Chapter 2 Rebirth

1996, May 28.

Su Jian was shaken awake and opened her eyes to see Liu Fang's anxious face.

"Daughter, you scared mom to death. Get up quickly and get dressed. Mom will take you to the hospital."

Su Jian had been dreaming all night. From before she was born to now, Su Jian was completely confused. It took her a long time to realize that she was 16 years old again, on the eve of the high school entrance examination.

He hugged his young mother and cried bitterly.

"What's wrong? My baby, why are you crying? Don't scare mom. I should have sent you to the hospital last night. It's all your parents' fault."

No, no, she was so happy that her parents could stand in front of her again.

"Mom, I'm okay, I'm okay, I'm really okay."

Liu Fang touched her head and compared it with his own. There was indeed no sign of fever.

"Why is my daughter crying?" Su Mingcheng, who had gotten up early to work in the fields, heard the cry and hurriedly came back and asked.

"dad……"

She swallowed harder and tried to control her emotions. Her parents were still alive, so she shouldn't cry or let them worry about her.

"I had a dream……"

It turned out to be a dream, a false alarm. Su Mingcheng fetched water and washed his hands, and said with a smile, "My daughter has been under a lot of pressure from studying recently. Ah Fang, you go to Jishang today to cut some meat and come back to replenish Xiao Jian's body."

"Yes, I understand." Liu Fang patted her daughter on the shoulder.

"Get dressed. Today is your birthday. Mom made longevity noodles for you, and there is a poached egg in it."

Su Dan, who was sleeping in another room, shouted at the top of her voice, "Sister, happy birthday, give me half of the poached eggs."

Hearing her younger brother's childish voice, Su Jian almost burst into tears again.

She was reborn, and it was great to be back when her parents were here and her younger brother was cute. It was really great.

"Xiao Jian, after dinner, I will go to school with you. Your second aunt said she wants to eat the new corn, so I will give her some."

Su Jian raised her head and said, "Mom, I'll just send you there. You're at home. Didn't you twist your waist a few days ago? Take good care of yourself."

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore."

She insisted, "I'll deliver it, but you have to worry about me not being able to carry it. Give some to the small order, and we'll go there together."

Unable to win over her daughter, and with endless work to do in the fields, Liu Fang had no choice but to compromise.

Before going to school, Su Mingcheng told her, "It's better to listen to your second aunt's opinion about filling in your application. She is a school teacher and she has a far-sighted view than your mother and I."

Looking at her father's tanned skin and the fine wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, Su Jian felt so distressed that she wanted to cry.

"Dad, I know what to do when volunteering, don't worry."

Four years later, Su Mingcheng died of liver cancer. At this time, his father was still in good health, but he could not take it lightly. He had to find an opportunity to take him to the hospital for a check-up.

Liu Fang broke off fifty ears of corn, packed them in two sacks, and placed them on the back racks of the two siblings' bicycles.

She patted Su Dan on the head and said, "When you see your second aunt, don't argue with her. She is your elder."

Su Dan wanted to defend, but was stopped by Su Jian's eyes. The two siblings rode to school. After passing a fork in the road, Su Dan discovered that her sister did not go to the school.

"Sister, what are you doing?"

Su Jian tapped one foot on the ground, turned around and said to him, "Second Aunt's house is not short of a few corns. We will sell them at the morning market."

Su Dan danced happily, "Sister, have you finally discovered that the second aunt is a two-faced person?"

In the past, Su Jian obeyed her uncle and aunt's orders, telling her to go east, but she would never go west. Su Dan was two years younger than her, but could see more clearly than she did. She was very angry that her sister was like a wooden person.

Being led by the nose.

"Xiao Dan, our family's life will be better and better in the future."
