Chapter 32: The City
Ruan Wan didn't have clairvoyance or ears, so she didn't know about the conversations and events that happened in a distant country that were related to herβher third year of junior high school was still going on before they brought waves to her life.
Attend and end classes, review questions, and mark exams...... Students all over the world came over like this, and the students in the class, including Ruan Wan, were naturally no exception. Go all out, just for the last fight!
Summer goes to autumn, autumn goes to winter, and in a blink of an eye, the winter vacation has arrived.
It has been three years since Ruan Wan was reborn.
In the past three years, she has changed very obviously - at least now whoever sees her has to admit that she is a big girl.
Ruan Wan had already experienced this kind of development once in her previous life, so naturally she would not panic because of it again. I don't know if I know more about the "maintenance policy" in this life, when she looks at herself in the mirror, she feels that compared to this time in her previous life, although her height has not changed, she looks a little plumper and has a better complexion.
"Xiaowan, Tingting's phone!" Grandma's voice came from far outside the door.
"It's coming!" Ruan Wan put down the comb and walked out of the room.
As soon as she went out, she trembled. Grandma's room is warm in winter and cool in summer, and it stands to reason that it will never be cold like this in winter, so there is only one truth - the weather is extremely cold this winter. This is indeed the case, Ruan Wan remembers that there was a heavy snow during the winter vacation of the previous life, and the snow was piled up on the ground as thick as ten centimeters, and it took a long time to melt, and the flowers and plants in the courtyard were frozen to death.
As soon as Ruan Wancai picked up the phone, she heard Song Ting's cheerful voice: "Wanwan! Wanwan! β
"Huh?"
"The weather forecast indicates that it may snow heavily the day after tomorrow! Let's build a snowman together! β
Ruan Wan: "......" Did this girl call specifically to say this?
"You can also have a snowball fight!" Song Ting's voice became more and more excited, "It's been a long time since there has been heavy snow here, this time you must have enough fun!" β
Ruan Wan was also speechless.
Song Ting's voice has always been loud, and Ruan Wan didn't deliberately hide anything, so her grandmother, who was sitting in the living room watching TV, naturally heard the conversation between the two.
When Ruan Wan hung up the phone and sat down next to her grandmother, she heard the latter say leisurely: "Speaking of which, it has indeed not snowed heavily for more than ten years. β
Ruan Wan didn't have too intuitive feelings about "not seeing snow for a long time", in her previous life, she followed her mother to Qiao's house, Qiao's house is in the north, and it is very normal to see snow in winter. She also studied in that city in college, and after graduation, she was even more reluctant to leave there, and refused to leave no matter what. In the years since Jin Nian left, she has been to many places, and naturally she has seen snow.
Coincidentally, when she died in her last life, it happened to be a snowy day.
She died in an accident, an accident that led her carelessly.
Ruan Wan clearly remembered that at that time, she still had the desire to survive, and she desperately wanted to climb out, but she couldn't do it anyway. Before she died, the snow fell outside the floor-to-ceiling window, covering the sky and the earth, and at the same time, her death was also annihilated. She didn't know who her body was found on the first few days.
"The last time it snowed, it was the year you were born." To be precise, it was two months after Xiaowan was born. Fanghua's love and health were not good at that time, and she sat for more than two months before she finally recovered, and she was almost always taking Xiaowan at that time. On the day of the snowfall, she held Xiao Wan, who was only a little old at the time, to soak milk in the house, and the first snow of that winter came unexpectedly. I don't know if it's a coincidence, at the moment when she found out about it, Xiao Wan, who has been exceptionally well-behaved and rarely cries since she was born, cried so loudly that people who listened to it were distressed.
Ruan Wan listened to her grandmother's words, was slightly stunned, and then laughed in a low voice. It also happened that there was heavy snow in the year I was born, and there was also heavy snow in the year I died. She died desolate and desolate, but what about when she was born? Is the same true?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help asking, "Grandma, I was born in this house, right?" β
"Yes." Grandma's eyelids jumped, "It was Granny Qian from the town who delivered the baby for you herself." β
Ruan Wan knew Granny Qian, she used to be a "prestigious" midwife in the town, but unfortunately, with the development of the times, people nowadays prefer to go to the hospital to give birth, and the profession of midwife has naturally disappeared. As for Granny Qian herself, she also passed away a few years ago, and she remembered that her grandmother had taken her to incense and kowtow to her.
"Was I beautiful when I was born?" Ruan Wan then asked.
"My face is wrinkled, I am as thin as a monkey, if you weren't born at home, I would have thought I had the wrong child." As the relationship between the grandparents and grandchildren gets better and better, the grandmother is also sparing no effort in fighting Ruan Wan.
Ruan Wan: "......"
In fact, grandma didn't lie, Ruan Wan was born prematurely, and she was indeed much thinner than a normal child. Other children were born crying loudly, she was born like a kitten, completely silent, if it weren't for the slight breathing sound, she and Granny Qian almost thought it was a dead baby.
The events of more than ten years ago, my grandmother still feels vivid in her memory when she looks back on them. The daughter lying on the bed, pale and covered in blood, Xiao Wan, who was slapped on the ass by Granny Qian, was held in her hand by Granny Qian - this child has been stubborn since he was a child, and he didn't cry when he was spanked. At that time, she and Granny Qian both suspected that the child was mute, and it was not until the daughter on the bed woke up leisurely, stretched out her hand to them, and muttered, "Show me my child's ......", that Xiaowan opened her mouth and cried as if she had been called by something.
The cry was the same as that of a milk cat.
At that time, she hugged Xiaowan, and she only felt happy and sad. I am happy that my daughter has also become a mother, the Ruan family has a future, and the mother and daughter are safe; The sad thing is that in the end, it is the mother and daughter who are connected, and she can't compare to the child's mother's cry when she holds the child for so long.
The next few years proved what she thought at that time - Xiaowan, the child, even if she didn't see her mother for a year, still missed her very much. She was not jealous, but she was distressed, and at the same time, she was worried that this child, like Fanghua and herself, was too stubborn. It's fine to put it on the good side, but if it falls on the bad side, sooner or later it will cause trouble.
Fortunately, I don't know when the child became clear.
She finally put her mind at ease.
Grandma came back to her senses from the memories and sighed slightly, she turned her head sideways, looked at her granddaughter who didn't know what she was thinking, and whispered: "Xiaowan, you ......" She didn't finish a word, and suddenly woke up, she just wanted to say "Do you miss your mother", but now she only feels like a fish in her throat, and she can't say it anyway.
It's all because of the snow, which evokes her memories.
βοΌβ
ββ¦β¦ It's nothing. Grandma looked at Ruan Wan's puzzled eyes, hooked the corners of her mouth, and rubbed her granddaughter's head with warm hands, "When the snow falls, let's also build a big snowman in the yard." β
"Hmm!" Ruan Wan nodded heavily and smiled.
Grandma looked at Ruan Wanxue's smile like a sunny day, and her heart was both comforting and sentimental. Children who are too well-behaved and sensible are always more likely to make people feel distressed, what's more, how innocent Xiaowan is, she should never have suffered so much.
That night, it snowed.
The snow fell all night and did not stop until the next morning.
Although Ruan Wan sprinkled a layer of salt on the main road in the courtyard early, it ...... Well, in the buzzword a few years later, it was "then and again".
So early in the morning, as soon as she finished picking herself up, she began to boil ginger soup. In recent years, there have been more and more left-behind elderly people in the town, so in the last life, when I saw such a heavy snowfall, the young and middle-aged people decided to help the elderly shovel snow - Ruan Wan's family naturally became the "object of attention".
When people come to volunteer to help, they can't even prepare hot water, right? On this cold day, drinking ginger tea is the best. And as the old saying goes, "Eat ginger early, win ginseng soup; Eat ginger late, such as β‘β‘", it can be seen that ginger is very suitable for eating in the morning.
When Ruan Wan was cooking the ginger soup, she heard a commotion outside the door.
"Granny Su!"
"Is there anyone at home?"
"Ruan Wan, let's help shovel the snow!"
β¦β¦
Ruan Wan listened to this voice and hurriedly shouted, "Yes! Wait for me to open the door for you! Fortunately, she wears long rubber shoes on her feet, which is convenient for walking from the snow, but she should be careful when walking, so as not to accidentally roll to the ground and become a snowball.
After much difficulty, she finally opened the door.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Song Ting's father, Yu Qiaoqiao's father, and ...... standing at the door Qi Xuan and his dad.
"Uncle Song, Uncle Yu, Uncle Qi, thank you!" Ruan Wan hurriedly thanked her.
"Hey! And me! Why don't you thank me? A neglected guy jumped out very dissatisfied, desperately trying to show his existence, but was slapped behind by his father.
In fact, the first thing Ruan Wan saw was him, because it was really too conspicuous - like a flea, he showed off his senses! I haven't seen him for a long time, he has grown taller and stronger, and he has changed his hairstyle, wearing a new tuft of down jacket, well, the "feeling of getting sè" that was slapped away by her in the past has revived, and she feels that she needs to let him use his body again to remember what it means to "don't pretend to be forced, pretend to be forced to be struck by lightning!" So, she decisively ignored him.
After the father of the Qi family slapped his cub away, he replied with a smile: "Whatever is polite, it should be." "Needless to say, Dad Song and Dad Yu, even if they are for their daughter, they will definitely come to help. As for Father Qi, although he didn't say anything, he had actually been quite grateful to this little girl who "always lends a helping hand at critical moments", so he personally carried his son to the door.
Qi Xuan, who was photographed and almost rolled into the snow, was not good: Dad, who are you father!
Well, in a few years, his words can be translated as: Dad, are you the old king next door to Ruan Wan's family?! (Grandpa Wang next door happily lying on the gun!) οΌ
