Rebirth 1979: Marrying a poor girl at the beginning

After a while, the food was served and the family sat around the table and started eating.

Yang Kaixuan divided the family into two parts. His daughter would move to the city to live and would not have to suffer in her hometown. The whole family was very happy.

Therefore, the meal was very rich, including scrambled eggs, chicken stewed with mushrooms, smoked fish fried with dried chilies, braised pork, some seasonal vegetables, and a pot of steamed white rice.

Even Lin Sanhuai, who usually doesn't drink much, took out Erguotou and said with a smile: "Kaixuan, Zhengjun brought it from Professor Zhou's house, let's try it!"

Although Erguotou is not as expensive as Moutai and Wuliangye, it is the wine from the capital that Lin Zhengjun brought back from Professor Zhou's house.

Lin Sanhuai treasures it very much and has hidden it away, planning to drink it during the New Year, but he is so happy today that he decides to enjoy it first.

"Oh, this wine is good and strong. When I was in the army, a comrade-in-arms from Beijing brought it home for a visit." Yang Kaixuan said with a smile.

Lin Zhengjun and Yang Kaixuan were both big drinkers, and they drank about six taels of liquor. Although Lin Sanhuai didn't drink much, he didn't want to spoil the fun, so he drank about three taels of liquor.

After dinner, Tang Xiaofu went back to her new room to continue writing her novel, but Lin Zhengjun took Yang Kaixuan to the river bend to take a walk and talk.

Along the way, every villager he met greeted Zhengjun, calling him "Director" or "Zhengjun" respectfully and affectionately.

"Your prestige is incredible. I have met so many brigade cadres, but none of them can command the members' respect like you do!" Yang Kaixuan said with emotion as he walked up the embankment of the river bend.

"The members are very pragmatic. If you can bring them benefits, they will respect you. If you cheat and harm them, they will turn against you and even want to kill you!" Lin Zhengjun said with a smile.

After chatting for a while, Lin Zhengjun said, "Brother-in-law, your mother and her friends must have suffered a lot during their time in labor camp. You won't blame me, right?"

"will not."

"Really not?"

"No way!"

Yang Kaixuan said seriously: "To be honest, when I saw your sister's injury, I was even angrier than you. I wanted to deal with them more, but I am your son and brother after all. If I take action, there will be people in the village gossiping about me. It would be best if you take action to deal with them!"

"Hongmei and I have done our best for them. I gave my monthly salary and allowance to my mother because I hoped they could live in harmony and treat Hongmei well. I didn't want to cause any trouble. Otherwise, I would be worried while fighting on the front line. I didn't expect that..."

Lin Zhengjun said: "If you think so, I feel relieved!"

"You know what? When the troops were dispatched to the front, many of my comrades' partners wrote to me and threatened to break up with me!"

Yang Kaixuan sighed: "There are married men whose wives want divorces, and some even have babies in their bellies and abort them, but they still insist on divorces!"

"The soldiers are sad, but for the sake of the motherland and the people, they have to grit their teeth and go to the front line to fight the yellow monkeys. Defending the country is the mission of the soldiers!"

"But your sister-in-law received a letter from me saying I was going to the front. She wrote back, saying, 'Go to the front with peace of mind. If you are going to sacrifice, I will be the daughter of the old Yang family. I will work hard to earn money, find a wife for my brother, earn a dowry to marry my sister off, and take care of my mother in her old age!"

"Our brigade commander was deeply moved when he heard Hongmei's letter. He read it out at the swearing-in ceremony, and the soldiers were greatly encouraged. I must cherish such a good woman for the rest of my life!"

Lin Zhengjun smiled and said, "I'm glad you think so. My sister's love for you is not in vain!"

Yang Kaixuan smiled and said, "Yes, I have to be worthy of your sister and you. You could have gone to the North Street Construction Bank job by yourself, but you gave it to me!"

"I don't consider being a security officer. I'm a representative of the National Congress of Literature and Art. It's too embarrassing!" Lin Zhengjun said with a smile.

Yang Kaixuan said: "..."

He was speechless, but had to admit that what Lin Zhengjun said was the truth. Lin Zhengjun's vision and perspective were ahead of his time, and it was a waste of his talent for him to be a small clerk.

"The technical expert from the Arctic Ocean Factory is expected to arrive tomorrow. He plans to stay for a while, so I asked them to urgently prepare tables, chairs and beds. Let's go to the food cooperative and see how things are going." Lin Zhengjun said with a smile.

"What? The Arctic Ocean Factory in Yanjing?" Yang Kaixuan was shocked.

"That's right!"

There is no need to mention how shocked Yang Kaixuan was. He knew that his brother-in-law was capable, but he didn't expect him to be so capable that even technicians from Yanjing came.

When Yang Kaixuan arrived at the factory area of ​​the Youth Food Cooperative, he was shocked!

More than twenty brick houses look particularly impactful!

You know, nowadays, not only the members of the commune but even the state-owned units can’t afford to build brick and tile houses.

For example, in Yangji and Qingshan Communes, only the commune compound had brick and tile houses, while the supply and marketing cooperatives, health centers, credit cooperatives and other units were still thatched houses!

The factory area is paved with cement roads that are wide and flat. Even the courtyard walls are made of blue bricks. There are also holly trees planted in the flower beds, which looks pleasing to the eye.

"Zhengjun, how much did this new factory cost?" Yang Kaixuan asked.

"Twenty-seven thousand, less than thirty thousand." Lin Zhengjun said.

Yang Kaixuan took a breath of cold air.

Suddenly I felt that my monthly salary was nothing at all. Lin Zhengjun was really too powerful, and it was reasonable for him to look down on that job.

When I arrived at the office, I saw several carpenters making tables and chairs, and the floor was covered with wood shavings. In another dormitory, a dining table, wardrobe and bed had already been made.

Wei Shuangxi and others are helping.

Xiao Wenhua took a "Collective Cooperative Business License" issued by the Industrial and Commercial Market Administration and hung it on the wall.

Yes, at this point, collective food cooperatives are considered to be licensed businesses.

Seeing that the dining table, wardrobe and bed were all set up in the dormitory, Lin Zhengjun felt relieved. At least Yang Delong had a place to stay when he came.

……

The next day, Yang Kaixuan returned to the city.

He had a bicycle, and Lin Zhengjun did not pretend to be polite and see him off. He and Tang Xiaofu hid in the new room to read, review, and write scripts.

There were many things to do in preparing for the wedding, but it was basically his parents and relatives who helped out, so Lin Zhengjun had some free time.

Lin Zhengjun has almost finished reviewing the senior year courses.

But even after finishing the review, he will not stop studying. After all, his goal is to go to a prestigious school!

When it was almost noon, Wei Hongbing came running over excitedly and said, "Zhengjun, a technical expert has come to the factory. He calls himself Yang Delong and is from Yanjing!"

"So fast?" Lin Zhengjun's face lit up, he put down the book and left the house.

To show his importance, he first went to the brigade headquarters and called all the brigade cadres he could, including Lin Bingde and Wei Mingxuan.

When we arrived at the cooperative factory, we saw Yang Delong already sitting in the office drinking tea. He was exhausted and probably didn't get enough rest. He looked tired, but he looked very excited.

Xiao Wenhua was talking to him.

Seeing Lin Zhengjun coming in, Yang Delong quickly stood up and said with a smile: “Zhengjun, I just took a walk around the factory area, and it was pretty good!”

He was somewhat shocked in his heart!
