Parallel Rebirth 1980

March 16, 1980.

Weather, sunny, north wind, 11℃.

Zhang Qingan was sitting on the stone rolling in a daze. The child in front of his eyes was quietly approaching his old mud house. He was holding a bottle filled with rapeseed flowers in one hand and a broom silk in the other. He was concentrating and careful, for fear of being alarmed.

What.

The old house in front is my own home. It has no electric fan, no TV, and no wireless network. Come to think of it, there is no internet even for electricity.

Zhang Qingan seems to have been reborn in the early 1980s. It seems that this is because the name of the country he lives in is Dahua, and the village he lives in belongs to Zhangjia Village under Changhe Town, Baiwang County, not the former Shuanghe Village.

So this is the 1980s in a parallel world? An era of poverty and poverty... Soul travel or rebirth is a question worth thinking about.

Shopping here is different from the previous life in the 1980s. Although we are still very poor, we don’t need bills to buy things, as long as we have money. Doesn’t this give the second-hand dealers wings to fly in the world?

It has been three days since Zhang Qing'an came here and he was fully prepared. In three days, he sorted out the memory of the original owner. The old man's name was still Zhang Weiguo, and his mother's name was Wang Ailian, but he had two more sisters. The eldest sister was named Zhang Qingping, and the second sister was named

Zhang Qingxi means peace and joy.

He used to be an only child in the family and didn't have any feelings about it, but now that he has two older sisters, he discovered that the old man had the same feudal ideology that valued boys over girls in his bones.

In recent years, the old man has been unable to go to the fields due to coldness in his waist and legs, and Zhang Laoer's family has been having a very difficult time since he was unable to reveal the blame.

In order to survive, the old man found a matchmaker, hoping to find a family for his eldest daughter. The gift was set at 200 yuan. In this era, a dowry of 200 yuan was definitely a big deal in rural areas. It was typically selling his daughter.

The eldest sister is pretty, with a standard oval face. Even so, after the matchmaker asked around, it still took a long time to find the candidate. The person was a man named Li from Changhe Town named Li Zhongqiang. He was not tall and had an average appearance, and was older than the eldest sister.

When he was six years old, he worked in a kiln factory in the town and received a monthly salary of more than 20 yuan. When he saw Zhang Qingping's appearance, he immediately agreed to get 200 yuan, on the condition that he would not give up the job.

Not holding a banquet was a sign of disrespect for the mother's family and would be ridiculed by the villagers. However, Zhang Lao's family was starving to death at that time, so how could they care about this?

A betrothal gift of two hundred yuan is a heavy gift. In this era, many jobs are personally prepared and arranged by state leaders. Needless to say, the positions are scarce. It is only in the past two years that private companies have been slowly introduced to Changhe Town.

But rural people who are illiterate are basically eliminated in the first round. Therefore, it is very enviable to have a state-owned establishment and get a salary every month. Li Zhongqiang’s salary of 20 yuan is indeed enviable.

, but taking out two hundred yuan at once would be a big loss for him.

Perhaps the eldest brother-in-law was dissatisfied with the old man's open mouth. Anyway, since then, the eldest sister has rarely interacted with the family except for a trip home during the Chinese New Year.

The eldest sister is young and beautiful, and although she is beautiful and ugly, she is considered to be a high-ranking person. The Zhang family has not been hungry for two years with the gift money earned by the eldest sister.

Zhang Qing'an clearly remembered that the old man in his previous life loved his granddaughter more than his grandson... That's right, this is a parallel world.

"Don't run away, little naughty grandma."

A shout made Zhang Qingan perk up instantly. He looked at the child holding a bottle and running wildly on the muddy ground with a smirk on his face. Behind the child were three people chasing him with a broom.

aunt.

During the chase, the children stepped into the puddles to distance themselves, trying to engage in a battle of wits with the third aunt. The splash of mud and water made the third aunt behind even more furious. She yelled and jumped back and forth with her hands open.

, the third aunt knew the secret of catching naughty children, and she was very skilled and easily captured the naughty children with a beautiful fake move.

The screams were rising and falling. In the end, Monkey King could not escape from Tathagata Buddha's hand. He was crying as much as he was dancing for joy just now...

March is the season when rapeseed flowers bloom. Children always like to hold bottles against the holes in the mud walls to catch bees. In the past few days, Zhang Qingan has heard the scene of children being beaten and screaming no less than three times because they were broken.

Flowers and fruits of rapeseed flowers that were not originally harvested well.

Listening to the slapping sound coming from his white buttocks, and looking at his little nephew being carried home like a chicken, Zhang Qing'an felt a little gloating in his heart. His fifty-year-old soul seemed to have found a rare pleasure.

It was he who reported the third aunt's letter.

"Sanwa, it's time to eat."

"Here we go"

After watching a big play, Zhang Qing'an jumped down from the stone rolling stone and patted his patched clothes that were not dirty in the first place. After arriving here, he would always pay attention to whether his clothes were stained or not.

In the room, Wang Ailian brought a basin of sweet potatoes and a small plate of dried vegetables to the table, as well as a hard-boiled egg. This is how the Zhang family usually eats three meals a day. This kind of sweet potato is a coarse grain grown at home and costs 20 cents.

The money is enough to feed the family for a day, and eggs cost five cents each. Only Zhang Qing'an, a family heirloom, can afford to eat.

Wang Ailian picked two big ones for Zhang Weiguo, and then gave two more to Zhang Qing'an. Finally, the second sister Zhang Qingxi could choose. Girls in rural areas are losers. Even if you get married and get a betrothal gift, you will still lose money. Men are superior to women.

Concepts are really deeply rooted in people's hearts and poison a generation. This can be seen from Wang Ailian's attitude towards Wang Weiguo.

"Mother Pan gave me the news. Xia Shunshun, the second son of Xia Rongguo from Xiaoxia Village, and Zhou Yan, the eldest son of Zhou Shuimin from Xiaozhouzhuang, are both good. Mom, please get to know them in the next two days and see if these two children are reliable."

Zhang Weiguo put one hand in his sleeve and took a bite of the sweet potato in the other hand. Maybe it was because the cocoon was too thick and he didn't even feel it was hot.

The second sister, Zhang Qingxi, is nearly seventeen, and is close to the age of marriage. Marrying early will not only reduce the burden on the family, but also save food for one person. If the legal age of eighteen is not required to get married, he would have married Erya long ago.

Already.

Zhang Qingxi lowered his head and ate the sweet potato in his hand without making a sound. The words of his parents who ordered the matchmaker were not like the free love in his previous life. Being crazy about love was a treasonous act. It was hard for Zhang Qingan to say anything. He was only three years old when he traveled through time.

Oh my god, I gave the second sister eggs to eat on the first day and she was so angry that she was beaten up that day.

Wang Ailian responded, taking this matter to heart.

"The third baby is not young anymore. Damn it, you should pay more attention when you go there to see if there is a suitable female baby. Make preparations in advance. The baby that the third family Qing is pregnant with will be soy sauce all over the place. Our family's seeds cannot be here."

I'm broken."

Zhang Qinghuai, his cousin, and his child, the squealing kid who was beaten just now, is named Zhang Youfei, and he is Zhang Qing'an's nephew.

"Dad, I'm not in a hurry."

Zhang Qing'an knew that half of the reason why his family was rushing to marry off his second sister was to ask for a bride price to prepare for his son's marriage. After all, Zhang Qing'an is now 16 years old and will be old enough to start a family in two years. In addition, Zhang Weiguo is

I have a son when I am old, so I want to have a grandson as soon as possible.

But Zhang Qingan really couldn't accept selling his sister to help him start a family.

"A man should work hard and start a career first and then start a family." Zhang Qing'an had already planned it. Before Zhang Weiguo could speak, he expressed his thoughts: "When my eldest sister came back during the New Year, my brother-in-law said that there is actually a way out in this town.

I just need to compete on my own, and I want to give it a try.”

"Will your brother-in-law really say that?"

Zhang Weiguo was very suspicious, because he tried several times to arrange for his son to work in the kiln factory through his son-in-law, but failed. Later, he stopped talking about it for the sake of face. After all, it is not a glorious thing for an elder to beg for a younger one and be rejected.

"Well, the work in the kiln factory is state-owned, and there are special establishments that are difficult to enter. However, there are several private factories run by big bosses in the town. I heard that they will be recruiting people until the end of March. By the way, Brother Daofeng seems to be there.

I work in one of the screw factories. If I do well, I can earn more than 20 yuan a month. His family even bought a 28-inch bumper some time ago."

Not all households in Zhangjia Village have the surname Zhang. Originally, there were only a dozen or so households in Zhangjia Village. In the early years of national policy, the village's basic household needs to reach 30 households, so some refugees were resettled here before Zhang Qing'an was born.

Only then did Zhangjia Village become what it is today.

Zhangjiacun is divided into the first team and the second team. The first team all have the surname Zhang, while the second team all have foreign surnames. However, everyone gets along so well that they dare not distinguish each other on this, otherwise they will be led to divide.

hat.

Lu Daofeng is a member of the second team and lives at the end of the village. He is one of the few people in the village who can work in a factory. Therefore, his family is considered to be a relatively good family in Zhangjia Village. They can always eat a few days a month.

Meat family.

Speaking of Lu Daofeng, Zhang Weiguo was obviously stunned for a moment. He was indeed the first owner to buy a bicycle in the village. Isn't it just because Lu Daofeng had the ability? Ever since he got a bicycle, there has been a long line of door-to-door matchmakers. In Zhangjia Village, this is absolutely

It's rare. I've heard that the bicycle costs more than 100 yuan.

If his son can be as promising as Lu Daofeng, the old Zhang family will be regarded as having smoke in their ancestral graves. However, he is worried that his son is not qualified enough and his trip will be in vain. However, he also has expectations in his heart, in case his son is selected.

The old man didn't say anything, but he was calculating in his heart. Who doesn't have the hope that his son will succeed? He is in trouble, and he can only pin all his hopes on Sanwa.

Although the barriers to entry for these privately owned factories are equally high and scary, there are still no opportunities at all.

"It's okay to give it a try. We don't have much time until the end of March. How about I take you there next time I go to the market?"

Zhang Weiguo thought for a while and agreed. He actually hoped that his son could work in the town. In recent years, the crops have been troubled and the harvest has not been good. Many people are looking at the town, yearning for the working life in the city, but they are suffering from no

With culture, they know nothing but farming, and many talents are trapped in the countryside.

The first few times I looked for the eldest son-in-law, I wanted my son to escape his fate in the countryside. However, the eldest son-in-law was only an old employee of the kiln factory and had no qualifications to recommend. In addition, the current state-owned job control is relatively strict, and every position requires a person.

Recommendations are selected step by step.

"I want to go by myself. I have been to Changhe Town several times. I am already 16. I can't rely on you to take care of me all the time. I think tomorrow will be a good day. I have said hello to my eldest sister. During this time

I’ll live in her house first, but it’s not easy to find a job empty-handed, not to mention that now my brother-in-law and eldest sister also have children and have to support the family, so..."

"17, what a hell of a day, you just want to leave this house as soon as possible." Zhang Weiguo seemed to see through his son's thoughts.

Zhang Qingan blinked his eyes and said nothing. It was impossible to change the plan in his heart.

"Forget it, it's up to you. You need money to move around. The mother of the child will give you ten yuan at night. When you go to your sister's place, ask your brother-in-law to help you move around more. He went to elementary school and is a cultural person. If

If there is too much, bring it back and don’t spend it randomly.”

Zhang Weiguo's generosity is a bit surprising to Zhang Qingxi. In the past few years, the family has been unable to make ends meet, and every penny has to be broken in half to spend. I'm afraid there is not much money left for the eldest sister's gift. Ten yuan is not enough for their family.

But one month's living expenses show how much the old man values ​​his son.

I originally thought that it would be great to get two or three yuan, but the plan went unexpectedly smoothly. Zhang Qing'an, who got ten yuan in the evening, felt happy and finally had enough confidence to start the future.

As for going to work in the factory in the town, of course it is all a lie. If there is no system, he may really go to the factory, but he travels to this parallel time and space with the system, so it is absolutely impossible to work in the factory.
