I Really Didn’t Want to be Born Again

Shen Youchu wrote a letter very early to tell her mother-in-law and Aning the flight date for their return, so at around 8 o'clock in the evening, Chen Hansheng and Shen Youchu had just appeared on the mountain trail, and a small figure ran over cheering.

Sister, brother.

This was of course little Aning. She ran and shouted, making a squeaking sound on the snow, leaving rows of cute little footprints behind her.

Slow down, don't fall.

The heavy snow must have just fallen. Shen Youchu was worried that Aning would slip, so he stepped forward to catch his sister steadily.

Aning, grow up.

Shen Youchu picked up Aning and found that although her sister was still thin, she was a little taller.

She was happy in her heart, but she was not good at expressing it, but she still wanted to share it with Chen Hansheng.

Really? Let me give you a hug.

Chen Hansheng took An Ning from Shen Youchu's arms. He was worried that Shen Youchu would be tired from holding An Ning after a long day of traveling.

Brother!

Aning shouted again, the child's voice was crisp and clear, and it could be heard far and wide in this empty mountain wilderness with few people, no street lights, and only the moon.

hold head high.

When Chen Hansheng hugged Aning, his hands suddenly loosened, and Aning's little body instantly slid down.

ah!

Aning exclaimed, but as soon as it slipped a little, Chen Hansheng immediately picked her up. Only then did little Aning realize that her brother was playing a prank.

She couldn't help but laugh again, and hugged Chen Hansheng's neck tightly with her little arms, for fear that her brother would leave her behind again.

The mother-in-law stood at the end of the path, waiting for Shen Youchu quietly, seemingly almost the same as she did more than two years ago.

Time seems to pass very slowly in the mountains.

Mother-in-law.

Shen Youchu held her mother-in-law's arm.

The mother-in-law looked at Shen Youchu with turbid eyes,

The old people seem to have a set of experiences in judging whether their children are happy or not. Shen Youchu is undoubtedly happy now. Her mother-in-law has some relief in her eyes and holds Shen Youchu's hand tightly.

Returning to the familiar small courtyard, Chen Hansheng took a few glances under the cool moonlight and found that the place had obviously been tidied up.

The farm tools were all stored in the corner, and there were only a few firewood piles left. The place was empty and there was no mess like normal living.

Judging from this, my mother-in-law and Aning should be ready to leave, and maybe there are luggage bags in the main room.

Several people sat around the mud stove in the small kitchen. The flickering firelight was like magic, making the figures exaggeratedly reflected on the wall.

Shen Youchu was preparing noodles for Chen Hansheng to eat. He was preparing the ingredients on the chopping board. Her mother-in-law was sitting on a stool, squinting her eyes as if she was asleep.

Aning was filling up the firewood and asked Shen Youchu some weird questions from time to time. She lived in Jianye for two months during the summer vacation and still remembered the bustling road.

Chen Hansheng sat there for a while and felt that something was missing. Only later did he realize: Where are the dogs and big cats?

At Uncle Uncle's house.

Aning raised his head, with a dim light flashing on his face: My mother-in-law said that after we leave, the dog will be placed in the uncle's house first.

oh.

Chen Hansheng nodded regretfully, and he was going to bully the little native dog.

Brother, do you want to see him? I can call him back.

Little Aning stuffed a piece of wood into the stove and immediately ran to the yard and shouted in one direction: Egg, egg...

The countryside in the mountains is very quiet, and little Aning's voice can almost cover the village.

Chen Hansheng couldn't believe it at first, until the sound of running came closer and closer, and the familiar little native dog soon appeared in front of him.

It also recognized Chen Hansheng and wandered around Chen Hansheng's feet like a happy man.

Brother, look.

Little Aning squatted down, patted the dog's forehead with his little hand, and smiled very happily.

Chen Hansheng is also laughing. This is probably the legendary saying that communication basically relies on roaring, and public security basically relies on dogs.

However, when the dog was called back, the man was also called back.

While Chen Hansheng was ravaging the little native dog, the eldest uncle and his daughter and son-in-law pushed in the door.

This time last year, the eldest uncle's daughter had just gotten married. Chen Hansheng was still drunk while holding back wine for the groom at the wedding. Wang Zibo also complained angrily that the bride was very beautiful but the groom did not match her.

College brother.

The groom called him this non-trivial title again, and it was very distinctive.

The bride was shy and embarrassed to say hello to Chen Hansheng, but seeing Shen Youchu busy, she naturally wiped her sleeves and went to help.

The women in this place seem to have retained some characteristics of traditional women.

Chen Hansheng took out the Chinese and threw it to the eldest uncle and the groom. When the eldest uncle saw the cigarettes again, he was reluctant to enjoy them. He clamped them to his ears and kept them. He took out the tobacco leaves and white paper and rolled them up to smoke.

The uncle came here to chat with his mother-in-law. People in the village should know that her mother-in-law and Aning are going to the big city, so relatives want to see each other more often, because the opportunities in the future may be decreasing.

It's not hard to guess what the groom is thinking. He has been asking about the outside world. Especially when Chen Hansheng said that he often got stuck in traffic for several kilometers, the groom's younger brother had a look of shock on his face.

He had only seen a small car occasionally when he went down the mountain to buy medicine. It had four wheels running on the ground and passed by with a hula. It was really a rare object.

But in a big city, how many kilometers can this thing be blocked?

University brother...

Just when the groom, who was under 20 years old, was about to speak, the always honest little native dog suddenly stood up, bared his teeth and barked woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof.

Is there anyone?

The uncle was close to the door and immediately walked out of the kitchen to check.

Chen Hansheng thought that in such a poor place, except for acquaintances, there were no thieves.

He liked to watch the excitement and followed closely.

Standing at the entrance of Chaiyuan was a female figure. She was quite tall, but she looked very thin, as if she could be blown away by a strong wind.

She was yelled at by her uncle, and her hands kept waving as if she was trying to defend something.

As more and more people came out, the woman's voice became smaller and smaller. She just lowered her head and twirled her fingers uneasily.

Aning's mother.

Shen Youchu explained to Chen Hansheng in a low voice.

Oh~

Chen Hansheng suddenly realized.

Aning's father went out to work in the 1990s and has not come back yet, and there has been no news.

Let's think on the bright side, maybe he made a lot of money and forgot about his relatives, but this possibility is almost 0. In fact, it is more likely that there was an accident.

It’s okay not to talk about that era.

My mother stayed with her for several years and finally remarried, and of course she is not far away.

Chen Hansheng glanced at little Aning and found that her little face was covered with tears, but she didn't dare to make a sound, sniffing and sniffing.

Aning never wanted to leave the mountain, but she couldn't bear to leave her remarried mother.

Shen Youchu felt sorry for his sister and held Aning in his arms to comfort her. His bride, Shen Ruyi, also helped wipe away her tears.

Chen Hansheng was quite curious. He took a few steps closer and asked the uncle, What is she doing here?

The little girl yelled just now. She thought Aning was leaving the mountains now, so she wanted to say goodbye quietly. The uncle explained.

Then just come in and take a look.

Chen Hansheng said with a smile: What are you doing in hiding? It will be a bit difficult to meet again in the future. Let's have a good conversation with Aning tonight.

etc.

The loyal and honest uncle actually stopped him: Since she has remarried, Aning has nothing to do with her anymore.

What?

Chen Hansheng was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at his mother-in-law.

The old woman just stood at the door of the kitchen with a cane. She didn't say a word, but her attitude was obvious.

This is a traditional and somewhat harsh old man.

Chen Hansheng sighed and figured out many things in an instant.

Why did Shen Youchu always wait for Chen Hansheng to eat before he dared to take off his chopsticks when eating?

Why does Shen Youchu always choose Chen Hansheng's favorite when buying fruits? She just picks up a few at random;

Why does Shen Youchu buy clothes? She is very willing to give up to Chen Hansheng and even Liang Meijuan, but when buying clothes for herself, she will always look at the price first;

······

Shen Youchu only lived by the name Chen Hansheng throughout his life. The big reason was the indoctrination and guidance of his mother-in-law.

However, it cannot be said that mother-in-law does not love Shen Youchu.

No matter how late Shen Youchu comes home, her mother-in-law is always waiting with a candle;

Shen Youchu was so beautiful that her mother-in-law strictly warned her not to raise her head outside the mountains;

The money Shen Youchu sent home, in addition to Aning's schooling and expenses, her mother-in-law gathered little by little, and will leave it to Shen Youchu.

There are some concepts that the mother-in-law probably cannot change, so after Aning's mother remarried, she was already a real outsider in her mother-in-law's heart.

That's it.

Chen Hansheng nodded slightly, turned on his mobile phone light and rudely shined a light on Aning's mother.

The light was quite strong, and she quickly covered it with her arms.

Chen Hansheng took a look and found that in addition to being thin, she was probably very poor. The cotton-padded jacket was thin and probably not stuffed with too much cotton. Her chin was almost hidden in the skirt of her clothes, which showed that she had a deep and deep sense of inferiority.

Especially, standing in front of my mother-in-law.

We are all going to bed, what are you doing here?

Chen Hansheng shook his mobile phone light and said with a frown.

People like him will not try to change anything at all, such as clamoring, Mothers always have the right to look after their children, and you should not deprive them of it, or Mother-in-law, you have to change this concept. Women should have their own legal rights.

This is the approach of Douban’s literary young man, Chen Hansheng. He will only stand on the side with more people.

Let's go, let's go back quickly.

Chen Hansheng shouted loudly, but said intentionally or unintentionally: We have a flight at around 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. We have to get up at 6 o'clock in the morning. We will leave on time at 7 o'clock, otherwise we will not be able to catch up.

You come to disturb our rest now. If we don't leave on time at seven o'clock, I will definitely make your husband pay for it!

Ahem, seven o'clock!
