Chapter 2 [Can You Go Back to 60 Seconds Ago? 】

capital, capital.

Chengdong District, North Exit of Heping Street.

Yesterday's resurrection made Dong Xuebin a lot. If time didn't miraculously go backwards, he would never see his mother or Aunt Xuan again. For the first time, he also had a good idea of ​​​​living. . After thinking about it all night, Dong Xuebin only fell asleep in the early morning, so it was more than ten o'clock in the morning when he climbed out of the towel and quilt. Rolling over and getting off the creaking old spring sofa, he rubbed his eyes and went to the bathroom to wash up. Finally, he wiped his face and yawned casually towards the closed bedroom door: "Mom, are you awake?"

Mother Luan Xiaoping's choked voice hurriedly resounded in the house, "Wake up early to clean up the house, do you still want to eat breakfast?"

"Wait for lunch." Dong Xuebin felt that his mother's tone was not right, he walked over quickly and pushed the door to take a look, only to see his mother sitting on the snow-white bed sheet anxiously wiping the tears from her face with the back of her hand. Seeing herself coming in, she turned her head away and sniffed, and quickly forced a smile and stuffed a few old black and white photos in her wallet into her wallet. This is a photo of my mom and dad when they got married, taken more than 20 years ago.

Dong Xuebin felt a pain in his heart, and sat down next to his mother, "Miss my dad?"

"No, no." Mom carefully put away the wallet and wiped her eyes, "I just found it, take it out and see."

He didn't know how many times he had seen this picture in the past few years. The mother's temperament was relatively weak and weak. Whenever she thought of sad things, she often cried secretly by herself. Dong Xuebin didn't feel very well, "Mom, it's because your son is incompetent, he can't study, he has no ability, and he has no confidence in passing the civil service exam. At most, he works with Panjiayuan Antique Market during winter and summer vacations. I, I, ah , when Dad was hospitalized a few years ago, if I had made money early to go to the best hospital for Dad to see a doctor, Dad might not have left."

Mom touched his leg with her hand, "Don't talk nonsense, my son is the most capable, and he will definitely be an official in the future."

Dong Xuebin moved his lips but couldn't say anything.

The mother smiled and touched her son's hand, "Don't think about it so much, I will cook you a delicious meal at noon."

A small plate of fried shredded pork with garlic sprouts, a bowl of boiled cabbage, and half a pot of rice porridge—this is a good meal in Dong Xuebin's house. Usually when he is at home alone, he is reluctant to eat like this. Often, a pot of rice and a green vegetable are enough for two meals a day. It is not that Dong Xuebin is frugal, but that the family does not have that much money. It's really a penny cut in half.

He, Dong Xuebin, is 23 years old this year and graduated with an undergraduate degree.

Ordinary appearance, ordinary height, ordinary personality, ordinary ability.

Home Deposit: Never exceed five figures.

In the year my father was hospitalized, all the family’s savings were spent, and finally the house was sold. Now this one-bedroom is rented later. After my father passed away, my mother, who took leave for too long, lost her job. In addition, the consumption in the capital was too high. My mother simply gritted her teeth and went back to her hometown in the countryside. He went to university by himself, and only came to Beijing to live with him for a month or two every time he was only in the winter and summer vacations.

Rent, utility bills, living expenses, and daily expenses are obviously not enough to rely on the meager salary of his mother alone, so Dong Xuebin often goes to the supermarket cashier or works in the antique city during holidays or weekends. Apart from tuition fees, he can barely earn it himself. , and then live frugally, I can almost ignore my mother's request for money every month, and rely on myself.

Bitterness is bitterness, but the four years of stumbling and stumbling can be considered to have survived.

After the meal, his mother watched the old black-and-white movie "Tunnel Warfare" on TV while cleaning up the dishes. He went back to the bedroom to lie on the broken wooden bed, staring at the ceiling with the wall peeled off. The left wants to come, the right wants to go, and now the universities in the capital basically do not manage the assignment of jobs, and I have obtained the graduation certificate of the United University.

Alas, it would be great if I really had a superpower.

Unfortunately, I tried so many times yesterday, but it was no longer successful.

try again?

The door creaked open, and my mother stuck her head out from the crack of the door and said softly: "You read the book yourself, and Mom will go to your aunt Xu's house upstairs to sit for a while, her son heard that he is going to take the civil service exam this year. , and you are in the same test center, Mom will see if she can ask her son to teach you the remedial homework, Xiaodong's studies are very good."

Dong Xuebin's chest was a little blocked, and he hummed hoarsely.

"Mom will be back in a while." Boom, the door closed.

Gritting his teeth, Dong Xuebin collected his mind and made another boring attempt.

go back! return! Back off! fall back! BACK!

Suddenly, Dong Xuebin, who was lying down, only felt his body move, but when he blinked his eyes to look left and right, he shook his head helplessly, but he still didn't respond.

Just when he had given up trying, with a squeak, the door of the hut opened without warning.

The old mother stuck her head out and looked at her son and said, "You read the book by yourself. Mom will go to your aunt Xu's house and sit for a while. Her son heard that he is going to take the civil service exam this year, and he is a test center with you. Mom will see if he can take the exam. Ask her son to give you remedial homework, Xiaodong's studies are very good."

Dong Xuebin was stunned, "Huh?"

Same words, same tone.

This is clearly a scene that happened about five or sixty seconds ago!

Seeing the son's reaction, the mother blinked her eyes in a guilty conscience, and whispered, "Mom knows that you love face, but her son Xiaodong got a perfect score in the national exam last year, and let him tell you about it. Speaking of which, your chances of passing are slightly higher.”

Dong Xuebin said blankly, "I didn't mean that."

The mother looked at his expression, "That mother went?"

After his mother left, Dong Xuebin slapped his forehead hard, and it was done, it was done!

He resisted the surprise in his heart, quickly grabbed a small plastic orange peel alarm clock, stared at the time on it without blinking, and chanted the "spell" again silently.

go back! return! Back off! fall back! BACK!

Dong Xuebin just recited from the afternoon to the evening, and after a period of time after eating, he recited from night to night. Finally, the hard work paid off. At two minutes and twenty-eight seconds past zero at night, the time went backwards again, and it returned to one minute and twenty-eight seconds past zero, a full minute backwards!

Don't mention the joy in Dong Xuebin's heart.

He understood that the time of the alarm clock was wrong, and quickly turned on the old-fashioned 29-inch color TV with ball screen.

In the upper right corner of an evening military program, there is a time display - 23:59:19.

It took about nineteen seconds to open the TV channel, that is to say, the moment he used "return" was exactly twelve o'clock in the night. He blinked his eyes and boldly speculated that this "return" is based on zero in the morning, can only be used once a day, and each time it is used, it will return to the time point sixty seconds ago?

God!

If this is the case, then God is so mean to him! !
