Reborn in the 1970s

1

Houling Village was very lively in the evening. The villagers, who had been busy all day, were wiping their sweat, carrying shovels and rushing to the village with hunger.

It was the coldest month of winter, and the weather in the north was shockingly cold. When people were working, they were very enthusiastic and felt good even when they were sweating profusely. Now that they were free, they were shivering with cold when the biting north wind blew.

Digging soil, moving stones and building roads in winter are not easy jobs. In the old society, it was hard labor, and there would definitely be public outcry, but in the new society, no one complained about it.

Now it is 1969, and it has long been a world where the people are the masters. What is being practiced now is the collective economy. The villagers build roads for the country, which means they build roads for themselves.

If the roads are built better, they will be able to go to the city more conveniently next year.

Moreover, it is the farming season, and the villagers usually have no way to make money. Now they can earn ten mancm by building roads for a day, and everyone is willing to do it.

Most of the people in Houling Village are poor people who have come out of the famine years. In the Republic of China, most of them were refugees or long-term workers in landlords' homes, and it was not easy.

Now they have houses and land, and they can do jobs that can earn food, and everyone is warm-hearted even if they work hard in the winter.

These days are better than before, and they are good days.

On the way home, everyone talked about how much they had earned this year and how much food they could get. Everyone showed a very satisfied and happy smile.

"My three boys have performed very well this year. If they work hard for another year, my eldest son will be able to marry a wife."

"Yes, you are really up now. It's great that the three eldest sons have grown up and can help you with work. Unlike me, my eldest son can only study and can't do this kind of physical work. He can only make a living as a scorekeeper."

"In the future, I will definitely not be able to rely on him for work in the fields. Fortunately, my parents-in-law are capable and see that my eldest son is pitiful and are willing to help me from time to time. Otherwise, how can I live alone?"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Cuihua, who was originally very happy, immediately became unhappy. She was really carried away, why did she just talk to this annoying guy?

Widow Chen will probably not be able to survive if she doesn't show off her street kid son for a day!

Liu Cuihua, an orphan without a mother-in-law and no support from her natal family, couldn't bear to see Widow Chen pretending to be pitiful and disgusting even though she was obviously showing off.

"Big brother, run quickly and go home early to heat up the meal. Mom is hungry. Second brother, help mom get the shovel. Mom is tired. Third brother, go call your dad and tell him to hurry home for dinner."

After Liu Cuihua called her three eldest sons, she turned around and asked in surprise, "Hey, where is your Dabao? He has finished work, why doesn't he go home with you?"

"Tsk, the scorekeeper's job is so easy, but he doesn't know how to finish it quickly and come to help you. He is a 20-year-old boy, but he still doesn't know how to feel sorry for his widowed mother. It's really not like him."

After Liu Cuihua had insulted Widow Chen, she let out a sigh of relief. Under Widow Chen's angry eyes, she went home with her three sons lovingly.

Widow Chen failed to show off. She didn't hear the expected nice words. She was so angry that her nose was crooked. But she had to speak well of her son to the people around her.
