No. 5 family building of Yibei Internal Combustion Engine Parts Factory.

"Dad, it's time to take the medicine, the freshly fried medicine, while it's hot."

"Ahem, how much is the cost of living this month?"

"It's enough flowers, you don't have to worry about it, drink medicine, take care of your body, it's better than anything else......"

Although the voice of the old man outside the house was already very small, the old and non-soundproof door still transmitted their conversation into the ears of Guo Yonghe in the house.

On the yellowed ceiling, a ceiling fan with a broken leaf hangs silently.

Directly below the ceiling fan, there is a desk with a painted ceiling and a wooden-shelled radio on it.

Not far from the desk against the wall, there is a dilapidated wardrobe, and next to the wall of the wardrobe, there is also a pictorial of Bay Island actress Wang Zuxian......

Guo Yonghe looked at himself in the mirror in a daze, although his face was yellow and his body was thin, he could still see that this was a young man in his twenties.

Am I dreaming?

Or is it reborn?

But why did I come back to this time?

Did God give me another chance to do it all over again?

Guo Yonghe still can't accept that he was reborn back to the fact that he was in 1992.

A trembling hand reached for the torn calendar on the table, the latest page of which read:

Wednesday, 18 March 1992.

Really......

It's really '92......

However, at this time, a strong smell of herbs wafted down the half-open door to Guo Yonghe's nose.

Smelling this familiar smell, Guo Yonghe couldn't help but burst into tears.

At this moment, he no longer had any doubts, the old time was like a flood that burst the embankment, surging through, breaking through the floodgates of memory, and scenes flashed in his mind:

1992 was a year that Guo Yonghe did not want to remember in his life.

This year, he lost the love of his life forever......

His father, Guo Changcheng, was originally a maintenance worker at the Luobei Internal Combustion Engine Parts Factory, but he was injured in a rescue activity, leaving serious sequelae, so he had to retire at home to recuperate.

All the family's expenses, including his father's medical expenses, are maintained by the salaries of Guo Yonghe and his wife Fan Xiaolei.

At this time, it was just in time for the whole country to study the speech of the southern tour, and the tide of the whole people going to the sea to do business was in full swing.

Seeing that there was no future in the factory, and at the same time, in order to change the embarrassing situation of sitting on the mountain, Guo Yonghe decided to jump into the sea and fight in this big era.

Under the persuasion of a friend, he took out the family's only remaining savings of 3,000 yuan, borrowed from relatives and friends under the banner of his father, and scraped together 20,000 yuan, which was handed over to a friend to prepare to resell coal together.

Unexpectedly, his friend had a bad heart and fled overnight, leaving Guo Yonghe, who was empty-handed, to face the criticism of relatives and friends.

The factory also fired Guo Yonghe on the grounds of absenteeism and undoing business.

The successive blows made Guo Yonghe completely lose confidence in life.

He began to give up on himself, locking himself in his room every day, relying on alcohol to numb himself, to escape the accusations and pressures of relatives and friends.

His father's dissuasion, his wife's comfort, and his mother's tears could not cheer him up.

After losing Guo Yonghe's income, the burden of life was all on his wife Fan Xiaolei.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade her husband, Fan Xiaolei silently supported the whole family with her weak shoulders.

In order to earn money to support her family and earn medical expenses for her in-laws, Fan Xiaolei often works shifts and works overtime, sometimes even 24 hours a day, just to make a little more meager overtime pay on the payroll.

Finally one day, Fan Xiaolei did not resist the exhaustion of her body and passed out in front of the electroplating pool. When Guo Yonghe received the news and rushed to the hospital with his mother Zhou Yalan, his wife was already lying in the morgue and turned into a cold corpse......

Until that moment, Guo Yonghe finally understood what it meant to regret it.

Later, I prayed to God countless times to give myself another chance to do it again......

If you were lost, you will find your way back.

If you were a prodigal son at the beginning, you would have turned back.

If you ......

It's a pity that there is no if, and no regret medicine in this world......

But I didn't expect that this time God would open his eyes and give himself a chance to do it again!

At this time, I have not been fired from the factory!

And Xiaolei is still alive!

Guo Yonghe clenched his fists hard and swore in his heart:

Guo Yonghe, Guo Yonghe!

In this life, you must live like a bright person!

Wiping away his tears in the mirror and arranging his collar, Guo Yonghe took a few deep breaths of air, and waited for his excitement to calm down a little, then he slowly opened the door and stepped out.

The small kitchen was filled with smoke, and a casserole filled with herbs was bubbling above the coal stove.

Zhou Yalan was sitting bent over by the coal stove, fanning the wind into the tuyere.

The flames in the hearth lit up and brightened with the reciprocation of the fan, reflecting the wrinkles on Zhou Yalan's face and the white hair on her head clearly.

Looking at his mother's old appearance, Guo Yonghe's nose couldn't help but be sour.

My mother is only 46 years old this year, but she is as old as a 60-year-old woman, isn't it all because of his incompetence as a son, not only can he not share the worries of his parents and bear the burden of the family, but also let his mother worry about him?

"Mom!"

Guo Yonghe shouted softly.

"Huh? Eternal peace? ”

Hearing her son's scream, Zhou Yalan sighed and said:

"It's been a few days since Xiaolei went back to her parents' house, find a time to pick them up, it's all your fault, if it weren't for you, Xiaolei wouldn't have cried and left home."

Guo Yonghe couldn't help but be stunned, he only remembered at this time that his wife had a quarrel with him a few days ago, and he returned to his parents' house in a sad way.

"Mom, I know!"

He replied:

"After work today, I'll go over and pick up Xiaolei back!"

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and then a figure flashed, and a middle-aged woman walked in with her hand open the curtain of the door.

Seeing Zhou Yalan standing in the kitchen, the middle-aged woman shook the small book in her hand and said to her:

"Yalan, it's time for your family to pay the electricity bill!"

"Sister-in-law Zhang, how much does my family owe?" Zhou Yalan asked nervously.

"I'll show you!"

As she spoke, Sister-in-law Zhang opened the small book, took a pen and found a line of numbers on it, then looked up and said:

"It's nine cents and five."

"Ah, so many?" Zhou Yalan said in surprise.

"What's more?"

Sister-in-law Zhang took the pen and quickly calculated for Zhou Yalan,

"Your family shared two and a half kilowatt-hours of electricity last month, and the electricity bill was three cents and eight cents per kilowatt-hour, doesn't it add up to exactly nine cents and five?"

"Sister-in-law Zhang, what ...... that?"

Zhou Yalan's face was flushed, and her hands rubbed on her apron for a long time, and then she said in a dry voice:

"I just gave Lao Guo medicine, and the money in my hand is not enough, you can give me a few days of relief......

"How many more days?"

Sister-in-law Zhang's face suddenly fell,

"Yalan, what's going on in your house?

"Why do you have to delay coming back for a few days?

"I'm telling you, you have to pay the electricity bill tomorrow, otherwise don't blame me for pinching your appliances!"

"Sister-in-law Zhang, can you give a few more graces, I promise to ...... before the end of the month"

Zhou Yalan lowered her head and said to Sister-in-law Zhang with caution.

"Yalan, I didn't mean to make things difficult for you!"

Sister-in-law Zhang wanted to be furious, but after looking at Zhou Yalan's wrinkled face, she sighed again, shook her head and said:

"Do you know how many times have I been criticized by the leaders for the electricity bill of your household?

"I'll make an exception for you again this time, if there is a next time, don't blame me for not being emotional!"

"Thank you! Thank you, Sister-in-law Zhang! Zhou Yalan couldn't help but be overjoyed, and bowed to Sister-in-law Zhang a few times in a row.

"Alright, alright, don't come to this set!"

Sister-in-law Zhang waved her hand in disgust,

"Next time you can pay the electricity bill on time, let me be less criticized by the leader, and let me bow to you 10,000 times, I am willing!"
