Xia Yu's scream of horror broke the silence of the night, and the neighbor's mother Zhang opened the window from the second floor, only to see that her big yellow dog actually broke free from the leash and was chasing the neighbor's big girl of the Xia family.

Xia Yu had already rushed to his door, but his wooden door had not yet opened, and the big yellow dog had already used its extremely sharp teeth to bite Xia Yu's loose blue school uniform pants, and was about to bite Xia Yu's pants, Xia Yu was about to be bullied by the big dog in this cold night, so anxious that he jumped his feet but couldn't do anything but barked.

Xia Yu anxiously left tears of fear, crying wow, pulling the big wooden door of his house and crying, desperately enduring the big yellow dog's teeth about to tear his calf meat.

At this critical moment, the big wooden door of Xia Yu's house immediately opened, Wang Xiuzhen rushed out with her own flat pole and drove away the big yellow dog directly, and then the neighbor Zhang's mother also rushed over, lassoed her own vicious dog, and after repeatedly apologizing, she led her vicious dog home and locked it up.

Xia Yu, who was so frightened that he was crying with tears on his face, stumbled into the house with almost no strength and sat on the bench.

Wang Xiuzhen immediately closed the wooden door, inserted her sharp and sturdy kitchen knife into the wooden chain, and gave Xia Yu a cup of warm boiled water, Xia Yu drank it tremblingly, Wang Xiuzhen brought out a bowl of carrot fried pork slices, and a large bowl of noodles.

This is Wang Xiuzhenwen's supper left for Xia Yu on the stove. After seeing the delicious food, Xia Yu slowly forgot the panic and loss of soul just now, and ate it one bite at a time. The local pork that was not fed a single feed, and the pure green carrots in the house, had a faint sweetness, crispy and delicious, and it was really fragrant.

Xia Yu began to eat in large gulps, Wang Xiuzhen watched the heartless Xia Yu concentrate on eating, and then went back to bed and continued to watch TV. When Xia Yu finished washing, Wang Xiuzhen immediately turned off the TV and gave Xia Yu and Xia Jie a quiet and sufficient sleep.

After the night of frightening, Xia Yu went home from self-study at night, and was always very careful when he passed by Zhang's house, and prepared a wooden stick in his hand at any time.

Soon after New Year's Day, the winter vacation began, and as the atmosphere of the Spring Festival on TV became stronger and stronger, Wang Xiuzhen's mother and son thought about it day and night, and finally waited for their father Xia Changde to come home on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve.

Looking at Xia Changde's worn-out duffel bag carrying large bags and small bags, as well as his increasingly thin and dark skin, Xia Yu felt that Xia Changde was several years older.

Xia Jie didn't sleep all night, waiting for his father's return. As soon as Xia Changde arrived home, Xia Yu began to burn the fire in the kitchen, Wang Xiuzhen fried this year's fresh pork for her husband, Xia Changde sat on the table and drank a little wine, and took out a small gift for the mother and son.

What was given to Wang Xiuzhen was a piece of Wang Xiuzhen's most expensive dress to date, a light brown long down jacket worth 300 yuan. What was given to Xia Yu was an English point reader, which was specially designed to improve Xia Yu's English listening score. What was given to Xia Jie was a game console that Xia Jie had been hungry for a long time and could be connected to the TV.

Xia Changde's gifts to the mother and son were very intimate, and the family squeezed on the embroidery bed at night and talked for a long time, and Xia Yu Xia Jie fell asleep at ten o'clock before returning to his room to sleep.

Judging from the gifts brought back by Xia Changde, it seems that Xia Changde has a good harvest this year. Sure enough, the next day, Wang Xiuzhen began to go to the neighbor's house to repay the money. After Xia Changde woke up the next day, he went to visit Wu Chunhua, sent some nutritional products and some banknotes, and looked at the eldest son, who had always been unable to support the wall and had no interest in honoring himself this year, the awkward Wu Chunhua immediately smiled, killed a chicken that day, and invited Xia Yu's family to the hall for a meal, which made the relationship between Wu Chunhua and the eldest son's family temporarily improve.

During the meal, Xia Changde mentioned that Wu Chunhua was old and had a hard time carrying water, and it was convenient for everyone to install a water pipe for Wu Chunhua, Wu Chunhua must have agreed, and the family at the banquet had a rare and happy meal.

On the eve of the Spring Festival, Wang Xiuzhen's steamed rice cakes were sold out at about ten o'clock in the crowd of people who came to buy New Year's goods. This year, Xia Changde got the money back, and Wang Xiuzhen felt that he should buy new clothes for a pair of children. In the afternoon, the family went shopping together and bought a dress for everyone, ready to celebrate the New Year happily.

After installing the tap water pipe at home, it means that Xia Yu no longer has to carry water. Wang Xiuzhen also bought a rice milk machine very happily, which is convenient for Wang Xiuzhen to continue to sell steamed cakes, which also means that Xia Yu and Xia Jie don't have to push the stone mill by hand. The siblings had much less labor. Xia Yu felt that his family had taken another step towards a better life of poverty alleviation.

At noon, when eating stewed pig's trotters with snow beans, Xia Yu made a suggestion to Xia Changde: "Dad, you are free now, go buy some bricks and come back, and give us a simple bathroom in the open space next to the pigsty."

You are hardly at home in the summer, and it is very inconvenient for us to take a shower at home. ”

Xia Changde and Wang Xiuzhen thought that their daughters and sons were older, this suggestion was good, and they wanted to repair the house regardless of consideration, so the couple had to temporarily promise that they would consider it.

Xia Changde went home and heard that his neighbors were envious of him, a scumbag who didn't finish the second grade of primary school, and actually gave birth to a super student like Xia Yu, and they were all sighing about genetic mutations. Xia Changde, who has always been sneered at by neighbors, finally raised his face in front of everyone because of Xia Yu, and took more fancy to his eldest daughter.

It just so happened that Wang Xiuzhen proposed that Xia Yu would continue to be the first in the exam this semester, and he should fulfill his promise to meet Xia Yu and Xia Jie's desire to go to the county to play. On the sixth day of the first lunar month, the family finished breakfast early and got on the crowded shuttle. Looking happily at the scenery outside the window, after staggering for more than an hour, I finally came to the station in the county seat.

The reborn Xia Yu has the memory of his previous life, and he doesn't have much impression of the county seat after living for three years, but Wang Xiuzhen and Xia Jie are like Grandma Liu who entered the Grand View Garden, looking left and right excitedly. Seeing the people coming and going in the county, the mother and son were extremely excited and envious.

The first stop of the family tour was to go along Zhuangyuan Road to see the key high school that Xia Yu would study in the future. There is a Song Dynasty Zhuangyuan archway on Zhuangyuan Road, and there is a county high school with decades of experience in running schools next to it.

Xia Yu looked at the bookstores next to Zhuangyuan Road, thinking about whether he would buy a book and take a look at his masterpiece.

Just when Xia Yu was thinking, Xia Yu didn't see that in the narrow alley of Zhuangyuan Road, a young, handsome and somewhat feminine little beautiful man kept looking at Xia Yu's family in surprise.

Xia Yu looked at Xinhua Bookstore and told his parents that he wanted to buy an English dictionary, and his parents were waiting on the side of the road, Xia Yu Xia Jie entered the bookstore. The feminine and beautiful man also followed Xia Yu's sister and brother into the bookstore.

Xia Jie looked at the many martial arts novels in the book curiously, Xia Yu looked for periodical readings, and sure enough, he saw his own novel, Xia Yu was very happy, chose an English dictionary, and left with Xia Jie who was reluctant to leave after checking out.

After Xia Yu left, the feminine and beautiful man who followed Xia Yu's sisters and brothers all the way into the Xinhua bookstore kept observing Xia Yu's movements, and when Xia Yu left, he took out the journal that Xia Yu had just bought, flipped through the contents, and looked at the eye-catching pen name of "Rain Flick", the feminine beautiful man's eyes widened in surprise, could she ......

The little handsome guy with a melancholy face looked at Xia Yu's back with some complications, and slowly left.

The family came to the county after walking the end of the Zhuangyuan Road, looking at the locked gate, Xia Changde said to Xia Yu: "Look, you will study here for three years in high school in the future." ”

Xia Yu nodded: "Hmm." ”

After passing the Zhuangyuan archway, the family began to walk along the foot of the mountain towards the dilapidated ancient city wall, and leisurely climbed the thousand-step ladder to the park at the top of the mountain. Looking at the characteristic farmhouse built in the park and the only four-star hotel in the county that is resplendent and full of local tyrant atmosphere. Xia Yu's family felt as humble as a speck of dust, ashamed of themselves in front of this lively county town and a magnificent hotel.

Xia Yu looked at his parents and the inferiority complex and shame on Xia Jie's face, Xia Yu shook his head and pulled Xia Jie away. When walking on the road, Xia Yu didn't know if it was his own illusion, and always felt that there was a thin appearance in front of him, a very familiar feeling.

Xia Yu was not sure, squinted carefully, he was not particularly myopic at this time, and the thin man in front of him could recognize it even if he turned into ashes. Isn't this his ex-husband? Oh, no, Zhang Shan and himself have not yet successfully divorced, so they should not be called ex-husbands. After being reborn, the two have not yet married, so they can only be said to be enemies.

Looking at the thick hair on his forehead now, there is a big difference from the bald middle-aged man who was about to become a Mediterranean before. Although he is thinner, his facial features are particularly similar to the young legendary Prince Charming in the original wedding photos.

Xia Yu was twenty-three years old when he met Zhang Shan, and it was the first time Xia Yu saw such a young Zhang Shan, and at the same time, he also saw Zhang Yan with a pointed chin next to Zhang Shan, as well as young in-laws. The current Zhang Yan is different from the double chin in his previous life, as well as the swimming ring on his waist, with white skin and beautiful appearance, and a natural beauty embryo.

It's really a place in life where we don't meet, when I didn't know each other, maybe the two passed by thousands of times like this, but they were still strangers. But after being reborn, Xia Yu, who had memories of his previous life, looked at her husband who was so young, and remembered the grievances and sadness she suffered in her marriage with him.

Xia Yu immediately withdrew his gaze and looked at the cactus several meters tall in the distance. Even if they don't want to know each other, Zhang Lang is a passerby from then on.

At the moment when Xia Yu resolutely turned his head to look at the cactus, Zhang Shan, who had been nervous and young, followed behind his parents, quietly looking at Xia Yu's side face, with some disappointment, a little decline and a touch of melancholy, passing by, leaving Xiao Suo's thin back.
