Rebirth 1979: Marrying a poor girl at the beginning

"What the hell are you talking about!"

Xu Zhigong was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He shouted angrily: "We also eat dumplings and eggs, wear Dacron and canvas shoes. Are we also taking the capitalist road?"

"We not only ride bicycles, we even ride cars. According to you, we are all unforgivable capitalists!"

"Director Xu, I don't, that's not what I meant..."

Faced with Xu Zhigong's thundering rage, Wei Shanhu was so scared that cold sweat broke out on his forehead and his tongue became tied.

"Comrades, you need to change your mindset! Poverty is not socialism. We encourage members to develop family businesses and prosper rural operations!"

Yu Chunli cleared her throat and said loudly: "I am Yu Chunli, the director of the county supply and marketing cooperative. I can prove to all the members that Comrade Lin Zhengjun has never engaged in speculation. All the maltose he produced was sold to the supply and marketing cooperative. He earned legal income, became rich, and solved the problem of insufficient sugar supply in our county!"

"I came here this time to present an award to Comrade Lin Zhengjun in recognition of his outstanding performance in the production of family sideline businesses!"

The crowd was in an uproar. Everyone looked at Lin Zhengjun in shock, envy, and admiration, and talked about it.

"Oh my God! Lin Zhengjun actually has a connection with the Supply and Marketing Cooperative!"

"It also solved the sugar shortage problem in the county, and the director of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative gave out awards. Three work points is incredible!"

"And you still ask him to earn three work points? He is a model worker in production. We should all learn from him in the future!"

"What's the rank of the director of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative?"

"Section-level, the same level as the commune secretary and director!"

"Sanhuai, you have raised a good son. He is really promising!"

Lin Sanhuai and Zhang Shuqin felt like they were dreaming.

No wonder my son reminded me to change into new clothes this morning. It turns out that his leader came to present awards today.

This poor kid didn’t tell me earlier. He scared himself so much just now!

In the crowd, Zhao Xueruo nudged Tang Xiaofu with her elbow and said with a smile: "Lin Zhengjun is amazing. He has become a leader in getting rich. Let's see who dares to call him a second-rate person in the future!"

"Of course, how can my vision be bad?" Tang Xiaofu raised her little face proudly.

The Wei family felt like they had lost their parents!

Finished!

This time I hit a brick wall!

But who could have thought that Lin Zhengjun, a second-rate guy, would have the guts to do business with the Supply and Marketing Cooperative!

Wei Shanye was stunned, his face turned pale, and a trace of uneasiness emerged in his heart.

Damn, I made a mistake!

Did I really commit burglary?

Yu Chunli shook hands with Lin Sanhuai and his wife and said with a smile: "I hope you can put aside your ideological burdens and support Lin Zhengjun's hemp candy business!"

"Thank you, leader!"

"We support it, we will definitely support it!"

Lin Sanhuai and his wife were flattered and felt uneasy.

Although the director of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative was only at the section level, he was already a great cadre in the small Huaibian County and the highest-ranking leader they had ever come into contact with.

"Uncle and aunt, this is a prize!"

Hao Jianguo and the driver brought over a large dressing mirror with the words "Model in Family Sideline Production" written in red calligraphy on one side!

"This is a little gift from us, you must accept it!" Yu Chunli said with a smile.

The old couple took the dressing mirror and smiled from ear to ear.

The family was poor and had few members. Both daughters married far away and had no time to take care of their own family. In the brigade, they were just nobody and were bullied by everyone.

With a second-rate son, the old couple have been pointed at and criticized for several years, feeling ashamed. Today, they can finally hold their heads up high!

Yu Chunli shook hands with Lin Zhengjun again and said enthusiastically: "I hope Comrade Lin Zhengjun will continue to work hard in the vast rural world and make new contributions to the prosperity of the rural economy!"

"must!"

"Let's all learn from Comrade Lin Zhengjun, develop family side businesses, and do a good job of diversified operations!"

Xu Zhigong led the applause.

The members also felt proud and clapped their hands vigorously, and a warm applause rang out in the courtyard.

After the award ceremony, Xu Zhigong said with a smile: "Now please invite Comrade Ye Dayong, Deputy Director of the County Civil Affairs Bureau, to present the award to Lin Zhengjun!"

Everyone could not help but marvel at what he said, with curiosity and anticipation written all over their faces.

“And there are prizes!”

"That's amazing! Lin Zhengjun is going to win two prizes this time!"

"Why this time?"

Deputy Director Ye of the Civil Affairs Bureau stood up and said loudly: "A week ago, Comrade Lin Zhengjun used his first aid knowledge to save an elderly man who was on the verge of death in the county. After research and decision by the County Civil Affairs Bureau, Lin Zhengjun was awarded the 'Active Act of Bravery' Award. I hope everyone can learn from Comrade Lin Zhengjun's spirit of daring to stand up in times of crisis..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the small courtyard burst into applause again.

Wait for the applause to subside.

Deputy Director Ye smiled and said, "In order to encourage Lin Zhengjun's valuable spirit of bravery, the Civil Affairs Bureau decided to reward them with 100 yuan in cash!"

As he spoke, Deputy Director Ye handed a certificate and 100 yuan to Lin Zhengjun with both hands, while Hao Jianguo and the driver carried a bag of flour and put it into the main room.

"The 100 yuan bonus Lin Zhengjun received is equivalent to a worker's three-month salary!"

"Who did Lin Zhengjun save to give him such a huge reward?"

Compared with empty spiritual rewards, members value tangible material rewards more and they almost drooled with envy.

"In addition, this is a small token of appreciation from the old comrade who was rescued."

As soon as Ye Dayong finished speaking, Hao Jianguo and the driver brought in a 100-jin bag of Fuqiang flour, a box of malted milk, two boxes of Moutai liquor, and a pack of Zhonghua and Mudan cigarettes.

In addition, there were some floral fabrics, cotton fabrics, White Rabbit milk candies, brown sugar, biscuits, cakes, canned food, and even a large piece of pork.

"Fuqiang noodles are in short supply and are supplied with tickets. You can't buy them even if you have money but no tickets!"

"Oh my god, this malted milk is like a box!"

"Oh, this amount of cloth is enough to make several new quilts!"

"Isn't Lin Zhengjun planning to marry Tang Xiaofu? You don't even need to buy this!"

The villagers' eyes were so envious that they were bloodshot, and the children's saliva was flowing.

Putting aside the cash reward from the Civil Affairs Bureau, the money given by the Bai family alone is 200 yuan, which is equivalent to half a year's salary for a worker and cadre. In later times, that would be tens of thousands of yuan!

Lin Zhengjun understood that favors become less and less valuable, so he quickly refused: "Director Ye, this is too valuable, I can't accept it. Please take it back to the county and give it to Mr. Bai!"

"You saved my life, this little thing is nothing, just accept it!"

Ye Dayong was also an understanding man. He smiled and said, "Mr. Bai hopes that you can visit him when you are free and visit him often. If I bring it back, Mr. Bai might beat me with a stick. Don't make it difficult for me!"

"Okay, then I'll be disrespectful..."

Lin Zhengjun thought that if they visited each other often, there would be no problem. He could return the favor next time. Wouldn't that mean they would have a good relationship?

At this time, Wei Shanhu could no longer sit still. He pushed Wei Shanye and whispered, "Hurry! Apologize to Lin Zhengjun and return the money. If it's too late, no one can save you!"

A man has to bow his head under the eaves. Wei Shanye wiped his nose, took out the money, presented it with both hands, bowed to Lin Zhengjun and apologized: "Zhengjun, I was wrong, I'm sorry!"

No one noticed that there was a flash of resentment in his eyes.

Lin Zhengjun, I am in trouble today, but revenge is never too late. Sooner or later, I will take revenge on you!

"Just an apology?" Lin Zhengjun didn't take the money, but looked at the guy with cold eyes!

In the previous life, this bastard bullied his sister so badly. Now that he has the upper hand over her, how could he let him go easily?

"You are blind and look down on others. How could you see that Lin Zhengjun was engaging in speculation?"

Wei Shanhu kicked his brother hard, slapped him a few times, and then shouted: "My dear brothers, it was indeed my third brother who was reckless today and made a big fool of himself!"

"As an older brother, I am also responsible. I did not discipline my younger brother well. Here, I sincerely apologize to Lin Zhengjun's family!"

He was about to bow, but Lin Zhengjun's handsome face darkened and he interrupted him abruptly: "Apologize! If apologies were useful, what would we need the police for!"

"I will kill you now and kowtow to you three times. Are you willing?"

"Lin Zhengjun, what do you mean by this?" Wei Shanhu's heart skipped a beat and his eyes twitched wildly.
