Rebirth 1990: I have three golden fingers.

2023, the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.

In Wencheng, on the Unknown Tomb Mountain, the chill of winter is particularly obvious.

The freezing rain had just passed, and there was an icy air in the air that made people feel suffocating.

The branches were covered with frost. On the grass near the tombstone, the biting cold wind froze all the grass seedlings to death, leaving only a few dry stubbles hanging sadly, like sad wrecks.

At this time, the sky was gray and covered with dark clouds, as if the whole world had fallen into darkness.

At the top of the mountain, in front of a row of frozen tombstones, a man of about 50 years old was kneeling. He held a family photo in his right hand. There were obvious cut scars on the middle three fingers, which had been cut off by something unknown.

He was not afraid of the biting cold wind, nor did he care about the cold and wet ground. He was drinking from a bottle of Laobaigan in his left hand and muttering something expressionlessly.

"Mother-in-law, you left the year before last, and before the New Year is over this year, my father-in-law also left.

It’s okay to leave. I know you have been in pain these past few years and often shed tears. "

On the heads of the tombstones of the two elders, there are several strings of crystal frost hanging, like frozen tears, solidified in the cold environment.

After he glanced at the profile picture, his mood fluctuated a little, and he continued to murmur:

"I also want to leave, but my parents are still alive. I can't be so selfish. I still have to survive."

"I'm not a human being. I didn't take good care of my wife and daughter. I wish my father-in-law had slapped me to death!"

Fang Bai became more and more excited as he talked, and his tears couldn't help but fall on the family photo. He couldn't help but wipe the scar on his right hand, only to find that more tears fell.

In the photo, in addition to him standing in the middle, there is also a cute four-year-old girl holding a rag doll and a beautiful woman wearing a large skirt. The smiles on the faces of the family of three seem to melt everything.

Recalling these two people who often lingered in his heart, Fang Bai's heart was as sad as being cut by a sharp knife, filled with regret, guilt, despair, and desolation.

In October 2001, a five-year-old girl was hit by a car at the entrance of a kindergarten and died. This made the local news and became known throughout the city.

After hearing the news, the two families fell into extreme sadness. The wife even blamed herself extremely, thinking that she had not taken good care of the children and had to bear the criticism of others around her. In the end, her mentality collapsed and she committed suicide after a few days of depression.

The father-in-law slapped Fang Bai several times and scolded him for not managing the family well.

At that time, Fang Bai lost his loved ones one after another, making Fang Bai choked with grief and unable to cry. His soul seemed to have been drained dry, and his body was just an empty shell. He showed his face expressionlessly every day, and many people mocked him behind his back:

"This kind of person has become a multi-faceted person by running a lot of business outside. He has no human feelings. His wife and children died without even seeing him shed a single tear."

"My wife dresses so beautifully, but my children don't have a good education. No matter how much money I make, it's useless. Maybe it's just that the money I make isn't clean. Karma is retribution."

At that time, Fang Bai hoped that his father-in-law would give him a good beating so that he could feel a little relieved from his guilt.

Perhaps his father-in-law saw that his eyes were dull and slapped him a few times before falling to the ground and crying bitterly. The white-haired man gave the black-haired man a gift. Who could be more sad than him!

Fang Bai was in a state of confusion for several years, not knowing how to spend the years of collapse. His beard and hair grew too long and he didn't know how to trim them, so his father used scissors to help him cut them blindly.

His parents have repeatedly advised him to remarry, but his mentality has changed and he cannot get out of that psychological shadow.

Fang Bai cried more and more as he recalled it. He didn't know how much he drank and fainted.

When he woke up again, he found himself lying on the bedside with severe pain in three fingers of his right hand.

Awakened by pain!

He stared closely at the three fingers on his right hand, which had been cut off in the middle. They had been connected and sutured, but the wounds were still red and swollen, leaving bright red blood stains, which he couldn't bear to look at.

This was when he accidentally operated a shearing machine when he was 18 years old, causing three fingers in his right hand to be cut off.

Glancing away, his eyes shifted to the simple, narrow, dimly lit ward environment: cement floor, slightly gray walls and gray sheets, four simple wooden beds, and an old red thermos bottle next to the bed was particularly conspicuous. There was no air conditioning. There is no fan and noisy sounds come from the corridor from time to time.

There were two pale patients lying on the bed and three family members in the ward. Two of them were mechanically waving handmade bamboo fans and chatting about daily life to relieve their boredom.

The strong smell of medicine, pungent disinfectant, rotten acid and the sour smell of shoes mixed together to attack Fang Bai's sense of smell.

At the same time, the nerve endings at the wound continued to send tingling signals to his brain, making him bared his teeth and trembled.

He suddenly realized that this was not a dream!

Definitely not a dream!

"I'm dripping with numbness, how could this happen?"

This is exactly what happened after the surgery, and there was no pain at all after waking up from the dream.

The room in front of him was too familiar, Room 303, Dongzhou People's Hospital, where he once spent the most difficult two weeks of his life.

In the first few nights after the operation, the pain in his fingers kept hitting the nerves in his brain, making it difficult for him to sleep. This memory has penetrated deep into his bone marrow.

I remember that during that time, confusion, numbness, regret, sadness, and various complex emotions filled his heart.

After a while, Fang Bai figured out the situation.

He is reborn!

But, how did he get reborn from 2023 and return to 1990?

If so, no matter if he is reborn, even if three fingers are seriously injured, he can at least save his wife and daughter.

In those years, whenever he recalled holding the cold bodies of his wife and daughter as they left, he was like a helpless baby, wanting to cry without tears, and in pain!

He has never been so eager to be reborn!

I hope God will give him another chance to make up for his regrets.

But, I didn’t expect to be reborn!

Fang Bai's body was shaking with excitement, and he burst into tears.

At this time, the door creaked, and a thin middle-aged woman walked in. She was about 160 centimeters tall, dressed simply, with a bunch of long, yellow hair, and a bag of apples in her hand. Her face was yellow and rough. With a sad face, there is no luster.

The first thing the woman saw when she entered the door was Fang Bai. She walked to his bedside, put the fruit on the iron cabinet, and said gently: "Son, mom bought you an apple. The doctor said that vitamin supplements will help your recovery."

She sighed and noticed the tears in Fang Bai's eyes, and couldn't help but wipe them away for him. She was most afraid that her child would not be able to let go.

This family was already living a difficult life, and now it was even worse. She knew that her son was in trouble at this time, and she had to be strong.

After thinking about it for a moment, he continued nagging: "Hey, don't think too much about the past. There is still a long way to go in the future."

"Mom, I'm fine. My right hand can't do physical work. I still have my left hand, which can be used for other things." Fang Bai tried his best to smile.

His home is in a rural area near Yongjia County, Wencheng. There are nine mountains, half water and half farmland, and the actual per capita cultivated land is less than three-thirds of the land.

Therefore, they can only go to the city to do some odd jobs to make ends meet, usually working in shoe factories, valve factories, button factories, and foundries.

A few years ago, the private sector had just opened up, and jobs could still be found. It would have been nice if it had been a few years earlier and we had not starved to death.

"Well, while you have just finished the college entrance examination for two or three months, why not repeat another year to go to college? Maybe if you work hard, you can get into the undergraduate program, and you don't have to worry about money."

"Mom, I will think about it carefully." Fang Bai nodded.

It is very difficult to get admitted to the undergraduate program in this era. His college entrance examination score is still 40 points behind the second-level score, which is far from bad.

I didn’t get a bachelor’s degree. Considering my family’s poor financial situation, I didn’t even want to go to college. I wanted to earn money to support my family as soon as possible.

After taking the college entrance examination, he planned to work in a factory. On the one hand, he wanted to accumulate funds, and on the other hand, he wanted to familiarize himself with various processes in large factories so that he could work alone in the future.

Here in Wencheng, if you are poor, you will want to find a way out, so there are many large and small workshops. Even if you only have a small lathe or even no equipment, you can become a small boss.

Fang Bai worked as an apprentice in a machinery factory. When operating a shearing machine, he accidentally cut off his finger.

At that time, he was so heartbroken that he fell to the ground in pain. He covered his right hand with his left hand and felt that the sky was falling. He roared in pain, and the entire workshop workers were shocked.

Finally, he picked up the severed finger by himself and went to the hospital accompanied by his old master.

Except for the old master, no one else, including the boss, the human resources department and other workers, had ever visited him in the hospital.

According to the situation in the previous life, the factory owner did not bear the responsibility for medical expenses and hospitalization expenses. He believed that Fang Bai was responsible for not complying with the equipment operating regulations, and he was not a regular employee. The boss did not even want to settle his salary, and even called him a " "Unlucky guy"!

At that time, Fang Bai and his family did not understand the law, and at that time, there was no labor arbitration compensation mechanism.

This kind of accident often happens in machinery factories. Most bosses only care about profits. Now if they are asked to pay compensation, they will definitely not be happy. Don't even think about it!

In this life, Fang Bai doesn't want to let it go!

The money his parents finally saved was used to pay for his medical and hospitalization expenses, not to mention that the family also had a younger sister who was in junior high school to take care of.

"Then think about it carefully and I'll peel an apple for you."

Seeing that he was silent for a while, his mother took out the keys strung with hemp rope from her pocket, took out the knife, wiped it on her clothes, and then picked up an apple and started peeling it.

Her knuckles were covered with calluses, engraved with the traces of time, and a thin layer of peel rolled into circles and fell into the garbage shovel. All this made Fang Bai feel very sad in his eyes.

After peeling the apple, he handed it to Fang Bai. Fang Bai took it with his left hand and said, "Mom, you can peel one yourself and eat it."

"Mom tasted it when she bought it."

Fang Bai was startled for a moment. His mother was reluctant to eat, and it was useless to persuade him. He sighed inwardly, suppressing his tears from flowing down, and took a bite of the apple unsatisfactorily.

Apples are not cheap these days. Six or seven kilograms may be equivalent to a person's daily income, and rural families are not willing to spend money to buy them.

The conversation between mother and son was heard by everyone in the same ward. One of them, an old woman about 70 years old, muttered: "It's so pitiful. My fingers were broken at such a young age. It will be difficult to find food in the future, and it will be difficult to find a wife." "

Fang Bai's mother was a little unhappy when she heard the Ou dialect spoken by the old woman: "You don't have to rely on manual labor to make money. You can also rely on education to study well. In the future, you will also want to be an educated wife."

"Then you have to go to a good university. Didn't the young man fail to get into university?"

"My son's grades are not bad to begin with. He can repeat his studies and go to a better university."

"It's difficult to get into college even if you repeat your studies now. It's not easy to marry an educated wife, and the bride price is quite a lot."

Fang Bai winked at his mother, signaling her not to continue arguing with the old woman. The old woman was too boring and would chatter endlessly, wishing that someone would argue with her.

If you can't fight again and again, and you are afraid that the other party will act wild and aggressive and lie on the ground to get into trouble, isn't it just asking for trouble?

Just as the old woman finished speaking, a little girl about 167 years old walked in, with two pigtails, about seventeen or eighteen years old.

She wore a literary khaki plaid half-length skirt, revealing a small section of white and smooth heels, white sneakers, and a pure white T-shirt on her upper body tied into the skirt, showing a slender and elastic waist, and making the front round. , slightly blocking the line of sight looking down.

At this time, her delicate face was full of panic, her snow-white forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and a stream of sweat flowed down her left cheek and flowed directly into her white and tender neck.

Seeing Fang Bai lying on the hospital bed, Lihua lay on Fang Bai with rain and started crying.

"Fang Bai, wuwu, I finally waited until I came back from the National Day holiday and went to your factory to wait for you to get off work. I heard from your colleagues that you had an accident and were sent to the hospital. I thought you were dead, which scared me to tears.

I searched several wards before I found you. Where were you injured? "

"Stupid, it's nothing serious. It's already fine." Fang Bai felt her violently trembling body, like a helpless flower swaying in the storm.

His left hand caressed her little face full of tears, and the tears fell on the back of his hand, reflecting her clear and bright eyes.

Seeing this look, Fang Bai's eyes were full of tenderness and distress. He knew that Qin Shuyu rarely took the initiative to communicate with others unless he had to.

The two met because they were in the same class of high school. Qin Shuyu was a little afraid of society at first. After half a year, she didn't take the initiative to chat with Fang Bai, let alone other boys. She seemed a bit aloof. Fang Bai asked her only Will respond with "um" and "oh".

Fang Bai had a more jumpy personality and helped her fend off many suitors. His love letters were also confiscated by him carelessly, and his own grades were also affected to some extent.

Qin Shuyu felt a little sorry to see Fang Bai's grades drop, so she helped Fang Bai solve problems in the first semester of high school. At first, she only wrote and did not talk. Later, she talked more as she communicated more.

But when it comes to other boys, she still has that cold expression that rejects people thousands of miles away, and she has lost most of her suitors. Even girls are reluctant to communicate with her.

After the liberal arts and sciences were divided into classes in the second year of high school, they were still in the same class. There were no men and women sitting at the same table, but they were still in front of each other until they graduated from high school.

Qin Shuyu didn't know what love was, and she never thought about it. During the holidays, she felt a little lonely after not seeing Fang Bai for a few days.

During the winter vacation of the senior year of high school, the two of them accidentally bumped into each other when they were shopping. Fang Bai joked that the relationship between husband and wife would be settled after they bumped into each other. Unexpectedly, Qin Shuyu, who had no knowledge about love, took it seriously, and the two made nonsense of their relationship. , it’s just that neither the parents nor the school know about it.

Fang Bai also called her "idiot" because of this, and Qin Shuyu felt that it sounded intimate.

Now, when Qin Shuyu heard Fang Bai calling her like this, she felt relieved and stopped crying. Then she paid attention to the women next to her and the people in the ward. She felt a little embarrassed and quickly wiped away her tears.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows the relationship between this beautiful girl and Fang Bai. The old woman who had just exchanged words with Fang Bai's mother did not like other people's kindness. She said coldly and bitterly: "It's not a trivial matter to have three fingers cut off. I can’t do heavy work anymore.”

Fang Bai's mother Liu Fengqing glared at the evil old woman, trying to destroy her son's good deeds, but there was no way!

But it was also the first time she saw her son and a girl so close. She looked carefully and saw that her clothes were clean and tidy. The upper part was a little bigger, so she didn’t have to worry about the baby’s milk powder. The back part was a little smaller, but she was passable. Is this really her son’s girlfriend?

I'll have to ask carefully later.

Qin Shuyu was frightened when she saw the wound on Fang Bai's right hand. She was so distressed that she cried again: "You said it was okay, but your fingers are broken. It must be very painful, right?"

"There is still a little."

Fang Bai comforted her and wiped her tears, "It's really okay. It's been connected. Don't worry. It's just that there is a real possibility that I won't be able to do heavy work in the future."

Unexpectedly, Qin Shuyu said solemnly: "Fang Bai, it will get better, even if you can't do heavy work, it will be okay. When I graduate from college and start working, I will support you."

"Then I will stay with rich women from now on, and I will graduate from a famous school, haha."

Fang Bai joked that Qin Shuyu had very good grades and was admitted to the accounting major of Shanghai University of Finance and Economics. All the alumni of this awesome accounting major were "stepping on sewing machines."

When the old woman next to her heard this, she had an old face. Her son was almost 35 years old and still hadn't found a wife. How could a poor and disabled man find such a charming partner?

And why is there such a stupid girl? She is still a college student. She is reading stupidly, which makes her feel a little uncomfortable.

Her husband with a broken bone told her that the water was out and he wanted to drink water. She immediately turned on the fighting mode like a big cock with bristles and yelled at her husband: "My head is full of water, why should I drink!"

The entire ward was frightened by her and looked at her.

The old woman snorted, picked up the hot water bottle, turned around and left the ward quickly.

After the old woman left, Fang Bai saw his mother's impatient and probing eyes, and casually said, "Mom, this is my high school classmate Qin Shuyu."

Liu Fengqing glared at him, thinking she was stupid for being a high school classmate.

"Hello Auntie!"

Qin Shuyu was a little reserved, but still greeted Fang Bai's mother in a general way.

The eyes under the thick eyelashes are as bright as water. Even in the dim light, they are still as bright as pearls. They are quiet and well-behaved. This alone conquered Liu Fengqing: Where did this boy find a little girl? She looks as good as his father. All very good.

"Hey, hello Xiaoyu, you look so beautiful.

Hey, it’s just that my Fang Bai is quite unlucky. "

Liu Fengqing was naturally interested in her son. After finally finding a cheap wife, she would not push her away casually.

Seeing the old woman who was angry and leaving the ward again, Liu Fengqing was very satisfied. Who said that his son could not find a wife? This one in front of him is not only beautiful, but also beautiful.

"Auntie, forget it. I don't care, as long as Fang Bai figures it out." Qin Shuyu comforted, while looking at Fang Bai tenderly.

She's just afraid of communication, but that doesn't mean she has a low IQ, or that she can't say nice things.

After listening to Qin Shuyu's words, Fang Bai also thought of his father-in-law's house and felt a little guilty.

His father-in-law opened a small mechanical workshop. The main equipment included a second-hand CA6140 ordinary lathe and a second-hand Z3032 rocking wall vertical drill, specializing in OEM processing.

In this day and age, a small workshop with equipment worth tens of thousands of dollars is truly remarkable.

It's just that his father-in-law was used to waiting for orders to come to his door, so he didn't expand quickly.

Fang Bai couldn't do hard work after being injured in his previous life, so he started working as a second-level dealer in industrial valves. He worked hard for more than two years before getting better. Then he helped his father-in-law do a lot of work, and the two drank and became brothers.

Until one day while drinking, Fang Bai let slip that his father-in-law found out that his daughter had been abducted by him. He chased him for three streets with a bottle of wine, cursing, "Little bastard, I am making money with you as my brother, and in the end you want to take advantage of me." Girlfriends are cheap!

Don't run away, little bastard! "

In fact, his father-in-law didn't look down on him. Fang Bai was still very capable in running business, but he definitely didn't want his daughter who had gone to college to marry a man who had broken off his fingers and had never gone to college.

Later, he couldn't resist his daughter's tough attitude, so he had to give up.

After the two got married, his father-in-law asked Fang Bai to continue to expand the small workshop with him, with him in charge of the inside and Fang Bai in charge of the outside.

His father-in-law only had a daughter and a young son a few years ago, but he drowned and later did not dare to have another child. After all, he was a miserable man.

After Fang Bai and his father-in-law formed a partnership, the small workshop did very well. Although they did not have their own brand or technology, the market demand was huge and large manufacturers could not fill in all the orders. Therefore, just by doing OEM work for large manufacturers, they could make a profit within a few years. He quickly opened a processing plant with thirty or forty employees, bought a small car, and became a rich man in the late 20s.

However, Fang Bai's daughter died unexpectedly and took away his wife. The double blow caused the family to collapse instantly. Both of them were immersed in grief and had no intention of running a career.

The processing plant slowly declined, and when Fang Bai woke up again a few years later, he had missed the best opportunity for development.

In fact, after experiencing the loss of a loved one, money is really not very important to them and has no more meaning!

When Fang Bai returned to his original life, his pursuit of money was actually not strong. It was enough that the two families could live happily and stably.

However, judging from his current poverty situation, it is definitely not possible. He will marry Qin Shuyu in the future so that his children can have a better living environment. The unforgettable pain will definitely not let it happen, absolutely not!

Fang Bai was lying on the bed reminiscing about his past life. During this period, a nurse came in to disinfect and change his dressing.

Qin Shuyu was exhausted physically and mentally. She took the stool, tightened her skirt with her legs, and then lay down beside his bed to rest for a while. When she woke up, she was afraid that Fang Bai would be bored, so she went outside the hospital to buy some things.

More than ten minutes later, Fang Bai saw the swinging skirt at the door and knew that Qin Shuyu was back. She was holding a bag of fruit and two newspapers in her hands.

Liu Fengqing quickly took the fruit and said with a smile that Xiaoyu was too polite. Qin Shuyu said it was nothing. The patients and family members in the room felt that Qin Shuyu was a sensible girl.

Fang Bai saw the newspaper and was trying to learn about the current news through the newspaper.

After taking the newspaper, a virtual screen suddenly popped up in front of his eyes, which startled him. He thought he was dazzled by excessive blood loss.

【Fangbai】

【Age: 18 years old】

[Index finger: LV1, any books touched by the right hand will double the learning, memory and understanding abilities]

[Middle finger: LV1, any machine and equipment touched by the right hand can be analyzed for faults]

[Ring finger: LV1, shaking hands with others, you can know the information of the other party in the past day and current inner thoughts, limited to one person per day]

[Tip: LV1, finger recovery is 20%, and recovery increases by 10% for each level. Do you want to use this function? 】

After reading the content on the screen, Fang Bai was really sure that he was no longer dazzled.

In later years, he had read a lot of novels and was more adaptable to such new things. He had a golden finger!

Moreover, there are still three golden fingers!

Oh my god!

Using the recovery function silently, I felt a sense of comfort in my middle three fingers, and there was no tingling anymore!

Moreover, you can move it a little bit, but that's it. After all, you just had the surgery.

However, Fang Bai saw hope!

As long as he upgrades to LV8, his fingers will be fully recovered!

The surprise fell from the sky and a smile appeared on his face.

Qin Shuyu saw Fang Bai smiling and asked curiously: "Why are you laughing?"

"Uh, it's okay. If you're tired, you need to take a rest. I'll read the newspaper again."

Fang Bai saw Qin Shuyu looking over, but he didn't notice the virtual screen in front of him. It seemed that he could only see it.

Qin Shuyu said "hmm" and lay down next to his bed, planning to squint for a while longer. She took the train from Shanghai for more than ten hours before returning to Wencheng. She just arrived this morning and went to look for her before she had a good rest. Fang Bai, who knew that this incident would make her physically and mentally exhausted.

Fang Bai's mother didn't want to disturb the young man's good things, so she left the ward and went out for a walk.

Fang Bai gently touched Qin Shuyu's shoulder with his left hand, not caring about the eyes of others in the ward.

Qin Shuyu twisted closer to him and felt relieved when she felt Fang Bai's hand on her body, and fell asleep again after a while.

Fang Bai continued to operate the virtual screen, chanted silently, and the screen turned off;

After reciting it silently, it opened again, which was so convenient.

The system doesn't beep, and there is a lack of interaction.

Open the upgrade request silently, and it will soon appear on the virtual screen.

【食指升级方式：考上普通本科+LV1，重点大学本科+LV2，考上重点大学研究生+LV1，考上顶尖大学研究生毕业+LV2、博士毕业+LV2、获得学术荣誉+LV0.01-LV1】

[Current education: high school graduate]

[How to upgrade the middle finger: personal wealth of 10 yuan can be upgraded to LV2, and every ten-fold increase can be upgraded to one level]

[Current wealth: 2.13 yuan]

【无名指升级方式：升级到LV2要求人脉数量为20，人脉数量每递增两倍升一级。普通人脉+1、精英人脉+2、顶尖人脉+3】

[Current number of connections: 0]

Fang Bai quickly understood that this upgrade method was crude, intuitive, and felt quite reasonable.

With such a request, the system wants him to become a top academic and technological talent, and at the same time, he can accumulate huge wealth by doing business. It would be a waste of this golden finger to lie flat.

At the same time, it puts forward higher requirements for one's own network. It is not just about knowing each other, but also being familiar with the other party's situation. Only when the two parties have a certain cooperative relationship, or can they help themselves when they need the other party, can they be regarded as contacts.

A successful businessman definitely needs network resources in various fields, establish cooperative relationships, share resources and experience, and jointly promote business development, otherwise it will be difficult to grow the business.

The business world is also a human circle.

After reading these functions, Fang Bai probably understands the way forward.
