ExtraOrdinary Genius
Chapter 1 – Rebirth to 1988
“Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, get up. It’s 12am soon. Get up and eat
dumplings.”
Feng Yu felt this voice was a little unfamiliar, but yet,
felt very affectionate. He mumbled a reply and opened his eyes. He saw a young
face which only exists in his memory.
“Sister?”
“You are awake now. Hurry up and wash your face. I had told
you not to drink, yet you still insisted. You had missed the Spring Festival
Night show.” Feng Danying said with a smile.
Spring Festival night? Today is the Lunar New Year’s Eve?
Feng Yu, feeling confused, looked around. An old room, less
than six square meters, a single bed, patched bedding, an old wooden table,
above was a 20-watt incandescent bulb emitting dim lights, old newspapers
covering the walls, all of which were national events that he can’t remember.
Isn’t this the old farmhouse from his childhood days? But
this house had long been demolished with the development of the towns, and how
did my sister become so young?
Feng Yu raised his hand, only to find that this was
definitely not a joke because his hands had become smaller and his arms grew thinner.
He hurriedly jumped out of bed and stand by the door frame.
The door frame had knife markings recording his height which he made every year
on Lunar New Year eve. The highest marking indicates 1988, 166 cm.
This was 1988? He had yet to graduate from junior high
school?
He pinched himself and almost cried out due to the pain.
This was not a dream?
Feng Yu opened the door, his mother is cooking dumplings
with the kitchen pan. He lived in a small house. The kitchen was just outside
of his room and on the other side of the kitchen was the living room. The
living room was also called central room on the farm.
“You are up? Do you still dare to drink in future?” Zhang
Muhua looks at his son affectionately.
Feng Yu looked at his still dark-haired mother with teary
eyes.
“Mom, you had worked hard.”
“What are you talking about. Hurry up and wash your face and
go watch TV. The dumplings will be ready soon.” Zhang Muhua, after hearing what
Feng Yu said, was very pleased. This showed that her son had grown up.
When Feng Yu saw his father sitting on the bench in the
living room, his lips trembled. In the future years, when he could make money,
his father was detected with end-stage brain cancer and passed away within
three months.
Due to his father’s passing, Feng Yu was upset for some
years.
“Dad.”
Feng Xingtai turned and looked at his son: “Oh, you are up.
Still feeling giddy? Come… watch TV. It’s the traditional folk dance.”
“Not giddy anymore. The buzz of the alcohol had passed. Dad,
I want to drink with you later.” Seeing his father’s angry expression, Feng Yu
quickly explained: “Beer will do.”
In his lifetime, Feng Yu had only drunk with his father a
few times. Now, what Feng Yu wished the most was to drink with his father
again.
“Still had not learned your lesson? Fine. Then drink more.
See if you are able to wake up tomorrow for New Year’s Day visiting! Danying,
go and get two bottles of beer.”
Feng Danying shook her head helplessly and went to get the
beer and glasses.
There was also a single bed in the living room with bedding.
Feng Danying attended boarding school and only came back during holidays. When
she's back, she will sleep with her mother. This bed was for Feng Xingtai. But
three years ago, it belongs to Feng Yu.
In the west wall of the living room, was a three-door
vertical wardrobe and above the closet were two luggage. On a solid wooden
table, stood a 14-inch black-and-white TV set, which was showing the Spring
Festival Night TV program.
In the middle of the living room, stood a round folding
table, filled with dishes and tableware. A total of eight dishes, but all were
the leftovers from dinner. There was chicken, fish, pork trotters, etc. A total
of eight meat dishes.
Feng Yu did not watch TV but went to the front of the
wardrobe and looked at himself in the mirror. Although the lighting is not very
good, Feng Yu is able to see himself clearly. He was now a teenager with a
little stubbed beneath his nose.
He looked at the wall calendar at the door, February 16,
1988, New Year’s Eve.
He can now be sure that he was reborn!
The mother quickly cooked dumplings, Feng Yu and Feng
Danying, went to the kitchen to help bring out the dumplings. After everyone
was seated, Feng Xingtai picked up chopsticks.
“Xiaoyu, you are going to drink again?!” Zhang Muhua stared
Feng Yu.
“Mom, it’s New Year, let me drink more.”
Feng Xingtai also put in a few words for him. Zhang Muhua
shook her head. Feng Yu diligently poured beer for his mother and sister. One
family must have a drink together.
“Dad, Mom, sister, Happy New year, cheers!”
Feng Yu casually ate the leftovers on the table, which he
felt very delicious. During this time, there were no growth hormones unlike in
the future. All fishes and rabbits were caught from the wild. Chicken and pigs
were reared by themselves. The father and son ate these dishes and the
dumplings. Feng Xingtai only allowed each one to have only one beer.
After dinner, Feng Yu washed up and back to his room to lie
down. When lying in bed, he was tossing and turning. He thought back on his
previous life before traveling back in time.
Feng Yu Ben was a middle-aged man in his forties. After
resigning from the securities company, he did some investments and invested in
Stock, futures, gold, crude oil. Although he was not too successful, his income
was still not bad.
He had a wife but no children. As his father had passed away
early, his mother lived with him.
He remembered that it was the spring of 2015. To bring his
wife abroad to treat infertility, he desperately needed to make some money.
He used all his savings, mortgaged his house and car, and
borrowed a considerable sum of money to invest in the stock market. According
to his analysis, it was a bull market, and even fools can make money.
In the beginning, the market was excellent. He's investment
doubled in a short period of time. But he wanted more profits. So, he boldly
uses high leverage with an investment company. If his investments increased
again, he would be able to do nothing for the rest of his life and still be
able to live comfortably.
When the stock index rose to 5000 points, he was greedy like
many other people. He thought the stock market would continue to rise. The
stock market did rise a bit. However, the market soon dived, and because he
used high leverage and had no additional funding, he suffered a significant
loss. After paying the borrowed money, he was as poor as a church mouse. His
wife did not know that the house and the car had been mortgaged. Feng Yu did
not know how to face his family when he goes home.
He was bankrupted. On that very day, he drank a lot and
“accidentally” fell on to the road, in front of many people and was hit by a
big truck.
This way, it should not be considered as suicide. The
accident insurance policy he bought would pay out millions. It should be enough
to redeem the house and car and also leave a sum of money for his mother and
wife.
He remembered when he looked at the big truck speeding
towards him. He thought that if God could give him a chance to return, he would
not want to die again. He wants his family to live a comfortable life!
But he did not expect that God would actually give him a
chance to come back again!
Since God had let him come back, he will not relive his past
life regrets this time. He wanted to become rich, he wanted to become a legend
in the investment world!
Thinking about this, Feng Yu could not help but shouted: “I,
Feng Yu, had come back !!!”
“Xiaoyu, stop shouting and quickly go to bed.” Zhang Muhua
shouted from the other side of the wall. At the same time complained about her
husband. How can he let his son drink at night again?
Hearing his mother complains, Feng Yu smiled and turned over to sleep.
