Chapter 1 It feels so good to have a dad

“Mother, please don’t stop me. I’m going to borrow a carriage from the village office and go to the forest farm to seek justice for our Xiaofeng! This is the Communist Party’s world, and they are rebelling against them. Why did they take over Xiaofeng’s job and beat our child?”

“Boss! Your leg isn’t fully healed yet. If your child loses his job, we’ll have to think of other ways. If something else happens, how will our family survive?”

……

Yue Feng felt like he had a very long dream. In the dream, it was the appearance of his hometown when he was young. He was lying on the kang in the west room. His father, whose right leg was broken and had not yet healed, was arguing angrily with his mother. If it weren’t for the splint on his leg, he would have been about to rush out of the room.

The sound of my parents’ quarrel became much quieter, and slowly faded into silence.

Then, various noises sounded near his head one after another. Yue Feng vaguely heard that it seemed that neighbors, relatives from the village came to visit him.

After an unknown amount of time, Yue Feng struggled to open his eyes.

What catches the eye is a mud wall connected to a ceiling made of yellowed newspapers.

The old house was low and narrow, and the whole room was dimly lit, with only a small square window that let in a faint light.

The scenes in memory slowly overlapped with reality, and a large amount of dusty information in memory was reactivated, filling Yue Feng’s mind.

Yue Feng looked around and his eyes stopped on the calendar behind the door.

September 1980, 9, the year of Gengshen, the fourth day of the eighth lunar month.

Could it be that he was reborn?
Yue Feng was confused at first, looking around, and then his dormant memories were slowly activated. He went from being dazed to surprised, to shocked, and finally there was an irrepressible ecstasy on the corners of his mouth!

In his previous life, Yue Feng’s life was not very good. To put it in a trendy way, he had a good hand of cards but played it badly.

To be objective, Yue Feng’s family conditions were not too bad in the village when he was young.
The eldest brother took over the job from my second grandfather and worked as a worker in the city coal mine. He found a wife and settled down in the city, becoming a city dweller who ate commercial grain.

My father could drive a cart and was considered a big shot in the village production team.

Yue Feng is the second child in the family and has a younger sister who is twelve years younger than him.

The key point in the family’s decline was Yue Feng.

The family emptied their savings and asked someone to find a temporary job for Yue Feng in a forest farm on the mountain. However, he had only been there for a few days when he was beaten unconscious and sent back. His father, who had an injured leg, was furious. He went to the village office on crutches to borrow a horse-drawn carriage and went up the mountain himself to seek justice for his son.

As a result, the father, who had difficulty walking, was accidentally attacked by a wild boar on the way up the mountain and died.

The pillar of the family collapsed, and the whole family never recovered. Yue Feng became the family’s laborer, but he worked very hard in the production team for a year and could not earn much money. The family could barely eat enough.

Fortunately, there are abundant wild animal resources at the foot of Changbai Mountain, and hunting is not banned in this era. Yue Feng’s family has been hunters for generations. He and his father have gone into the mountains to hunt during the slack season since he was a child. He also passed down the skill of training eagles from his grandfather.

Relying on the supplements from these mountain products, the whole family finally got through those difficult years.

Later, when Yue Feng was 25 years old, he was deceived by a matchmaker named Wang Tiezui and married a woman from another place. After several years of marriage, when they still had no children, he realized that he had been cheated and that his wife had a problem.

After knowing the truth, Yue Feng’s temperament changed drastically, his life became worse and worse, he became addicted to alcoholism, and learned how to play with money. From then on, he lived in a daze until he died at the age of sixty after a hangover.

Thinking of this, Yue Feng hurried out of the house and went straight to the east room where his parents were resting.

Fortunately, his father was still lying on the kang and hadn’t gone up the mountain yet. “Dad!” Seeing his father’s face tanned by years of hard work, Yue Feng’s heart sank, and his tone was already a little tearful.

“Xiaofeng is awake! How do you feel? Are you dizzy?” Father Yue Lei struggled to get up from the edge of the kang and answered.

“Well, you’re awake! Do your legs feel better?” Yue Feng walked to the edge of the kang and held his father’s big hand, which was like a steel chisel.

The father-in-law looked his son up and down, touched the bump on Yue Feng’s forehead, and said indignantly: “You bastard, I’ll go to the brigade to borrow a car to go up the mountain tomorrow, and then I’ll call your uncle Li and we’ll get justice for you together!”

“Forget it! I’m fine! Where’s mom?”

Contrary to his usual behavior, Yue Feng did not add fuel to the fire, but instead rationally suppressed the matter.

In the previous life, the accident of my father Yue Lei was strictly speaking directly related to Yue Feng’s instigation.

The 19-year-old boy was beaten and lost his job at the time when he was trying to save face. This made Yue Feng feel that he could not hold his head up in the village, so he said a few words to add fuel to the fire during dinner, which resulted in his father losing his life.

The reborn Yue Feng now has the soul of a man who has lived for more than sixty years and his mind is extremely mature.

“Your mother went to the village entrance to pick up your brother! The village office called and said that your brother and your sister-in-law will be back today. Your mother fed the pigs and took Jingjing to the village entrance to wait!” said Father Yue Lei.

“profound!”

Yue Feng thought of his memory of his elder brother and sister-in-law’s faces when they returned home this time, and responded without any expression.

“That Zhou guy took money from our family. We can’t just let it go about your work at the forest farm and the beating you received!”

Yue Lei leaned against the wall and took out a pipe from the box on the edge of the kang. He then took out tobacco from the cloth bag on the pipe and carefully filled it in and pressed it firmly.

Yue Feng’s heart moved when he heard this, and after thinking for two seconds, he said: “The job of Gui Leng is not a good one. It is said that there is hope to get a formal position in the forest farm, but it is just a trick. The whole Leng factory is outsourced, and only the people who check the rulers are the forest farm staff!
The people there were all recruited by the contractor’s boss, and many of them were vagrants from other places. Many of the people who beat me up that day were vagrants. It’s hard to say whether I can find them next time I go back.

The factory is outsourced and is not even a public institution. There is not much you can do to reason with them!
Your leg hasn’t recovered yet and I have a head injury. What can we do if we go to your house in this situation?
Let’s put it aside for now. When we are all healed, we will find a chance to get back at the place! Guileng Factory is right there. Even if the monk runs away, the temple cannot!”

Yue Lei was slightly stunned when he heard his son’s words.

In my impression, Yue Feng was a powder keg that could be ignited at any time and had a bad temper. But today he had changed his character. When he heard that he was going to seek revenge, instead of adding fuel to the fire, he became rational and calm.

This analysis is so well-reasoned and convincing that it is hard to refute it.

“Then… wait until your eldest brother comes back and hear what he says!”

As he was talking, Yue Lei had filled the pipe in his hand with tobacco. Yue Feng tactfully took out a match and lit it for his father. His father took two puffs from the pipe, and a red light lit up in the combustion chamber of the pipe. The room was soon filled with the smell of tobacco.

In his previous life, the image of his father in Yue Feng’s memory had already gradually become blurred with the passage of time, but at this moment, his father, who was just 46 years old, still had the image of a young middle-aged man.

It feels so good to have a dad!

Yue Feng just sat quietly on the edge of the kang, feeling extremely emotional.
