Next Chapter

Although the sky was slightly overcast, the east was gradually whitening.

The northern land is facing the summer harvest, and every household in the mountain is working early and late in the morning, in anticipation of the arrival of the rainstorm to recover the grain.

Therefore, every family gets up early.

The Shen family in the east of the village is the earliest one in Tunzi.

However, it was Shen Mingxi, the third daughter of the Shen family's big house, who got up.

Although she is only 16 years old this year, she works very neatly.

She skillfully lit the fire in the stove room, and more than half a pot of water had been placed in the big iron pot, and at this time, it was steaming slightly.

She went out of the stove and went to the pigsty, where the two and a half pigs were still purring and sleeping, and she cleaned the pigsty, and filled the trough with the amaranth chopped last night, and went to the coop again.

At this time, both hens woke up and wandered around the yard looking for food.

She sprinkled some chaff leaves on a stone slab and took a broom to sweep the yard.

After the yard was cleaned, she sat on a wooden bench and began to wash the clothes of the second and third uncles and the grandparents' family.

I soaked a big pot full of it.

She rubbed her head for a moment, then slowly raised her head.

It was still quiet.

The three households living in the main house did not move at all, but there was a sound from the firewood house opposite.

It is inhabited by her family, who died early in her previous life.

parents, two older brothers, and a younger brother and sister.

At this time, they are all alive and well.

didn't leave her alone, and died tragically after suffering all kinds of suffering in the world.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

She covered her face to keep herself from whimpering.

And at this time, the door of the firewood room was pushed open, and Chen Li, who hurriedly walked out, saw her daughter covering her face and crying sadly, her heart ached, she stepped forward in three steps and two steps, squatted down, hugged her daughter in her arms, and complained in her tone, "Xiaoxi, your illness is just better, didn't Mom let you sleep more in the morning, you see, Mom is early to get up now......"

Shen Mingxi's shoulders were trembling.

Tears were still flowing wildly, and she stretched out her hand to hug Chen Li's waist, her mother's body was warm, not the mother who was so skinny that she couldn't close her eyes when she died.

Chen Li was frightened, glanced at the window of the main house in horror, and lowered her voice, "Xiaoxi, don't cry, Mom knows that you are wronged, but if your grandmother hears you crying in the morning, she will scold you again......"

After hearing these words, Shen Mingxi really stopped crying.

Yes, I will be scolded, and I will be scolded for being a mourning star, and I will be beaten while scolding......

She wiped a handful of tears and reluctantly pulled the corners of her mouth, "Mom, I've finished feeding the pigs and chickens, and the yard has been swept, you go add some fire and boiling water." ”

Chen Li looked at Shen Mingxi in disbelief, feeling as if something had changed, but if she looked closely, she was still her hard-working daughter.

Shen Mingxi saw that Chen Li was in a daze, and gently pushed her, "Mom, go quickly, grandma is about to get up." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of the door opening.

It came from the main house.

Chen Li didn't dare to delay any longer, and went to the stove room quickly.

Shen Mingxi lowered his head and began to wash his clothes.

His face was calm, but his heart seemed to be turbulent.

According to the timeline, she finally made up enough for her younger brother's medical expenses on August 3, 1996, but when she went to the hospital, her youngest brother, the only relative who was paralyzed in bed, strangled himself by hanging a rope at the head of the bed.

Before she could finish dealing with her younger brother's funeral, she was hit by a runaway truck.

After an untold pain, she fell into darkness.

But when she opened her eyes, she saw the vivid faces with concern under the dim oil lamp.

And they, once forever, disappeared from her life.

But now, on the night of August 3, 1979, we met again!

She barely sleeps all night.

I also understood that I should have died and lived again in 1979, when all the tragedies in the Shen family's house had not happened.

Thinking of the ending of her relatives in the future, Shen Mingxi's face turned pale, for nearly twenty years, she lost a relative every three years, as if someone had arranged it in the dark.

In those long years, she came step by step soaked in bitter water.

But in the end, he couldn't escape death.

Could it be that she is really the bane of the disaster star and the door of the door that grandma said?

If it really is, what should she do?

It is not a pity for her to die again, but she can no longer affect her relatives at home.

Thinking like this, there was a pain in my heart, but at this moment, the door of the main house opened, and an old lady in a black cardigan stood in the doorway.

She was not tall, and her gray hair was tied in a bun at the back of her head.

Slightly fat pants with leggings, and a pair of deep cloth shoes on the feet.

She is Shen Mingxi's grandmother, Mrs. Shen.

When he looked at Shen Mingxi, he snorted in disgust, and scolded in his mouth, "Mourning Star!" ”

Shen Mingxi's body stiffened, his head hung lower, but his hands did not delay at all.

After the old lady finished scolding, she glanced at the clean yard, looked at the clothes that had been washed for the most part, she pursed her lips, although Shen Mingxi's life was not good, but the work was really good, she turned around and went to the stove room.

In the stove room, Chen Li had already boiled the water in the cauldron.

She scooped out three scoops of boiling water from a wooden water scoop and put them in a wooden basin.

Then it was placed next to the pot table.

At this time, Mrs. Shen came in, glared at Chen Li, who lowered her eyebrows, lifted the corner of her clothes, and a bunch of keys hung on the waistband of her trousers, and she opened the lock that locked the cupboard, where there were jars of grain and pickles.

It is very tiring to cook three meals a day during the busy season, but even so, she shows up in the stove room on time, but it is impossible to cook.

She is in charge of supervising Chen Li, preventing her from secretly taking away the food to feed the mourning star and the two sick seedlings who were reincarnated by the starving ghosts.

By this time, she had already divided the food she was going to eat for the morning.

Two bowls of millet and a bowl of sorghum rice, as well as the coarse noodles that had been steamed last night in a wicker basket, and a large bowl of salted radish strips.

Chen Li glanced at it, and there was a white-flour steamed bun in the wicker basket, in a pile of coarse noodles that were slightly blackened, like the stars holding the moon.

She knew that it was for Shen Baozhi, the second daughter of her second brother's family.

She is deeply favored by Mrs. Shen, and she is simply the person on the tip of her heart.

Thinking of her two daughters, Chen Li's eyes became a little gloomy.

As if sensing her sight, Mrs. Shen's face changed instantly, she picked up a burning stick and hit Chen Li's waist with a stick, and scolded in her mouth, "What do you see, raising a mourning star, even affecting my eldest son, if it weren't for the lucky star of my Baozhi Bao girl, your family would be doomed......"
