001 1998
In addition to the constant nightmares in the dead of night, Li Yang actually had some joy in his heart.
After all, rebirth is not a welfare package that Meituan has every day.
Although I don't know why I exist as a soul somehow returns to my 1998 self from 20 years later.
But...... Eighteen years old... It's a haunting age!
……
As the old saying goes, after autumn, a person dies of heat.
Although it has just begun autumn,
August is still the hottest time of the year.
The steaming waves on the ground rushed up from his trousers, and even his vision was a little distorted.
Raising his hand to wipe a handful of sweat on his forehead, Li Yang looked around, and couldn't tell what it was like.
Liping Township in 98 years is definitely not a good place, and the east and west streets are full of small traders who make money.
There are really no more decent stores.
"Little uncle, I want to eat popsicles......"
The little Lori in her arms licked her lips that were a little dry, and on her pink and jade face, a pair of big watery eyes stared at Li Yang flickering, and then looked at the freezer outside the small shop on the side.
The fleshy little hand wiped the sweat on Li Yang's face, and saw that Li Yang frowned, as if he realized that his request was a bit excessive, and immediately shook his head again, and his voice was a little glutinous.
"Little uncle, I don't want it. ”
Little Lori is the eldest brother Li Ping's daughter Qingqing, who just turned 5 years old at the beginning of the year.
Li Yang was also on a whim, so he took his little niece to the countryside to relax under the big sun.
The eldest brother Li Ping is only 7 years older than him, but he got married relatively early, and what makes Li Yang difficult to let go of is that his niece Qingqing in the previous life followed her mother after the eldest brother Li Ping divorced his sister-in-law.
In this life, because of his own foresight, he asked Qingqing for his life, although the price was a bit heavy.
In addition to the eldest brother's clean house, Lao Li's family also compensated an additional 10,000 yuan, almost emptied the entire family, not to mention, and borrowed some from relatives and friends.
But no matter what, people are going to come back.
It's just that the current situation of the old Li family is really a little sad.
His son Li Xiangqian is an honest carpenter, except for one-handed carpentry work, he is a farmer.
The eldest brother Li Ping fought with others in the county, and others beat and crippled people, and he was pushed out and sentenced to 4 years, and his sister-in-law divorced him in a fit of anger.
The old lady Liu Jinlan is even more temperless, and she was tossed by the eldest brother's affairs, and she completely lost her backbone.
He just graduated from high school and didn't get into college, so it's still a question of what he can do to make a living now, but it's impossible for him to get up early and work as a vegetable seller like he did in his previous life, and then slowly accumulate his family foundation and start a family.
Li Ping didn't doubt that life denied the past, although he later had a successful career, but he really didn't want to do this experience again.
In his previous life, whenever he recalled this experience, Li Yang could drain several bottles of beer in one go.
To say that it sounds good is to be heroic in life, and to say that it is not good to say that it is to regret not being at the beginning.
It's just that life has to go on.
Li Yang can only take one step at a time now, he is a reborn person anyway, and a living person can't be suffocated to death by urine.
What's more, now Qingqing has not been taken away by his sister-in-law like in his previous life, even if it is not for himself, for the sake of his little niece, he can't sit still.
Putting his little niece on the ground, Li Yang tightened his belt, and when he was eighteen years old, it was a little unnatural to lose his beer belly.
This time I came to the township, saying that it was to relax, but in fact, to put it bluntly, I still want to see if there is any way to make money to support my family, after all, it is not a way to always lie at home.
The eighteen-year-old young man really wants to let go of his belly and even eat a mountain, and with the little family background of the old Li family, sooner or later he will have to drink the northwest wind.
Li Yang is definitely not this kind of person.
"Qingqing wants to eat popsicles, then the little uncle will buy them for you. ”
Li Yang waved his hand, estimating that he was stung by the eyes of Qingqing, a little Lori, how could a big man not even be able to afford a popsicle.
There are no gold and silver mountains, and there are still five yuan in my pocket.
An old popsicle for two cents, an ice cream for five cents, and the price of 98 years, that's really nothing to say.
The uncle and nephew ate a popsicle and an ice cream with a smile, and the weather was so cold that they even walked with the wind.
Walk along the street shop to the entrance of the vegetable market.
In 98, the entrance of the vegetable market in Liping Township was far less than the newly built vegetable market behind, and there was a chaotic situation in the eyes, and there were not many people who bought vegetables at noon.
There are still a few pieces of pork on the butcher's table in the butcher's shop, and the stall owner occasionally waves the pufftail fan in his hand to drive away the green flies waiting for the opportunity.
In this era, in the countryside of the underdeveloped areas of the central provinces, it is considered a good life to be able to eat pork twice in three days, where can you take care of what grade is not graded.
Li Yang has nothing to be greedy for, after the highs and lows of life, a fan of pork is really not attractive, but the little Lori in his arms can't wait to get into the pork.
With five yuan in his pocket, he bought an ice cream and a popsicle, and the rest of the money could cut two catties of pork, Li Yang was not ambiguous, and asked the stall owner to cut a piece of pork and carry it in his hand, and the uncle and nephew went back.
When passing by the oil mill, someone stopped Li Yang, and turned his head to see that it was Xu Chao, a classmate from high school.
Xu Chao is not tall, dark-skinned, runs an oil mill at home, eats shoulder-width and fat, and his bare arms are shiny, and he is a little chubby.
"It's really you, last time I heard that person say that you were going to Shenzhen, I thought you were gone. ”
Don't look at Xu Chao's fleshy appearance, the college entrance examination is much stronger than Li Yang, he finally took the junior college exam, and his family is not bad for money, regardless of whether he wants to study in college or not.
The two were familiar with each other, Li Yang naturally didn't say anything polite to him, put his niece Qingqing down, and entered the oil mill, where the fragrance of rapeseed oil was wafting all over the house.
"No, go back and find something to do at home. ”
Li Yang doesn't talk much, and he looks thick, but he is much more stable than Xu Chao.
The words in his mouth are actually somewhat insincere, these years, there is no skill, and he went to Shenzhen to be an apprentice with someone.
Either working as a tailor or entering an electronics factory, it is definitely not a profitable job.
"Say you're fat and gasping, is this your sister?" Turning his head and glancing at Xiao Lori, Xu Chao didn't know that there was a small one in Li Yang's family.
"No, my brother's child. ”
"Oh!"
Speaking of Li Ping, Xu Chao also knew that as soon as he heard that it was Li Ping's child, he immediately extinguished the topic and did not continue, after all, squatting in a prison cell is not a good thing.
"I'm going to go to the county with Pengzi and them in two days, do you have time to come along?"
Pengzi is also Li Yang's classmate, and he has a good time at school, but the three of them are not good students, so they naturally can't get into college.
It's just that at this time, Li Yang's mind is no longer on playing.
Shook his head.
"Let's go back, I won't be free for the past two days. ”
Pursed his lips, which were not thick.
Seeing someone coming out of the back room, Li Yang hurriedly called Uncle Sheng and chatted a few more words.
On the side, Xu Chao also felt that Li Yang seemed to be a little different, but he couldn't tell where it had changed, in short, he felt that he suddenly looked a little like an adult.
After sitting in the oil mill for a while, Qingqing yawned a few times, the villain estimated that he was tired, and Li Yang didn't stay long, so he made an appointment with Xu Chao and walked back with his niece.
It's not far to walk back from the township, more than ten minutes away.
When I got home, I was just in time for lunch.
Seeing Li Yang come back with a bunch of pork, Liu Jinlan didn't speak, but when she turned around and carried the meat into the stove, Li Yang still heard her sigh.
I can't say what it's like in my heart, but it's terrible.
Lunch.
Li Yang didn't go out either, he was stunned for an afternoon with his arms in his hands, and he thought a lot of things in his head.
98 is a good time, but it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.
In the past 20 years of reform and opening up, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is gold everywhere, but Archimedes still needs a fulcrum to pry the earth, and it is really not easy to improve his life with his bare pole.
When it's almost nightfall.
Had dinner.
Liu Jinlan and Li Xiangyang didn't know what they were arguing about in the house, Li Yang was in a mess when he heard it, so he simply went out and walked around and came back.
Seeing Li Xiangyang smoking at the door with a fan, the wrinkles on his forehead were obviously a lot more.
Sitting down next to him, Li Yang pondered for a while before speaking.
"Dad, I'm going to go to the county to have a look. ”
"What are you going to do in the county? I have already told your uncle that his Lamei will go home at the end of the month, and when the time comes, I will take you to Shenzhen to learn a craft in a tailor factory. ”
Entering the tailor's ......
Frowning, Li Yang just wanted to refute, but glanced at the deep wrinkles on Li Xiangyang's forehead, and swallowed the words that came to his mouth.
In fact, Li Yang almost didn't have to think about it to know the next scene.
Because worse is yet to come.
According to his seniority, he does want to call Uncle Bolt, but in terms of human feelings, Li Yang really doesn't want to open this mouth.
Li Xuan's eldest daughter, Lamei, is several years older than Li Yang, and Li Ping is a generation, and has become a family, and the couple work as tailors in Shenzhen.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the two families are close, but it has definitely not reached the point of twisting a rope.
Originally, he did tell Li Xuan, but the bad part is here, according to the memory of the previous life, if I remember correctly, after Li Lamei returned to her parents' house, she went back to Shenzhen directly before staying for two days, and she didn't even say hello, let alone take Li Yang with her.
To put it bluntly, I just want to get rid of my burden, for fear of bringing Li Yang's burden.
Li Yang can't say whether he hates or not, but Li Lamei's approach does make it difficult for people to overcome the hurdle in their hearts.
Anyway, in the last life, if you push it back for another ten years, the two families have not had much contact.
It's just this kind of unpredictable prophet's words, how can Li Yang talk to him Lao Tzu.
As soon as he twisted his head, he got up from the bench.
"Dad, I'll take a shower first. ”
