Rebirth 70: I am a Koi

"I do." My voice was not loud but firm and powerful.

A happy smile bloomed on Bai Hanchuan's face. He solemnly put the ring on my finger and then gently kissed my forehead.

Life after marriage is peaceful and sweet. Bai Hanchuan loves and supports me as always. With his help, my planting base has developed more rapidly. It has not only become a leading enterprise in the local area, but also its products are sold at home and abroad.

"Jinli, you are so amazing!" Lin Xiao looked at the report about me and my planting base in the newspaper, his eyes full of admiration, "You are simply my idol!"

I smiled and shook my head: "You have contributed a lot to this. If you hadn't encouraged and supported me, I wouldn't be here today."

Lin Xiao smiled sheepishly: "I just did something insignificant."

I held her hand and said seriously: “No, your encouragement and support are very important to me.”

Looking at Lin Xiao, I suddenly remembered that she once told me that her biggest dream was to open a flower shop of her own.

"By the way, Xiaoxiao, didn't you say before that you wanted to open a flower shop? How is it going now?" I asked.

Lin Xiao's eyes dimmed: "It's still the same, insufficient funds, and..."

"And what?"

Lin Xiao hesitated to speak, and finally shook his head: "Nothing, let's not talk about this. How are you doing recently? I heard that Brother Bai..."

"Jinli, where are you?" Bai Hanchuan's voice suddenly came from outside the door, interrupting Lin Xiao's words.

“I’m here,” I responded.

Bai Hanchuan walked in and saw Lin Xiao was there too. He smiled and nodded, "Xiaoxiao is here too."

"Well, let me see Jinli." Lin Xiao said.

"Then I'll go back first, you guys chat." Lin Xiao said as he stood up and prepared to leave.

"I'll give it to you." I said.

"No need, I can go back by myself." Lin Xiao said, then turned and left.

I looked at Lin Xiao's departing back, and suddenly an impulse surged in my heart...

I called Lin Xiao: "Xiaoxiao, wait a minute!"

Lin Xiao turned around in confusion: "What's wrong?"

I took a deep breath and said seriously, "You open the flower shop and I'll pay for it!"

Lin Xiao was stunned, and it took him a long time to react: "Jinli, you..."

"I know what you're worried about," I interrupted her. "Don't worry, I'm not giving you charity. I just want to help you realize your dream. Just think of it as a loan from me. It won't be too late to pay me back when you make money in the future."

Lin Xiao's eyes were red. She held my hand tightly and said in a choked voice, "Jinli, thank you, thank you so much!"

"We are friends, so why bother saying thank you?" I said with a smile, "When are you going to open the store? Do you need my help?"

"I want it as soon as possible," Lin Xiao's eyes were full of anticipation, "I've already picked a store, it's in the city center, there's a lot of traffic..."

With our joint efforts, Lin Xiao's flower shop opened soon. On the opening day, Bai Hanchuan, I and many friends came to congratulate, and I felt extremely relieved to see the happy smile on Lin Xiao's face.

I run my planting base, Lin Xiao runs her flower shop, and we both live the life we ​​want. My father, however, has not come to see me since he saw me in the hospital. I know he must be very regretful, but he doesn't know how to speak because of his face.

One day, Bai Hanchuan suddenly told me that his father was ill and lived alone in the old house with no one to take care of him. I hesitated for a moment, but decided to go visit him.

When I walked into the old house, my father was lying on the bed, pale and weak. When he saw me, a trace of guilt and relief flashed in his eyes.

"Jinli, you're here..." His voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing something.

I walked over to the bed and whispered, "Dad, how do you feel?"

He shook his head, wanting to say something, but couldn't. I held his dry hand, he could feel my warmth, and tears gradually appeared in his eyes...

"Jinli," he finally spoke, "Dad is sorry for you. It was Dad who was wrong before..."

My nose felt sore and tears welled up in my eyes: "Dad..."

"Jinli," Bai Hanchuan came over and patted my shoulder gently, "The doctor said Dad needs to rest. Let's let him rest first."

I nodded, wiped my tears, and helped my father lie down. Before leaving, I held his hand again. His hand moved slightly, as if he wanted to grab me, but I finally pulled my hand back gently.

I left the old house with mixed feelings. I knew that my father had really realized his mistake, but once the damage was done, it was hard to make up for it.

"He will be fine." Bai Hanchuan put his arm around my shoulders and comforted me softly.

I nodded and rested my head on his shoulder, feeling his warm embrace.

"By the way," Bai Hanchuan suddenly said, "I have something else to tell you..."

He paused, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face: "You...shouldn't you go to the hospital for a checkup?" Bai Hanchuan's words made my heart skip a beat, and my face immediately flushed. "What nonsense are you talking about!" I glared at him coquettishly, but my heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably.

He laughed softly and held me in his arms, "Silly, we have been married for so long, it's time to have a child."

His words were like a stone that stirred up thousands of waves in my heart. Yes, we have been married for more than a year, and friends around us often joke that it is time to have a child.

After that day, I went to the hospital and the test results came out quickly, I was pregnant.

When I told Bai Hanchuan the news, he excitedly picked me up and spun me around several times. "I'm going to be a father! I'm going to be a father!" He cheered like a child, his eyes and eyebrows filled with happiness.

My eyes were moist, and my heart was filled with emotion and anticipation. I felt extremely happy and satisfied as a new life was about to arrive.

Under my careful care, my pregnancy was smooth and happy. Bai Hanchuan took great care of me and spoiled me almost to the sky.

Ten months later, our daughter was born. This cute little girl brought endless joy to our little family.

Looking at my daughter sleeping in my arms, my thoughts drifted back to the time before my rebirth. I was blinded by hatred and ended up with my family broken up. But now, I have a husband who loves me, a lovely daughter, and a thriving career. It all seems like a dream.

I know very well that all this has not come easily. If it were not for my rebirth, if it were not for my persistence and hard work, if it were not for Bai Hanchuan, Lin Xiao, and all the people who have helped me, I would not have the happy life I have today.

I bent down and kissed my daughter's forehead, and secretly swore in my heart: I will spend the rest of my life loving them, helping more people in need, and passing on this love and hope.

My life has just begun, and there are infinite possibilities in the future. I believe that as long as I have hope and keep my feet on the ground, I will be able to create a better future!
