Rebirth 1979: Marrying a poor girl at the beginning

Xu Zhigong, Lin Zhengjun and Tang Xiaofu came to the household registration office of the police station.

Xu Zhigong personally handed the certification documents to the household registration manager and put them in her file bag.

Xu Zhigong smiled and said, "Congratulations, Tang Zhiqing, your history is clean. You will be able to take the college entrance examination and find a good job in the future. This is no less than a new life!"

Tang Xiaofu couldn't help but smile, her heart pounding with excitement.

At this moment, she had a premonition that her fate was about to be rewritten!

Deep down in her heart, she was eager to go to college. Perhaps, next year she and Lin Zhengjun would be able to become glorious college students and chosen ones of heaven!

After leaving the household registration office, Lin Zhengjun smiled and said, "Director Xu, I would like to borrow your phone to call Yanjing and talk to Tang Xiaofu's parents about the wedding date. Is that convenient for you?"

"What's the inconvenience? Just fight!" Xu Zhigong said with a smile: "When is your wedding date?"

"The sixth day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar!"

"Okay, when the time comes, I'll go and ask for a glass of wedding wine!" Xu Zhigong said jokingly.

"What do you mean by asking for a glass of wedding wine? I will send you an invitation when a date is set. You are giving me face by being willing to attend my wedding!" Lin Zhengjun said.

Back to Xu Zhigong's office.

Tang Xiaofu took out the phone book and said, "By the way, Zhengjun, you don't have to call the guard room. My grandfather's office is equipped with a phone!"

"Okay! This is more convenient. It saves us the trouble of running around..." Lin Zhengjun dialed the phone.

After a while, the call was connected.

"Grandpa, I'm a regular soldier!"

"Zhengjun, are you back home? Did you have a smooth journey?" Zhou Shoucheng's warm and kind voice came from the receiver.

"It went smoothly. I got home last night!"

"Is everyone at home okay?"

"Everything is fine..."

Phone bills are so expensive. A long-distance call in Huaibian County costs 11 cents per minute. Lin Zhengjun didn't waste any more time and quickly got to the point: "Grandpa, we have discussed the wedding date with my parents and set it for November 26, which is also the sixth day of the tenth month in the lunar calendar. Do you think the time is suitable?"

"What's inappropriate about this? Just pick a good date. Marriage is a big deal, we have to go even if we have to take leave!" Zhou Shoucheng said with a smile.

"Okay, when the time comes, you can stay at the county guesthouse first, and then call me to let me know that my parents and I will go to visit you and grandma. The number is..."

After reaching an agreement with Zhou Shoucheng, Lin Zhengjun hung up the phone.

"I have to fight one more."

Lin Zhengjun said embarrassedly: "When I was buying equipment from Beibingyang, I met their former chief engineer Yang Delong. He was willing to help us install and debug equipment and train employees."

"What? The chief engineer of the Arctic Ocean Factory is actually willing to come to our Hewan Brigade to help train employees? This is like inviting a great god!" Xu Zhigong was ecstatic.

In addition to poverty, lack of capital accumulation and backward infrastructure construction, rural areas today are also facing an even greater shortage of technology and talent, especially industrial technology and talent.

He knew about the Arctic Ocean Factory. It was very famous in Yanjing and one of the best in the country. The technical level of the chief engineer there was unquestionable.

Xu Zhigong immediately asked curiously: "Zhengjun, why would such a big shot like him be willing to come to our Hewan Brigade? Tell me the truth, how much did you pay to invite him?"

"He has stated that he doesn't want any money. Just provide him with three meals a day, a place to live, and reimbursement of travel expenses." Lin Zhengjun said with a smile.

"How is this possible? How did you do it?" Xu Zhigong couldn't believe it.

In his opinion, such outstanding technical talents coming to a difficult place like Hewan Brigade should definitely be paid higher than their normal wages.

But it doesn’t cost any money.

Lin Zhengjun immediately briefly told the story of the safety accident at the Beibingyang Factory, how Yang Haibo was injured, and how he asked Zhong Huainan to take action.

"Oh my, Zhengjun, you handled this matter very openly. This is how you win people over with virtue!" Xu Zhigong immediately expressed his admiration for Lin Zhengjun.

First, I admire Lin Zhengjun's broad mind. When he encountered difficulties in purchasing equipment, he helped Yang Delong regardless of past grudges, thus forming a good relationship with him.

Secondly, I admire Lin Zhengjun’s ability, which actually inspired Zhong Huainan. Both cognitive behavioral therapy and fluoxetine are effective!

Lin Zhengjun still had a lot of important things to do, so he didn't waste any time and called Yang Delong again.

Although Yang Delong was the chief engineer of the Arctic Ocean Factory, someone of his level did not have a telephone installed at home, so he called the factory office directly and asked the secretary to ask Yang Delong to answer the phone.

After a moment, the call was connected.

Yang Delong complained: "Zhengjun, why did you leave Yanjing without saying anything? I wanted to see you off!"

"Well. We are a real relationship, no need to be polite."

Lin Zhengjun asked: "How is Haibo doing?"

"He has recovered well. He can now speak and is conscious. The doctor said that the effect of the operation exceeded their expectations. Thank you, Comrade Zhengjun..." Yang Delong's voice was so excited that he was a little choked up.

"Actually, I hope you can take care of Haibo for a while longer in Yanjing..."

Lin Zhengjun said in embarrassment: "But, the construction of my factory has been completed. The key is that we have already made several thousand kilograms of smoked fish for the spicy fish cans. If the smoked fish is left for a long time, its taste will change..."

"Zhengjun, don't worry. Haibo can take good care of Su Xiu and her parents. I will go buy a ticket now and get to Hewan Brigade as soon as possible!" Yang Delong said immediately.

Damn... Is the working class so tough nowadays? Lin Zhengjun said sincerely: "Thank you, Chief Engineer Yang!"

After ending the call with Yang Delong, Tang Xiaofu called Zhao Xueruo again and told her the wedding date.

After finishing all this, Lin Zhengjun and Tang Xiaofu returned home and told Professor Zhou Shoucheng that he had no objection to the wedding date, so the wedding date was officially confirmed.

Next, all kinds of preparations for the wedding were put on the agenda!

While the Lin family was preparing for the wedding, there was chaos in the Houyang Brigade of Yangji Commune.

On this day, Hu Cuifen and others, who had been in re-education through labor for a month, were finally released.

The family of four had their faces tanned and peeling, and their palms were covered with calluses.

Due to heavy work and poor eating over the past month, they were all skin and bones, and walked weakly and had to use crutches.

Add to that their tattered clothes and they looked like four refugees from famine.

When Hu Cuifen and her family returned home, they were shocked: "Oh my God, what's going on? Has our house been robbed?"

The house was empty. Not only were the large furniture such as the bed, wardrobe and table gone, but even the pots and pans were gone.

Hu Cuifen panicked immediately, ran out of the door, slapped her thigh and cursed: "Who is the heartless person who stole everything from my house? I curse your mother to die a miserable death!"

At this time, Yang Wencai rushed over after hearing the news. He was furious when he heard the words. He pulled Hu Cuifen's arm and said, "Sister-in-law, stop cursing. You are cursing yourself!"

Hu Cuifen was confused: "Who am I scolding for stealing my things? Why am I cursing myself?"

Yang Wencai felt that this was quite embarrassing, so he pulled her into the yard and said, "I've been demobilized and arranged to work at the Construction Bank in the county. All the big furniture has been moved to the dormitory of the county bank, and some small items have been given away!"

Hu Cuifen said, "It's fine if he takes away the things he needs, but he gave away all the small items. What does that mean? Don't I need them?"

Yang Wencai sighed, "Alas, don't you understand this? He wants to separate from you and live alone..."

Hu Cuifen was struck by lightning, her face turned pale, and she trembled, "How is it possible? I raised him with all my might. Now that he has just found a good job and can make a lot of money, I should be able to enjoy a few years of peace and quiet, but he actually wants to separate from me! His conscience has been eaten by dogs!"
