Reborn 1980

Mo Bei put on his clothes and went out to open the door. After a while, he brought someone into the house.This person is Xiaobin’s father.

Xiaobin's father used to have a dark complexion, but today his complexion was not good-looking. When he passed under the dim fifteen-watt light bulb in the room, he could see that his complexion was gray and tired.

With trembling hands, he took out a neatly folded newspaper from the inner pocket of his clothes.

There was 50 yuan wrapped in the newspaper.

"Here is 50 yuan. For the rest of the compensation, I will come once a week and pay back 50 yuan each time."

Gu Anran frowned. If he can't get the money now, will he be able to get the money in a week?Gu Anran's suspicious eyes stayed on Xiaobin's father's face for a while, then he took the money and put it under his nose and smelled it.

Sure enough, the money smelled like disinfectant.

The smell of disinfectant in hospitals these days is very strong, and everyone who has been to the hospital and comes back will be tainted with that smell to some extent.

The smell of Xiaobin's father was diluted by the cold wind, but since he had the money in his pocket, the smell was still strong.

So his face was not very good and his hands were slightly twitching. Did he go to the hospital to sell blood?

He said that the remaining money would be repaid once a week, so he would sell blood once a week?At such an old age, he is still alive?

She wanted Xiaobin's mother to learn a lesson, but she didn't want anyone's life.

"You don't have to pay back 50 yuan every week. Let's pay [-] yuan every year. On the eve of the Spring Festival every year, I will pay [-] yuan until I pay back [-] yuan."

Paying back 50 yuan every year means that for an ordinary peasant family, life is more compact and they can save 50 yuan by the end of the year.It would not force them to sell blood, but it would also put some pressure on Xiaobin's mother.

"Every year?" Xiaobin's father was very surprised and asked again worriedly, "Is it okay? Is it written like this in the judgment? Can I pay back fifty slowly every year?"

Gu Anran shook his head, "The verdict says it will be given once, but I know you can't afford it, so give it slowly."

Xiaobin's father tilted his head and exhaled, and his whole body relaxed slightly.

……

Mo Bei was a little worried that once he left home, no one would be able to find out in time if there was another burglar in the house at night.

Although the wall has been raised a bit, the little thieves are very agile and can still climb over the wall with some ropes and other things to use for strength.Raising the wall height can also prevent stupid and lazy thieves.

So before Gu Anran and Mo Bei returned to the city, in order to calm down the family and stop the thieves from worrying about them, the family acted out a scene in which a burglar broke into the house at night and the two rhubarb sticks were lost.

In the morning, when people were going to the fields, Wang Shuzhen stood in front of her house and cried. When the villagers saw this, they came forward to ask. She cried sadly and said: "The two rhubarb bars that the children have worked hard for several months were broken open last night." The thief who came in stole it! What to do! Ahh! That is all the children’s belongings!”

When they heard that the Mo family's rhubarb bars were lost, the villagers' mentality became more balanced. Everyone is so poor, why is your family so rich?Now that you are like everyone else, you will no longer be jealous and excluded.

The passing villagers comforted her with a few words of sympathy, "As long as everyone is well, it will be fine. If the money is gone, you can make more money."

Wang Shuzhen sighed with runny nose and tears, "It's easy to say, how can money be earned so easily? Those two rhubarb sticks are the second child. They happened to help a nobleman in the city, so that nobleman Talent gave me those two rhubarb sticks, is it possible for me to meet this noble man every day?"

At this time, Mo Bei and Gu Anran came from a distance. Wang Shuzhen greeted them excitedly and asked, "How is it? Have you reported the crime? What did the police say? Can you find them?"

Mo Bei's lowered head shook listlessly.

Wang Shuzhen said "Ouch", grabbed Gu Anran's hand and shook it, "So there's nothing the police can do, right?"

Gu Anran's eyes were red, and before he could speak, tears rolled down like broken pearls.

"Mom..." Gu Anran leaned on Wang Shuzhen's shoulder, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sobbed, "Mo Bei and I are also discussing to build a house for you after the New Year! To build a three-story villa, our whole family will Living together is over now! There is nothing left!"

Even Mo Guangshen and his wife, who sell goods in a shop in the town, look gloomy and sigh. When someone asks why they seem to be in a bad mood, they will say: "My brother's hard-earned two rhubarb sticks were spent last night." Stolen."

The whole family acted so vividly that they successfully deceived everyone with their acting skills.

These two rhubarb sticks have been the focus of attention in several nearby villages recently, and anything about them will be spread by word of mouth.

But within one morning, the news spread throughout the nearby villages.

All the thieves who climbed over the Mo family wall regretted: If I had been gentler at that time, maybe this big yellow strip would be mine!I don’t know whose pocket it is now!well!

The people whose jealous eyes turned blue at first closed the door and jumped happily in the room: Throw it away!Deserve it!

……

After having dinner at home at noon, Gu Anran and Mo Bei said goodbye to their parents and walked to town.

Her car was still stored in a parking lot in the town. She was driving back during the New Year trip. The road into the village from the town was a mountain road and the car couldn't be driven in, so she had to park the car in the town.

The snow that fell last time has not completely melted, and the road surface is uneven, making it slippery when walking. She almost split her head several times. Fortunately, Mo Bei held her hand tightly, every time she was about to fall. , his powerful arms would pull her back steadily.

"If you want to be rich, build roads first. It seems that this sentence is correct." Gu Anran stopped and looked at the bumpy road in front of him and remembered this sentence he heard when he was a child.

"Well." Mo Bei looked back at the mountains, "Last year when the dogwood harvest was good, we would hire many tractors from around every day to transport the goods to the town bit by bit. When the tractors walked along this mountain road, Bumps and collisions on the road will cause them to fall and break a lot of fresh fruits, causing a lot of damage. If the road is easy, the trucks that come to pull goods can drive directly to the foot of the mountain, which can save a lot."

"Yes." Gu Anran also looked at the mountain, with a bitter smile on his face, "My original plan included building roads. I want to build roads, open a pharmaceutical factory at the foot of the mountain, and build a building on the mountain. There are two cable car lines, one is used to transport employees and medicinal materials on the mountain, and the other will be used to develop tourism in the future. But now, I am hesitant..."

"Why are you hesitating? I support you in whatever you want to do."

"Let's go back to the city and see," Gu Anran shrugged, "I have to see what happens after Jiang Leng acquires Ji Yulin's pharmaceutical factory. If he really wants to be the only pharmaceutical factory in Nancheng, there is no need for me to fight with him. He is tough up front, but he can't be tough even if he wants to be tough."
