Rebirth of Boyu

Quiet, the whole room was silent, Bai Yu closed his eyes, and felt the buzzing in his ears, Bai Yu wanted to raise his hand, but his limbs did not obey his command, so he could only move his fingers.

The room is filled with the smell of chicken soup. This smell is like the soup that grandma makes every time. Every time she comes back from school vacation, grandma always stews an old hen. "It's been a long time since I smelled this smell." Bai Yu didn't want to open his eyes up.

wrong!I still remember the panic when I was stabbed by the machine and the calls from the people around me!Dead, hooked up sleeve by machine on 30th birthday.Bai Yu opened his eyes abruptly, his head was groggy and brought a feeling of vomiting.

"What's going on, am I dead?" Do you remember being rescued after losing blood and being in a coma?No opponent is still there." Bai Yu moved his fingers, there were no calluses worn out by the machine, the dazzling light hit the wall through the window, and an ink painting that hadn't existed for a long time was hung on the wall intact, This is the room where he grew up from sleeping to growing up.He pinched his thigh hard, the pain made his eyes sour, it hurts!

"Xiao Yu'er has eaten." Grandma's voice came from my ear.

'grandmother! Bai Yu lifted the quilt, pushed open the door, grandma's voice, how many years have not heard, "Grandma!", Bai Yu did not dare to enter the door, watching grandma serving soup in the kitchen, the fragrant soup and memory exactly the same.

"Sleep well, I'm exhausting my grandson." Grandma Liu came over and touched Bai Yu's hand, "Drink a bowl of soup first"

"I'll do it myself." Bai Yuyou went into the kitchen and held grandma's cool hand, and squeezed it again, "I'll cook in the future, you don't always need hot water to wash the vegetables"

Grandma Liu smiled and said, "Understood, Mr. Xiao Yu'er, take care of the old woman."

Bai Yu's eyes were moist, everything was real, not a dream.The hand I was holding was warm and numb, and I didn't want to let go at all. "I'm alive, and my grandma is here." Bai Yu took the soup, took a deep breath, there were a few chopped green onions floating on the golden soup, and took a big mouthful. He drank heavily, his mouth was a little hot, but he suppressed the cold all over his body and warmed his stomach.

As if in a dream, I went back to my freshman year.

Bai Yu took out a chair from the room and stared at the holly tree in the yard. The tree was rustling by the wind, but the stone bench under the tree was clean without a single leaf. The bamboo grove is also rippling slightly, and there is smoke coming out from behind the bamboo grove. Most people in the village live on the opposite side of the river. Baiyu’s family is a single family with its back against the Daqing Mountain and facing the cascading mountain road. This is what Grandpa Baiyu chose. The Dijian house is also the place where Bai Yu grew up.There is no difference in my mind.

"How many years?" Looking at the mountains in the distance, since he went to study abroad, Bai Yu rarely came back. When he was alone, Bai Yu never came back.The mountains in the distance are the places where grandparents and parents in the previous life were buried.

Walking into the main room (a room similar to the living room of rural people), grandma is picking soybeans, and Bai Yu sits down and picks out the beans without insects one by one. The dried beans are soaked overnight and then mixed with grandma’s dried salted pig’s trotters and ginger Stew it with shallots in a crock pot for an afternoon, and you can eat salty and fragrant stewed pig's trotters at night. The simplest dish can be stewed with an extraordinary taste.

"Grandma, let me make dinner, just go to the garden to pull some green vegetables." Bai Yu put down the beans in his hand and rubbed his fingertips, "I have enough beans, let's pick the rest later." Looking at the full bowl of beans, Enough for a meal for two.

"Don't pick, don't pick, your eyes will get blurred after you pick it up for a while when you get old. You need to pull the green vegetables from the ridge to the west. The vegetables there are just edible, and the basket is on the cupboard." Grandma Liu put away the beans.Pack unpicked soybeans into a crock pot.

"Understood, I'm going to soak in water." Bai Yu picked up the bowl and "just went to get the basket." He picked up the bowl with one hand and took the chair that was moved out to the main room and walked to the kitchen. Put the soybeans in the basin filled with water and cover them.

The ridges and ridges in the garden are full of greenery, and the feather vegetables can be picked in about 20 days. Baiyu mainly comes to pick the feather vegetables.The two ridges of Chinese cabbage are green and green, but the leaves have been bitten by insects and some cabbage leaves have been rotten by chickens. The spinach is also growing tall and feels a bit old.I pulled out a lettuce and picked all the shoots from the Chinese toon tree by the roadside.The shepherd's purse in the idle field is also growing well. Looking at the full vegetable basket, I still let the shepherd's purse go.

The washed chicken feathers don’t need to be cut, just put them into the oil pan and stir-fry quickly. Bai Yu added some soaked shiitake mushroom slices to the chicken feathers, sprinkled some fine salt, stir-fried a few times and put them on the pan.Take the scalded Chinese toon seedlings out of the cold water, squeeze out the water and chop them up. Add oil to the pot, add dried peppers, pour all the chopped Chinese toon seedlings in, stir fry, add salt, take out a few eggs from the drawer and beat them In the bowl, stir quickly, pour the egg liquid when the toon juice is almost dry, fry it into a cake and divide it into portions with a spatula. There is no range hood in the old-fashioned kitchen, only an old refrigerator in the corner, the aroma and The mist spreads from the chimney and windows to the entire yard, rice is boiled in the pot, and the leftover chicken soup at noon is steamed on the rice.

"Grandma, it's time to eat." Bai Yu took off his apron, wiped his hands, and picked up a rag that grandma used from Bai Yu's vest to wipe the table.Eating with grandma has never used the big table in the living room, it has always been eaten at the small table in the kitchen, serving two dishes and one soup to have a big dinner with grandma.

Bai Yu washed the bowls, "Grandma, I want to take you to S Province." Bai Yu looked at Grandma Liu who was drinking tea.Seeing that Grandma Liu didn't speak, she put down the bowl on her phone, "Grandma, S Province is too far away, every time I come back, I have to wait for the holidays, and I can eat grandma's meals every day when we are together, and I will still be there when I graduate from university. Looking for a job makes it even more inconvenient to come back, and I don’t feel at ease leaving you alone at home, the neighbors are far away, and uncles and aunts are busy.” Bai Yu said everything he was thinking.

Seeing grandma smiling, Bai Yu felt relieved, this way it will be different from the previous life, he can accompany grandma and take care of grandma.Grandma will not be allowed to die without treatment due to a fall like in her previous life.

There are no shops in the small mountain village, and even a small shop is in Xiawan Village three miles away. Baiyu also studied in Xiawan Village, and his junior high school has changed to another place. Usually, when he gets sick, he only takes a bath with moxa, or drinks himself. Chinese medicine, not to mention other things, the hospital and everything are in the town of more than three hours' walk.What's more, he is a single family. In his last life, Bai Yu would never let his grandma live alone in his hometown no matter what.

Seeing Bai Yu's stubborn look, Grandma Liu put down her glass, "You haven't left my side since you were a child, and I thought about going with you too. I'm relieved to see you doing well after half a semester." Grandma Liu sighed." The money lost by your parents will drag you to college, and the old woman can’t waste money like that.”

Bai Yu was in a hurry, "Grandma! I can earn money, and we can't just live on that money! Besides, I have already made plans. The rest of the money will buy a house for us to live in. I have plans for tuition and living expenses."

Grandma Liu looked at Bai Yu's face similar to his father's, and thought of his son, who was like this back then. He walked out of the mountains, brought back a beautiful daughter-in-law and gave birth to Bai Yu with his father's handsome face.Also, something happened on the way back.

"Go, go, go" Grandma Liu promised, if her son hadn't come back to see her, she wouldn't have been hit by a tired driver on the mountain road, and her daughter-in-law wouldn't have left Baiyu early because her son fainted and got a heart attack.Going out with her grandson and watching him get married was the last thing she, an old woman, could do.

In April, it dawned early.The incense candles and paper were already prepared. After breakfast, Bai Yu and Grandma Liu folded the ingots. The paper was bought early, and the golden paper was folded into boat-like ingots, stacked together in a bunch.It is folded in the morning and burned in the afternoon every year.The fingertips were blackened by the paper and rubbed like a layer of dirt.

During the Qingming Festival, there are many rains.At noon, the mountains began to drizzle. "Grandma, don't go. I'm afraid it's going to rain heavily. I'll go alone." Bai Yu looked at the rain outside the window, and was blown to the eaves by the wind.

"I'm just waiting for this day to talk to the old man. If the old man is going to wait, I'm afraid I'll give your father the first meal." Grandma Liu carefully covered the basket with a layer of plastic sheeting, turned around and went to the room to pick up a bag. "Hurry up and change your shoes, the grass on the road will grow taller, and you will get sick if you get your shoes wet," the tip of the umbrella knocked on his grandson's leg, urging him.

Bai Yu obediently returned to his room to change his shoes, consciously put on a coat, and picked up a basket and umbrella. "Okay, let's go"

Cover the door and hold an umbrella.Baiyu walked in front and walked down the stone ladder step by step. Spiky weeds grew out of the gaps in the stone stairs, and the holly trees covered the sun with long, thin leaves sweeping the toes of Baiyu's shoes. , stepped on it, the leaves stuck to the stone ladder and stood up quickly.After crossing the river, walk up the mountain road built by the villagers, and you will arrive in a short while.

Looking at the raised hill in front of him, because the cement is covered with soil, there is no weed growing.Bai Yu laid out the fruit and knelt down. When the wind picked up, the smoke and ashes fluttered all around.Grandma Liu didn't know what she was talking about, she was sad and happy.

"Grandma, go home." The rain was falling heavily, and Bai Yu watched the paper gradually turn into ashes, extinguishing the last spark, called out to Grandma Liu, and picked up the basket.The mist shrouded the mountain, and it was time to make plans for the future.

When I got home, I turned off the stewed pig’s trotters, picked up the leaves of the lettuce that hadn’t been cooked yesterday, washed the leaves, put them in boiling water, scalded them slightly, picked them up, and put them in cold water Pass for a while to remove the bitterness.Squeeze out the water and chop it up. Heat the pan slightly hot, put a little oil in it, put the chopped leaves in and stir fry for a while, then add chili, mustard and minced garlic.Quickly fry and serve.Cut the remaining lettuce into shreds, put salt, soy sauce, minced chili, minced garlic, vinegar and sesame oil in hot water for a while, stir and wait for the taste.Minced shallots and sprinkled in the trotter soup.I took three eggs from a drawer full, beat them into a porcelain basin, a little soy sauce, salt, a small piece of lard, after stirring, add boiling water while stirring clockwise, put it in a steamer and sprinkle with chopped green onion After the water is boiled and the egg liquid is solidified, you can take it out and use a spoon to make a cross.Bai Yu didn't know why he made the sign of the cross, but it had become a habit.

In the middle of the night, Bai Yu took out the passbook from the bedside. It was given to him by his grandmother on the day he went to college. The brand new one had a musty smell, and only the records of the savings from that year. Grandma didn't even take out a penny from it.Thinking about the relatives who wanted to borrow money over the years, Bai Yu frowned tightly. In his previous life, he took out the money because of the funeral. The kind uncles and aunts in the past were like a group of dogs smelling meat, especially my good aunt-Wu -Joan!A dog that bites does not bark.

In Bai Yu's memory, Aunt Wu Qiong has always been a quiet woman, with the same short hair around her ears. From time to time, she would send her some home-grown vegetables to her grandmother. Grandma just handed over the funeral to her. Who knew that everything was for a purpose. Just a short while after he left, his home was burned by candles, but his good aunt was seriously injured and sent to the hospital because of firefighting. Not only did he pay all the money in the card, but in the end, my aunt saw that he had no medicine left, hehe, "My good aunt!" I haven't seen her since the fire got the money, I don't know how much other actors can get.

Thinking of the aunt he met in the town two years later, with the fashionable curly hair permed, and there was no visible injury, knowing that it was a conspiracy but unable to do anything, he never wanted to experience this feeling again.Bai Yu clenched his teeth, and he will pay back everything he owes me!

I closed my eyes and stopped thinking, since I can live again, I must not repeat the same mistakes.Put the passbook back on the bedside table, looked at the dark sky outside the window, thought about something, and fell asleep.
