Chapter 3 What is it?
In the previous life, the mother and daughter lived until they were seventeen years old. Liu Lianhua easily saved enough for a down payment, bought a second-hand house, and moved out of here with her to a new home in Dongmen. Later, Gu Xiaoxiao got married, moved into the house at the north gate, and never came back.
Looking up, the gray-blue sky is cut into small and irregular shapes by residential buildings of different heights, and the clutter of cables is interspersed with them, and the occasional bird from nowhere stops on it.
Old buildings are lined up, one next to the other, and mischievous children ride planks from one building to the other in pursuit of wild cats, or cats play a game of hide and seek under the cover of drying sheets.
In order to gain a foothold in the rapidly developing city, the adults of the old buildings are immersed in the busyness of work all the time, and no one will have the energy to stop their dangerous actions.
Gu Xiaoxiao's childhood, like most of her peers, grew up freely in the corridors of the floors, and she also loved to scurry around on the planks. But now....
Her little person looked up at the sky with her neck up, and every time a little warrior flew over this wooden plank at once, she would scare Gu Xiaoxiao: "Be careful, don't run around!" She couldn't help but look at this group of children having fun with the thinking of an adult: "Oh, be careful of falling." ”
The milky voice reminded the old women and grandfathers around her: "This little girl of the Gu family has grown up, and she knows how to remind others to be careful." Gu Xiaoxiao's collapse belt has not been dismantled, and it seems that she will be reminded again and again because of her lingering palpitations.
"This fall has made everyone sensible. In the midst of everyone's ridicule, her face was flushed, and she wanted to find a place to get in, and wanted to stay at home, but the house was too boring.
Ms. Liu Lianhua went to work early in the morning with her bag on her back, and so did Comrade Gu Jiayang, he didn't have a serious job, but he was elusive all day long, making people unable to move.
What can she do alone, the patterns on the wallpaper are almost clear. Just like before, he hung a bunch of keys around his neck, stepped on the small bench and opened the door to have fun, and there was the previous scene.
Gu Xiaoxiao was sitting on the small bench, her whole body shrunk into a ball, and she couldn't cover her chubby face with one hand to try to avoid laughter, obviously she was an adult, why was her face so thin. As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Gu Jiayang riding a bicycle through his fingers, and quickly stood up and shouted loudly: "Dad!" and then flew over like a small cannonball.
Six-year-old Gu Xiaoxiao is still quite thin, the only thing that has grown on her face is that her nose is small and round, her lips are small, her eyes are big, and she has inherited Gu Jiayang's double eyelids, and she has not worn glasses because of her future studies, and her eyelashes are as long as a fan.
"Ouch, ouch, my good baby. Gu Jiayang parked the car by the tree with a beautiful tail flick, and after getting down, he bent down and picked up Gu Xiaoxiao, he carefully avoided Gu Xiaoxiao's bandaged arm, and rubbed against her little fat face for a while: "Look, what is this?"
Gu Xiaoxiao was pricked painfully but couldn't help but smirk, her little face was already slightly red, and she still cooperated to guess the bag he was carrying: "Yes... It must be a doll!" Gu Jiayang said yesterday that he wanted to buy her a doll, and he will definitely buy it for her today.
Gu Jiayang's smile was a little reluctant, but he still took out a big slap doll from his pocket, as if it was ripped off from the trinkets posted at the mall's activities, he looked at his daughter, worried that she would cry in the next second.
"Dad has no money recently, and when he has money in the future, he will buy us a very big doll for Xiaoxiao. Gu Xiaoxiao looked at the little doll in her hand, she seemed to have had this in her previous life, but at that time, Xiaoxiao cried and threw the doll far away when she saw it, so that Gu Jiayang borrowed money to buy her a doll.
However, Gu Xiaoxiao in this life will not be so childish, so she put her mouth on it: "Dad, I love you, Xiaoxiao likes this doll so much." Gu Jiayang's eyes were red, and he looked at Xiaoxiao, who was smiling heartlessly, a little sadly, and unexpectedly moved his heart for the first time to find a serious job.
Gu Xiaoxiao looked carefully at the doll in her arms, to be honest, it was really ugly, saying that it was a little doll, but it was like cutting a piece of wood at random, using inferior paint to point out the muddled facial features, and then putting a rag on the outside.
Gu Jiayang just came back to cook food for Xiaoxiao, Liu Lianhua was going to work in the textile factory very early in the morning, especially when it seemed that she was going to lay off employees recently, she didn't dare to be lazy for a moment, and she couldn't wait to be there half an hour early to make herself appear diligent.
Generally speaking, Xiaoxiao and her mother wake up at the same time, get up at six o'clock to eat a boiled egg, and then wait until almost eleven o'clock, Gu Jiayang comes back to cook for her.
After eating, Gu Jiayang rode his bicycle out again, I don't know what he does, but he always has a little income at the end of the day, at least he can bring Xiaoxiao a peanut crisp. During this period, the husband and wife let Gu Xiaoxiao play by herself, and she could go out but not out of the yard.
It is also the 91st year of Hong's citizen style that is quite simple, and the old people around them spontaneously take care of each other and the children in the old building, so that Gu Xiaoxiao can grow up safely.
The house is indeed poor and white, with pictures of Xiaoxiao pasted on the walls, only two beds, a mirrored wardrobe, a low cabinet and dining table with pots and pans, and a few low stools stacked on top of each other. I don't even have a TV, but I do have a radio, but I don't use it much at home, so I put it in the corner.
Gu Xiaoxiao took off the infrared sleeve embroidered with a little mouse on her body and put it on the bed, leaving only a pale yellow thin cotton shirt and dark blue cotton pants.
She stepped on her small cloth shoes to the low stool, leaned on the wall and looked at the picture of the calendar, 1991, no matter what, was an era full of opportunities for Xiaoxiao.
Gu Jiayang made fried rice in the corridor, soaked the cold rice a little with a little hot water, and then poured it into the pot and stir-fried and added the chopped lettuce leaves, and the fragrance came out. Gu Xiaoxiao's stomach gurgled and screamed, "Xiaoxiao! take an egg from under the bed and give it to Dad." ”
Gu Xiaoxiao responded, confirming that she was in a very good mood after being reborn, and jumped off the bench with some trepidation, but the movement was too loud, and the keychain and the wooden doll smashed around her eyes.
First, the wooden doll smashed on the eye, only to feel that the right eye was black, and then felt a sharp pain in the delicate eyelids, as if it had been cut by the key, "Ahh
Gu Xiaoxiao could feel the warm liquid flowing down, and she froze in place as if she was frozen, not daring to move. It wasn't until Gu Jiayang couldn't wait to come in from the outside and looked at his daughter squatting on the ground that he asked a little anxiously, "What's wrong, are you dizzy?"
Gu Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, as if returning to the moment when she was hit by a car, and felt that the blood on her head was flowing down as if she didn't need money. His mouth trembled and he said with a crying voice: "Dad, my eye was smashed by the key." He broke Gu Xiaoxiao's hand, looked left and right, but found that there were no scars, just a little red.
"It's okay, Dad won't hurt if you blow it. "Gu Jiayang still likes this girl, and now that family planning is strict, it is probably just this girl, so he doesn't have the idea of patriarchy, he is naturally very spoiled. Gu Xiaoxiao was a little strange when she heard this, her hand was lowered from above her eyes, and there was no trace of blood on her white and tender palm.
She touched it again and it didn't seem to hurt, the fire outside was not related yet, Gu Jiayang coaxed her daughter for a while, put her on the bed and continued to stir-fry.
Staying, Gu Xiaoxiao touched her forehead alone, took it down and looked at it, and finally put her hand under her nose and sniffed it for a while, only to be sure that there would be a faint smell of blood.
Where did his blood go? Gu Xiaoxiao's heart was worried for a while, afraid that she would not be a human being if she was reborn once. I suddenly noticed that there was a small black and blue dot on my thumb, and there were oval lines at the junction of the first and second parts of my thumb, which looked like an eye.
Gu Xiaoxiao's texture is tightly sewn and complete, and now there is this small dot again, but it is more like an eye, and it is evil! Gu Xiaoxiao felt that the phoenix eye pattern on her thumb blinked.
A white, blinding light shone on her, and she fell asleep. When Gu Xiaoxiao woke up, it was in a transparent round container, Gu Xiaoxiao forced herself to calm down, and carefully observed that there was no water in the container, and it was not difficult to breathe, there should be oxygen.
She raised her hand and knocked on the transparent shell, and found that the structure was very strong. No matter how much strength he used, he didn't move at all, and his hands didn't hurt at all, as if he was hitting the air that he could see, and after trying it, Gu Xiaoxiao sat down and retained his strength.
"What the hell, is it reincarnation now?" she thought a little angrily, and she didn't know what she had encountered, the prosthetic eye on her thumb was motionless at this moment, and she didn't even move her mouth to bite it.
Gu Xiaoxiao was a little scared, she had just experienced the happiness of her parents together, would she lose it so soon?
Unconsciously Xiaoxiao's eyes were filled with tears, and her lower lip was bitten tightly, leaning against the wall of the container.
Fortunately, it didn't seem to make her uncomfortable for too long, the transparent shell slowly softened, Gu Xiaoxiao first stood up slightly against the part behind her, and before she could stand firmly, she saw a circle of shiny stones floating up and turning in circles towards her.
