"Cry goodbye hero, Zhang Yunqi go well!"

When the citizens spontaneously mourned the greasy uncle who died bravely for the sake of righteousness, Zhang Yunqi had been a native of Yunxi Village for more than half a month in 1992.

Life has its own misfortunes, Zhang Yunqi's biggest misfortune is to ask for a virtuous wife, gave birth to a pair of well-behaved and sensible children, mixed up for half of his life, making a fortune is far away, but crooked and also out of poverty, hey! Half a month ago, he encountered an accident on the way to pick up his daughter from school, when a runaway Foton M3 hit a little girl crossing the road head-on, he had a hot brain, rushed up and pushed the girl away, and then the big truck ran over his body, and woke up to find that he had returned to 1992.

1992 was a spring tide era, and the tide of reform swept the whole country, but these national events had nothing to do with Zhang Yunqi's fart, what had anything to do with him was the never-ending farm work and the unfillable stomach.

Under the scorching sun, Zhang Yunqi sat on the tobacco ridge and held his breath a little, accustomed to a comfortable middle-aged life, it was difficult for him to adapt to this old era.

"Second brother, I'm done picking pigweed, and I'll pick tobacco leaves for you. At this time, a little girl ran from the ridge with her big feet, this is the fourth child in the family, Zhang Chunlan, who is fifteen years old this year and is in the second year of junior high school.

There are a total of five children in his family, three girls and two belts, a typical superborn guerrilla in the 90s.

At the beginning of this year, my father Zhang Liushun was imprisoned and imprisoned, because he stole the cable of the power station, the eldest of the family was called Zhang Yunfeng, 23 years old this year, because the family was too poor and dragged the family with him, and the mother-in-law had not yet settled, which was a veritable leftover fighter in the 90s when he married early and gave birth early;

As a result, there is not enough labor at home.

Now it is the season of July when the farm is busy, all the autumn fields on his mountain need to hoe the grass, and the two acres of tobacco leaves must be harvested in time, and at the same time, they must also plough the fields and plant seedlings, harvest, weave tobacco, install kang, and bake...... Every process is hard work, there is little labor at home, my mother is gone, the farm work all falls on Zhang Yunqi and his eldest brother, the brothers are so busy that the dark light is blind, often so tired that they can't eat, sleep in the bed at night, and moan in their dreams.

It's even worse today.

The eldest brother entered the town to be busy, and in the sunny weather in August, Zhang Yunqi harvested fresh tobacco leaves in the field under the scorching sun.

Now the eldest sister Zhang Chunlan came over to give him a hand, and the two of them talked and did things at the same time, which was a lot easier.

"By the way, second brother, what are we doing in town?" Chunlan is thin and small, and she can hardly see her head in the adult-tall tobacco leaves, but she is very similar to her mother Liu Yufeng, with a cool and strong personality, and she is numb in her hands and feet.

"Find a tractor, and let's go into the county seat to sell flue-cured tobacco tomorrow. ”

Chunlan harvested tobacco leaves, Zhang Yunqi put the tobacco leaves into a dustpan, and then picked it up on the shelf car with a flat pole, the brothers and sisters got it until the sun set, harvested a shelf of tobacco leaves, Chunlan was tired and panted, but did not complain, this girl still does not understand the hardships of the world, but knows how embarrassing the situation at home is, tobacco is all the economic resources of his family, do not work hard to dig in the field, not to mention studying, eating is a big problem!

There are almost four miles of mountain road from the field to the flue-cured tobacco house, Zhang Yunqi pulls a rope on the wheel, buckles it in the shoulder blade to pull the car, Chunlan pushes it behind, walks through the dusty dirt road, flat road, he generally does not let Chunlan push, a person pulls and walks, once uphill, he uses all his strength to pull the car desperately, try to reduce the burden of Chunlan who pushes the cart behind.

There was a big slope from the flue-cured tobacco field to the entrance of the village, as steep as the Egyptian pyramids, and he had to struggle to pull the cart to drag it, and both hands were about to fall to the ground; Chunlan and he were both sweating profusely, their eyes were glazed, and they were panting like two bellows, especially his shoulder blades, which were strangled by the rope and pierced with heartache. At this time, he couldn't help but see the slender men on the banks of the Yellow River who were crouching on the stone wall path with their hands and feet.

"Second brother, let's rest. ”

After pulling the rack car up the steep slope, Zhang Chunlan took out the kettle and handed it to Zhang Yunqi, and she sat on the ground with her butt collapsed.

Zhang Yunqi glanced at Chunlan who was wearing tattered clothes, her beautiful face was sallow from the sun, her hair was unkempt, and she couldn't find the breath of a young girl.

Maybe it's the fear of poverty, in his previous life, he studied hard, and later studied a secondary school, and then integrated into the big city without looking back, married a wife and had children, and lived a so-so life, he still owed 400,000 mortgages before he was reborn, and he didn't help his brothers and sisters living in the countryside, so Zhang Yunqi always felt that he was quite useless, and he didn't fulfill any family responsibilities. Spending so much money to read so many books, the whole TM is blind.

I can't live so vaguely in this life, I have to find a way to earn money, change the conditions of my family, and let my sister study hard, instead of digging in the fields with a high temperature of 378 degrees in such a flowering season!

The brother and sister rested for about ten minutes, and then continued to pull the car, into the village, the dirt road was much smoother, when the sky was completely dark, finally pulled the fresh tobacco leaves to the front of the flue-cured tobacco room, Zhang Yunqi pulled a wooden bench and began to weave cigarettes, fresh tobacco leaves need to be braided with hanging rods before baking. This is delicate work, he has not touched it for more than 20 years, hand raw.

Chunlan went home to serve the livestock, wash the dishes and wash the clothes, and after doing this, she had to cook and send it to the flue-cured tobacco house, and then the brother and sister squatted in this dark wilderness, and ate their dinner by the light of the fire on the earthen stove of the flue-cured tobacco house. Dinner is usually sweet potato, bibimbap and jar chili.

In this world, how many people can think of the kind of hard life that ordinary people live in such places? Even in 92 years, the families who can eat fish and meat every once in a while are no longer a minority. Of course, Zhang Yunqi has no complaints. This is an era of great momentum, as long as the heart is energetic, even if it is purely digging on the land, you can live a good life! What's more, no matter how we say it, we are also a human being, is it possible that we are afraid that we will not be able to get ahead?

Today, Chunlan came later than usual, she came with a vegetable basket at eight o'clock, Zhang Yunqi had been busy all day, and he was already hungry with his chest against his back, and he said to his sister: "Why did you come so late today?"

Chunlan said: "That's no way, in addition to feeding you, I also have to feed the pigs." ”

"In your eyes, I'm a pig on the same level?"

"Don't insult the pigs, the pigs are better than you!"

Chunlan smiled and put the vegetable basket on the stone slab, opened the lid, Zhang Yunqi smelled a strong fragrance, and he couldn't help but ask his sister, "What do you cook?"

Chunlan said: "I cut a pound of fat meat from the Liang swineherd, and also bought a hoop of alkaline noodles, and tonight we will eat potato stew and noodles." ”

This food is seriously exceeded, and the current economic situation of the old Zhang family is completely unequal, Zhang Yunqi said strangely: "Where did you get the money?"

"The five and a half dollars I earned picking up garbage when I was in school ......"

"Why break the bank?"

"You forgot, it's your birthday!"

Zhang Yunqi looked up at his sister violently, speechless for a long time.

Since he was reborn and returned to the present, endless work has become the main theme of his life, his brain is particularly chaotic, thinking about getting rich, thinking about how to improve his life, thinking about the road to take in the future, thinking about it, but he didn't expect that today is his sixteenth birthday, maybe he didn't realize what the big deal is about having a birthday, the children of poor families can't pay attention to it, what he didn't expect and moved is that his sister still remembers.

"Second brother, let's eat noodles, it's all mushy later. ”

Chunlan put a big bowl of potato stew and fat on the stove, and brought him a bowl of clear soup alkaline water, which was counted as longevity noodles to eat on his birthday, but Zhang Yunqi's throat was blocked for a while, and he silently looked at Chunlan and her shabby clothes, under the light of the fire of the earthen stove, the hands of the double-ended noodles were covered with calluses, and the hand bones were black and thick, and some places were filled with thick and black scabs.

For a while, Zhang Yunqi's eyes were very sore.

He said to his sister, "Don't spend your money indiscriminately, buy paper and pens yourself." I believe brother, it won't be long before our family will have a better life!"
