"The three wounded officers are on the sheep's blade, and the four pillars are born childless. Everything in the world is fate, and it can't help but be ...... at all" The strange tone of chatter sounded, accompanied by the miserable screams of women crying in the raging fire, and the sound came......

Suddenly, I realized that I gradually broke free from the strange nightmare of heat and suffocation, opened my eyes and exhaled heavy turbidity, my forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat, and even the dry and yellow hair on my head was wet. The drowsiness has not subsided, and the fragments of the dream seem to be still turning under the eyes, Xu Ning has had such dreams several times in the past six months.

When I sat up, I was greeted by the old room, with mottled dirt walls, shabby furnishings, and few pieces of furniture.

No wonder my chest has been very suffocated just now, it turned out to be a big quilt pressed on my body, and on a hot day, I was pressed with such a quilt, giving a sweat. But after sweating, my body was much more relaxed, and when I touched my forehead, the fever subsided.

It was 1983, the second day of the eighth lunar month, in a remote mountain village, in the middle of the day, the weather was humid and sultry.

I heard a voice talking outside, changed out of my sweaty clothes, and walked out with my shoes on.

Although it is an old house, the yard is very clean. The sun is shining all over the small courtyard, a few pots of flowers are blooming on the east wall, the thatched firewood on the west wall is piled up fast and the eaves are high, and the green seedlings and shoots in large pots and small pots on the windowsill make the courtyard look very elegant.

Xu Ning's mother Li Xiumei sat on the soles of her shoes in the courtyard, and the woman with a loud voice at the gate of the courtyard was Xu Ning's second aunt Liu Chunhua, with a towering forehead and a narrow and short person, her eyes wandering, her voice as piercing as a broken gong, the standard narrow-minded and villainous face, and the children's palace was empty and childless. The fact is also the same, the two of them have been married to the second uncle for many years and have no children. During this time, I heard that the two were discussing and preparing to adopt a child and come back.

"I said sister-in-law, in this situation of your family, don't let A-Ning go to junior high school again, why do you use the girl to read so many books, it's better to get married early, the only son of the Zhao family in Qianyun Village next door is said to buy a child daughter-in-law, as long as the daughter of whom's family is willing to go to his house, he will give a large bride price. ”

Chunhua sighed after speaking, with a pity on her face, as if she hated that she didn't have a daughter to marry his family.

"Chunhua, don't lie, everyone knows that dementia son of the Zhao family, whose good daughter is willing to marry such a person, no matter how poor my family is, I can't push A-Ning to the fire pit. ”

Li Xiumei bluntly rejected such kindness. Li Xiumei is a weak and slender woman, and even speaks softly and slowly, most people in the countryside will not want such a woman, because they can't do heavy work in the field.

Liu Chunhua still didn't give up, and pretended to persuade: "Then how did you raise two children as a woman, and I heard that the baby who is in junior high school is going to live in the county, and the tuition fee is very expensive, and the living expenses will cost a lot of money every month, so let's plant that little bit of land!"

After speaking, there was a ruthless flash in her eyes, after her mother-in-law passed away three months ago, no one favors this woman now, just because she gave birth to a small stone for the Xu family, and she has been married for ten years, and she has no sons and half daughters, and her mother-in-law hated her very much before her death, and the relationship between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is very bad. Now that the old woman is gone, this sister-in-law is weak and soft-natured, and she is not bullied by her. Moreover, the matchmaker also said that as long as her family agreed to this marriage, she would also give her a sum of money at that time.

Sure enough, Li Xiumei frowned when she heard the words of tuition, but she quickly expanded it again, and said euphemistically: "I'll talk about it later, A-Ning studied well and was admitted to a middle school, and the teacher said that she must be allowed to go to junior high school, as for the family...... It's a big deal, I'll just go out and do odd jobs more in the future. ”

"Sister-in-law, to put it mildly, A-Ning is not the biological daughter of the eldest brother, if you do this, you see how thin the stones are, the second dog next door is half a head taller than him at the same age as him. ”

"The stone is a few months younger than the second dog, and it is normal to be shorter. ”

Chunhua still didn't give up and raised her voice and asked: "Sister-in-law, what will you do if Shi also goes to junior high school in the future? You can't afford two children to study all the time? Or let Shi not study, and give Ah Ning the opportunity to go to school, like that, how can the eldest brother and in-laws be safe underground!"

When Li Xiumei heard this embarrassing answer, Xu Ning said in time: "Second aunt, if you don't cook again, the second uncle will come back now!"

When the sun was approaching noon, the second uncle was a temper tantrum, although he was usually afraid of Liu Chunhua's mother's family, but because she did not give birth to a son and a half daughter to him, he scolded her at every turn in the past two years, and sometimes he did it.

Liu Chunhua looked at Xu Ning, her eyes were sharp, as if she was flashing with a knife, and her heart was inexplicably a little creepy. Looking up at the sun, the secret saying is not good, sure enough, it is not too early to go home and cook food, and my man will lose his temper when he comes back without food. After scolding the mother and daughter with hatred in their hearts, they finally silenced themselves and stopped talking, and went back to the front yard in a gloomy manner.

"Why did it come out, the illness was just right, but I can't blow the wind. ”

Li Xiumei looked at her daughter worriedly, her almond-like face was bloodless, sallow and sallow, although she was twelve years old, she looked like she was about ten years old at most, and her face was full of distress.

The afternoon before yesterday there was a thunderstorm, and the family was in a hurry to harvest the grain, which was a year's rations, and in the end the mother and daughter were still drenched in water, Xu Ning had a fever that night, and got out of bed in a drowsy day yesterday.

Xu Ning walked up to her and sat down and whispered, "It's okay, come out and breathe." ”

Xu Ning only recovered the memory of his previous life half a year ago, and relied on the memory of his previous life to start cultivating. In her previous life, she was the daughter of the master of Wujimen, and after her father passed away, she was in charge of the affairs of the door, but later because of that man, she was tragically destroyed, but she didn't expect her to be reincarnated. According to the eight characters born in this body now, it is an ordinary person, but this is what Xu Ning wants.

Li Xiumei was abandoned by Xu Ning's father when Xu Ning was three years old, and was kicked out of the house by her brother and sister-in-law not long after her mother's house. A year later, Li Xiumei gave birth to her younger brother Xu Lei is Xiaoshi, but her father died when she went to sea with her grandfather three years ago and encountered a tsunami.

After the death of my father, the life of the family was more difficult, but fortunately, my grandmother secretly relieved her, but my grandmother also passed away three months ago, without the protection of my grandmother, and my mother's gentle temperament, the second aunt will become more and more domineering, and often want to bully their family. When the family was separated, their family lived in the new house in front, and Xu Ning's family lived in the dilapidated old house in the back.

Although the house is dilapidated, they clean it up, and there are a lot of flowers and plants planted in the yard.

I was about to ask where the stone went when there was a scolding sound from the front yard, it was the second uncle who came back.

"Dead mother-in-law, lazy mother-in-law, where did you go to be lazy in the morning, the food is not good yet, I want to starve to death!"

Xu Ergui didn't know where to go until he came back in the morning, and when he entered the door and saw that Chunhua was cooking, he scolded, especially when he saw that the house was still in a mess, and he didn't clean up at all, and the anger came out.

"It's almost ......" Chunhua saw that his face was full of anger, his eyes were dodgy, and he could only respond in vain, blaming him for talking to his sister-in-law in the back just now, forgetting the time, his own man had a temper tantrum, and it was very scary when he was angry.

Sure enough, he turned over and kicked that in the house, and finally saw that there was no movement, and he knew that his anger was probably gone, so he dared to ask him to eat.

After the meal was ready, the weather was hot, and the two of them ate under the big tree in the yard, and Chunhua asked about Ergui raising the child.

Su Ergui frowned, and Huo Dao: "Don't mention it, that family is willing to sell that child for five hundred yuan!"

"Five hundred yuan! But our family is less than thirty yuan......

"It's not that you, a useless woman with a bad stomach, like waste, still eat so much every day, Lao Tzu just uses this grain to feed the pigs and sell it for some money, but all these years of treating you and taking medicine have emptied your family, and you still can't get pregnant!"

Chunhua listened to her man start counting her down again, and immediately thought of the previous conversation with Li Xiumei, and lowered her eyes to think about it.

"Or ...... married A-Ning secretly, anyway, she is not the daughter of our Xu family, and after raising her all these years, she should do something for our Xu family. ”

"This ...... Sister-in-law knows that she will definitely make trouble!" Xu Ergui was a little disapproving.
