Chapter 001: Goodbye, 2014
Chapter 001 Goodbye, 2014
Sitting on the steps of the laundry table in the basket weir, looking at the green lotus leaves and red lotus flowers in the weir pond in a daze, Yang Xia has not yet recovered from the shock.
"What am I, reborn, crossed?" Looking at the mountains near and far in Caijiawan, the high and low forests, and the tall poplar trees in the yard of his hometown, what a familiar scenery, but Yang Xia is really difficult to accept.
In Nanshu Province in the 21st century, Yang Xia's name can also be regarded as "spreading thousands of miles away".
Because Yang Xia is the chief reporter of the current affairs section of Nanshu Daily, his name often appears on the first page of the newspaper at the same time as the secretary and the governor; At the same time, Yang Xia also likes to dance and write ink in his spare time, make some hazy poems when he was young, and get some novels after middle age.
Therefore, the titles of celebrities, famous writers, cultural celebrities, directors and executive directors of various associations are also worn by accident, and they are all red.
However, compared with his classmates, friends, and fellow countrymen, Yang Xia was weak. At least, before being reborn, Yang Xia had seriously thought about this issue. He felt that although he had predicted several changes in his life, due to his lonely personality and lazy behavior, he did not seize those opportunities once, but his classmates, friends, and fellow countrymen who were close to him, whether in officialdom, shopping malls, or even in the powder market, have made good achievements under his guidance.
Yang Xia was weak because Yang Xia felt that this life was not worth it. At the age of forty, Yang Xia felt that he had not yet reached the state of "not confused", but a year before the age of fifty, he suddenly felt that he had "known the destiny of heaven" and accepted his fate, so he called a buddy - strictly speaking his big leader - Minister Liu Gengsheng Liu, who was in charge of the provincial newspaper, and faintly expressed his desire to be promoted to "special reporter", no way, 12 qualified people, but only 4 promotion places, the ratio of three to one, the competition is too strong.
For Yang Xia, who was sitting on the laundry table in Ba Wanyan, the voice of his buddy seemed to be still ringing in his ears.
"Yang Xia, I have already told your boss about you, and I have also told the people of the Journalists Association, you kid, it's time to have a treat." Yang Xia was driving to Yang Hong's residence, but received a call from Liu Gengsheng in the car.
"Dude, you're telling the truth, oops, great, great!" Yang Xia pretended to be a little surprised, so as to make Liu Gengsheng more accomplished and more buddy, unaware that a dump truck transporting muck rushed towards him like Mount Tai.
There was a violent collision, and the muck was dumped on his Audi like a torrential rain, and then, Yang Xia lost consciousness.
And when he woke up, he found himself lying on the laundry table in the barrow weir for a nap, and, obviously, with his little arms and legs, he realized: he had returned to the past, and he had inherited the memory of this little arm and leg: today is July 20, 1978! Because yesterday, he went to Chiquan Middle School to get a high school admission letter.
It's been a full hour back in 1978, but Yang Xia still can't believe or don't want to admit it.
This emotion is not because of how many things make him nostalgic in 2014, his wife who is not a conspirator is divorced, and his only daughter is already working in the East China Sea and is enjoying love, and she is almost about to forget her father; As for the title of that special reporter, to hell with him. Although Yang Xia also cares about the hundreds of oceans of salary increased after being rated as a senior title, a qualified reporter has already earned enough money, and he doesn't want to earn it.
The only concern is Yang Hong.
Yang Hong is Yang Xia's family, when the two met at a pen meeting, Yang Xia was 39 years old and was at the peak of men's charm, while Yang Hong was 24 years old and had just graduated from college for two years, because he published poetry in the "Nanxing" poetry magazine, so the two met at the meeting.
At the beginning of the 21st century, Yang Xia was a middle-aged uncle with discipline, although he thought Yang Hong was amazing, he didn't act like a pig brother, and of course he wouldn't become a "monkey brother". Compared with other poets and writers in attendance, Yang Xia was quite reserved and arrogant. Of course, this is related to Yang Xia's own advantages, that is, his conversation has both the elegance of a literati, the big (tone) of an official, and the cheesiness of a businessman; In addition, Yang Xia's image is also very benign and healthy, with a height of 1.76 meters, a handsome face, and a flat abdomen...... And poets and writers, saying something unpleasant, most of them are not good in terms of image, except for female poets and female writers, of course.
At the end of the pen meeting, they all left phone calls from each other, including Yang Hong's and other people's.
Yang Xia didn't call Yang Hong because Yang Xia was reserved and arrogant. Only occasionally when talking to other poets and writers on the phone, Yang Xia's mind would come up with the amazing face of his sister.
One day a year later, Yang Xia suddenly received a call from Yang Hong, saying that she had come to the provincial capital and asked Yang Xia if she was free. At this time, Yang Xia naturally won't be arrogant anymore, "Free, free, where are you?" ”
That year, Yang Xia just bought his own private car, and he can be regarded as a successful person in Shudu.
In the first two years, Yang Xia and Yang Hong had fewer opportunities to meet, and when they met, they drank coffee and ate hot pot, and nothing beyond friendship happened.
In the spring of 2006, Yang Hong suddenly called and said that she felt very tired in Jiazhou and wanted to change the environment. Yang Xia said Okay, I'll figure it out for you, what do you think of Shudu, which industry do you want to go to, and what are the requirements in terms of salary.
Transferring provincial capitals from the localities is difficult in any province in China. However, this did not make it difficult for Yang Xia. Of course, Yang Xia also had to work hard, and it wasn't even easy.
Why did Yang Hong tell Yang Xia about the transfer, and why did Yang Xia take the initiative to accept it, and then neither of the two sides said the reason to the other party, everything was natural.
When Yang Hong was transferred to the provincial capital, Yang Xia realized that Yang Hong was also unhappy, she was a person with beautiful fantasies about love, but her husband was in front of her and hugged another woman's waist. And Yang Hong had to endure until her father-in-law completely retired from the leadership position in Jiazhou, and then submitted a divorce complaint to the court.
This is the sorrow of marrying into a wealthy family. Perhaps, her husband's family is not a wealthy family.
……
"Fifth brother, fifth brother, my mother told you to go home for dinner." A call pulled Yang Xia back to reality.
"Yang Dong, what did my mother cook for lunch?" The person who came is Yang Xia's younger brother Yang Dong, born in 1968, is only 10 years old now, in the previous life, Yang Dong was admitted to the Provincial Post and Telecommunications School after graduating from high school, and returned to Wucheng after graduation.
Yang Xia has a total of four brothers and sisters, spring, summer, autumn and winter. Yang Chun is a sister, and she just graduated from junior high school this year, but her sister did not get a high school notice, and her sister in her previous life has been working as a farmer at home since then, although her sister struggled in every way after getting married, but because her brother-in-law was not very effective, her family background has been at the bottom of several brothers and sisters, until Yang Xia found a business for her sister, but she was defeated by her brother-in-law.
The sister in the previous life can be said to be a nightmare for a lifetime, and she was reborn, can she change her sister's fate?
In spring, summer, autumn and winter, Yang Xia is the second, but why does Yang Dong call him "fifth brother". This has to talk about the Yang family.
Yang Xia's father, Yang Guangyao, also has two elder brothers, that is, Yang Xia's uncle Yang Guangzong, the second uncle Yang Guanghua, the eldest uncle and the second uncle all have several children, therefore, at the insistence of the grandfather, the children born to the three brothers are uniformly sorted, of which the eldest brother and the second brother are born to the uncle, the third brother and the fourth brother are born to the second uncle, the fifth is Yang Xia himself, the sixth is Yang Qiu, the seventh Yang Rong is born to the uncle, and the eighth is Yang Dong. In addition, the uncle, the second uncle and his father each raised a woman, and the order of the three women is just the opposite, Yang Xia's sister Yang Chun was born in 1962 as the eldest sister, the second uncle's daughter Yang Meng was born in 1963 as the second sister, and the uncle's daughter Yang Xiaoli was the same year as Yang Xia, but she was younger than Yang Xia and was the younger sister.
"Pumpkin rice, stir-fried meat with green peppers." Yang Dong said, looking intoxicated.
"Hey...... Got a guest at home? Yang Xia suddenly remembered that the Yang family was very poor at this time, and if it weren't for his father weaving some baskets and sieves to sell them in Chiquan in exchange for some change, the family might not even be able to light kerosene lamps.
Lamp? If Yang Xia is not mistaken, it was not until 1993 that the telephone poles would be drawn from the streets of Wuxianmiao to the countryside.
"No, my father said that you were admitted to high school, which is not easy for our family, and I want to congratulate you." Yang Dong said obediently.
"Oh......" Yang Xia still hasn't turned a corner, in his previous life, after he got the notice, it seems that he hasn't eaten meat at home.
"Fifth brother, I will also go to high school in the future." Yang Dong said in a hurry.
"Well, I'm in high school, and I'm going to college." Looking at the thin body of the little brother, Yang Xia's eyes were a little moist.
"Fifth brother, my father said that being admitted to high school is equivalent to being admitted to Juren before, and being admitted to university is equivalent to being a jinshi in the past, isn't that true?" Yang Dong asked again. In the winter of 1977, a college entrance examination was held, and some educated youths in Yang Xia's hometown left the countryside in this way.
"Daddy is right." Yang Xia was a little moved. It's been many years since I've experienced such a strong family affection.
"Fifth brother, will you go to university?" Yang Dong turned around and looked at Yang Xia very seriously.
"Xiaodong, the fifth brother will. And the fifth brother assures you that the fifth brother will definitely get the first place in the exam, that is, the champion who is more powerful than the Jinshi! "It is not particularly difficult for a reborn person to have unlimited psychological advantages, and to be the first in the province or even the country in the college entrance examination.
"Well, fifth brother, my father also said that with your grades, you will definitely be able to be admitted to university in the future." Yang Dong shook his head and said.
Yang Xia didn't answer again. When Yang Xia was in elementary school, from the first grade to the fifth grade, he was the first in the class, but because the Yang family had more than 30 acres of land when it was liberated, and the family composition was defined as "rich peasants", no matter how good Yang Xia performed in all aspects and how good his grades were, he did not join the sacred Red Soldier organization, let alone be elected as a class leader or a cadre such as a study committee.
And the most important thing is that after graduating from primary school and going to junior high school, it is not an exam but a "recommendation", how can the descendants of rich peasants be recommended to Chiquan Middle School, so Yang Xia's junior high school is in Wuxianmiao Primary School, Wuxianmiao Commune Primary School is set up in junior high school classes, this kind of junior high school is called "hat junior high school", and its teachers are completely primary school teachers.
It can be said that if it weren't for Deng Weiren's resumption of the college entrance examination and the resumption of the admissions exams at all levels at the same time, Yang Xia would not have had a chance to step into the door of high school in his previous life or in the future.
"Dad, mother, the fifth brother is back." Yang Xia thought about his thoughts all the way, but he didn't expect to arrive at the door of his home.
"Dad, mother, eldest sister, sixth brother...... Hey, grandparents, are you here......" Yang Xia beckoned to his family while running to his grandfather's side, shaking his grandfather's body. Although grandpa was born in 1905 in the former Qing Dynasty, his body is very tough and can withstand Yang Xia's shaking.
The reason why Yang Xia said "Grandparents, you are here" is because grandparents usually live in the uncle's house and live with the uncle's family. However, the people of the Yang family are very filial, no matter which of the three brothers Yang Guangzong, Yang Guanghua, and Yang Guangyao cooks delicious food, they will invite their parents together.
For Yang Xia, the scene of family reunion is still deeply touching to him.
