The flame lit up, igniting the red plum in his mouth. Take a sharp inhale and let the earthy smoke of low-quality tobacco fill the lungs. Bounced off the matchstick that was still burning in his hand, looked at the sunset on the horizon, and Jing Jian, who was squatting on the ground, smiled.

Why did you suddenly go back to 1984? The time when I was most unbearable to look back on? It had been several hours, and I had turned over the three mud houses of my whole family. Now Jing Jian has finally accepted the reality a little, it is indeed real, and he has been reborn. The point is, there is no going back.

The pungent smell of dried chili peppers came from the kitchen. It was his wife Zhao Xia who made dinner. As soon as she returned from her mother's house, she was in a hurry to fiddle with the stove and fulfill her duties as a wife. And Jing Jian, like all the big rural men of this period, had nothing to do. But Jing Jian finally began to think about a very important philosophical question—since he was reborn, what should he do?

Speaking of wealth, he was on the Forbes list in the mainland before he was reborn, and this is not counting his invisible wealth; As for wine, food, luxury cars, mansions, ...... to put it in a cheesy way, a problem that can be solved with money, then it is not a problem.

Is it too tasteless to walk the path of fortune in the previous life? It's not challenging at all. So ...... Jing Jian smiled bitterly and shook his head, let's talk about it!

"Xiao Jian, are you at home?"

Jing Jian looked up and saw that it was Li Xiangdong, the village party secretary, so he stood up and took out the red plum in his pocket and handed it over with a smile.

"Just look at you, I'm going home for dinner. Although his mouth was polite, Li Xiangdong still pulled out a point, "Xiao Jian......" hesitated for a few seconds, Li Xiangdong lowered his voice, "Your father's business, pay attention." Stay in the village! The villagers are easy to talk to. Don't be like your father, who fled, the land he just contracted is gone, and he will have to go back to re-education through labor, so you will be in a panic!"

Jing Jian still smiled brightly: "Don't worry! Thank you, uncle!"

Seeing Li Xiangdong leave, Jing Jian couldn't help but "giggle" out loud, laughing helplessly. He understood that this old branch secretary was a good person, but he was too timid. He came once a day just to see himself at home.

And this is going to talk about Jing Jian's father, Jing Baisheng, the pit son. With the memories of two lives, Jing Jian still ...... his father, and can only say that his feelings are very complicated.

His father, Jing Baisheng, is a regional cadre, he is a complete workaholic, in order to work, he doesn't take care of his family much, and he is also strict with his family, even harsh. With the promotion of his status, he went to the county and the region, but he always left his family in his hometown and rural areas without the slightest specialization.

When he was young, Jing Jian's mother died of illness, leaving only his elderly grandfather and Jing Jian's grandchildren. And when Jing Jian lived in high school, his grandfather also passed away, so Jing Jian learned to live independently very early.

At the age of four, Jing Jian was sent to primary school. Fortunately, in those days, there were not so many rules for reading, some were younger, and some were a few years later, and often students in the same grade could be several years behind. Fortunately, Jing Baisheng still attaches great importance to Jing Jian's education, so he studied step by step until he graduated from high school.

Although he studied early, Jing Jian's grades were not bad. But the college entrance examination in the early 80s was too bloody, and during the exam, Jing Jian happened to have a fever, and his grades were a little turbulent, and he fell off the list. Subsequently, Jing Jian was arranged by Jing Baisheng into the army and became a glorious soldier of the people.

In Jing Jian's memory, he enlisted in the army, which seemed to be the only time his father Jing Baisheng opened the back door. Before joining the army, his marriage to Zhao Xia was the only time he ...... It's a trick for private matters, so let's take it by skill!

Now that he thinks about it calmly, Jing Jian feels funny, how can there be strange things in this chaotic era?

Can you go to elementary school at the age of kindergarten?Zhao Xia is 18, she is 16, and a few tables of wine in the countryside can be considered married?

Of course, there is also a blissful mistake here, because he did not enter the city with Jing Baisheng, Jing Jian's hukou has been left in the countryside, so after the production is contracted to the household, Jing Jian has his own land and homestead. Many years later, although Jing Jian was already one of the few wealthy people, he still kept these self-reserved land and homesteads for him in his hometown in the countryside according to the policy. Although after making a fortune...... Jing Jian never returned to his hometown!

Then, Jing Jian's military career was very smooth. After entering the army, due to his excellent performance. He became a backbone soldier, joined the party, and was promoted to deputy squad leader. And followed the troops to the front line in southern Xinjiang. Jing Jian fought bravely and was awarded a first-class meritorious service on the battlefield. When he was withdrawn to the rear in rotation to rest and recuperate, Jing Jian had already become a key cadre of the army, and he had already begun to review the cultural examination, and he was ready to be sent to the military academy.

It seems that the future is bright, but at this moment, something happened to my hometown!

At that time, Jing Jian was speechless, and his father Jing Baisheng was shocked by the problem of life style, and it was the kind of person who got all the stolen goods. Well, the old widower wants the old tree to sprout, which is understandable. But why don't so many yellow flower girls go looking for a married woman?

The subsequent development of the story made Jing Jian vomit blood. Think about it, that is, the problem of life style, after a few decades, maybe it will still be a romantic affair, but it is actually nothing. It's nothing more than having no future and standing aside. But he never expected that his father Jing Baisheng's reaction was very violent, and when he found that the signs were wrong, he immediately absconded, and his whereabouts have been unknown ever since. At this moment, the contradictions among the people intensified into contradictions between the enemy and ourselves. And a problem of internal punishment has vividly evolved into a problem of arrest.

In fact, speaking of his father, in his heart, Jing Jian was indeed resentful and complaining, but he also had deep admiration. Self-disciplined, power-loving, decisive, excellent opportunist. Sometimes I think about it, I was born at the wrong time!

However, Jing Baisheng's fear of crime and absconding completely destroyed Jing Jian's life. The news reached the troops, and in the sympathy and regret of the chief and his comrades-in-arms, Jing Jian was discharged from the army ahead of schedule. Such a tainted discharge from the army is not a good placement. It seems that only the only destiny is left, to be honest at home, to be a farmer with his face facing the loess and his back to the sky.

And then it did, and it was planted for more than two years. There is a reason why Li Xiangdong, the branch secretary, is staring closely, but more importantly, Jing Jian's fear. At that time, peasants could easily become blind repatriation when they went out without a letter of introduction. If he is sent back to his hometown, it is really possible that Jing Jian, a subject of control, will be directly re-educated through labor.

So it wasn't until Zhao Xia stayed in school after graduation that Jing Jian went to Beijing and started his new life.

The dark years that I can't look back on, there is no hope, no future, sadness and despair. Even now, Jing Jian is still embarrassed.

The cigarette was already burning to his fingers, and Jing Jian took another puff before he reluctantly flicked it. Hongmei is already the best cigarette you can buy in the countryside, but it doesn't enter the mouth of Jing Jian, who is used to smoking good cigarettes.

However, at this time, Jing Jian had a kind of kindness. This is not a cigarette, it is feelings!

So he looked back at his home, a broken earth wall, surrounding the three earthen houses, Jing Jian smiled again!
