Rebirth without Regrets

Chapter 8 Rebirth()

Lizhou, formerly known as Suqi County, was later renamed because of its respect for morality and etiquette. It is 30 kilometers away from Xichang and located in the Anning Valley. It is a remote ancient town in southwest Sichuan with a long history.

The prefecture has glorious historical sites such as "the Shu army camped in Xu, the Taiping army built platforms and hung drums, and the workers' and peasants' Red Army attacked the rich and helped the poor." It is a post station on the ancient yak route of the Southern Silk Road. It was Sima Xiangru's mission to the southwest more than 2,000 years ago.

Shendu is opened from Chengdu to India via Yunnan, Shendu is India, and Lizhou is a post station along the way. There are three ancient cities and Neolithic sites in the town, and more than a thousand cultural relics have been unearthed. It is the north gate of Xichang and various

It is an important place for national political, economic and cultural exchanges.

Lizhou is a famous town with special significance in the history of the Long March. In 1935, the Red Army passed through Lizhou during its Long March and stayed here for six days. The older generation of proletarian revolutionaries such as Mao Zedong, Zhu De, Liu Bocheng, and Nie Rongshen all fought in Lizhou.

Life. At the famous Lizhou Conference, the Central Red Army officially proposed the term "Long March", which was of great historical significance, and determined the route of the Long March north to northern Shaanxi.

There are mainly four square streets in the ancient town, forming a well-shaped shape. Outside the town are patches of farmland. The originally lush mountains in the distance were cut bare due to the large-scale steel smelting during the Great Leap Forward, which makes people sigh. On both sides of the streets

It is an antique house. Most of the residential courtyards were built in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. The architectural style is distinctive, mostly brick, wood or earth structures. The streets are neatly arranged, and the commercial pavements extend in order. There are many hanging eaves columns in front of the store shops, and corridors along the street.

It can be walked on. Behind the pavement is often a residential courtyard or a production workshop. Street shops, halls, and pavements are rich in shape changes, and are mostly two-story. The ground floor is equipped with wooden movable paving boards facing the street, and there is a counter inside the paving boards. The backyard houses often have patios and interiors.

Set up flower beds, use patio lighting, and create gentle cross-ventilation to keep the indoors warm in winter and cool in summer.

People mostly live in these old houses, with patios measuring thirty to forty square meters. People wash, cook, and watch TV inside while the blue sky and clouds pass overhead. Women squat or sit on the street to make insoles.

, some even used wooden recliners to lie down and do it, with a dragon gate array on one side. Smoke drifted from the alley, people were washing and washing vegetables in the alley, and some were sitting around... Many elderly women wore side skirts.

shirts and hats knitted by themselves, and some men also wore white cloth headbands. There were various sundries and food on the old coffee table in the canteen, and there were old wooden chairs in the barber shop and a traditional Chinese medicine shop.

The brass handle of the old medicine drawer gleams...

This is almost a paradise!

In the midsummer of 1979, it was May 20th in the lunar calendar, and it was hot at noon. However, because it was the busy farming season, many people ate in a hurry and then went to work in the fields. Not long after the contract was delivered to the households, everyone saw hope and everyone saved enough.

Jiner, I hope to be able to cultivate the land more carefully so as to have a better harvest. In this year, it is nothing to work hard, it is most realistic to live a good life.

Most of the fields in the ancient town are in the Anning River Basin. The land is fertile and the sun is abundant. Whether growing grain or vegetables, the yield is very high. It has always been an important local grain production base. During the canteen-style period, everyone was not motivated to work, but now it is not possible

It’s the same. It used to be grinding, but now it’s scrambling to do it. Everyone is busy with the farm work in hand, while joking loudly. The scene is very lively, but there is no pause in the work. Working in this way, everyone is happy,

Farm work was not delayed at all.

People in this era are indeed very simple and easy to be satisfied.

At this time, a pregnant woman with a big belly, wearing a straw hat on her head and carrying a hoe on her shoulders, staggered over. Seeing this, the others couldn't help shouting: "Afen, how can you get down to the ground when you are about to give birth?"

Afen wiped the sweat from his head, smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, Yunyi is not here, and his parents are not in good health. Do more while you can still do it."

"It's true, Leng Yunyi. You're about to give birth and he hasn't come back yet. You have to work all around the house and outside the house. It's really hard on you!" Aunt Zhang, the neighbor, quickly climbed up the hill, supported Ah Fen and took the hand.

She held the farm tools in her hands and said, "Go back quickly. The weather is too big. Be careful of sun damage. I can take care of this!"

"How can that be done?" Ah Fen said a little stubbornly: "Aunt Zhang, you have helped us enough. You have a lot of work at home, how can I still trouble you?"

"What's wrong? We can all finish your work in a couple of minutes. You're in a hurry, so don't let anything go wrong!" At this time, everyone was trying to persuade them. Some of them were impatient and even put down their hands.

I got busy with my work in Ah Fen's field.

We are all in the same production team, we know each other well, and it is common for us to help each other.

Afen's full name is Li Yuanfen. She is 30 years old. During the canteen era, she worked as a warehouse keeper for the brigade. She is hardworking and virtuous, sincere and helpful, and is very popular in the local area. Her husband Leng Yunying is a township cadre, but he is not in the local area.

He works in Gaocao Township, about 50 kilometers away, and basically cannot take care of his family. Leng Yunyi's parents are weak and sick, and they can't help much except for some trivial matters at home. His two sons, Leng Yunyi,

Zhengxiang and Leng Zhenglin are still young and are in elementary school, so they have to rely on themselves inside and outside, and their life is quite difficult. Since the couple is very popular, the neighbors are also willing to help.

"How can this be so embarrassing? How can it be so embarrassing?" Li Yuanfen quickly wanted to go down to the ground to stop them. Normally, everyone has helped enough, so why bother to trouble everyone again?

"Don't move around, go and have a rest!" Aunt Zhang quickly grabbed her and said: "It turns out that you have helped everyone a lot, and everyone remembers it! But this is not a long-term solution, so let Leng Yunyi adjust it as soon as possible.

Come back well! You won't have to work so hard."

Li Yuanfen held her waist with her right hand and gently stroked her bulging belly with her left hand. She said happily: "It would be great if I could be transferred back, but I don't understand their government affairs. He has his work, and I won't hold him back."

Hind legs!”

Aunt Zhang said somewhat helplessly: "You, you, are so kind, you can handle everything by yourself."

At this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew, causing sand and rocks to fly and dust to fly, making it impossible to open one's eyes. After several strong winds, the originally clear sky began to roll with black clouds, and they accumulated thicker and thicker.

The sky seemed to be dyed black with ink, and the roaring thunder could be heard faintly, and it was about to rain.

"This damn weather is like a child's face, it changes at any time!" Everyone busy in the field complained in a low voice, while packing up farm tools and climbing up the hill, ready to pack up and go home quickly.

"Let's go too!" Aunt Zhang said to Li Yuanfen while patting the mud on her body: "We will do the work in the fields again tomorrow. It will be raining again after a while."

"Yeah!" Li Yuanfen responded. Although she felt a little regretful that she couldn't finish the farm work today, there was nothing she could do about it since it was raining. Moreover, given her current situation, getting wet in the rain would be troublesome, and she couldn't take medicine if she was sick.

.When it rains, the road becomes muddy. If you accidentally fall and injure the tire pressure, it will be serious.

As soon as I stepped across the threshold, huge raindrops began to fall down. At first, they were one by one. In just a few seconds, they became threads. In a few seconds, the threads were connected into pieces.

, the water is pouring down, and there is no breaking point in sight. Looking up, the sky and the earth are hazy.

"It's so dangerous!" Li Yuanfen and Aunt Zhang both secretly rejoiced. If they had taken one step at night, they would have been soaked in water.

"Okay, you're home, and I'm going back. I'm going back to clean up. This rain is really heavy. I haven't seen such heavy rain in decades. Don't let the water rise again this year.

It's incredible. I don't know how to stop. I have to pick up the baby from school later." Aunt Zhang helped Li Yuanfen sit down while nagging, preparing to go home. Her house happened to be next to Li Yuanfen's house.

, I usually come and go a lot.

At this moment, a bolt of lightning pierced the sky and passed by quickly. Soon, it seemed to split the sky into two in the blink of an eye. However, the scene seemed to stay clearly in people's vision or hearts. Perhaps a long time later,

Speaking of this scene, everyone can still recall it clearly.

Then, waves of dull thunder rolled over the head. Just when people thought that the thunder was about to pass, suddenly a loud thunderbolt exploded in people's ears, deafening, scaring the children to cry and the adults too.

I shivered for a while, and then I woke up after a while and coaxed the child not to cry.

"Aunt Zhang, please sit down. It's raining so hard anyway, and you have nothing to do when you go back now." Li Yuanfen was about to get up slowly and try to persuade Aunt Zhang to stay, but she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach, which was so painful that her nerves seemed to be spasming.

Even the strength to stand up suddenly disappeared, and cold sweat rolled down his face.

"Oh, what's going on? Are you about to give birth?" Aunt Zhang was shocked when she saw it, and quickly stepped forward to help Li Yuanfen.

"It should be so. The doctor also said that it is probably just the past few days." Li Yuanfen was in so much pain that it was difficult to speak and her face turned pale.

"Oh, don't worry, I'm going to call your parents-in-law and find Aunt Huang to deliver the baby." Aunt Zhang said and shouted: "Aunt Zhou, Aunt Zhou, come quickly, Afen is about to give birth!"

After hearing this, Li Yuanfen's mother-in-law hurriedly ran out of the back room and said urgently: "I told her not to go out, not to go out, but she just didn't listen. What do you think this is? His grandfather, his grandfather, hurry up."

Boil the water, burn more, Ah Fen is going to give birth." She called out to Li Yuanfen's father-in-law Leng Qingyuan at the top of her lungs, and then said to Aunt Zhang: "Aunt Zhang, I'm really troubling you. Thank you for being here, but I still have to

Please help me find Aunt Huang."

"Okay, I'll go right away." At this moment, Aunt Zhang didn't even bother to grab an umbrella, and rushed into the rain with a straw hat on her head.

The thunder sounded louder, and the lightning struck one after another, as if the energy that had not been released for a long time was released at once. But at this moment, everyone was busy welcoming new life, and no longer cared about this unusual thunderstorm.

Not long after, with a cry of "Wow--", a new life cooed and landed on the ground. The cry was loud and clear, and it was clearly distinguishable even among the thunder in the sky. It seemed to show its identity to the world.

The presence.

After the cry, the thunder gradually faded away, and the lightning flashed twice in the final struggle and disappeared. Soon after, the pouring rain gradually became lighter and stopped, and the dark clouds accumulated in the sky followed the wind.

It gradually dispersed, and after a while, the rain stopped and the sky cleared again, and a beautiful rainbow hung in the sky.

The rain stopped, and people came out of their houses one after another. While marveling at the unpredictable and magical nature, they cleaned up the accumulated rainwater in the corners and on the streets. The children were very happy, and ran to the rainwater, regardless of their parents' scoldings.

Playing in the water, the water splashed everywhere and made everyone wet, but it was still full of laughter.

Is this rebirth? Leng Binghan stared at his big eyes, wandering around, looking here and there, as if he was confirming something. When he said goodbye to King Yama and the Thunder God couple, he was filled with excitement and

When he walked into the Path of Rebirth with joy, he was still wondering how the Path of Rebirth would allow him to be reborn. As the door closed, his eyes fell into darkness. Before he could adapt, he just felt a warm current wrapping around him and moving forward.

Okay, I don’t know how long it took, maybe a second, maybe a century, a bright spot suddenly appeared in front of him. The bright spot was getting closer and closer to him, and he saw that it was an exit.

What will be behind the exit? As soon as this thought appeared in his mind, the person had already passed through the exit and reached the outside. Before he could see the situation outside clearly, someone slapped him hard on the butt. Who is it and what is it doing? He

He said angrily, who is making such a joke? Even if it is King Yama, I will fight against him.

Huh? What's going on? As soon as he said the words, what he heard was the cry of a baby.

He looked around quickly, but the scene he saw shocked him: this was a room that was both familiar and unfamiliar in his memory. It was very simple, except for a bed and an old-style wardrobe with a full-length mirror.

There was nothing else. There were several people in the room, all looking at me and laughing. Wait, the one lying on the bed, a little depressed, doesn't it look like her mother? She also has thick black braids...

Could it be that this is rebirth?

It was like a dream, as if a second ago I was still in the underworld with King Yama and the God of Thunder, and this second I was suddenly reborn in 1979?

This is how we bid farewell to 2008. At this moment, many experiences in the past life emerge from my mind like scenes from a movie. There are joys, excitements, losses, worries, embarrassments, regrets, and regrets.

Expectation... Too many emotions are intertwined with everything, and I can't sort them out, and I keep cutting them. It's really a mixture of emotions, and it's beyond words.

Although he had been mentally prepared for this, and even expected it, the huge contrast in this moment still made him a little confused, and he didn't know what to think at this time.

"Afen, you are a boy, you are a boy. You are so awesome. Others can't even have one son. You have three in your life. It is really easy to have children." A somewhat hoarse voice said loudly, as if he was afraid that others would not.

I know she was the one who delivered the baby.

Hearing this sentence, Leng Binghan suddenly remembered that this person was the famous midwife Aunt Huang. Everyone usually called her like this. Most people didn't know her specific name. At that time, within a radius of ten miles,

She was asked to deliver most of the children when they were born. At that time, people had some feudal ideas that favored boys over girls. She also liked boys, and most of the babies she delivered were boys. This was something she had always been proud of, but

Her family was full of girls, whether they were born to her or her daughter, which made her often depressed. In Leng Binghan's impression of her previous life, although this Aunt Huang was a bit snobbish and vicious, she offended many people.

, but he was very kind to the boys he delivered. Sometimes when he passed by her door, she would always pull him in, give him some candies or some melon seeds and peanuts, and then touch his head and chatter endlessly.

Recalling the time when I delivered my baby.

"Show me!" Li Yuanfen stood up and said eagerly.

"Look, she looks so good. She has a high nose and big eyes. Oh, stop crying. Her big eyes are still looking at me? It's so cute!" Aunt Huang handed the baby in her hand to Li Yuanfen.

, while boasting. It seems that she really likes this child.

Others also echoed, praising the child for his good looks. When he grows up, he will be a blessed person and will become a high official and make a fortune. Grandma Zhou Wenjing said so coldly that she couldn't help but smile from ear to ear.

Li Yuanfen took the child and looked at his nose, his eyes, and his little mouth lovingly. Although she was a mother for the third time, her heart was still filled with incomparable happiness.

This is my mother, my dear mother, I finally see you again. Leng Binghan stared blankly at Li Yuanfen's face, her eyes blurred.

In the previous life, my mother had always lived a very hard life because the family was poor and my father was often away from home. The money sent back was barely enough for my grandparents to take medicine and see the doctor. My mother supported the family by herself. Although she did not read many books, she only cultivated the fields.

They worked hard at housework, respected their parents, respected their husbands, raised three sons, and tried their best to provide them with a better living and educational environment. In the end, the three brothers became talented and became three college students from one school (note: college students at that time)

It is really made possible by the fighting of thousands of troops. Like the local school, there are at most a few dozen college students a year, which is amazing. It is different from the future when college students were all over the streets and they were unemployed before they were employed.)

It became a popular story in the local area. She fulfilled her obligations and played the role of a traditional virtuous daughter-in-law, wife and mother to the fullest. She was well received in the local area. Until all three sons started working.

The situation at home is getting better and better, but before she can repay the favor, the yin and yang are separated. The white-haired person gives the black person a gift. I don’t know how sad she will be...

Thinking of this, he secretly swore in his heart: Mom, I was sorry for you in my last life and failed to do my duty as a son. In this life, I will definitely make you the happiest mother in the world.

"Ah, why is the baby crying again? Is he hungry?" However, Li Yuanfen naturally couldn't understand his thoughts and thought he was hungry, so she quickly coaxed and shook him gently.

"I'll wash the baby first!" Aunt Huang reached out to take the baby again, and washed Leng Binghan's body in the basin that had been prepared.

Although Leng Binghan was very uncomfortable with other people washing his body, he was petty and whispered a few times, but it didn't help, so he had to give up. The water was neither hot nor cold, just right. As he washed, he felt warm all over.

.Perhaps the child's brain has not yet developed well, or it may be that he has not slept since the earthquake, and his nerves have been tense. He felt dazed and fell asleep after a while.
