The mountain, the man, the chicken of rebirth

"Xiao Jie." Being slapped on the back, he couldn't help but staggered forward, and the sickle in his hand almost cut his arm.

"Uncle Dong, why are you leaving this?" Xiao Jie came back to her senses, and turned to look at the smiling face.

"I'm here to pick up the goods." As he said, he pointed to the big truck parked by the side of the road, and a group of piglets in the fence were chattering.

"Is Mrs. Xiao's illness better?" Chen Dong is a delivery driver for a pig farm in the county, running between urban and rural areas all the year round.

"It's still the same." Sister-in-law Xiao was referring to Xiao Jie's mother, Wang Feng, who had a serious lung disease in her womb and was short of breath when she did a little work.Marrying a wife in the village counts on a strong man who can manage the family. Once Wang Feng's wealth disease spread, everyone was unwilling to propose marriage. Later, he had no choice but to marry the Xiao family whose family conditions were extremely poor.At the beginning of this year, the house leaked and rained overnight. Xiao’s father encountered a mining disaster while working outside. Xiao’s 14-year-old brother and bedridden mother were all burdened by the family’s life on Xiao Jie, who was only 18 years old. body.

"You take this." Chen Dong said as he took out a stack of newspaper-wrapped items from his arms, not knowing what it was.Xiao Jie opened it and saw that it turned out to be a stack of money, bundled together with tens of dollars, and there could be several hundred.

"Uncle Dong, why did you give me money again!" Xiao Jie put the money back into Chen Dong's pocket anxiously with a pale face.

"You gave me money last month, and I can't take it anymore."

Chen Dong forced the money into Xiao Jie's hand again, and waved his hand casually.The Chen family can be regarded as a small rich family in the local area. Chen Dong's daughter-in-law has money and is one of the few intellectuals in the village.The three mothers in this family are really pitiful, so they often borrow some money from their own income to help them.

"What's the matter with this little money, hurry home and buy medicine for your mother." After Chen Dongyan finished, he trotted back to his truck, and the vehicle gradually drifted away in the direction of the city.

Xiao Jie sighed, looking at the setting sun in the west.

"Bitch! Go home!" After shouting, he saw the black boy in the field not far away raised his head. It was Xiao Jie's younger brother, Xiao Ran.

The two brothers collected the farm tools and walked back to the village on the muddy path.Not far from the fenced yard, I heard the clucking of hens and the suppressed coughing under the window.

"Mother, why are you out again?" Xiao Jie pushed open the wooden door of the courtyard, and saw that Mother was working in the field again, cleaning the chicken trough.

"Anyway, it's okay to be idle." Wang Feng smiled when he saw his son came back, coughed twice, wiped his hands repeatedly with a clean rag, and took out a letter from his pocket.

"The postman sent it today. He said it was a notice from the city. Your mother and I can't read. Look, did you get in?" Xiao Jie had just finished her college entrance examination in summer, and Wang Feng knew her son's greatest wish. Just to be admitted to university, she has never read a book and doesn't understand.But she has that determination. If Xiao Jie really wants to go to college, no matter how bad her family's conditions are, she will still pay for her son.

Xiao Jie took the admission notice, with the words of Beijing XX University shining brightly on the corner of the envelope.

"Brother, I want to see it too." Xiao Ran threw down his scythe and ran over.

"What are you looking at, go wash the vegetables." Xiao Jie drove Xiao Ran to the kitchen.

Holding the notice in his hand, Xiao Jie opened the letter and read it through his mother's expectant eyes.

"Mom, I might...not have the fate to go to college." Xiao Jie smiled relievedly, stuffed the letter into her pocket, and could vaguely see the regular print on the letter, which said: You have been accepted The words of admission to Beijing XX University.

Wang Feng's expression darkened when he heard the words, and he patted Xiao Jie's face, and there was an unusual silence between mother and child.

"Son, we're not sad. If you don't pass the exam this year, isn't there still next year? You can always pass the exam." Wang Feng said.

"Mother, forget it." Xiao Jie shook her head resolutely.

"You are not in good health, and the bastard has to go to school. I am 18 years old. It is time to find a way to earn money. My father is gone, and there must be a man to support the family." Reading is not the only way out...

Lying in bed at night, tossing and turning unable to fall asleep.Erdan was sleeping right next to him, snoring like a pig.Xiao Jie took out the admission notice and read it again.Feeling that it was not safe to put it on his body, he pulled his shoes down and walked to the fire, and threw the letter directly into the brazier.Watching the piece of paper being swallowed by the flames, leaving only ashes.

Suddenly remembering how long ago someone said that he was extreme, Xiao Jie smiled ironically when he thought of this, he was extreme, if he was not extreme, how could he kill him directly and die together...Knowing that he is extreme, he came to provoke him, and again Whose fault is it?

Recalling the past, Xiao Jie began to lose his mind. When he was 18 years old, he received an admission letter and went to Beijing. On campus, he met Li Jiajun, the son of a well-known Hong Kong businessman.

When he was about to graduate from college, because he was far away from his hometown, he didn't know when his mother fell ill, and she died alone at home like that. This became Xiao Jie's greatest regret in his life.

Xiao Jie just happened to be accepted by a company in Hong Kong after graduation. It was a staggering coincidence, but it was only later that he found out that it happened to be deliberately arranged by someone.He had just lost his mother, and his heart was full of grief. Li Jiajun was the only person he knew in Hong Kong, and he expressed his love for him in a timely manner. At that time, he was very stupid. It was natural to be together.He is just a rural kid who doesn't know so much. If others treat him well, he will return it.

It wasn't until the matter was exposed in the end, and the other party's series of lightning-like countermeasures, that Xiao Jie came to her senses.But when he came to his senses, he was forced to go nowhere. The company fired him, and everyone knew that he couldn't go back to his hometown. severed the relationship with him...

So he went to Li Jiajun's small villa and killed him, and then shot himself.

In fact, he didn't know what was going on with him. After shooting himself, his body fluttered as if flying into the clouds, and then he opened his eyes, but he was still 18 years old.Could it be that everything in the past was just a dream of his own?But my experience is real, those pains and regrets are real, and the knowledge I acquired in college is also real.

Just after the Spring Festival, he remembered that the winter was extremely cold that year, and he fell seriously ill because of it. His mother stayed by his bed, coughing from time to time.Looking back at the dream, Xiao Jie was at a loss.

I am surprised by my own experience, but I still have to live as usual. I haven't picked up a hoe for many years, so it's a bit rusty to do farm work.People in the village know that their family is not easy, so they often send some things to subsidize.Later came the college entrance examination, and to be honest, Xiao Jie was no longer interested in this matter.He doesn't want to leave his mother, even for a moment, if his mother will die in four years, then at least he will be filial in front of his knees in the last days.

Of course, Xiao Jie also wanted to reverse the outcome of the matter. He wanted to make money, a lot of money to help his mother treat her illness.Erdan will go to middle school in the future, and college will also cost money.After so many things, Xiao Jie has a new idea about how to go about her future life.

In fact, Xiao Jie is really not a smart person. He is diligent and doesn't know how to be flexible. Some people say that he likes to play tricks, indeed.Xiao Jie is already tired of the intriguing life in the city, and he can't play the complicated relationship between people, let alone play well.In the past, I always felt that the countryside was not good, and like every rural child, I lived outside, only to find out that all the prosperity is fake.When Qianfan died, he realized that although the initial life was bitter, it was the most beautiful.A family is stronger than anything else.

That notice was once a turning point in his life, and now he has returned to this bifurcation, this time, he will not repeat the tragedy again.
