Chapter 1 Rebirth of the Eventful Years!
In March 1979, on a day that was uncommon for ordinary people, although the Spring Festival had passed, there were still a few snowflakes mixed in the drizzle.
Snowflakes come and go without a trace, often before they land, they turn into snow water, moistening the land of the Loess Plateau.
In such weather, there are not many pedestrians on the streets of the city. Unless it's work, people would rather stay at home than come out in the rain and get cold. Such a small county town seems to have lost its former vitality at this time, as bleak as the weather at this time.
However, at this time, a high school in Yangping County is very lively at the moment.
The reason for the excitement in the school is not complicated, it is already out of class at this time, and it is time for lunch.
As soon as the doors of the school's grades opened, a large number of male and female student dolls ran out in a hurry. They talked and laughed, and ran to the school cafeteria in muddy water. Because it was raining, the originally dry and flat loess was trampled into a mudflat by the chaotic crowd in an instant.
At the entrance of the cafeteria on campus, more than a dozen columns have now been lined up according to classes.
Judging from the blackened crowd in line, most of them are from the countryside, and their faces and bodies have more or less traces of manual labor. Except for a few families who are really difficult and dress very rusticly, most of the 'scholars' dress decently.
Although most of the people in poor villages have little food and clothing at present, since their children go to study in big places, their parents are suffering themselves, and they have to give them a few clothes that they can wear to meet people.
Of course, there are a few very well-dressed people in this team, needless to say, the clothes, just look at the bright watch in their hands, you know that their living conditions are not at all comparable to ordinary peasant children. These students live in good conditions, are well nourished, and are well-dressed, standing among the children of peasant families, like chickens standing out from the crowd, the gap is too great.
The cooking aunt in the cafeteria is busy distributing meals to everyone, and everyone's meals were registered and paid for yesterday, so the procedure is not complicated.
Due to the limited conditions, from the perspective of modern people, the meals in the canteen are not very tasty. Even in the school cafeteria, the dishes are still mainly potatoes, cabbage and vermicelli, with some slices of meat scattered in them for three cents each.
It's still spring, and the school has the conditions to cook some good meals, but a few months ago, the students ate some clear soup and little water food, and they couldn't see much oiliness.
At this time, the only people who can afford to use lunch boxes are students from urban families, and most of the children of peasant families are carrying lunch boxes, but in fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are basins.
As for the staple food, it is divided into three categories, namely white flour steamed bread, corn flour steamed bread and black multigrain steamed bread; White, yellow, black, the color indicates a difference; Students jokingly refer to Europe, Asia, Africa.
"Auntie, give me two multigrain steamed buns."
Jiang Yulou held the bowl in one hand and talked to the rice aunt in front of him with a smile.
The rice aunt looked at the boy in front of her with a complicated face, and sighed: "You are still at the age of growing your body, you eat two multigrain steamed buns every day, can you eat enough?" ”
Jiang Yulou didn't answer, just touched his nose and smiled honestly.
After eating, Jiang Yulou found a place in the cafeteria and sat down.
Looking at the food in front of him, his nose was sore, and he almost cried.
It's been a few days since he was reborn, and he still hasn't fully adapted to his current life.
No one understands the suffering of this era better than him, he was retired before he was reborn, and the old guy's soul still has to force a young man, which is still very troublesome.
In his previous life, he graduated from the county high school, and after graduation, he was assigned to teach at an elementary school in the county.
It's a pity that the college entrance examination score is not high, and he can't go to college, if he is successfully admitted, a college diploma, then it will be called flying on the branches.
And the woman he loved the most......
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.
Jiang Yulou always felt that he did not meet talents in his previous life, and he liked to read all kinds of books on weekdays, such as literary magazines, domestic and foreign novels, etc.
It can be said that most of his salary is spent on this.
Within a few years of working, he was introduced to get married.
After marriage, the two had no relationship, and after the second year of marriage, the elementary school was closed, and he was unemployed, and the conflict between the husband and wife broke out, and his wife abandoned him and ran away with others.
This also became a pain in his heart.
For many years afterward, he did not remarry.
First, he still has his first love in his heart, and secondly, he is also completely disappointed in his marriage.
He gave up love, threw himself into the tide of the sea, and engaged in the publishing industry, but he also mixed well.
Before his rebirth, he was already a well-known book merchant in China.
There is no shortage of money, and there is no shortage of women.
However, who would have thought that he would return to this turbulent time.
In this era, let alone a rich life, it is a luxury to have a full meal.
Jiang Yulou's family conditions are very poor, and it is too difficult to go to school. A seventeen or eighteen-year-old offspring like him is the age when he can eat and drink. But he can only eat two multigrain steamed buns per meal.
It's not a decades later that people are overnourished and occasionally eat some grains for a change of taste. This multigrain steamed bun is really not nutritious, and it is hard, and it will pull your throat when you swallow it.
When he first crossed, he really couldn't eat, after all, his appetite had been nourished by the delicacies of the mountains and seas of later generations, but after two hungry meals...... It smells so good!
It's just that I can't eat enough of these two multigrain black steamed buns.
According to his meal, he needed at least four or five of these black guys for a meal. Eating at this point now just doesn't starve people to death.
To tell the truth, with the food he is eating now, there is no oil or water at all, and he is already severely malnourished.
In this year, rural students only spent half a day in school. The rest of the time, either on the road, or going home to farm.
The daily work is unstoppable, from returning home after eating until dinner. This period of time is the most difficult for Jiang Yulou. Until the time of eating, he only felt that his eyes were blooming, the world was spinning, and his thinking was completely non-existent, and he just picked up the chopsticks and cooked mechanically with difficulty.
It's really half-reading and half-peasant.
Life is already crushing him, where is there time to plan for the future.
It is not easy for his family to let a junior like him come to the county seat to go to high school without working and eating for nothing. In order to let him go to school, the eldest brother didn't even take the junior high school exam, and went home at the age of thirteen to work as a farmer. How could he have extra demands on them now?
My parents are in their fifties, with old arms and legs, and they can't earn a few jobs; As he grew older, his food and clothing increased, and he spent a lot of money on high school.
Just when Jiang Yulou was eating multigrain steamed buns like chewing wax, a newspaper on the table caught his attention.
