Rebirth 1979: Marrying a poor girl at the beginning

In the evening, Lin Zhengjun cooked another pot of dumplings, and also fried peanuts, fried cicadas, stir-fried wild duck eggs with chopped green onions and several other side dishes.

"I'm happy today. Come, let's have a drink!"

Lin Sanhuai was delighted. He took out a bottle of Yangshao wine from his collection from the cupboard and took out two cups to pour wine for Lin Zhengjun.

"Dad, no, let me do it!"

Lin Zhengjun quickly took the bottle.

The father poured wine for his son, which showed that he treated him as an adult, but he could not forget the etiquette as a son.

Lin Sanhuai picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Zhengjun has grown up, became a model worker, and was rewarded for his bravery. From now on, you will be the pillar of the family!"

"Your mother and I are both uneducated and uninformed, and we can't help you make decisions. You can only think about it on your own. I only ask you to remember one thing, even if you are rich and powerful, you must be kind to others, not be arrogant, and not bully others..."

These words made Tang Xiaofu and Zhang Shuqin feel sad.

"Mom and Dad, I was not very motivated in the past and caused you a lot of trouble,"

Lin Zhengjun picked up the wine glass and said, "In the future, I will work hard to make our family prosperous and let you and Xiaofu live a good life!" As he said that, he raised his neck and drank the wine.

The family ate and drank for a while. Lin Hongying thought for a while and asked, "Brother, will Ermaita really go to jail or be shot?"

"will not."

Lin Zhengjun shook his head and said, "Director Xu of the commune is not ignorant of the law. He knows everything. It cannot be defined as burglary at all. He just said that deliberately to scare him. I guess he will be released in a few days."

"This kid is so annoying. I wish he was locked up for life!" said Lin Hongying.

"no way."

Lin Zhengjun said: "Even if I persuade Director Xu to discipline him, Director Xu will not agree, and it will leave a bad impression on Director Xu!"

His eyes flashed with cold light, and he said in a deep voice: "But don't worry, even if Ermaitai is released, he won't be able to jump around for a few days..."

Because he knew that the Wei family was involved in a big case involving lives!

This case alone is enough to nail the Wei family down!

However, this case has been going on for several years and is still shrouded in mystery. Lin Zhengjun still cannot find a breakthrough.

……

For the next two days, Lin Zhengjun and his group continued to make sesame candy at home.

Lin Zhengjun was commended, and Wei Hongbing and others felt proud of it. They became more motivated and came to the hemp candy workshop before dawn every day to work, and the production efficiency was further improved.

The wheat and corn supplied by the Supply and Marketing Cooperative in the form of "commissioned production" were continuously transformed into sesame candies and then into new banknotes under Lin Zhengjun's skillful hands.

That evening, a postman came to the commune post office and delivered a package to Tang Xiaofu.

She immediately ran to Lin Zhengjun's house, handed it to him like a treasure, and said with a smile: "I'm giving it to Hongying!"

Lin Zhengjun opened the package and saw that it was a canvas backpack. He smiled and said, "This must have cost a lot of money!"

"What's the matter with money? Hongying is about to start school. She loves studying so much. We should encourage her and make sure she gets into university so she can see a wider world." Tang Xiaofu said with a smile.

"Well, I'll buy her some more stationery!"

Lin Zhengjun felt warm in his heart, and he hugged Tang Xiaofu's slender waist, kissed her on the face, and said with a smile: "Xiaofu, you are so thoughtful!"

"Oh, everyone is here, let them see it!" Tang Xiaofu pushed Lin Zhengjun away in embarrassment and glanced at the kitchen vigilantly.

Seeing that Wei Hongbing and others were concentrating on their work, she turned around and kissed Lin Zhengjun on the face with a blushing face.

Feeling the remaining warmth on his cheek, Lin Zhengjun felt happy and said with a smile: "Xiao Fu, do you want to go to college?"

"I have no hope. I won't go to college. It's good for us to live a good life together in the countryside. I'm going back first..."

Tang Xiaofu's eyes were dim and evasive, as if she didn't want to talk about this topic, and she turned around and went back to the educated youth point.

Alas, this girl has suffered a lot in these years. We have to slowly boost her fighting spirit... Lin Zhengjun looked at Tang Xiaofu's back, and a deep look flashed across his eyes.

In a blink of an eye, it was September 1st.

Lin Hongying started school today and became a second-year junior high school student.

Lin Zhengjun got up early in the morning to make breakfast. He fried some dough sticks and boiled two eggs, implying that he would get 100 points in every subject.

After breakfast, Lin Zhengjun took out the canvas backpack, handed it to Lin Hongying and said, "This is for you!"

The schoolbag is printed with the word "Yanjing" and the Tiananmen pattern, which is sturdy and beautiful.

Lin Hongying was so happy that she turned the bag over and over like a child, unable to let it go. She couldn't believe it: "Brother, this bag is so beautiful. How much is it? Are you really giving it to me?"

Nowadays, the school bags of city kids are basically canvas shoulder bags, while those of country kids are mostly cloth shoulder bags.

Children from poor families like Lin Hongying used a small torn sack to carry their books.

"Don't worry about the price, as long as you like it." Lin Zhengjun said with a smile.

"I like it, I like it so much!"

In the schoolbag, there was a tin pencil case printed with the pattern of the animated film "Havoc in Heaven", filled with a brand new Hero fountain pen and ink. Lin Hongying was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes: "Thank you, brother, you are so good to me!"

Lin Zhengjun smiled and said, "Don't thank me, this schoolbag was sent from Yanjing by your sister-in-law who wrote to her classmates!"

When they heard that it was Tang Xiaofu who bought the schoolbag for Lin Hongying, Lin Sanhuai and his wife looked at each other and their faces were filled with joy.

This future daughter-in-law is so generous. She is not as stingy as those village girls. It would be hard to find such a daughter-in-law even with a lantern!

"I thought so. In our Huaibian area, there is no such high-end schoolbag for sale!"

Lin Hongying immediately hugged Tang Xiaofu affectionately, whispering in her ears, and said with emotion: "Sister-in-law, you are so kind. It is a blessing for my brother to marry you, and it is also a blessing for me!"

"Study hard and get into a good university..." Tang Xiaofu patted Lin Hongying's arm and encouraged her with a smile.

"Yes! I will study hard and bring honor to my family!" Lin Hongying nodded heavily.

Lin Zhengjun smiled and said, "Hongying, if you rank first in the final exam this semester, I will take you to the city to visit bookstores and parks!"

"Really? No. 1 in the school, right? No. 1 in the county, right? I can hold the snail with five fingers, it's steady."

Lin Hongying is full of energy.

She originally loved reading and studying, and never gave up even despite her parents' opposition.

Now that she has received so much material and emotional support from Lin Zhengjun and Tang Xiaofu, she feels full of motivation.

Lin Hongying packed her schoolbag and stationery. Lin Zhengjun paid ten yuan for her tuition and then rode his bike to take her to the commune middle school.

Watching Lin Hongying leave in Lin Zhengjun's car, Tang Xiaofu's eyes flashed with disappointment, and she murmured in a low voice: "I also want to go to university..."

Tang Xiaofu was born into a scholarly family. Influenced by her parents, she has been thirsty for knowledge since she was a child.

She is gifted and, with the influence of her family, she has always been an excellent student since childhood.

In fact, she took the college entrance examination last year and this year, and her scores exceeded the admission score of Yenching Normal University. However, due to political censorship, she, a "child of an enemy spy", was not accepted by even a junior college, let alone a university, which gradually made her despair...

Lin Zhengjun rode his bicycle quickly and arrived at Qingshan Commune Middle School in a short while.

"Look at this girl, she looks like Lin Hongying!"

"No, she is not. Lin Hongying is dark and thin, with thin yellow hair, like bean sprouts. Look at this one, with a white, tender and plump face, and thick black hair!"

"And that canvas schoolbag, we don't even sell it in our county. It might be a new student who transferred from a big city!"

"Look, her family members are riding bicycles, wearing Dacron, and they look like cadres."

When the classmates saw Lin Hongying appear at the school gate wearing new clothes and carrying a brand new canvas backpack, they didn't recognize her at all.

No wonder the students admitted their mistakes.

After Lin Hongying's potential as a foodie was stimulated, she gained a lot of weight in just two weeks, and her face went from an oval face to a round one!
