Back To The Age Of The '80s

People from the production team left in twos and threes, because the thin man gave the old hen first, and the rest of the people felt uncomfortable and more or less sent things over.Although they are all worthless firewood, rice, oil and salt, for the Li family who have lost their labor force and are sitting on the mountain, it is a solution to their urgent needs.

"Why do you want to take their things? They are the bad guys who came to rob our ship!" Zhou Sitian silently followed Li Zheng back to the room. Seeing Li Zheng counting the things sent by everyone with great interest, she couldn't help but speak. road.

Li Zheng paused, looked up at the stubborn Zhou Sitian, and suddenly asked, "Can you go fishing?"

Zhou Sitian was startled, and then blushed. Like all fishermen who live by the sea, Qinghe Town has a tradition that women are not allowed on fishing boats since ancient times.How could she go to sea!

Li Zheng got the answer from Zhou Sitian's expression, he shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Me neither."

Li Zheng never thought of leaving the boat behind.Neither he nor Zhou Sitian knew how to fish, and the fishing boat was just a waste in their hands.And he understands very well that although most people in the town are on their side today, they are just sympathizing with Li Zheng who lost his father when he was young. People are always willing to lend a hand to those weak things to show their strength and superiority.

However, sympathy is temporary, but benefits are eternal.Although Qinghe Town in [-] broke away from the era of big pot meals, the production team had not been disbanded. The production team organized the fishing boats in the town to go fishing. The fishing boats harvested half of the seafood in a day. Part of it is distributed to each household by the production team according to labor points, which is a transitional stage from big pot meal to distribution according to work.

As Yang Sheng, the thin middle-aged man, said just now, now is the season when the sea goods are fat, and all the boats in the town are operating at full capacity. All moved back.

Although Li's father's boat is privately owned by the Li family, people who have just come out of the big pot meal era don't think so. They only know that if the Li family's boat goes to sea, half of the seafood they get will be handed over to the company.In other words, if Li's boat does not go to sea for a day, Gongzhong's inventory will be reduced by one.

Because Li Qiang had just had an accident, the people in the town would not say anything for a day or two. If the days were too long... Li Zheng didn't want to test the humanity of the 80s at all.

Therefore, the ship must be handed over.However, who to hand over to and how to hand it over is something to be particular about.

"Xiaozheng, you said that you saw your father, is it true?" Zhou Sitian looked at Li Zheng, and felt that after this illness, she couldn't understand her younger brother more and more.But to her, father Li's matter is the most important thing.

Although Zhou Sitian was brought here by Li's mother, Li Qiang is a loyal person and treats him like his own daughter. The relationship between Zhou Sitian and Li Qiang is much better than that with Li's mother.

Li Zheng raised his head to look at Zhou Sitian, who was showing a tense and hopeful expression, and there was a flash of warmth in his eyes, she was really a cute little girl.He didn't realize how incongruous it was that there was a kind smile on his childish face.

"I see." He said without blushing and panting.

"Dad, what else did he say!" Zhou Sitian hurriedly asked.

"He told us to take care of ourselves, and said that whether it's a boat or something else, it's something outside of us, so don't take it too seriously."

Zhou Sitian was taken aback, then nodded, yes, this sounds like something my father would say.At this point, the last trace of her dissatisfaction with Li Zheng dissipated.If you want to hand over the boat, just hand it over, Xiaozheng is Dad's most precious relic.Thinking of this, Zhou Sitian couldn't help but soften his eyes when he looked at Li Zheng.

Li Zheng didn't know the psychological changes of his step-sister.He wondered why their family did not have any relatives who came forward after such a big incident. It stands to reason that the clan concept of the 80s is still relatively heavy, not to mention that their family has a boat, which can be regarded as a big fortune in this era. riches.

"Xiaozheng, you're in better shape. Don't go to the ancestral hall at night. I'll watch over my father." Although the two of them didn't think their father was dead, the adults in the town said with certainty that he died at sea. Without a funeral or burial, one cannot be reborn.

Therefore, Zhou Sitian put Li Qiang's old clothes in the coffin and stayed in the ancestral hall, waiting for the burial at the chosen time after the first seven days.

Li Zheng shook his head, "I'll go." Occupying someone's son's body, he deserves two kowtows.Before Zhou Sitian could refuse, he had already put on his coat and walked out.

The autumn night came very early. It was only four or five o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun had disappeared. A small town in the 80s was not as brightly lit as a city, and the number of street lights in the entire town could be counted with a single palm.The two siblings walked on the only cement road in the small town one after the other, listening to the "jingling" sound of bicycle bells one after another, and fell silent.

The ancestral hall is brightly lit, but when one steps through the high threshold, the poorly furnished mourning hall is terribly lonely.A woman in a brown top and black trousers was squatting on the ground folding paper money.

"Mom, I brought you food." A young man's bluffing voice came from outside the ancestral hall, and the bicycle leaned against the big tree at the entrance of the ancestral hall. A young man about Zhou Sitian's age led Several iron boxes ran in.

Seeing Li Zheng and Zhou Sitian, he had a bright smile on his face, "Li Zheng, can you go?"

Before Li Zheng could answer, the brown-clothed woman straightened up and gave the young man a hard look, "What do you mean, Xiao Zheng just has a fever, and it will be fine when the fever subsides."

After reprimanding the young man, she turned her head and looked at Li Zheng kindly, "Since you're here, kowtow to your father, this is the last day."

Li Zheng could see intolerance and sympathy in her eyes, he nodded, and without asking who this woman was, he walked quickly to the futon, knelt down, and kowtowed three times.

The cold slate touched his forehead, and a chill spread from his forehead to his entire brain.Li Zheng's eyes slowly turned from bewilderment to firmness. Uncle, I am very grateful to your son for giving me a chance to be reborn. I promise that I will not waste this life. I promise that the name "Li Zheng" will become all of his relatives. Even the pride of all Chinese people.

The blue smoke on the incense table spun around, slowly rose to the top of the roof, and then slowly disappeared in the dim light.

"Mom, I heard on the way that for Uncle Li's boat, Yang Sheng brought people from the production team to Li's house!" The young man pulled the woman aside and whispered, but the ancestral hall was too quiet, so even Their voices were already very low, and Li Zheng could hear them clearly.

The woman opened her round eyes, and a trace of anger flashed in her eyes.

"These damned people, seeing your father is not here, actually came to the door. No, I have to talk to your father when I go back at night."

"That's right, Dad is the captain of the production team, and he, Yang Sheng, is jumping up and down there all day long."

"Shut up, you can say that!"

Li Zheng rolled his eyes.He stood up and silently did it on the small bench, folding paper money one by one.Zhou Sitian was obviously more externalized, kneeling in front of the futon, sobbing so much that she babbled about the past few days.

Li Zheng really thanked Zhou Sitian for his talkative nature, some things don't need to be asked at all, Zhou Sitian will "blah blah" tell them all.

For example, Li's father is not an aborigine in the town, so he has no relatives in the town.Another example is that Li's father was the captain of the production team when he was young, but he quit the production team for some reason.Also, Li's mother is not an ordinary woman. Her father was a high-ranking official in the capital, and the whole family was sent to Qinghe Town, so she married Li's father. Later, before her grandfather was rehabilitated, she really couldn't bear the life in the countryside. , followed the black boat and ran to Xiangjiang.

Yes, Qinghe Town is a part of the future Shenzhen City, facing the Asian financial center Xiangjiang across the sea. If the weather is good, you can also see the revolving restaurant on the top floor of the Xiangjiang Building on the hillside to the north of the town.

Li Zheng and Zhou Sitian stayed in the ancestral hall until nine o'clock in the evening, when Zheng's mother drove them back, saying that the child was weak and that tomorrow would be the day of burial, so they should hurry back to rest.

With the help of Zheng's family, the burial of Li's father went smoothly. Two days later, Li Zheng could see that the expressions of the townspeople had gradually changed from sympathy to hesitation when they saw him. I know... the matter of the boat cannot be dragged on.

So on the second night after Li's father was buried, Li Zheng brought Zhou Sitian to Zheng's house.Zheng Jianguo is the current captain of the production team in Qinghe Town, and his captain was supported by Li's father. It is precisely because of this that Li's father had a rift with Yang Sheng, who was the deputy captain of the production team at the time.

When they arrived, Zheng's family had just finished dinner, and Zheng's mother was cleaning up the dishes. When she saw Li Zheng and Li Zheng, she immediately showed a big smile on her face.

"Xiaozheng is here. This kid came here. What else do you bring? Auntie won't know about your family's situation! Take it all back!" Seeing that Zhou Sitian was about to hand over the basket in her hand, Zheng's mother hurriedly refused. .

Zhou Sitian couldn't help looking at Li Zheng, Li Zheng took the basket from his sister with a smile, put it on the Zheng family's dining table, and lifted the cover of the basket.A mellow aroma of chicken soup spread out, making Zheng Xiaodong, who was doing homework in the room, stick his head out.

"Auntie, this is boiled by the old hen that Vice Captain Yang came to send last time. My sister and I have small appetites. If we can't eat so much, it will be a waste. And brother Xiaodong will take the college entrance examination next year, and it is now When it's urgent, it's time to make up." Li Zheng said sincerely.

These words touched Mama Zheng's heart. Although she knew that her bastard did not get good grades, she still looked forward to the legendary college entrance examination that would make people "jump a carp into a dragon's gate".I heard that the one with the best grades in the bastard's class has one egg a day at home.

"This..." Mama Zheng obviously hesitated.

Li Zheng didn't care about Zheng's mother, and turned to greet Zheng Xiaodong with a smile, "Brother Xiaodong, come and eat chicken legs."

Zheng Xiaodong swallowed his saliva, he looked at Zheng's mother, then at Zhou Sitian who was standing quietly beside him, and walked slowly to the dining table.

Seeing her son's appearance, Zheng's mother's final refusal thoughts also faded, "Eat, eat, save some for your dad!" She said angrily.
