Chapter 1: A Blessing in Disguise

Next Chapter

Nanlu City ushered in the annual wave of resignation, Li Chen stood outside the station, turned to look at the busy people outside the street, and smiled silently.

There was no sigh or ridicule on his face, and he said secretly: "It seems that I still can't get used to the fast-paced life!"

——

Sitting in the car home, looking at the fleeting scenery outside the car window, my eyes gradually blurred.

After graduating from junior high school in 10, he went out to work with his relatives, worked as an apprentice, entered a construction site, worked as a waiter and ran sales, and so on. …… Six years have passed in the blink of an eye. I'm tired of the deceit between the cities, and all kinds of systems like getting up early and being greedy for darkness.

Looking out the window at the neon of the city that was gradually moving away, Li Chen muttered to himself: "With the 200,000 yuan I have saved from my part-time job in the past six years. Returning home to marry a virtuous wife, planting some fruit trees, raising some poultry, occasionally going up to the mountains to hunt, and then taking time out to play, this is the life I want. ”

Just when Li Chen was about to fall asleep in a daze, the car suddenly shook. Before Li Chen could react, his forehead hit the iron railing next to the car window.

Suddenly, it was dark in front of me, and I passed out.

"This driver can't see that I'm more handsome than him!" Li Chen thought subconsciously before he passed out.

When Li Chen regained consciousness, a woman's voice came from his ears in a daze.

"Doctor, doctor, my son is awake! ”

After a while, there was a jumble of footsteps.

Just as I tried to open my eyes, I felt a tingling pain in my brain and fainted again.

When he woke up again, he found that it was already night, and there was no one in the room, but looking at the quilt embroidered with red cross and the interior of the house, Li Chen was sure that he was in the hospital.

He now felt better than ever, as if he had slept for days and nights, and his nose could smell the mixture of disinfectant and medicine.

When I saw a little wilted orchid on the windowsill, I felt the longing from the orchid, longing for Li Chen to give it something!

"Hell!" Li Chen scolded secretly: "How can plants have such a feeling of 'longing', they must have broken their brains." ”

When I couldn't help but look at it again, that inexplicable feeling came back to my heart.

This time he was sure that it couldn't be an illusion, because it felt so real, and because he had pinched himself just now, it hurt!

I couldn't hold back the curiosity in my heart, got out of bed and walked barefoot to the little peach orchid that was a little wilted, and stretched out my hand tremblingly.

When I touched the leaves of the orchid, I felt something flow into the orchid from my mind. In less than five seconds, there was a wave of weakness in the body, a dizzy mind, and a panic of hunger.

At this moment, only a "click" was heard, and the door opened, and at the same time a woman's surprised voice was heard.

"Xiao Chen, you're finally awake!" At the same time, seeing Li Chen's face pale, standing weakly by the window, he hurriedly walked over, helped Li Chen to the bed and sat down, and said, "I just woke up, it's not good to lie on the bed." ”

Looking at his mother sitting on the edge of the bed and his father who had just walked in from the door, Li Chen couldn't help but shout, "Dad, Mom." "Looking at my aging parents, my eyes are a little red.

"Xiao Chen, are you hungry? Mother Zhang Cuihua grabbed Li Chen's hand, and at the same time turned her head to her father Li Yuhua who was standing next to her and shouted: "What are you doing in a daze, don't you see that your son is hungry?"

"Uh...... Father Li opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Mother Li glared at him and swallowed the words that came to his mouth:

"Xiao Chen, you have a good rest, I'll go down to buy food and come up to make up for you. With that, he turned and went out the door.

Looking at his parents' movements, Li Chen felt a burst of warmth, this is home!

Although my father didn't say much, the joy in his eyes was completely expressed on that face.

——

In the mother's nagging, after eating, the hunger in the stomach was removed, and the warmth by the side of the parents was full of happiness.

At the same time, he also knew that because the roads in the countryside were in disrepair and the roads were full of potholes, Li Chen lost his center of gravity and broke his forehead in a daze, so he fainted.

"Mom and Dad, you guys go to sleep too! Let's talk about it tomorrow, I'm fine!" Looking at the tired faces of his parents and his bloodshot eyes, Li Chen said guiltily.

Li's father and mother, who hadn't slept for a day and a night since Li Chen fell into a coma, also felt tired.

"But you ......"

Without waiting for Mother Li to finish speaking, Li Chen interrupted: "I'm fine, do you think I look like I'm in trouble now?" and patted his chest as he said to show that he was alive and well now.

"Well, okay then, you can rest early, and we'll come back tomorrow. Saying that, Li Chen's parents reluctantly went out.

After the ward was quiet, Li Chen lay on the bed and straightened out what had happened today, and found that his mind was now clearer than ever!

Li Chen lay on the bed in a daze, feeling a little incredible. Hurriedly picked up the medical magazine on the bedside table, and found that it was just a glance, and even the punctuation marks on that page were clearly remembered.

A little demonic muttered to himself: "Could it be that after I was knocked unconscious, I awakened my ability and became a prodigy?"

Suddenly, a spirit, remembering the strange thing when he woke up, hurriedly rolled out of bed and ran to the window.

I found that the little peach, as if I had taken a big tonic, the leaves that were originally a little wilted were more beautiful and lush than before!

Li Chen's mind was chaotic, as a young man in the 21st century, he had read countless novels!

There is only one thought in my mind: send, send!

At this time, Li Chen only felt hot-headed, and hurriedly comforted himself, "Be quiet, I want to be quiet." ”

Even so, my heart was still beating faster, and I couldn't wait to go out and vent!

After calming down, Li Chen thought about it.

First of all, he did have an adventure, and secondly, he could not tell anyone, including his parents and his future children's wives. It's not that I don't believe it, but I'm afraid that it will be leaked inadvertently, and the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty.

Lying in bed planning my future, I can't sleep when I toss and turn, and it's another sleepless night.

When Li Chen's parents came over the next day, although Li Cheng hadn't slept all night, he was still full of energy! It should be the reason for the air flow in his mind.

After eating, Li Chen put forward a request for discharge, but his parents couldn't resist Li Chen's argument, so they had to go through the discharge procedures.

A few hours later, I was discharged from the hospital and got into the car to go home.

Li Chen's hometown is in Dingzhu Village, in the countryside of Tanying, although now because of the village-to-village project, there is a small cement road from the township to the village!

However, because the village is so remote, after taking the car to the township, you still have to turn a tricycle or motorcycle to get back to the village, because there are no buses to take the small concrete road.

Sitting on the tricycle, looking at the countryside and fields that have not changed for several years, with a touch of anticipation and excitement, this is probably the cowardice of homesickness.

Dingzhu Village is located next to Wuzhi Mountain, which can be said to be surrounded by mountains on the back, and in front of the village is a river about ten meters wide, flowing through Liuxian Lake.

I remember when I was a child, I especially liked to play in the river with my friends.

When I returned home, it was already more than half an hour later, and some greetings from relatives and friends were indispensable in the middle, because the news of Li Chen's hospitalization had spread throughout the village, and the spread of information in the countryside was no slower than in the city.

Li Chen's home is a 2-story flat-roofed house. There is also an old house, the house is a two-story tiled house paved with big blue bricks and big red bricks at that time in the 90s.

It can be said that the quality was good at that time, and there is nothing to say! It is still strong today! There is also a younger sister at home, who is now in the sixth grade.

When she got home, Li's mother began to clean up Li Chen's room, because Li Chen had been away from home for five or six years, and it was almost a warehouse!

"Mom, don't clean up the room, I want to move to the old house. ”

"You kid. If you don't live in a good house, you have to live in an old house, isn't this looking for sin?" Although Mother Li said this, she still stopped tidying up the house.

Li Chen just touched his head and smirked and pretended not to hear, after all, young people nowadays feel not free when they live with their parents, otherwise they wouldn't have left their hometown every year to look for a job.

At around 4 o'clock, Li Chen volunteered to ride a motorcycle to pick up his little sister home. The little sister's name is Li Meiqi, who was raised by her parents, and she is a treasure at home.

Li Chen's home is more than a kilometer away from the school, less than two kilometers, and he is sent to school by Li's father every morning and picked up in the evening.

Although it is common for students to ride their own bicycles home in the cities, most parents in the countryside are still not at ease, after all, the countryside is not as good as the city.

It takes only two minutes to reach the school by motorcycle, and the school is crowded with motorbikes and small tricycles from nearby villages to pick up children.

Since there are not many villages nearby, it can be said that everyone knows each other more or less, and there are no good activities in the countryside, so every half an hour before school, people from all walks of life gather together, men chat, women gather to gossip.

When Li Chen arrived, it was inevitable that people who knew him would come over to say hello. Although I don't remember the names of most of them, their generations and rankings are still roughly clear, and this is almost the same in rural areas!

Here, an eighth uncle, and a thirteenth aunt over there are calling Zhengtian. After all, when he was still studying, he was a well-known good student.

When it was time for the end of school, groups of elementary school students rushed out, each looking for their parents or riding their own bicycles or walking home in groups of three or five. Seeing this scene, Li Chen couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic.

When I was in elementary school, the dividing line drawn at the lesbian table, and when I crossed the line, I stabbed you with the tip of a pen. Playing glass beads, losing in a hurry, all kinds of tricks. Grab stones, jump ropes, throw sandbags.........

At that time, table tennis was an ornament in the equipment room!

Back then, snow sticks (frozen into ice cubes) were a luxury snack when I was a kid, a dime a piece!

At that time, as long as the lard was fried, I watched from the side, waiting to eat the oil residue!

At that time, he was also one of the people who rushed out of school......

————

"Brother!" a surprised voice interrupted Li Chen's memories. I saw the little sister running over with a happy face, and stopped in front of Li Chen.

"Brother, when did you come back, did you bring me a gift?" Before Li Chen could speak, he was choked by his little sister's random questions.

could only reluctantly ravage her hair and said, "Yes, of course there is, no one can forget you little ghost spirit!"

The little sister looked unhappy and pushed Li Chen's hand away, "Don't touch my head, it won't grow tall." Only Li Chen's laughter responded to her.

When I got home, I was ready for dinner.

Eating still depends on the environment, the same meal, in different places and different people feel different tastes.

A warm dinner passed in the midst of talking and laughing, like there are no rules such as food and silence in rural families.
