Rebirth in 1980, the rise of the golden age

The next morning at 8:12.

Li Youcai and Li Youjie carried their bags, and Chu Xinyan held Duoduo in her arms as they walked out of Tengxian Railway Station.

Took the bus back to Dongsheng Brigade.

When he got home, Li Guanghu was sitting in the yard, picking up the broken hoe.

Li Guanghu was very surprised to see his son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter all come back.

"Why are you back? Aren't you going to have surgery? Why so soon?"

Li Youcai smiled and said, "Dad, the doctor at the county hospital misdiagnosed Duoduo. Duoduo doesn't have congenital heart disease at all. We went to a big hospital in the province to see a doctor, but when they checked, they found that it wasn't the case at all."

"Misdiagnosis?" Li Guanghu was stunned for a long time, unable to understand how the hospital could have made a misdiagnosis.

Li Youcai smiled and said, "It was a misdiagnosis. The experts at the Provincial Hospital said that Duoduo just needs to go home and take medicine. As long as she exercises more regularly to strengthen her physique, cleans the house she lives in, and disinfects it thoroughly, Duoduo's illness will be cured."

"That's good, that's good! God must have opened his eyes!" Although Li Guanghu didn't understand why the misdiagnosis happened, he understood that his granddaughter was fine.

I couldn't be happier.

Chu Xinyan put Duoduo down on the ground, and little Duoduo ran to Li Guanghu holding the two dolls.

Like presenting a treasure, he showed his dolls to Li Guanghu: "Grandpa, Grandpa, look, this is Xiaohong, and this is Xiaolu."

"Oh, grandpa's eldest grandson, you miss me so much." Li Guanghu picked up Duoduo and put his cheek against hers lovingly: "It's cold outside, let's go inside."

Li Youjie, carrying his bag, saw the hoe on the ground and asked, "Dad, what are you doing with this hoe? We don't have to weed the fields right now."

"You've been gone for two days, and I felt bored at home, so I went to clear the weeds in the factory yard." Li Guanghu replied.

"It's so cold, why are you cleaning it up? Just wait until we come back and fix it." There was a hint of complaint in Li Youjie's tone, but he actually felt sorry for his father.

"Why should we wait for you to come back for such a small job? We finished it in less than half a day." Li Guanghu returned to the house first, holding Duoduo in his arms.

Wait for Li Youcai and others to come into the room and take a look.

The cupboard was empty, filled with cold steamed buns and pickled radishes.

There was only half a pot of water in the big pot on the stove.

It's obvious that during the two days they were away, Li Guanghu stayed at home alone and didn't even cook a proper meal. He only ate steamed buns and pickles.

Li Youcai felt a little sorry for his father.

Since Youjie and I were not at home, Dad didn’t even have a hot meal.

Chu Xinyan also saw this and glanced at Li Youcai and said, "You guys go inside and rest for a while. I'll cook first."

"Youjie, I want to tell you something."

Li Youcai grabbed Li Youjie and the two brothers went outside together.

"What's up, bro?"

"Youjie, your sister-in-law and I are living alone outside. You are the only one at home. He has been raising us for so many years. Now he is old. I want to find someone who can take care of him. I want to ask for your opinion."

There was no woman in the family. Li Youcai had thought about finding a companion for Li Guanghu before and had mentioned it to Li Guanghu.

Li Guanghu didn't say it, but Li Youcai could see that Li Guanghu was thinking the same thing.

After they left for the past two days, the house became deserted, which further strengthened Li Youcai's thoughts in this regard.

"Do you mean to find a new partner for our father?" Li Youjie understood what Li Youcai meant.

"Yeah." Li Youcai nodded.

"As long as Dad is willing, I definitely have no objection. But there is one thing, no matter who Dad finds, I will only call her Auntie, not Mom."

Li Youjie lost his mother at a young age. The word "mother" is both a knot in his heart and contains all his nostalgia for his mother.

In fact, not only Li Youjie thought so, but Li Youcai himself also thought so.

Even if you ask him to call someone "Mom", he can't open his mouth.

"Just have your attitude."

"What about you? Is there any girl you like?" Li Youcai suddenly asked.

Li Youcai remembered that in his previous life, Li Youjie had secretly dated someone who was from the Changxing Brigade nearby.

I don’t remember what it was called specifically.

Because their family was poor at the time, the two dated for several years. In the end, because they could not afford the bride price, the girl ended up marrying in the county town.

Now I don’t know whether Li Youjie and that girl are dating.

When talking about dating, Li Youjie blushed. He was a big guy, but he felt a little shy.

Look at my brother.

I can only say that people of this generation are still too conservative.

"Is there a truth or not? You are a grown man, what are you afraid to say?" Seeing Li Youjie being hesitant, Li Youcai deliberately provoked him.

Li Youjie smiled shyly and nodded, answering Li Youcai's question.

"Really? Who is it?"

"From the Changxing Brigade."

It really is the same girl.

Li Youcai felt a little uncomfortable, but also felt fortunate.

If he hadn't been such a spendthrift in his previous life, Li Youjie wouldn't have ended up parting ways with the girl because he couldn't afford the bride price.

"Has it been discussed?" Li Youcai asked again.

Li Youjie hesitated for a moment and nodded again.

Li Youcai laughed heartily upon seeing this: "Good job, kid, you've done great things quietly. You didn't even tell your family that you have a partner. Dad doesn't even know, right?"

"What's his name? Changxing Brigade isn't far from here. Whose family is he from?"

"She's my elementary school classmate, Huang Juan. Her father is Huang Laosan, the production team leader of the Changxing Brigade."

The production team leader is a very important person in a brigade. He is responsible for formulating production plans and allocating labor tasks. He also decides what work each member does. All of these are arranged by the production team leader. He has considerable power in the production team.

"Does his family know about you two?"

Li Youjie shook his head: "I don't know. She was afraid her father would disapprove, so she kept it a secret and didn't dare to tell anyone."

The relationship between these two is still in the underground stage.

But Li Youcai understood it after thinking about it.

Dongsheng Brigade is notorious for being poor, and no one is willing to marry there.

Huang Laosan is the production team leader, so he probably won't agree with Huang Juan and Li Youjie.

But that was all in the past. Now the Li family is completely different from what it used to be.

With money in your pocket, you can find any job you want in this small piece of land in Teng County.

"Youjie, our family is well off now. If you like, just go there openly. I can't say anything else. When you get married, I'll build you a big brick house. It will have three turns and one ring and thirty-two legs. That's the most basic. Then we'll have a three-day buffet and let you enjoy the wedding."

"Really?"

Li Youjie became more and more excited the more he listened.

"Of course it's true. We'll build a new house in the spring."

The two brothers were chatting in the yard.

In the kitchen, Chu Xinyan boiled the dough with boiling water, baked a dozen pancakes, stir-fried a pot of potatoes, fried a small bowl of egg sauce, and washed a few green onions.

After placing the food on the kang table one by one, he shouted outside, "It's time to eat!"
