Chapter 2 Back to the 90s

Isn't this the newly built house of my own house in '91? At present, the walls of these red bricks have not been plastered with white melamine, and they still exude a unique smell of red bricks that have just come out of the brick kiln, and they are all so primitive.

"Big baby, why are you standing there alone, why don't you go back to sleep?" Suddenly, a familiar voice rang in my ears! Li Ruoyu was shocked! Isn't that the voice of a mother? And it was the kind voice of her middle age.

When I turned my head, I saw a peasant woman who looked like she was in her fifties walking out of the bedroom next to the hall, rubbing her eyes and whispering.

At first glance, seeing his mother standing in front of him in a dignified manner, Li Ruoyu was also dumbfounded! Do you think you're dreaming? Mother is not dead! He quickly pinched his thigh hard! But I couldn't help but let out a "hiss", it hurt! This is definitely not a dream, this qiē is all real! But why does the Qiē in front of me seem to have returned to more than 20 years ago? Li Ruoyu was puzzled! Could it be that he was born again?

Li Ruoyu usually reads some online novels to pass the time, he is no stranger to rebirth, there is such a situation in many online novels, but Li Ruoyu, as a senior engineer engaged in technical work, never believed that this kind of thing would happen in reality, after all, they are all online novels, and they are just stories made up by those online novel writers! I didn't expect it to happen to me now, could it be that my filial piety touched the heavens, so that I could go back to more than 20 years ago and give myself a chance to start over? If this is the case, then I must no longer be like in my previous life, just burying my head in my own work and not taking care of my family. Especially my parents, in order to have a good future, how much effort and sweat they have paid, and how much hard work they have put in, and they have saved up every cent of their meager income for their own schooling, but they have not been able to repay them well! Thinking of this, Li Ruoyu's eyes moistened again!

"Big baby, what are you doing, what are you crying!" A concerned voice sounded in his ears, Li Ruoyu came back to his senses, but saw his mother, who was already gray, walking up to him with a concerned face, looking at himself carefully.

Li Ruoyu looked at it again, her mother was only in her early forties, and she already looked like a person in her fifties, even older than those sixty-year-old people in the city, not to mention that the wrinkles on her forehead were already very deep, and her figure also looked a little rickety. When she was young, she was 1.68 meters tall, and now she is less than 1.6 meters by sight, and she can't straighten her waist under the pressure of the heavy work in the countryside, especially a pair of hands that have been full of vicissitudes, due to working in the field all the year round, and rheumatism, she can't straighten up, she can only bend all the time, and even her fists are not tight, and the joints of each finger are very thick and completely deformed. is such a pair of hands, holding up his college dream, Li Ruoyu only felt extremely sad, as if something was stuck in his throat, he wanted to say something, but he couldn't make a sound, he just opened his mouth, and he didn't even hear what he said.

Li Ruoyu's mother said worriedly: "Big baby, are you uncomfortable?" Did you sit on the train for too long and get bored? ”

Li Ruoyu only then came up with a memory from his mind, as if he had just returned to his hometown from Huhai City for the Spring Festival, which was also the first time he went home for the Spring Festival after work, and the time was February 18, 1991, which happened to be the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month! What's going on? Before he was reborn, it was also the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, but it was more than twenty years later. This rebirth is also too coincidental, even the days are the same.

I remember myself at that time, I was full of spirit, and after returning home, I almost became the focus of Li Jiawan's attention. Also, Li Ruoyu is not only the only college student in Lijiawan, but also the highest-paid person in Lijiawan. At the end of the year, Li Ruoyu's monthly income was more than 2,000 yuan, and before the Spring Festival, the unit also issued a big red envelope, with 5,000 yuan! This is something Li Ruoyu never dreamed of. Many of the people of Lijiawan also go to the coast to work, but compared with Li Ruoyu, their income is too far behind, although they go out to work and the wages are higher than those working in state-owned enterprises in the mainland, but compared with Li Ruoyu, there is a world of difference.

Therefore, Li Jiawan has already spread the word, and it is said that Li Baosheng and Huang Shuying have a good son! This has just graduated, and the income is frighteningly high, just the money sent back every month is worth a year's income of others, and they all persuade Li Baosheng and Huang Shuying not to plant that tired and meager income package production area, just enjoy the blessings at home!

However, Li Baosheng and Huang Shuying are both honest farmers, where can they lose their own bag of origin and sit at home? Although his son's income is very high now, he will marry a daughter-in-law in the future and have a baby, I heard that buying a house in Huhai City is less than 100,000 yuan, even with his son's current income level, if he wants to buy a house, how many years of money he has to save is enough! The two old men also knew that it would be impossible for their son to marry a daughter-in-law in this hometown in the future, and his job was in Huhai, so he had to marry a daughter-in-law there, and it was best to find a Huhai person, which would also help him in his work. The vision of the two old daughters-in-law has also become higher, and I don't know how many people have refused to come to the door to say goodbye.

The two old men saved the money sent back by Li Ruoyu for him, they didn't spend a penny, they still have to farm the land, of course, now Li Ruoyu has a high income and is no longer like when he went to college, plus the body of the two old people is really not good, and their bodies have been dragged down by years of hard work, so those jobs such as moving bricks and ashes have not been done, but a few acres of production land have not been lost. How can the farmer be willing to lose the land, they can regard the land as their lifeblood, as the foundation of the farmer's survival, even if they have more money, they will not lose their land. This is the true character of the industrious and simple Chinese peasant!

Li Ruoyu cleared his throat, and then a hoarse voice came out of his throat: "Mom, don't worry about me, I'm fine!" You better go back and rest, it's cold now, don't catch a cold! ”

Huang Shuying's face sank, and she said loudly: "Still say it's okay?" Your voice is hoarse, don't you catch a cold, right? Come, let me touch and see, do you have a fever? ”

After speaking, Huang Shuying stretched out her calloused right hand and gently placed it on Li Ruoyu's forehead, feeling with the care of a mother whether there was anything wrong with her son's body temperature.

When Li Ruoyu saw this scene, he felt his mother's calloused hand on his forehead, and his heart was sad again, and he couldn't help but think of his mother's hand described in that famous song:

A rival that cannot be modified

Bring out the warmth always in the back

Always wordy, always pay attention

I don't know how to cherish and feel too guilty

Intoxicated by the scales, she does not appreciate

Mother's love never gave way

Determination to rush to the heart and struggle

Kindness can be repaid in the end

The spring breeze and rain warm my heart

A lifetime of favoring and giving without words

What a warm gaze you have

Teach me to be resolute and look ahead

Told me that I should not give up when I fell

I can't explain how I can repay my kindness

The magnanimity of love is infinite

Please allow me to say that I really love you

I still remember a warm pair

Always take care of me and keep it the same

The ideal has finally arrived today

Share the brilliance and hope to do it

This song "I Really Love You" expresses the unrequited and wordless love of mothers all over the world for their children! Li Ruoyu once remembered that these hands pulled up himself who fell to the ground countless times, sent himself who was sick with a cold to the village clinic in the middle of the night countless times, washed his clothes countless times, put warm eggs on his bedside in the early morning countless times, and trembled countless times when he was in school and stuffed a large stack of five and ten yuan of tuition and living expenses into his hands, and the same money was dug out of the ground countless times by these hands!

Thinking of this, Li Ruoyu finally couldn't help it, tears flowed down his eyes, and he cried bitterly: "Mom! ......" choked up and couldn't speak anymore!

Hearing Li Ruoyu's cry, his father Li Baosheng also came out of the bedroom, and said dimly sleepy: "Big baby, what are you doing, crying in the middle of the night, and I'm not afraid that people will hear the joke!" ”

Li Baosheng's words were reprimanded by Huang Shuying: "Dad, you know a fart!" You don't even know that your eldest baby is sick, and you're still talking cool there! Come and touch it, how hot this forehead is! “

Li Baosheng woke up like a dream, opened his eyes wide and said, "Ah! Is this true? Then hurry up and go to Li Shulin at the village clinic to have a look, I don't know if it will disturb others in the middle of the night! ”

Huang Shuying blamed: "It's all this time, you still care about this!" I don't know how you are the village director, you can manage such a big village, but you can't manage your own affairs! ”

Li Ruoyu also remembered that his father had also served as the village director of Lijiawan for many years, that is, the village chief, but he also knew that his father's education level was not high and he had only gone to junior high school, so he could only stay at this level and run errands for the villagers of Lijiawan, but he was loyal and honest and lenient to others, so he won the support of the villagers of Lijiawan.

Li Ruoyu really had a fever this time, and his parents sent him to the village clinic two miles away again.
