Rebirth 1979: Hunting wild boars and saving educated youth

Ning Yao was inexplicably moved when he heard this. He couldn't help but stop what he was doing and looked at Chen Feng seriously: "So what are your plans for the future? Are you planning to stay in Mashan Village forever?"

Chen Feng raised his head, his eyes met Ning Yao's, and asked, "What if I said I'd always been here? Would you stay?"

He thought Ning Yao would hesitate, but unexpectedly, Ning Yao said readily, "Yes, I have to learn all your skills first."

Chen Feng was slightly stunned, then he smiled, his eyes gleaming with confidence: "You can learn some of them. Let me tell you, I have great abilities. A small Mashan Village is not enough for me to display them."

Ning Yao's eyes lit up, and he said provocatively with a smile, "Don't brag, I don't believe it. If you go to the city, you won't have tigers and bears to fight against. Let's see what you can do."

Chen Feng curled his lips and said, "If we really live in the city, who cares about tigers and bears? I have plenty of ways to make a fortune! Just wait and see."

The two were talking animatedly when they suddenly heard Yaya running out of the room, looking a bit anxious: "Brother, there's a leak in the room!"

Chen Feng and Ning Yao quickly put down their work and followed Yaya into the room.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw rain dripping down through the cracks in several corners of the roof, and several small puddles had accumulated on the ground.

Due to long-term moisture, the walls began to show mottled marks, and the whole room looked damp and cold.

Chen Feng looked up at the roof and said helplessly, "This house hasn't been repaired for a long time, and the leaks are quite serious. But it's raining now, so we can't fix it. We can only wait until the rain stops."

The next morning, the rain finally stopped.

Chen Feng rubbed his sore waist, stood up, put on his old cloth shoes, stepped on the still slightly wet mud, and began to walk around his old house to check.

On the roof, several tiles were blown away by the wind, revealing small holes. Rainwater dripped through the cracks, forming small puddles in the house.

After a night of wind and rain, the already mottled wall surface looked even more worn. The mud and plaster peeled off, revealing the adobe inside, which was heartbreaking to look at.

Although the beams and pillars were still holding up, a closer look revealed that the wood was already somewhat rotten, and sawdust could be found by scratching with the hands.

Chen Feng sighed, knowing that if the house was not overhauled, it might not survive the next plum rain season.

He walked straight into the village and knocked on every door.

He first went to Li Dazhui's house, then turned to Wang Lengzi's, and went to seven or eight households in a row to explain the situation to the villagers. When everyone heard that it was about repairing the house, they were very enthusiastic and agreed to it.

The agreed wages and any extra scraps were given to the villagers.

Chen Feng felt relieved and turned around to rush to the town.

When he arrived in town, he first went to Director Sun to use his connections.

When Director Sun heard his intention, he said, "Okay, your house needs repairing. Let me write you a note. Go to the old kiln and find Director Mao. Ask him to get you some materials. You can pay Director Mao."

Chen Feng understood, and according to Director Sun's instructions, he took the note written by him and went to the old kiln.

Director Mao was very enthusiastic and picked out some tiles, wood, mud and straw for repairing the walls.

After agreeing on the price, Chen Feng took out the money and stuffed it into Director Mao's hand.

Director Mao said, "This is inappropriate. You have to hand it over to our factory accountant."

Chen Feng smiled and said, "Lao Yaokou, I only know you, Brother Mao, and I don't know any accountants."

Director Mao pointed at him and said, "You, you? Fine, I'll pass it on to the accountant for you. Just leave me your address and I'll have a car take it there for you, saving you the trouble."

Everything was arranged properly, and Chen Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief. He thought to himself that this time he must build a solid house so that he would no longer be afraid of wind and rain.

Chen Feng said goodbye to Director Mao and hurried back to the village.

When he was almost at the village, he heard the rumbling sound of a truck behind him. It was the delivery truck arranged by Director Mao, which followed closely behind him and arrived at the village almost at the same time as him.

The village was already bustling with people, and many villagers gathered in front of Chen Feng's house upon hearing the news.

When they saw Chen Feng coming back with a lot of supplies, everyone's eyes were shining with surprise and admiration.

These days, buying things depends on tickets. Chen Feng was undoubtedly a capable man in everyone's eyes, as he was able to get so many supplies to repair the house. He was both respected and feared by everyone.

As soon as Chen Feng entered the door, he was delighted by the scene before him.

Director Mao not only delivered the supplies he requested, but also added half a truckload of broken bricks. This was a pleasant surprise and just solved his urgent problem.

Without saying a word, he first greeted the villagers and exchanged a few brief greetings. Then he directed everyone to start unloading the goods with great enthusiasm.

After working for a while, Chen Feng thought to himself that he couldn't take advantage of others with this half truck of broken bricks for nothing.

He turned around and found a sturdy bag, carefully put the bear paws he had hunted earlier into it, and decided to go to the town again.

When he arrived in town, Chen Feng first went to Director Mao's office.

As soon as he entered the door, he handed the bear paw to Director Mao.

When Director Mao saw it, his eyes lit up immediately and he kept praising Chen Feng for being so thoughtful and saying that he was very rare.

Chen Feng also took the opportunity to express his gratitude for the half truck of broken bricks, and the relationship between the two deepened in this way.

After finishing the business with Director Mao, Chen Feng went to find Director Sun with the other bear paw.

Director Sun was stunned for a moment when he saw the treasure in Chen Feng's hand. Then he smiled and joked, "It seems that the note I wrote is quite valuable. It can actually be exchanged for a bear paw. This thing is rare, so I will accept it without hesitation."

After saying this, the two smiled at each other, understanding each other tacitly.

During this trip to the town, Chen Feng not only repaid a favor, but also further consolidated his relationship with Director Sun and Director Mao, which made him feel more at ease.

After finishing his work, Chen Feng quickened his pace and rushed home.

When he got home, before he even entered the yard, he noticed that the atmosphere was not right.

The villagers who were originally busy stopped what they were doing, gathered in groups of three or four at the gate of the yard, and looked inside curiously.

In the yard, an old woman was shouting and waving her hands, shooing the villagers away: "All of you get out! Get out! You come here to repair a house and still want to make money? You have no conscience! We don't need you to repair this house, get out!"

The villagers looked at each other helplessly, but no one dared to refute, so they had to leave the yard one after another.

Chen Feng was standing at the door and was stunned when he saw this scene.

Who is this old lady?

How come he looks more like the owner of this house than me?

He quickly searched his mind for memories - after being reborn here, he really couldn't remember some of his previous memories unless he thought about them carefully.

The old lady drove away the villagers, but still not satisfied, she turned around and attacked Chen Yufen.

She pointed at Chen Yufen, spit flying: "You spendthrift woman! You squandered all the money my son earned! Look at you, what are you wearing, what are you eating, you don't look like someone who lives a normal life at all!"

Chen Yufen lowered her head and remained silent after being scolded, but she did not dare to talk back.

Yaya hid behind her mother, her little face pale. She clutched the corner of Chen Yufen's clothes tightly and looked at the old lady timidly.
