[003] Past and present life
After feeding the buns to my father and another one to my mother, Fang Changan took the old English book for junior high school that he borrowed during the summer tutoring English, moved a stool and sat in front of the door, watching the rain while stunning the books.
After his rebirth, Fang Chang'an had been worried about today's "water disaster" after his initial fear and suspicion, and had no intention of thinking more. Now that he has successfully passed the disaster and changed his destiny, he can finally calm down and think about it.
As a senior online novel reader, the kind who is looking for the author with a knife all over the world, Fang Changan has read several rebirth novels, such as the great nirvana, the rekindling, and Chen Gou's 100 ways to die...
After accepting the rebirth of reality, he was thinking about what he could do, so he quickly fell into deep self-doubt.
Because the current situation where the protagonists do not have to change their fate after they are reborn is their goal!
For example, if you have a house in the city, relatives and friends can be small officials or employees... Those who have this condition here are undoubtedly the envy of most people.
Some relatives are officials, parents are employees, relatives are doing business, they know where the stolen money of corrupt officials is hidden, and there is a class belle in the class... he has no one.
Speaking of the past life until he graduated from college, he had never heard of any girl in the class and school who was called the class beauty or the school beauty. It seemed that she only saw it in TV and novels.
Of course, it is also possible that the schools I went to were too rubbish.
Fang Chang'an's family is located in the North China Plain, a small village called Majiagou. Later, when I drove home, I saw the name "Majiazhuang" on the navigation. I thought Majiagou sounded too rustic, but Majiazhuang was also rustic.
The family's living conditions are even worse now. He couldn't afford to get into a junior high school in the town and could not even pay the tuition of 230 yuan. In the end, his grandfather gave him a salary to pay for it. Nine years of compulsory education will only become popular here after he graduated from junior high school.
Speaking of which, Fang Chang'an's ancestors were rich, but they took a long time to do so. Fang Xuanling, who was "Fang Mou Duan" - anyway, as long as the surname Fang is basically said to be descendants of Fang Xuanling, as for the true or falsehood, Fang Xuanling himself is not sure.
The serious origin of this family's Fang surname was found in Majiagou during the Republic of China. It was not far from the family. It was in the village of the next county, and it was still abiding by the naming rankings. A few years ago, my grandfather went to continue the genealogy.
"The great literature and etiquette are very broad, the revitalization of blessings and wealth are long, and the palace loves age and is good at planning"
This is a school that Fang Chang'an has been memorizing since he was a child. When he was a child, he followed him to Fangzhai once. It seemed that someone in the clan died. I remembered that the food on the table was delicious, but unfortunately he ate slowly and others started quickly. He was not full at all. He was embarrassed to say that he had been hungry for a long time.
A little closer, Fang Chang'an's great-grandfather was once rich and was the commander of the National Army. According to his father Fang Lujun, he had a foresight before liberation and let several underground people go. Unfortunately, when those people came to repay their kindness, the old man had passed away. Otherwise, Fang Chang'an's current situation would not have been so poor.
Grandpa Fang Fukang enjoyed blessings and suffered hardships, plundered rivers and carried soil, and was criticized and humiliated. He also rushed to the town for more than ten miles barefoot in the winter to study. Later, he became the principal of the village middle school and was quite famous in the village.
Unfortunately, I have been teaching and educating for a lifetime. I have not taught one of my five children well: two daughters don’t know a few words, three sons, two of them are idle at home after studying in middle school, and they get into the bad habit of gambling and drinking. They are still the same after marriage. Fang Chang'an’s father Fang Lujun and his uncle Fang Luyong are both well-known "days" in the village next door.
The eldest uncle Fang Luguo was quite successful and was admitted to the normal school. Now he taught at the No. 2 Middle School in the town, which is Fang Chang'an's school. However, this has nothing to do with the old man, and he has worked hard for himself.
Fang Luyong is the youngest son, very favored by the two elders and lives a good life. Fang Lujun lived a very glorious life when he first got married. He planted the land and also did a small business selling cloth at the conference. He took his wife to the city with his son every now and then. His life was enjoyable and belonged to the kind that the whole village envied.
After having the eldest son Fang Chang'an, Fang Lujun and Congrong still wanted a daughter, so they gave birth to a second child, but they were sons, so they gave birth to a third child, and finally gave birth to a daughter, which was considered to be both children.
However, because he violated the national policy of family planning, he calmly hugged his children and did not escape the light of justice. In addition, Fang Lujun lost money in gambling and was debt-debt, his small business collapsed, and his life became increasingly difficult.
Without doing business, Fang Lujun became more and more idle. He was calm and had nothing to do when he was young. He was soft-hearted and did not know how to control it. Later, he found that his family owed more and more foreign debts. As soon as the Chinese New Year, a bunch of people ran to the family to ask for debts. Only then did he know that he had to manage it. However, Fang Lujun had already accumulated bad habits, so how could he manage it?
After Fang Lujun died in his previous life, he calmly pulled his three children alone and had a bunch of gambling debts - many of them were from brothers of the clan that Fang Lujun borrowed when he was playing cards. Later, after these uncles and uncles, all the debts owed by Fang Lujun were eliminated, and no one was allowed to take them.
But calmly asked clearly, and after more than ten years, I paid it back one by one.
Those gambling debts, with the perspective of Fang Chang'an's later generations, were less than 20,000 yuan, and it was nothing to save a few miserable students. However, in this era, they were really a towering mountain pressing over the entire family!
She calmly went out to work. At first, she earned only more than 600 yuan a month. She had to support her three children and also provided for her study and school... She probably only knew how she lived and what she felt like in this world.
Fang Chang'an only clearly remembered that before his mother went out to work, she was thirty-six years old and looked like she was about twenty years old. Before leaving, she went to school to see her, and her classmates thought she was her sister.
After graduating from college, my mother looked ten years older than her actual age...
Because Fang Lujun was not good at playing cards and drinking calmly, his education for his three children from childhood to adulthood was: "When you grow up, all three of you will leave Majiagou! Don't come back for your whole life! You can't gamble for the rest of your life! If I want to see whoever you play cards, I will poison you to death with rat poison!"
These experiences made Fang Chang'an full of disgust for his hometown. Although he was unmarried before his rebirth, he had already considered establishing a hall name early, so he was called "Chang'an Hall" and cut off any relationship with him.
When Fang Chang'an returned to the present, this kind of thought did not fade away. He had no intention of benefiting his hometown. The atmosphere was not developed at once, nor could it be eradicated in three or five years.
What's more, if you want to change the bad habits in the countryside from the local area, you have to start from above. Not to mention anything else, the road behind the village leading to the town, from a young age, I remember that I "raise money" to build roads from house to house, no less than four times.
All the money has been paid, where is the road?
A little bit of coal balls was spread out and it was gone in a month. This is pretty good, at least there is movement.
And there is such a road, Fang Chang'an never believes that he just stretches out his hand down.
Later countries have targeted poverty alleviation, but the roads have been repaired, and every household has money, and they have started to build buildings, so there is only money left in their eyes and hearts.
Although Fang Chang'an suffered a major change in childhood, his mother took the pressure. Later, his younger brother Fang Changming went out to work before he graduated from junior high school and helped to share the burden. Although he was the eldest, because of his good grades, he tried his best to keep him in school and study safely. Apart from the guilt buried in his heart and the living expenses, he did not really face the pressure of living directly.
Fang Chang'an was also mature late. He was rebellious in high school and spent money randomly and was lying around. He had done many mistakes that he wanted to slap himself later. Only after entering university did he really get to know the world.
After graduating from college, he took advantage of the mobile Internet to open a small company. It is not too difficult to earn millions every year. There are many such small companies in big cities, and a gust of wind comes and dies, but in the village, it is a big boss who everyone is envious and amazed.
The family that was originally looked down upon by everyone immediately became a popular celebrity. Although it was very pleasant to be proud, seeing the huge contrast in attitudes of these blood relatives made Fang Chang'an even more disgusted with this kind of vulgar face.
A boy from Chang'an suffered a change and experienced the warmth and warmth of human feelings. Some views were inevitably extreme. In fact, he himself realized that "only after having enough granaries can you know etiquette" is normal.
He believed that as the country is strong and the people are rich, the appearance of his hometown will also change, but his own experience is too deep, so he does not want to participate in or promote this process, but he just wants to stay away from it, live and work in a place where he already knows etiquette, and live a small life for his family.
Fang Chang'an took a breath gently. In this era, the air in the countryside is not much better than the other side of the ocean, because he has never breathed, but he thought it would not be inferior. It was mixed with the water vapor after the rain, which was fresh and moist, making him clear.
He tried hard to expand his thinking, thinking about the resources he could borrow, but after counting, he still couldn't find a point where he could borrow. The original passion that was stirring in his heart could not help but feel a little frustrated.
He was late in his previous life and only became aware of it when he entered university. He was a girl in college and started a career after graduation. However, for the things in this era, he was really only shrouded in the dark sky over his family. In addition, he was too young and knew very little, so he really couldn't think of any feasible and effective way to get rich.
Moreover, the starting point at home is too low and the resources that can be borrowed are extremely scarce. The only two more promising ones that I can think of are grandpa and old man.
Grandpa has retired, and except for having a little bit of thin air in the village, he basically has nothing.
The old man taught in the town, and he could still rely on his protection in junior high school in the future. When someone bullied him, he shouted: "My uncle is a school teacher!"
Apart from that, it seems to be gone.
And my understanding and understanding of today's era is very limited. I know that SARS has just ended, that the motherland will take off, that I must buy a house early if I borrow money. Besides... it seems that I have only the only way to study hard.
"I shouldn't be the worst rebirth, right?"
Fang Chang'an muttered in his heart, thinking that it shouldn't be the case. At least he has both parents and younger brothers and sisters to bully him. No matter how you think about it, it's more cost-effective than having a system such as gold fingers.
Fang Lujun had already returned to the bedroom to watch TV. Fang Changming and Fang Yanran each ate a few buns. When they heard the sound of the TV inside, they all quietly wanted to sneak in.
Congrong was washing clothes in front of the door with the enamel basin of the white-backed red carp in the house. Fang Yanran saw the basin and remembered the elder brother's advice. So she trotted over a few steps, squatted down and washed her hands twice, and contempted her: "There are oil on her hands..."
The little girl smiled, quickly washed her hands and wiped the towel hanging behind the door, ran into her parents' bedroom to watch TV, and then turned to Fang Changming, who was running over, shouted: "Second brother, you didn't wash your hands!"
Fang Changming glared at her, and Fang Yanran then shouted to the elder brother again: "Brother, second brother won't wash his hands!"
Fang Chang'an turned his head and looked at him. Fang Changming and his elder brother looked at each other, and jogged to the basin where his mother was washing clothes, and the back of her hands was not wet, so she shook her hands and went to the door to wipe it.
"What are you throwing around, it's everywhere... Are you washing your hands? Your paws are not soaked in the water!"
Fang Changming didn't care, and ran to his parents' bedroom, found a stool and sat honestly watching TV.
The house is an old-fashioned black and white TV. It was bought by my parents when they got married. It was a rare thing at that time. When the house was in elementary school, neighbors even came to watch the TV at home.
In recent years, most of them have bought TVs, and they are color TVs, and the signal is good. If you can see clearly, you will change to the brothers and sisters who often go to other people's houses to watch TV.
