Chapter 1: A Tragedy Caused by a Dollar
"Shhhh It hurts!"
Covering his somewhat swollen cheeks, Qin Xu sat up a little dazedly.
At this moment, he only felt dizzy, and there was still some hot pain on his left cheek.
"W-Where is this?"
With a glimmer of light from the window next to him, Qin Xu's somewhat drowsy head finally regained a trace of consciousness.
However, the familiar and somewhat unfamiliar scene in front of him made him feel as if he was in a dream.
The old white mosquito net, with a few patches, looked so familiar.
The thin blanket on his body is also a little familiar,
The slightly rough straw mat under his body perfectly coincides with the memories of his childhood.
"Isn't this grandpa's bedroom?"
Just as he wanted to raise his hand and rub his eyes, Qin Xu suddenly noticed a trace of strangeness.
Taking his left hand in front of his eyes and looking at it carefully, Qin Xu's eyes, which were still a little confused, suddenly opened to the maximum.
"No, it won't, it's not scientific!"
Putting his other hand in front of his eyes and looking at it, Qin Xu looked down at his body and feet again, and was suddenly a little dumbfounded.
"How so?"
After being stunned for a long time, there was only one thought left in Qin Xu's heart.
Isn't today my big day?
Why did you return to your hometown in a blink of an eye?
Moreover, the body has become so small?
Is this a dream?
Still is...
Shaking his head vigorously, Qin Xu threw the unrealistic idea in his mind to the back of his mind.
Although he read a lot of rebirth novels, he never thought that he would encounter such a day.
The dark environment made Qin Xu a little uncomfortable.
The little hands that were too small to know how many they were were subconsciously touched to the side.
Smack!
As the dim light lit up, it also allowed Qin Xu to really see the scene in front of him clearly.
The familiar adobe walls, covered with yellowed old newspapers, looked even more old in the dim light.
Through the worn white mosquito net, the familiar old-fashioned incandescent light bulb also appeared in Qin Xu's sight.
It was still as it was remembered, with a soft bright yellow glow
Turning his head to the left, near the head of the bed, there was a brand new snakeskin bag behind the old white mosquito net.
Looking at the brand-new snakeskin bag with a few eye-catching black characters, Qin Xu was a little stupid for a while.
Stanley compound fertilizer
This name that once accompanied Qin Xu and slept together in his childhood.
This is a name that he can clearly see in his childhood, before every time he goes to bed.
was caught off guard, and appeared in front of him again.
"It's... Is this true?"
Raising his hand, which was much smaller, Qin Xu put it in front of him and observed it carefully.
He couldn't tell if he was dreaming or not.
If it's a dream, why do you feel it so clearly?
If it's not a dream, where is it?
Could it be that I really...
Just when Qin Xu was a little confused, there was a faint sound of quarrel outside the old-fashioned glass window.
"Don't talk nonsense with me, let me tell you, as long as I Qin Fu has a bite to eat, I won't be hungry for Xiao Xu, and I won't need her to give alms. ”
"But Xiaoxu is still a child, you have a fire to send to her, what is the matter with the child?"
"What's the matter, what's wrong with me beating my own grandson?
Listening to the familiar quarrel outside, Qin Xu trembled with excitement, and tears instantly overflowed his eyes.
It's grandpa!
That's right.
That familiar roar, who else can there be in the family except grandpa?
Holding his much smaller head with both hands, Qin Xu muttered to himself:
"But didn't grandpa just pass away last year? Are you really back?"
The quarrel outside the window lasted for a long time.
It's exactly the same as the scene in my memory, and it still ends with grandma's concession in the end.
Stroking his somewhat red and swollen face, Qin Xu also found the cause and effect of this quarrel from his messy and complicated memories.
It's a fuck up thing to say, really fuck up.
The cause of the incident actually originated from a dollar!
That's right, just a dollar!
This year should be 1994, at this time I am already eleven years old, and I am in the town's elementary school, in the fifth grade.
Just this morning, when class was in class, his mother, who had remarried to another town, came to visit him at school.
When he was leaving, he gave him a dollar and asked him to buy snacks for himself.
Originally, this was a very happy thing, but it turned into a tragedy by Qin Xu himself!
Children, I can't hide things in my heart.
As soon as he came back from school at noon, he excitedly held up a dollar and showed off to his grandparents.
The result can be imagined...
The temper was already very hot, and because of the recent accident with his father, the grandfather, whose temper had become more irritable, directly rewarded him with a big ear scraper.
This ear scraper blindfolded Qin Xu at that time.
On the white little face, a few incomparably clear finger prints instantly floated.
Thinking of this, Qin Xu couldn't help but shudder, and felt a faint pain in his left face.
This is thanks to his grandmother protecting him, otherwise, it is estimated that the left and right faces will be symmetrical.
As for the culprit's dollar?
Unfortunately, my grandfather tore them into several pieces and threw them in the small pond next to the house.
Crunch...
The dilapidated wooden door of the bedroom let out a terrible howl, and was carefully pushed open from the outside.
Qin Xu subconsciously looked back, and a familiar figure came into view.
Grandma, who had become much younger than she remembered, walked in with her eyes a little red and swollen.
Seeing Qin Xu sitting on the bed, grandma also sat on the edge of the bed and asked in a gentle voice:
"Why don't you sleep for a while, and then go to school in the afternoon. ”
Looking at his grandmother's originally somewhat gray hair, but now it has become black again, Qin Xu's spirit is a little trance-like.
But when he opened his mouth, he couldn't speak.
Seeing this, the grandmother thought that the little grandson was in a mood because he was beaten, so she comforted softly:
"Okay, Xiao Xu, don't think about it, your father is not a little angry because of your father's affairs, don't be afraid, just sleep well and you'll be fine." ”
Daddy?
At this time, he should still be in the detention center, right?
Thinking of his father, Zhang Xu felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
Some are sad, but some are sympathetic.
Seeing that Qin Xu still didn't speak, grandma simply stood up by herself and helped him to lie on the bed.
"Obedient, sleep first, and I'll wake you up when I go to school. ”
Qin Xu didn't resist, and lay down very obediently.
Of course, his current small body can't resist.
After Qin Xu lay down, his grandmother picked up the sheet on the side and helped him cover his little belly, then turned around and walked out again.
As the broken wooden door was carefully closed, Qin Xu's tears could no longer be held back, and they flowed down his slightly red and swollen cheeks.
Are you really back?
But he didn't have the joy of being born again,
Yes, it's just bursts of indescribable sourness...
