Rebirth 1979: Marrying a poor girl at the beginning

Facts have proved that Lin Zhengjun was right to hire workers to help. These four people got the hang of it quickly and worked very efficiently.

Tiedan has a muscular body and is as fast as an ox when pushing the millstone. He is faster than Lin Sanhuai and Lin Zhengjun combined.

Wei Hongbing was very clever and it only took him three or four tries to learn how to make sugar, before he was able to do it well, which put Lin Zhengjun at ease.

At noon, Lin Zhengjun did not treat his brothers badly. He made a whole pot of dumplings stuffed with celery and pork. These guys each had two big bowls of them. They were so satisfied.

By the evening of the first day, 100 kilograms of sesame candy were produced.

The rest of the malt and barley of suitable length have also been fermented, and we will continue making sesame candy tomorrow.

Lin Zhengjun estimated that it would take another two days to turn all the sesame candies into candies, and the production efficiency would be doubled compared to before.

"Brothers, it's time to get your salary, two dollars each!" Lin Zhengjun immediately counted out the banknotes and distributed them to several people.

"Commander Lin, this is too much." Lin Tiedan did not take the money and was so excited that he spoke incoherently.

Are you kidding? These days, a third-level worker in a state-owned factory only earns 41 yuan a month, which is just over one yuan a day. An apprentice only earns 28 yuan, which is less than one yuan a day. But they make two yuan a day!

Besides, their work is not hard.

At least inside, he doesn't have to work in the wind and sun like other members who work in the fields.

"This is the labor remuneration you deserve!" Lin Zhengjun said with a smile.

"Well, then I won't be polite." Lin Tiedan's throat moved and he swallowed.

Two dollars was undoubtedly a huge sum of money for a boy who rarely saw pocket money, and it was quite shocking.

"Oh, this money smells so good!"

Wei Hongbing took the money, put it close to his nose and took a deep sniff, then said with a smile: "Can the money earned in a day buy two kilograms of meat?! When I have time, I will go to the commune supply and marketing cooperative to buy two kilograms of fat meat for my grandma to satisfy her craving."

"Why go to the commune supply and marketing cooperative? When I go to deliver the goods, let's go shopping in the county together and buy them in the county's state-owned shopping mall!" Lin Zhengjun said with a smile.

"That would be great!"

"Oh! I went to the county town once when I was sick two years ago, but I was busy at home, so I went straight home after leaving the hospital!" Everyone looked excited.

Back then, there were no bicycles, transportation was inconvenient, and everyone’s range of activities was very limited.

In their eyes, Huaibian County has become an attractive big city.

At this moment, a charming voice came from the entrance of the yard: "Comrade Zhengjun, you locked the door in broad daylight, what shameful things are you doing?"

"Who?"

"It's the educated youth Zhao Xueruo. Why don't we hide the things?" Wei Hongbing said a little nervously.

"It's okay, this isn't something we should hide from the public!"

Lin Zhengjun walked over to open the door and said with a smile, "I was wondering why I heard the magpie calling so early in the morning. It turns out that Comrade Zhao Xueruo is here to inspect and guide our work. Welcome, welcome."

"You only need to be sweet to Tang Xiaofu, but don't do that to me!"

Zhao Xueruo turned around with her hands behind her back and said with a smile: "Commander Lin's family business is doing very well. I heard that he made a fortune. No wonder Tang Xiaofu is so obsessed with him!"

Seeing Zhao Xueruo's innocent smile, Lin Zhengjun found it hard to associate her with the female billionaire and iron lady who later became notorious in the business circles of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei.

Zhao Xueruo’s grandparents were intellectuals who studied in the Soviet Union. They participated in the establishment of the First Ministry of Machinery in 52. They were definitely an educated family.

Her parents also work in the mechanical field, but her family lost ground in the movement a few years ago and was characterized as "**academic authority."

Fortunately, the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China put things right and her parents' reputation and jobs were restored.

According to the established trajectory, Zhao Xueruo will leave the Hewan Brigade in a month and return to work at the Yanjing Red Star Machinery Factory.

But before returning to the city, a tragic event occurred that affected Zhao Xueruo's life.

She was raped by a masked man when she was looking for wild duck eggs to eat in the river bend late at night!

In her previous life, Zhao Xueruo tried to commit suicide and called the police. The county and the commune also took it seriously, but due to the backward investigative methods at the time, they couldn't find out who did it!

Zhao Xueruo left the Hewan Brigade with hatred and was depressed for a long time. It is said that she attempted suicide many times.

Tang Xiaofu had already married Lin Zhengjun at that time and settled in the countryside. She felt sorry for her good sister, so she took a month off and went to Beijing to take care of her and comfort her, and accompany her out of the shadow.

At that time, Lin Zhengjun was short-sighted and blamed Tang Xiaofu for trying to please others, spending money indiscriminately, and delaying her work in the fields to earn work points.

After Tang Xiaofu died in a mountain flood, Zhao Xueruo also resented Lin Zhengjun and ignored him for a long time.

But considering her friendship with Tang Xiaofu, she eased her relationship with Lin Zhengjun.

He provided a lot of help to Lin Zhengjun when he started his business, helping him to get equipment to open a brick factory, obtain car approval documents to buy cars and set up a transport team.

It can be said that she was the most important benefactor in Lin Zhengjun's rise in his previous life.

92 years later, Zhao Xueruo left her position as deputy chief engineer of Beijing Red Star Machinery Factory and founded Zhongfu Heavy Industry.

Zhao Xueruo has extensive connections within the system, her merger and integration offensive within the industry is fierce and brutal, and she is adept at manipulating the capital market.

A few years later, Zhongfu Heavy Industry became one of the top heavy equipment groups in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. At its peak, her personal assets were nearly 10 billion yuan, and then... she was thrown into jail.

"Hey, Zhengjun, what are you daydreaming about?"

Seeing Lin Zhengjun's dazed look, Zhao Xueruo stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Lin Zhengjun's eyes: "Tang Xiaofu has a stomachache and has been lying in bed for a whole day. She didn't eat lunch. I heard that you have brown sugar at home?"

No wonder the little girl didn’t come to help today. I thought she went to work in the fields. It turns out she had her period.

Lin Zhengjun was well prepared and said with a smile, "Yes, yes, yes! You go back first, I'll go to the educated youth point right away."

"Okay!" Zhao Xueruo left.

In this life, we must guard against it no matter what, and not let Zhao Xueruo's tragedy happen again...

Lin Zhengjun was lost in thought. He calmed himself down, went to the kitchen, boiled water in a pot, added brown sugar, beat four poached eggs and put them in a bowl.

Then he scooped a bowl of dumplings that he had made at noon, put them all in the bamboo basket, and hurried out to the educated youth site.

……

As the sun sets, smoke rises from the village.

Many members have already finished work and are squatting on both sides of the village road with their bowls in hand, enjoying the cool breeze, chatting and eating dinner.

"Sister-in-law, this steamed bread is so disgusting!"

Wei Shanbao grumbled in dissatisfaction as he gnawed on the hard-to-swallow steamed bun.

Since paying 200 kilograms of wheat to the production team as compensation, the Wei family's living standard has plummeted.

In the past, we couldn’t eat big white steamed buns every meal, but at least we could eat mixed steamed buns made of flour and cornmeal. Now we can only eat steamed cornbread and cornmeal porridge like ordinary members.

"You still have the nerve to say it?"

When it comes to this, Wei Shanhu's wife understands that He Fengying is also very angry, and she sneers: "It's all because of your incompetence that the roof of the granary was poorly built, and you lost 200 kilograms of good wheat to the team!"

"There's only some cornmeal, wheat bran and bean flour left at home. They're all loose. It's good enough if I can make them into steamed buns for you!"

"What? Do you think my cooking skills are bad? If you like it, eat it. If you don't like it, get out of here!"

"Sister-in-law, that's not what I meant!"

Wei Shanbao was so embarrassed that his face turned red, and he quickly smiled and apologized.

Then, he quickly changed the subject and said with a smile: "Brother and sister-in-law, let me tell you something funny. Lin Zhengjun bought the half-sprouted wheat seeds from our family, but he didn't dry them out for grinding. Instead, he sprinkled water on them to continue sprouting. He said that cutting grass for pigs was too tiring, so he let the malt germinate to feed the pigs!"

"This guy is such a second-rate guy!"

"After all this trouble, his family will have to eat coarse food. It's too tragic. I can't bear it!"

Wei Shanhu, He Fengying, and the third brother Wei Shanye all laughed sarcastically.

The Wei family was in a terrible state after this incident, but considering that Lin Zhengjun's family was even worse off, they suddenly felt psychologically balanced.

"Haha, when the payment deadline comes, if three work points can't pay the 9 yuan, we will take his pig away. That will be a big profit!" Wei Shanbao grinned.

At this moment, a burst of footsteps sounded.

Everyone saw Lin Zhengjun walking over with a bamboo basket.

Wei Shanhu's face suddenly turned gloomy, and his eyes were filled with anger!

Ever since the last time Lin Zhengjun slapped his brother in the face in public, he has hated Lin Zhengjun to the core.

The visible slap hit his brother's face, but the invisible slap hit Wei Shanhu's face. He regarded this incident as a serious provocation to his dignity.

Wei Shanbao curled his lips and did not take Lin Zhengjun seriously.

Da knew that He Fengying was somewhat scheming and never showed resentment on her face. She asked with a smile, "Zhengjun, what are you doing?"

I won't let any of these enemies from my past life go!

However, the time is not right now, so I will let you jump around for a few days!

Lin Zhengjun's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. He glanced at the Wei family, calmed down, and said lightly: "Go and deliver food to Tang Xiaofu."

"Hahaha, do you have any food at home? What are you eating? Let me see if it's wild vegetable balls or elm bark!"

Wei Shanbao approached with a mocking look on his face and lifted the towel covering the bamboo basket.

Everyone stood up and looked over, intending to laugh at Lin Zhengjun.

What I saw in the basket was not some wild vegetable balls, but a bowl of brown sugar eggs and a bowl of fragrant meat dumplings!

For a moment, everyone was stunned!
