Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 1148 Big Fish
Early in the morning on the 16th day of the first lunar month, the threshold of Old Li's house was almost broken down as villagers lined up to give their gifts.

At that time, Li Jiankun hadn't gotten up yet, but he had woken up and was in high spirits, doing morning exercises with Miss Shen. He only heard the lazy Gui Fei angrily say, "No need to buy meal tickets, I can afford it!"

A villager joked, yes, yes, Brother Fei, you are the reincarnation of the God of Wealth, and you are rich. The problem is that life is better now, and we can still afford it. Hey, this is not called meal ticket money, it is a token of my appreciation, and you have to accept it.

I just can't push it away.

What's worse is that some people are tens of thousands of miles away, but after following the members again, they will arrive again.

There wasn't even a whimper in advance.

Exercising early is good, exercising early is wonderful, exercising early is terrific. After exercising, Miss Shen is radiant and beautiful; Li Jiankun is refreshed, in high spirits, and his blood is boiling... On the morning of the first month of the lunar year, he dared to wear a single piece of clothing and go out to enjoy the breeze. He strolled along the main road in the village, which has become a cement road, and greeted the people who were setting up the banquet. After a few steps, someone came to find him and said that he didn't know which rich and inhumane guy had sent a whole Liberation truck of fireworks and firecrackers.

"Is this happening?"

I followed the man to the village entrance and took a look. Wow, it was as expected.

A green Jiefang truck, the back bed was fully loaded with fireworks and firecrackers. The goods were not flat, but stacked like a mountain. I was afraid that they were directly bought from the fireworks factory.

The driver was a very annoying old man who was deliberately playing tricks on me.

Li Jiankun glanced at him and chuckled, "My uncle Wang is particular."

The driver's expression froze.

Lao Wang's family actually wanted to go back, but the wind was howling coldly, and the huge Qingxi Refrigerator Factory was swaying in the wind and rain. Lao Wang couldn't leave, and it would definitely be better with his family around when he was distressed and depressed, so none of them went back.

There is nothing that can be done about this matter. The outcome won't be too bad, but suffering is inevitable. Isn't it the same for Li Jiankun?

He just had a clear mind, and didn't look or think about it. Of course, the comfort brought by his wife played a big role.

A group of young and strong people in the village were busy unloading the goods. The Liberation truck was surrounded by naughty children, who were in the way and could not be driven away even if they were driven away. However, no matter whether they were the ones who were driven away or not, they were all happy and excited.

In the 1980s, when there was a lack of entertainment activities, setting off fireworks and firecrackers was an indispensable activity during the New Year.

However, good fireworks are not cheap. Fireworks like the fireworks towed on a car, magic bullets, and four-season fireworks are usually not affordable for individuals. They are only organized by groups occasionally. Even if people are not short of money, how many big fireworks can they buy for the New Year?

The size of a car like this is shocking in those days.

It makes everyone look forward to it, knowing that we will have a feast for our eyes today.

"Let's move to the brigade and store it there. There's an empty house over there. Hey! You little brats, don't go over there and play with fire. If you blow up the brigade, your parents will beat you to a pulp!"

Li Jiankun said viciously.

Although the fireworks look beautiful, you can’t see anything in the daytime.

No matter how lively it is at night, there will be no lack of excitement at noon.

The air was filled with the aroma of delicious food that is usually not cooked at home, and many people couldn't help but drool.

There is a rice field in the village, which was arranged into a large kitchen in a few days. A tent was propped up with bamboo poles and oilcloth, and underneath was a temporary yellow mud stove. Since there was no suitable chopping board, a door panel was used instead. It was really taken down from the door of the house. Old Li's kitchen has no door now, and the rest are contributions from the villagers.

Tuk-tuk-tuk...

shhhhhh...

The women who helped even used tools like foot basins and shoe brushes.

The cook who was hired from outside was smoking one cigarette after another, which was a gift from the host. He had no time to flick the ashes off the cigarette. When the wind blew, no one knew whether the ashes fell into the pot.

There is really no particularity at all.

But the food is definitely not shabby, with dishes like hairtail as wide as a palm, flower crabs oozing with roe, scallops bigger than the face, and conch shells that can be used as trumpets. If they were served in a restaurant in a big city, they would be so delicious that even many men in suits would be nervous when ordering them.

By the time the sun was high in the sky, the table was ready.

Even less particular.

They were lined up along the main road of the village, almost reaching the outside of the village. Now all the living rooms in Qingxi Dian were empty, and all the tables and chairs had been requisitioned.

Looking from a high place, it looks like a long wooden snake.

Really spectacular.

Today, Qingxidian is becoming more and more prosperous.

Li Jiankun heard from his uncle that last year alone, there were seven outside wives who married into the village, three of whom had commercial grain household registration, like Wang Ergou's wife, who was also the child of a cadre.

Li Jiankun was immediately confused when he heard this, probably because he was a little drunk. He then rubbed the head of Xiao Ping'an, who didn't even know what a wife was, and said with a smile, "You can even get the daughter of a prime minister or a general."

Xiao Ping'an asked what "arch" meant?

Everyone at the table burst into laughter. Shen Hongyi pinched Li Jiankun hard under the table, her pretty face flushed.

Fu Qiao'e's eyes were shining and she was smiling from ear to ear with joy.

Near noon, villagers gathered from all directions, mixed but not chaotic.

There was no seating arrangement at the banquet, but no one sat down before the elders. The old people were pushed to the seats at the top by everyone, no matter if they were old men with crutches or old ladies in quilted coats.

The adults seemed to be passing the children along, supporting each other.

The naughty kids, who had been criticized in a hurry, looked at him curiously.

The villagers, who generally have little education, cannot give any profound ideas, but when they were children, the adults did this, so they think they should also ask their children to do the same.

clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap...

The wedding banquet started at twelve noon.

The helpers who carried the trays were all young men in their twenties, with nimble legs and strong hands. They could resist the temptation of delicious food better than their younger brothers and sisters, and their parents didn't mind letting them suffer a little.

At the dining table, the men were toasting each other, the women were taking care of the children and enjoying their meals, and the young men were serving the dishes.

Harmonious and beautiful.

Li Jiankun and Shen Hongyi were arranged with seats, but it didn't matter whether they came or not. They each held wine and drinks and started toasting from the first table.

Even though Li Jiankun had a line of younger brothers waiting to drink with him, and even though Li Xiaomei, who was in charge of pouring the wine, was very cunning, Li Jiankun was already dizzy before he had even finished one-third of the journey.

After walking two-thirds of the way, I stumbled and lost my way.

After walking all the way, he put his arm around Shen Hongyi's shoulder and said, "Shanhe, today is my brother's wedding, we must eat and drink well!"

A voice came from my ear: "Send her to the bridal chamber!"

Some people started laughing, and those who were nearby had strange expressions.

The man who was shouting took off one of his shoes, put one foot on the chair, looked around like a big shot, and said confidently: "What's the matter? I gave you a gift!"

Everyone in the village knew about the conflict between Li Dazhuang and Jiankun, but how it was resolved remained a mystery.

To be honest, Li Dazhuang is a person who cares a lot about his reputation.

Knowing that Jiankun had held a wedding banquet in the capital, the couple slept together early. This time, no one in the village showed mercy. The love was so deep that the wine glass was so full. Li Jiankun lay down very straight, and when he woke up slowly, the night outside the window was hazy.

"Oops, my fireworks haven't been set off yet!"

It’s good to be young. The drunkenness will disappear in a few hours and you will be full of energy again.

There is no one at home.

When I got outside, I saw a row of light bulbs propped up by bamboo poles along the main road of the village. The banquet continued in the evening without any formality. The leftovers from lunch were served and everyone enjoyed them in a lively and enjoyable manner. In the countryside, it is called "getting rid of the sour taste".

The nearest wine table was placed under the dirt floor in front of Lao Li's house.

Hearing the noise, everyone looked up.

"Yo, wake up."

"Are you okay, Jiankun?"

"I said your alcohol tolerance is not that good, you need to practice!"

"Come on, young people, what else do you have to do after a nap? Come down and continue."

Li Jiankun smiled and said, "I have something to do and need to go set off fireworks."

"When there's no one in the village, those little bastards have been thinking about it all day. Your sister finished a bowl of rice and rushed over very quickly."

At this time, Shen Hongyi came running over with the bowl and chopsticks in her hands, and scolded the people who had urged Li Jiankun to come down to drink, "I say, uncles and aunts, don't do this. After all, it's a happy day. Can you at least leave someone who can move for me tonight?"

Hahahaha!

"This girl is easy to get along with." "It's only been a few days, and she has adapted to the local customs."

"Okay, okay, okay. Just for this, I'll let Jiankun go."

"Have a baby soon, and then I'll drink."

Shen Hongyi spoke in a majestic manner. When she came to Li Jiankun, her face was flushed. She handed a bowl of steaming hot food to her husband and said, "Eat something. We just drank alcohol at noon."

Li Jiankun smiled slyly, "Well, otherwise I wouldn't have the energy to do that at night."

"I'm going to kill you..." Shen Hongyi glanced at the ground below, hid her face behind him, and this time used both of her waist-twisting hands.

There is movement at the village branch.

boom!
First, a colorful chain shot straight into the sky.

Immediately afterwards, four or five colorful chains rose up and caught up.

Sizzle! Snap! Snap!
呲呲!

clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap...

The sky is full of sparkles, and the trees are full of fireworks.

Shen Hongyi hugged Li Jiankun from behind, stood on tiptoe, laid her little face on his shoulder, and whispered softly, "You're so beautiful."

Li Jiankun turned his face to her side, touched her head which was fragrant with bee flower shampoo, and said softly: "The beautiful things are still to come. My little sister doesn't understand the concept of slow and steady success. She will definitely pursue a grand and exciting life."

as predicted.

Soon, the sky, which was like dark blue velvet satin, exploded with endless splendor.

----

Bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang bang!
There was a flame on a hill in the county.

A group of "camouflage uniforms" seemed to have fallen from the sky, advancing towards the mountainside in a siege from the foot of the mountain, but were met with powerful firepower.

On the mountainside, there is a brightly lit house, which is built very fashionably, like a foreign villa estate that one has only seen in movies.

There are many rumors about this hill and this fashionable villa.

It is said that an overseas Chinese who went abroad in his early years returned to his hometown to retire.

It is said that a meritorious person was recuperating here.

Some say he was a gangster boss who gathered a group of desperate criminals and became the king of the mountain.

...

Ordinary people can neither tell what is true nor what is false, and they will not bother to verify it. They just treat it as a topic of conversation after dinner.

The villa was built with great care, and they might have anticipated that such a day would come. The terrain was such that it was easy to defend but difficult to attack, and there was no shortage of firearms. The people inside became daring and formed a standoff, which they were unable to conquer for a long time.

at the same time.

On a loess road two kilometers away from here, a white van was driving leisurely.

There was a different atmosphere in the carriage.

"It's over, it's over. My 'hometown' is going to be gone."

"Damn it, where did all these camouflage uniforms suddenly appear from?"

"I haven't heard anything yet. There must be something fishy going on!"

"Luckily, my eldest brother was smart and didn't forget to arrange someone to keep watch on New Year's Eve, otherwise we wouldn't even have time to escape!"

"Brother, what should we do now?"

The man who was called Big Brother by several people was a short, fat, dark-faced man with a sturdy build. At this moment, his face was as gloomy as water.

He glanced at the black canvas bag at his feet and started cursing.

It happened too suddenly, and they didn't even have time to pack more money. Thinking of the banknotes left in the villa, the black-faced man's heart was bleeding.

Why would people like them risk their lives on the edge of a knife?
As a result, I made a lot of money, but I couldn't take it out. There is nothing more frustrating in the world than this.

The people who came to suppress them this time were definitely not from the county, and they didn't even seem to be from the city. Thinking of this, the black-faced man's heart sank.

Whoever wants to get him is a big shot.

I am lucky to have escaped with my life.

As for getting the money back, I'm afraid it's impossible even in my dreams.

Snapped!
The black-faced man kicked the canvas bag.

They can all be kicked.

What can you do with just these few cents?
And there is a high probability that you will be wanted and live on the run from then on. Without money, you will not be able to enjoy life and will have difficulty moving forward.

"Damn! We're running for our lives, but the bastards are still setting off fireworks. I really want to go over and kill these beasts!" One person pointed outside the car window and cursed.

The fireworks were beautiful and the scene was grand.

But at this moment, it is really impossible to make them happy.

The black-faced boss suddenly laughed, patted the speaker on the forehead and said, "Yongzi, you are smart!"

Yongzi: “???”

"Brother, can you still laugh?"

Facing the puzzlement of several sworn brothers, the black-faced boss pointed to the direction of the fireworks outside the car window and said, "Look, what's that place over there?"

"Stone Ji."

"Wrong, it's Qingxidian."

“…What’s the difference?”

"Fuck, bro, you also have clairvoyance."

"Brother, it's already this late. Can you think of a way out for our brothers?"

"I figured it out."

Ok?
The black-faced boss looked at the gorgeous fireworks in the night sky, squinted his eyes and said, "The man from Qingxidian is back and is re-holding a wedding. These days, the people from Qingxidian are shopping everywhere, and the noise has spread to the county..."

"Li Jiankun?"

"Wow! Him? That's a really rich dad!"

"Ha! I understand what you mean, brother."

The black-faced boss glanced at the others and asked, "Do you want to do it?"

Several people looked at each other.

Yongzi scratched his head and said, "If you want to touch Li Jiankun, the whole Qingxidian will not agree. The old branch secretary of Qingxidian is still his uncle, and we don't have many people now."

"We have guns."

"There are also militiamen in Qingxidian. Although they are not as good as us, they are suppressing us now. We are afraid that if we enter Qingxidian, we will be held back by the unruly people, and then those in camouflage uniforms will rush over. Then we will be helpless."

The black-faced boss nodded and said, "So we have to make a plan. We definitely can't just rush over there without any hesitation."

He paused and said, "In fact, as long as we can get close to Li Jiankun and catch him, other problems will not be a problem. He is not an ordinary person. Even if those camouflage uniforms are from the province, as long as Li Jiankun is in hand, I don't think they will dare to act rashly."

The black-faced boss glanced at them again:

"There are risks for sure, but think about it, are there no risks when we do other things? It's still risk after risk. This time is different. It's a super big fish. If we can squeeze a few drops of oil from it, it will be enough for us brothers to live happily for the rest of our lives. We can just retire and find a place to hide our identities, or just go abroad to be masters, drink foreign wine like water, and fuck foreign girls like dogs!"

"Do you want to do it?" he asked again.

Several others had heavier breathing.

No one is rich without windfall.
