"I also went home at night to hear your uncle say that you are coming today, and asked him what time he would come, and he didn't know if he came by train or bus, and I called the fourth uncle to ask him that he didn't know! These adults don't know what they're doing, and if you don't come again, I'll ask the third child and me to go to the train station to find them." ”

When Li He and Li Chun walked to the uncle's house, the uncle was already asleep, and the one waiting for them at home was the second sister Li Di, and as for the third child, it was Li Hao, the eldest son of the second uncle's family.

Li Di is a 22-year-old girl studying pharmacy at Tiannan College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the provincial capital, and now she has completed her senior year and has a one-year internship. Li Di has a common characteristic of their girls that she is tall, she is not the tallest, but she has also grown to 1.66 meters.

When they met, Li Di was wearing tight jeans and a light blue T-shirt, tied in a ponytail, and carrying a small bag on her shoulder, looking like she was about to go out. When I saw Li He and Li Chun, I was finally relieved. Li Di is not a pretty girl, but she has white skin, good facial features, delicate and clean, and wears a pair of eyes, full of bookish atmosphere.

Li He couldn't remember where the second sister worked after graduating from college in her previous life, she shouldn't have stayed in the provincial capital, the traditional Chinese medicine she studied was actually not so easy to employ, but at that time, the country still allocated college students after graduation, and I didn't know where she was assigned. In fact, Li He didn't have much contact with his second sister in his previous life, but at this time, he could only excuse himself, saying that he couldn't even remember what he did in his previous life, and it was inevitable that he couldn't remember the second sister's later work.

And just when Li He was digging out the memories of his previous life, Li Di had already snorted, hugged Li Chun, and said in surprise: "Chunchun has grown so big! ”

Li Chun giggled, and the second sister and the second sister shouted sweetly. It was too late, Li He and Li Di didn't have more communication, they chatted a few words, Li He asked Li Di to go to his grandparents' house together in two days, Li Di also readily agreed, she told Li He's third uncle's daughter Li Wei is also in Spruce County, living in the second uncle's house, and then make an appointment for everyone to have a big party at the grandparents' house.

Li He was a little confused for a while, as if he couldn't understand how he could jump out of so many brothers and sisters at once. It's really that there was too little contact in his previous life, and when he heard so many names at once, Li He didn't have much of a number at the beginning. Fortunately, it was too late, Li Di took Li Chun to sleep, Li He took a bath, and did not sleep immediately in the room reserved for him, and took a look at these brothers and sisters in the family, and found that their generation was also a huge team.

Specifically, the eldest uncle's family has two children, the eldest brother Li Jun is also the oldest in their generation, has married a family, and runs transportation, and the second sister, Li Di, is in her fourth year of Chinese medicine and is about to intern. The second uncle has two sons, the eldest Li Hao, the third in the family, 21 years old, is currently the best university in the whole family, studying in the second year of Chinese politics and law, and repeated a year before being admitted; the younger one is called Li Mo, who is the same age as Li He, but a few months younger than Li He, and now he is also studying in high school in Faith City, attending Tonggu District Nationalities Middle School, one grade lower than Li He, and usually lives in school, so even in Faith City, Li He rarely sees him. Li He is the fourth in the family. Li Wei, the only daughter of the third uncle's family, is the sixth child, 15 years old, and went to the first high school of faith in September. And Li Chun is ranked in the position of the seventh child, everyone jokingly calls her the "Seven Fairies", the youngest is the daughter of the sister-in-law's family, but strictly speaking, the daughter of the sister-in-law's family is a cousin, and the age gap is also large, and the real ranking is up to Li Chun.

Li He's uncle, second uncle and grandparents are still living in Yunshan County, from Li He's third uncle to his father Li Jie and sister-in-law, they have all come out of Sishan County to take root in Faith City, and to Li He, the country has implemented family planning, so the third uncle's family is only Li Wei, and Li Mo of the second uncle's family belongs to Chaosheng, but at that time, Spruce County was not strictly grasped, and a little later, or in Faith City, there is no possibility of being spared. As for Li Chun, she falls within the scope of the special policy.

After clarifying it, Li He was also taken aback by the family team, but if you think about it carefully, it is not much, the reason is that his father and their generation are not many in the same generation, like Li He's aunt and uncle have ten brothers and sisters, so later Li He often said that if each family of their previous generation has the same population as their family, or even one less, and each family has only 4 to 5 children, China's population base will not be so large. China's population is large, and it is mostly because their parents have made the base larger.

After dangling on the train for too long, Li He was still thinking about the fate of their previous lives after clearing up his brothers and sisters, but thinking about it, he fell asleep unconsciously.

When he woke up the next day, Li He found that it was also a happy thing to have a sister, Li Di, his cousin who had not been with much in his previous life, was not a nerd who could only read, she got up early, cleaned up the house and made breakfast for her father, Li He Li Chun's eldest uncle.

At the same time, breakfast was also made for Li He and Li Chun.

The eldest uncle went out after breakfast, and Li He didn't see him when he woke up. And as soon as he woke up, Li Di was combing Li Chun's hair, and when he saw him, he asked, "I don't know what you want to eat, I cooked porridge and fried an egg for you." ”

"Thank you, sister," anyway, it's just a sister, Li He is not called the second sister, he didn't like to eat porridge, but at this time he said very happily: "I want two eggs." ”

Li Di smiled, helped Li Chun's braids tie up, and said, "Is this called growing up? I didn't say anything I asked you before. ”

Li He Khan was one, and he could only draw circles in his heart and say, that I am not the real me, that I am not the real me.

Li Di said this and went to the kitchen to make breakfast for Li He, Li He followed to the door of the kitchen, there was a faint touch, not thinking about what kind of person he was in his previous life, but asked with great concern: "Sister, where are you going to intern?"

Li Di said a little depressed: "I haven't contacted it yet, the pharmaceutical factory I went to last semester is in a very bad situation now, and I can't pay wages for several months, many workers in the factory have left, and the old factory director is in a hurry and is hospitalized, and I don't know if I can survive it." ”

Li He didn't know what kind of factory Li Di was talking about, but he could feel that Li Di was not very happy, at this time empty comfort was meaningless, he felt that Li Di's major was not bad, but the small county town had a shortage of demand for this kind of professionals, but at this time, the employment of college students was allocated by the state, which was basically the principle of where to go there, if you want to choose yourself, that is, to give up the so-called "iron rice bowl", generally not without a choice can not make such a determination.

Li Chun couldn't answer, and obediently put away the bowl after eating breakfast, Li He thought about it again and again, and said, "Sister, why don't you take the postgraduate entrance examination." You can change your major, you have a foundation in Chinese medicine, and then learn some theories of Western medicine, maybe combining the two will have a good effect. Even if these are still too far away, the chances of staying in the provincial capital after graduate school are much greater. If you stay in the provincial capital, whether it is to apply what you have learned or find another way out, you will have a lot more choices for yourself. ”

To tell the truth, Li He remembers that in the two or three years of 02 and 03, there were undergraduates who stayed in college, and the chances of staying in the provincial capital for master's degree were indeed much greater. Although Li He doesn't think that people must live in a big city, no matter how hard they live, they will never regret it, but if they don't try it when they are young, they will return to the small county town of their hometown, and it will be a lifetime when they go back.

Li Di didn't speak, as if he was thinking about Li He's suggestion. To be honest, this cousin made Li Di a little surprised, among the younger brothers and sisters, Li He was the most introverted, the most gloomy, and actually the most selfish one, every time he came to his grandmother's house in Spruce County, he always stayed at his uncle's house on the first day, but he never asked anything, and everyone didn't like him very much. But this time, Li Di felt that he was different from before, not only took the initiative to ask about his situation, but also put forward very specific suggestions, and most importantly, his way of thinking was very sophisticated and mature, not at all like a sixteen-year-old boy.

Li Di herself didn't think about going to graduate school, and she didn't think about what different opportunities she would have after graduate school, but Li He's words opened a window for her, yes, why do you have to come back and wait for fate? And it's a fate that you can see at a glance? Why didn't she think about other possibilities at all?

Li He said again: "Sister, you want to find out about your senior brothers and sisters, instead of going to a pharmaceutical factory where you can't learn anything and is on the verge of bankruptcy, you might as well go back to school and soak in the library, if you really want to take the graduate school entrance examination, you still have a year to prepare, don't say to yourself that it's impossible." Okay, my classmates and I have an activity, we're going to stay in the forest farm for two days, and when I come back, we'll have a good gathering at grandma's house, and then I'll have a good chat with you. ”

"Okay, see you in two days, stay safe, especially with Pure Inn. Li Di smiled again, but this time the smile was much brighter than just now, and it wasn't that he solved any problems after listening to Li He's words, and he didn't know how the fourth child understood this, but there was also a person who spoke.

When he came out of his uncle's house and walked along the bank of the Spruce River, the fresh air of the early morning made Li He empty his brain, and he didn't think about anything, all he wanted was to enjoy this time that was about to pass.

Spruce County is a traditional agricultural county, no industry is the pain of the development of this small city, but Li He from later generations to know that even if this small city later built some factories and enterprises, but also carried out a large area of development of the county, the effect is not ideal, in addition to the opening of the expressway, the traffic is more convenient, the financial income of this small city is still in the faith city two districts, six counties and one county-level city ranked last, but lost some of its original characteristics, and even because of some improper and excessive development, the natural ecology of the upper reaches of the Spruce River was seriously damaged, Li He remembers that one year a flash flood caused a mudslide, causing a geological disaster。

But even if he knew this, what if he knew this? Rebirth is not omnipotent, Li He knew that not only was he small now, even if he used the advantage of rebirth to live better than in his previous life, but at best it was himself, his family's life would change, and for a county, for hundreds of thousands of people in a county, what a reborn person could do was extremely limited.

If he prevents foreign capital from developing this backward agricultural county, not to mention that the foreign capital will devour him completely, the local people will first regard him as a sinner for the ages. Can he say that life after development will not be better than now? Then he will drown in saliva, you will say that the green mountains and green waters here are beautiful now, but you can't stop more people from wanting to live like people in big cities. Just like he thinks that the costumes of those ethnic minorities in spruce county are very beautiful, but if you let people walk in the city in national costumes all year round, people will not think that you are appreciating beauty, they will think that you are laughing at them. If he says that the songs that the older generation sang are beautiful, then you let the young people sing them? He knows that no matter what kind of reborn person he is, there are things that he can't change at all.
