Chapter 1: Memories
Xia Chen shook the ring on his index finger, and he didn't expect this thing to follow him through, could it be that this is a psychic thing? But when I looked left and right, I didn't find anything special.
Looking at the little hand with the ring hanging again, she felt depressed again, how could she cross over to a child? And when she remembered the situation when she had just crossed here, she couldn't cry or laugh.
She woke up that day in a daze, found herself alive, and gratefully recited Amitabha, Asalaam, and Hallelujah - she really didn't live enough, even if her lover was married and the bride was not her, she never thought of looking for a short-term meeting. It's just that what's wrong with me lately? is so easy to be impulsive, she seems to have been impulsive twice in her life, and once she threw herself into someone's arms and almost caused a thunderbolt to set the earth on fire, but fortunately, that guy is still a gentleman. On another occasion, he rushed into the river at a speed of one hundred and eighty veins, but fortunately he died. Impulsiveness is really the devil, and the next time you are in a bad mood, you must stay at home and sleep......
"Huh?" When she opened her eyes, she couldn't help but exclaim. She found that this was not a hospital, but an antique room, and there was an old woman in ancient costume standing next to the bed.
When the old woman saw that she was awake, she wiped her tears and said, "Oh, young master, you are awake, if you have three long and two short, how can the slave and maid explain to the dead lord and lady!" As he spoke, he reached out and touched her forehead.
Xia Chen was blindsided at that time, not because of the death of some old lady, but because the old woman actually called her "young master". Her mind was spinning rapidly, and a strange thought came to her almost instantly, and she didn't care about the image, so she reached out and pressed it between her legs......
I was relieved to find that there was nothing more there, but then I felt that something was wrong, so I took out my hand and looked at it, and suddenly lifted the quilt...... It's like falling into an ice cave! How did he become a little doll by himself.
Now it's been two years, and at first she looked forward to growing up quickly, but gradually she felt that it was not bad. Her childhood in her previous life was too short, so short that she didn't remember that she had a childhood, and now although she is not hurt by her parents, she is spoiled by her grandmother and uncles, and she lives a carefree life like Manan Mountain. Since you are living all over again, you must not live for someone else this time.
It's just that although the owner of this body is only five years old, he has also left some memory fragments......
"Mother, don't cry, Chen'er won't say she's hungry anymore."
"Mother, don't be angry, Chen'er is not cold, Chen'er will finish writing these five hundred words immediately."
"Mother, did you fall and hurt, Chen'er will blow it for you. Why wouldn't my grandmother see us? Why are they so fierce? ”
"Mother, where is Daddy? Why don't you leave us alone? Mother, don't be sad, Chen'er grows up and goes to find her father back for her mother. ”
"Mother, don't leave Chen'er! Don't leave Chen'er! Chen'er won't make you angry anymore, you open your eyes......"
Every time I think of this, Xia Chen feels very worried! It's not pleasant! It's hard to tolerate! What's more, the owner of this body is also called Xia Chen, which makes her feel more empathetic. She usually looks down on those who are self-righteous, look down on others, and bully others.
When I have time to spare time, I have to treat those aunts and uncles, and I actually bullied orphans and widows like this, what kind of stuff are they?
In fact, the day after the crossing, the nurse Li's mother, the old woman, took her to Xia's house, and the situation at that time is still fresh in my memory.
It was a gloomy day, and it was cloudy or sunny, and the wind was very strong, and the weeping willows on the side of the road were swept by the autumn wind, as if it was raining leaves. There are very few pedestrians on the road, all of them are in a hurry, and from time to time they use their hands to cover their faces, for fear of being blinded. Xia Chen was also shivering by the wind.
Mother Li took her for about half an hour, and came to a large mansion that was not magnificent, but absolutely wide, and a small servant passed them into the gate and let them wait outside the weeping flower gate.
After a while, a middle-aged woman dressed in a blue brocade gown, with shining sideburns and a beaded hair, walked out slowly with a fat woman in a blue skirt and painted red and green. The woman glanced at her first, then at Mother Li, and then rolled her eyes up: "The second lady's affairs have been taken care of?" ”
Mother Li said, "Yes, eldest lady." ”
As soon as Xia Chen heard this, she knew that this was her eldest aunt Qian, and she was also the current head of the Xia family.
Qian pulled the corners of his mouth, and snorted his nose: "I said Mother Li, you also know that our Xia family is not a big family, if you add two more mouths, I am afraid that everyone in this family will starve." Originally, this didn't matter, but the old lady was sick again, and the little land rent she collected, it took most of the money to find a doctor and ask for medicine, and she had to count it one by one on weekdays. Having said that, none of them in the Han family came to take a look......"
The Han family is Xia Chen's mother's maiden family. When Han was seriously ill, Xia Chen's aunt Zhang came all the way to take care of him, and when Han died, his uncle Han An also came. If it weren't for this, the Xia family would not stretch out, where would the Han family's future affairs be handled by a child and an old mother.
Qian was foaming at the mouth, and Li's mother only listened with her head down. Xia Chen kept staring at her mouth, thinking that she could say it so well, why didn't her mouth be thinner, and it was like hanging two sausages, and her chattering kung fu was simply a strengthened version of Tang Seng in the Journey to the West, and the spit Xingzi gradually turned his face, and he knew that he should have brought an umbrella.
"Phew!" Finally, even the autumn wind was annoyed, and a puff of dust was suddenly blown and poured into Qian's mouth, and she stopped.
Mother Li took this opportunity to say: "Back to the master, the eldest uncle of the Han family is here, and he is about to pick up the third young master, I don't know ......."
Qian smiled a little unnaturally: "Ouch, why didn't you say it earlier!" Actually, it's not like I didn't want to leave Chen'er behind.,It's really not enough to spare! Three years and five years are good, and in the future, when the child grows up, I am afraid that his future will be delayed, and now the old man and the third uncle are fighting outside, and the family is old and ......young."
Xia Chen only felt as if there were countless flies flying in his ears, and said unbearably: "Uncle is still waiting, say goodbye." With that, he took Li's mother and left. If it weren't for the fact that her arms and legs were too weak at the time, she would have been punched all over the face.
Mother Li was naturally tired of hearing it, and was pulled by Xia Chen and immediately followed her out of Xia's house. Heart: Who doesn't know who, they know each other, what's the meaning of saying those. But after all, he is a servant, and it is difficult to interrupt.
Out of the door, Xia Chen said: "Listen to what she is rambling!" "I can't stand this kind of person who wants to be a and set up an archway.
Mother Li was a little surprised, how did the young master suddenly become so temperamental? After thinking about it, Xu was in a bad mood because he had just lost his mother, so he said softly: "Young master, I have to say hello, after all, there is still an old lady here." When Madame came, she also asked me to send you to my uncle's house, and now my uncle has come to pick you up, and the slave and maid are also relieved to go back to the countryside to care for the elderly. ”
Xia Chen nodded: "Mother Li, thank you for taking care of me and my mother for so many years." "Han's health has always been poor, but thanks to this old mother's help, Han's mother and daughter did not starve to death.
Mother Li said with tears in her eyes: "What did the young master say, Mrs. is kind to the slave and maid's family, and the slave and maid are only afraid that they will not be able to repay them in this life, and they only hate that the slave and maid are old and can no longer serve around." ”
Xia Chen clenched Li's mother's hand: "I'll take care of you in the future." ”
Mother Li squatted down, held her in her arms and choked up: "The young master is so sensible, the slave and maid don't worry about it." If it weren't for the death of the old man...... Alas, life. ”
Xia Chen didn't say anything more, she knew what Mother Li meant, Xiao Xiachen's father Xia Qingyang was already a general of the fifth rank of Ningyuan, and now he was fighting for many years, if he made a few more exploits and became a general of the fourth grade, he could get the mansion and possibly get the hereditary military position, and the fate of her and even the Xia family would be rewritten.
However, eight years ago, when Xia Qingyang led a team of soldiers to intercept the enemy, he encountered an ambush, and even the bones were not found afterwards, so that the imperial court did not even have an explanation, but let his eldest uncle Xia Zhongyang take advantage of it, and was promoted to three levels to take over his younger brother's position.
Xia Chen didn't feel sorry for this at all, she never expected a big pie to fall from the sky, even if it fell, it wasn't certain that she would be stoned to death if she could eat it. And she has never believed in fate, let alone accepted fate!
"Chen'er, Chen'er."
As soon as she heard that it was her little aunt Han Xiang calling her, Xia Chen hurriedly retracted her thoughts, tied the ring around her neck again, put on her coat and got up to open the door: "Little aunt, is there something wrong so early?" ”
Han Xiang chuckled twice and said, "I'm lying in bed again, how high is the day?" ”
Xia Chen glanced at the blue sky: "The weather is good today, I'll take you to play." ”
Han Xiang's eyelids matched: "Who wants to hang out with you?" It's not catching fish or hunting birds, how can I go to a girl's house? ”
The little aunt is only two years older than herself, and she has a quirky temperament, and Xia Chen especially likes to tease her. "And what the hell are you waking me up?"
"The third brother will come back from the county in the next two days, are you going to catch a few fish in the river and let the mother sauce?"
The third brother mentioned by Han Xiang is Xia Chen's third uncle Han Qi.
Xia Chen put his arms around his chest: "It's you who are greedy, right?" ”
Han Xiang shook his head: "Don't pull it down." I left you two bean pies, and I ate them myself. ”
Xia Chen grabbed her: "Little aunt, you are willing to go down to the river hungry." ”
When the country people are busy with farm work, breakfast is set at dawn, lunch is to bring some dry food and water to eat on the ground, and then go home for dinner when it is almost dark. In winter, it is changed to two meals in the morning and evening.
After eating two cakes, Xia Chen left the house and walked in the direction of the small river to the north. In the distance, the mountains and green mountains are like a huge green screen, under the blue sky, a winding path among the green fields, the sound of birds and insects and the rustle of grass leaves blown by the wind are harmonious. Although it is not as beautiful as the scenery of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, there is a simple and heroic northern scenery. After a while, the mountains will be covered with a brilliant golden yellow by the autumn wind.
There are no telephones, computers, and the hustle and bustle of the city, and after living for a long time, the mood has gradually settled.
It's just that since Han Qi entered the county school, her life doesn't seem to be as comfortable as before. Originally, Han Qi was the head of a child in several nearby villages, and he followed him to eat and drink spicy food, not to mention, and someone did the work of picking up dung and mowing grass. But now he no longer cares about the children's affairs, and his little brothers don't mingle with children her age.
As the saying goes, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and once the son of heaven is a courtier. I have to find a way to be the head of the child.
