"I'm going to get married! I'm twenty-two years old! Many of my classmates have children!"

"It's not that I don't agree with your marriage! You have to see clearly who you are marrying! Don't regret it later!"

"It doesn't matter who he is! What's important is that he can afford Adi's tuition and still have money to treat his mother's illness! Are you going to watch Adi drop out of school and watch your mother continue to get sick?"

Although the quarrel in the outer room was deliberately suppressed, Yao Yuan in the inner room could still hear it clearly.

A hand-tearable calendar hangs on the mottled wall, with the date written on it: October 1, 1991.

Yao Yuan stared blankly at the old and mottled ceiling. It took him a long time to accept the fact that he was reborn. He was reborn from 2021 back to 1991.

This is his home, the staff room assigned by the factory.

A room of fifteen square meters can be said to have only four walls.

His father, Yao Zhenhua, built a partition to separate the room. He and his sister shared half of the room. Yao Yuan and his father slept in the partition. They cooked on a simple stove set up in the corridor outside. To use the toilet, they had to go to the public toilet at the end of the corridor.

Yao Zhenhua is a senior operator at Xihai Sugar Factory. He can get 200 yuan a month's salary plus subsidies.

My mother was a cashier in the factory, and money came and went, but her salary was only 120 yuan.

The life of a dual-income family is relatively relaxed, but Yao Zhenhua and his wife attach great importance to education. Their daughter and son are treated equally. When their daughter is admitted to a technical secondary school, they fully support her without saying a word, so that the relaxed economy becomes tight.

A sudden serious illness caused her mother to be admitted to the hospital. The factory hospital could not cure her, so she was transferred to the county people's hospital. It was at this time that Yao Yuan was admitted to a five-year engineering university.

To make matters worse for the family, there was a problem with the high-priced equipment imported by the factory, and the production line was shut down. Yao Zhenhua was forced to wait for work and lost his monthly salary of 200 yuan.

The medical expenses of 1,600 yuan, tuition and living expenses of 400 yuan, almost made this unemployed man unable to breathe.

The burden of life has destroyed this honest man to the point of losing his human form. He has tried his best, but he still cannot get his family out of the current predicament.

After being laid off, Yao Zhenhua went to the black brick kiln to carry bricks without telling his family. 50 bricks were a penny. In order to earn 10 yuan, he had to carry 5,000 bricks.

In order to earn an extra dollar, Yao Zhenhua worked hard day and night.

Fate always plays tricks on ordinary people. Not long after, the black brick kiln collapsed, Yao Zhenhua was seriously injured by a brick, and the brick kiln owner ran away.

Yao Yuan clearly remembers that it was this year that in order to pay for her own tuition and fees and her parents’ medical expenses, her 22-year-old sister chose to get married and used the 4,000 yuan in gift money to support the family!

However, the person she married was a blind man who was engaged in eating, drinking, prostitution, gambling, and not doing any serious work.

There is no way, because only this person can afford more dowry money.

When he squanders all the family property, all his true colors will be revealed: domestic violence, insults, alcoholism, and the eldest sister's life will be in dire straits!

In his previous life, with the support of his eldest sister, Yao Yuan completed his studies, successfully entered the work of a central enterprise, and became a senior mechanical engineer.

But his eldest sister's tragic life experience left him with lingering self-blame and guilt throughout his life.

He often thinks about how great it would be if he could go back to that time and know more about things and be able to do something...

Thinking of this, Yao Yuan couldn't help but burst into tears, and softly murmured: "Sister."

Seeing Yao Yuan appear at the door, as if she was worried that her younger brother would see the clues, the eldest sister quickly calmed down, wiped away her tears, and said with a forced smile, "Xiao Yuan is awake, let's wash your face and have breakfast."

The quarreling father and daughter made a tacit agreement to shut up.

Yao Yuan noticed this detail.

My father, mother, and sister are all like this. They always carry all the pressure and bitterness on their shoulders and create a warm and comfortable living environment for themselves.

Under the care and protection of my family, I am like a flower in a greenhouse, growing carefree.

Yao Li hurriedly said, "Sister, I'm back with the money. From now on, you can just study in peace."

My father, Yao Zhenhua, was sitting on a wooden bench with one leg lame. He said nothing and smoked cigarettes. He was already looking old for the age of less than fifty.

The stack of money placed on the table did not make him feel happy, but instead made him feel heavier.

Yao Zhenhua was extremely uncomfortable. As a father, he was unable to solve the family crisis.

But he was forced to use his daughter's bride price to pay for the family's debts.

Thinking of this, Yao Zhenhua lowered his head and cried silently.

A man doesn't shed tears easily, but he hasn't reached the sad point yet!

Yao Yuan took a deep breath. He looked at his eldest sister's face in its prime. Although there were tears between her brows and she was bare-faced, she could not hide her youthful beauty.

Thinking of the wrinkled and bloodless face of his eldest sister in his previous life and the bruises at the corners of her mouth, his heart ached.

Every time the eldest sister pretends to be relaxed and says that I am doing well, Yao Yuan feels like a stab in his heart.

"Isn't this rich? Man, don't cry." Yao Li comforted.

He walked forward and gently hugged his younger brother, who was a head taller than him. "You don't have to worry about money. You just have to study hard. Even if my sister sells iron, she still has to support your education. Let the neighbors know that we

Our Yao Yuan is a promising child!"

Taking another deep breath to adjust, Yao Yuan nodded.

He said, "Sister, I will do it. I swear, I will not let my family down!"

Breakfast is very simple.

A bowl of soy milk, a fried dough stick, a plate of pickles, and an egg.

Yao Zhenhua didn't move at all, still sitting on the lame chair and smoking. The cigarette butts scattered on the floor seemed to tell the man's thoughts.

"Dad, has something happened in your factory recently?" Yao Yuan suddenly asked his father while sitting on a long bench.

Yao Zhenhua was slightly startled. He hadn't told his family about the news that he was out of work. He didn't want his family to bear a heavy psychological burden. He sighed and pretended to be relaxed: "It's true that something happened. The factory paid a high price to buy it back."

The imported equipment broke down, and everyone in the factory was in a hurry to repair it, so they hired maintenance technicians everywhere at high prices."

Sure enough, Yao Zhenhua still concealed his unemployment.

Yao Yuan's heart moved slightly.

Equipment failure may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me, who specialized in mechanical engineering in my previous life.

And he clearly remembered that the factory posted a reward list at that time, and whoever could solve the equipment failure problem would be rewarded with a thousand yuan, which was a huge sum of money.

However, in the previous life, no one could get the one thousand yuan bonus, and the sugar factory eventually went bankrupt because of the accumulated conflicts.

Yao Yuan began to make plans in his mind.

If he could repair the broken equipment in the workshop, then his father would not need to wait for work, and he would be able to stay away from the damn black brick kiln when he returned to get off work in the factory.

As long as she can earn enough for medical expenses and tuition and miscellaneous expenses, my sister can return the bride price to others and there is no need to marry.

"Dad, give me the car keys, I want to go out for a while."

"Where are you going? I haven't had breakfast yet." My sister shouted from behind.

He quickly went downstairs to the stairwell and struggled for a long time to unlock the bicycle. After pushing it out, he hurriedly started running, but he completely forgot that he had not ridden a bicycle for fifteen years after being reborn in 2021.

The bicycle fell down with a "plop".

Ignoring the pain, he quickly got up and helped the bicycle up. After several attempts, he finally succeeded in riding it. He stood up and pedaled hard toward the production area.
