Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 97
In 1979, it was the last year of the lunar calendar and there were 384 days in leap June.

According to the Gregorian calendar, January 1 is New Year’s Eve.

Non-local students from various schools in the capital started their journey home early. Li Jiankun was considered slow and only set off on the 15th, alone.

Zhong Ling originally wanted to wait for him, but seeing that he never mentioned the specific date, she couldn't wait any longer, so she had to go back first.

Xu Qingyou followed suit.

Li Jiankun felt at ease.

The reason why he came back so late was naturally because he was busy building a house. There were more trivial matters than he imagined and they had to be finalized.

If you are tired now, you will be more relaxed when the new year comes. Maybe it will be almost completed by the time it comes.

There are a few rows of bungalows on the left and right, which is not too strenuous.

BJ East Station.

In an era without Spring Festival travel, this year it was overcrowded.

"Dad! Mom!"

"Big brother, big brother, here, here!"

"Oh my God! Is my Jun son so tall?"

"Woooo~ Mom, I'm back, I'm back!"

Various shouts and tears of joy were heard in his ears, intertwined together, and Li Jiankun was filled with emotion.

Young men and women dressed in local clothes can be seen everywhere in front of them, as well as ordinary people from the capital who come to pick up the car.

History plays out again.

This time he saw it right.

The educated youth are back in town!
There were many people walking along the platform, crying, looking for their children - whom they no longer recognized.

"Xiao Fei! Are you my Xiao Fei?"

An aunt grabbed Li Jiankun's arm and asked with hope.

Li Jiankun smiled and shook his head.

The latter apologized, with a face full of disappointment, turned around and shouted loudly, "Xiaofei! Yao Xiaofei! My child, mom is here..."

Li Jiankun let out a long sigh, raised his wrist and looked at it. He stopped lingering and walked to the other side of the platform, waiting for the upcoming green train.

"Sewage!"

On the train leaving Beijing, there were not many people, everyone had their own seats.

Most of them are cadre-like people who don't smile.

Li Jiankun was not in the mood to talk to anyone, so he slept, read, and ate.

Just endure it.

Two days later, the train arrived at Haizhou Station.

Before he passed the exit, Li Jiankun saw two heads, one tall and one short.

"Jiankun!"

"This way, this way!"

Li Jiankun had seen it a long time ago and laughed and scolded: "I'll let you wait in the county. You have to come here."

Make it as if you have a car to pick you up.

Li Jianxun took his luggage and found two handbags with the word "BJ" printed on them.

Although I don’t have much money left in my pocket, I still have to bring some fun things to my family after spending a year in the capital.

I took some time to visit Xidan and Wangfujing a few days ago.

Xiao Wang rushed up to him and gave him a bear hug. He was extremely excited. After leaving, he kept exchanging glances.

That look seems to be saying "Don't forget what you said"!
Li Jiankun naturally remembered it. It seemed that this boy had decided to go to the capital with him at the beginning of the new year.

Okay, this is the time to employ people.

The three of them made a fuss all the way to the city passenger terminal. After buying the tickets, they had a meal at the state-owned restaurant outside.

After waiting for more than two minutes, the minibus bound for their Wanghai County finally departed.

After an hour of bumpy driving, it was already mid-afternoon when we returned to the county.

After Li Jiankun got out of the car, he took a deep breath of air.

There may not be any difference, but psychologically, there is indeed a so-called home atmosphere.

As soon as they left the county bus station, a good show was going on on the street, which made the three of them stop at the same time.

Both sides of the road were lined with people watching like them.

I saw more than a dozen tractors lined up in a long queue, driving at the slowest speed through this busiest street in the county.

Each tractor is wearing a big red flower on the front, and banners are hung on both sides of the truck:

"The focus of all work must shift to the economy!"

"Revitalizing the economy means serving the country!"

"A money-making expert deserves respect!"

"The masses should learn from these capable people!"

...

In the back of the tractor, there were five or six people poking around, all wearing red and flowers.

Gee!

This scene gave Li Jiankun a sense of déjà vu.He already understood what he was doing, and the county had taken great pains to do it. They acted so fast. He had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

Reform and opening up first started in rural areas.

These talented people in the back fight are obviously money-making experts from various places and communes.

"My dad is in there too."

Wang Shanhe said softly.

Li Jiankun followed his line of sight.

Hey!
But no, Lao Wang was stuck in the back of a tractor in the middle, his face full of embarrassment.

"I came up here with my dad this morning. Today we are holding a commendation meeting for the county's economic experts."

Xiao Wang still kept his voice low, for fear of being heard by the people around him.

Why?

Even though the county promoted it so grandly, the people didn't buy it. Not to mention applause on the street, not even a smiling face could be seen.

What's more, Chi Guoguo spit on the ground.

It’s also a matter of ideas.

In this era, the word "respect" has nothing to do with the rich. No matter how comfortable their own lives are, when they go out, they are a vulnerable group.

Discriminated by society and spurned by the common people.

Two reasons:

First, many of the talented people in the back of these tractors were famous thorns in the past!Not doing his job properly, not keeping his duty, or simply being a second-rate person.

Secondly, the slogan of collective family and equality for all has been chanted for so many years and is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.And these guys in front of me got rich first secretly!
Looking at the tractor, there were faces with different expressions, but all of them were a little embarrassed.

guess what?

Li Jiankun rubbed his head. His enlightened brain came up with another money-making idea.

It's still an idea that is worth two or eight hundred dollars, and it's a waste of money.

Isn’t this just a case of running out of money?

He thought about it, if this thing could be done, everyone would be happy, and if he made money from others, they would still have to thank him. Do you believe it?
"Hey! Jiankun!"

The tractor Lao Wang was on came over and found Li Jiankun.

I immediately wanted to rush down, but I didn't want to stay for a long time. I was really suffering, but I was held back by the people next to me.

The county's arrangements are not easy to mess up.

"Jiankun, why don't you come over to play at home tomorrow? Let's have a drink together!"

"Okay, Uncle Wang, continue your majesty!"

"What's the harm to this child?"

The bicycles were locked in the shed outside the passenger station. Not long after, Biaozi carried Li Jiankun, and Wang Shanhe jumped on the bicycle and rushed towards the countryside.

Return to Shitouji.

Wang Shanhe stopped the car and said, "Jiankun, you just came back and your family was reunited. I won't go there today."

Li Jiankun didn't force himself. He jumped out of the car, took something out of a handbag and stuffed it in.

"Did you bring me something?"

Xiao Wang was surprised.

"As I say, no one can forget you."

Li Jiankun waved his hand and joined Biaozi.

The gift was not big. It was contained in a simple wooden box that was as big as a palm. Wang Shanhe opened it on the spot. It was an old jade pendant with a carving of a pig.

Like Li Jiankun, he was born in 59 and is a Pig.

This jade is quite old. If Li Jiankun hadn't been deceived, it would be a serious antique.

As for the Li brothers, as soon as the [-]th pole entered Qingxidian, the whole commune became excited.

Their college students studying in the capital are back!

In the dilapidated houses, the members rushed out.

"Jiankun!"

"Jiankun is back."

"Jiankun, how about the capital city?"

"How long can you stay back home during the Chinese New Year?"

As those cordial greetings fell upon his ears, Li Jiankun felt relaxed and felt a sense of solidity that he had not felt outside for a year.

He brought two large front doors and a bag of orange-flavored gummy candies to hand out to everyone.

At this time, at the east end of Qingxidian, three women, two large and one small, were running past.

There was a very thin man hanging from behind.

"Second brother! Second brother!"

Yo!
Li Jiankun glanced at him, he had to keep some distance and time, the little monkey knew he was thinking about it this time.

"Jiankun!"

"Sister! Mom!"

The lazy Guifei guy hanging behind looked unhappy, where's dad!Where's dad!
