"Hey, Grandma Chun has been looking for things for several days. She may not be able to survive the Lantern Festival. That girl Chen Zijin didn't come back with her?"

"Who says it's not the case? My grandma is leaving, but my eldest granddaughter didn't show up. She doesn't dare to come back for fear of losing face!"

"Hey, it's such a pity. I watched Zijin grow up. His appearance is better than that of Xishi. You will never find such a beautiful girl from all over the country. Now that your family is rich, he was given over by that boy Li Heng.

It’s a waste.”

"Let me tell you, Li Jianguo is not good. He was expelled for having an inappropriate private life with a female teacher at school. How can he give birth to a good son?"

"Isn't there a rumor that Uncle Li was framed?"

"Who can explain this clearly? How can I be framed if I have a clean butt?"

"Hey, did you see the scene that day? I heard that Chen Zijin's sister-in-law caught and raped her in bed. Li Heng and Chen Zijin were naked and hugging each other with their underpants on. Is it true?"

"Hey hey hey! They are all so Hong Kong, they have noses and eyes, how can they be fake? I think they are 80% real!"

"..."

There are five ponds of different sizes lined up at the east end of the village. There is a grain drying field to the east of the pond, which is slightly larger than a basketball court.

At this time, there were six or seven rural women in simple clothes on Shaigu Ping, picking up the soles of their shoes and talking about the shortcomings of the parents in the village.

The object of their chatter today was the old Li family at the crossroads, and the main focus was on the father and son Li Jianguo and Li Heng.

In fact, not only today, in the past few months, the incident of poor boy Li Heng and noble girl Chen Zijin being caught having sex has been a hot topic in several nearby villages and towns.

How popular is it exactly?

The village chief's third marriage to a 22-year-old widow can't compare to it; the gray man named Liang can't compare to his daughter-in-law's bed.

The long-tongued women who don't know a few Chinese characters don't know much about it. They only know that the Chen family is flying, and their eyes are burning just by looking at it.

At this time, in the old earthen house opposite Shaiguping, a woman who looked to be in her 40s was silently washing her clothes.

The woman's skin is rough, and the corners of her eyes still have traces of time, but her figure is good and her charm is still there, which all tells that she was a great beauty when she was young.

She is Li Heng's mother Tian Run'e.

If she puts it aside and someone dares to criticize her husband and baby son behind her back, she can put down her deep-seated self-restraint and imitate a shrew by bringing a kitchen knife to her door and arguing with her for a long time.

When her husband was still the leader of the Education Bureau, Tian Run'e was the most prosperous boss in Shangcun.

But now, her husband has been framed and fired, the Chen family across the street has skyrocketed, and her son is being suppressed. She no longer has the courage.

Listening to the waves of ridicule on Shaiguping, Tian Run'e's fists for washing clothes were clenched tightly, but she finally relaxed them slowly.

"Fat Aunt, please keep your voice down. Aren't you afraid that Sister-in-law Run'e will hear you if it is so loud?"

Listening to it, a new daughter-in-law in the village was a little bit overwhelmed, so she reminded her tactfully.

"What are you afraid of? Her son dares to act like a gangster and strip off the clothes of the Chen family's daughter. I can't say a few words?"

"That's right!"

The long-tongued women on the Shaigu Ping, with four ounces of meat on their chests swaying, once again burst into a wave of unbridled laughter.

At this time, a boy with a crew cut who was passing by happened to hear their conversation and immediately pouted in displeasure:

"Hey! I said you are all dozens of years old. Half of your body is buried in the soil. You know what is behind your back all day long. You don't feel ashamed. If you have the ability to act like my brother, you can be upright and aboveboard!"

These words instantly angered the fat aunt. She jumped up from the low stool and pointed at her hips and cursed:

"Zhang Zhiyong, you are so heartless, who are you the same as? Believe it or not, I will slap your ears for your father!"

"Hey! I'm so scared!"

Zhang Zhiyong raised his buttocks with contempt, slapped his buttocks with his right hand, jumped up and retorted:

"I'm a stupid person, and I can't deal with you, an old lady! If you continue to be arrogant and make trouble against my father, we will have a fight now if you don't accept it!"

Everyone knows that the Zhang family's conditions are among the best in the village, and they also know that Zhang Zhiyong's nickname of "short-minded" is not for nothing. It makes him anxious, and he dares to do anything.

Just as an old man and a young man were bickering and pinching each other on Shaiguping, Tian Run'e walked out of the main room and shouted softly to Zhang Zhiyong:

"Zhiyong, don't argue with ignorant people. It's cold outside. Come inside and have a cup of hot water."

Seeing Tian Run'e appear, the fat aunt, whose courage was broken by Zhang Zhi, immediately pointed the finger at her:

"Tian Run'e! Who are you calling ignorant?"

Tian Run'e said calmly: "If you have the time to show off here, you might as well go back and take care of your bad guy. I just saw him sneaking into your daughter-in-law's room on the second floor."

The husband of the fat aunt was the famous Liang Huiguo in the village. After hearing this, she no longer bothered to quarrel with the two of them. She was so angry that she threw the unfinished shoe soles to the ground and hurried home cursing.

Rush there.

The fat aunt was the boss of the gossip, and when she left, the others suddenly lost their backbone and started to scatter.

Seeing Aunt Tian kill the fat aunt with just one word, Zhang Zhiyong clapped his hands and laughed, turned around and asked:

"Aunt Tian, ​​is Li Heng at home?"

Tian Run'e shook her head, "If he were at home, he would have come out to fight early, how could he let you show off your power alone?"

Zhang Zhiyong asked hurriedly: "Then where did he go?"

Tian Run'e asked: "Do you have anything to do with him?"

Zhang Zhiyong nodded like a chicken, "It's urgent!"

Tian Run'e pointed in the direction of the river dam: "Go and have a look at the dam. He went out with a fishing net in the morning."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhiyong turned around and ran towards the river dam without saying a word.

…

On the dam.

In the dam with crystal clear river water, you can see groups of small fish playing freely in the water.

At this time, Li Heng put his hands behind his head, crossed his legs and leaned on a pile of river sand, staring blankly at the fish in the water. He had never been so confused.

Reborn!

I actually went back to the poverty-stricken era of 1987.

Thinking of the mud huts at home that are about to collapse, and of the carrots and cabbages with little oil and water that have been eaten for the past two months, I really feel like crying, and I don’t have the courage to live a heroic life and start over again.

In his previous life, he was in good health and had physical examinations every year. Doctors he knew well joked that he was as strong as an 18-year-old boy and could play music every night. How could he be struck by lightning just as he was taking a walk after dinner?

If he is so cold, what should the old mother do in that world? Her family and children must not die of grief?

Will the confidante who is walking with him go crazy when he sees his body lying on the ground?

Every time he thought about this, he was like a struggling fish in an oxygen-deprived aquatic pond. He was so stuffy that he couldn't breathe. He really wanted to hug his head and cry.

Qiansheng worked in the government department after graduating from college, and was later dragged by his old classmates to set up an overseas training institution.

After decades of hard work, step by step, we have a rich family fortune. It is the time when we are satisfied and the most prosperous life in life. But now that tens of millions of savings have been exchanged for three shabby mud houses, everything is in vain!

It’s all fucking wasted!

He looked up at the thief God. Is this the so-called karma?

But he was cautious throughout his life and never made any big mistakes?

Really unwilling!

The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became. The depressed Li Heng stretched out his right hand and pulled a piece of dogtail grass into his mouth. He chewed it and comforted himself like this:

In his last life, everything went smoothly. He went to college, had a good job, and had a good time to start a business. Maybe God knew that he owed too many favors, so he had regrets, so he came back to make up for it.

When he thought of regrets, he first thought of his old father, and he couldn't help feeling a little sad.

Li Jianguo is not in good health. He has suffered from spinal disease for a long time. He cannot do any heavy physical work. He can only help with cooking and housework.

As for Tian Run'e, her marriage to Comrade Li Jianguo is full of absurdities.

When Li Jianguo was young, he had good looks, was a college student, had a decent job, and it was very easy to find a partner.

But he seemed to be possessed by a ghost. He didn't want this one, and he didn't like that one, but he was conquered by a beautiful photo at his friend's house.

A friend told him that the heroine in the photo was now in financial ruin and was working as an educated youth in the countryside in the next door province of Ganxi. The distance was too far and it was not easy to meet her.

But Li Jianguo refused to listen and asked his friend Zhang Luo to act as a matchmaker.

My friend was so angry that she originally wanted to marry Li Jianguo, but she didn't expect to lose because of a photo. This would be extremely uncomfortable for anyone who encounters her!

In the end, my friend reluctantly bought two train tickets to accompany him to the next door province of Gansu.

The heroine of the photo is Tian Run'e. When she first met Li Jianguo, she only said three sentences:

In the first sentence, Tian Run'e pointed to the stone bench in the courtyard and said: "Come on, sit facing the sun and let me take a good look at what you look like?"

Li Jianguo faced the sun and sat down obediently.

In the second sentence, Tian Run'e asked: "Have you ever been friends? Have you ever been married?"

Li Jianguo shook his head, "None of them."

In the third sentence, Tian Run'e issued an eviction order: "You can leave, I don't like you."

Hearing this, Li Jianguo immediately became anxious: "I don't want it! Ever since I saw your photo, I haven't had a good night's sleep in half a year. I want to marry you!"
