Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 23
Facing the sharp wind of early winter, we headed all the way back to Shitouji.

Li Jiankun and Wang Shanhe divided the book into half, and then went back to their respective homes to find their respective mothers.

The two guys made a cruel agreement:
Every week, you have to finish at least two of the books in your hands. Whoever can't finish them will jump into the sea!
It's not that far away. It only takes an hour to reach the nearest seaside by bicycle.

When Xiao Wang came home and saw his mother Li Lan, his first words were: "Mom, look where you can find one and buy me a swimming ring."

He can't hold back Jiankun.

There is no time, and materials must be exchanged for review every week. Can he say that he can't finish it?
If you really say that, can Jiankun come and exchange books?

The reality is that after studying for a few days in school, he didn't even finish the periodic table of elements. At this rate... Xiao Wang expressed despair.

The sea has probably stopped jumping.

Most likely I will have to dance several times, so let’s save it for the last one.

On the other side, after returning home, Li Jiankun rushed into the room and used a wooden root to push the door shut to prevent gods and ghosts from disturbing him.

Outside the door, the lazy man was disappointed.

I wonder what this kid is up to?

Aren't you going back to school to review for the sprint? Why are you going back again?

"I said Jiankun, have you recognized the reality and given up? Oh, that's right. If you eat as much food as you want from a big bowl, our old Li family won't be able to survive that Wenquxing, blah blah blah..."

"Li Guifei, go to sleep!"

"Hey you brat, how dare you shout my name! Come out! Come out!"

The lazy man rolled up his sleeves and raised his feet.

No matter what you say today, you have to treat him once. He has become more and more lawless recently and is about to kick the door down.

"Squeak!"

The door opened.

Guifei Lazy Man suddenly felt a shadow covering him and shuddered.

"Well, I'm tired, go to bed."
-
night.

In the dim cabin, the candlelight flickered, and even though the wooden window lattice was covered with three layers of newspapers, it still couldn't stop the cold air from coming in.

It's really cold today.

No wonder I keep mentioning global warming in the future. I always feel that in the same month, the average temperature this year is five to six degrees lower than it would be 40 years ago.

There are absolutely no heaters, and the brigade doesn’t even have electricity.

Every house lights kerosene lamps, and being able to light candles is already a luxury. As long as there is a flashlight at home, haha!That's amazing. The level has been greatly improved instantly. When you go out, you will find people with household appliances.

Even a hot-tempered handsome guy like Li Jiankun couldn't stand it anymore.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, wrapped in a quilt, candles were melted on the bedside rails with wax.

Holding a book in one hand, biting a Yongsheng fountain pen in his mouth, the other hand ruffled his bird's nest-like hair.

Needless to say, he hadn't washed his hair for at least 10 days.

I don’t even have enough sleep, so I don’t have time to care about this.

Suddenly I felt itchy on the back of my hand. I scratched it a few times at will. The more I scratched, the more itchy it became. I lowered my head and looked dumbfounded for a long time.

I have frostbite.

I live by the sea!

Really... forget it, don't worry, I don't know if it has something to do with the weakened immunity. I've been feeling a little weak recently. I just need to get through this period and I'll be fine.

There will be no regrets in this life.

what is success
That is to live life on your own terms.

Rush!
When the cockcrow sounded outside the window, the small wooden door creaked slightly and was pushed open.

Hu Yuying walked in quietly.

Seeing her son lying on the bed, half of his body outside the quilt, still muttering in his sleep, and vaguely hearing something about "nephew Zhengxian", Mrs. Yuying didn't understand, but her eyes turned red.

My son knows very well that he has never liked reading since he was a child. When have you ever seen him take it so seriously?
If you fail the exam, your child will probably be stimulated to do good or bad.

How to do it!

Mrs. Yuying was worried, but she had no choice. After sighing, she quickly covered her son with the quilt and extinguished the candle on the bedside that was almost burning to the wood.

'God bless my son to go to high school, and he will do whatever he wants in this life! '

early morning.

There was almost no sound in the house, and Mrs. Yuying was cooking quietly.

Even the lively and active Li Yunmeng, under the stern warning from his sister, just showed his teeth and claws and jumped up and down without making a sound.It's like performing a mime.

The mother and daughter finished breakfast quietly and prepared to go to work and school. Li Yunmeng, who had sharp ears, heard something.

He looked at his mother and sister and said, "My second brother is awake."

"Bullshit."

Li Yunshang stepped on the threshold and waved, telling her to stop talking and leave quickly.

Li Yunmeng was unhappy and dared to doubt this king's clairvoyance.

When the two of them weren't paying attention, Chi Liu rushed to the wooden door and came to Ji Tieshan.

"Dangdang!"

"You damn girl!"

Hu Yuying was furious and ran over to pick her up and throw her out the door to clean her up, but suddenly she was stunned.

In the room, her son was sitting at her desk on her broken dressing table, writing and drawing with the hand holding a pen.

Such a big movement did not disturb him.

When did it start?
How many hours have you slept?

Madam Yuying's eyes turned red again, and she called her son's name with a choked sob. She called her son's name several times before she turned her head.

"Hey, you haven't left yet... Mom, what's wrong with you? Why do you seem to be crying?"

"No, there's sand in my eyes. Kun'er, why don't you get some sleep?"

Li Jiankun waved his hand, "I'm in good spirits. The day's plan starts in the morning."

Li Yunshang held back tears and said softly: "Then you should eat your food first."

"Okay, let's put it there first, it'll be ready soon."

In such a period of time, she watched her brother lose weight, and his long face turned into an oval face.

She thought that she would go to town today to cut some meat and feed it to her brother.

She did have money, her mother gave her five yuan, the only trouble was where to get meat tickets...

Liu Ximao said he could get it, but he didn't know whether he was bragging or not.

No matter, go and ask first!
-
September 11, overcast.

It was rare that Li Jiankun didn't stay up late last night. By daylight, he had already washed himself and dressed neatly.

The strong aroma of eggs came from the kitchen.

The nutritious breakfast carefully prepared by my mother was brought out at the right time.

Melt a spoonful of lard in a hot iron pot, scoop out a bowl of water, boil it, break in two eggs, and add a tablespoon of brown sugar before serving.

This is called sugar water and eggs.

The best supplements in rural areas can usually only be taken by women in confinement for a few meals.

If the little monkey wakes up, it will eat half a meter of food.

At this time, how can rural children have any snacks to eat?
If you really need some sugar at home, twist it and eat it dry, it will be the delicacy of Sai Shenxian.

This little bit of brown sugar was hard to come by.

Mrs. Yuying specially went to the next door brigade and found a family who grew sugar cane in their private land.

Our ancestors made a living by pressing sugar, and we don’t want to forget our roots.

Otherwise, who would be willing to grow sugar cane on their own land?
The supply and marketing cooperative only sells white sugar, so there is no supplement.

"Come on, Kun'er, eat quickly. You won't feel cold after eating. Go over and take the exam."

"Eh."

Li Jiankun held the pottery embryo bowl and started to slurp. It was so satisfying. He hadn't tasted this taste in many years.

Mrs. Yuying stood beside her, caressing her son's head, and said, "Kun'er, there are some things. Let's just do our best. Don't think too much."

Mom... you!

Suddenly it doesn't smell good.

It's no fun to talk nonsense, just wait and see!
"Whoosh!"

After taking the last bite, he put the bowl down.

This guy is so brave and high-spirited that he can kill the commune directly.
