Rebirth in 1980, the rise of the golden age

Old Li's family was building a new house, and many families in the team came to help.

Two large stoves were built in the yard, and Zhang Laoer's wife led several women to help cook.

Cartloads of red bricks and tiles were pulled into Li Youcai's yard, making countless commune members envious. But envy was pointless, as few families in Dongsheng Brigade could afford to build such a house.

Zhang Laoer and his wife followed Li Youcai to make ice cream and quietly made a lot of money. Seeing the Li family building a new house, the couple felt itchy in their hearts.

At night, they discussed in bed whether they should build three brick houses like Li Youcai's family and live in fresh air.

However, before Zhang Laoer and his wife could make a decision, another family in the village was preparing to start building a new house.

It was none other than Wang Xiaozi's family, another family that made ice cream with them. Like Li Youcai's shabby house, Wang Xiaozi's house was also very shabby. Now that spring had arrived, it was the perfect time for them to start building a new house.

Even Wang Xiaozi was going to build a new house, which stimulated Zhang Laoer even more, and he immediately made up his mind to build his own house as well!

One spring, Dongsheng Brigade, which was originally the most impoverished brigade in the surrounding area, suddenly became prosperous. Three families started building brick houses at the same time. All the members of the brigade became curious.

People were talking about it all day long, wondering where Wang Xiaozi and Zhang Laoer got their money.

When some people are happy, others are sad.

The most upset people at the moment are the couple from the old Du family.

Others don’t know where Zhang Laoer and Wang Xiaozi got their money, but they know it very well.

"It's all your fault! If you hadn't done those things, we would have been able to build a big brick house by now! It's all your fault! It's all your fault!" Old Du's wife was not satisfied with just talking, and she started to slap Du Yong.

Du Yong was also very upset.

Especially when he saw the pride that Zhang Laoer and Wang Xiaozi showed in building their houses, he felt as if his heart was being pricked by needles.

Du Yong was already annoyed, and now his wife was not going to stop. He was annoyed even more and slapped her in the face: "Get lost! Now you blame me, when you were a spy for those people, I saw you were quite excited."

"You hit me? You're so brave that you dare to hit me! If you have the guts, beat me to death!" Du Yong's wife was slapped in the face and grabbed Du Yong like a madman.

While other families outside were happily building their houses, the man in Du Yong's family was in a state of panic.

If the couple had known this would be the outcome, who knows whether they would still be so spineless as to betray Li Youcai.

Early in the morning, Chu Xinyan dressed Duoduo in new clothes, combed her hair into a cute bun, tied two bows with a bright red hairband, and finally put a pair of brand new little red leather shoes on Duoduo.

Duoduo is so beautiful.

As Chu Xinyan dressed Duoduo, she reminded her, "When you get to kindergarten, you must listen to the teacher, okay? If you want to go to the bathroom, tell the teacher, don't hold it in. And you must pay attention to the teacher's lectures, okay?"

"Mom, I don't want to go to kindergarten."

"This kindergarten was found for you by your father. Other children can't go there even though they want to, so you must study hard, okay?" Chu Xinyan dressed Duoduo and then put on a woolen coat herself.

After finishing his meal, Li Youcai walked into the house and took out a cloth bag filled with brightly colored wool scarves.

"We've packed up, let's go."

Li Youcai picked up Duoduo and said, "Let's go. Let's take Duoduo to school."

They came all the way to the county glass factory staff kindergarten and mentioned Mr. Wang's name to the principal, who received them warmly.

It is an independent park that is not too big. There is a seesaw, a rotating wheel, and a not-too-high slide in the yard. Although it looks simple, it is rare in this era.

"Director Li, we are actually from the same family. I'll trouble you to take care of Duoduo from now on. This small gift is not enough to show your respect." Li Youcai took out the high-end scarves he had prepared in advance and handed a box to Dean Li first.

"Oh, how embarrassing." Director Li took the gift box with a smile on his face. Just by looking at the high-end gift box, you can tell that the scarf inside must be expensive.

Director Li smiled and said, "Don't worry, the child will be well taken care of here with us."

"Then we can rest assured."

Li Youcai responded with a smile, and continued to take out scarf gift boxes and distributed them to other teachers in the office one by one: "Please take good care of me in the future."

The teachers were also very happy.

"Comrade Li, we still have some admission procedures to go through," Director Li reminded.

"Hey, good."

Li Youcai paid for Duoduo's childcare fees, meals, and some other expenses.

Because none of them were employees of the glass factory and there were no corresponding tax reduction or exemption policies, Li Youcai paid a total of less than ten yuan.

After finishing these things, Li Youcai took Chu Xinyan and prepared to leave.

After handing Duoduo over to the teacher here, Chu Xinyan squatted down and said to Duoduo: "You must listen to the teacher here. Mom will come to pick you up in the evening."

Little Duoduo pouted and burst into tears, crying, "Mommy, don't go! Mommy, don't go!"

The kindergarten teacher held Duoduo in her arms and coaxed her while saying to Li Youcai and Chu Xinyan, "Newly arrived children are all like this. Don't worry, let her adapt here for a while, she will be fine soon."

Li Youcai also knew that most children had to go through this experience when they went to school, so he immediately said to the teacher, "Thank you for your help, teacher."

Ignoring Duoduo's crying, Li Youcai led Chu Xinyan out of the park.

In the kindergarten's office, the teachers took the scarves given by Li Youcai and tried them on their necks.

"Principal, what does this parent do? He is so generous. This is a pure wool scarf from Satellite brand. I have liked it for a long time but never had the money to buy it." A teacher asked.

Director Li took her own scarf and put it directly into her backpack.

"I don't know the details. It was the retired Deputy Director Wang who introduced it. Okay, now that it's beautiful enough, let's put it away. It won't look good if people see it."

Li Youcai and Chu Xinyan walked out of the park and didn't go far away. They hid in a corner and listened for a while. After seeing Duoduo stopped crying, they felt relieved.

"Okay, let's go back to the market."

"Yeah." Chu Xinyan looked back at the kindergarten. At this time, Duoduo had been carried into the room by the teacher.

When we arrived at the old factory, it had changed a lot.

The dilapidated factory building was re-clad with cement, and all the windows were replaced with new ones. There were neatly arranged street lights in the yard, and many people were busy working.
