Back To The Age Of The '80s

Extra Story - Zhou Sitian

Zhou Sitian has never been a beauty at first glance in the traditional sense, because she has lived in a small coastal town all year round, her skin is a little dark, her eyes follow Zhao Qiuhua's, the narrow double eyelids are almost invisible, the bridge of the nose is straight, and the lips Neither thin nor thick, in the words of later generations, this is a natural high-level face.

This kind of face looks very good in front of the camera, but the rural fishing villages in the 80s obviously prefer the traditional round face and big eyes.

February 1982, 2 was a day that Zhou Sitian would never forget. That evening, when she returned home from school, she saw a crowd of people at her door.

"It's really heartless, Qiangzi is so kind to her. The whole Li family is supported by Qiangzi alone."

"Who says it's not? The last time I came out from the vegetable market and met her, I kindly told her that there were freshly killed old hens for sale, but she covered her nose and hid far away. I heard that she didn't even work in the kitchen."

"Not going to the kitchen? Then Li Qiang has to go out to sea and come back to cook?" A middle-aged woman seemed to hear something unbelievable and exclaimed.

"Here, isn't there that oil bottle? Although it was brought here for free, it is better than her mother."

Zhou Sitian heard their discussion from a distance, her lips were tightly pressed into a straight line.She has always known that she is an unwelcome presence in this small town, and she has been used to hearing such words since she was a child.

She pedaled her bicycle vigorously, and she rode towards home quickly. Dad is coming back soon, and Xiao Zheng, he doesn't want to come back by his own bicycle. If he walks back with Li Chaoyang, he should be 20 minutes later than himself. Or so, 20 minutes is enough time for her to get dinner ready.

Thinking of this, Zhou Sitian accelerated the speed of her feet again.

"Yo, I didn't go with that mother of yours."

When Zhou Sitian was pushing her bicycle to pass through the crowd, a sharp female voice suddenly sounded.

She turned her head, Zhou Sitian knew this woman, Yang Kaijian's mother, because of the captain of the production team, the Yang family and the Li family had never dealt with each other, Zhao Qiuhua's reputation in the town was so bad, this mother Yang contributed a lot.

"Aunt Wang." Zhou Sitian didn't understand the meaning of Wang Aijuan's words, and she didn't want to argue with this woman, so calling Aunt Wang was a measure of etiquette for juniors.

Wang Aijuan was furious when she saw Zhou Sitian's disregard for others, and the ridicule on her face became stronger.

"I said Sitian, Qiangzi is an honest man, and he may not be able to say that, but we folks in the village can't watch your mother and daughter bully honest people. You were brought here by your mother, and now your mother is following you." The wild man ran away. Why, you, an outsider, still want to steal blood from the Li family?"

Wang Aijuan's words were hard to hear, and the women next to her pulled her sleeves to signal her not to continue.Wang Aijuan snorted lightly, and didn't say any more, it was to give face to her companion.

Zhou Sitian's ears were buzzing, what do you mean, what do you mean "your mother ran away with a wild man"?

"Aunt Wang, what do you mean?" Zhou Sitian obviously felt her vocal cords tremble a little, recalling Zhao Qiuhua's rare call to stop her this morning, as if he inadvertently told her where the family savings was, and that person occasionally showed it Zhou Sitian only felt a chill rise from the soles of his feet due to his dislike and incompatibility with this small town, which instantly froze his limbs.

No, definitely not.With a pale face, she almost staggered into the house.

There were two people sitting in the living room at home, Li Qiang and Zheng Jianguo. When they heard the door opening, they raised their heads almost at the same time. Zhou Sitian keenly felt that Zheng Jianguo looked at her with complicated meanings.

Next to the small round table of the two, cigarette butts were scattered all over the floor, there were two empty wine bottles on the table, and the glasses in front of them were all empty.

"Father." Zhou Sitian said dully.

Li Qiang paused for a moment, then stood up, "I'm back, put my schoolbag away, and I'll cook." His voice was calm, and there was no strong emotion on his face, but Zhou Sitian noticed Li Qiang has never looked up at her since he entered the door.

The panic in Zhou Sitian's heart was about to spread.

"Qiangzi, I'll go first. If you have anything to do, please come to our house and tell me." Zheng Jianguo also stood up.

Li Qiang nodded, turned around and walked towards the back room.

Zhou Sitian stood there in a daze. When Zheng Jianguo passed by her, he glanced at her, and then sighed deeply, feeling sorry for the child.

Zhou Sitian seemed to be frozen in place. After about a quarter of an hour, she moved her feet and walked quickly into the house.

Li Qiang is cooking.

The kitchen in the 80s was still an old firewood stove. There was a cement stove next to the kitchen. The pot was huge, more than twice the size of the pots in later generations. There is also a square opening with a raging flame burning inside.

Li Qiang's movements are very skillful. He piled wood of different thicknesses inside, and then lit it with hay. Seeing Zhou Sitian coming in, he fiddled with the flame and said, "I didn't go out to buy vegetables today. I steamed it for two A piece of fish, a few rice cakes simmered, let’s make do with it, tomorrow dad will go out and buy meat for you.”

Zhou Sitian's eyes became hot, and she almost shed tears.Before she entered the kitchen, she had already looked in Zhao Qiuhua's room. The clothes Zhao Qiuhua loved to wear and the personal items she brought when she married were gone. leave.

She's gone, she's gone.If he didn't even tell her, what would she do? Zhou Sitian was at a loss.She is not Li Qiang's daughter, she is the oil bottle that Zhao Qiuhua brought over. Now that Zhao Qiuhua is gone, what is she in this family?

"Peng" The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground came from outside the kitchen, and the dark-faced Li Zheng walked quickly from outside the house, "Dad, they said that mother left, why did she leave? When will she come back? Why didn't you tell me?"

He seemed a little agitated, and when he walked past Zhou Sitian quickly, his footsteps paused but did not stop.

In the kitchen, only the breathing of the three people was left. Li Qiang paused for a moment when he fiddled with the firewood, then put down the tongs in his hand, and came out of the hut.

Zhou Sitian could clearly see that Li Qiang's eye sockets were a little red, but he didn't know if it was from the fire or for some other reason.He walked to Li Zheng's side and put his hand on Li Zheng's shoulder.

"It's my father's fault. From today on, let's live as three of us, you, me, and your sister." Li Qiang's voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.

"I don't, I don't want it!" Li Zheng became excited all of a sudden, he slapped Li Qiang's hand away, and rushed out the door, "I'll go find her!"

Li Qiang's hand froze in the air, and it took a long time before he slowly let it go.

"Sitian, go and see your brother." His voice was calm, without any emotion.

Zhou Sitian nodded vigorously, and then ran towards the direction Li Zheng left.Li Qiang's words dissipated a lot of the panic in her heart, at least, she could still stay in this home.very nice.

Zhou Sitian found Li Zheng on a hillside in Qinghe Town. This hillside is in a good location, and you can see the whole Qinghe Town when you look down.

"It's you, it's you, isn't it? Mom wants to leave because she sees you every day, so she can't stand it, right!" Li Zheng looked at Zhou Sitian's eyes, which could almost burst into flames.

Zhou Sitian clenched her teeth so tightly that she could almost feel the rust in her mouth.

Zhao Qiuhua said more than once when she was emotional that Zhou Sitian's existence made her sick.Zhao Qiuhua's attitude deeply affected Li Zheng's attitude towards this sister, so the relationship between Li Zheng and Zhou Sitian has never been called harmonious.

I'm sorry, these three words are stuck in my throat but I can't say anything, why is everything her fault, is it just because she is the daughter of a strong woman?

Then, one after another, the only girl was exhausted even more.

Because of the purchase and renovation of the ship from the commune, the Li family had only paid off their foreign debts in the first two months, and the economy was really not well off.Zhou Sitian is going to take the college entrance examination this year, and her grades are very good. The teacher at the school told Li Qiang that she can be admitted to a university in eastern Shanghai.

The teachers at the school knew about the Li family's situation, and they asked Li Qiang cautiously, did they plan to let Zhou Sitian go to college?

Li Qiang was silent for a while, and then resolutely uttered the word "Shang".

Afterwards, the frequency of Li Qiang's going to sea increased significantly. People in the town said he was looking for Zhao Qiuhua, but Li Qiang didn't explain it when he heard it. Because he had his own boat, he could control the time and place of going to sea by himself. Li Qiang The harvest is only a lot more than that of the production team, which makes everyone in the town very jealous.

There is a saying among the older generation of people who went to sea that their business is to beg for food from God, and their heads are hanging on their belts.God is happy that they can come back alive, but once God is not happy, the sea is their final destination.

With the improvement of fishing boat conditions, the danger of going to sea has been reduced a lot, but no matter how low the danger is, it is still a desperate struggle.Finally one day, Li Qiang sailed out in the morning and never came back.

Li Zheng wanted to run out like crazy, and the siblings had the most intense quarrel ever.Zhou Sitian blocked the door to prevent Li Zheng from going out, but people are tired and need to rest, so Li Zheng slipped out while Zhou Sitian was sleeping.

"It's really unlucky for the Li family to let these two broom stars come in, and now they don't even have a blood left."

"No, it's been two days, and the luck is more than good."

"Then what about the things left by Li Qiang? They won't belong to that broom star. There is no one in the Li family."

"Of course not, Jiaogong can't give broom stars either."

After Li Qiang disappeared, Li Zheng went missing again. The worry, panic, and rumors from the outside world almost overwhelmed this young girl who had just grown up.

"Tianniu, come out quickly! Xiaozheng is back!" Zheng's aunt trotted all the way over, leaning against the edge of the door and panting.

Zhou Sitian suddenly sat up from the chair, and then ran towards the door like a cannonball.

"Oh, don't run so fast, I'll go with you!" Aunt Zheng shouted loudly behind her.

The man was found by Zheng Jianguo. When Zheng Jianguo found him, Li Zheng hadn't eaten for several days, and he was still suffering from a high fever. According to Zheng Jianguo, he was hanging on with such a breath.

"Tianniu, let's watch, you go and ask Dr. Zhang to come over." Zheng's aunt put a wrung cold towel on Li Zheng's forehead, and then said.

Dr. Zhang is a doctor at the Qinghe Town Health Center. Qinghe Town is far away from Yantian County, and the transportation is inconvenient. Generally, people in the town look for him when they have headaches.

"Hey!" Zhou Sitian responded loudly and ran out.The moment she saw Li Zhengan lying quietly on the bed, the hesitation and uneasiness in her heart seemed to disappear all of a sudden. It's great that you are still here, not just me.

However, Li Zheng's situation is not optimistic. He hasn't eaten for a few days, and he has a high fever close to [-] degrees. "This high fever has been going on for two days. Even if I go to the county hospital, I will use these medicines. Let fate do it. "

Zhou Sitian clenched her teeth tightly, trying not to show her weakness and helplessness.No, no, Xiao Zheng will be fine, and he can't be!

She didn't close her eyes all night long, using the local method in the town, rubbing her body with alcohol and changing towels frequently, maybe God saw the sincerity of this girl, and her brother woke up.

Xu had gone through life and death, and Zhou Sitian found that Li Zheng, who had awakened again, seemed to have matured a lot. At least for his sister, he no longer repulsed and loathed him, but truly regarded himself as a family member.

Next, everyone in the production team headed by Yang Sheng wanted to take away the Li family's boat, but was lightly beaten back by Li Zheng. The clear logic and understanding of how to deal with the world made Zhou Sitian deeply understand the brother's different.

What happened next became even more miraculous. Zhou Sitian's nerves collapsed due to her proficiency in English and her inadvertent temperament that didn't fit in with the small town.

That feeling of being out of place is similar to Zhao Qiuhua but not the same. Zhou Sitian can't tell the difference, but I always feel that they... don't seem to belong to Qinghe Town.

Li Zheng made friends with the foreign friends who came to investigate. The leaders of the county, city and even the province made a special trip to Li's house to discuss matters with Li Zheng. Li Zheng told the foreign friends to set the address of the foreign-funded factory in Qinghe Town.

Each of these piles made Zhou Sitian feel unreal.

But... Sister, we are each other's only relatives.This sentence was uttered from Li Zheng's mouth, and it has been deeply imprinted in Zhou Sitian's heart. She and Li Zheng are the only and closest relatives.

So no matter what happens, she will definitely stand with Li Zheng and face it together.

Zhou Sitian hates Zhou Deqing, and that feeling of disgust runs through her entire 18 years of life, until that day...

That was the first time Zhou Sitian saw her nominal biological father, and it was also the last time.It turned out that that man, like other fathers, had two eyes and one nose, and would...would give up his life for his daughter.

She watched the man standing in front of her with her own eyes, the sound of the sharp dagger piercing into the flesh, and the sound of bright red blood gushing out.She will never forget it in her life.

He obviously died to save himself, why did they put the murderous sinner on his head!

Power, wealth, status, these things are so important!Kneeling in front of Zhou Deqing's posthumous photo, Zhou Sitian took a deep breath, Dad, I will help you rectify your name, I swear.

Because of Zhou Deqing's "murder", Zhou Sitian was overwhelmed by rumors and rumors, so the two siblings left their hometowns and went south to Xiangjiang.

This was the first turning point in Zhou Sitian's fate, where she met Liu Zhidong, an actor's agent.

Be a star?

This is a term that would never appear in Zhou Sitian's first 18 years of life.she?star?It's just ridiculous.

However, Liu Zhidong's perseverance shook Zhou Sitian's heart.

Working in a tea restaurant, it is easy for her to hear all kinds of gossip from the guests drinking afternoon tea. In the 80s, the golden age of Hong Kong's entertainment circle, there was no shortage of celebrity gossip.

The story that a certain star and a rich man have to tell, a certain star married into a wealthy family.Stars seem to be synonymous with wealth.

Can I really be a star?Can I really get the wealth, power and status I want?Zhou Sitian had this idea in his heart.

When Liu Zhidong took her to the square and saw the pictures on the TV screens in the electrical window, she suddenly made up her mind.

In order to let her younger brother who has not yet found her whereabouts see her, to rectify the name of her father who went to the earth with grievances, to have the strength to protect her relatives, and to no longer experience that kind of despair and powerlessness, she must be strong and use her own hands to Gain wealth, power and status!
