Chapter 1: Eighty-three years of rebirth
Summer 1983.
The dark sky seemed to be torn apart by lightning and turned white, followed by a deafening muffled sound, and the raindrops of beans fell all over the city.
In the loess house built on the mountain, a petite figure is lying quietly on the big red wooden bed, his face is pale and bloodless, and cold sweat is breaking out on his forehead.
"Woo...... Ma Ma ...... Hemp. ”
The faint sound of milk came slowly from the next room, and it seemed a little unreal in this thunderstorm.
In a daze, Xu Xiuxiu opened her eyes with difficulty, and looked at the top of the bed surrounded by a white mosquito net in front of her, and after a long sound, she controlled her mind to pick a pink transparent fruit the size of a cherry tomato from the small space, and then slowly put it to her mouth and took it.
After a tea time, the pouring rain outside the house has gradually decreased, and Xu Xiuxiu, who had a high fever in the house, also slowly recovered her spirit after taking the pink fruit.
She was born again, until July 1983.
And the original owner of this body is a rural married woman, a native of Xujia Village, the third of the four sisters in the family, two ten-year-old, the same name is Xu Xiuxiu, two years ago was introduced to marry the second eldest son of the Song family in the army in the neighboring village Song Yuanhuan, a year ago because of the birth of a boy and the body is very weak, this morning and the sister-in-law of the mother-in-law because of a fish quarrel with the child ran back to the mother's house, angrily accusing the parents of letting the non-human marry like a widow, but was also married into the Songjia Village as a wife of the eldest sister Xu Fangfang a sentence of family and everything is prosperous, In anger, he took the child home in the rain, and then fell ill with a high fever, and was accidentally replaced by Xu Xiuxiu, who died in a modern car accident.
The confused and complicated picture in his mind quickly leaped forward, Xu Xiuxiu quickly digested the memory of the original owner, sighed and accepted the fact that she had become a married woman in the eighties, and with a little force, she got up from the wooden bed, stood in front of the window and stretched out her hand to open the wooden window.
As soon as the pouring rain outside the house stopped, the smell of earth after being baptized by the rain came to the face, and suddenly, a weak sobbing faintly came, like the sobbing sound of a little milk cat, which suddenly turned into a sharp blade and passed through Xu Xiuxiu's heart.
It's a child's sob!
Xu Xiuxiu's pupils contracted suddenly, and a dirty little face suddenly skewed into his mind, the little boy who made the original owner weak and sick after giving birth and was disliked by the original owner, just now, it seemed to be his voice.
Quickly rushed out of the house, Xu Xiuxiu stood trembling to the door of the next room, and pushed open the door in shock.
The simple room is clear at a glance, only to see a small bed with a fence on the edge of the wall not far away, which is the protective fence added to the child when Song Yuanhuan went home to visit relatives in March, and at this moment a thin little person is curled up on the small bed, wearing a thin and inappropriate green gown, it seems to be a small vest that Song Yuanhuan changed into with a vest, and the dirty little hands and feet exposed outside do not have the flesh of a child, and the sallow little face is also wrinkled into a ball due to discomfort at the moment, obviously with more air out and less air intake.
This kid is really pitiful.
"Xiao Chenguang ......" Xu Xiuxiu stepped forward with a sour nose, pulled a large cloth towel thrown on the small bed to wrap the villain, raised his hand to caress his forehead, and gasped after feeling the heat in his hand.
"Don't be afraid, Chenguang, mom will take you to the doctor." Holding Xiao Chenguang back to the master bedroom, Xu Xiuxiu rummaged around the house and found that the house was surrounded by walls, and Song Yuanhuan's living expenses mailed back on time every month were all squandered by the original owner as medical expenses, so he resigned herself to Xiao Chenguang and ran to her in-law's house across a wall.
When Xu Xiuxiu ran to her mother-in-law's house with Xiao Chenguang, who weighed a few pounds, her mother-in-law Liu Shuxiang was picking soybeans for making tofu under the eaves, and when she saw Xu Xiuxiu rushing in with sweat, she immediately stood up in a hurry.
"Xiuxiu, what's wrong?" Liu Shuxiang asked in a hurry, but her eyes were fixed on her little grandson Song Chenguang.
In the morning, Xu Xiuxiu took Song Chenguang to breakfast, but she quarreled with her eldest daughter-in-law because of a small salted fish, and when she returned to her parents' house angrily, she was worried that Xiao Chenguang's body would not be able to bear it, but now she saw her hurriedly hugging Xiao Chenguang, and suddenly guessed a rough idea.
"Mom, my body is a medicine jar, you know, the money that Yuanhuan sends back every month has been squandered by me, and now Chenguang is a little uncomfortable, I want to take him to Lao Songtou to take a look, but the family money is not enough, see if you can get me twenty yuan first, and I will return it to you immediately when Yuanhuan sends the money back next month." Xu Xiuxiu felt embarrassed that her cheeks were hot.
Frankly speaking, she really doesn't have the cheekiness to come to the door to ask the second elder for money, after all, the original owner is really not good to the second elder, if she loses her temper today, she will be a demon tomorrow, and the whole master is not worry-free, but now Xiao Chenguang's body is important, there is no way, she has to put the face of this thing first.
"Silly boy, what nonsense are you talking about? Give your grandson a few dollars worth to see a doctor, go, go to the house with Chenguang, and your mother will give you money. Liu Shuxiang looked at her little grandson with distressed eyes, and walked to the house with someone as she spoke, although she was not very satisfied with this second daughter-in-law who had been taking medicine for many years, but her thoughts about her little grandson were real.
"Thank you, Mom." Xu Xiuxiu carefully adjusted the posture of hugging Xiao Chenguang, and followed Liu Shuxiang into the house.
After a while, Liu Shuxiang took twenty yuan for Xu Xiuxiu, "Xiuxiu, can you be alone?" Why don't mom go with you! Liu Shuxiang looked at the thin Xu Xiuxiu with distrust, so she threw down a bag of soybeans and accompanied Xu Xiuxiu to the old Song Tou's house.
Old Song Tou is a barefoot doctor in Songjia Village, and people in the village generally look for him if they have a headache and brain fever, unless there is a big problem, the village generally does not toss money to the big hospital in the county.
"Malnutrition, resulting in a weak physique to contract the wind cold, these medicines take back three bowls of water and boil them into a bowl and take it." Old Song Tou explained, his eyes lingering on Xu Xiuxiu, who was also thin and quacking.
The sentence of malnutrition leading to physical weakness is like a slap, slapping his face, Xu Xiuxiu only felt that his face suddenly burned in a panic, but he still thanked Lao Song Tou with his scalp.
When she came out of the old Song Tou's house, it was almost evening, and Song's mother asked Xu Xiuxiu not to go home and fire to have dinner at home together, Xu Xiuxiu wanted to nod, but when she thought of the sister-in-law Wang Qinghua, who could toss things better than the original owner, she shook her head and declined the kindness of Song's mother Liu Shuxiang.
Carefully stepping on the muddy path back home, Xu Xiuxiu carefully placed Xiao Chenguang in the master bedroom, turned around and came to the simple kitchen, quickly took out some rice and put it on the big pot stove, and washed the Chinese medicinal materials for Xiao Chenguang and put them in the small stove on the side to suffer, and finally made a fire and boiled the porridge after the medicine was cooked.
Carrying medicine and porridge into the master bedroom, when he saw the little man lying on the wooden bed in the house humming and moaning because he was not feeling well, Xu Xiuxiu immediately stepped forward to pick up the person and coaxed him gently, and at the same time slowly fed the Chinese medicine soup boiled with space water into his mouth, his eyes were full of distress for the child and strong dissatisfaction with the original owner Xu Xiuxiu.
That woman's heart is also ruthless enough, she actually abused her own child, and she didn't know that she thought it was her stepmother!
"Well, Chenguang will drink the medicine, and my mother will feed you white rice porridge!" hugged the little man who was struggling and protested lightly, and it took a long time to feed a bowl of bitter medicine soup, although he was vomited by the little guy for more than half and wasted more than half, but he finally swallowed some, and Xu Xiuxiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After feeding the medicine, drinking the porridge, and calming the little guy who gradually fell asleep with a fever, Xu Xiuxiu was exhausted, and after drinking a few sips of cold porridge, she put the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen, turned around and went back to the house and hugged Xiao Chenguang into a shallow sleep.
At night, it rained heavily outside the house again, Xu Xiuxiu slept extremely unsteadily, and woke up from time to time to check on Xiao Chenguang's situation, until she found that the little guy had a fever before she let go of her heart.
Buckle buckle buckle -
Suddenly, there were two knocks at the door, which seemed very permeable in this quiet rainy night.
"Who?" Xu Xiuxiu hugged the sleeping little guy next to her, staring at the wooden door in horror and screaming, as if a fierce beast would break into the door in the next moment.
"I, Song Yuanhuan." The deep voice that belongs to a man sounds, with a soothing calmness in the rainy night.
Song Yuanhuan.
Xu Xiuxiu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the answer, so she got up and opened the door, "Why are you back?" Pulling the lamp, looking at Song Yuanhuan who was standing at the door of the house with wet clothes through the faint light in the room, Xu Xiuxiu asked stupidly, and there seemed to be an unwelcome element in her tone.
"Well, the troops have three days off." At the same time, the tall figure stepped into the door, and his sharp gaze stayed on Song Chenguang, who was lying asleep on the bed, for a moment.
"Oh." Xu Xiuxiu lowered her eyes and nodded, standing behind her obediently.
"Why did you let Chenguang sleep with you?" Song Yuanhuan took off his clothes and slowly revealed his strong chest.
She has always disliked Chenguang, he knows this very well, and even wanted to throw him into the next room to fend for himself when Chenguang was less than three months old, if it wasn't for him saying that he would send an extra twenty yuan a month home in the future, she was afraid that there would be no such son as a long time ago, today he came back to plan to spend the night in the small bed with his son, opened the door but didn't see the figure of the little guy, without thinking about it, he walked back to the master bedroom and knocked on the door to ask, until he entered the house and saw his son sleeping on the bed, The inexplicable emotion that he himself couldn't explain quietly disappeared.
But why was she suddenly willing to sleep with Chenguang! He was a little puzzled by this.
Xu Xiuxiu lived for thirty years in her previous life and has been single, this is the first time she has seen a man's chest nakedly, and she suddenly lowered her eyes with red faces, "Chenguang has a high fever, and he has taken medicine and retreated, I am afraid that he will have a fever at night, so I will bring him to the master bedroom to watch." ”
"Boys, just be rough." Song Yuanhuan had to admit that he felt very strange after hearing Xu Xiuxiu's explanation of caring for his son, but he still put on a strict military attitude, "Okay, you can go to bed quickly when it's late at night!" I went to the next room for one night. He opened the large closet and pulled out a pair of men's underwear, then turned and walked out of the main room.
Xu Xiuxiu touched her nose and looked at the man who threw her back, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then climbed onto the wooden bed and hugged her son to sleep.
