Era: A Laid-back Life After Moving to the Countryside

“East is Red, the sun rises…”
The distinctly old-fashioned song outside woke Han Li from his sleep, as it had done many times before.
He opened his eyes helplessly, rolled over, and stared blankly at the dim room.
After so many days, he no longer needed to pull back the curtains to know that the sky outside was, at best, barely beginning to lighten.
While Han Li was lost in thought, the sounds of his mother and elder sister preparing breakfast drifted in from outside.
He dressed sluggishly, listening to the radio, then sat at the edge of his bed, still gathering his wits.
At that moment, his mind was filled with a deeply unreal feeling, prompting him to unconsciously recall everything once again.
Who could have imagined that, just over a month ago, he was living in the technologically advanced twenty-second century?
Although he was a typical university graduate who found himself unemployed—oh, and a seasoned homebody to boot—
because he had stayed up late forging a piece of equipment in a game, when he opened his eyes again, he found himself in the Seventy-Three-Year Four-Nine City.
Not only did he have both parents, but also two elder sisters and a younger sister—a large family.
Though four or five children per household was normal in this era, few families could match theirs in living conditions.
Pure white flour buns were a rare treat, but their mixed flour buns always had more white flour than most others.
Every so often, they could even enjoy some meat, all thanks to his present family circumstances.
