Chapter 2 Return to Home
After Li Chen left school, he didn't go back to his hometown directly, his hometown is still an hour's drive from the county seat, and he plans to go back tomorrow!
This new home in the county seat is only a 10-minute drive from the No. 3 Middle School! After returning home, I was about to open the door with the key, but the door actually opened!
Before Li Chen could speak, the people in the room said, "Brother, you're back!"
It's my sister, the second uncle's family, Li Li!
Li Chen subconsciously wanted to say: When did you come over, why didn't you make a phone call and say it in advance, so he held back again. I also want to ask, why didn't you bring your daughter here?
Suddenly broke out in a cold sweat!
At this moment, a lot of information about her sister Li Li came to mind.
My sister did not graduate from high school and dropped out of school, so she went to work in Chongqing, where she met her husband and gave birth to a daughter! Although she is not rich, her family is very harmonious!
My sister has not been treated by Li Chen's second aunt since she was a child, and as long as something goes wrong, she will spread her anger on her sister! There is also a younger brother in the family, who has been cared for since childhood!
Li Li is the opposite, maybe she has endured not being loved since she was a child, so she thought of leaving her hometown, went to Yudu, and settled there!
Li Chen said, "You got out of school so early?"
Li Li didn't notice the change in the expression on Li Chen's face, and said, "Today and Friday, we only have two classes in the afternoon!"
Li Chen sighed, came to the living room and sat down!
He sorted out his thoughts, with some fear and uneasiness in his heart, and couldn't help but ask himself, did I really pass away?
Time passed minute by minute, until I heard Li Li shouting: "Brother", "Brother", "What's wrong with you, brother".
Li Chen came back to his senses from Li Li's shouts and looked at his sister Li Li!
I remember that I am two years older than my sister, and I am two grades higher than my sister! My sister was in high school in the second middle school, and now she should be in the first year of high school, if I remember correctly, my sister should have dropped out of school after the second year of high school!
My sister Li Li is at Li Chen's house, also because No. 2 Middle School is not far from Li Chen's house! Today is Friday, and all middle schools in Pingjiang County are on holiday, and it is also on this day that the buses are basically full!
At that time, the overload tube was not very strict! My sister Li Li lived in the school, and only on Friday would she come to Li Chen's house for one night, and go home the next day, so it was relatively safe!
Li Li's family did not buy a house in the county, they still live in their hometown in the countryside.
Li's father and Li's mother are doing renovation construction, and they have not been at home for a long time because of work. I will only go home once every holiday or Spring Festival.
Li Chen has an older sister named Li Xiao, and after her grandmother died, she also went to school and went to a coastal city to join her aunt! So Li Chen's house basically became an empty room except for Li Chen! And Li Li's key was also given to her after Li Li went to high school, after Li's father told her second uncle, and with the consent of the second uncle!
Li Chen said: "Sister, are you struggling to study during this time?"
Li Li and Li Chen are not much different in age, and the two have been chatting since childhood!
Li Li said: "It's just that I'm struggling, and now I'm about to become the bottom of the class." ”
Li Chen asked again: "Is the second aunt still like that to you now?"
In Li Chen's impression, the second aunt has always been not very good to her daughter Li Li! She is beaten and scolded, not for anything else, just because she is a daughter! At that time, most rural families felt that their daughters were useless, after all, they had to get married!
Li Li said: "It's okay, I'm used to it!"
Li Chen: "No matter what, you still have to catch up on learning." ”
Li Li nodded.
Li Chen's mind came to mind the experience of his sister dropping out of school, in his opinion, his sister's dropout was mainly due to two aspects, on the one hand, it came from her parents, and on the other hand, she couldn't keep up with her studies, which caused her to drop out of school!
Li Chen wanted to help Li Li, but he couldn't do it!
He said, "I'll go back to my hometown with you tomorrow! I'll take you out for something to eat later!"
In the evening, Li Chen and Li Li came to the central square of Pingjiang County together!
As soon as this place arrives at night, there are surprisingly many people! Li Chen and his sister chatted and strolled, bought and ate, talked and laughed, so unhappy!
These days, Li Chen can be regarded as suffering from his inner torture, and in this short period of time, he has swept away the haze of depression in his heart before! Seeing that his sister is in a good mood, Li Chen is also happy about it!
As a reborn person, his mental age can be said to be quite mature! It's just that at present, he still can't accept that he has become a reborn!
The happy times are short-lived, and when I get home, it's almost ten o'clock in the evening!
Li Chen's house is a three-bedroom and two-hall suite in Pingjiang County, because Li Chen's sister Li Xiao is not at home, the room is vacant, and now his sister Li Li lives in it!
Li Chen said: "Sister, you wash up early and rest first." ”
The next morning, the brother and sister washed up and went downstairs for breakfast! Then they went to the bus station and took the shuttle bus to Pingshan Town!
On the way back to the town, Li Chen vaguely remembered that this road should be an asphalt road, and the road was also widened into two lanes!
What I thought was an hour's drive turned into two hours!
Maybe the road was too bumpy, and he actually vomited halfway, and Li Chen was embarrassed for a while!
Sister Li Li looked at Li Chen's eyes, and actually showed a look of disgust, and said, "Brother, why are you still throwing up?"
The long bump was finally over, but the smell of the car was too bad.
After getting off the bus, Li Chen found a stall in the town to buy some fruit, and then found a tricycle and went straight to Li Li's house!
After the brother and sister got out of the car, Li Chen stood in place! Looking at this building, he was a little stunned!
This building was built by Li Chen's second uncle and Li Chen's father together in 94! The entire three-story building, covering an area of nearly one acre of land, has red walls and white bricks!
On the left is Li Chen's second uncle's house, and on the right is Li Chen's family! At that time, many people passing by were all amazed, "Cow!"
At that time, most people in the township were still mud-walled houses or blue-brick houses!
Li Chen was a little surprised, he clearly remembered that this house was in 2012, because the national highway was going to be widened, and it just happened to occupy their house!
It was also because of this compensation that the second uncle's family also went to Pingjiang County to buy a new house!
Although Li Chen also had conjectures, the facts in front of him made him have to admit that the matter of rebirth was true!
Nervousness, fear, anxiety, rejoicing, luck!
It's true! It's not true! Why is this happening? How is this happening?
For a while, Li Chen's nose was sour, his eyes were red, and his tears couldn't stop flowing down, and a seventeen-year-old boy actually cried!
Li Chen didn't know why he was crying!
He felt that the rebirth should be true, the so-called various years experienced in his previous life, fragments of his mind one by one, reluctance, sadness, and the person he wanted to see, suddenly became the past, so he couldn't hold back anymore, and collapsed instantly!
The younger sister Li Li who was standing on the side was even more inexplicable.
At this time, two people came out of the house, one was Li Chen's second aunt Yu Chunhua, and the other was Li Li's younger brother, Li Tao!
Seeing this, the second aunt Yu Chunhua asked, "Li Li, what's wrong with your brother?"
When Li Li saw her mother, she was a little worried and said, "Brother I cried as soon as I got off the car, and I don't know what happened!"
The second aunt Yu Chunhua said to Li Tao: "Tao'er, go and see what's wrong with your brother?"
Li Tao is 14 years old this year and is in the second grade of junior high school! When he came to Li Chen's side, he gently shook Li Chen and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
At this time, Li Chen felt very uncomfortable, and he couldn't hear what they were talking about!
After a while, he got up and said, "I'm fine!" He handed the fruit he bought to the second aunt and said, "Second aunt, I'm fine!"
Second aunt Yu Chunhua said: "Just like your parents, do things outside!"
He said to his cousin Li Tao, "Tao'er, go out with me to buy something!"
The second aunt Yu Chunhua is more strict with Tao'er's discipline! As long as she is not in school, she basically has to stay at home and read in her sight!
At that time, wishing for Jackie Chan was the expectation of every parent!
Li Tao looked at his mother, saw her mother nodding, turned around and followed!
Then the second aunt's voice came: "Xiaochen, come back early for lunch in a while." Li Chen responded.
Li Tao came to Li Chen's side and asked as he walked: "Brother." What happened to you just now?"
Li Chen looked at Li Tao and didn't say anything!
On the way, the two brothers chatted about other topics, such as studies and school life!
Li Chen remembered that Li Tao went to junior high school in the town, and then he also went to high school in Pingjiang County!
Li Chen took Li Tao to a place that sold fireworks and firecrackers, bought some sacrificial tools, and took his cousin to the graves of his grandfather and grandmother to worship!
Li Chen's grandfather died when Li Chen was 8 years old, and his grandmother died when he was 15 years old.
In front of the grave, Li Chen had words in his heart.
For Li Chen, rebirth can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, others cannot be resurrected after death, but Li Chen can come back after death!
When I got home, I heard her angry voice before I saw my second aunt, and she was scolding Li Li, saying what is the use of me giving birth to you, I can't do this thing, I really eat stupidly every day, what books to read, what to go to, don't drop out of school after reading, and so on!
Li Chen felt a little unbearable in his heart, and Li Li in his memory had been surviving like this until she went to Yudu later!
He wanted to say a few words to the second aunt, but he dared, so he said: "Second aunt, what mistake did my sister make, you want to say this about her?" ”
When the second aunt saw Li Chen and Li Tao coming back, she didn't continue to reprimand Li Li, and was busy cooking!
Although Li Li had just been reprimanded by her mother, she still went to help her mother!
After lunch, Li Li was busy washing the dishes, and Li Tao obediently returned to the room to read the book under the gaze of the second aunt!
Li Chen wanted to stay here for one night and walk! But he also felt a little embarrassed by the previous scene!
There are too many such things in his memory, and he is afraid that if this kind of thing happens, he can't help but reason with his second aunt!
Speaking of which, he is still too young, after all, he is also a 17-year-old boy, and no one listens to his language, let alone the second aunt of a middle-aged woman?
He seemed to feel a little sorry for his cousin and felt sorry for meeting such a mother, Li Chen really wanted to protect his cousin, and it was really difficult to be powerless!
Li Chen shook his head, so that he didn't think about these things! After saying goodbye to his younger siblings and second aunt, he prepared to leave and return to Pingjiang County!
On the way back, Li Chen thought about his future!
He knew that in the years to come, the country would develop rapidly, flourish, and all walks of life would blossom and a hundred schools of thought would contend, and what could he do in the process! Since God had allowed him to continue to stay in this world, he could not come in vain, and since he had come, he had to do something......
