Reborn as a baby who has just fallen to the ground, there is only one advantage for Xiao Yiran, that is, he can use more than two-thirds of his sleep time every day to temporarily get rid of the grief of missing his children, as well as the men of Xiao Guo, and his subjects.

From the dialogue between his father Xiao Guoliang and his mother Sun in this life, Xiao Yiran learned intermittently that the era of his rebirth was the fourth year of Kaibao in the early Song Dynasty. His father, Xiao Guoliang, and mother, Sun, are both from scholarly families. Xiao Guoliang is forty-three years old, and Sun is thirty-five years old. Xiao Yiran didn't know why the age gap between the two was so big.

As the days passed, Sun lay on the kang for three days, and before the lochia was exhausted, he insisted on working in the field. Xiao Guoliang's repeated persuasion was ineffective, but Sun urged Xiao Guoliang to resume classes for the children in the private school.

Xiao Yiran saw a couple, although they were poor, but they were very affectionate, and they were a little suspicious of the saying: poor couples mourn everything.

Although Xiao Yiran didn't want to interfere with Sun's premature work in the field, because he lost his mother when he was reborn for the first time, his mother was bitten to death by a crocodile only two days later. Xiao Yiran really didn't want to lose his mother too early in his life. Therefore, whenever the Sun family wants to work in the field, Xiao Yiran always cries loudly. So that Sun had to stay on the kang to comfort his daughter. Xiao Guoliang also took the opportunity to persuade:

"Good wife, you see that your daughter loves you and doesn't let you go to the ground too early, the good wife still takes care of her body. I have already asked the village chief for leave and told the village chief that when classes resume, I will extend the day by one hour to make up for the lost time. ”

Hearing Xiao Guoliang say this, Sun looked at Xiao Yiran in swaddling clothes, stretched out his right index finger and lightly touched Xiao Yiran's forehead, and said lovingly:

"What kind of blessing did my mother come to give birth to such a sensible daughter as you?"

Immediately, he lowered his face again and kissed Xiao Yiran's slightly emaciated cheek. From Sun's daily treatment of himself, Xiao Yiran felt the soft maternal love in Sun's heart. Just like kissing himself just now, the Sun family was reluctant to use a little force. Not to mention that he usually hugged himself, it was like hugging a fragile porcelain, and his cautious appearance made Xiao Yiran a little nervous. Xiao Yiran was born and drove for half a month, and Xiao Guoliang only hugged him once. It's not that I don't want to hug it, but Sun doesn't let it.

"Husband, if you don't hold the child like this, the child will be uncomfortable."

Xiao Guoliang picked up Xiao Yiran for the first time, and was picked up by Sun. Since then, Xiao Guoliang has never been hugged again.

This always reminds Xiao Yiran of his children, who he has never cherished and cared for in the first place.

"Xiao Ming, Xiao Yue, Xiao Xin, Xiao Lin, Xiao Jun, how are you? Mommy misses you. ”

Every day, Xiao Yiran will call the five children countless times in his heart, unless he falls asleep, he will forget about it for a while. has been immersed in the pain of longing, in addition to crying a few times when he stopped Sun from working in the field, Xiao Yiran, who never cried lightly, has become a good child and a sensible child in the eyes of Xiao Guoliang and his wife. As a result, the two of them loved Xiao Yiran even more.

In the end, Sun still lay on the kang for the full moon before he began to work in the field. Xiao Guoliang also resumed his schoolwork at the private school in the village.

From the neighbors who occasionally come to the house to play, Xiao Yiran can hear that the accent of his parents is very different from that of the locals. Siu Yat-ran guessed that his parents were by no means locals. As for why he moved here, Xiao Yiran couldn't guess it for a while.

Out of the full moon, it was already the end of May, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, Sun often carried Xiao Yiran to the yard, under a tall plane tree to enjoy the shade. Xiao Yiran was able to observe his new home. There are two north houses, one bright and one dark, with adobe walls and wheat straw roofs. The doors and windows are very old, and the windows are covered with white paper, and when the breeze blows, it makes a salsa sound. On the east side of the north house, under the dark window, there is a small kitchen. The courtyard is surrounded by a fence wall with tree branches, and in the southwest corner of the courtyard, there is a small toilet. Under the west gable of the north house, there is a well with a wheel.

Sun's work is not heavy, nothing more than three meals a day, and then washing Xiao Yiran's diapers, and one or two very few changes of clothes for the husband and wife. Outside the fence wall, there is a small vegetable patch with seasonal vegetables. Every day, Xiao Guoliang goes to clean up after school.

Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Xiao Yiran has passed a hundred days. On the day of the 100th day, more than a dozen guests came to the village, bringing snacks, children's clothes and other congratulatory gifts, and the village chief and his wife also came, both in their fifties, looking kind and kind.

From the mouths of the people who came, Xiao Yiran knew that most of the people who came were the parents of students in private schools. Many people come together as husband and wife. The men sat together drinking tea and chatting, while the women gathered around a small, somewhat shabby mat under the plane tree, and Xiao Yiran, who was lying on her back, teased her with colorful clothes in her hands.

It's just that no matter how funny those women are, Xiao Yiran doesn't have a trace of a smile on his face, and even his expression is rarely moved.

"Mr. and lady, Yiran will definitely be a sensible child in the future, look at it, he doesn't smile at such a young age."

He never smiled at his daughter, and even since the full moon, he has never cried, and the expression on his face always looks a little stunned, and Sun has not muttered in his heart. also said to Xiao Guoliang:

"Husband, there won't be anything wrong with my daughter, right? You see, such a young child, who never cries or makes trouble, is really different. ”

"There should be nothing wrong with her, so that she can hear, and know how to eat when she is hungry, there should be nothing wrong."

Xiao Guoliang's answer obviously didn't have much confidence.

Today, Xiao Yiran was lying on the mat when he heard the words of the two women hiding on the side and secretly discussing.

"Third sister-in-law, do you say that the child of the husband's family is a fool?"

"Brother and sister, don't talk nonsense. This kid is a little different. ”

Maybe it was the day of the 100th day, and Sun also heard those women's private discussions, and the worry on his face became more and more obvious. Sometimes, looking at the daughter in my arms, I always stared at it in a daze for most of the day, and occasionally shed a few tears. After Xiao Yiran saw it, he felt very unbearable. It's just that Xiao Yiran can't speak at the age of a little more than 100 days, right? In order not to let Sun continue to worry, one day, when Sun secretly shed tears again, Xiao Yiran barely squeezed out a smile.

Xiao Yiran's smile, in Sun's eyes, was as excited as a long drought and a rainy day. lifted Xiao Yiran high, shook again and again, and kissed Xiao Yiran on the face for the first time. When Xiao Guoliang came back from school and had not yet entered the yard, Sun hurriedly hugged Xiao Yiran to meet him, and said to Xiao Guoliang with a happy face:

"Husband, Yiran smiled, husband, my daughter smiled."

"Really?!"

All along, Xiao Guoliang was not worried, but he didn't dare to say it, for fear of causing more sadness to the Sun family.

"Really, just now, I was holding Yiran and was worried, so Xiao Yiran smiled at me. Yiran smiled again and showed it to his father. ”

Sun coaxed Xiao Yiran in his arms softly, looking at Sun and Xiao Guoliang, the husband and wife were full of expectation, Xiao Yiran had to squeeze out a smile again.

"Husband, look, my daughter is smiling again, laughing again."

"Good daughter, you frightened your mother, you have to smile more in the future, you know?"

Xiao Guoliang also bowed his head and kissed Xiao Yiran lightly on the cheek.

Since then, the stone that has been pressing on the hearts of the husband and wife has finally fallen. Although the family is poor, the smiles of the husband and wife every day are increasing as Xiao Yiran grows up day by day.

One night, Xiao Yiran, who woke up hungry from his sleep, heard a conversation between his father and the two.

"Good wife, I want to try again after the autumn, if I don't win this time, I won't have extravagant hopes in this life."

"Don't be discouraged, husband. Others don't know about the husband's talent, but he still knows it as a wife. The reason why it has failed repeatedly is just a matter of luck. Now that she has Yiran, her daughter will definitely bring good luck to her husband, and this township test, her husband will definitely be able to go to high school. ”

"Then borrow the good words of a good wife, and the luck of your daughter."

"My husband teaches students every day, so I'm afraid I don't have much time to review my homework, right?"

"It's not that I'm arrogant for my husband, I don't say that I am familiar with those homework, I memorize it like a stream, and I basically don't need to review it anymore. Every morning I teach a new lesson to the students, and in the afternoon I let the students review, and I can also squeeze out time to review for an afternoon, which is enough. ”

"In the future, let's also hold the lamp after dinner, but there is still more than half a month, and we can't burn much lamp oil."

Xiao Yiran didn't hear Xiao Guoliang's answer, so he probably nodded in response. Indeed, since Xiao Yiran came to this house, he has never seen a light at night. Not only that, except for a few meat dishes eaten in Sun's confinement, that is, on the day of the 100th day, when the banquet was held, Xiao Yiran saw pork, and in the remaining three months, Xiao Yiran never saw the couple eat meat. Xiao Yiran really couldn't imagine how his father Xiao Guoliang could be so poor when he was so talented.

"Husband, although it is not far from home to Fucheng, you also have to prepare some entanglements. It seems that I can only go to the village chief Yu Zhi for next year's bundle repair. ”

"Good wife, since you married me Xiao Guoliang, you haven't let you live a good life, and I am really ashamed to be a husband."

"Husband, what are you talking about? The husband has waited for Xiaoli for so many years, not to mention, since marrying the husband, although she has not lived a life of big fish and meat, making slaves and maids, Xiaoli has been loved by her husband in a thousand ways, and she feels very happy. Besides, Xiaoli is willing to marry her husband, but she is not greedy for any wealth, doesn't her husband understand Xiaoli's heart? ”

It was the first time that Siu had heard the couple talk a little about their past. 's mother's original name was Sun Li, and she had the same name as her classmates in the same dormitory. From the conversation between the two, Xiao Yiran faintly felt that the combination of the two should have a story.
