Chapter 1, Rebirth
Lu Wanqing felt weak all over and her eyelids were so heavy that she couldn't open her eyes. It seemed like she had a cold. She wanted to turn over and get a few regular cold medicines from the bedside table, but she felt like she was bound by something and could not move.
Then, she felt a pair of small hands pushing her, and kept shouting in her ear: "Sister, sister, why don't you? Get up and drink a bowl of sour and salty water before sleeping. After drinking, you will sweat and get cold."
Wait, what? Sour and salty water? (Sour pickles, which is the kimchi water you make at home now) Drinking sour and salty water makes you sweat? Lu Wanqing felt that she had auditory hallucinations. When she was a child, her family was poor and had a cold, and she had a sickness. Not to mention seeing a doctor, she couldn't even afford medicine, so she could only drink some sour and salty water and then sleep with a quilt and sweat to cure the cold.
But, what era is it now? Who still drinks that cold? Every household has basically prepared commonly used cold medicines. If it is not good, they will go to the clinic or hospital to take some medicine and take it home.
Maybe people are old, so they often think of things when they were young, so even dreaming of those things.
"Second, what do you care about her? It's better to let her suffer. It won't be worry-free if you can do it all day long!" Just as Lu Wanqing sighed in her heart, a familiar and sad and unfamiliar voice came in from outside. Isn't this the voice of my mother?
This dream was really real. She smelled the smell of sour and salty water. Then, Lu Wanqing felt that someone was helping her up. A cold touch came from her lips. Then, the sour and salty water flowed into her mouth...
"Cough, cough, cough..." The smell is so sour and salty that it is a life-threatening one. Lu Wanqing was so choked by the smell that he coughed hard. Why doesn't this feel like he's dreaming? It's really, it's a bit too real!
I don’t know if the sour and salty water had the effect, but she barely opened her eyes and looked up and saw the small figure in front of her. She was shocked. This little face was familiar and unfamiliar. Isn’t this her second sister?
Lu Wanqing thought she had long forgotten the way her second sister looked when she was young. Now, seeing her yellow and thin little face, she was stunned and her tears fell involuntarily. It would be great to see her second sister again. If this was a dream, she would rather not wake up again!
The second sister has been smart since childhood and has good reading. Her grades are the best among the four siblings. However, because the family conditions were too difficult when she was a child, just like her, she stopped studying after graduating from junior high school, but decided to go out to work.
However, it was strongly opposed by my father. Speaking of which, both father and daughter were very stubborn. One was determined to leave, and the other was determined not to. In the end, when the father could not persuade the second sister, he made a harsh statement and told her not to enter the house again when she went out!
In the end, the second sister left, but she didn't come back after leaving. At the beginning, she didn't even have a letter. It was not until she got married that she wrote a letter to her family. At that time, the two parties had contacted each other, but she never came back.
Later, the second sister gave birth to a daughter. When the child was two or three years old, she brought the child back once, but she still didn't go home. She just stayed at her house for a few days. The siblings and their families took a big photo. She looked through the old photos yesterday.
Then, it disappeared a few years after the second sister and her family returned, and the young sister disappeared. At that time, she had seen her father crying secretly. At that time, they really wanted to see how the second sister had disappeared, but the conditions did not allow their family to go to another province.
In the end, my younger brother went there alone, and the news that I got back was suicide. As for the reason, my younger brother couldn't find out at all, but she didn't believe it. My younger sister has been smart since she was a child, so how could she commit suicide easily? Unfortunately, she couldn't find out the cause of her sister's death.
Because at that time, Lu Wanqing herself encountered great difficulties. Something happened to her husband Chen Guodong. She had done a good job in contracting a project in City G, but in the end she not only broke her leg, but also almost lost her life.
She was distracted by the family affairs and didn't even know how her husband had an accident. How could she spend half of her energy to check the cause of her sister's death? In the end, her family, which was originally considered a well-off family, owed several thousand yuan in foreign debts.
Thousands of dollars in the 1990s were not a small amount. If Chen Guodong had not been a good person, how could he borrow so much money? I thought that he would have worked harder to work outside and live a good life, but who knew that more than two years later, Chen Guodong disappeared...
Since then, she not only has to raise her children, but also earn money to pay off her debts. Often, the old debt has not been paid back and new debts have been added. It took decades to raise her children, pay off her debts, buy a house, watch the children get married and have children.
"Sister, are you clanging? Are you feeling uncomfortable or hungry?" Seeing that my sister coughing constantly and crying, Lu Wanxuan was a little panicked. She quickly patted her sister's back and asked anxiously, her little face full of worries.
"Second, come out to cook quickly. Do you want to be lazy by your elder sister? I tell you, if you don't cook, you don't want to eat today!" Li Xiaoqiong stared at the house with dissatisfaction, all the blame for the boss for insisting on attending a performance, but he ended up having a fever as soon as he came back!
She went out to do work for a long time, but she couldn't eat a bite of hot rice when she got home, and her lungs were furious. It was all because of the children's father's fault that they insisted on letting the children go to school day by day, asking her to tell that her daughters are all money-lossing and that they are from other people's families after going to school, so it's better to get them back and let them go to work and earn work points!
When Lu Wanxuan heard the shouts outside, her little face turned pale. She slowly put her elder sister flat on the bed and said, "Sister, you sleep for a while and sweat. If you feel uncomfortable, call me, I'll go to cook." After that, she walked away with her calves holding a bowl.
Lu Wanqing stared at her sister's back in a daze, and reached out to pinch herself hard. It hurts, it hurts so much. Could it be that this is not a dream? She suddenly thought of the novels such as rebirth and time travel that her daughter and her niece discuss all day long.
Could it be that she really encountered rebirth like what her daughter often said? Thinking of this, Lu Wanqing felt incredible. Rebirth, wouldn’t it only appear in novels? Why did she meet it?
