The Red Era: Starting from Being an Educated Youth in the Countryside

Chapter 1 Reborn

In 1975, the heat was unbearable.

In the dull and narrow room, Chen Huaiyang lay on the bed, his fists clenched tightly, and fine beads of sweat covered his face.

He murmured, "I won't come."

The moment he woke up in fright, he was sweating all over and his eyes were filled with fear. He looked around the shabby and dull room in front of him with confusion in his eyes.

He raised his hands and took a look. The wrinkles on his hands were no longer severe, and the cracked hands instead showed the strength and power of a young man.

Could it be that he was reborn?
Back to the moment when we were about to go to the countryside?
No need to go through that miserable life again?
After graduation, they were unable to find jobs, so they had to go to the countryside to participate in reconstruction. Naturally, the twin brother and sister could not avoid it and became part of the group.

In order to avoid going to the countryside in his previous life, Chen Huaiyang went to the Liu family and even arranged a job for his sister.

Being young and ignorant, they thought that good luck had come and the whole family was overjoyed. However, they had no idea that they had fallen into a deep pit that was being plotted against.

Liu Xiaoqing was ignorant and deceived into having her body, but the person who deceived her disappeared. In order to cover up her shame, she chose him as a scapegoat to hide the fact of her pre-marital uncleanness.

A son-in-law who lives with his wife's family has a low status to begin with.

I found out everything after the wedding banquet. It would have been one thing to have been such a humiliating thing to have come to my house, but I also felt extremely aggrieved because my wife had someone else in her heart.

When he was clamoring for a divorce, Liu's father threatened him that if he dared to make the news known to everyone, not only would his sister's job be ruined, but they would also have to go to the countryside to start a new life.

Looking at the girl's smiling face, Chen Huaiyang compromised.

But this compromise led to a journey into the abyss of nightmare.

As soon as the man who deceived Liu Xiaoqing came back, the two of them became inseparable. Liu's father could not bear his daughter's pleading and agreed to divorce.

Chen Huaiyang became a complete fool.

As a result, the two elders could not hold their heads up and became the subject of ridicule.

For a man, this is the most cowardly thing that can happen: his wife has someone else in her heart, and she is clinging to him and making it difficult for him to separate.

Now, with the chance to start over, he must turn things around and never step into the abyss again.

I struggled to get up and walked out of the room, seeing Chen's father and mother sitting in the kitchen with a look of relaxation on their faces, completely unaware of what was going on.

We were planning to prepare lunch and talk about marriage.

Chen Huaiyang appeared at the kitchen door, looked at the two elders, and said in a firm tone, "Mom, I won't come over."

That one sentence sounded like thunder and exploded instantly.

The two elders looked at each other, looking at him in bewilderment, with deep doubt in their eyes, "Third brother, you have to think it over carefully. You have never suffered, how are you going to live in the countryside?"

"This matter is almost settled, why do you regret it at the last minute?"

"Daqing is a pretty girl. It's because the Liu family has no sons that they chose you after several rounds of selection. If you can marry into a family like this, we shouldn't be picky."

"Father Liu also promised to find a job for your little sister. This is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone. No matter where you live, you are still our son."

"Besides, the Liu family has connections in the grain station. If we go back on our word at the last minute, we might offend people."

"Although we are a dual-income family, it is still difficult to arrange jobs for the two of you. How could I bear to let the son I raised be someone else's son? I am afraid that you will suffer."

Chen Huaiyang then realized that the difficult decision in his parents' minds was just a compromise they had to make after weighing the pros and cons. Looking at them, he said firmly, "Mom, don't persuade me. I've decided. I'll find a way to find my little sister a job."

"No need to entertain anyone, just wait for them to come and I'll take care of them." He didn't even want to feed them all the delicious fish and meat, even to the dogs.

Although the two elders were puzzled and could not guess why he wanted to go back on his word, after all, his wishes were more important.

As they were talking, there was a knock on the door. The two elders of the Liu family came with their daughter and chatted with them smilingly. When they learned that Chen Huaiyang had changed his mind, their faces instantly turned cold.

Father Liu had a stern face like a man-eating tiger, silently putting pressure on people, "Think carefully, my family's Menlin is worthy of your Chen Huaiyang, that's too high for him, don't be ungrateful."

"You all know how difficult it is to arrange a workstation. With your family's ability, isn't it wishful thinking for you to become a regular employee?"

"I'm giving you a chance. Don't be ungrateful. If you weren't strong and sturdy, I wouldn't have picked you."

Such impolite words don't give me any face at all.

Liu Daqing was watching the show from the side, not worried at all. Chen Huaiyang looked rough and strong like a bear. She liked gentle and elegant men.

If we can’t reach an agreement, we can find someone else.

Anyway, it’s up to her to decide what kind of man she wants to choose.

"Dad, let's not force him. Even if he doesn't want to, there are many people who are willing to do so. Why should we bother trying to please someone who doesn't like us?"

During this period, the least disadvantaged were men who had just graduated. If they couldn't find a job, they had to go to the countryside, and many of them were willing to do so.

After hearing this, Chen Huaiyang's face darkened. This family had really ugly faces. As soon as he showed his displeasure, their true nature was exposed.

Liu's father is a man with a strong desire for control, and Liu Daqing likes to act like a demon. He lost his virginity before getting married, and he is picky. Whoever wants to be spoiled can be spoiled. He won't keep up with it.

"Thank you for your kindness. Your family is too high for me to marry. Although your family is not well-off, I am still a man of integrity. There is no reason for me to take advantage of loopholes to evade my responsibilities."

"We are three-good youths. Since the country needs us, we should contribute our own strength."

"It doesn't matter whether I am a formal worker or not. It's good to respond to the country's call. Going to the countryside to do construction and contributing my own strength can be considered making a difference."

"Since you are busy, I won't waste your time."

Chen Huaiyang's refusal was very clear and his slogans were shouted loudly. Liu's father was furious, but he couldn't refute it, otherwise it would be seen that he had his own ideas and complaints about the country's policies.

He looked extremely angry but had no one to vent his anger. He felt very aggrieved and left angrily.

Liu's mother was also cursing, her voice was very unpleasant, and every word she said was about how people should be down-to-earth and not be ungrateful, which attracted the attention of the neighbors.

Liu Daqing looked indifferent, just like choosing a product, if he couldn't find the right one, he would just change it.

After people left, the air felt fresher.

Being in the same room, we all felt suffocated and panicked.

Chen Huaiyang felt extremely relieved. After he vented his anger, the feeling of being suffocated disappeared. Now that he had a chance to be reborn, he would no longer let others control him.

Mr. Liu is an extremely selfish and narrow-minded person. He is so disrespectful and refuses the other party in person. The other party will definitely not let him go easily.

It was obvious to trip him up.
