongsheng, as a wage earner, naturally had no chance to watch it.
However, because of a gambling boss named Deng Bin, Zhou Dongsheng still has some vague memories of this World Cup.
In addition to the unforgettable score of 7-1, Zhou Dongsheng still remembers that the final champion was the German team, and he couldn't remember who Brazil played against in the opening ceremony.
But the score was 3-1 for Brazil, because the boss Deng Bin won 100 yuan and treated everyone to a midnight snack, so Zhou Dongsheng still had some impression...
While recalling, he wrote down some key information about the future that he could remember in the memo on his mobile phone, as this would determine whether he could live a decent life in the future .
"Wake up, get up, Qiu Zijian! Why are you still sleeping? You don't have to open the shop to work, right? I'll complain to Brother Bin later and see how Brother Bin punishes you!"
A shrill voice suddenly sounded outside the door, startling Zhou Dongsheng who was concentrating on his studies. Looking up, he saw a woman standing at the door with her hands on her hips, calling out.
This is the boss’s sister-in-law, Xu Yun. She has freckles all over her fair face, a pointed mouth and a small nose, and she stands with her hands on her hips, looking very imposing.
After saying that, he glanced at Zhou Dongsheng, his tone slowed down, and he smiled, "Dongsheng, pack up, we'll go out and open the store first."
Zhou Dongsheng responded, and Xu Yun left in a swift and decisive manner. Qiu Zijian, who was lying on the upper bunk, turned over, didn't take it seriously, and continued to sleep soundly.
Zhou Dongsheng has now gradually gotten used to his 18-year-old identity, and his memories are gradually emerging. The difference in Xu Yun's attitude towards the two is not just because Zhou Dongsheng is handsome.
There is also a difference in the work performance of the two people. The eighteen-year-old Zhou Dongsheng has an honest and hardworking character. Which boss doesn't like such a tool?
On the contrary, Qiu Zijian, who is one year younger, has a lively personality. He let himself go when he first entered society. He learned to smoke and drink without any instruction. He often goes out and does not come home until midnight. He cannot get up in the morning, which affects his work.
Later, he was sent back to his hometown by his boss because of a mistake he made. Since then, Zhou Dongsheng has never heard of this little brother again.
However, Deng Bin's family later fell into poverty, and gossip about their chaos could be occasionally heard from relatives. They became a typical example of "playing a good hand of cards badly", and their ending was also regrettable .
After a rough recollection, Zhou Dongsheng did not plan to do anything. After all, all this had little to do with him. Even if he knew the future, it would be difficult to persuade the damned ghost with kind words.
Just like I can’t wake up the guy on the upper bunk now, the key is to seize the opportunity of the World Cup and get away from here as soon as possible.
After all, apart from the World Cup, what I missed and those regrets are still in my memory. Although they have not happened yet, they are reminding me.
Rather than changing these irrelevant people, what Zhou Dongsheng wants to reverse more is his own future, a middle-aged Zhou Dongsheng who has accomplished nothing and has no foundation at the age of thirty.
