Rebirth: 1977

Tang Qizheng frowned and looked at Yin Tianshui, and asked tentatively: "Xiao Shui, have you already made a decision? Life will be very difficult for the three of you in the city. Can you do it?"

"Uncle Tang, I am a man, how can I say no!"

Yin Tianshui brought a hint of self-mockery, which made Tang Qizheng burst into laughter and slap him on the head.

"You brat, what I said is true. We rural people leave their homes and go to the city to make a living. It's like duckweed without roots. It's not easy. Besides, you have to support two people. This matter must be carefully considered before making a decision."

"I see."

Yin Tianshui put away his playful smile and replied seriously: "I have found a house for a mother-in-law in the same ward. She is alone. The house at home happens to be empty. She is not in good health and needs someone to take care of her. We have agreed, my eldest sister By the way, we take care of her, and the house doesn’t charge us rent.

I'm going out to find a job. Don't worry, Uncle Tang, life won't be too difficult. "

Right now, Yin Tianshui must show weakness in front of Tang Qizheng and gain his sympathy and care.

There are many restrictions in this era. He must "accord with the weather" in doing things and secretly strengthen himself.

"Uncle Tang, I can only ask you for help with this matter. You can intercede with Captain Pan and ask the team to open a household registration certificate for us."

Even if you have a house but don't have a household registration, you will inevitably encounter some troubles living in the city.

He must be cautious.

"These are not problems. Our brigade does not have much land, and many people work in the factory. However, they must come back to work during busy farming periods. This is the brigade's rule.

Your eldest sister has to take care of Granny Pan. I can decide that she doesn't have to come back. You have to come back when the farming is busy, which is half a month. Any unit will give temporary workers and contract workers a busy leave. Don't make it difficult for me. "

Tang Qizheng solemnly asked Yin Tianshui.

"I promise to do this and I will never embarrass you."

Yin Tianshui readily agreed.

The year [-] was an important prelude to the quiet changes of this era. Everything was slowly permeating and changing like "drizzle moistening things".

Only Yin Tianshui, who has experienced the changes of this era, can deeply feel the details in newspaper news and TV.

Next year, reform and opening up will officially begin. Three years later, rural areas will be allocated farmland to each household. This country is about to usher in earth-shaking changes.

Before that, Yin Tianshui had a lot to do. He had to keep his tail between his legs and do things as a human being, instead of fighting against the current constraints.

When he arrived at the pig farm with two wild ducks, more than 20 eggs, and two baskets of steamed buns, Shi Junshan was picking up the pig grass.

"Hello, Uncle Shi."

"Xiao Shui? Are you home?"

Shi Junshan straightened up and looked at Yin Tianshui with a smile. There was a little sparkle in his eyes. His expression was much better than the last time Yin Tianshui saw him.

"Well, let's go home and get rice." He threw the two wild ducks that were quacking on the ground from his bicycle: "I caught them myself and will improve your food."

Putting the duck egg dumplings on the stove next to where the pig food was being roasted: "Uncle Shi, I see you are feeling much better."

"Don't worry, the village and the brigade are very concerned about our father and daughter now. Xiaoshui, we can't take your things anymore. Take them back. Your grandma and eldest sister also need nutrition."

"Dad, take it, I will pay it back later."

Shi Sisi was cooking in the shed where they lived. When she heard the sound, she ran out with a cooking spoon and cut off her father's words.

During this period, Shi Junshan's health was obviously getting better. Shi Sisi endured the shame in her heart and came out to see Yin Tianshui.

Shi Sisi could clearly distinguish between self-esteem and her father's health.

She blushed and lowered her eyes and thanked Yin Tianshui: "Yin Tianshui, thank you for lending us the food and other things. I will remember them every time. When I grow up and make money, I promise to pay you back."

Yin Tianshui glanced at Shi Sisi with a faint smile, and saw that she pursed her lips and lowered her head, not looking at him directly, and didn't care: "It doesn't matter if it's not yet, the most important thing is for your dad to take good care of himself."

"I will definitely pay it back!"

Shi Sisi replied firmly, turned around and left without looking back.

"Why is this kid becoming more and more rude?"

Shi Junshan moved a small stool for Yin Tianshui to sit down, with an embarrassed expression on his face: "Xiao Shui, Sisi girl is thin-skinned and feels embarrassed without your help. You don't want to be on the same level as her."

Yin Tianshui really didn't mind Shi Sisi's attitude towards him. He didn't have much contact with Shi Sisi. He searched the past in his mind, and the two of them had never had any conflicts.

After meeting her just now, I remembered her appearance in her previous life. Her face was beginning to grow, her eyebrows were elegant, and her youthfulness had not faded away.

After all, she is from the capital. Even though she has been rolling around in the dirt and mud in the countryside for seven years, her temperament is clear and very different from that of rural girls.

She is a beautiful woman. After eating well and improving her life, her beauty will definitely show off. No wonder she is targeted by Wang Minyong.

"It's almost time to eat, please stay and eat something with us."

Shi Junshan asked Yin Tianshui to stay.

"You're welcome. I'll pack a bag of rice when I get home. Please take care of yourself. If you have any difficulties or needs, you can tell Director Tang directly and he will help you."

Yin Tianshui stood up and gave Shi Junshan a heads up.

He once told Tang Qizheng about Shi Junshan's situation. Tang Qizheng was a smart man and he could see the outside situation more clearly than many people.

Moreover, many of his demobilized comrades were in leadership positions and would exchange information with each other. They promised Yin Tianshui that he would send food and some financial subsidies to Shi Junshan.

"People like them are temporarily trapped in the shallows. They are not living on the same level as us, and I'm afraid they won't be able to stay here for long.

I hope that I can send them all away, so that we will never meet again in the future, so I can have peace of mind. "

Yin Tianshui felt that Tang Qizheng was very sensitive to politics. What was commendable was that he maintained an upright heart in an era when it was difficult to distinguish between humans and animals.

Shi Junshan looked at Yin Tianshui who was walking away, his eyes were deep and gleaming, then he became calm again.

Sitting at the dinner table, he asked his daughter in a gentle tone: "Sisi, you and Xiaoshui grew up together and had a good relationship before. Why did you become cold and distant from him when he started helping us?"

Shi Sisi's hand that was about to pick up the scrambled eggs paused, and she slowly picked up the rice in the bowl, her eyes slightly red.

"You are all young people and should have a common discourse. Xiaoshui has changed a lot now. More contact will help you improve."

Shi Junshan is good at tempting.

"Dad, can we still go back to the capital? Are we just going to live such a miserable life here for the rest of our lives?"

Shi Sisi looked at her father expectantly, with grievance in her eyes.

Shi Junshan was silent, he couldn't answer this question.

"Yin Tianshui helped us, and I'm grateful to him, but I don't like to see him being so arrogant now.

Isn't it just relying on the money given by the Feng family to break off the engagement? It’s embarrassing for a man to take this kind of money and spend it lavishly. It’s so spineless! "

"Sisi, you actually look at Xiao Shui like this? I'm so disappointed in Dad!"

Shi Junshan's face turned serious: "Dad doesn't ask you to 'repay every drop of water with a spring of kindness', but it's really inappropriate for you to misrepresent Yin Tianshui's good intentions in this way!"

What he gave was more than just a little rice. Without his helping hand, your dad might not have been able to survive. ’”

Shi Junshan's voice deepened, and his body knew that it was Yin Tianshui's words that rekindled hope in his heart.

"dad······"

Shi Sisi's eyes turned red.

"Sigh... No matter what, when I see Xiaoshui in the future, I can't keep a straight face like he owes you something.

Some favors cannot be repaid with money.

I don’t blame you for being young and ignorant, but you must understand these principles!

That child Xiaoshui will definitely have a great future, and he deserves the compensation from the Feng family. It has nothing to do with whether he has any integrity or not. "

Shi Junshan sighed. After all, he couldn't bear to blame this little girl who followed him here and suffered all the hardships with him.
