Rebirth 1979: Marrying a poor girl at the beginning

The staff club is located in the northeast corner of the family compound. It is a three-story house made of red bricks and red tiles, with the first floor covering approximately 500 to 600 square meters.

"Zhengjun, this is our staff club."

Zhang Xuliang introduced: "The first floor is an indoor stadium with a basketball court and table tennis tables; the second floor is a reading room; the third floor is an activity room. Sometimes we rehearse some programs and hold dances to entertain ourselves. We also often show movies for free. Have you seen "Little Flower"? Oh, that Liu Xiaoqing is really beautiful!"

His tone was enthusiastic, but also revealed a hint of arrogance, as if he was looking at a country bumpkin.

"I've seen it. There are open-air movies in the countryside..." Lin Zhengjun nodded calmly.

Zhang Xuliang smiled and said, "That's not bad, but it's still not comparable to the city. In the countryside, open-air movies can only be shown a few times a year, but here we have them several times a week!"

A smaller activity room on the third floor.

It was cleaned tidyly, with about ten chairs and a few tables arranged in an arc, and the other tables and chairs were pulled aside.

There was a tape recorder, several bottles of Yanjing beer, Arctic Ocean soda, as well as snacks such as melon seeds, peanuts, and candies on the table.

Plastic flowers and balloons were used as decorations, and a red paper was pasted on the curtain of the stage with the words "Welcome Comrade Tang Xiaofu back to Beijing" written in brush calligraphy. It was a very elaborate arrangement.

Chen Bin, Tian Shengli, Ding Yuxiu, Li Changhe, Ge Lan and a group of friends, some were cleaning and arranging, some were playing guitar and accordion, and humming songs.

"Oh, you guys have made all the arrangements and mobilized so many people. I feel embarrassed!" Tang Xiaofu walked in and said with a bright smile.

"Xiao Fu is here!"

"Your dress is so beautiful!"

"You're so white and fat, are you going to cut in line?"

Seeing Tang Xiaofu come in, the friends looked at her in surprise.

Li Ping, Ge Lan and Ding Yuxiu were even more envious.

Li Changhe had just returned from working in the countryside and had replenished his nutrition for a month, but traces of labor could still be seen on his body. His palms were rough and his face was dark and thin.

They all knew that Huanghuai City was a remote and poor area.

Tang Xiaofu didn't know how to work, earned few work points, and had no food or clothes to eat. When she came back from the Spring Festival last year, she looked like a refugee fleeing famine, with a pale face and patched clothes.

But now, Tang Xiaofu was wearing a camel-colored tweed suit, trousers, and leather shoes, and even a watch.

Her face is fair and plump, her eyes are bright and her teeth are white. In particular, she exudes a lively and bright temperament, just like a star who walked out of a movie.

"Haha, Zhengjun's family conditions are pretty good. I have enough food and clothes. I have meat, eggs, white flour buns and rice for every meal." Tang Xiaofu said with a smile.

“Are rural areas so rich now?”

"No way. I was sent to work in the countryside in Changping, which is in the suburbs of Beijing, and the members of the commune don't even have enough to eat!" Everyone looked at Lin Zhengjun in shock.

First, everyone was amazed at Lin Zhengjun's appearance, temperament and dress.

He was tall, handsome, and well-mannered, wearing a brand new Zhongshan suit, cotton trousers, a pair of leather shoes, and a bright yellow watch.

Secondly, I was amazed at how well off his family was.

Ding Yuxiu was stunned for a moment and then suddenly responded, smiling: "Comrade Zhengjun really loves you. He borrowed money to dress you up beautifully and fed you until you were plump and white!"

Oh, it turns out it was borrowed!

Everyone looked at each other and suddenly understood.

"What do you mean by borrowed? Not at all. All of it is Zhengjun's own money..."

Tang Xiaofu wanted to explain why Lin Zhengjun was doing a collective side business, but no one gave her a chance.

"Xiao Fu, stop standing there!"

Ding Yuxiu pulled Tang Xiaofu to sit down and said with a smile, "Haha, this is all Zhang Xuliang's kindness. Knowing that you are back, he immediately handed the key to me and asked us to decorate it! Do you feel his enthusiasm?"

Is this a wingman?

Lin Zhengjun glanced at Ding Yuxiu.

Tang Xiaofu smiled and said, "Thank you everyone!"

Next, Zhang Xuliang introduced everyone's recent situation: "Li Changhe used his aunt's relationship to work as a worker at the Second Steel Rolling Mill in Beijing. He is a skilled worker, not a handyman. With the promotion of his professional title, he will be able to get a high salary!"

"Ding Yuxiu worked as a salesperson in Wangfujing thanks to her brother-in-law's connections. Some time ago, Lao Gandie products were very popular and my dad wanted to try them, so I asked her to get me two bottles. That's amazing!"

"Glen entered a technical secondary school..."

Everyone looked proud, beaming with joy, and full of a sense of superiority.

In their view, no matter whether the work was good or bad, they had successfully returned to the city and were fed by the state, either as workers or cadres.

That's much better than the peasant Lin Zhengjun.

"Each of us has a bright future!"

Finally, Zhang Xuliang concluded with a smile.

Everyone applauded, and Tang Xiaofu nodded with a smile, "Well, everyone is doing well and has a bright future!"

Zhang Xuliang said with a smile: "Sister Zhu Lin will come over later. We always invite her to be the judge for all the piano competitions in our academy!"

Originally, two groups of people would compete in playing the piano and singing, to see who knew more.

But things have changed in the past two years. Often, an experienced person is elected as a judge to assess the level of piano playing and singing.

The door was open, and a graceful green figure appeared there.

"Is this here?"

Zhu Lin blinked her big watery eyes, first poked her head out to confirm the location, then walked in slowly, glanced at the wall clock, and smiled, "I'm not late, am I? Didn't you say 8:30?"

In fact, the appointment time was 8:30 in the evening, and she arrived five minutes earlier, but seeing that everyone came so early, she wondered if she had remembered the time wrong.

When they saw Zhu Lin appear, the young men and women present became excited.

Everyone's love for Zhu Lin is simple and straightforward; she is the idol of all the young people in the compound!

She has been beautiful since she was young, with elegant manners and extraordinary temperament. She has also demonstrated her artistic talent, and people around her are always looking at her with admiration.

Some people would forget an article after reading it a hundred times, but she could remember it once.

When I was in primary school, I practiced gymnastics for 5 years at Shichahai Amateur Sports School and learned to play basketball at the same time. After that, I was able to put on a swimsuit and learn to swim with my parents' consent.

Zhu Lin is getting more and more beautiful, so beautiful that passers-by who pass by will stop to look at her. This is a conservative era where looking at a girl for even a second longer would be considered a hooligan!

Later, when he was sent to the countryside to work as a production team member, he was admitted to the art troupe. He could sing, dance and play various musical instruments.

After leaving the art troupe and being admitted to the Medical Testing Institute, she was called the "flower of the laboratory" by her peers. She was truly dazzling and outshined all the other girls wherever she went. Compared with her, Li Ping, Ding Yuxiu and Ge Lan were like dog tails and pale in comparison.

"No, no, the time is just right!"

Zhang Xuliang quickly stood up and offered his seat to him, with a flattering look on his face.

During these special ten years, Zhu Lin's father was not affected much and is now a fourth-level associate professor. Her mother's surname is Liu and she is also the chief surgeon at Union Hospital. As both of them are working, their situation is much better than that of ordinary families.

The key is that Zhu Lin is beautiful, and maybe she will marry the son of a high-ranking official in the future, then everyone will look upon her with even higher regard.

Tang Xiaofu quickly stood up and went to meet her, her eyes filled with tears, and she smiled and said, "Sister Zhu Lin!"

"Xiao Fu, I finally see you. I went to your grandfather's house to look for you two days ago, but you were not at home!" Zhu Lin's face was full of pity and he opened his arms and hugged her.

After a while, Zhu Lin let go of Tang Xiaofu, looked her up and down in disbelief, and said with a smile: "Xiaofu, you have become more beautiful. They say that girls change a lot when they grow up, and they become more beautiful. You have gone from being pretty to even prettier. If I ran into you on the street, I would never recognize you!"
