Rebirth 76: Industrial Internet Empire

In a cemetery in the western suburbs of Yanjing, a rare old man knelt in front of a tombstone. On the tombstone were engraved six characters: Tomb of Beloved Wife Lin Yanyan.

The green stone tombstone had been polished by him, but he was still wiping it mechanically, as if this was the only way to wipe away the dust in his heart, with a dull look on his face and a bit of desolation.

His right hand slowly rested on the word "Lin Yan", and his body suddenly trembled violently. The pain felt as if broken glass was scattered all over his heart. He picked up the half bottle of wine left in front of the tombstone. , he raised his neck and poured it all into his mouth. The strong wine entered his throat, and the pain in his eyes became even worse...

"Ten years of life and death are blurred. Without thinking, I will never forget it. Lin Yan, we have been apart for 47 years. How are you?"

"Lin Yan, I don't know why, but I've been dreaming about you lately. It won't be long before I can come find you..."

The old man whispered for a long time, and finally he became drunk and fell asleep while leaning in front of the tombstone.

The old man's name is Ren Jie, a professor of metallurgy at a university in Yanjing. Every May 5, he will sit here all day long, for decades, without interruption. Here lies the love of his life. It is also a scar in his heart that will never heal. If he could turn back time, he would protect her at all costs!

.............................................

Ren Jie seemed to have forgotten the splitting headache after the hangover, and stared blankly at everything familiar and unfamiliar in the house: some yellowed old newspapers were pasted on the adobe walls, and a few simple and worn wooden beds were placed along the walls on both sides. , the only furniture was a rickety square table with a kerosene lamp placed on it...

"Ren Jie, are you sleeping stupid? You can't drink, but you still have to show off! You used our five-day rations to exchange for the Baogu wine with the fellow villagers, and you drank half of it by yourself. After drinking it, you hugged Lin Yan and cried bitterly. Runny, I think you are taking advantage of this opportunity!"

"Don't tell me, this girl is really sensational, why should I be born to be useful? Staying in this poor valley, the world is vast, and I have to eat one meal every day, why the hell are you telling me? How can we make a big difference?"

Ren Jie, however, couldn't listen to the chattering chatter of several people who had just walked into the room. He murmured to himself: "Where is this? What time is it now?"

A thin-faced young man put down the washbasin in his hand, walked up to Ren Jie and said jokingly: "You got drunk and became a philosopher? Listen up, this is the Xiaping Brigade of Bei'an Commune, Annan County, Honghe Province. Today is May 1976, 5, lunar calendar..."

Reborn?As if he had been struck by lightning, Ren Jie didn't wait for the thin young man to finish his words. He jumped up from the wooden bed, grabbed the skirt of his sweatshirt, and asked in a hissing voice: "What day did you say today is?"

The thin young man was obviously frightened by Ren Jie's ferocity and stammered: "5...May...5th...

Ren Jie pushed the thin young man away and rushed out the door. When he reached the door, he turned back and shouted: "Don't be so dazed, come with me to the commune to save people!"

Ren Jie ran forward like crazy, and the memories of his previous life came flooding back: The cause of the matter was that Annan County was allocated two precious quotas for the recommendation of college students from workers, peasants and soldiers, and one of the quotas was given to Bei'an Commune. From the moment he got this news, Lin Yan was trying her best to get this spot for Ren Jie. In her heart, Ren Jie was the most talented boy in the world. He should not waste his great years in this ravine...

Lin Yan was such a generous and infatuated northern girl. In the two months since she heard the news, she had tried every means to make up excuses and wrote letters home asking for money. After receiving the remittance slip, she dragged Ren Jie there again and again. During the commune run, many gifts were given and baskets of good words were said, but Xu Mingyou, director of the commune revolutionary committee, would not let go.

At the "May [-]th Youth Day" gathering at the educated youth spot, Lin Yan felt distressed by Ren Jie's despairing remarks. She decided to try going to the commune alone again. Finally, on the mountain road back to Xiaping Brigade, she lost her footing and fell into a valley and died. , after the incident happened, Annan County gave all two recommended places to Bei'an Commune in order to settle the matter, and Ren Jie was able to successfully enroll in Honghe Metallurgical College.

Many years later, in front of Lin Yan's tomb, Ren Jie overheard the confession of the female educated youth who had been recommended together and learned the truth...

From then on, every time he dreamed about it at midnight, his heart felt like tearing pain. Ren Jie also thought about revenge, but Xu Mingyou was already a famous real estate businessman in Honghe Province at that time. How to start.

This female educated youth from the Shangping Brigade witnessed the entire incident: Xu Mingyou's nephew Xu Xiaohu was also from the Xiaping Brigade. It was he who drove a tractor to Annan County to pick up the educated youth. She was shocked when she saw Lin Yan, and Bei'an Commune He was the one who revealed the recommended student quota to Lin Yan. How did Lin Yan know that from the very beginning, she fell into someone else's scheme. Lin Yan and Xia Xinyi, an educated youth from the East China Sea in Shangping Brigade, were only their uncles and nephews. prey……

That evening, Xia Xinyi, who had just left the commune compound, saw Lin Yan arriving and followed her back again. She heard that Xu Mingyou's uncle and nephew almost used the same method they used on her, getting Lin Yan drunk and forcing her to submit with a letter of recommendation. Lin Yan, who was too drunk, finally failed to escape from the clutches of the devil. After being humiliated, Xia Xinyi watched helplessly as Lin Yan, who was despairing of all hope and lost his soul, jumped down the ravine...

After the incident happened, for the sake of her own reputation and future, Xia Xinyi did not have the courage to stand up and testify against Xu Mingyou's uncle and nephew. She only used this incident to threaten Xu Mingyou, and got another recommended spot for workers, peasants and soldiers college students as she wished.

Later, they recommended Xia Xinyi and Ren Jie to Honghe Metallurgical College. They graduated, stayed in school, took postgraduate entrance examinations, and went to Beijing together. Along the way, Xia Xinyi did her best to take care of and considerate Ren Jie. One of them was high-spirited and talented, and the other was beautiful. The figures as beautiful as flowers, gentle and considerate, walking side by side, have become the most beautiful scenery in the ivory tower. If it hadn't been for attending an academic conference abroad, and returning home early because I was thinking about Lin Yan's death anniversary, I accidentally heard Xia Xinyi at the tomb. Confession, their perfect relationship of business partners + lovers has made many passers-by envious.

Ren Jie ran tirelessly to the entrance of the commune compound, stopped to take a deep breath, calmed down a little, and then rushed towards the dormitory area at the back of the commune compound.

Just after passing through the front office area, he heard a loud bang from the dormitory area. Ren Jie was even more anxious. He rushed over desperately and knocked open the wooden door...
