Chapter 1: The Four Walls of the Family
"Baoya, if you die, your mother won't live anymore!"
The mournful cry hooked Xu Zhinian's consciousness, and she struggled to open her eyes a slit, and vaguely saw the face of a middle-aged woman.
With a weather-beaten face, rough skin, and two lumps of plateau red on her cheekbones, how could such a person run to her business elite party?
She must have been dreaming, she had drunk too much alcohol and her consciousness was starting to drift away.
The next second, another voice came to my ears.
"Sister-in-law, why are you still crying, Baoya's body is almost cold, hurry up and put on a shroud, you can't wear it if your body is hard!"
"That's it, sister-in-law, prepare the coffin first, this person who died is unlucky, you have to deal with it quickly!"
Hearing such persuasion, the middle-aged woman who had been crying stopped crying and turned to look at her two concubines, as if sparks could burst out of her eyes.
"My Baoya is not dead! you dare to curse her, I will tear your mouth apart!"
The woman was honest in nature, and if she hadn't been forced to be anxious, she wouldn't have clashed with them, and at this moment, she felt that the flesh of her heart had been dug out, and she pounced on her with a wail, and scuffled with the two concubines.
The chaos in the room tugged at Xu Zhinian's consciousness, and she finally opened her eyes and saw the three women who were twisted into a ball and couldn't tell each other.
Look at the surrounding environment - broken bricks and tiles through the walls, the newspapers on the pasted walls are yellow, and the smell of kerosene in the house makes her stomach nauseous.
"Wow...... ...... cold water churned out of her stomach, and her body arched with it.
"Bao Ya ......"
The woman pounced, her expression surprised and delighted, and hugged her tightly and howled.
Suddenly being hugged by a stranger, Xu Zhinian was a little uncomfortable, but this embrace was soft and warm, and there was a smell of food, which made her feel a sense of intimacy.
"Auntie...... Where am I?"
As soon as Xu Zhinian asked this question, the woman holding her was dumbfounded, her lips chattered for a long time, and she didn't know how to answer.
And the two people who were sitting on the ground and were torn apart glanced at each other, and there was a bit of smugness in their eyes - death is not dead, but stupid, it is better to die!
With such a poor family, you have to raise a fool in the future, and you won't be able to marry for the rest of your life, so you will eat white rice and see how the old family will live in the future!
What is the only girl in three generations, the golden girl and the silver girl are spoiled, and now she has become the only fool in the three generations!
"Sister-in-law, congratulations, Baoya is really blessed with a great fate, let's report to my father and mother!"
"Yes, yes, sister-in-law, if you don't die in a catastrophe, there will be a blessing, and the little girl of our old Xu family's three generations of single inheritance can be saved!"
The two of them were simply ecstatic, they rushed out of the courtyard together, shouting all the way: "Xu Baoya has woken up!
......
It took less than half an hour for Xu Baoya to become a fool spread throughout Xujiagouzi Village.
And in this half an hour, the proprioceptive memory gradually recovered, and Xu Zhinian probably understood her situation - she was reborn in the northeast countryside in the mid-eighties, and became the only girl among the many branches of the three generations of the old Xu family.
She is the treasure of her parents, the eyeball of her brothers, and her grandparents are not close enough, of course, because she is too favored, she is also a thorn in the eyes of her aunts.
I heard that Xu Baoya fell into the water, and the aunts stopped rubbing the buds, and the soles of their shoes were not done, so they rushed over to "help" with cotton shoes to prepare for the funeral.
Xu Zhinian's body gradually warmed up, and his memories were picked up little by little.
She knew that the woman holding her in front of her was the mother of the body, but she couldn't call the word "mother".
"I'm hungry. Xu Zhinian decided to save his life first.
As soon as she heard her say that she was hungry, Song Shuzhi burst into tears and laughed: "Mother is really confused, your stomach is empty, you must be hungry, my mother will give you a stick noodle porridge, and then boil an egg for you, you wait." ”
Soon, the aroma of food wafted from the kitchen, and Song Shuzhi was very quick with her hands and feet, so she made two large porcelain bowls and changed them back and forth, wanting to let the stick noodle porridge cool down as soon as possible and be able to eat in her mouth.
Looking at the slightly vicissitudes of life in the heat, Xu Zhinian was moved in her heart, because she was too hungry, she swept away the food in two bites, and said casually: "I still want to eat eggs." ”
A trace of bitterness flashed across Song Shuzhi's face, and this short-term panic was seen by Xu Zhinian.
"Okay, my mother will borrow it, and I'll be back in three or two minutes. ”
Xu Zhinian was a little surprised, stretched out his hand and grabbed Song Shuzhi, and said, "I'm so panicked, I won't eat it." ”
Song Shuzhi wiped the corners of her eyes, but she didn't control it, and tears still fell.
At this time, there was a commotion in the courtyard.
"Daddy, if you don't believe it, look at it yourself, I'm not blind, Baoya is so stupid, I don't even know her own mother!"
Xu Zhinian heard that this should be one of the two aunts just now, and the remaining memories told her that this was Cheng Yue'e, who had the most damaged mouth, and was a well-known shrew in Shili Eight Villages.
Soon, Cheng Yue'e walked in with an old couple.
"Look at it, it's useless! Dad, mother, I see, Baoya, you are in vain, and you still keep money for her to make new clothes during the New Year? It's better to give Da Zhuang, two fat, and three fat! In the future, this girl will be left at home, and all of us in the old Xu family will be lost!"
Xu Zhinian quietly watched her perform, this person really didn't have a city government at all, did he speak so directly?
The old woman saw that Xu Zhinian didn't squeak or scream, so she jumped up and cried, Xu Laohan, who was standing behind her, was still able to control his emotions, sniffed, and said: "Mother, don't howl, no matter what, our Baoya's life has been saved, whether it's stupid or rape, let's all live!"
As soon as she heard the old man's statement, Cheng Yue'e was very proud, and said to Song Shuzhi: "Did you hear it, sister-in-law, our parents can say it, whether you are stupid or traitorous, you have to support yourself! I see, in the future, you will not have time to farm, give my family's ten acres of land to my family, and you can concentrate on serving Baoya at home!
Song Shuzhi has a stupid mouth, often can't pour out the dumplings boiled in the teapot, at the moment she is angry and anxious, tears are rolling in her eyes - for farmers, the land is the root of life, at this time Cheng Yue'e is going to fall into the well?
She was so angry that she began to cry bitterly.
Xu Laohan sighed, walked between the two daughters-in-law, and said: "Don't quarrel, eldest daughter-in-law, you have to go out to make money when you are young, we are old and useless, it's okay to cook and feed the children, from today on, Baoya will take us to the house, and the two of us will feed!"
Hearing Xu Laohan say this, Cheng Yue'e was dumbfounded - she couldn't calculate anything, Lao Xu still had this kind of plan, could it be that a stupid granddaughter is more expensive than her grandson Jin?
