Volume 1 The Wind Rises Chapter 1 Little Lotus is Dewed
A burly old man was kneeling in the back room to worship the ancestral tablet, praying anxiously!
"Birth, birth!" With a series of shouts in the delivery room, the old man immediately got up and went to the hall.
Everyone in the hall was happy when they heard this, and an older one asked, "Boys and girls?"
Before she could hear the answer, the room suddenly became quiet again, and a middle-aged woman opened the curtain and came out, looking a little flustered, she walked straight to the old man and whispered: "Uncle Liu, it's a boy, but this child is a little weird!"
Everyone gathered around, and a sturdy young man eagerly asked, "What's the matter?"
Then the woman said, "The children are all right, but the children did not cry when they were born, and they said something, which frightened us!"
At this time, an old woman came up and said, "This is strange, is there Su Hui? I have heard of such a strange thing, but it is extremely rare, what did the child say?"
Liu Laohan saw that she was the Zhao matchmaker in the village, and she was also an elder of his own family, knowing that she was traveling east and west, and he was well-informed, so he hurriedly came over, and the middle-aged woman said: "We didn't hear too clearly, but the child didn't cry, coughing and spitting, as if to say, 'Wow, don't die on prison!'"
Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, and they all wondered what this sentence meant, and after a while, the curtain opened, and a mother-in-law came out, she was holding a child in her arms, wrapped in a quilt, and the quilt was still moving, "Don't move, you kid be honest, show you your father and your father!"
Liu Laohan and his son immediately surrounded him, looked down, and saw a wrinkled little face in the quilt, while trying to break free from the shackles of the quilt, he tried to stare at everyone with dark eyes, and opened his mouth to speak but could only make babbling sounds.
Mrs. Zhao squeezed away everyone at this time, brought her old face over, and asked loudly, "Little brother, what do you want to say?"
The child suddenly saw a wrinkled old face coming over, he was startled at first, and when he heard Mrs. Zhao's words, he stopped struggling and began to turn his head and try to look at the people around him. It seemed that he could see something clearly, and he actually danced and laughed. But when he saw his little hands, he burst into tears.
Seeing this, Mrs. Zhao nodded, turned her head and said to Liu Laohan: "Big brother, I guessed right, this child has Su Hui, remember his previous life, you take care of it, maybe you can make a big difference?"
At this moment, a dark cloud drifted from out of nowhere. A bolt of lightning struck down on the jujube tree in front of his house. The jujube tree was split into several knots, and the trunk burned, but it was soon extinguished by a torrential rain that followed.
Everyone had never seen this kind of scene, they were all startled, frightened, and looked behind the window and door in a daze, and finally it was the well-informed Zhao Matchmaker who reacted first.
She slapped her thigh and said loudly: "My God! Today is the Midyear Festival, this child's soul must have a background, I don't know where it came from, it can actually attract heavenly thunder, but it's amazing! Big brother, this is an extraordinary omen, you have to take good care of this child." ”
"Also, don't cut the old jujube tree outside, it's lightning strike wood, see if it can germinate, if it's still alive, cut it off and make a gadget for him to take with him." It would be better if there was a lump in it, that thing would ward off evil spirits the most. ”
Everyone was amazed when they heard it, and after a while, seeing that the rain had stopped, it was time for dinner, and everyone congratulated Liu Laohan and went home for dinner.
Liu Laohan thanked him while sending it, "Later, when the child is full moon, please eat and drink." ”
When he came back after sending everyone back with a roar, he saw that his son was holding the child and smirking while watching, so he snatched it up, "You hurry up and see your daughter-in-law!" ”
The child cried and laughed and struggled, but after the thunder and lightning suddenly fell silent and fell asleep. Liu Laohan looked at his grandson, whose eyebrows and eyes had not yet grown, and grinned.
Liu Laohan didn't even have a name, everyone called him Liu Er when he was a child and when he was young, and when he was old, he called him Uncle Liu or Liu Laohan. His wife left early, leaving a total of one son, who is now the child's father, in order to bless the only son to grow up smoothly, he also spent money to hire someone to name him, called Liu Zhu, homophonic retention.
Liu Laohan worked hard for half his life to pull Liu Zhu into adulthood, married him a daughter-in-law, and now he finally has a grandson, and there are successors to the Liu family, how can he not be happy. As for Su Hui or something that Zhao Matchmaker said, in fact, he didn't care too much, whoever pays attention to these things in the Zhuang family as long as it is biological. The father and son have also discussed the name for a long time, and if it is a son, he will be called Jizu, hoping that he can grow up smoothly and inherit the bloodline of the Liu family.
And the baby is now asleep. In the dream, he remembered that he was an abandoned orphan who was sent to a welfare home by well-wishers, and because of his cleft lip and palate, no one wanted to adopt him, so he grew up in a welfare home.
Although he has a poor background and has some low self-esteem, he is optimistic, cautious, tenacious, very assertive and intelligent and studious. When he was older, the welfare institute sponsored him to go to school. Because he wanted to be independent as soon as possible, he also used his spare time such as weekends and holidays to learn cooking as a livelihood skill. I originally wanted to wait until I graduated from junior high school to find a job in a restaurant, and then save enough money to open my own restaurant.
But he didn't expect him to perform exceptionally in the high school entrance examination and was admitted to a key middle school in the city. As soon as the orphanage saw the rare opportunity, it persuaded him to continue his high school studies and take the university entrance examination in the future, and said that it would always sponsor him. He heeded the advice, continued to study in high school, and changed his mind to become a surgeon in the future, giving himself and those in need plastic surgery, for which he also taught himself a lot of medical knowledge.
Three years later, he did well in the college entrance examination and was admitted to a very good medical university. The welfare institute was very happy, and specially applied for a scholarship to let him go out for a walk, but he was so happy and sad that he accidentally fell into the lake.
He couldn't swim, so he just took off his life jacket, and after struggling a few times, he felt that he was starting to sink, and the pressure was increasing, and the water choked into his mouth, nose, and trachea, which was extremely uncomfortable, and his consciousness was slowly blurred.
I don't know how long later, just when he felt like he was about to fall into darkness forever, a sudden force squeezed him out of the water.
He complained while spitting out the water in his mouth, but found that his eyes could not see clearly, his ears could not hear clearly, his tongue did not obey, his strength had become smaller, and his whole body was sticky and uncomfortable. At this time, someone seemed to wash his body with hot water, and wrapped him tightly with a quilt, he didn't want to be restrained, so he struggled desperately.
After a while, there were many people around, and a wrinkled face slowly became clear, startling him, and then he could hear the words of this face clearly. At this time, he found that his body was slowly adapting, seeing more and more clearly, and his hearing was slowly getting better.
He looked around and found himself in a very rudimentary room with wooden beams and tiles on the roof. The people around are also dressed in ancient costumes, much like the people in costume TV series, but the clothes are very simple and old, not as glamorous as in TV.
He thought that he must have read too many time-traveling novels and was dreaming of time-traveling, so he laughed happily. But when he saw his own hands, they saw a pair of baby hands. This real feeling startled him, and when he finally pinched his own flesh and pinched it, and the real pain came to him, he realized that he might have really crossed over, and turned into a helpless baby, so he cried in frustration again.
At this moment, a lightning bolt pierced the sky, and a thunderclap came, and he instinctively felt fear, and his consciousness slowly blurred again. When he slowly recovered his consciousness, he found that although the memories of his previous life were still there, they had become a little blurry, as if they were separated by a membrane, and like a dream, distant and unreal.
As he struggled to continue searching for his other memories, he suddenly felt someone pick him up, shaking and humming. Listening to the gentle singing and feeling the immersion of the gentle embrace, it was so comfortable that it almost made him intoxicated.
He even wanted time to stop and stay in this moment forever, but he couldn't help but open his eyes. What caught his eye was a slightly chubby, ordinary-looking but extremely gentle face, just like his mother who had often imagined in his previous life.
The mother also seemed to feel it, looked down at him, and the two looked at each other, and the family affection that blood was thicker than water was overflowing.
This is exactly the family affection that Liu Jizu dreamed of, he even felt that the shortcomings in his heart were filled, and the memories of his previous life became more and more like a dream, and he even deliberately suppressed the bad memories of his previous life.
Although the Liu family is just an ordinary Zhuang family, food, clothing and housing are very ordinary, even simple, and cannot give him more material satisfaction, but they love him from the bottom of their hearts.
Although Liu Jizu's movement is restricted, he can still endure it in this loving family, not to mention that he spends most of his time in his sleep at his age.
A month has passed in the blink of an eye, and although the Liu family is poor, the full moon wine still has to be invited. Relatives and friends in Shili and Eight Villages heard about Liu Jizu's strange appearance when he was born, so they took the opportunity to congratulate him and came to see the strangeness. At the beginning, Liu Laohan was very happy, and when people came, they took out their precious grandson to tease everyone.
But then Liu Jizu got impatient, he played a small trick, as long as he hugged out, he would cry, no matter how he coaxed him, but as long as he hugged back to the back room, no one was around, and he stopped crying immediately.
After tossing and turning like this a few times, Liu Laohan finally understood what this kid meant, the old man loved his grandson, and if someone came to see him, he refused with various excuses. After the full moon wine, no matter how curious people came to see, the Liu family also refused with various excuses, and no one came to see it later.
Liu Jizu also slowly became familiar with this world, compared with the previous life, except for the difference in the times, most things are the same. It's just that he used to live in the city, but now it's a mountain village, there are obviously fewer people, but the environment is much better, and the air is obviously much fresher.
Because of the influence of the memories of his previous life, although Liu Jizu deliberately forbears, he still shows extraordinary in many places. He speaks early, learns things quickly, has opinions, and can speak fluently and walk very steadily when he is just one year old.
And he is curious, very studious, especially hygienic, and will take the initiative to exercise, and when he is three years old, he can help the family do some work within his ability. The whole family was very happy and surprised by this, but they knew that Liu Jizu didn't like outsiders to come to see him, so he wouldn't take the initiative to tell outsiders about his abnormal behavior.
