Reborn back to 1984

Chapter 1

In the early morning, when the sky was just dawn and many people were still sleeping soundly, the roar of the Hedong lion came from the Zhang family at the east end of the village: "Damn girl, are you dead? If you are not dead, get up and work! I will try my best to pull you up, don't Willing to eat, not willing to wear, and working so hard to pay for your schooling, should I owe you in my previous life? Bah, let me tell you, I don’t owe you a penny, you owe me. Do the math yourself, from birth to birth. Now, how much did I spend in total? Others can’t figure it out, but you, a high school student and a junior high school student, can figure it out after all! If you can’t even figure this out, you’re going to die..."

"Raising you up like this, I didn't enjoy a day of blessings. Instead, I have to serve you like servants, and I'm not afraid of thunder. The ignorant girl, the conscience was eaten by the dog. I knew you were so heartless. Back then You should throw it in the toilet when you are born, so as not to survive and harm others..."

"Other people's daughters go to earn money as soon as they graduate from elementary school, and they can still give 30 to [-] yuan to the family every month. It's good for you two prodigals. You have lived so long and didn't earn a penny, and you still need your parents to earn money." I came to support you, did you break your hands or your feet? I said you are not happy, if you have ambition, you should not spend your parents’ money, and if you have the ability to earn money and spend it yourself..."

"Reading, reading, reading a fart book, I didn't see any benefits, but I spent a lot of tickets. I opened a bank at home! Let me tell you, all the money is hard-earned money earned by the two of us." , In order to study for you, we two old ones have been doing it for a year, from bird calls to ghost calls every day, non-stop, until we die, what will you do?"

Ever since Zhang Xiuqing failed in the college entrance examination, Shen Heying couldn't bear the dissatisfaction in her heart anymore. She scolded people every day, until she went to bed, and her mouth never stopped. peaceful.

Zhang Xiuqing actually woke up a long time ago, but she was a little dazed and didn't want to get up.

She remembered that she was already dead. She died in 2015. She was sick and alone. She died in a foreign country at the age of 49. She never expected to be reborn, and it was back in 1984.This year, she failed the college entrance examination by one point. On the day she received the report card, she cried bitterly and regretted it too much, but instead of comforting her, her mother scolded her endlessly.

The conditions of the Zhang family are not good. Zhang Xiuqing is the eldest, and there are a younger sister and a younger brother. The younger sister Zhang Xiuhong is 15 years old and has just received a junior high school diploma; the younger brother Zhang Xiaofeng is 10 years old and is in the third grade of elementary school.The family is living a tight life. According to Shen Heying, it is enough for a girl to know a few words. After graduating from elementary school, she has already broken the sky. If she continues to study, it will be a waste of money. The family bears the burden, but the two daughters are unwilling, and Zhang Lingen does not agree.

Zhang Xiuqing is smart and eager to learn, with very good grades. She has always been ranked among the top three in her grade. The first female college student in the village, she didn't know she didn't pass the exam.Zhang Lingen felt so depressed that he drank alone that night. After getting drunk, he tore off all the certificates on the wall, and tore them into pieces one by one.

Zhang Xiuqing burst into tears, she regretted it so much that her intestines were green.If she can keep her heart, ignore Shen Anlin, and concentrate on studying, there will be no chance for others, and the following things will not happen; if she does not fall in love with Shen Anlin, and does not go to his date, there will be no During the meeting, Lin Shuyun calculated that she fell into the river on the eve of the college entrance examination, and she caught a cold and had a fever; if she was in good health, she would be able to complete all the test papers, and she would never faint in the examination room during the last subject; You won't be disappointed, and your life will be different from now on... It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in this world, and there are not so many ifs.

Hearing her mother's hoarse and ugly scolding, Zhang Xiuqing's heart ached like a knife, and tears of regret filled her eyes.In her previous life, she insisted on marrying Shen Anlin despite the objections of both parents. After marriage, she wanted to live a happy life, but Lin Shuyun was shameless. Her husband quickly moved on and often left her and her daughter to meet Lin Shuyun under the pretext of working overtime. One day, when something happened to Dong Chuang, he was caught and raped in bed, and a rib was broken.In the end, her mother-in-law didn't blame her son for not being able to live up to expectations, but instead blamed her daughter-in-law for not being able to watch over men, and tried every means to instigate them to divorce.

In the eyes of outsiders, Zhang Xiuqing, a rural man who married a city man, did not care about sparrows flying on branches to become a phoenix. She was the envy and hatred of many people, but only she knew the real situation.

The Shen family didn't like Zhang Xiuqing at all. Firstly, he came from a poor background. His family had been farmers for generations, with no money or power, and only a bunch of poor relatives; There is no dowry; the third is not capable, a dignified high school student, but he can't find a "decent" job, so the mother-in-law can only retire early and let her take over the job; , passed down to Shen Anlin's generation, and unexpectedly gave birth to a loser.

Zhang Xiuqing has no status in her in-law's family, because her job is better than her mother-in-law's, so she has to hand in all her salary. If she has any complaints, she will be accused by Shen Anlin of being unconscionable. She didn't know that her mother-in-law was unwell until she ran into the chief physician who operated on her mother-in-law after the divorce. , originally planned to retire from illness.

It's ridiculous that I'm a fool, and I've taken a fancy to Shen Anlin, an irresponsible man; but I'm angry that Shen's family is shameless, and deceived me that I have been a long-term worker for their family for so many years.Zhang Xiuqing was purged and left the house. The reason given by her husband's family was that she didn't bring any money with her when she got married. Would she still have to pay for her divorce?
In those days, divorce was a shameful thing, and people pointed and pointed at her wherever she went. Zhang Xiuqing couldn't stand those gossips, and she didn't want to go back to her mother's house to see her sister-in-law's ugly face, so she had to leave her hometown to work in other places. never came back...

"Bang..." Zhang Xiuqing, who was wiping tears, was not on guard, and was kicked off the bed by Zhang Xiuhong who was sleeping on the same bed.

Zhang Xiuqing stood up, only to see her younger sister sitting cross-legged on the bed, gnashing her teeth and looking at herself, her eyes glistening with water.

The two sisters knew in their hearts that Zhang Xiuqing failed the college entrance examination, and the reason why her mother reacted so violently was to prevent Zhang Xiuhong from continuing her studies.

Since ancient times, being the second child has been difficult, and so is the Zhang family. Zhang Xiuhong is sandwiched between the eldest and the third child, and has been neglected by her parents intentionally or unintentionally since she was born. , the younger brother should pick the good things first, and it's her turn to pick the leftovers.

No one is willing to be ignored for a lifetime, no one is willing to be mediocre and incompetent for a lifetime, Zhang Xiuhong's desire to change her destiny is stronger than anyone else, but now she will lose even the opportunity to study, how can she not hate it?

Zhang Xiuqing sighed, lowered her head and put on her slippers.She bought this pair of shoes when she was in her freshman year of high school. After wearing them for more than three years, the sole of one of the shoes was severely worn out, and the upper of the other was cracked.

The dilapidated old house had an indescribable smell. Zhang Xiuqing opened the paint-peeling chest of drawers and picked out a small floral shirt with frayed neckline and cuffs and several wrinkles on the back; a pair of black trousers with a Both knees are patched, and I can't remember how many years I have worn them.

Putting on her clothes, Zhang Xiuqing stood in the morning light and braided braids, recalling her previous life in a trance. The relationship between the sisters began to be cold at this time. Later, she married Shen Anlin and lived in the town, and her younger sister married in the next village. No contact, when the younger brother got married, the two of them completely broke up because of the gift money, and the relationship became worse than that of strangers.Later, she divorced Shen Anlin, left her hometown, wandered around, suffered a lot, recalled the past, compared with the present, and realized the value of family affection.

Time is like flowing water. When you are young, you are hard-working and persistent, and you regard it as a major event like a catastrophe. When you look back at middle age, you will find that it is a trivial matter.It doesn't matter if you take a step back, why bother to fight for the right and wrong.Zhang Xiuqing moved her mouth, wanting to say "there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain", but she didn't say anything.

The sky is getting brighter, and the villagers get up one after another to start their busy day.Amidst the crowing of cocks and the barking of dogs, wisps of cooking smoke curled up over the village shaded by green trees and surrounded by green water.

The mother continued to abuse in the next room, while the father sighed and did not say a word.Zhang Xiuqing walked out of the house, without bothering to wash her face and brush her teeth, walked quickly into the kitchen, picked up the rice washing basket, scooped a bowl of rice from the rice hoard, washed it on the well, poured it into a large iron pot, added an appropriate amount of water, and then went into the stove The hall is burning.

At that time, there were no gas stoves in the countryside, and every household built a stove to burn firewood.There are two large iron pots on the stove, one for cooking rice and porridge, and the other for cooking.An iron soup pot, add an appropriate amount of water, and the residual heat in the stove will boil the water.In order to save firewood, every household has such an iron can.

The weather was hot in summer, and lighting a fire was a hard job. After a while, Zhang Xiuqing was so hot that he was sweating profusely. The sweat dripped down like bugs crawling, itching and uncomfortable.

By the time the porridge was cooked, Zhang Xiuqing's clothes were already soaked, so she didn't go back to her room to change.Although the problem of food and clothing has been solved at this time, the conditions are still very difficult and we cannot be coquettish. In this season, rural people do not know how much sweat they have to sweat a day, and how can they have so many clothes to change.

Zhang Xiuqing walked out of the stove with her head down, took a washbasin, towel, toothbrush and other things, and went to the well to wash up.Standing in the bright sunshine, looking at the elongated shadow, she was convinced that she was really reborn, not just a dream, waking up without a trace.
