Back to 1978
As night fell, there was only a dim table lamp in the dark room.
Lei Dongbao, who was 56 years old, wrote in his diary today:
September 23rd, 2015, sunny.
The days in the village were the same as usual. I was old. Other than eating and basking in the sun, I did nothing. It was another meaningless day. If only Pingping was still alive.
It's all my fault for not taking good care of her…
Pingping, are you doing well down there? I miss you very much. In this life, I've done many wrong things. I only realized it when I was old.
If I could start over, I would protect you and our child with my life!
Ever since Song Yunping passed away, Lei Dongbao had kept the habit of writing in his diary. He wrote down everything he did every day in his diary, just like how he talked to Pingping in his diary.
The old man with white hair lay alone in bed, hugging the diary. He thought to himself, if only everything could go back to how it was before.
When he woke up, Lei Dongbao opened his eyes and found himself in front of the county bus station. The crowd around him was bustling. Everything was still the same as in 1978, when the college entrance examination was resumed.
At this moment, a girl carrying a cage of Angola rabbits was walking towards him.
Lei Dongbao looked at the back of his hand. The wrinkles on the back of his hand had disappeared. He touched his face again. It was clearly the face of a young man.
At that moment, Lei Dongbao was extremely excited. He shouted in his heart,"I'm back! Thank the heavens!"
In this life, I, Lei Dongbao, will definitely not have any regrets!
Song Yunping, the girl with draped hair and beautiful facial features, seemed to have been knocked over by someone. The rabbit cage fell to the ground, and the five Angola rabbits immediately fled.
Song Yunping's face was full of anxiety. The people at the station were all busy rushing, so no one noticed her.
Lei Dongbao smiled. The plot had not changed."Rabbit, I'm sorry. Pingping, I, Lei Dongbao, am here!"
Lei Dongbao ran over and said to Song Yunping,"Pingping, let me help you find the rabbit!”
Song Yunping looked at Lei Dongbao with a puzzled expression.""Who are you? How do you know my name?"
Lei Dongbao thought to himself that he was in trouble. Pingping still did not know him, so he had to think of a way to make things right. He smiled and said,
"I-I saw you at the county high school before! I heard that your name is Song Yunping, right?”Lei Dongbao knew that Song Yunping went to high school.
Song Yunping did not dispel her doubts, but the most important thing at hand was to quickly find the rabbit. That was the money she had exchanged for her long hair.
She was still counting on the fur produced by these rabbits to be sold to the supply and marketing cooperative to earn money to subsidize the family and support her younger brother, Song Yunhui, who was studying in university.
"My rabbit ran away. Can you help me find it?" Song Yunping quickly said.”
Lei Dongbao smiled and immediately nodded."No problem!"
Lei Dongbao immediately looked around for rabbits. He had just returned from being discharged from the army and was very agile. He quickly found four rabbits and pulled them by the ears to send them to the rabbit cage.
Song Yunping counted and said anxiously,"Thank you. There's one more.”
Lei Dongbao saw the rabbit at the side of a dock. He closed his eyes and stepped on it.
"I'm sorry brother, if I didn't trample you to death, Pingping wouldn't have gotten entangled with me.”
Lei Dongbao had no choice but to 'accidentally' step on the last rabbit in order for the plot to develop smoothly.
He held the dead Angola rabbit in front of Song Yunping and said apologetically,"
"I'm sorry, I accidentally stepped on it and killed it. I'll pay for it!”Lei Dongbao looked apologetic.
Song Yunping's eyes were watery and tears were about to flow out. She was silent for a while and shook her head.
"Forget it, you didn't do it on purpose. Thank you for helping me find the rabbit.”
Lei Dongbao looked at Song Yunping like this and his heart ached. Although they had lived together for so many years, he still could not bear to see Song Yunping cry. Looking at Song Yunping's lonely back, Lei Dongbao shouted,
"Song Yunping, I will definitely compensate you for the rabbit!”
Seeing Song Yunping walk away, Lei Dongbao took a deep breath and took out his diary. He sighed and said,
"It's good to be back!"
The diary recorded everything he had done since the reform and opening up. Some were right, some were wrong.
He believed that with his future memories and the things recorded in this diary, he would definitely be able to lead Xiaolei Village to avoid detours and become rich!
Lei Dongbao carried the dead Angola rabbit back to Xiaolei Village and called his childhood friends over to roast the rabbit.
As a soldier who had been discharged and a party member, the People's Commune should have arranged a good job for him.
Moreover, Little Lei's village secretary was the uncle who cared the most about Lei Dongbao. Soon, Lei Dongbao's job was settled.
Let him be the deputy secretary of Little Lei Village.
Lei Dongbao thought to himself,'Indeed, history has not changed. My first task now is to lead Little Lei's family out of poverty as soon as possible.'
At this time, Xiaolei Village was the poorest village in the surrounding area. The villagers only earned seven cents a day. They were still one cent short of buying stamps.
As a result, there were many bachelors in Xiaolei Village. The slightly normal girls outside were not willing to marry into Xiaolei Village.
As for the girls in Xiaolei Village, once they reached their age, they would be sold and given away to other villages.
Xiaolei Village was really too poor at this time. The villagers could not even eat their fill.
If there were no more girls willing to marry into Xiaolei Village, it would become a village of bachelors, and it would soon be the end of the line!
