In the early 1980s, although national policies were liberalized, in the small valleys surrounded by mountains, they were just starting to divide the production into households. Although every household could have a little spare money, it was just a solution to food and clothing. The implementation of family planning was the result of this remote mountain village that favored boys over girls, but it was more important than the disbandment of the production team at the time. Perhaps this is something that the Chinese people cannot escape from in their bones for thousands of years.

A village with more than 500 households was built at the foot of the mountain, facing north and south. In a small farmhouse yard to the west of the middle of the village, three-year-old Xie Zhao sat on the steps at the door of the main hall, listening to the heart-wrenching shouts in the room in confusion, looking up at the young grandmother and aunt, and the aunt sitting beside Xie Jiao. Xie Zhao leaned back, leaning back against the cold wall, and then took a breath invisibly.

Looking down at the little hands in front of her, Xie Zhao thought in confusion, wasn't she dead? She watched herself lying in the morgue of the hospital for three days before being rushed to the crematorium by her parents who rushed to the crematorium. After that, she knew nothing, but what was going on now? She was very familiar with this scene, but why was she here, and what about the three-year-old herself?

Leaning against the wall and closing his eyes, Xie Zhao couldn't figure out how this happened. After a person died, he was over. What was this? He lived again on himself. He had no nostalgia for his previous life. So what if he lived? His father didn't love his mother or his sisters, and he lived for more than 40 years. Only then did he realize that no one in this world cares about her. If he doesn't care, he doesn't care. But those relatives who were connected with blood that she cared about were always in her. What does it mean to live like this?

"Zhaozhao, come here to grandma. Mom is giving birth to a younger brother for Zhaozhao. Zhaozhao is not afraid!" Grandma Xie looked at her three-year-old granddaughter leaning against the wall and crying, and then she remembered that her daughter-in-law gave birth to a child in the room. The sound of howling scared the child, so she suppressed her impatient heart and reached out to carry her granddaughter into her arms.

In a trance, she was hugged into a warm embrace. Xie Zhao froze directly. She had not had physical contact with anyone for many years, let alone being held in her arms. Looking at her young grandmother, Xie Zhao was stunned again. Her grandmother had been dead for more than ten years. She left without illness or disaster. She left with a smile in her sleep. People in the village said that her grandmother will have both good fortune and fortune in her life, and her husband will not be able to leave her. She followed her less than a week after she left, and she also left without illness or disaster.

In fact, Xie Zhao's family is considered good in the village. Grandpa and grandma Xie are very kind to their children and grandchildren. Although they may be a little more concerned about their sons and grandchildren, they also love their daughters and granddaughters very much. Xie Zhao's father and brothers have two sisters, namely Xie Zhao's uncle and aunt. The uncle has two cousins ​​and one cousin, and the aunt has a cousin and a cousin.

Only Xie Zhao's father gave birth to two daughters, one of the eldest daughters, Xie Jiao, the second daughter is Xie Zhao, and the younger daughter, the little baby that Xie mother is giving birth to now. For the sake of the whole family, they thought it would be the younger brother's sister, and were ordered to be fined for the violation of family planning. The family, which was originally a little rich, borrowed a lot of foreign debts for this. Because of these foreign debts, Xie Zhao did not even go to junior high school, and the teenage child began to find ways to earn money to support his elder sister and younger sister to study.

If it was just like this, Xie Zhao would not complain. The family had no money, and it was really not easy to raise their sisters and their three parents. They were all family members. Xie Zhao also wanted to share more for her parents, but she could not let her pay for her sisters after graduation, earn dowry for her sisters, and subsidize her parents, and help her sisters raise her nephews and nieces. That's the case, what did Xie Zhao get? The eldest sister and young sister dislike Xie Zhao's embarrassment for not studying, and her parents disliked her earning too little money and could not help her older sister and younger sister.

But who has ever taken care of Xie Zhao? Xie Zhao is over forty years old and has no husband or children. He is still disliked by his sisters as an old girl who cannot get married. He is so embarrassed to his family. Even so, Xie Zhao will not have ambitions to die. However, when Xie Zhao was diagnosed with gastric cancer, all his family members asked her to give up treatment. It is said that cancer cannot be cured and cannot be left with money. But the doctor clearly stated that Xie Zhao is only in the early stage of gastric cancer and has a high probability of curing it.

Half a year, just half a year, Xie Zhao fainted while going to the hospital for painkillers because of the spread of cancer cells and not cooperating with or without treatment. After being hospitalized for less than two days, Xie Zhao died of illness. After notifying his family in the hospital, his parents went to the hospital to collect the body of Xie Zhao three days later and hurried to the crematorium. Xie Zhao lived for decades for his parents and sisters, but no relatives were around him when he was dying. After his death, he stayed alone in the morgue for three days before he was taken away.

"Zhaozhao, Zhaozhao, what's wrong with you? Zhaozhao!" After a long time, Grandma Xie looked down at the child in her arms, but found that Xie Zhao's face was pale, her teeth were clenched, her eyes were closed, but tears rolled down like strings of beads. Grandma Xie was so shocked that she shouted Xie Zhao's nickname in absent voice.

"Zhaozhao, Zhaozhao, Xie Zhao!" Xie Zhao, who had unconsciously closed the five senses, smiled mockingly. "Zhao" was connected to "Zhao". Why did she forget that her original name was not "Xie Zhao" but "Xie Zhao". The "Zhao" of "Zhao" was just a misleading dialect of her father when she was registered. She directly wrote "Xie Zhao" as "Xie Zhao". Her elder sister was named Xie Jiao, and her young sister was named Xie Bao. One was the beautiful girl in her father's palm and the other was the treasure in her mother's palm. What is her "Xie Zhao"?

The three-year-old little body was cold and stiff, and was held in the arms of Grandma Xie. Xie Zhao's aunt and aunt were also frightened. None of them knew why the little niece who was obediently sitting on the steps without crying or making trouble suddenly became like this. After looking at the room that was still closed, Grandma Xie quickly said to Aunt Xie: "Xinghua, go and call the doctor, go quickly!"

Looking at the sister-in-law's figure, the eldest aunt of the Xie family thought for a moment and said, "Mom, let Dahai and Dashan come back. The younger brother and sister are giving birth now. Zhao Zhao suddenly did this again. Let Dashan come back and take a look!"

"Okay, Jiaojiao, go to the land to call your grandfather, uncle and father, and say there is something urgent at home! Let them come back soon!" Grandma Xie did not bother with her about her eldest daughter-in-law's little thoughts, but said to Xie Jiao who was a little scared by the side. It was okay for Xie Jiao, who was already seven years old, to go to the land to call someone back.
