Reborn with a Cell Phone 2007

Sui Xixi, who was taken care of by Sister Cuilan and had three meals a day delivered to her, gained two circles of weight. The day she was discharged from the hospital happened to be the Little New Year in the north.

Ji Shumiao's family meant that Sui Xixi lived alone and had no one to take care of her after she was discharged from the hospital, so she should move in to Ji's house. It would be a good opportunity for them to celebrate the New Year together, so she could stay there until after the New Year.

After hearing this, Sui Xixi clasped her hands together and pleaded, "Boss, I really can't! I know you mean well, but recuperating at your house and spending the New Year there is only suitable for idol dramas about domineering CEOs and Cinderellas. It will shorten my life! There is no place like home, and the best way to recuperate is to relax! Really, I have recovered and can take care of myself!"

What else could Ji Shumiao say? He could only agree with a smile: "But you still have to come to my house for dinner tonight. Sister Cuilan has been preparing for today's reunion dinner a week ago."

Ji Shumiao's family is from the south, but they live in Beijing. They simply celebrate both the Little New Year in the north and the Little New Year in the south every year. One is a big reunion with friends and relatives, and the other is a small reunion behind closed doors.

Dazhu and his two brothers and Tang Qingqing had come every year, and this year was no exception. The exception was Zhou Hui, who did not go to his uncle's house and accepted Ji Shulang's invitation. As for Ji Shumiao's other friends, they all had to reunite with their families.

There were also a few special guests—Wolf Brother’s family members.

When they heard that Brother Wolf was injured, they had some free time, so they decided to travel to Beijing and visit him. After being discovered by the enthusiastic Ji family, they invited them to stay at their home. After spending a few years together, Ji Shumiao's family had already regarded Yin Lang and Yin Xiao as family members.

Including the driver and aunt from the family, there were three large tables of people.

Tongtong was so happy that she didn't know what to do. She rushed to the kitchen as soon as she woke up in the morning. The aunt in the kitchen fed her freshly made braised food and various cold dishes. There were snacks and candies everywhere in the house. She ate so much that she kept burping early in the morning.

Grandma and grandpa couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so they took Tongtong for a walk outside.

Ji Shumiao took Sui Xixi home and sat with everyone in the living room, chatting and joking. There were constant laughter, applause and cheers, and the scene was lively and festive.

Ji Shumiao felt tired while laughing and ran to the yard to swing on the swing.

Out of everyone's sight, Ji Shumiao could no longer laugh. She sat on the swing in a daze, her mind in a mess, with everything and yet nothing.

She thought about Uncle Pang and what his family was doing at the moment. They must not have a happy reunion. She thought about the other uncle who died. He was silent and pulled her away from the glass window in the fire, and she didn't even know his name. And the uncle who was seriously injured would have to spend the New Year in the hospital this year...

Qin Rong and Ji Zhenhua stood in the distance, looking at their daughter's back in the cold wind and feeling distressed. They could see that she was forcing a smile, but no one exposed it.

Ji Zhenhua sighed: "I can't help at all..."

"Okay, it's New Year's Day, stop sighing, our daughter is not as fragile as you think."

No one knows a girl better than her mother. Qin Rong knew that she would be able to get through this hurdle.

During dinner, we clink glasses, bid farewell to the old and usher in the new, and spend the holiday together.

Ji Shumiao finally had a genuine smile on his face. He leaned on Qin Rong's shoulder and listened to his godfather Tang Zhilong talk about the embarrassing things he had done a few days ago.

Grandma picked up a piece of food for Tongtong and told her what they had just encountered outside.

Grandma and grandpa looked at the time and prepared to take Tongtong back at dinner time. When they were almost back, they met another old woman with a little girl out to play.

The little girl was about the same age as Tongtong, and soon they started playing together.

Grandma and grandpa chatted with the old woman. When the old woman heard that they came out to prevent Tongtong from eating too much at home, she immediately became excited as if she had found a kindred spirit: "That is to say, little girl, you can't eat too much. If your stomach expands, it will be difficult for you to lose weight when you grow up. Just give her some milk and fruit at night."

Grandma was still angry when she talked about this: "That little girl is half a year older than Tongtong, half a head shorter, and so thin and frail, but the old man is so proud of it. Who needs a child to eat now? He is just a bad guy."

Grandpa echoed: "Stupid and evil, committing evil!"

Tongtong, who was sitting between the two of them, buried her head in tears while eating, without even raising her head: [Eat quickly when there is food to eat, because in the end of the world, there will be no grass roots to eat. ]

Ji Shumiao picked up a large piece of braised beef ribs for her. Tongtong raised her greasy face and smiled, "Thank you, sister!"

[Sister is so nice! ]

Ji Shumiao smiled, with barely perceptible tears in his eyes.

Halfway through the meal, the Ji family welcomed an unexpected guest - Lu Binghe, who had not been seen for a long time.

"Xiao Lu, have you eaten? Let's sit down and eat together. It's okay to have an extra pair of chopsticks." Grandpa greeted warmly.

Lu Binghe: "Thank you, uncle, but I'm here to pick up Miaomiao."

Ji Shumiao stood up and looked inquiringly.

"Let's go." Lu Binghe said to her, "Everyone is waiting for you."

Before leaving, Lu Binghe whispered something to his grandfather. His grandfather nodded and looked at Ji Shumiao with complicated eyes.

Yinlang and Yinxiao stood up and tried to follow, but Lu Binghe raised his hand to stop them.

As soon as they got in the car, Ji Shumiao couldn't wait to ask, "What did you say to grandpa?"

"Tell them you'll be home later this time and tell them not to worry."

The car they were riding in passed through one checkpoint and security check after another and drove deep into the military area.

Ji Shumiao realized that they were on their way to the research institute. He was so shocked that he couldn't speak. It took him a long time to find his voice: "I, I, I... Can I still go out?"

"We'll send you back after the meeting, but this meeting is going to be a bit long." Lu Binghe smiled bitterly. He was the one who couldn't leave after today. "We found a person who had experienced the end of the world and was reborn."

Ji Shumiao didn't dare to look any longer, for fear that he would see some secrets and be detained and unable to return home.

They were escorted by armed soldiers and led by staff from the institute all the way. After walking for a while, they finally arrived at a meeting room downstairs.

There were not many people in the conference room, but most of them were acquaintances, including Uncle Hu, Zhang Wentao, Tan Qiu, a handsome young man in his early twenties, and an old man with white hair who looked like a scholar.

Ji Shumiao guessed that one of them was Shao Sifan mentioned by Tan Qiu, and the other was the director of the research institute.

Tan Qiu's overall condition was very bad. He looked pale and had become extremely thin in just two days. He was half lying in a chair with a thick wool blanket in his arms, with an IV needle stuck in the back of his hand, receiving nutrient solution.

Deputy Director Zhang Wentao coaxed him softly and fed him piece of chocolate after piece.

"What's wrong with Sister Tan Qiu?" Ji Shumiao asked softly.

Tan Qiu lowered her eyes and had no strength to answer her. She was so weak that it seemed as if Ji Shumiao could crush her just by standing in front of her and blowing on her.

Zhang Wentao explained: "Overusing the brain."

After two full days of calculations, Tan Qiu came to the conclusion that no matter what happened in the future, the end of the world in Ji Shumiao's dream would definitely happen within ten years.
