Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 649: The Temptation of Going Home (Monthly Ticket Plus)

"What kind of pen pal do you think can attract your second sister to travel thousands of miles to study in Shanghai?"

While lying in bed at night, Zhu Lin asked Fangyan curiously.

Fangyan couldn't help laughing when he heard this question:

"He is probably a rare and extraordinary man in the world."

Seeing Fangyan laughing, Zhu Lin also laughed:

"What are you laughing at? What else is there to call a rare and extraordinary man in the world?"

Fang Yan smiled and said:

"It means being talented, resourceful, loyal, broad-minded, independent and brave."

"Anyway, he has all the talents, morals, behavior, and temperament that a man should have."

“In short, it has extraordinary qualities in all aspects, is unique and outstanding.”

Hearing that Fangyan was joking, Zhu Lin asked him:
"From what I hear, you mean you don't believe what your second sister said?"

Fang Yan nodded and said:
"Of course I don't believe it. Not only do I not believe it, my parents, older sister and younger brother don't believe it either."

"Those were just excuses. My dad didn't tell her about it for my second sister's sake."

Zhu Lin suddenly realized:

"I was wondering why you all looked so weird after pouring the tea..."

Fangyan patted his wife's head:

"Okay, let's just keep it to ourselves. Don't expose her, or my second sister will be embarrassed."

The Queen rolled her eyes at Fang Yan:
"Your wife is not stupid, so why should you teach her this?"

Dialect music:

"Hey, that's right. Other people become stupid for three years after pregnancy, but my wife becomes smarter as soon as she gets pregnant."

Zhu Lin said:

"I doubt you're saying I'm usually stupid."

"No way, it's unfair!" Fangyan quickly argued.

……

In the front yard on the other side, Fang Ning had just finished a comfortable hot bath and was lying on the bed, with a soft cotton mattress underneath and a thick quilt covering her body. The small table lamp at the head of the bed emitted a warm light. The room was quiet, with only the occasional slight "click" from the radiator. This was her first night back in Beijing, and she was completely sleepless.

I had just drunk a little bit of wine and felt really sleepy, but after taking a shower and walking out of the bathroom, I was instantly sobered by the cold wind.

When I closed my eyes, my thoughts involuntarily drifted back to Wuwei, back to the educated youth training center on the Loess Plateau.

The winter there was so cold that it made people tremble with cold bones. The kang was cold, the quilt was hard, and the wind came in through the cracks in the wall, making it impossible to sleep all night.

She still remembers that several female educated youths huddled together to keep each other warm. She thought to herself: "When we get back to BJ, we must have a warm sleep."

But now that I'm really back, lying in the warm bed, I just can't fall asleep.

She used to want to escape from BJ and escape from home.

All I was thinking was that after my time in the countryside was over, I would go to Shanghai to study, to that bustling big city, and live a completely different life.

But now, lying in my bed, I feel how naive I was back then.

Shanghai, the city I once dreamed of, now seems so far away and strange.

And the capital city, the place I once wanted to escape from, doesn’t seem to be that bad after all.

Home is not just a warm place, but also a spiritual belonging.

She once thought that she could find freedom by escaping from home, but now she suddenly had a new realization: true freedom is being able to return to that warm harbor after going through the storm.

"Hey……"

Fang Ning sighed softly. She thought of herself as a very thoughtful person, and once she made a decision, she would not change the outcome. But after just a few hours back today, many of her previous ideas began to waver.

Reaching out to turn off the desk lamp and closing his eyes again, Fang Ning decided to take a nap and not think about anything else.

……

Time soon came to the early morning of the next day.

Fangyan had just gotten up when he saw his brother-in-law Zhao Yuanchao swinging a stone lock in the yard. This was the latest one he bought at the flea market. He had brought the previous one from Inner Mongolia, but he thought it was too light and left it unused under the eaves.

Now this one is one-third larger and heavier, but my brother-in-law still swings it around and he enjoys using it.

Fangyan glanced towards the kitchen and saw that his eldest sister had already gotten up and was making dumplings with his mother.

They talked about making a breakfast that my second sister would like last night.

Diced lotus root and meat stuffing buns with millet porridge.

Although the dialect does not understand this taste, it shows respect.

There were quite a few dishes left over from last night, and he was willing to eat the leftovers this morning.

Just after warming up, little Zhao Zhengyi got up, immediately perked up, and started practicing in dialect.

For a while, the sound of "humming and haha" of martial arts practice could be heard continuously in the main courtyard.

Fang Ning, who had insomnia last night and didn't know what time he fell asleep, opened the door early in the morning and saw the lively scene in the main courtyard. He was stunned for a moment.

When we were sent to the countryside to work, we got up so early because we were doing farm work. After returning to the city, there was no farm work to do, so we still got up so early.

Adults and children were exercising in the yard, humming and laughing, and they were sweating all over.

Then she came back to her senses from her trance.

Fangyan learned martial arts as soon as he came back, and my eldest brother-in-law has been learning martial arts since he was a child.

Don’t these two people exercise every day?

"Good morning, second sister!" The younger brother walked out from the next room and greeted Fang Ning.

Then I went to wash up.

Fang Ning then realized that Fang Yan's home now had hot water that could be easily poured out, which made washing very convenient in the cold weather.

She also carried a porcelain basin and towel and followed her younger brother to get hot water for washing.

When passing by the main courtyard, he greeted Fang Yan and the others.

Fang Yan and the others responded, and then Fang Yan immediately stopped what he was doing and said to his second sister:

"Second sister, I'll check you out after you finish washing up."

"Oh, okay!" The second sister nodded in agreement.

When the second sister finished washing up, Fang Yan was already waiting in the main hall.

Then Fangyan carefully checked his second sister's current physical condition.

Because I had nephritis before, I still have some minor problems with my kidneys, and these were discovered during the medical check-up.

In addition, Fangyan also discovered that the second sister's liver, spleen, and stomach also had some minor problems that needed to be treated.

In addition, she was still a little malnourished, so she had to be well taken care of during this period. Before she started taking the medicine, Fangyan had her bones adjusted, because she had some problems with the bones in various parts of her body due to doing too much farm work.

After Fangyan’s bone adjustment, the second sister suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

Then Fangyan pricked her in several places with silver needles.

After half an hour of acupuncture, before preparing to have breakfast, Fang Ning felt as if he had a different body. The words "miracle doctor" in the newspaper suddenly materialized before his eyes.

It turns out that this "miracle doctor" is actually his brother.

This really made her feel dazed, as if she was dreaming.

But she also became more curious about Fangyan, so after breakfast, when Fangyan and his friends were about to go to work, the second sister said to Fangyan:

"Old Third, I want to visit your workplace. Is that okay?"

Fang Yan didn't expect that his second sister would go to Union Hospital with him, but then he thought that he had to get the medicine for his second sister anyway, so he asked the nurse to prepare it for her at noon.

So he nodded and said:

"Okay, no problem."
