After taking a deep breath and stretching for a long time, Chen Yuxi woke up from his sleep and opened his heavy eyes.

The washed yellowed white mosquito nets, the small two-opening windows, the bulky and old tape recorder on the old writing desk, the mud walls, the mottled red wooden doors, the wooden compartments, a large mahogany box, etc., everything is so familiar.

It's not my old house, but I'm supposed to be in the school dormitory now, why is it here?

A spirit, whose head was still a little dazed, suddenly came to his senses, and he couldn't help but overflow with surprise.

This voice is not right, why is it so immature. Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, he wanted to get up and go out to explore, only to find that he was actually five short and couldn't even turn over his body, let alone get out of bed. What the hell is going on?, Xiaoxi was very uneasy.

While the brook was restlessly pondering what to do, the door opened, and a woman in her twenties with a fair and clean face, slender limbs, and a simple dress entered.

Chen's mother, who was working outside the house, was silent when she heard a small "ah" in the house, so she pushed open the door to see if her daughter was awake.

Chen's mother pushed the door in, because the room was dark, and as soon as she went in to see that the house was not clear, she missed the uneasiness and surprise that flashed in Xiaoxi's eyes.

Seeing that her daughter was grinning, squinting, and making a "clucking" sound, she walked two steps to the bed, gently picked up her daughter, and then straightened her clothes and asked softly: "Son, wake up, why are you so happy today?" ”

Looking at Chen's mother's young face and thin body, it seems that she said that she was only 104 pounds when she gave birth, so she didn't lie to herself.

The mother Chen in front of her is smiling, soft-spoken, fair-skinned, and slender, who would have thought that more than ten years later, she would become the middle-aged woman with a big belly that can't be lost no matter how much she can't lose it, a rough and loud voice, and a bold demeanor. Time, what the hell did you make my mother go through, and make my mother like this.

Seeing that her daughter was a little stunned, Chen's mother thought that she hadn't woken up, so she turned around and walked towards the writing desk, "Son, are you hungry, Mom will make you eggs to drink, ah." ”

Xiaoxi, who came back to her senses, quietly pinched her chubby little pig's trotters on the fleshy thighs, "Hiss~ It hurts, it seems that this is true, I was reborn, ahhahaha......" Xiaoxi was secretly happy in her heart.

"Son, am I wearing the wrong gender, isn't it, God tortures me like this? No, rushing eggs, I remember that I began to live on eggs and glucose after drinking my mother's milk for more than three months, because my mother was pregnant again. So, I guess that's right. Xiaoxi couldn't help but be clever when she thought about it, "If you wear the wrong gender, it's really a dog's day." ”

The sun is shining outside the house, and it's not cold this day, why are my daughters shivering one by one, "Son, do you want to pee, let's pee." ”

Chen's mother walked to the edge of the yard dam with the stream in her arms, and found a random place to urinate her daughter. Because in the countryside, everyone thinks that children's feces and urine are not dirty, and they are all muddy land, so they just find a place to put it.

Xiaoxi was still a little uneasy in the end, touched the place where he peed with his hand, and shouted loudly in his heart: "Ah, that's right, that's right." ”

Kicking her feet excitedly, Chen's mother picked up her daughter and went back to the house, and gave the frangipani she had just washed to Xiaoxi, and Xiaoxi didn't feel a sense of joy that she was reborn from within until this moment. Holding the cup, shaking his head and gulping down his "grain".

After Chen's mother washed the cup, she went out with the stream and continued to do the work she had just stopped.

After a while, the sky gradually darkened until it was completely dark. Chen's mother packed up her work and went into the kitchen to cook dinner with the stream on her back.

Dinner is very simple and fast, but it is to cook a pot of noodles, but you have to boil a pot of hot water first, and wait for the people who work to come back to wash their faces and feet, because after a day's work, they are full of sweat, and they come back to clean and eat again, which is more comfortable.

Chen's mother had just boiled a pot of hot water, and the people who were working had returned.

"Guihua, is the washing water boiled?" Before anyone came in, Father Chen's voice had already come in.

Xiaoxi looked at the four familiar relatives in the dim light, and only then did she really feel that she had been reborn.

Grandpa has always loved Xiaoxi, because she is the first child of the Chen family and the first girl in the family. When I was a child, my parents went out to work, and it was my grandparents (in this case, grandma) who took care of me, and the four of them depended on each other. Grandpa is in Xiaoxi's heart, is the pillar that supports this family, Xiaoxi always thought that grandpa would not fall, but when that day came, he was really grief-stricken, and for a while, Xiaoxi was in a mess.

Grandfather Chen Youde is 61 years old this year and has three daughters and two sons with his mother-in-law. The eldest is a daughter, named Chen Xiu, 33 years old this year, married to the Ye Jun family in the neighboring village - Jiangcun, and has two sons, the eldest Ye Xiaofeng is 9 years old this year, and the second Ye Xiaobo is 8 years old this year. The second is a daughter, named Chen Cui, 30 years old this year, married to Zhao Shun of the village, has two sons, the eldest Zhao Kang is 6 years old this year, and the second Zhao Lei is 5 years old this year. The third child is a daughter, named Chen Ping, 28 years old this year, married to the Li Lin family in the neighboring village - Lijia Village, and has a son, named Li Wen, 4 years old this year. The fourth son is a son, named Chen Wenwen, 24 years old this year, married to Luo Guihua of the village, and now the two have a daughter of more than four months - Chen Yuxi, and there is one in the belly. The youngest is a son, named Chen Wenxue, 21 years old this year, has not yet married a wife, and is now working outside.

In fact, when Xiaoxi was a child, she always complained that her mother-in-law was partial and loved her grandson. But then my brother had an accident, my grandfather also went, my parents worked outside, and I was studying outside, and the old man was alone at home, so I really felt that the old man was pitiful. I will keep the delicious food and make it for myself when I go home during the winter and summer vacations. In fact, I later understood that my mother-in-law also loves herself, but after all, the traditional concept of the older generation is that boys are passed down from generation to generation, and it is normal for them to prefer some.

After the birth of his younger brother this time, because he was fined 1,000 yuan, 1,000 yuan was very valuable in 96 years, so Chen's father left the family and went out to work.

Chen's father has done a lot of work, digging coal, moving, building construction sites, and opening restaurants. Chen's mother said that Chen's father used to be hot all year round, and once while working on a construction site, he fell from several floors, and after falling into the water, his body was cold, and he was prone to catching a cold when the seasons changed.

The village where Xiaoxi is located is called Baiya Village, which is located in Cuiyun County, G City, S Province. The village is a large area (at least the creek never covered the village), surrounded by mountains, and crossed by a small river in the middle. The village also has a large population, and the village is divided into 6 production teams, each with an average of 50 households, and Xiaoxi's family is in the second team.

Although the village has a large population, there is not much labor in the village, because the family is poor, the young people choose to go out to work to earn money, and the old people stay at home to farm. Although almost everyone in the village is poor, they basically gave birth to a second child (the second child will be fined), and then left the child to the care of grandparents.

Xiaoxi remembers that the first building in the village was built in 2001, a small store next to the village school, and the owner himself was a doctor, and built a small two-story building. Soon another commissary next to the school was built into a two-story building, but it was larger. After thinking about it for two or three years, there was a family next to Xiaoxi's house that built a building. Since then, the village has not built a building for several years, and after the 2008 earthquake, buildings in the village quickly sprung up.

Xiaoxi's house was not repaired in 2008, but in 2015, Chen's father and Chen's mother made up their minds to repair the building, and it was the courtyard house that Chen's father liked.

For a while, Xiaoxi even hated his brother because he got most of the family's attention. But when he had an accident, Xiaoxi kept complaining that she didn't treat him well.

"Well, since I have been reborn, I must prevent those bad things from happening again, so that my family can live happily and peacefully for the rest of my life. Xiaoxi secretly decided in her heart.

"What's wrong with Xiaoxi?" looked at Xiaoxi, who was silently crying, Grandpa Chen asked in surprise.

Xiaoxi, who was secretly thinking about it, didn't even notice it, and he was looking at his family in a daze, and silently shed tears.

"Aren't you hungry, make her a cup of eggs"

"If you don't eat it, you may be urinating"

"Do you want to sleep?"

Just when the whole family was in a hurry, Xiaoxi "giggled" again.

Mother Chen looked at her happy daughter who was smiling, and couldn't help but pat her twice, "You crazy girl, you've been crying and laughing all night, you're scared to death." ”

Because of Xiaoxi's sudden tears, the family hurriedly coaxed her. After coming back to her senses, Chen's mother scooped up the water in the pot and began to make noodles.

The family finally sat down at the dinner table and talked about starting to grow rape tomorrow.

Grandpa Chen, the head of the family, began to speak, "Today the land is raked, and tomorrow we will start pulling rape seedlings and planting them." ”

Looking at his wife who was not yet pregnant, Chen's father said to his Lao Tzu: "Dad, tomorrow Guihua will stay at home to pull the seedlings, and leave the creek at the head of the house." ”

Father Chen looked at his daughter, who had not turned over and had thinning hair for nearly five months, sleeping soundly in his wife's arms, and said to Guihua, "Put Xiaoxi on the bed." ”

Chen's mother picked up Xiaoxi and put her on the bed in the bedroom, covered the quilt, and then went back to the kitchen.

Father Chen: They have already discussed how to distribute tomorrow's work. Chen's mother saw that everyone had almost eaten, so she began to clean up the dishes and the kitchen, and after everything was done, she and Chen's father went back to the bedroom to sleep.

After going to bed and turning off the lights, lying on the bed, Chen's father whispered: "Guihua, you will be pulling seedlings at the top of the house tomorrow, but you also have to pay attention to yourself, you are only more than two months now, be careful." ”

Chen's mother nodded and agreed, "Well, I know, I'll pay attention." ”

"Well, sleep. ”

Xiaoxi, who had eavesdropped on the conversation between his parents for a while, looked at the two who had fallen asleep hugging each other, yawned quietly, closed his eyes, and planned to go to sleep again, but in the dark night he felt that his eyes were white.
