Chapter 1: Death and Life
When the soul floated in the air and listened to the cry in my ear, I knew that I had died, looking at my son, who was still thin and pale at the age of 30, crying and almost fainting, and my daughter-in-law was standing aside with her grandson, who was already two years old and still walking, just watching, there was not much sadness.
"Okay, don't cry, your mother has already left, don't let him go, you have to be careful of your body." These are the words of my husband, who is still looking very young at the age of 50, who is a general wearing a military uniform.
If I had to have any regrets in my life, it would be my son's body and my daughter, who died young.
β¦β¦ Listen to the cries that are fading away...... Until silence...... I'm waiting, waiting for the legendary bull and horse noodles......
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
...... "daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, I'm hungry......
...... "Daughter-in-law, get up quickly, I'm hungry." ββ¦β¦
...... "Hurry up, hurry up"......
Who is speaking, and why is it not audible?
"Hurry up, I'm hungry"
I heard it clearly, someone was whispering in my ear that I was hungry, who was this person, why did it feel familiar, wasn't I dead? Where was this? There were so many questions that someone could answer for me.
...... "Daughter-in-law, get up quickly, I'm hungry, you cook for me." ββ¦β¦ This time, I heard it clearly, it was the voice of an elderly woman, calling her daughter-in-law to cry out in my ear for hunger.
I tried hard to open my eyes and look at this strange and familiar person in front of me, this is, this is ...... "mother-in-law", how can it be a mother-in-law, isn't my mother-in-law already dead for 20 years?
...... "Daughter-in-law, are you awake?" ......
Yes, I understand, this is the underworld, the old people often say that after people die, you can see the people who died before, it seems that I am to the underworld, why is this underworld so similar to my family's previous house, didn't we burn the house for my mother? It seems that my mother-in-law is confiscated, otherwise I can't live in this former broken house.
The door opened with a bang, "Old sister-in-law, your pillar daughter-in-law has just given birth, can't she get up to cook for you, I'll bring you food, eat quickly." He turned his head to look at me and said with a smile, "Zhuzi's daughter-in-law is awake, it just so happens that Aunt Guo has brought you something to eat, take a bite, you are really amazing, you gave birth to two at once, dragon and phoenix fetuses! β
Aunt Guo, giving birth to a child, a dragon and phoenix fetus, an old house, and a mother-in-law, this is, isn't this an underworld?
"What is this child staring at, he hasn't woken up yet, you, I gave birth last night, I gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, and it was a little more difficult, but fortunately, you and the child are okay."
The "child" looked around with his eyes, but did not see the child.
"Hey, you just gave birth to a child without milk, and the child was hungry and crying, so you hugged me to my house, and asked my daughter-in-law to feed you, and I will bring you back in a while, don't think about that, come and eat something, so that you can take care of your body." β
Mu Ran listened to Aunt Guo's words, eating the millet porridge it put in my hand, but thinking about what was going on in my head?
First, I lived to be 50 years old and died, and second, when I opened my eyes, I went back to when I gave birth, according to Aunt Guo's words, it should be the second day after I gave birth, then this is 1970, summer, June 16th.
β¦β¦
I married Sun Jinzhu at the age of 18, and I married Zhu Zi for a month, and then he returned to the army, leaving me and my mother-in-law at home.
Three months after the pillar left, I found out that I was pregnant, and when I waited for six months, I knew that I was pregnant with twins, because my belly was bigger than other people's eight months, and I began to have seizures one night in the ninth month of pregnancy, because it was twins, so I was born a month prematurely, and the child was born on June 15.
It took a lot of effort to give birth to two children, I fell asleep for a day, and when I woke up in my memory, it was also because my mother-in-law was hungry, so I woke up, and then Aunt Guo took it to eat, and it was also Aunt Guo who helped me take care of the two children, after the full moon, I still had no milk, and the two children grew up with rice soup, because of the twins, it was difficult to give birth when they were born, and the bodies of the two children were very thin from an early age when they could not eat breast milk, and the children had a serious illness when they were one year old, and the daughter died, and the son survived, and his health was even worse, until I died, his body was not well raisedγ
During this period, I also sent a letter to the pillar, but there has been no reply, their troops have been fighting and have not received a letter at all, the last life was when his son was ten years old he came back, and within a few years his mother-in-law died, later, his rank became higher and higher, by the time I died he was already a general, I did not have a good conditioning because of the dystocia back then, my health has always been bad and crooked, and I died at the age of 50, this is my last life.
β¦β¦
After thinking about this, I think about it now, I have returned to the time when I gave birth to a child, just like in my previous life, it was still eaten by Aunt Guo, and I helped me take care of my two children, since I have lived once, I have to save my daughter's life and take care of my son's body.
