Chapter 2: Rejoicing in the heart
I saw that the outside of the house was the place I was most familiar with since I was a child.
The four three-room small bungalows, with red walls and blue tiles, are so old that whenever it rains, the rainwater will drip from the beams, resulting in the red brick walls being full of mottled rain stains. Outside the house, there is a small courtyard, simply fenced with cement bricks. On top of the cement bricks, there are a few pots of grass that I dug up from the vegetable patch, just because the flowers of those grasses are very beautiful, and the small white petals are extremely elegant.
There is a small pressurized water well at the far edge of the courtyard. At that time, pressurized water wells were the main source of water for rural people..... The small pressurized water well is mottled with green paint. Once upon a time, I didn't know how much groundwater I had pumped up for my grandmother with this small pressurized well.
The weather was cold and gloomy, as if it was about to rain, and the occasional wind blew by, and the cold was biting. There was a telephone pole outside the courtyard wall, and from time to time sparrows stopped on it, chirping.
I was shocked in my heart, everything in front of me made Wen Wanbing like a dream, stupid, leaning against the door of the room, and was stunned on the spot!
"I don't wear shoes, and it costs money to get an injection if I have a bad cold! Is it easy for me to get up early and stay up late to make money!? What a broom star! How could my son give birth to a daughter like you?! At that time, I might as well go with your dad and end up clean! ”
The grandmother who followed behind her was chattering, still full of complaints, and her hoarse and sharp voice exhausted the vicissitudes and helplessness of this life.
“......”
Sigh in my heart.
I have listened to these words of my grandmother too much, and as long as she is at home, she will repeat a few words every day. Now when I stand in front of my grandmother again, I feel that my grandmother's verbosity is so kind.
Outside the low cement brick wall, there is a small dirt road that leads to the road not far away. The road was made of stones and mud, and when it rained, it would be covered with mud, and there would be no way to get your feet.
I remember when I was in high school, I went home when I was most afraid of rain. Because as soon as I go home, the worn-out rubber-soled shoes on my feet will be soaked in water, and then they will be covered with mud, and every step will be extremely difficult.
"Aunt Wen, your chickens were driven away by me, you go to see my cabbage, the sprouts that have just grown are almost eaten by your chickens."
At the gate of the courtyard, there was an extremely thin middle-aged man, with a dark face and a scruffy beard, as if he had just returned from farm work outside, and his dark blue tunic was covered with mud everywhere!
The tone of his voice was not very good, and his gaze in the direction of his grandmother's eaves carried the stinginess and power that was unique to the countryman.
"Hey, Xiaoice is back from vacation? Is it the third year of junior high school this year? Come on and study, and in the future, you will be admitted to a good university like your father, and become the first person in our village to jump out of the farm! ”
The middle-aged man complained, and suddenly saw Wen Wanbing standing by the door, the bad tone just now suddenly became gentle, and his unshaven face also had a smile, looking amiable.
The middle-aged man's smile reminded Wen Wanbing of the ugly face of his grandmother who wanted to occupy her family's vegetable patch after she passed away.
The third uncle in this grandmother's mouth is the neighbor behind her house.
In the countryside, basically every family will have a little kinship, so according to the generation, this person is her third uncle.
Third?
The third uncle's words made Wen Wanbing a little stunned, and did not answer the third uncle's question. Ignoring his unconscious feet, which had been frozen by the cold wind outside, he turned around quickly, ran to the hall of his house, walked around an old brown leather sofa, and began to look through the calendar next to the shrine with his feet (his height had shrunk significantly.....
The calendar in my grandmother's house was given by the owner who sold the feed when she went to buy feed. Under the big red flower cluster calendar painting, my eyes searched up and down, and finally saw that in the middle, under a red peony flower, there was a line of golden italics!
In 2005!
In 2005!
Shocked in my heart, I was reborn back in 2005? Why not crossing? There are so many kinds of crossing, rebirth, it seems that it really comes from life!
At this moment, Wen Wanbing didn't know whether to be grateful or sad, looking at the golden numbers of "2005", her heart was mixed!
"Grandma, what time is it today?"
Ever since he was running around the house like a madman, his grandmother had been following him.
Quickly flipped through the calendar and couldn't help asking. The voice was anxious and urgent.....
The weather is very cold, and this small mountain village in the south is not like the big city, and it can be unusually cold in winter! I've been in a thin pajama for a long time in a house that looks like an ice cellar.
The calendar book shows that this month is November, which coincides with the month in Sioux City before he committed suicide!
However, as soon as her voice came out, Wen Wanbing was stunned.
The voice of his own voice in his ears sounded immature and delicate, tender, like that little girl.
"Xiaoice, what's wrong with you? It's burnt and confused! You've been out of tune since you woke up in the morning, walking around barefoot like a madman on a cold day! Hurry up and catch the chickens, otherwise your third uncle will be unhappy there again! ”
Xiaoice, who got up early in the morning and called for a lazy sleep in bed, had already gotten up at this time during the holidays on weekdays. Today's Xiaoice is very strange, wandering around the house crazy early in the morning, and not wearing shoes.
On such a cold day, I only saw that Xiaoice's feet had become dark and blue, and they were obviously frozen.
Although I was a little worried in my heart, I didn't pay too much attention to it. Xiaoice, this child, has always been very quiet and sensible. The appearance is also getting better and better, and the more I look at it, the more ominous I feel, and it is not at all like the ordinary appearance of my honest son.
I have always had doubts in my heart that Xiaoice's mother, a good-looking urban girl with a good family, would marry her son who was poor at home.
For her, an old lady in the countryside, this is completely wrong. Although he was against it in his heart, his son liked it, so he went along with him.
How did he know that his son was completely unblessed and died early.
This daughter of my son has always been a disaster star, a broom star! Not long after she was born, she killed her old man, and there were a series of accidents in the family, none of which went well, so she didn't have a good impression of this foxy little girl in her heart at all.
It's just that after getting along for so many years, there is no family affection, and there is a trace of pity in it.
Seeing Xiaoice walking in a panic at home, he was a little worried.
“......”
Grandma's words, Wen Wanbing listened to them, but what she didn't expect was that there was a hint of worry in grandma's words.
This made Wen Wanbing's heart soften, turned her head, looked at the old and haggard face of her grandmother in her impression, and called softly and affectionately.....
"Grandma, grandma!"
"Xiaoice, are you alright!?"
I only saw that my grandmother's eyes were full of doubts, this was the first time I had looked directly into my grandmother's eyes since I was so old.
She has always been haunted by the fact that after she was admitted to college, her grandmother committed suicide because she was overwhelmed. Even if I was with Tang Wei later, when I dreamed back at midnight, I would sigh deeply in my heart.
Grandma's death left too many regrets and shadows for Wen Wanbing!
"I'm fine, Grandma! Is it the 17th today? That's Saturday! You go and get busy with yours first, and I'll go and drive the chickens back later. And washing the dishes after coming back....."
I don't know why, just after glancing at my grandmother, Wen Wanbing didn't dare to continue looking. Because she was afraid that her crazy beating heart would jump out of her throat!
Looking at the calendar, I feel that it is a real day!
It's not a dream!
I have been born again! In 2005, Wen Wanbing was 14 years old! She was in her third year of junior high school in the township where she lived, because of the long distance and in order to avoid too much contact with her grandmother, she chose to board in the school in the first year of junior high school......
14 years old? I was reborn at the age of 14!
If everything in front of her is true, it means that Tang Wei has not passed away, and her Tang Wei is still alive in this world. Tang Wei in 2005 was just 20 years old, in the prime of his youth!
The things that I often fantasized about in my dreams in my previous life happened to me miraculously. Just thinking about it, Wen Wanbing was so excited that she couldn't wait to set off to Sioux City immediately to find Tang Wei, who was a sophomore at Sioux City Public Security University!
At this moment, tears slipped from the corners of his eyes little by little, sliding on the gray cement floor, a small water circle, soaking his heart!
"Crying for what? I didn't scold you! You have to do your own things, and remember to wash your clothes, don't be lazy! ”
Grandma didn't expect Wen Wanbing, who had always been very cold, to shed tears in front of her, her face was not very good, and her voice that had just told Wen Wanbing to do things gradually lowered her voice, muttered, and turned around and left the hall.
“......”
Tears fell silently, in Wen Wanbing's opinion, these were tears of joy, tears of joy after her rebirth!
For Wen Wanbing, her rebirth is a benefit given to her by Grandpa God. And her Tang Wei is waiting for her in that beautiful Sioux City!
My heart was excited, and the tears were even more joyful.
In this bleak southern countryside in November, a little girl who looked like she was about ten years old was standing barefoot on the gray concrete floor, crying profusely.
I only saw the thin washed and completely unrecognizable wide pajamas fluttering in the cold wind that occasionally blew into the hall, and the clear face was resolute!
Although my body is cold, my heart is so hot!
Tang Wei, Bing'er has been reborn!
You wait, Bing'er will definitely come to you against all odds and be with you against all odds!
In your last life, you loved Bing'er so much, and in this life, Bing'er will use all her efforts to be happy with you!
Miss you so much!
Tang Wei!
