Rebirth 1979: Marrying a poor girl at the beginning

Nowadays, although individual economic development is allowed, its implementation is much more complicated.

Judging from the traditional consciousness of "promoting the proletariat and eliminating capitalism" of the Chinese people for decades, although individual businesses meet social needs, their development and growth will inevitably become a breeding ground for the bourgeoisie. While recognizing the necessity of the long-term existence of individual economy, it is still necessary to clearly limit their scope of activities, scale and number of employees.

It was not until 87 that the government lifted the limit on the number of employees.

Taking into account the volatile external environment, Lin Zhengjun must not be too ostentatious on the one hand, and on the other hand, he must maintain good relations with all parties and have more amulets so that he can go further and more steadily.

……

Late at night, Lin Bingde's house.

"Zhengjun, we are relatives, why are you so polite!"

Lin Bingde smoked a Da Shengchan cigarette, pushed the Yangshao wine away, and frowned, "Besides, your family is not well off, let's not waste this money, take it home quickly!"

These two bottles of Yangshao wine are good wines, and Peony cigarettes are also good cigarettes. The so-called "Provincial Zhonghua, Municipal Peony" is something that only city-level officials can afford.

Lin Zhengjun said with a smile: "Uncle, please don't be polite. I have money. I sold the hemp candy to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative for 96 yuan and made 74 yuan."

“That’s a lot of profit!”

Lin Bingde was stunned for a moment, then said with surprise: "The money you earn this time can pay off the wheat you owe to the brigade, and there will be some left over!"

"Don't be in a hurry to ask me to pay the debt."

Lin Zhengjun smiled and said, "Director Hao Jianguo of the Purchasing and Marketing Department of the County Supply and Marketing Cooperative said that sugar is in short supply. He wants as much as I have."

"I'll buy some wheat after I finish making this batch of hemp candy!"

"You have established connections with the cadres of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative?" Lin Bingde looked ecstatic.

If you have a good relationship with the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, then when you plant wheat in the fall, you won't have to worry about the scarce agricultural supplies such as wheat seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, sprayers, etc.

"I still have a lot of malt growing, I plan to cook it all!"

Lin Zhengjun smiled and said, "But I don't have any corn at home, and I'm too lazy to go to the grain station to buy some. The procedures and transportation are troublesome, so I plan to borrow 500 kilograms of corn from your family!"

"I support you. When you sell the corn, you can buy 500 kilograms of corn and pay me back. Or you can just pay me back directly!" Lin Bingde said readily.

"Thank you, Secretary."

Lin Zhengjun smiled and said, "You have helped me so much, you must accept these two bottles of wine and two packs of cigarettes, otherwise, I will feel so guilty."

"Okay, I'll take it!"

Lin Bingde stroked the glass bottle and smiled: "Yangshao is a good wine. The last time I drank it was with the director of the commune. I usually drink a lot!"

After borrowing the corn, the family immediately took it to the mill to grind it into grits, and then started making the second batch of malt sugar.

This time, my parents also took leave to help at home. Lin Zhengjun was basically only responsible for frying, folding and pulling sugar, and his speed was much faster.

Three days later in the morning, another batch of malt sugar was completed, and another 300 kilograms of malt sugar was freshly produced.

"How do we transport so much sesame candy to the county town?" Lin Sanhuai said, "It's three hundred kilograms. It's not very stable to ride a bicycle."

"I'll borrow the brigade's tractor to take it over."

Lin Zhengjun thought he had riding skills comparable to Odebiao's, but this time he wanted to take Tang Xiaofu into the city with him, and there was no room on his bicycle.

"Then you have to fill up the tractor with gas, which is quite expensive. How about taking a mule cart?" Zhang Shuqin said with concern.

"The mule cart is too slow. I want to take half a day to take Xiaofu to buy some clothes and shoes, buy a few books, and watch a movie." Lin Zhengjun said with a smile.

"What? You even took me to buy books and watch movies..." Tang Xiaofu's face suddenly showed surprise.

Although she decided to settle down in the countryside, she grew up in a big city after all, and she likes city life and also longs for a rich spiritual world.

But these days, people in the countryside can’t even get enough to eat, so who would buy books?

If you spend money to buy a few books to read, the members will not think that you are thoughtful and cultured. They will only think that you are spending money recklessly and not doing your job properly.

She felt that she had made the right choice in choosing Lin Zhengjun. He was probably the only one in the entire Qingshan Commune who truly understood her.

"Then let's borrow a tractor!" The two elders didn't insist anymore.

They feel sorry for their future daughter-in-law. If a girl from a big city is willing to marry into their family, it would be a downgrade, so how could they let her suffer any more?

……

Because it was the slack season, the tractor was temporarily idle. Lin Zhengjun gave him two yuan for gas, not taking advantage of the team at all. Lin Bingde waved his hand and let him drive the tractor away.

Well, by the way, Lin Zhengjun also has a tractor driver's license. When he just graduated from high school, he went to the county agricultural machinery station to take the test with the support of Lin Bingde.

But Wei Shanhu still used his family background as an excuse and did not allow him to be a tractor driver!

In fact, the descendants of the landlord class of the Lin family are very aggrieved. By the time of Lin Zhengjun's generation, they are already five generations away and have nothing to do with Lin Zhengjun.

But Wei Guoliang originally wanted to complete the task of class struggle and also to afflict the Lin family. He put a hat on their family and suppressed them so that they could not raise their heads.

Lin Zhengjun drove the tractor back home, and everyone loaded the maltose together.

Tang Xiaofu sat on a small stool in the truck bed, while Lin Zhengjun cranked the engine, sat in the driver's seat, and headed towards Huaibian County.

I drove the tractor onto the dirt road on the river bank and saw from afar a few friends catching fish and fishing for eels in the river bend.

"Commander Lin, you are so bold that you actually stole the collective asset, the tractor!"

A dark-skinned young man looked at Lin Zhengjun and said jokingly.

"Chief of Staff Wei, your legs are still there. It's really not easy to see you jumping around like that!" Lin Zhengjun stopped the tractor and laughed at the top of his voice.

The young man's name is Wei Hongbing. His ancestors have been making wine for generations, and he has also learned the family craft.

Sweet potatoes, sugar canes, and wild fruits can all be turned into wines of various styles with his skillful hands. This guy is drunk all day long, and people nicknamed him "Si Mi Deng".

He was from the Wei clan, but he and Wei Shanhu were five generations apart. As they were both second-rate people, he had a very good relationship with Lin Zhengjun.

"?!"

Wei Hongbing glared at him: "My legs are fine. I can fly over the grass and catch a rabbit. I, the chief of staff, was just planning to give you 20 yuan of military funds to buy wheat seeds to help you through this difficult time, but you actually cursed me!"

Complaining all the way, he walked up to the river bank, took out two big unity notes from his trouser pocket, and handed them to Lin Zhengjun: "Take it, we collected this from the brothers!"

Twenty dollars was a lot of money at that time, enough to marry a wife.

Lin Zhengjun was slightly stunned, then smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Forget it, it's not easy for you to steal some pocket money, I'll find a way myself!"

"Stop pretending. What else can you do? Aren't you still borrowing money from everywhere?" Wei Hongbing said.

"Yeah, just take it!"

"When you marry Tang Zhiqing, you can't have a shabby wedding. We will help you find a way to raise money."

"That's right, she's so beautiful, you're really marrying up!"

A few friends thought Lin Zhengjun was being polite and started to persuade him.

"It's just a few hundred kilograms of wheat seeds! What's the big deal?"

Lin Bingde's grandson, Lin Tiedan, was tall and strong, with a muscular body. He suddenly said fiercely: "Wei Shanhu is so bold that he dared to use force on our commander Lin. We drank too much and fell asleep at Chief of Staff Wei's house that day. Otherwise, we would have killed him!"

The older members look at family background and working ability, but these rascals don't care about that. They are all second-rate guys, so why would they look down on each other?

Lin Zhengjun is playful and eloquent, and Tang Xiaofu is pretty. They have never looked down on Lin Zhengjun and Tang Xiaofu.

Lin Tiedan, Zhao Laipi, Wu Shuanzhui... Looking at these strange yet familiar faces, Lin Zhengjun's heart was filled with mixed emotions.

Hewan Brigade is composed of Hewan Village and two other adjacent natural villages, with a total of five or six surnames.

These friends are all childhood friends of Guangbin and Lin Zhengjun. They formed a pure friendship that lasted their lives.

In the summer of 1980 in his previous life, heavy rains fell, the dam upstream collapsed, and mountain torrents broke out. Not only did Tang Xiaofu die, but while they were searching for Tang Xiaofu and carrying out disaster relief operations, some of them were injured by the mudslide, leaving them with lifelong disabilities and illnesses.

A few years later, his mother passed away. Lin Zhengjun happened to be away from home to make a living. They pooled money to buy a coffin, helped with the funeral, and kept vigil and carried the coffin for his mother.

During the years when Lin Zhengjun went out to make a living, only Lin Sanhuai was left to look after the house. They took care of him, treated him and prescribed medicine for him...

Lin Zhengjun secretly made up his mind that in this life, he would not only change the fate of Tang Xiaofu and her family and prevent tragedy from happening, but also lead them to success and wealth.

"Don't worry about the wheat seeds. I have a plan!"

Lin Zhengjun collected his thoughts, calmed himself, quickly changed the subject, and asked with a smile: "Chief of Staff Wei, how was the result of the bandit suppression today?"
