Reborn in America

Chapter 1: Son of "Carpenter"

Some people say that history is a long river, and people in the long river cannot change its direction in any way.

So some people imagine that when people in the future drive a space-time machine back in the past, they can change history by changing certain key events.

It was also deduced that people in the future cannot change the past anyway. If a person really "returns to the past" and killed his grandmother before his mother was pregnant, will this time traveller still exist? This is the famous "grandmother paradox"!

For someone, all this is no longer a hypothesis, but a fact. He has returned to the past, reincarnated and reborn.

Regarding his own past, he can no longer change, but the future is still not shaped. What he can change is his future, not the past.

The memories of the past are like dreams, surrounding him. Only reality is true, he lives in the present.

"Alex! Wake up for breakfast!"

Alex, who was sleeping, was suddenly awakened. He dreamed of the past again, as if it were a distant dream, which was so real when he fell asleep, but became blurred when he was awake. Memories are like ebb and flow. When they wake up, the sea of memories will gradually recede, revealing a beach composed of countless conscious minds.

With a sound of urging, he opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was a pretty face, big eyes, and golden length. This is Angel, his biological mother in this life.

"Get up, baby! Your breakfast is ready."

Angel reached out and rubbed Alex's head. It was a golden head and inherited from her.

From the outside, Alex has clean brows, fair skin, and a dark golden head. If he weren't wearing boy clothes, others would think he was a girl.

"Well, good! Mom!"

Alex blinked, sat up, and after putting on his clothes, he washed his face and rinsed his mouth.

It has been more than three years since he came into this world, which is different from the wonderful life he imagined after being reborn. In the past three years, life has been flat and regular. Since he was able to walk on his own, he no longer depends on the support of his parents, and can dress, eat, bathe, and go to the toilet like an independent person.

This made his parents a lot easier, at least not as troublesome as taking care of other children. Alex's independence can be manifested at a very young age, and it surprised parents at the beginning, and after a long time, it will not feel strange.

Alex, who was just born, consciously exercised his body, and became familiar with the life after his birth as soon as possible. It is said that when babies are just born, they have no self-consciousness. They will only respond in various ways according to changes in the external environment.

As a baby, Alex knew how to crawl around, exercise his arm and leg muscles, and also exercised his hand-eye coordination skills. This allowed him to grow stronger and faster than other children, and he could stand up and run around before he was 1 year old. At the same time, under the guidance of Alex, his parents read books and sang songs for him, and trained him to develop his five sense organs including hearing and vision.

He did this for a reason. According to the investigation of scientists, the conversation and interaction between parents or other people and babies can produce a lot of stimulation. After being stimulated, babies will make various movements and expressions, and babies who have more contact with the outside world will grow faster than other babies. Human consciousness is gradually born and formed. Before the age of three, it is a critical period for the growth of human self-consciousness.

Although Alex did not understand this principle, he knew this conclusion. Since his birth, he has consciously observed the outside world and touched it. He grew up much faster than ordinary children, he was able to walk on the ground early, and he could run quickly.

In the eyes of his parents, Alex is a sensible child. He hasn't been noisy since he was a child, and he doesn't need his parents to spend a lot of energy to look after him. No matter what you do, as long as you teach it once, Alex knows how to do it himself. He even understands some things without parents teaching them. Coupled with the scene where Alex was born, they are very fond of this son.

His father, Bart Carpenter, was born in China on November 8, 1908. I used to stay in China for a while, and when I grew up, I followed my parents back to the United States. He is an American of Jewish descent, with a dark brown head, a tall figure, and a serious face.

After Bart returned to the United States, he met Angel, a golden beauty born in Baltimore. Angel is seven or eight years younger than Bart, and when the two of them met, she was still a teenage problem girl. They married on April 9, 1935 after seven years of love.

Carpenter means "carpenter", but Bart is not a carpenter. He is an auto worker, a standard American blue-collar class. At first, Bart worked in Detroit, and moved to Chicago with the company after 1940.

Chicago is located in the Midwest of the United States, in the state of Illinois, bordering Lake Michigan to the east, and is the third largest city in the United States after New York City and Los Angeles.

Chicago is located in the center of the Big Six in North America and is the most important railway and aviation hub in the United States. Chicago is also one of the most important financial, cultural, manufacturing, futures and commodity trading centers in the United States. It has gradually become one of the big cities with great influence in the world.

In addition, Chicago is a multi-ethnic city. Early immigrants included Irish, Swedes, Poles, Italians, Germans and Chinese. Among them, the proportion of blacks is the largest, followed by whites.

In the 1940s and 1950s, the city of Chicago was in flight. The Carpenter family happened to catch the ride of this city exhibition. They quickly bought a house in a suburban district and settled here ever since.

The settled Carpenters were ready to start raising the next generation, and they soon became pregnant with their first child.

On March 30, 1942, Alex Carpenter was born as a boy. At first, he stopped breathing for a while, and his body was cold, and he was judged dead by the doctor.

Unexpectedly, a soul from the future world was resurrected on this body due to unknown power.

He was born again! Alive!

Resurrection is rare in hospitals, but it is not uncommon. Many patients were rescued after being deemed dead by doctors, and many doctors have become accustomed to this. For the Carpenters, this is a big event. In connection with the religious beliefs of Westerners, the resurrection of Jesus from the dead casts a layer of mystery on Alex.

In the eyes of his mother Angel, his son Alex is as important as Jesus. She is convinced that her son will one day become a big figure that attracts worldwide attention. God has a purpose for Alex to come back.

Angel's ancestors came from the Nordic continent and were Aryans in Germany. She is tall, fair-skinned, and has a golden head. She believes in Catholicism and is very pious to God.

Before eating, she always leads the whole family to pray together: "God, please bless us and the food we enjoy. We also reward you for everything. Thank you. Amen!"

She is very attentive to Alex's education. As long as Alex is interested, she will always try to get him. She tried to tap Alex's talents and constantly taught Alex various knowledge. Alex has never let her down, as long as Angel teaches it once, Alex will be able to fully grasp it.

After being reborn, Alex did not realize that he had any benefits of the so-called traverser. He is just healthier and stronger than ordinary children, and he has a particularly good memory, and he can remember everything just by seeing it.

In this new family, Alex's favorite is Angel. As a rebirth, he feels the maternal love he once had in Angel. He felt a little weird at first, and he was very uncomfortable with his new identity. Gradually, I get used to it. People are the product of the environment. When the environment is changed, people will change accordingly.

As for father Bart, he spent much less time on Alex. Usually, Bart has to go to work in the factory, and when he returns, he will indulge in the music he likes. Bart likes to listen to beautifully tuned music and has collected a lot of records.

When Bart is playing music, Alex is also listening. He has come to this information-poor era, and he can only get a little enjoyment in this way. He missed that era when the Internet occupied people's lives, when there were so many entertainment methods.

Alex missed the past life a bit, but he couldn't go back to the past. He can only change his current situation. He has listened to many records and read many books and newspapers. In the eyes of his parents, his behavior is the behavior of a smart child. The more they like this son, they often meet the various conditions that Alex puts forward.

Originally, Alex also thought that his childhood life would be spent in such ordinary days. Unexpectedly, in an accidental opportunity, he finally touched his golden finger.
