Rebirth 1978, Wife, I won't go back to the city

After a round of warm greetings, Li Jingshen left the office.

With still a few hours before dinner, he picked up his pen and began translating the papers.

As dusk fell, Li Jingshen finished translating another paper.

He stood up and stretched, then heard a knock on the door.

"Hey, Comrade Jingshen, are you still busy with your thesis?"

Li Jingshen opened the door, Qi Yunzhi walked in, and saw the paper on the table.

He pushed his glasses up on his nose and began to read.

As he watched, he made a clicking sound with his mouth.

“Comrade Jingshen, you are really efficient. In such a short time, you have produced another one.”

Qi Yunzhi sighed and rushed to the cafeteria with Li Jingshen.

The two went up to the second floor. When the staff saw Qi Yunzhi, they immediately greeted him warmly and quickly brought up several hot meals.

Twice-cooked pork, stewed pork ribs, braised fish, scrambled eggs with green peppers.

There is also a tofu vermicelli soup.

Smelling the aroma of the food, Li Jingshen couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

Although he had eaten many delicious dishes in his previous life, in this era, such meals can be considered a luxury.

"Professor Qi, I'm sorry to have cost you so much."

Li Jingshen looked sincere and said that this table would cost at least 15 yuan. The basic monthly salary of a university professor these days would not exceed 100 yuan.

Qi Yunzhi smiled and shook his head. "You are a talented person. You deserve this kind of treatment. Depth of Field, work hard. When we achieve certain results, I will fight for you to raise the translation fee."

"Thank you very much, Professor Qi."

Li Jingshen also smiled and thanked him.

"Okay, let's not talk about work while we eat. Let's try this bottle of Luzhou Laojiao."

As Qi Yunzhi spoke, he unscrewed the cap of the bottle of white wine on the table, and immediately an enticing aroma of wine spread out.

That night, Li Jingshen and Qi Yunzhi had a very pleasant chat.

He drank until he felt dizzy, then returned to the dormitory with a thick tongue.

The next day, Li Jingshen woke up early to the noise of the students.

The city entry certificate issued by the village is only valid for three days, and today is the day he returns.

He must reach the station before eleven o'clock.

At around ten o'clock, Li Jingshen packed up all his things. At this time, Professor Qi also came and sent him to the school gate.

After a series of instructions, Qi Yunzhi handed the royalties and some papers to be translated to Li Jingshen.

On the way home, Li Jingshen was a little excited with the huge sum of 320 yuan in his pocket.

Nowadays, one cannot save so much money in a year in the countryside, but now he has earned so much in just a few days.

What’s even better is that I can do this job back in the village, earn money, and spend time with my wife and children.

Holding the thick stack of money in his pocket, Li Jingshen felt that his future life was full of hope.

A few hours later, the bus arrived in town. Li Jingshen did not take the bus back to the village immediately, but rushed to the supply and marketing cooperative in the town.

His wife and children have suffered so much with him. Now that he has money, he plans to buy more things to reward them.

It took Li Jingshen an hour to finish shopping. He carried two large bags and got on the car back to the village.

When we returned to the village, it was already past three in the afternoon.

The gate to the house was locked. Li Jingshen knew that his wife must have gone to the fields to work and earn work points.

He opened the door and put the shopping into the room.

Looking at the empty house, he smiled bitterly.

As an educated youth who could not carry anything on his shoulders or with his hands, it was a rare treasure to have a house of his own.

Thanks to the help from Jiang Xue's parents and brothers, he can now live a stable life.

Now that he has money, he has to express his gratitude.

Thinking this, Li Jingshen opened the bundle.

He took out a few bags of brown sugar, White Rabbit tea, and a few bottles of sesame oil, divided them up, and rushed to his father-in-law Jiang Guoli's house.

At this moment, Zhang Guoli was not at home. Only Jiang Xue's mother Zhang Cuiyun and second sister Jiang Hua were in the room.

Zhang Cuiyun leaned on the kang, sighing constantly, with a worried look on her face.

Jiang Hua looked at his mother like this and asked nervously, "Mom, what's wrong with you? Why are you sighing all the time?"

Zhang Cuiyun glanced at her second daughter and said, "Did you know that Li Jingshen from the fourth family has been out for the past two days?"

Jiang Hua nodded and said with some relief: "Jiang Xue told me that Li Jingshen went to South City to find a way to make money."

"He can't do farm work, so it's not bad for him to go to South City and try his luck. Maybe he can find a way to make a living."

"After all, he is quite cultured."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Cuiyun immediately became anxious. "Why are you as clueless as the fourth brother? Li Jingshen is well-educated and good-looking, but his heart is not in our Xiaoxi Village at all."

"This time, the village has issued a certificate. I think he probably won't be able to come back."

"No way, I heard from my uncle that he only gave Li Jingshen a three-day note. Besides, didn't Li Jingshen say last time that he would never divorce Jiang Xue?"

Hearing this, Zhang Cuiyun sneered twice: "If men's words were counted, sows would be able to climb trees. How could that boy return to Xiaoxi Village after going to the city?"

"From my perspective, he's probably gone."

"You mean, he's going to leave without saying goodbye? What will happen to Jiang Xue and Tuan Tuan then? He can't be so deceiving, right?"

Hearing this, Jiang Hua suddenly became anxious.

"I asked you to come here for this matter. Li Jingshen will definitely not be able to come back today. Your sister Jiang Xue must be dumbfounded if she can't wait for her."

Zhang Cuiyun sighed and reminded her, "As the second sister, you must persuade her well and never let her commit suicide. Although Jiang Xue has a child, she is beautiful and will definitely find a husband in the future."

When Jiang Hua heard his mother's words, his expression changed. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He stood up suddenly and picked up the sickle on the windowsill.

"If that bastard Li Jingshen dares to run away like this, I'll chase him to South City and smash his dick!"
