Chapter 2 Rebirth

After taking a deep breath and stretching for a long time, Chen Yuxi woke up from her sleep and opened her heavy eyes.

The slightly yellowed white mosquito net that has been washed, the two-small windows, the bulky old recorder on the old desk, the mud wall, the mottled red wooden door, the wooden board compartment, a large mahogany box, etc., everything is so familiar.

This is not my old house before, but I should be in the school dormitory now, so why are I here?

A sudden shock, my head, which was already a little confused, suddenly woke up, and I couldn't help but feel surprised.

This sound is not right, why is it so immature? I suppressed my anxiety and wanted to get up and go out to explore, but I realized that I was short and couldn't even turn my body, let alone get out of bed. What's going on? Xiaoxi was very uneasy.

Just as the stream was wondering what to do, the door opened, and a fair-looking woman in her twenties with a pretty face, slender limbs and simple dress came in.

Mother Chen, who was working outside the house, heard a small "ah" sound in the house, and then stopped talking. She pushed open the door to see if her daughter was awake.

Chen's mother pushed the door and went in. Because the room was dark, she just went in and saw that it was unclear. She missed the anxiety and surprise flashing in Xiaoxi's eyes.

Seeing his daughter grinning, squinting her eyes, making a "giggle" sound, she walked two steps to the bed, gently picked up her daughter, and then tidied up her clothes and asked softly: "Son, I'm awake, why are you so happy today?"

Looking at Chen's young face and thin body, it seems that she said she had given birth to her only 104 pounds, and she was not lying to herself.

In front of me, Chen's mother smiled, spoke gently, fair skin, and slim figure. Who would have thought that in more than ten years, she would become a middle-aged woman with a big belly that could not be reduced, a rough voice, and a bold behavior. Time, what did you let my mother experience? I have made my mother so hard.

Seeing her daughter's eyes dazed, Chen's mother thought she hadn't woken up, so she turned around and walked towards the desk, "Son, are you hungry? Mom makes you an egg, ah."

Xiaoxi, who came to his senses, quietly pinched her chubby pig's trotters on her fleshy thighs, "Hiss~ It hurts, it seems that this is true, I'm reborn, hahaha..." Xiaoxi was secretly happy in his heart.

"Son, did you wear the wrong gender? No, God tortured me like this? No, I'm just making eggs. I remember that after drinking my mother's milk for more than three months, I started to support her with eggs and glucose because her mother was pregnant again. So, it should be right." Xiaoxi couldn't help but think about it and called her smart again, "If I wear the wrong gender, it's really a waste of time."

The sun was shining brightly outside the house, and it was not cold this day. Why did my daughter tremble one by one, "Son, do you want to pee? Let's pee?"

Mother Chen held the stream and walked to the edge of the yard, and found a place to urinate her daughter. Because in the countryside, everyone felt that the child's feces and urine were not dirty, and they were all muddy, so she found a place to urinate.

Xiaoxi was still a little worried. He touched the place where he peed with his hands and shouted loudly in his heart: "Ah, that's right, that's right."

With excitement, Chen's mother picked up her daughter and went back to the house and gave the flossom flowers she had just washed to give to Xiaoxi. The stream felt the joy of being reborn until this time. She hugged the cup, shook her head and drank her "grain" in big mouthfuls.

After Chen's mother washed the cup, she carried Xiaoxi out and continued to do the work she had just stopped.

After a while, the sky gradually darkened until it was completely dark. Chen's mother packed up her workplace and carried the stream into the kitchen to make supper.

Dinner is very simple and fast, but it’s just cooking a pot of noodles, but you have to cook a pot of hot water first. When the people who work are working, they are sweating all over. When they come back to clean up and eat, it will be more comfortable.

Chen’s mother had just cooked a pot of hot water, and the people working were back.

"Guihua, have you boiled the wash water?" Before the person came in, Dad Chen's voice had already come in.

Xiaoxi looked at the familiar four relatives under the dim light, and then she truly felt that she was reborn.

Grandpa has always loved Xiaoxi very much because she was the first child of the Chen family and the first girl of the whole family. When she was a child, her parents went out to work, and it was grandpa and mother-in-law (here refers to grandma) who was taking care of herself, and the four people depended on each other for their own lives. Grandpa was the pillar of the family in Xiaoxi's heart. Xiaoxi always thought that grandpa would not fall, but when that day came, he was really heartbroken. At that time, Xiaoxi lived in a daze.

Grandpa Chen Youde is 61 years old this year and has three daughters and two sons with his mother-in-law. The eldest is a daughter named Chen Xiu, 33 years old this year, married to the Ye Jun family in the neighboring village-Jiangcun, and has two sons. The eldest is Ye Xiaofeng, 9 years old this year, and the second is Ye Xiaobo, 8 years old this year. The second is a daughter named Chen Cui, 30 years old this year, marrying Zhao Shun, and has two sons. The eldest is Zhao Kang, 6 years old this year, and the second is Zhao Lei, 5 years old this year. The third is a daughter named Chen Ping, 28 years old this year, marrying Li Lin family in the neighboring village-Lijia Village, and has one son named Li Wen, and is 4 years old this year. The fourth is a son, named Chen Wenwen, 24 years old this year, marry Luo Guihua from the village. Now the two have a daughter of more than four months, Chen Yuxi, and have one in their belly. The old and young are sons, named Chen Wenxue, 21 years old this year, and have not married yet, and are working outside.

In fact, when I was a child, Xiaoxi always complained that my mother-in-law was partial and loved her grandson. But later when my younger brother had an accident, my grandfather also went there. My parents worked outside and studied outside. The old man was alone at home. He really felt that the old man was pitiful. He would keep the delicious food for him to cook for him when he returned home during the winter and summer vacations. In fact, later I realized that my mother-in-law also loved him, but after all, the traditional concept of the older generation was passed down from generation to generation, so it was normal for boys to prefer some.

After the birth of my younger brother, he was fined 1,000 yuan. In 1996, 1,000 yuan was very valuable. Chen's father left his family and went out to work.

Dad Chen has done a lot of work, digging coal, moving houses, building construction sites, and opening hotels. Mom Chen said that Dad Chen used to be warm all year round. Once, he worked on a construction site and fell off several floors. After falling into the water, his body was cold and he was prone to cold during the season change.

The village where Xiaoxi is located is called Baiya Village, which is located in Cuiyun County, G City, Province. The village covers a wide area (at least the stream has never completed the village), surrounded by mountains, and a small river in the middle passes through it. The village also has a large population, and the village has a total of 6 production teams, with an average of 50 families in each production team, and Xiaoxi's family is in the second team.

Although the village has a large population, the village has not much labor force. Because the family is poor, young people choose to go out to work and make money, while the elderly stay at home to farm. Although almost everyone in the village is poor, they basically have a second child (the second child is fined), and then throw the child to the grandfather and mother-in-law to take care of.

Xiaoxi remembers that the first building in the village was built in 2001. It was a convenience store next to the village school. The owner himself was also a doctor and built a two-story building. Soon, another convenience store next to the school also built a two-story building, but it was even bigger. After two or three years, a building next to the village was built. Since then, the village has not built a building for several years. After the earthquake in 2008, the buildings in the village have sprung out like bamboo shoots after a rain and quickly broke out.

Xiaoxi's family was not built in 2008. In 2015, Chen's father and Chen's mother decided to repair the building, and the courtyard house that Chen's father liked.

For a time, Xiaoxi even hated his younger brother because he got most of the attention of the family. But after he had an accident, Xiaoxi kept complaining that he had not treated him well.

"Well, since I am reborn, I must prevent those bad things from happening again, so that my family can be happy and live a peaceful life." Xiaoxi decided in his heart.

"What's wrong with the stream?" Grandpa Chen asked in surprise when he looked at the stream that was crying silently.

Xiaoxi, who was thinking secretly, didn't notice it at all. He was staring at his family members blankly and shed tears silently.

"Are you hungry? Make her a cup of egg?"

"If you don't eat it, you might be peeing."

"Do you want to sleep?"

Just as the whole family was in a hurry, Xiaoxi started to laugh again.

Mother Chen looked at her daughter who was laughing happily and couldn't help but pat her twice, "You crazy girl, you were so scared that she cried and laughed all night."

Because Xiaoxi suddenly burst into tears, the family rushed to coax her. After coming to their senses, Chen's mother scooped up the water in the pot and started to put the noodles.

The family finally sat at the dining table and talked about starting rapeseed tomorrow.

Grandpa Chen, the head of the family, began to speak, "I have raked all the fields today, and I will start pulling rapeseed seedlings tomorrow."

Looking at his wife who was not pregnant yet, Chen's father said to his father: "Dad, Guihua will stay at home to pull seedlings tomorrow and leave the stream at the front of the house."

Dad Chen looked at his daughter who had been nearly five months old and had not turned back and had not turned back, and was sleeping soundly in his wife's arms, and said to Guihua: "Put the stream on the bed."

Chen's mother picked up Xiaoxi and put it on the bed in the bedroom. After covering the quilt, she returned to the kitchen.

Dad Chen and his friends had already discussed how to allocate tomorrow's work. Seeing that everyone had almost finished their meals, Chen's mother started to clean up the dishes and the kitchen. After everything was done, she went back to the bedroom with Dad Chen to go to bed.

After going to bed and turning off the lights, Chen's father whispered: "Guihua, you will be pulling seedlings at the house tomorrow, but you should be careful. You are only more than two months away now, so be careful."

Mother Chen nodded and agreed, "Well, I know, I will pay attention."

"Yeah, go to bed."
