Rebirth 1979: Marrying a poor girl at the beginning

Lin Zhengjun said with emotion: "This is a great story, especially the brother and sister wearing the same pair of shoes. It not only expresses tension, but also shame and embarrassment! How did you come up with this idea?"

"Of course I'd be ashamed and embarrassed!"

Tang Xiaofu said, "Didn't the girl from Wei Hongqi's family hang herself because she was too embarrassed to wear pants at home?"

"I used to chat with her during my breaks from writing novels. I could tell that she was much healthier and more cheerful now, but when she talked about her miserable life back then, I couldn't help crying!"

"You asked me why I wrote it so realistically. This is the answer. Because the prototype is right next to me!"

Lin Zhengjun was stunned for a moment, and said with emotion: "I didn't expect you to think of interviewing Wei Hongqi's children!"

Tang Xiaofu was surprised and asked, "Why do you say that? Isn't the prototype of the story of "Little Shoes" based on the fact that Wei Hongqi's three children wore a pair of pants together?"

Lin Zhengjun: “…”

It seems that you are right to think so!

He quickly changed the subject and said with a smile, "I don't have any other suggestions for revisions. The completion is quite high. We'll send it to October in the spring. That will be considered as repaying Liu Xinwu for finding the courtyard house for us!"

"I believe it will be a hit!" Lin Zhengjun is very confident.

"Hehe, the name of Chu Kuangren will once again become famous all over the country!"

Tang Xiaofu said proudly: "However, from "Under the Hawthorn Tree" to "Farewell My Concubine" and then to "Little Shoes", they are all tear-jerking!"

"Haha, please call me the national strategic partner of handkerchief manufacturers!" Lin Zhengjun said jokingly.

He couldn't help but think of the fact that Xu Wei later became a strategic partner of CNPC and Sinopec, because when people listened to his songs, they wanted to quit their jobs and travel, which wasted fuel!

Tang Xiaofu also chuckled.

Lin Zhengjun said: "But this time, we have to sign together, Chu Kuangren and Tang Xiaofu!"

"What?"

"If you keep a pen name and become more famous, your works will be valuable in the future! My writing is just a hobby, and you are the main force!"

"That's okay too!"

At this moment, footsteps were heard at the door, and Lin Zhengjun saw his second brother-in-law Tao Yaowu and his two nephews Tao Lei and Tao Sheng strolling over.

"Uncle! Aunt!"

"Are there any firecrackers?"

"New Year's money?"

The two children were not shy at all. When they saw Lin Zhengjun and Tang Xiaofu, they hugged their thighs and raised their little faces to ask for fireworks and New Year's money.

"Everything is there! We've prepared it for you!"

Tang Xiaofu arranged a red envelope for each person.

The two kids opened the box immediately and screamed, "Wow, so many! Five dollars each!"

"This is the biggest red envelope we have received this year!"

"Aunt, you are so nice and beautiful!"

The two children immediately started to flatter her and made Tang Xiaofu very happy.

Tao Yaowu also looked at Tang Xiaofu in shock.

Each person was given five dollars!

As expected of an educated youth from the big city of Yanjing, he is so generous.

Lin Zhengjun immediately said: "Xiaofu, you gave too much, just give me one or two yuan as a token of your appreciation!"

Tang Xiaofu said: "It's our first meeting, so what's the big deal if I take more? Besides, it's my royalty, not yours!"

Tao Yaowu immediately said: "Give me the New Year's money!"

"No! You took all our New Year's money!"

"Last year's money was taken away, and we didn't spend a penny!" The two children were reluctant.

Tao Yaowu immediately started to try to fool people with his money, saying that he would save it for building a house or getting married in the future. In short, he talked for a long time before he finally got the money out of them.

"Brother-in-law, why are you here so early?"

Lin Zhengjun raised his wrist to check the time. It was just past eight o'clock. Considering the distance from Luoshan County to Huaibian County, he might have set out at six in the morning.

Tao Yaowu laughed and said, "Zhengjun, you have been away from the masses for too long. You don't know what it's like to visit relatives in the countryside!"

"It didn't snow these two days, but after 10 o'clock the snow melted and the ground was full of mud. The bicycle wheels were covered with mud and it was impossible to ride! We must set off before the weather thaws."

This is also the common situation when visiting relatives during the Spring Festival. If you ride a bicycle, you have to do it when there is ice on the surface, and go home later at night, waiting until it gets dark and the road is icy before going home.

Of course, if you're going to walk completely, you don't have to worry too much about this.

The second sister Lin Hongyu went to the old house to visit her parents, but after waiting for a while, they also came to the new house in the back mountain.

Because this year the Lin family planned to entertain guests at Lin Zhengjun’s new house in the back mountain, after all, it was a bit more spacious.

When he met his second sister, Lin Zhengjun asked about her spice business.

Lin Hongyu was very happy and said with a smile: "I have set up purchasing points in the supply and marketing cooperatives of various communes in Luoshan. It has been less than two months since I started trading. I have made a profit of about one thousand yuan in one month!"

"Awesome! That's more than I make in a year!"

Of course Tao Yaowu already knew how much money his wife had earned, but he still praised her like this at this moment.

Lin Hongyu became even more excited and said with a smile: "Now I can make more money than you. If there is anything happening in our family in the future, you have to listen to me. Listen to me in everything!"

Tao Yaowu was not angry at all, and smiled and said: "Look at what you said, when you are not making money, you are the one who has the final say at home!"

Lin Hongyu said proudly: "You must be more obedient in the future and follow my orders!"

Tao Yaowu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, you are indeed smarter and more intelligent than me!"

"You can't just follow my advice on everything. When a couple is together, they need to discuss everything together!"

Seeing Tao Yaowu's useless and unprincipled appearance, Lin Zhengjun felt a headache. You know, in his previous life, his brother-in-law got into trouble by engaging in speculation and profiteering, and it was actually his second sister who instigated him.

Lin Sanhuai also knew that his second daughter’s overly strong personality was not a good thing. She was too reckless and did not think things through.

So, Lin Sanhuai said, "Yaowu, if you have different opinions and can't make up your mind, go and talk to Zhengjun. You can't control her, but Zhengjun can!"

"You're the one who's against Tiangang! I'm your elder sister!" Lin Hongyu rolled her eyes and appeared unconvinced on the surface, but she admired Lin Zhengjun in her heart.

Seeing this, everyone laughed.

"Dad, Mom, Zhengjun, and his sister-in-law, Happy New Year!"

"Wow! Tao Lei and Tao Sheng have grown taller again!"

The family was chatting happily when Yang Kaixuan, pushing his bicycle, walked in with Lin Hongmei, who was holding a child.

There was a basket hanging on the handlebars, filled with gifts.

"Aunt, uncle, where is the New Year's money?"

Tao Lei and Tao Sheng started hugging my legs and asking for New Year's money again, without any courtesy at all.

"Yes, yes, we have both! One for each person!" Lin Hongmei was already prepared and hurriedly took out two red envelopes and stuffed them into the two children.

Tao Lei complained as soon as he opened the red envelope: "Aunt, you are so stingy! My aunt gave me five yuan, and you only gave me one yuan!"

Lin Hongmei's face suddenly turned red with embarrassment.

Lin Hongyu pulled her son over, slapped his butt twice, and said sternly: "Do you know how to talk? No matter how much money it is, it's all from your aunt!"

Tao Yaowu also hurriedly said: "This child, how can you not be sensible! One dollar is already a lot! Go apologize to your aunt!"

This is true. At that time, one dollar was equivalent to a city worker's one-day salary, and its purchasing power was very strong, no less than one hundred dollars in later generations.

Tao Lei hurriedly walked up to Lin Hongmei and said with a bashful look on his face: "Aunt, I shouldn't have said that. I apologize to you. Please don't be angry!"

"Children's words are innocent. If you don't talk and laugh, it won't be lively. It's New Year's Day, why are you taking it so seriously?"

Lin Hongmei glanced at Lin Hongyu and her husband, then touched Tao Lei's little head and said with a smile: "Auntie is not angry, Auntie knows you are just joking!"

Yang Kaixuan had a frank look on his face and said with a smile: "You can't use your aunt's standards to measure us. She is a literary star, a female top scholar, and can make money. None of us can compare to her!"

With just one sentence, he not only resolved his wife's embarrassment, but also praised Tang Xiaofu, making Lin Zhengjun praise her for her high emotional intelligence!

It seems like a waste of talent to be just a security officer in a bank!
