Reborn in 1977

Early the next morning, taking advantage of the No. 3 boat from Lujiawan delivering goods, Chen Fan drove his car onto it and led the way with his small yacht.

When they arrived at the upstream cargo dock of the prefectural committee, he first parked the small yacht, then drove ashore and went straight home.

As usual, Jiang Tiantian and Jiang Lili were already there, starting their studies.

Hearing the noise, they immediately came out to open the door.

He drove the car into the yard, and as soon as he got out, Jiang Lili stepped forward and smiled, "Zhang, the company commander, and Xingxiu are married, right?"

Chen Fan nodded, still holding a bag in his hand, gestured, and walked inside, saying, "Their wedding was postponed for a week..."

After hearing Chen Fan's explanation, Jiang Lili couldn't stop smiling. Hearing him describe the scene of the wedding the day before yesterday, her face was filled with reverie, and the longing in her eyes almost overflowed.

There was no fireplace in the living room. Chen Fan placed the bag on the Eight Immortals table in the living room, then went straight to the study. The bamboo charcoal in the fireplace was burning brightly, and the room was warm, almost like the heating in the north.

He took off his coat, hung it on the coat rack, and just as he turned around to sit on the sofa, Jiang Tiantian placed a cup of hot tea on the coffee table beside him.

After putting down the teacup, Jiang Tiantian walked up to her sister, and while Chen Fan was drinking tea, she secretly poked her face and gave her a look.

So envious, do you want to marry him today?!

Jiang Lili immediately came back to her senses, her fair face flushed red, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at anyone, but her sister raised her face up.

Chen Fan took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, turned to look at the two sisters, one with flushed cheeks, the other winking, and couldn't help asking, "What are you doing?"

The two sisters quickly stood at attention, turned to look at him together, and said in unison, "Ah? Nothing."

Chen Fan's mouth twitched. He glanced at them, feeling that they were acting strangely, not knowing what they were doing.

If they didn't want to say, then forget it.

He took out a stack of money from his inner pocket and handed it to Jiang Lili, "Here, this is your dividend for this year. I collected it for you."

"Oh, the dividend?"

Jiang Lili jumped forward and took the money in her hands, and the red glow that had just faded climbed back onto her cheeks.

It wasn't excitement, but still shyness. Compared to this stack of money, what she cared more about was that Chen Fan had collected it for her!

Many educated youths had left halfway before, but when it came to the year-end dividend, apart from the locals who would come to collect it themselves, the outsiders basically entrusted Captain Yang to send it to them by post.

Speaking of which, this was all legal labor income, and except for a very few spendthrifts, no one would give it up. Even if there were any who gave it up, it was because the amount was so small that it wasn't worth the trip.

There were also those who collected it on behalf of others, but they were basically parents or couples.

Otherwise, the team wouldn't give the money to others casually!

Jiang Lili held the money, her eyes narrowed into crescent moons, not even looking at how much money there was.

Jiang Tiantian shook her head helplessly, her eyes falling on the money in her hand, and she was immediately surprised, "Oh, why is there so much?"

Her sister had told her how much the production team's dividend was every time before, so she knew very well how much the production team's dividend was, but the stack of money in her sister's hand was probably at least 1,000 yuan!

Seeing that Jiang Lili was only smiling, he thought she knew that this year's dividend was high. When Jiang Tiantian spoke, he saw that Jiang Lili seemed to come back to her senses, holding the money and almost jumping up, "Oh, why is there so much?"

Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but laugh.

This girl was really interesting, much more interesting than when she was in the production team before. At that time, she would blush at every turn and didn't dare to say much. Now that she was out of the cage, she seemed to have turned back into that 13- or 14-year-old girl, who liked to fantasize and was often distracted, and her behavior was much more cheerful.

Jiang Lili's face turned even redder from his laughter, but at this time, she no longer had the initial anxiety and患得患失, so she pouted and hummed娇憨地.

Chen Fan immediately coughed and changed the subject, saying, "This year, the team is engaged in breeding, and also set up a decoration team and a pottery factory, so the income has increased a lot. A work point is worth 6毛钱. You earned a total of more than 2,000 work points last year, and after deducting the advanced food rations, rapeseed oil, cotton, and other things, there is a total dividend of 1353 yuan and 6毛."

Saying that, he raised his finger and pointed, "Count it."

Jiang Lili smiled and shook her head, "No need to count, I trust what you give me."

Chen Fan coughed again, "Counting is not about the result, but about enjoying the process!"

Hearing this, the two sisters couldn't help but chuckle.

Jiang Tiantian also said, "Xiao Li, just count it."

She looked at the salary in her sister's hand, her eyes full of amazement, "Your money is higher than Mom's salary. It turns out that the production team can earn so much money."

Jiang Lili raised her head, her face full of proud look, "Other production teams don't have so much money. It's all because Xiao Fan gave the team ideas and took the lead in doing it, so they can earn so much."

She turned to look at Chen Fan, "At that time, I also helped raise rabbits."

Chen Fan nodded, and said seriously, "That's true, without you, I wouldn't be able to take care of those rabbits."

Jiang Lili immediately smiled, feeling honored.

After a pause, Chen Fan smiled again, "Also, this credit should actually be attributed to Secretary Yang and the others in the brigade headquarters. If they were timid and didn't dare to do anything, no matter how great my ability is, it would be useless."

Not to mention now, even a few years later, or even more than ten years later, there are still many village cadres who dare not do this and dare not do that. The neighboring villages have already become rich, but they are still guarding the old ways, and even saying sarcastic remarks from the Great Leap Forward period, holding broken bowls and mocking others.

If Secretary Yang and the others were all this kind of people, it is estimated that Chen Fan would at most be a brigade veterinarian now, and don't even think about other things!

Not to mention anything else, first of all, it would be impossible for him to be the broadcaster, and it would be impossible for him to run a veterinary class, and the invented method of removing foreign objects from the respiratory tract could not be reported, because if you don't do it, you won't make mistakes.

The other things behind it are even more unnecessary to say.

So when watching TV in later generations, people often see people thanking the policies and thanking the leaders. Maybe some people are saying polite words, but there are definitely people who are saying sincere words.

Heroes also need a platform.

Otherwise, Chen Fan would not stay in Lujiawan for a long time. He would definitely try to jump out. He would be crazy to stay in this kind of place.

Therefore, whether the countryside is good or not depends on the leaders and the environment.

The current Lujiawan is pretty good. If it weren't for Little Jiang, Chen Fan would rather stay in his big villa in the countryside. Why come to the prefectural committee? Do I not have enough to do?!

As for life, in his opinion, in an era lacking entertainment activities, the city is not as good as his big villa in the countryside.

Hearing Chen Fan's words, Jiang Lili also had a moment of trance.

What she thought of was not making money, but her experience in Lujiawan.

After I left back then, aside from the other educated youths ostracizing me, the villagers of Lujiawan outwardly kept their distance, but in reality, they gave me a lot of help.

For one thing, just knowing how to do farm work was enough to stump a little girl like me, who had rarely even done housework at home before.

Although there were a few kind older educated youths who taught me, more often it was those villagers who deliberately slowed down their pace and taught me little by little in front of me, or some aunties who deliberately said unpleasant things like "city miss," but they didn't even care about their own work and taught me how to do farm work bit by bit.

Not to mention, compared to the experiences of some educated youths in Yunnan, Lujiawan could already be considered "heaven."

Hearing Chen Fan's words now, and thinking about my own situation, I couldn't help but feel somewhat fortunate that I went to a place where good people were in charge, otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

Chen Fan took another sip of tea, looked up at her, "What are you thinking about?"

"Huh?"

Jiang Lili came back to her senses, "Oh, nothing."

Then she sat on the stool next to her, happily counting the money.

Chen Fan held his teacup, turned to look at Jiang Tiantian, and said with a smile, " মিষ্টি, the bags outside are the cured meats I brought. Take them home later."

Jiang Tiantian pouted. This guy was four years younger than her, yet he called her by her first name directly. He really wasn't polite at all.

But she didn't say anything, just said "Oh" and turned to go outside.

After a while, Jiang Tiantian walked in, her face full of surprise, "Why are there so many things?"

Chen Fan smiled and said, "Actually, it's not much, just some sausages I made myself, and some puffed rice candy and sesame candy for the New Year."

He turned to look at Jiang Lili, who had finished counting the money, and said with a smile, "Lili made the New Year's goods last year. I didn't know how to make them at that time. I tried to make them myself a few days ago, and I felt it was okay, so I brought you some."

Jiang Lili raised her head and grinned, "Whatever you make must be delicious."

Every time Chen Fan came over, the two sisters couldn't concentrate on their books, so they simply started preparing lunch.

Jiang Tiantian took off her coat, put on a sleeveless cotton vest, and said to Chen Fan, "You should be free these days, right? Are you staying here? How about I stew a pig's trotter for you tonight?"

Chen Fan shook his head, "No, I have to go back in the afternoon. My evenings have been arranged for this period, with each team taking turns inviting me to dinner, all the way until the 28th of the twelfth lunar month."

"Huh?"

Jiang Tiantian blinked, "Every night?"

The smile on Jiang Lili's face also faded a lot, and she looked at Chen Fan with a somewhat resentful look.

Chen Fan smiled and let out a long breath, spread his hands, and said, "There's no way, they said they wanted to hold a thank-you banquet for the teacher. If I don't go, it means I'm not giving them face. The team was too busy for a while, and it wasn't easy to wait until these few days to finish, so I could only arrange it at this time."

Hearing him say this, although she was a little unhappy, Jiang Lili still nodded, "You helped the team so much. If they don't invite you to dinner to express their gratitude, they definitely won't feel good about it."

After a pause, she said again, "Since you have engagements every night, then don't run back and forth these days. It's not safe on the road to run back and forth every day."

Speaking of this, a few hesitations appeared on her face, "Then, where will you spend New Year's Eve?"

Jiang Tiantian looked at her younger sister, bit her lip, and said to Chen Fan, "Xiaofan, why don't you come to our house for the New Year this year?"

As soon as Jiang Lili heard this, her pretty face turned red. She was just about to lower her head, but she braced herself and looked up, looking at Chen Fan expectantly.

Now that the two of them have confirmed their relationship, it wouldn't be impolite to go to her house for the New Year, right?

Chen Fan pursed his lips and thought for a while, then looked at the two of them and shook his head gently.

In the disappointed gazes of the two sisters, he said with a smile, "This year, I plan to spend the New Year alone in Lujiawan. After all, that's my home."

Jiang Lili opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn't say anything.

Jiang Tiantian glanced at her sister, her eyes twitched slightly, she changed the subject and asked with a smile, "Then when will you come to our house during the New Year?"

Chen Fan turned to look at her and said with a smile, "Of course, it's on the second day of the New Year."

Hearing this, Jiang Lili became happy again, and the corners of her mouth were raised so high that she couldn't suppress it.

The second day of the New Year is the day when married daughters return to their parents' home and sons-in-law pay New Year's greetings to their fathers-in-law.

Jiang Tiantian also smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go cook first. You guys chat for a while."

After speaking, she turned and went to the kitchen. Only Jiang Lili and Chen Fan were left in the study.

At this time, without her sister by her side, Jiang Lili puffed up her cheeks and couldn't help but pout.

Chen Fan looked at her and said with a smile, "Are you unhappy?"

Jiang Lili shook her head, "No."

Her lips moved a few times, and she lowered her head and said, "It's just that, thinking of you spending the New Year alone, I feel a little sorry for you."

Chen Fan raised his eyebrows slightly, and the look in his eyes became several times gentler.

For this little girl who always blushed, these words were undoubtedly the most explicit love words.

After pondering for two seconds, he stretched out his hand and gently held Jiang Lili's hand. Jiang Lili suddenly tensed up, and couldn't help but glance at the door. After a few seconds, she slowly relaxed.

Chen Fan held her palm and gently stroked it.

Since the autumn harvest, she hadn't done much farm work, but had only taken turns with Huang Ying and a few others to be responsible for housework. Now, after a few months, her small hands, which originally had a layer of calluses, had become less rough, and even the back of her hands had a bit of delicacy.

One of Jiang Lili's hands was held, and her heart was beating violently, but she didn't dare to look up. Sometimes she was fascinated by the tenderness of the big hand, and sometimes she worried about whether her sister would suddenly come in. Her heart was in a mess, and her mind was like chaos.

After a while, Chen Fan pulled her up, walked to the piano opposite, sat down, uncovered the piano lid, and turned to look at her.

At this time, Jiang Lili was close at hand, and the cloud-like blush on her face was clearly visible. Her delicate and clear eyebrows were smoothly close to her skin, and a layer of fine fluff on her delicate skin showed a bit of youthfulness, making him faintly distracted.

After a pause of two seconds, Chen Fan came back to his senses and said with a smile, "What piece do you want to hear?"

Jiang Lili took a deep breath, plucked up her courage and turned her head. At this time, Chen Fan's face was closer to her than ever before. Her eyes jumped a few times, the corners of her eyes curved down, and she smiled, "I like whatever you play."

Chen Fan pursed his lips and raised his eyebrows, "Then I'll play 'Two Tigers'?"

Jiang Lili pouted, "I hate it."

Chen Fan laughed, put his hands on the piano keys, turned to look at her, "'Für Elise', for you."
