My 1979

Li He trembled, looking into the distance with surprise, and then looked at the sky blankly...

The fierce sun set the ground on fire, and the sky was so hot that it made people feel suffocated.

Rebirth, he was actually reborn. Looking at the dilapidated mud houses behind him, he still couldn't believe it.

But the calendar on the wall does indeed show: July 11, 1979.

This calendar is the only new thing in the house.

He just went out to meet an old friend, drank some wine, and took a nap in the hotel. When he woke up, he somehow ended up sitting at the door of the old house in his memory with an 18-year-old body.

He had annual physical examinations and was in good health. How could he die like this?

What to do with the mother in that world, what to do with the wife and children, thinking about it felt like being suffocated in water, so suffocating that he couldn't breathe.

With a rich net worth, his fifties are the age when he is full of ambition, full of children and grandchildren, and enjoys family happiness. He usually takes his wife to plant flowers and walk the dog, which is very comfortable.

Tears slowly poured out of the corners of my eyes. Decades of self-struggle, decades of step by step, were all in vain.

Is this all about reincarnation?

But he has always acted according to his conscience and has never done anything that was condemned by God.

"Aguo, I'll go fishing for eels with you too."

A little loli with a sallow face and thin muscles jumped directly on Li He with her short legs open. This was the youngest girl in the family, only five years old.

Li He was sharpening the wire with a stone. When he saw her rushing towards him, he quickly put down the wire and put her on his shoulder, making her giggle.

His father, Li Zhaokun, was a well-known second-rate man in the neighborhood. He did not engage in petty theft. He was just lazy and unwilling to work in the fields to earn work points. He always said, "Model workers will die after exhaustion."

Such a person who only cares about keeping one person fed and the whole family not hungry will naturally not have a good reputation in the era of production teams.

Her mother, Wang Yulan, has a gentle personality at best, but a bitch at worst. Anyone can pinch her, so she is mostly pathetic.

But the mother, who was just a child protector, borrowed here and there for Li He's high school tuition of 3 yuan and 20 cents, regardless of her face.

Regardless of past life or present, he felt sad and wanted to cry when he thought about this.

The second eldest child in his family, he is now 18 years old. He just took the college entrance examination this year. He was reborn on the second day of the college entrance examination in 1979. If I remember correctly, it didn't take long for the college notice to come out.

As the only college student in this village, it is unusual for him to be admitted to college in such a family environment.

Now he feels that his previous life was quite useless. He went to school regardless of his family situation and failed to fulfill any family responsibilities.

There were five children in the family, and it was a miracle that none of them starved to death. The wild vegetables and cornstarch paste made them all look sallow and thin.

Above him is the eldest sister Li Mei, who is also 21 and has not married yet, which is unique in an era where early marriages are common.

He didn't get married until he was 26 years old. Fortunately, his brother-in-law was also very ambitious, and with his support, he contracted the fish pond. Life was prosperous, which also alleviated a lot of his guilt.

The third child, Li Long, was 16 years old. He had just graduated from elementary school and went to work in the fields to earn work points. Later, he married a daughter-in-law who had no business. If you say something to her, she will definitely say ten words to you, and the whole family will be in a state of chaos.

The fourth child, Li Bing, was 12 years old, and the fifth child, Li Qin, was only 5 years old. They were both girls. Later, Li and his conditions improved, so that the fourth child could go to medical school and graduate from junior college, and he became an associate professor when he was older.

Lao Wu has been with him since he graduated from junior high school. Although he is a bit squeamish, his business is going smoothly.

My mother and eldest sister were squatting on the threshold rubbing corn cobs.

The third child took the fourth child out to collect firewood. The food had to be divided, and the firewood was also divided.

Corn stalks, wheat straw, cotton stubble, bean stalks, and sweet potato stalks are all distributed. There are many people in the family, but there is no work share for the strong laborers. The wheat straw and rice straw allocated are definitely not enough to burn.

Li He looked at those mud houses that were about to collapse. He wanted to cry but had no tears. He didn't have any courage in life and the courage to start over.

There are seven people living in three earthen huts. It is unknown where Li Zhaokun disappeared blindly. Now only his mother, Wang Yulan, takes the eldest brother, Li Mei, and the youngest child to sleep in one room, while he and the third and fourth children sleep in the same room.

Li He spent his miserable childhood here and does not miss these childhood memories at all. The memory of not having enough to eat and not having enough clothes to wear is something only a crazy person can cherish.

He felt that the task was arduous. He had to change his living conditions, change the conditions of his whole family, give his eldest sister a dowry, and his younger brother a bride price, all of which needed to make money. Not willing to wait a minute longer.

The messy situation at home makes me feel bad even if I look at it.

As the saying goes, the coward will starve to death and the bold will die.

He decided that he could no longer sit still and wait for death, as Xiaogang Village might secretly take over the entire village.

He wanted to try his luck. Just by working in the brigade to earn a few work points, Lao Li's family would never be able to turn around.

I couldn't wait to make money, even if I didn't want to eat cornstarch tomorrow, I had to go to the county town to see if there was a good way.

He lamented that the smell of money was in the air, but for him, the banknotes in his hands were indeed far more important than the fresh air.

He put Yaomei on the ground, stood up and skewered the earthworms on the sharpened wire hook. This was simply a magical tool for catching eels.

Although he didn't know how to serve the dealer, he could catch eels, catch loaches, and fish. Li He was a self-taught master of these side jobs.

Carrying a shovel and an eel hook in his hand, he took Yaomei out.

"Bring the basket to brother." Li He Zhang felt heartbroken when he saw his sister holding the basket in both hands humming as she walked.

"Aguo, I can carry it."

"Well, then walk slowly."

I lowered my head and saw several eel holes. The soil in this dam bank was relatively hard, so we didn’t even need to use an eel hook. We could just pour water directly into the entrance hole. After a while, the eel came out of the exit hole in panic.

He was not in a hurry, using his thumb and index finger at the same time, he pinched out a three-pound eel with one hand.

When Lao Wu saw his brother catching the eel, he excitedly put it in the basket.

There is no pesticide pollution in this era, and there are very few people who eat this stuff. Grandma is such a bear, and everyone is almost becoming an eel fairy. Every now and then, if you can dig out an eel weighing six to seven taels, it will be on the news. Jin, the basket is full.

"We caught so many." Li Long, the third child, came over after sending firewood home. Li Long didn't know why he had been afraid of Li He since he was a child and never dared to say anything in front of him.

"Send these baskets home, bring back the empty baskets, and take Yaomei back. The sun is shining now, the sun is poisonous." Li He looked up at the sky and estimated that it was about ten o'clock.

"Aguo, it's not hot." Yaomei, who was covered in sweat, was still very excited.

"Be obedient and go home with me." Li Long didn't waste any time and directly picked up Yaomei with one hand and the basket with the other.

Li He dammed the nearby river ditch and drained the water. In it, crucian carp, grass carp, and even some bearded fish were jumping around in the mud nests. There were hairy crabs after digging through the cracks in the rocks.

This time I really made a fortune.

"What are you waiting for? Come here quickly, pick up the fish and send it home. The big fish will be raised in water. Don't scratch the scales." Looking at Li Long running over, Li He still thought he was slow.

"Xiaoyu asked the eldest sister to make fish soup for noon, and dried the endless fish." Li He looked at the sweat all over his body, simply cleaned his hands, and took off his shirt directly.
