Chapter 1: The Girl

Next Chapter

The candlelight illuminated the dinner on the wooden table, a pot of cabbage and soup, and three bowls of rice mixed with bud flour, and a small retort in the corner of the table.

Noodles are not the kind of noodles that northerners understand, but the powder after the bud grain has been crushed, and many southerners call this noodles.

There is a layer of oil on the surface of the soup, and these are the dinners of Guo Qu and Xiaojing and their grandfathers in their sixties.

If you skip the food on the table and put it in the afterlife, some people may think that it is a candlelight dinner, but the real reason is ...... There is no electricity in the village.

"Let's eat!"

Guo went to grandpa and said a word, and the two of them picked up the bowl to eat.

Xiaojing is Guo Qu's younger sister, less than two years old this year, and Guo Qu is almost ten years old, the two brothers and sisters were born in the same day, but not in the same year, this is fate.

Originally, in order to save money, the family usually lit kerosene lamps, but today the kerosene ran out, and in order to be able to eat brightly, I took out the only candle at home.

The girl looked very well-behaved, of course, it can also be said to be afraid, after all, she was less than two years old, and the light from the candle was too weak.

In addition, the sudden departure of the two mothers last year made the girl have a shadow in her heart, so except for her brother and grandfather, she was afraid of everyone she saw.

Of course, the prototype of autism that later generations said was like this. However, most rural people have autism, so it's nothing, for example, Guo Qu also has it, but it's not serious, so speaking of it, this autism is not a big deal.

It was the end of the summer of '94, the day after Guo Qu was bitten by a poisonous snake, a special day for a ten-year-old child with a nearly thirty-year-old soul in his head.

Rebirth!

After a long time, Guo Qu reluctantly believed it, as for the reason, his leg hurt all the time, which made him believe that he was not dreaming.

Reborn, is it happy or sad?

In the previous life, the girl was unfortunately drowned in the water, which made him feel guilty for a lifetime, and now that he is reborn, everything will change, so to speak, it should be happy.

But after being reborn, his body was so small that he couldn't get too far from home, which made him very helpless.

And what made him most helpless was that the right leg of his body after being reborn was swollen to the size of an adult, and from the memories he had forgotten many years ago, as well as the conversations of the villagers, he knew that he had been bitten by a poisonous snake, and it was a poisonous soldering iron!

Yesterday, I found a local doctor to treat the wound, and with the medicine and wine given by the local doctor, it is estimated that it will take two weeks to get better.

In this way, after returning from rebirth, he did not start to get rich with a bang, but at home...... Recuperate.

So overall, it's still a good thing.

……

His thoughts were flying, and he always remembered that when he was nine years old, when his sister was one year old, his mother gave him five cents to take good care of his sister, and then he never saw his mother again.

His younger sister, a one-year-old sister, cried and called her mother every day for a month, but she didn't want to do it every day, and she didn't want to do it.

And then for the second month I continued to cry, but I just didn't call my mother anymore, why was that?

Because...... Habit.

When his mother left, he didn't cry because his tears had long since dried up. In his previous life, when he was young, he blamed his mother, but later he became sensible, so he didn't hate it, but he transferred his hatred for his mother to his father.

There is no hatred for no reason, there is no love for no reason, people are selfish, you will only be good to others if others are good to you, at least for children.

It was ninety-four years, he was almost ten years old, he was supposed to be in the fourth grade, but unfortunately he never entered the classroom again.

To be precise, he hasn't been to school since he was eight years old.

His father was a man who didn't want to make progress all day long, preferring to lie in bed hungry than cook.

He begged his father to let him go to school, but his father prevaricated with "no money".

At that time, he was still young and didn't understand anything, but he really liked the leisurely days at school.

When he was in the first grade of elementary school, he won the first place in the final entrance exam.

It's just that the family has no money, so he can't enter the classroom anymore.

How poor is Guo's family?

His clothes, all of which were worn by the neighbor's children, his shoes, well, straw sandals made of straw himself.

Even so, in the summer, he will choose to go shirtless, because it can wear clothes for a longer time.

Straight to the point.

After the girl finished eating, the drowsiness came, and the grandfather naturally refused to light more candles in order to save money, so he had to go to sleep after eating, which was the life and rest law of most people in this era.

The girl is afraid of the dark, and she used to sleep next to Guo, but Guo Qu's leg was seriously injured in the past two days, so the girl temporarily slept with her grandfather.

Lying quietly on the bed, the room where he slept was a wing room, with two windows, and he usually slept ajar at night, and the croaking of frogs and insects came into his ears endlessly, and of course the moonlight sprinkled seamlessly on the wooden planks in the wing.

What should he do in this life?

Thinking that he was less than ten years old, he wanted to cry.

As he looks like now, it is estimated that he was arrested by traffickers before he arrived in the county seat.

So the idea of going out was directly nipped in the bud.

But it was only ninety-four years, and seeing that the villagers went to the market yesterday and didn't even want to eat the lunch sold on the street, he knew that he couldn't find a place to pick up waste unless he went to the city, but how could his grandfather let him enter the city with confidence?

Lying quietly on the bed, he hit the back hill with his mind.

The next morning, Guo went to get up and pushed the people in the side room hard, and at the same time the fear on her face was fully revealed, only when she saw Guo Go, she would put away her fear and smile.

His grandfather must have gone to the local doctor's house again, after all, he was poor, and the family had no money to pay for the medical bills, so he had to pay it with labor.

This made Guo Qu very unhappy, after all, his grandfather was over sixty years old and was still working hard for him, and he was like a wasted person......

The girl gets up early every day, and she has to stay with Guo after waking up, Guo went to analyze it, maybe it is because of the child's insecurity.

"Xiaojing came over and said to the pot, what is grandpa's name today?"

Guo went to reach out and carry his sister to the sofa to sit, and the fear on the girl's face disappeared at this time.

"Anyway, my grandfather told me to look at the pots and pans, and asked people to feed the pots. ”

"What about the rice?"

"The rice hasn't been cooked yet. The girl said a little embarrassed, "Grandpa went out with a hoe, and said that he would cook for us when he came back." ”

The girl is very well-behaved, maybe she didn't have a mother since she was a child, and then her father was not angry, so although she was only two years old, she was very sensible, after all, the children of poor families were in charge of the house early.

"Xiaojing, go and get a wooden stick for the pot, and cook for my sister. ”

The girl obediently got out of bed, went to the stove and took a long wooden stick, and laboriously took it to the side room.

At this time, Guo Qu had already held on to the wall, walked to the door, took the wooden stick handed over by the girl's hands, and slowly walked to the stove.

The girl obediently followed behind him, and put her own small wooden stool in front of the stove for Guo to sit on.

Guo went to see this, his heart warmed, he had been up and down in society for decades in his previous life, and he had already cultivated a numb heart, but at this time, it was gradually warm.
