Rebirth at Seventy: Counterattack on Life

Chapter 1 The Zhou family in a small town

The weather in June was swelteringly hot, with no wind at all, and people's hearts gradually became anxious as the temperature rose.

"Mom, I know you are not happy to let me take over, but now I am the only one in our family who barely meets the conditions. Moreover, if I can't take over, I will have to go to the countryside."

"Don't even think about it. My little sister is only six years old. It will take 12 years until she turns 12. How can you guarantee that this policy will still be there after [-] years?"

"Besides, now that no one is working, how can our family survive? How can my father treat his illness and how can my sisters go to school?"

Zhou Jinxin, the eldest son of the Zhou family, looked at her mother's unhappy look and said in a low voice.

She has been here for a week and has found out the situation at home. It is now the 70s and the situation at home is not optimistic.

She was originally a promising young woman in the [-]th century. After graduation, she directly entered the system to work.

Because my job is easy, I often do sports to kill time and energy. I am not only proficient in the operation of various sports equipment, but also started learning fighting martial arts under the recommendation of a coach. Unfortunately, I suffered some injuries due to improper training. Had to recuperate at home.

I finally gave myself a vacation and stayed at home, reading novels and binge-watching TV series. Who would have thought that one day when I woke up, I would suddenly be here and become Zhou Jinxin, the eldest daughter of the family.

Looking at this dilapidated home and the younger version of herself, she couldn't help but feel unhappy. However, she arrived at the wrong time. As soon as she came here, she encountered a major change in her family.

This is an inconspicuous small town in the Northeast. They are an ordinary but extraordinary family in the town.

The Zhou family is a hard-working couple. Their parents were gone when they were young. The couple had been married for more than ten years and had five daughters in succession.

Because they have no son, the old couple feels a little embarrassed by being laughed at by relatives, friends and neighbors in the town, both overtly and covertly.

Who said that in these days, a family without a son would be equal to a destitute family? Now it is still an era when sons are the breadwinners of the family.

The house leaked and it rained all night. Originally, the family of seven relied on the wages earned by Mr. Zhou as a road maintenance worker on the railway, carrying sleepers and breaking stones.

Because he insisted on providing education for several girls, his life was already stretched.

As a result, the old man had been engaged in physical labor all year round. He suddenly suffered from cerebral hemorrhage and was now paralyzed on the kang, unable to take care of himself. He had to be taken care of by others when he was eating, drinking and urinating.

My income was gone, and my dream of having another son was shattered.

The old lady Yao Yawen gritted her teeth and went to the old man's unit several times to find the leader, hoping that the leader could solve the problem of the old man's medical expenses and future living expenses.

It's a pity that those leaders are also masters of Tai Chi. After a few months, their family was unable to open the matter. In the end, the medical expenses and living expenses were still not negotiated.

Fortunately, the current work unit policy is quite good. Children can take over if their parents retire, get sick, or pass away.

Most families let their sons take over, especially those who are engaged in manual labor like Mr. Zhou.

Unfortunately, there are only five daughters in their family, and only the eldest daughter barely reached the age of eighteen.

According to normal circumstances, children under the age of [-] are not allowed to take over. However, in the Zhou family's situation, if their children are not allowed to take over, then their family will be faced with the situation of not being able to eat or treat their illnesses. In addition, Yao Yawen often goes to Duanli. Looking for leaders also gives the leaders in the section a headache.

So the leaders in Duanli held a meeting while the old lady took the trouble to take the girls to the siege, and they unanimously agreed to turn a blind eye and let the eldest daughter of the Zhou family, Zhou Jinxin, fill in the false age and take over. Forget about his dad's class.

No, it was about to go to work, but the old lady Yao Yawen was not very happy.

"I know, no matter what your father is like now, our family must have someone to take over, but you have to remember that you are the one who got this job. If anything happens to your little sister in the future, you have to take more care of your little sister. That’s all.”

Yao Yawen, the old lady of the Zhou family, looked at her six-year-old daughter and told Zhou Jinxin with a bad look on her face.

According to the normal retirement age of the old man, the younger daughter should take over. She had not expected this situation, so she was not very willing to let the boss take over. She always felt that she was sorry for the younger daughter.

"I know that our family will have to rely on my salary in the future. How can I still make money and hide it myself?"

The boss, Zhou Jinxin, glanced at the old lady who looked not very good and said.

What if she wants to go?His father does hard work on the railway. As a big girl, she might have to carry sleepers, break stones, lay rails and so on like his father. Do you think she is King Kong?

She is also a young girl, okay? Who wants to do such physical work? There is no way. Of course she chooses to go to the countryside or take over. Why does she have to go to the countryside to undergo labor reform?

I heard her mother say before that when she went to the countryside, it was really hard. If she stayed here to work, she would still have a chance to break out of this unit. If she went to the countryside and wanted to go back to the city, it might be in what year. It's over.

She also knew that several girls were thinking about this spot as a successor. After all, it would be such a glory and honor to have a formal job these days, so it was only true that they should occupy this spot as a formal worker first.

"Sister, when you make money, remember to buy me new clothes."

The second eldest child, Zhou Jinkun, looked at the eldest sister and said that she was 16 years old this year. If it weren't for the fact that her employer didn't agree because she was not old enough, she would have wanted this job, although she also knew that her small frame was not suitable for this job.

She was still a little envious when she saw her eldest sister getting ready to go to work in clothes that were not old yet.

"If you want to buy new clothes, you know they are pretty. How much can your sister pay for just starting work? You still have to buy medicine for your father to treat his illness. The whole family doesn't eat or drink? Can't even go to school?"

When the old lady saw her second son saying this, she immediately became unhappy and scolded him.

"I just said that, Mom, why are you scolding me again?"

Zhou Jinkun pouted and said unhappily, she knew how to curse in a day, she could tell, and no one except her little sister and her mother could look down on her.

"Uh~uh~"

The ladies here were talking. Mr. Zhou, who was lying on the kang, spoke hesitantly, with saliva flowing down the corners of his mouth. However, he was unable to say a complete sentence. On the contrary, he was anxious for himself. Enough.

"I said you can do it, it's already like this, why are you still getting mixed up?"

Seeing her husband like this, the old lady quickly took a handkerchief to wipe his saliva, and kept complaining about him.

Old man Zhou doesn't care about her, he knows that his wife is a sharp-tongued person, and she won't let anyone get away with her, so he is used to it.
