In July 1992, early summer had entered in most parts of China.

Yuyang County, in the northernmost part of Qin Province, is still experiencing sandstorms at this time. It is located on the western edge of the Mu Us Desert, where it is constantly exposed to sandstorms from February to July every year.

Although China began to control deserts thirty years ago, many areas in northern China have to contend with sandstorms every spring and autumn.

But before the national policy of returning farmland to forest came out in 2002, counties in the Mu Us Desert were engaged in sand control and afforestation every year. Most of the people here were still struggling to survive. Township funds were limited, and local governments tried their best to maintain the desert.

Expand again.

This is especially true for Yuyang County, a national-level poverty-stricken county. Located in the southern part of the Mu Us Desert, the sun is blocked by sand and dust for half of the year.

People control desertification and plant trees for four months every year, and the remuneration they can get is just a few dozen yuan. To control desertification, all villages must take the initiative. Yuyang County basically relies on each township, and the villages allocate desertification control areas on their own.

, the people can live here.

Mengjiawan Township is located on the north side of Yuyang County, which is the most difficult place in Yuyang County.

Except for a few villages where you can see some greenery, the rest of the place is surrounded by yellow sand. As desertification has become more and more serious in recent years, people who have some means have moved to Yuyang County. The entire Mengjiawan

The total population of the nine villages in the township is less than 1,000.

There is a vent in the north of Mengjiawan Township called Green Haikou, because this desert was an oasis forty years ago. Now there is only a green sea lake with a size of 100 acres. A hundred years ago, it was a large lake with more than 100 square kilometers, nourishing

Covering the entire northern part of Yuyang County.

Gaojiawan Village is built around Green Sea Lake. There are 16 households living here. All the people in the village have the surname Gao. There are flat farmlands for two miles around Green Sea Lake. Only potatoes, corn, wheat and millet can be grown here.

There is a high probability that it will be blown away by strong winds every year. As for beans, rice, etc., it is even less likely.

One morning, something big happened in the originally peaceful Gaojiawan.

"Baosheng jumped into the lake. Thanks to Heiwa, he saw and rescued him. I heard that the man who was rescued was already out of breath!"

A dark-skinned woman raised her head and said to a neighbor at the door of a house. The entire Gaojiawan Village was so big, with less than a hundred people in total. How many cubs a pig gave birth to was a big deal in the village.

"Oh! It took a lot of effort to produce a good young man in the village, but why did he commit suicide! How can the university be something we poor people can't even think about? Even if we sell Guoliang, we can't even afford a college student." An old man next to him sighed.

"Let's go, something big happened at the village chief's house. We have to go and have a look no matter what." Another woman tightened her scarf and walked towards the village chief Zhang Guoliang's house. Others saw it and followed.

Gao Guoliang, the head of Gaojiawan Village, is an expert in desertification control in Yuyang County. He has led the entire village to control desertification on 4,000 acres for more than 20 years, preventing the southward expansion of the Mu Us Desert, so that the people of Gaojiawan can barely survive here.

, For this reason, Gao Guoliang was awarded the honorary title of "Sand Controller" in Yuyang County.

At this time, there was a lot of crying outside the village head Gao Guoliang's home. Gao Guoliang sat in the yard and bowed his head in silence. Almost everyone in Gaojiawan was here. The villagers listened to the crying in the cave and wanted to comfort them.

Gao Guoliang didn't know how to speak.

Everyone in the village knows that Gao Guoliang has three major prides. The first is his sand control technology. Without his leadership, the village's annual sand control belts would not be able to withstand the sandy season, let alone planting trees.

The second is that Gao Guoliang has good strength. He is the best man in Mengjiawan Township who can lift three hundred kilograms. There is an old saying in northern Shaanxi, a hundred kilograms of niche, a hundred and fifty idlers, a two hundred kilograms of men,

A strong man of two hundred and five pounds, a strong man of three hundred pounds.

The third was that his son Gao Baosheng was born. Gao Guoliang had four brothers, and he was the eldest. He gave birth to three daughters and finally hoped for a son, so he named him Baosheng.

Gao Baosheng has lived up to Gao Guoliang's expectations. He has been among the best in the smart class since he was a child. He has been among the best in junior high school and high school. This year, he was admitted to Qin Jiaotong University.

Gao Guoliang's three younger brothers sat behind Gao Guoliang without saying anything. Hu Huihui, the daughter-in-law of the second brother Gao Guozhong, and Qi Caihua, the daughter-in-law of the third brother Gao Guoyao, went into the kiln to comfort his sister-in-law Liu Fenglan, but in the end they cried bitterly together with Liu Fenglan in the kiln.

At this time, no one noticed that Gao Baosheng, who was lying on the bed without breathing, suddenly trembled.

His chest began to rise and fall slightly, and his originally pale complexion began to turn rosy. Gao Baosheng, who had been dead for two hours, actually showed signs of life again.

…

The pain in Song Xuegang's mind was like a knife. He felt that two different memories were constantly intersecting in his mind like a movie. He couldn't tell whether he was Song Xuegang in 2022 or the Gao who lived in 1992.

Baosheng.

Song Xuegang wanted to shout in pain, but he felt that he could do nothing. He could feel nothing but pain in his whole body. He didn't even know which part of his body the pain came from, and he couldn't control himself.

Body.

Gao Guozhong's daughter-in-law was crying when she suddenly saw Gao Baosheng's finger move. She was startled, then she thought about it and stopped crying immediately, and couldn't help but scream.

"Sister-in-law, I just saw Baosheng move his hands!" Hu Huihui, Gao Guozhong's daughter-in-law, shouted.

When Liu Fenglan heard this, she quickly came to Gao Baosheng's side. He lay on his son's chest and heard the slight heartbeat. Gao Baosheng actually started breathing again.

"The child's father, Baosheng is breathing!" Liu Fenglan opened the kiln door and shouted happily.

When Gao Guoliang heard his wife's words, he didn't react for a moment. After a few breaths, he hurriedly stood up and rushed towards the cave. Because he was too anxious, he fell heavily. He got up and didn't bother to put on his clothes.

He rushed into the cave dwelling with his cloth shoes.

All the villagers in Gaojiawan gathered around the cave entrance when they heard this. Gao Baosheng was the most educated young man in his village. The village was only so big, and all the villages here were very united.

"He's really breathing...my baby is alive and well!" Gao Guoliang shouted happily.

Hearing this, everyone outside the cave also breathed a sigh of relief. As long as everyone is well, everything will be fine.

Song Xuegang saw two memory fragments passing through his mind. As a viewer, he could only let these memories toss in his mind.

I don't know how long it took, but the two parts of memories in Song Xuegang's mind were finally sorted out. Those memories were sorted out like film reels and then stabilized. Song Xuegang was finally able to feel the existence of his body.

As a bookworm for more than ten years, Song Xuegang's ability to accept things is unusually strong. When he heard the voices in his ears that were not in Mandarin, he recalled the extra memories in his mind, and gradually understood his current situation.

I was reborn after a short sleep. It is now 1992. This body is named Gao Baosheng. He ranked first in the college entrance examination in Yuyang County this year and was admitted to Qin Jiaotong University.

When he was enjoying great success, someone told him that this year's national education reform had also changed many university fee policies. Tuition fees used to be more than 100 yuan a semester, but now they cost 2,000 yuan a year. After hearing this, he came back to discuss with his father.

, but his father brought him back to reality.

The tuition fee for college is 2,000 yuan a year, accommodation fee is 490 yuan, and living expenses. It is definitely not possible if you don’t have 3,000 yuan in one year, but it will be more than 10,000 yuan in four years.

Yuyang County is a poor county, and the people live off the land. It is difficult to save a few hundred yuan a year. The villagers have worked hard for more than ten years, and if they can save a thousand yuan and three kiln houses, they are already living a good life.

It’s been a long time.

Gao Guoliang told his son the truth. College is not something that poor people like us can think about. Gao Guoliang rarely has the opportunity to build kilns and houses in the countryside several times a year. It only costs 12 yuan a day to do big work. He can shoulder the responsibility alone.

The burden of family is no longer easy.

After listening to his father's words, Gao Baosheng knew that his family would never be able to pay for his college tuition. Even if he borrowed all the money from his three sisters and villagers, it would be difficult for him to graduate from college in four years, so he gave up the idea of ​​going to college.

.

This morning, Gao Baosheng was grazing sheep around Green Sea Lake as usual. Everything was fine at first, when he met several village elders who asked him about going to college.

It was okay to ask alone, but the more people asked, the more Gao Baosheng thought about it, the more something was wrong.

Thinking of the hard work he put in to study, he could have left here to go to a big city to go to school, settle there and become a commercial grain household registration, and live a life that everyone in the village would envy.

Thinking about living in the village like his father for the rest of his life, Gao Baosheng became more and more disappointed with life, and finally chose to commit suicide.

Gao Yigong, the eldest son of his second uncle Gao Guozhong, found him floating in the lake and went into the water to rescue him. In fact, Gao Baosheng was already dead at that time, and his body was almost rigor mortis when he was sent home.

After Gao Bao's death, Song Xuegang's soul took over his body. As he slowly listened to the cries and conversations in his ears, he thought that Song Xuegang in this world should still be only five years old at this time.

After all the information in his mind was sorted out, Song Xue just considered the current situation of this body. He could not let others discover his secrets when he was reborn, so he needed to be cautious in everything he said and did. Thinking that he had all the memories of Gao Baosheng,

Song Xuegang felt a little relieved.

Listening to the cordial call with a strong northern Shaanxi accent, Song Xuegang felt very close to him, as if he himself was Gao Baosheng.

"Son! You finally woke up, you scared your mother to death!" Liu Fenglan cried when she saw Gao Baosheng open his eyes and hugged his son.

"Mom, what's wrong with me? I accidentally fell into the lake when I was herding sheep. I'm fine now." Song Xuegang looked at the woman in front of him and couldn't help but comforted him. After saying this, he felt a little surprised that he actually said

He speaks fluent northern Shaanxi dialect.

"It's good if Baosheng wakes up. Second aunt will make you two eggs. You just woke up and your body is weak, so you need to replenish it." Hu Huihui saw Gao Baosheng woke up and stood up to leave. Gao Baosheng fell into the lake and almost drowned.

Few people believed it was an accident. Now that he woke up, he still let his elder brother handle it by himself.

Soon, most of the people in the cave had left. It was as if the crying in the entire yard had never existed. Rural women are capable of crying, but if they are not able to cry, they will be gossiped about by others.

Song Xuegang saw his second uncle, third uncle, fourth uncle and villagers come into the house to see him. He wanted to get up but he was too weak to get up. After a while, everyone left, and only grandma, parents and fourth uncle were left in the cave.

.

Gao Baosheng's grandfather died early, and his father Gao Guoliang basically makes the decisions in the family. Grandma is already over sixty this year and is still in good health. When her eldest grandson fell into the river, she was so frightened that she never entered the cave and just cried in the yard.

, now I heard that my grandson woke up and I dared to enter the house, but the crying never stopped.

The fourth uncle, Gao Guoming, is ten years older than Gao Baosheng. He is still unmarried and living in the home of the third brother, Gao Guoyao. Gao Baosheng's family only has three cave dwellings. He can only move out after Gao Guoming earns enough money to hoop his own kiln.

Most people in Yuyang County live in cave dwellings, otherwise it would be difficult to withstand the harsh environment here.

Gao Baosheng (he will be named Gao Baosheng from now on) felt that his physical strength was slowly recovering. He sat up from the kang with difficulty, but almost fell down because he had no strength in his body. His mother Liu Fenglan saw him and hurriedly supported him.

Gao Baosheng wanted to say some words of comfort to his parents, but the words came to his lips but he couldn't. He had taken over someone else's son's body. He could only keep this secret in his stomach. Now it was better to say less to avoid it.

What a mistake.

He is now weak, and this period of time is just for him to familiarize himself with the environment. Thinking of this, Gao Baosheng lay down and closed his eyes.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When Gao Guoliang saw this, he asked his wife Liu Fenglan to take care of his son, and he and the others all left the cave dwelling.

To Gao Guoliang, finding something lost was like a trip to hell. He looked at the cave dwelling where his son lived, remembered what Zhang Ma told him yesterday, and walked out to the countryside.

Gao Baosheng was lying on the kang thinking about his situation. Now his head was like a ball of mud, which has not been sorted out yet.

I was originally a worker in a winery in southern Sichuan. After working for five years, I now earn tens of thousands of yuan a month. Although I don’t have a girlfriend, I have a garage and a garage. I can be considered middle class after all.

Gao Baosheng's family only has three cave dwellings in total, and the courtyards have no exterior walls. They are all fenced with tree branches. There are only 13 households in Wangjiawan where they live. Because their father has the skill of hooping kilns, their family is in relatively good condition.

There are three cave dwellings, one for parents, one for grandma and younger sister, and one for Gao Baosheng. Before the eldest sister and second sister got married, Baosheng lived with the eldest sister and third sister in a cave house. Now the three elder sisters have got married.

He is approaching the age of marriage and can live alone in a room.

The family mainly eats potatoes and cornmeal steamed buns throughout the year. Almost all the wheat harvested every year is paid to the public grain. There is very little land in Gaojiawan that can grow wheat, and even less is allocated to each family. Everyone in the village pays

That piece of good land is the lifeline. The good life of a family depends on how much wheat noodles there are in the noodle cupboard. Generally, except for the Chinese New Year, people can only have a meal of white noodles when there is something important at home.

After thinking about it, Gao Baosheng already had some understanding of the environment he was in now. He was born in the south in his previous life and was thirteen years younger than this body. He never thought that China could have such a difficult place.

China is now in the early stages of reform and opening up. As long as he can leave here and go to the coastal cities in the southeast of China, it will not be difficult for him to make a name for himself with his understanding of history.
