March 16, 1980.

Weather, sunny, north wind, 11°C.

Zhang Qing'an sat on the stone roller in a daze, the child in front of him was quietly approaching his old earthen house, he was holding a bottle full of rape flowers in one hand and a broom silk in the other, concentrating and cautious, for fear of alarming something.

The old house in front of me is my home, there is no electric fan, no TV, and no wireless network.

Zhang Qing'an seems to have been reborn in the early 80s, saying that it seems that it is because the name of his country is Dahua, and the village where he is located belongs to Zhangjia Village under Changhe Town, Baiwang County, not Shuanghe Village in the past.

So this is the eighties of the parallel world? An era of destituteness...... Soul piercing or rebirth is a question worth pondering.

Buying things here is different from the 80s in the previous life, although it is also very unruly, but you don't need bills to buy things, you just have money? Isn't this the wings that give the two dealers the world wings to soar for nine days?

Zhang Qing'an has been here for three days, and in three days he sorted out the memory of the original owner, the old man is still called Zhang Weiguo, and the old mother is also called Wang Ailian, but he has two more sisters, the eldest sister is called Zhang Qingping, and the second sister is called Zhang Qingxi, which means peace and festivity.

In the past, he didn't feel much about being the only child in the family, but now that he has two more sisters, he found that the old man has the same feudal idea of patriarchy in his bones, like everyone else.

In the past few years, the old man has been unable to go to the field because of the cold on his waist and legs, and the second family of Zhang, who couldn't open the pot, had a very hard time.

In order to live, the old man found a matchmaker, hoping to find a home for his eldest daughter, and the gift money was set at 200 yuan.

The eldest sister is beautiful, with a standard goose egg face, Rao is so under the gut of the matchmaker Quartet or it took a long time to find a candidate, the other party is a man surnamed Li in Changhe Town named Li Zhongqiang, not tall and average-looking, six years older than the eldest sister, working in the kiln factory in the town, with a salary of more than 20 per month, after seeing Zhang Qingping's appearance, he immediately agreed to take 200 yuan, on the condition that he did not do it.

Not holding a banquet is not paying attention to your mother's family, and you will be ridiculed by the villagers, but at that time, Zhang's second family was about to starve to death, where can you manage this.

The bride price of 200 yuan is a heavy gift, and many jobs in this era are personally arranged by the state leaders, and the scarcity of posts goes without saying, that is, it is only in the past two years that Changhe Town has slowly introduced private enterprises.

But rural people who have no education are basically screened and eliminated in the first round. Therefore, it is very enviable to have a state-owned establishment and get a salary every month, Li Zhongqiang's salary of 20 yuan is indeed enviable, but taking out 200 yuan at once is also a big hemorrhage for him.

Maybe it's because the eldest brother-in-law is dissatisfied with the old man's lion's big mouth, anyway, since then, the eldest sister rarely interacts with the family except for a trip home for the New Year.

The eldest sister is young and beautiful, although she is beautiful and ugly, she can be regarded as climbing a high branch, and the Zhang family has not been hungry for two years after relying on the bride price money earned by the eldest sister.

Zhang Qingan clearly remembered that the old man in his previous life obviously loved his granddaughter more than his grandson...... That's right, it's a parallel world.

"Don't run away from Grandma."

A shout made Zhang Qing'an instantly come to his senses, looking at the child who was running wildly in the mud with a bottle and his feet, he unconsciously showed a bad smile on his face, and behind the child was the third uncle and aunt who was chasing after him with a broom.

During the chase, the child stepped into the puddle, widening the distance, trying to use this to have a battle of wits with the third uncle, the splashed muddy water made the third uncle and aunt behind him even more angry, while shouting and scolding while opening his hand to jump back and forth, the third aunt was deep in the mystery of catching the bear child, and she was a beautiful feint to easily catch the bear child.

The screams of Ya Ya rose and fell with each other, and Sun Monkey finally couldn't escape the Buddha's palm, how jubilant he jumped just now, and how miserable he cried now......

March is the season of rape flowers, children always like to hold a bottle to catch bees at the mouth of the mud wall hole, just in the past few days Zhang Qingan has listened to no less than three children were beaten and screamed, because the original harvest of rape flowers and fruits was broken.

Listening to the sound of popping on the white buttocks, looking at the little nephew who was carried home like a chicken, Zhang Qing'an was inexplicably a little gloating in his heart, and the soul in his fifties seemed to have found rare fun.

The letter from the third uncle was reported by him.

"Sanwa, it's time to eat."

"Come on"

After watching a big scene, Zhang Qingan jumped down from the stone and patted the patched clothes on his body that were not dirty, and after coming here, he would always habitually pay attention to whether his clothes were soiled.

In the house, Wang Ailian brought a pot of sweet potatoes and a small dish of dried vegetables to the table, and a boiled egg, the Zhang family's usual three meals a day are like this, this kind of sweet potato is a coarse grain grown by home, two cents is enough for the family to eat for a day, and the egg is five cents a piece, and the family is qualified to eat Zhang Qing'an, an heirloom.

Wang Ailian picked two big ones for Zhang Weiguo, and then took two more to Zhang Qingan, and finally the second sister Zhang Qingxi can be selected, girls in the countryside are all money-losers, even if they grow up and marry with a bride price, they are also at a loss, and the concept of male superiority and inferiority is really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and poisons a generation, which can be seen from Wang Ailian's attitude towards Wang Weiguo.

"Mrs. Pan gave the news, Xia Shunshun, the second son of Xia Rongguo of Xiaoxia Village, and Zhou Yan, the eldest son of Zhou Shuimin of Xiaozhouzhuang, are both good,, you can find out about it in the past two days and see if these two children are reliable."

Zhang Weiguo put one hand in his sleeve, and took a bite of the sweet potato in the other, probably because the cocoon was too thick.

The second sister Zhang Qingxi is nearly seventeen years old, and she is approaching the age of marriage, marrying out early can not only reduce the burden on the family as soon as possible, but also reduce the amount of food for one person, if it were not for the legal eighteen years old to get married, he would have married the second girl a long time ago.

Zhang Qingxi lowered his head and ate the sweet potato in his hand without making a sound, the words of the matchmaker of his parents' orders, unlike the previous life, which paid attention to free love and went crazy for love, it was all a big rebellion, Zhang Qingan was not easy to say, he had only been here for three days, and the second sister was beaten up on the same day when he gave the eggs to the second sister on the first day.

Wang Ailian responded, and she took this matter to heart.

"The third baby is not small, damn it, when you go, pay more attention to see if there is a suitable female doll, prepare early, the children of the third family can play soy sauce all over the ground, and our family's seed can't be broken in me."

Zhang Qinghuai, his cousin, his child, the bear child who was beaten just now, is named Zhang Youfei, and is Zhang Qingan's nephew.

"Dad, I'm not in a hurry."

Zhang Qingan knew that half of the reason why the family was in a hurry to marry the second sister was that he wanted to ask for a bride price to prepare for his son's marriage, after all, Zhang Qingan is now 16 years old, and he will reach the age where he can start a family in two years, plus Zhang Weiguo is an old man, so he wants to hold his grandson as soon as possible.

But selling his sister to start a family for himself, Zhang Qingan really couldn't accept it.

"Men should work hard, start a business first and then start a family." Zhang Qingan had a plan, and before Zhang Weiguo could speak, he said his thoughts: "When the eldest sister came back for the Chinese New Year, my brother-in-law said that there is actually a way out in the town, but I need to compete by myself, and I want to try." ”

"Your brother-in-law, would he really say that?"

Zhang Weiguo was very suspicious, because he tried to arrange his son to work in the kiln factory through his son-in-law several times, but he couldn't do it, and he didn't say anything about it for the sake of face, after all, it is not a glorious thing for the elders to ask the younger generations to be rejected.

"Well, the work of the kiln factory is state-owned, and it is not easy to enter with a special establishment, but there are still a few private factories opened by big bosses in the town, and I heard that they will always recruit people until the end of March, by the way, Brother Daofeng seems to work in one of the screw factories, and he can get more than 20 yuan a month if he does a good job, and his family also bought a 28 bar some time ago."

Not all households in Zhangjia Village have the surname Zhang, originally there were only a dozen households in Zhangjia Village, and in the early years of the national policy preparation, the basic household head of the village needed to reach 30 households, so some displaced people were placed here when Zhang Qing'an was not born, which is what is now Zhangjia Village.

Zhangjiacun is divided into a large team and a second team, the first team is surnamed Zhang, and the second team is some foreign surnames, but everyone gets along on weekdays and does not dare to divide each other on this, otherwise they will be put on the hat of differentiation.

Lu Daofeng is a member of the second team, who lives at the end of the village, and is one of the few people in the village who can enter the factory to work, and their family is also a relatively good family in Zhangjia Village, and there are always a few days a month to eat meat.

Speaking of Lu Daofeng, Zhang Weiguo was obviously stunned, that is indeed the first owner to buy a bicycle in the village, but isn't it because Lu Daofeng's child has the ability, since he has a bicycle, the door-to-door matchmaker lined up in a long line, which is definitely rare in Zhangjia Village, and I heard that the bicycle costs more than 100 yuan.

If his son can be as promising as Lu Daofeng, their old Zhang family can be regarded as smoking from the ancestral grave, but he is worried that his son's qualifications are not enough to go in vain, but he also has an expectation in his heart, in case his son is chosen. The old man didn't speak, but he calculated the value in his heart, who doesn't have the heart to hope for Jackie Chan, he can't do it, and his hope can only be pinned on Sanwa.

Although the threshold for these private factories is as high as it is scary, it is not without opportunities.

"It's good to give it a go, it's not long at the end of March, why don't you take you over next time?"

Zhang Weiguo thought about it and agreed, he actually hoped that his son could work in the town, in the past few years, the crops have been noisy, the harvest is not good, many people are looking at the town, yearning for the working life in the city, but suffering from useless culture, except for farming, many people are trapped in the countryside.

The first few times I looked for the eldest son-in-law was to want his son to get rid of the fate in the countryside, but the eldest son-in-law was only an old employee of the kiln factory, and he had no qualifications to recommend.

"I want to go by myself, I've been to Changhe Town a few times, I'm 16 years old, I can't always rely on my dad to take it, I think tomorrow is a good day, I said hello to my eldest sister, I lived in her house during this time, but it's not good to be empty-handed just to find a job, not to mention that now my brother-in-law and eldest sister also have children and have to support the family, so ......"

"17, what a fart day, you just want to leave this house early." Zhang Weiguo seemed to see through his son's thoughts.

Zhang Qingan blinked his eyes and didn't speak again, the plan in his heart was impossible to change.

"Forget it, whatever you want, the relationship between you needs money, you, give ten yuan to the baby at night, you go to your sister, let your brother-in-law help you move around more, he went to elementary school, he is a cultural person, if there are more, you have to bring it back, don't spend it indiscriminately."

Zhang Weiguo's generosity was a bit unexpected by Zhang Qingxi, in the past few years, the family has not been able to make ends meet, every penny has to be broken in half to spend, the eldest sister's bride price is probably not much left, ten yuan is a month's living expenses for their family, which shows that the old man attaches great importance to his son.

Originally, I thought that it would be very good to have two or three yuan, but the plan went unexpectedly smoothly, and Zhang Qingan, who got ten yuan at night, felt a lot of joy in his heart, and finally had enough confidence to start the future.

As for going to work in the factory in the town, of course, it is all a lie, if there is no system, he may really go to the factory, but he also travels to this parallel time and space with the system, and it is impossible to go to the factory to work.
