Rebirth 1981 starts with saving the sisters from the neighboring village.

Go down the slope and take the village road. Within a few hundred meters, you arrive under the big magnolia tree at the entrance of the village.

Peng Liyang was smoking a pot on a tree. When he saw the three people arriving, he took the lead and left.

On the rural road, there is a crossroads.

To the east is the road leading to Shangchuan Commune, to the south is Zhouzhuang, and to the west is Dazhu Village.

The rural road was easier to walk, and under the moonlight, the road could be vaguely distinguished.

A few people hurried on without talking.

After crossing two mountains, we came to Fangji Village at the foot of the mountain. Fangji is a large village where children from all over the country come here to attend primary school.

Peng Wanhua and his two sisters once went to primary school here, and now the fourth and fifth children also study here.

He and his father sent the fourth and fifth children into the classroom.

The physical facilities of primary schools in this era are very poor.

The playground is a slightly flat mud floor, the house has adobe walls, and the roof is thatched. Only the base of the wall is made of one-meter-high bluestone slabs, which will not easily collapse in rainy days.

In the classroom, several rows of long wooden boards set up on mounds serve as tables. Because they have been in disrepair for many years, the boards are uneven and have to be padded when writing.

The school does not provide chairs. They all bring small stools from home and take them home during the holidays.

The door cannot be closed in the winter because there is no electricity, so it will be dark and invisible.

The cold wind blew in, and I relied on shivering to stay warm.

There is no fan in summer, so cooling relies entirely on calmness and natural cooling.

In one word, poor. Two words, poverty.

Peng Wanhua sighed. He knew that with the reform and opening up, people's lives would get better and better.

But seeing this scene, I still feel uncomfortable.

He can't wait to make a lot of money now.

While his father was going to the teacher's office, Peng Wanhua gave the fourth child a dime and said, "Take it, half for each of you and the fifth child. Although you are the same age as the fifth child, she is your younger sister, and you will protect her at school." Do you know what Dian Lao Wu is?"

The fourth child received the dime with joy and nodded: "I know, I will beat up whoever wants to bully her!"

Peng Wanhua nodded, touched Lao Wu's head, and said to the two of them: "Study hard, and pay more attention to Lao Liu after school. Don't let him play crazy, teach him to read a few more words, and beat him if he doesn't obey." .”

"I got it." The fourth and fifth children said simply.

Eating, sleeping, and learning to play Lao Liu are all familiar, but from today on, I have one more reason.

After a few words of encouragement, Peng Wanhua turned and left, heading towards the teacher's office, where he met Peng Liyang head-on.

"Let's go."

Peng Liyang waved his hand and walked out of the school gate with his head down.

Peng Wanhua quickly followed.

After walking for more than an hour, a large lake appeared in front of us, and the commune was approaching.

A faint aroma of wine floated into Peng Wanhua's nostrils, coming from the commune winery on the roadside.

He couldn't help but take a long breath and swallowed. The greedy man in his stomach for decades had already started to move.

When we arrived at the factory gate, one of my father’s colleagues had just arrived.

Dad Peng Liyang said hello to the other party, and then said to Peng Wanhua: "This is the cashier of the winery, my name is Uncle Zhou."

"Good morning, Uncle Zhou."

Peng Wanhua shouted.

Looking at Uncle Zhou's face, Peng Wanhua suddenly felt a little familiar.

When I thought about it carefully, I couldn't remember where I had seen it before. I always felt that there was something important related to it.

Uncle Zhou responded and said to Peng Liyang: "Your son is very handsome, but his beard grows a little impatiently."

Peng Liyang smiled and said, "It's up to me!"

After chatting for a while, Uncle Zhou went in first.

Peng Liyang turned to his eldest son and opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but looking at his eldest son's broad shoulders, he swallowed the words he had been brewing for a long time.

He just said: "Concentrate on studying, and I will take care of everything at home."

Then he turned around and entered the factory.

Dad Peng Liyang is an honest man who only knows how to work hard. He doesn't talk much, he can even be said to be taciturn, but he is very reliable and is the backbone of the family.

Peng Wanhua watched his slightly hunched back enter the door, his eyes aching slightly.

The faded wooden plaque on the winery’s gate reads Shangchuan Commune Qinghu Winery.

Looking at the small winery, Peng Wanhua sighed.

This small winery with dozens of people simply cannot survive this year and will be restructured.

Thinking that in his previous life, the handle of the Shanghai and Shenzhen stocks was a certain Taiwan and a certain liquid, and there were countless other wineries with a market value of hundreds of billions, he suddenly felt the urge to rush in and have a big fight.

But when I think about it, this small winery has no brand and no background funds. If nothing else happens, the winery will survive for a few years after being restructured and then completely go into disrepair. It will feel like a dog biting a hedgehog and there is nowhere to start.

But even if he can't save the winery, he doesn't have to worry too much for the time being.

According to historical experience, my father would pick up his grandfather and work in the forest farm. Although the salary will be lower, you will still have some income.

When he was young, my grandfather tore up Japanese soldiers and also played clubs. Later, he retired from the army. Because he couldn't take any time off, he went to work as a forest ranger in a commune forest farm.

However, it is not easy for my father to become a forest ranger. The salary is too low and it is difficult to support a large family.

Peng Wanhua thought for a while. If he wanted to make a lot of money, he had to find a way to revitalize the winery.

When the liquor market picks up, the money will be unlimited.

With so many thoughts on his mind, he walked towards the commune streets again.

Suddenly, he saw the back of a young man with two braids. Even after decades, he could recognize that back.

Although the girl's clothes are not fashionable, her clothes are clean, her waist is slender, her legs are straight, and her laughter is clear and light.

Even if you only see part of her profile, you can tell that she must be an extremely handsome girl.

This is his wife from his previous life, Jiang Xue.

She was chatting and laughing with two classmates and walked towards the gate of the commune junior high school.

Peng Wanhua was stunned and stood there, looking at her intently.

Originally, he made up his mind to never interact with her again and stay away from her.

But the world is so small.

Now there is only a road between them.

greet?

He has no courage.

A few words?

The two don't know each other yet.

Suddenly, he felt a little irritable and wanted to smoke a cigarette.

"Jiang Xue, that person has been looking at you, do you recognize him?"

A girl with shoulder-length hair looked at Peng Wanhua for a long time and asked in a low voice.

Jiang Xue turned her head. She looked a bit like the young Hong Kong actress Zhou Huimin. Her face was full of collagen, white and tender. Although she was not old, she could tell that she was a complete beauty.

She glanced at Peng Wanhua and shook her head: "I don't know him."

Although the voice was very soft, Peng Wanhua still heard it clearly.

His heart suddenly tightened.

"Then let's enter the school quickly. That man is unshaven and doesn't look like a good person." The short-haired girl dragged Jiang Xue and entered the school gate in three or two steps.

Looking at the plaque of Shangchuan Middle School, this word is extremely familiar.

Peng Wanhua sighed, having originally made up his mind not to have anything to do with her anymore.

Seeing her now, her heart was a little messy, and it was still messy even if she couldn't sort it out.

Turn around and continue on your way.

There are only three buses to the county, one in the morning, one at noon, and one in the afternoon.

If he missed it, he would have to wait for the noon shift.

Fortunately, we caught up.

"Buy a ticket, it's only fifteen cents!"

The conductor was a big woman with a round waist. Once she stood at the door of the train, the passengers couldn't squeeze in even if they wanted to.

After buying a ticket and getting on the bus, the noisy bus was packed with passengers like a can of sardines, and the smell of old sweat and chicken shit assaulted my nostrils.

Peng Wanhua was so disgusted that he almost vomited out last night's meal.

He hurried to the window and took a few deep breaths like a fish starved of oxygen.

"Everyone, watch your belongings and be careful with your three hands!"

The uncle driver roared and started the car.

The road was bumpy and the smell in the car was unpleasant. Peng Wanhua could barely hold on with his face facing the car window.

When he was approaching the county, he saw large fonts painted on the roadside wall: 'It is illegal to rob a police car! ’

I couldn't help but smile bitterly. They all said that the 80s were very simple. How can we be so simple in this era?

Various criminal cases emerged one after another, and it took two years of severe crackdowns to wipe out the evil spirits and monsters in society.

After crossing the stone bridge, we entered Fengxian County. When we got off the bus, I felt like I was falling apart. I waited for a while before walking slowly towards Fengxian No. [-] Middle School.

By this time it was broad daylight.

Said to be a county town, there are only four crisscrossing roads that barely form a larger small city.

There are mostly bicycles and tricycles on the road, and not a car has been seen for a long time. Occasionally, a Jiefang will pass by, which can also arouse people's envious eyes.

Not only do I envy the car, but I also envy the driver in the car.

Truck drivers are a hot commodity in this era. They not only have high incomes, but are also decent.

In terms of income, a truck driver earns more than a two-income family!

It has the reputation of "turning the steering wheel even if it is given to the county magistrate".

When he arrived at school, Peng Wanhua went directly to the class.

The conditions of the high school are somewhat better. The classrooms are three rows of brick buildings.

There are about 300 students in the entire third grade of high school, occupying several classrooms in a row.

When he entered the classroom, everyone had not yet arrived. More than a dozen people were reading in the morning. When he came in, they were still concentrating on their studies, and no one greeted him.

On the cinder-covered playground outside the window, several classmates were running circles around the playground.

Peng Wanhua has a boring temperament and has few true friends in the class. His deskmate Cheng Lei is considered a better one.

Cheng Lei is from the county. His parents both work in the city. His mother works in the county department store and his father works at the flood control station.

Although the salary is not high, these two iron rice bowls are not much better than those in mountain villages.

Peng Wanhua once dreamed of buying a pair of the Jai Alai sneakers on Cheng Lei's feet.

But he has no money. A pair of jialai sneakers costs four yuan and ten cents. His monthly living expenses do not exceed four yuan, so no matter how much he saves, he can't save enough.

He only had one pair of cloth shoes, and he didn't even dare to run hard for fear of breaking them.

If he had to run for sports, he would take off his shoes first.

Cheng Lei ran in anxiously: "Lao Peng, copy your homework for me quickly!"

Cheng Lei is very playful and often doesn't do his homework. He often comes over early in the morning to copy his homework.

Peng Wanhua took out his notebook and threw it to him: "Leizi, copying homework is not a long-term solution. You can't copy it in the college entrance examination."

"Then who cares? If it weren't for my dad's request, I wouldn't want to study. Besides, I'm not good at studying." Cheng Lei said while copying his homework.

Peng Wanhua sighed and said nothing.

Even if a city dweller like Cheng Lei fails to get into college, he can still inherit his parents' position.

The same cannot be said for Peng Wanhua. His father has always been an unregistered temporary worker in the winery.

It can be said that he has no retreat at all.

If he fails to pass the exam, his life will be dizzying just thinking about it.
