Chapter 1: Waking up in a dream

Li Ya, born in a small mountain village in the southwest of Guizhou Province in the 80s, lived a lot of poor lives like rural children of the same age when he was a child, but fortunately there were only two children in the family, his brother and him, which were much better than other children in the same village. Thanks to the better and better national policies, Li Ya also went to university.

Although Li Ya was the first university graduate in the village, what Li Ya learned from more than 20 years of life experience found that it was useless when he entered the society, and he finally found a job and had to learn from scratch.

In the past few years of studying and working in the city, Li Ya can no longer find the joy he once had. There is a good saying: where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Li Ya, a child who grew up in the countryside, is inferior in terms of relationship and means, and he himself does not have the mind to serve the leader, and the employees of the company who are later than him have become his boss. Tired and tired, he unconsciously paid attention to the increasingly popular green food, thinking that after saving enough money, he would go back to contract a farm on the barren slope of the village.

If there is hope, there is motivation, and unconsciously Li Ya's mental outlook and work enthusiasm have been greatly improved, and his salary has also increased.

Unconsciously, everything changed for the better, the elder brother negotiated the contract with the village, Li Ya sent the money, paid the contract, and the farm began to work. At Li Ya's suggestion, Li Ya's brother finally bought the computer he had long coveted but was reluctant to buy, so that Li Ya discussed the farm with his brother every day after work, and the family unanimously decided to wait for the farm to get on the right track after Li Ya resigned and came back to get it together, otherwise it would not be a matter if there was no output just input.

Li Ya has eaten well and slept well recently, and even the cramped rental house has become warmer. However, there were unforeseen circumstances, and on a quiet night, Li Ya left quietly.

That night, an electric car caught fire due to a charging failure, and a large amount of toxic smoke rose down the corridor from the burning of plastic on the body of the car, and two tenants and Li Ya died of inhaling the toxic smoke, and seven were sent to the hospital.

Li Ya woke up and found that his eyelids weighed a thousand pounds, and he couldn't open them, and he felt weak all over his body with dizziness and swelling. However, the people who stayed beside him did not ignore the slight movements of Li Ya's body, and groped up and down for a while, making Li Ya's whole body sore, and an old voice sounded: "I finally got through it, continue to take two pairs of medicines, and get some nutritious ......" Li Ya fell asleep before he finished listening. There was a rush in the room again, and the old voice said: "It's okay, this is just over the sickness, the spirit and body are weak, and it will be much better to wake up." Remember to boil medicine for him, and I went to Erqiu's house to see his baby. A chorus of thanks followed the footsteps, and the room fell silent.

A person named Li Ya appeared in Li Ya's sleep, a person who was born in 60 and is 16 years old this year, an aspiring young man who graduated from high school and went home to earn work in the field since he was a well-behaved child, and his life came to an abrupt end in early February of 76. The attachment to parents and relatives, the love of life and the country, the joy of reading, and the taste of starvation have run through this short life.

Li Ya's body was unconscious, but the memories of two eras were churning in his mind, and he didn't know how long it took to stop, but a place with only lakes and soil appeared for no reason.

When Li Ya woke up, it was already dark. Got up and stared blankly at the figure mending clothes under the oil lamp, this is the mother in Li Ya's memory, a slightly thin body, and an old dress with several patches patched. Everything in the house rushed into his eyes with the faint light of the oil lamp, straight to his mind, and told Li Ya that this was Li Ya's home.

Li Ya finally came back to his senses, abandoned all the incredible and ridiculous thoughts in his mind, and naturally coughed twice: "Mom, I've been asleep for a long time?"

The busy figure under the oil lamp turned around suddenly, his face was full of joy, and his voice was full of endless joy: "You woke up in the third year of junior high school, it's great!" turned around and picked up the warm jar on the brazier at his feet, poured most of the bowl of brown soup and brought it to Li Ya: "Your fourth master said that it would be good to drink two more pairs of medicines, keep it warm, and you can drink it when you wake up." ”

According to Li Ya's memory, the fourth master was the person with the highest medical skills in the neighborhood. Li Ya felt that if it weren't for the fourth master, even if he was reborn and didn't die, he didn't know how many sins he would have to suffer to survive. After taking the medicine bowl handed by my mother, I drank it in one go, and said in my mother's relieved eyes: "Mom, I'll go to the toilet." ”

In this era, flashlights are scarce, and there are no ones in the village, so Li Ya found another kerosene lamp to light it and took it to the toilet. The two freshly caught piglets in the toilet heard someone coming and snorted and made a sound, as if urging someone to feed them.

Li Ya put the lamp on the partition wall of the pig pen and solved the problem neatly. Saying that he grew up in the countryside, he is very familiar with the toilet pigsty together, Li Ya felt that the word thatched house was dirty after reading, so he changed it to a toilet, but now Li Ya feels that the word itself is very appropriate.

Out of the toilet, Li Ya stood on the courtyard dam, looking at the village where it was pitch black, and there was occasionally a human voice and a dog barking, thinking about the village situation in Li Ya's memory, he sighed, the two pigs in the pigsty were still humming, Li Ya felt that even if he was a pig, he should not be a pig at this time. Every day, I rushed out to eat grass, and I rushed back at night to just a handful of grass, and the grain was a precious thing, and people were not enough to eat, and the pigs still wanted to eat it from time to time? Only when the pig skeleton grew up, there was a little bit of grain that was rotten due to harvest or poor preservation to be used for fattening, and then sold to the purchasing station. A pig that has been fed for a year has 1780 catties in the end, which is a rare big fat pig, and there are almost no more than 200 catties.

Li Ya thought about the current situation he was in, touched his stomach, and felt that it was necessary to find a way to fill his stomach for a long time, at least to survive the college entrance examination and go to college. However, I remembered the information I heard in later generations, at that time, college students also did not have enough to eat, and even if they could eat enough, they might not be able to eat well, and those students who could study and send money to their families were also thrifty and saved, which is not easy to play. Think about this era, the material is extremely poor, but people are full of energy, desperately engaged in construction, it is normal to give up a small family for everyone, but people who take care of their own small family are despised.

Thinking about the time when my predecessor was studying, she silently recited a book in her seat, and a girl in the class said to a girl who came to call her from another class: "You go first, I will call you when I come to class." Li Ya suddenly heard "you" and thought who called him, so he answered: "Which one called me?" The classroom was full of laughter, and the girls were so ashamed that they blushed, and it was a joke. Li Ya still thinks it is a local dialect, and I don't know if this Li Ya has encountered this kind of thing. Li Ya finally decided that since he has become this Li Ya, he will be called Li Ya, Li Ya, Li Ya, you, hehe.

Taking a deep breath, he went into the house and persuaded his mother to go to sleep, Li Ya lay on the bed, thinking about how to live a better life, thinking that tomorrow is the second day of the second month of February, and the second dragon of February will raise his head, the climate here is very good, there are many snakes, and it will soon be the time when snakes are infested, you can get some snake meat to eat; Whether it is Li Ya or Li Ya, it is not bad to catch snakes and traps, in this way, the stomach will not be so aggrieved, and Li Ya doesn't want to taste the taste of starvation anymore.

Li Ya found a good idea to fill his stomach, and fell asleep happily, it can be said that it is really difficult to find a person with such a big heart, and when others encounter this kind of thing, they are either afraid and dare not sleep, or they feel that they will be able to show their strengths and become rich and handsome immediately, so excited that they can't sleep. But our Comrade Li Ya agreed with Li Ya's identity, and then just considered the problem of filling his stomach and felt at ease, from this point of view, our Comrade Li Ya has no understanding of the protagonist at all, and he does not have a sensitive brain, such a low-end configuration is destined to he can only watch others stand at the top of the palm.

In his sleep, Li Ya took the fragrant roasted rabbit and ate it, next to the mountain of pheasants and hares. Li's mother got up in the middle of the night to cover her son with a quilt, and listened to her son's chirping voice, and unconsciously smiled all over her face. Li's mother looked at her son, thinking that when her son grew up, it was time to save some money for her son to marry a daughter-in-law.

Early the next morning, Li Ya got up.
