Rebirth of America, this is my time

Traveling through time is actually quite dreamy.

Because even Ethan himself doesn’t know why he, a Chinese seeking life in New York in 2023, came to America in 1975 two months ago and became the guy named Ethan Jones today.

Ethan only remembered that he was walking on the way to work on the day he traveled through time.

Suddenly I heard an exclamation, saying that some bank was bankrupt, no money could be withdrawn, and someone was going to jump off the building.

This kind of big melon excited Ethan. He wanted to know who was unlucky enough to put money in a Silicon Valley bank that only accepted institutional deposits.

but……

As soon as he looked in the direction of the sound, he saw a shadow falling from the sky and getting bigger and bigger.

Then his vision went dark and he came here.

For the first time, Ethan was a little excited when he encountered something like this, where a lifetime passed as soon as he closed his eyes.

After all, this is a reopening! The dream in the hearts of countless people!

But after he merged with the memory of the original owner of the body, he was a little unhappy.

There is no other reason than that the story about this child is really tragic.

Ethan Jones was born in Santa Clara County, California, in 1955. His mother is a tenured university teacher, and his father is a professional soldier.

According to common sense, this kind of family composed of an iron rice bowl should have a very happy life.

But unfortunately, when the original owner of the body was nine years old, due to the Tonkin Gulf Incident, his father was forced to embark on the battlefield in Cochin. And when he was ten years old, because he was covering the evacuation of his comrades in the Delang Valley, Stayed there forever. And his mother, after receiving the news from the front line, fell into depression and eventually passed away.

Of course, if that's all, then forget it.

What’s really disgusting is the compensation Ethan Jones received.

Since Ethan Jones's father was not killed directly on the battlefield, but died of wound infection during treatment after withdrawing from the front line due to injuries, his name did not become one of the 58315. 1. Therefore, you will not be able to enjoy the highest standard of sacrifice compensation in the beautiful country.

Those soldiers who are confirmed can bring a burial benefit of close to one thousand US dollars to their families, as well as a one-time pension of close to US$30,000, and then receive an eight-year pension paid by the insurance company. In addition to the life insurance benefit of 90,000, the family members can also enjoy excellent welfare subsidies. For example, for minor children, the subsidy for living allowance is about 1,000 US dollars per year, which is available to all family members. , a monthly subsidy paid according to national income standards.

But what about the unconfirmed ones?

For example, the pension that Ethan Jones received was only a few thousand dollars. Compared with the tens of thousands of dollars that others received, it was simply shrunk several times. The life insurance benefits paid by the insurance company were also reduced accordingly due to the content of the death.

Fortunately, even if the original owner of the body suffered the death of his parents and suffered different blows, he did not join any hippie anti-war organization, nor did he get involved with those quarrelsome guys, but continued After completing his junior high school and high school studies, he found a marketing job at Milova's California branch.

The first task I received was to send invitations to colleagues engaged in the video game industry under the leadership of the leadership, asking them to arrive at the Mi Luohua new product launch conference on time, because by then, Mi Luohua would be The world announced that it had created the world's first commercial home game console, the Odyssey.

But what is regrettable is that when writing the invitation letter, Ethan Jones sent a letter to a person named Nolan Bushnell, and this guy, after watching Milohua’s new product launch conference, They directly copied the built-in table tennis game and created an electronic arcade called Pong.

Then, this guy founded an epoch-making company in the history of video games, Atari.

In just two years, this company grew from scratch and earned tens of millions of dollars!

When this fact was placed in front of the original owner of the body, he was worried that he would be held accountable and called himself unlucky. He died of depression.

But now, the only one who can do it is Ethan, who traveled through time cheaply.

As for why it is said to be cheap?

Isn’t that because Ethan has experienced the baptism of the Internet era?

Ethan, who came from the age of the information explosion, knows that the pressure on the original owner of the body is purely the result of capitalist PUA!

Can you be held accountable by sending an invitation letter? Atari's profit is defined as loss?

What a joke!

If this works, then wouldn’t those who say their gender is an aircraft carrier become an aircraft carrier?

As a result, America still repairs a shitty Ford!

Just by talking, there will be countless more nuclear-powered money printing machines in the world!

Cut~

In the process of reminiscing, Ethan Jones also found his Chevrolet Chevrolet in the parking lot of Mirowa, drove the second-hand car he bought for $500 to Wells Fargo Bank, the most powerful bank in the area, and transferred what he had just The $2,320 I received was deposited.

Although this money is compensation, it still needs to be declared and taxed. In America, this kind of income is punitive damages paid by the employer and does not need to pay social security taxes, but income tax is required.

It's just that America's tax filing process is to declare the previous year's income before April 15th every year, and his body's original owner has already completed last year's, so the rest will be done next year.

After getting back into the car, he changed direction and stopped when passing by Kroger, the largest supermarket in America.

I went in and purchased four dozen eggs for 77 cents a dozen, five pounds of bread for 28 cents a pound, six pounds of beef for $1.39 a pound, and two two-gallon barrels of milk for $1.57 a gallon.

Add in California's 6.5% sales tax, and the total comes to $17.

He loaded his things into the car and sped off in the direction of Los Gatos.

Because Ethan's home is there.

Mirova's California branch is located in Fremont, Alameda County, which is only thirty miles away from Los Gatos, Santa Clara County. It can be reached in up to forty minutes on Highway 880. .

At around twelve o'clock at noon, Ethan Jones's Chevrolet stopped in this small town of only 20,000 people. He carried his things and walked into a two-story country house. As soon as he entered the house, a milky and buttery smell penetrated his nose.

Oh! Aunt Linda! Are you frying a steak?

Ethan smelled the scent and walked into the kitchen.

The sound behind her caused a middle-aged woman who was busy in front of the gas stove to turn her head.

Then she waved the steak frying tongs and laughed.

Yeah! Ethan! You have a good nose. I'm frying steak! What I bought today is a new kind of beef. It's said to be a new breed of Wagyu and Angus beef. It's not mass-produced yet. It's just in the cultivation stage. I don't know if it's true or not, but when I picked it, the marble texture was very beautiful. Of course, its price is also very beautiful, five pounds of filet cost me fifteen dollars! That’s fifteen dollars! Oh my god! Why don’t they just grab the money!”

The way he spoke like a female coloratura made Ethan laugh. He raised the thing in his hand to show it, and then said regretfully: Aunt Linda, if I had known you could buy such good beef, I wouldn't have gone. Kroger.

Hey! Kid! What are you talking about!

Aunt Linda glared at Ethan angrily, and then took the thing from Ethan's hand like a treasure.

Beef is a good thing. You can never have too much! Because of the oil issue, the prices of everything on the market are going up like crazy. If you buy it one day early, you are getting a bargain! What? You also bought eggs and milk. ?Oh! You did a great job with the Gu family, my baby!

Aunt Linda stuffed things into the refrigerator and then wanted to give Ethan a hug.

But before she could reach out, another thick voice came over, Ethan, what did you do today to make Linda so happy? I didn't even drive the car into the yard, but I already heard the sound in the house. The sound of surprise coming from inside, do you know what that feels like? It feels like Henry Fonda seeing gold!”

The loud voice made the two of them turn their heads.

Then, they saw a middle-aged man wearing a linen shirt and denim trousers.

This man has a big belly that no one with rosacea or mature men can escape, and when he talks, he sticks out.

Oh, honey, you're back.

After seeing him, Aunt Linda opened her arms.

Yes, I'm done.

The middle-aged man smiled and hugged.

Good afternoon, Uncle Thomas.

Ethan Jones is no exception.

Good afternoon, Ethan.

Uncle Thomas also gave his nephew a few pats on his vest.

After greeting each other, he also learned from his lover the reason for the other's excitement.

At the same time, he also discovered a problem with his keen mind.

Ethan, didn't you go to work this morning? Why do you have time to go to the supermarket so early in the morning?

Isn't that because what I told you before came true?

Ethan didn't hide anything, he spread his hands and said coolly: I was fired. I received the notice as soon as I got to work.

Uncle Thomas was stunned for a moment by his nephew's words, and then he immediately said with a smile: So that's it? No wonder! Why did you come back at noon today? You usually leave early and come back late.

While talking, he took out another box of Winstons from his pocket, took out one and handed it to Ethan. When his nephew waved his hand, he regretfully held it in his mouth, took out a lighter and lit it.

It's good that I don't like smoking. He muttered.

While puffing away the smoke, he added: Ethan, don't be sad, being fired is a good thing. Milohua may be a good company, but the management inside stinks like shit! You obviously The invitation letter was sent according to the list given by the leader. Firstly, it did not invite outsiders without authorization, and secondly, it did not omit any important people. But in this case, after something happened, they actually passed the responsibility to you? Damn! This kind of All beasts will go to hell!

But now, you're out of that hellish place! Even if you don't get compensation, you can still find a better place to go. This is actually a relief for you. This is really a blessing from God!

Uncle Thomas crossed himself.

But I got compensation. Ethan said.

What? Uncle Thomas was a little surprised, Did you get compensation?

Yes, 2N+1 compensation, and this week's salary. Ethan smiled and pointed to his temple, I just used a little brain and a little magic must defeat magic technique.

Oh! This is simply great! Uncle Thomas happily patted Ethan on the shoulder, and then said loudly to his wife: Linda! Do you still have the white wine from Gallo Winery at home? ?”

Yes, what's wrong? Aunt Linda, who had been listening, immediately replied.

I want to have a few drinks with Ethan! Celebrate him leaving that damn company! Uncle Thomas put his arms around Ethan and laughed: I believe this will mean he has a new beginning! Milo Those ignorant guys in China will definitely regret today’s decision!”
