Coming Back in 1990s Chapter 10

When he got home, Fang Bo gave the soy sauce and salt to his father and put the remaining ten cent into his trouser pocket.

The family prepared a meal, a plate of stir-fried lettuce with some meat slices, a large bowl of tomato and egg soup, and a pickle.

When Fang Shi saw his children coming back, he went to buy pork. He usually would never be willing to spend so much money on meat.

Fang Bai only eats lettuce and not meat. He has no interest in eating meat.

Seeing that he was only eating vegetables, his mother picked up two pieces of meat for him and said, "Eat more. It will nourish your body."

"Mom, I'm not interested in eating meat now, I got enough in the hospital.

My parents have worked hard to make money. My little sister is malnourished. You guys should eat more. You don't have to pick food for me."

When the parents heard their son's words, they were stunned. Their child had never said these words before. But when they heard them now, they felt very relieved. Perhaps after the accident, he had truly grown up.

Fang Shi pursed his lips and sighed, "Ah, Dad is useless and can't make any money."

"Dad, I don't blame you. It wasn't easy for you to raise us. It's hard for every family nowadays.

Don't worry, we will get better and we will eat meat every day until we get tired of it." Fang Bo chewed the rice, smiled and said, kicking his sister's foot.

This little girl, who is usually so smart, was only paying attention to the food.

The younger sister was stunned for a moment, but soon she became smart: "Brother is right, parents have worked very hard, we will be fine."

With a smile on her face, even she herself found it hard to believe that she could really eat meat every day and still get sick of it?

Bro, you're such a joker.

However, although she was young, she understood that her brother was trying to comfort their parents, so she could only agree with him.

"Yeah, it's going to be fine."

Fang Shi wanted to comfort the child, but was comforted instead and smiled with relief.

After dinner, Fang Bai started talking about his uncle and aunt's family.

"Dad, Mom, don't hang out with my second uncle's family. When they see me in trouble, they stay away from me. I'm afraid that my bad luck will spread to them."

"You kid, why are you talking so weirdly?"

"I didn't say anything wrong. We just tried to please the cold shoulder and were looked down upon."

Fang Bo said frankly that Fang Shi did feel a little uncomfortable when the child said that, but he was not wrong.

Seeing his parents were silent, Fang Bo took out 80 ten-yuan bills from the bag he brought back and said, "I asked my boss for compensation. I spent more than two hundred yuan to buy a bicycle for easier travel."

My father's eyes widened in disbelief: "Your boss is so nice?

The boss of Wencheng is a bit stingy. "

Today I saw my son riding a new bike back home, and I thought he borrowed it, so I didn’t have time to ask him clearly.

His sister and mother were also there, wondering how he got the money.

"It's OK. I told him some legal knowledge. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so happy." Fang Bo curled his lips and smiled, "Don't worry, I got the money in a proper way."

After he said that, the whole family felt relieved, as they were just afraid that he would go into the underworld.

"Haha, reading is still useful."

Fang Shi happily took the money, counted it, kept 600 yuan, and then pushed 200 yuan to his son, "My son has grown up and knows that making money is not easy. You should save these 200 yuan. You need to buy materials for repeating the year."

"I still have more than one hundred yuan on hand, which is enough for living expenses. I have planned to repeat my studies at Oubei No. 1 Middle School, and it's free there. Dad, you can use it for emergency first." Fang Bo said. In fact, he still had about 1,200 yuan, but it was spent quickly.

"Well, then, we, father and son, will not be so hypocritical."

Fang Shi readily accepted the eight hundred yuan, but he was still afraid that his son would spend the money impulsively, so he bought a bicycle as soon as he got the money.

Fang Shi was somewhat dissatisfied that the couple bought such a big item without consulting his family.

Fang Bai chatted with his family for more than half an hour, and then took a hot shower.

There were no water heaters back then, so we could only burn firewood to heat the water.

After Fang Bo boiled the water, he scooped one-third of the hot water into an iron bucket and carried it to the simple bathroom. He then scooped cold water from the water tank to flush with hot water, and used his hand to feel the water temperature to make sure it was about right.

Just use a bucket of warm water. You have to be frugal when taking a bath, otherwise it would be embarrassing if the warm water is gone before you can wash away the foam.

Close the simple wooden door of the bathroom and start taking a shower.

Fang Bai saw the bright starry sky through the hole in the bathroom ceiling and felt the breeze blowing into the bathroom, which made him feel refreshed.

After taking a shower, he took another bath with hot water in the yard to wash his hair, and his mother gave him a dry towel to wipe his hair.

After finishing all the work, Fang Bai sat under the light on the eaves, feeling the tranquility and cool breeze of the countryside.

In this era, people go to bed early and get up early, unlike in later generations, when people play with their mobile phones until midnight and still don’t want to sleep, and then cannot get up the next morning, feeling groggy and dizzy the whole morning.

Fang Bo's severed finger caused his parents more worries.

He remembered that in the past, his parents often went to the neighbor's house to watch TV series after dinner.

His family has a 14-inch black-and-white TV, but color TVs are popular now.

Of course, not many families could afford a color TV, and their purchasing power was equivalent to buying a car in later generations.

There weren’t many TV dramas to watch in that era. Journey to the West was broadcast in 1986 and has been rebroadcast countless times, accompanying countless people born in the 1970s and 1980s.

During every holiday, Fang Bo and his sister would occupy the black and white TV at home to watch reruns of "Journey to the West", and they had watched it at least three times.

After sitting for a while, Fang Bai went back to the house to sort out old books.

He tested the function of the golden finger in the hospital, and the function only took effect on newspapers, magazines and books that were touched by his right index finger.

He took the newspaper to test it, and after a while, he read about a hundred words.

Then, close your eyes and recall.

At that time, Fang Bo could probably memorize the first thirty or forty words. The content afterwards was clearer, but he couldn't memorize it.

His current memory and comprehension abilities are a combination of his current experience and abilities at the age of 18 and his previous life.

If it was just a soul travel, his memory from the previous life would have declined, and it would be difficult for him to remember sentences and formulas. It would be impossible for him to memorize the first 20 to 30 words after reading them once.

However, his ability to understand things when he was in his teens was certainly better than when he was younger.

In this situation, if he is allowed to repeat the year, he does not have to start from junior high school to master the knowledge. He can still maintain his memory ability after the college entrance examination and have the experience of his previous life.

Let him do mock tests again, and his reading comprehension ability will be much stronger.

Fang Bo compared his memory ability with that before he obtained the golden finger, and felt that it had been significantly enhanced.

Open your eyes and look again.

I recalled it again and found that I could memorize the first fifty or sixty words.

After reading it several times, I can almost memorize it.

Of course, it’s hard to say how much you can still remember after a while.

But no matter what, the temporary doubling of his memory and comprehension abilities made Fang Bo very surprised at the time.

Even if it is not a permanent enhancement, the overall learning ability is improved by more than just double.

For example, there are some English words that you just can’t memorize no matter how hard you try;

Some formulas are difficult to understand or even impossible to fully understand no matter how the teacher explains them.

This is equivalent to setting a learning threshold. Once the ability is reached, learning will be more efficient.

It can also be understood as temporarily improving part of a person's IQ.

Therefore, Fang Bo is more confident about repeating the grade.

Before going to bed, Fang Bai told his parents that he was going to report to Oubei No. 1 Middle School.

During this period, Fang Bai did not go home at night. It was too tiring to run back and forth every day. He raced against time to review at night, and it was not convenient to read at home.

On the other hand, this will save his parents some trouble. When he earns more money, Fang Bo will tell his parents about his money-making. By then, it will be more convincing for his parents to do some business. Even a small business is better than working.

When people in Wencheng do business, they like to team up with their fathers and sons, so most of the companies in Jiangnan Province are family businesses.

It is impossible for Fang Bo to do business alone without his family. It would be too tiring. It would be better if his family could help a little.

That night, after Fang Bai sorted out his old books and luggage, he went to bed at around nine o'clock. It was a rare good night's sleep.

I also had a beautiful dream that a big villa was built at home and my family lived a good life.
