Rebirth 1979: Marrying a poor girl at the beginning

"It hurts to death!"

Hearing a loud quarrel, Lin Zhengjun felt a sharp pain in his head and slowly opened his eyes.

The purlins were blackened by oil lamps, and the adobe walls made of a mixture of yellow mud and wheat straw were covered with yellowed portraits of leaders and movie stickers from "The Red Detachment of Women".

"Aren't these the three shabby thatched houses I lived in in Hewan Brigade, my hometown, decades ago?"

Lin Zhengjun was shocked. The scene before him seemed so real and yet so distant and unreal.

He didn't have time to distinguish what was going on. He only heard a roar from the yard: "Tang Xiaofu, don't mess with me!"

"Lin Zhengjun deliberately sabotaged agricultural production and is a class enemy hidden among the revolutionary masses. He must be arrested and taken to the commune for reeducation through labor!"

"What are you doing as a sent-down youth getting involved in this? Get out of the way! Otherwise, I'll arrest you as an accomplice!"

At this time, a voice that frightened Lin Zhengjun came from outside the door: "Deputy Captain Wei, even if Zhengjun is very brave, he would not dare to disrupt agricultural production!"

"If you must arrest someone, then arrest me. It was me, Tang Xiaofu, who watered the wheat seeds and destroyed them!"

"Tang Xiaofu, if you take responsibility for this, then you will be convicted of being the 'child of an enemy spy' and will be sent to jail or even executed! Do you think it's worth it to take the blame for a second-rate guy?"

"It's worth it. I'm willing to die for him!"

Hearing the sound, Lin Zhengjun forced himself to get out of bed and staggered out the door.

In the yard, there was a pile of green and yellow malt.

Dozens of skinny, ragged members waved hoes and sticks in indignation, their eyes blazing with anger and resentment.

"Is it really the 'three work points' that played tricks on me when watering, causing the wheat seeds to sprout?!"

"Who else could it be if not him? He is the granary manager, and only he can go in."

"What should we do? Winter wheat can't be planted after autumn, so the harvest next year will be poor. Can we all just go begging on the street?"

"'Three Work Points' is too evil. Isn't it pushing us into a dead end?! Beat him to death!"

A pretty girl wearing a floral shirt and blue cotton pants, tremblingly holding a sickle, confronted seven or eight strong men holding hoes and sticks.

The girl was tall, about 1.65 meters tall, with a gentle oval face, a pair of big watery eyes, a straight nose, and a cherry-like mouth.

Especially her noble and bright temperament, like a sleeping crabapple in spring, formed a sharp contrast with the stupid and rough country women around her, making her even more breathtakingly beautiful.

Tang Xiaofu!

This woman who made herself feel so guilty that she fell into long-term depression and even attempted suicide several times!

What you think about during the day you dream about at night. Did I dream about her again?

Lin Zhengjun stared blankly at Tang Xiaofu's graceful back, his tiger eyes slowly filled with tears, his heart was filled with knots and he was heartbroken.

Seeing Lin Zhengjun coming out, Tang Xiaofu walked over quickly, held his arm, and asked with concern: "Zhengjun, how do you feel? Does your head still hurt?"

Looking at the exquisite face that haunted his dreams, Lin Zhengjun's heart was filled with endless regret and love. He held her shoulders, tears as big as beans flowed freely, and he choked up and said, "Xiao Fu, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

"Don't cry, don't be afraid, I've told them the 'truth' and they won't arrest you. I'm going to the commune to receive reeducation through labor!"

Seeing Lin Zhengjun crying so sadly, Tang Xiaofu's heart ached and she gently wiped away Lin Zhengjun's tears.

She knew that Lin Zhengjun was very afraid of going to labor camp.

Labor education will be recorded in the file, leaving a stain. In the future, when Lin Zhengjun is recruited for work or conscription, he will have no chance and can only be a farmer for the rest of his life.

This was a devastating disaster for Lin Zhengjun, who had always wanted to escape from farming.

After three years of crazy love, she loved him terribly, and was so infatuated with him that she was willing to take the blame for him and fall into endless darkness in exchange for a glimmer of light for his future!

"Re-education through labor!"

Hearing these four words, Lin Zhengjun looked back at the "August 1979, 8" on the calendar in the main hall and suddenly came to his senses!

Countless painful memories flashed before my eyes like slides.

I'm not dreaming!

I am born again!

Four hundred kilograms of wheat seeds in the granary sprouted for no reason. Wei Shanhu, deputy captain and director of public security, accused him of sabotaging production and brought a group of basic militiamen to arrest him.

In his previous life, he was so timid and cowardly that he let the silly girl take the blame and go to labor education.

And Tang Xiaofu's tragic fate will also begin from here...

"Now, before the tragedy happens, there is still time for everything!"

Lin Zhengjun wiped away his tears, a happy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were bright.

Lin Zhengjun was tall and handsome. He had attended two years of high school and was literate. He was considered an educated man in the countryside. He was selected by the branch secretary Lin Bingde as the granary manager of the brigade.

But because his place as a student at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University was taken away two years ago, he became depressed, gave up on himself, and completely turned into a good-looking but useless second-rate person!

At the end of last year, Lin Zhengjun was evaluated at the members' meeting as "only three work points for one day's work" for the first time!

There were even fewer than those half-grown children, and he immediately became the laughing stock of the surrounding villages. If it weren't for the secretary Lin Bingde's strong protection, his position as granary manager would probably have been taken away.

"You little brat, you're eating your father out of money." Lin Zhengjun can eat five or six steamed buns in one meal. His two sisters are married far away and can't help much with labor. His mother is sick and weak, and his sister is still in junior high school. His father is the only strong laborer. The family suffers from hunger every day and is heavily in debt.

Tang Xiaofu was an educated youth from Yanjing City who came to work in the Hewan Brigade of Qingshan Commune in Huaibian County.

Three years ago, as soon as she arrived in the county, her pretty face, tall figure and bright and attractive temperament caused a sensation in the whole county, and she was named the most beautiful female educated youth in the county.

Countless young men launch persistent pursuit, and countless people become lickers!

But soon, her fatal problem was exposed, pouring a bucket of cold water on the heads of those suitors!

Her ancestors were capitalists, her family background was not good, and her parents fled to Hong Kong. She was a "child of an enemy spy" that everyone was afraid of!

Nowadays, if a family marries a daughter-in-law with a bad family background, they will be criticized and even implicated, so these young men immediately change their attitude and avoid them.

Two years ago, Tang Xiaofu encountered a wild boar in the mountains and Lin Zhengjun came to the rescue. Tang Xiaofu was grateful and noticed Lin Zhengjun, who had a heroic temperament and handsome appearance.

Lin Zhengjun was good at speaking and often made her giggle. With a little knowledge, this bold and daring little tiger girl fell in love with Lin Zhengjun and wanted to marry him...

But when she saw Lin Zhengjun laughing, Tang Xiaofu misunderstood his thoughts, her heart ached and her eyes were filled with sorrow and brokenness.

Doesn't he worry about me at all?

After three years of bitter love, was it just my wishful thinking?

In the past three years, she often came to Lin Jun's house to do laundry and cooking, and regardless of rumors, she took care of the housework like an unmarried daughter-in-law.

But I didn't expect that he still looked down on me. When he heard that I was willing to do labor education for him, he smiled so happily.

After all, he is the only son in the family and needs to take care of his parents.

Forget it. Even if I don’t go to labor education, I’ll still be labeled as the “child of an enemy spy”. One more crime doesn’t matter. I don’t mind having too many lice…

She comforted herself in her heart and smiled with tears in her eyes, "Zhengjun, you should go see a doctor when you have time. I will go to labor education now!"

"Wait, you're not allowed to go!"
