Chapter 3 Rebirth

"Hiss." Xia Wanyang was awakened by the pain. As soon as she opened her eyes, she felt like her head was about to explode.

When the pain eased a little, I suddenly opened my eyes and realized, "Pain?" I am just a soul, how can I feel pain?

She slowly closed her eyes and gently rubbed her eyelids with her hands, trying to relieve the stinging sensation.

When she opened her eyes again, the scene in front of her made her feel both familiar and strange. This was her own room, which was painted white and covered with light green paint as a wall, which looked fresh and elegant. The sunlight poured in through the bright windows, reflecting every detail in the room.

Her eyes followed the light and finally fell on a string of handmade wind chimes hanging above the window. The wind chimes were made up of small colorful beads and delicate bells. They swayed gently in the breeze, making clear and pleasant sounds. This small object had accompanied her through countless peaceful times, but now it had become a window to her memories of the past.

"Yangyang, how are you? Are you going to scare your mother to death?"

Xia Wanyang's hand was held by her mother, and she greedily felt her mother's body temperature. What was going on?

She must miss her parents too much, so let her take another look?

"Why is there no reaction yet? Did you hurt your head?"

Was this her hallucination? Xia Wanyang was distracted.

The bedroom door was pushed open, and the eldest sister-in-law walked to the bed, put down a bowl of porridge and said, "Yangyang is awake, eat something quickly."

Xia's mother, Gu Ning, put her hand on her daughter's pretty face, looking nervous. She touched her daughter's forehead and suddenly screamed, "Big brother, call your dad quickly. Big brother's wife, go get a towel. Second brother, get the military doctor. Second brother's wife, go make ginger soup! Hurry up!"

Gu Ning shouted and the whole family got busy. Soon the house was crowded with people.

Xia Wanyang was confused and had no idea what had happened that made her meet so many people!

Her mother Gu Ning, her eldest brother Xia Shuqian, her eldest sister-in-law Jiang Sisi, her second brother Xia Shuhan, and her second sister-in-law is her childhood friend Liu Yue.

Xia Wanyang's tears rolled down like a dam bursting. Looking at her relatives in front of her, she felt as if she was in another world.

"Yangyang, how do you feel? Can you say something?"

Listening to her mother's gentle voice and feeling her warmth, she slowly came to her senses and glanced at the calendar on the wall. It was April 1974.

She returned to the year when she was eighteen years old, and had less than ten days left before she would go to the countryside.

"Mom, brother and sister-in-law, second brother and sister-in-law, I'm fine, I'm much better now!" Xia Wanyang said with a choked voice.

The whole family breathed a sigh of relief when they heard her voice. The second sister-in-law yelled, "Yangyang, how come you fall down when you walk?"

Xia Wanyang tried hard to recall that on this day in her previous life, she attended the wedding of her high school classmate Wang Huan. Because Wang Huan's husband looked at her a few more times at the wedding, Wang Huan's sister Wang Jing bumped into her hard. She lost her balance and fell backwards, hitting the back of her head on the ground. In her previous life, she went home and complained to her eldest and second brothers. The two brothers went to settle the score with them, but were almost blackmailed by Wang Huan's mother-in-law.

Xia Wanyang wiped her tears and said, "I'll be more careful next time. I got up early today and I'm a little confused!"

This time she was not going to ask her brothers to help her, because she knew that Wang Jing was the only one going to the countryside with her. It would not be too late to take revenge once they reached their destination!

Mother Xia sighed heavily, "My daughter, how can you take care of yourself when you are so confused? We are going to the countryside soon, how can we rest assured when you are like this!"

The eldest brother also sighed, "If Dad hadn't been watched, how could it be my little sister's turn to go to the countryside? How could such a weak girl endure the hardships of the countryside!"

Xia Wanyang smiled widely and said coquettishly, "Today was an accident. I can take care of myself. If it doesn't work, mom can give me some more money. I can pay someone to cook for me! Don't worry, I'm so likable that I won't suffer any loss wherever I go!"

The second brother nodded her head gently, his eyes full of concern, "It's because you're so popular that we're worried, okay? Those bastards in our compound have ulterior motives every day under our noses. How can we be worried when you go so far away all of a sudden?"

Xia Wanyang yawned, "The bastards in the compound won't go to the countryside with me again!"

The whole family laughed out loud at her appearance...

"Okay, Yangyang is sleepy, let's go out, drink the porridge and sweat a little, then you will be refreshed after a good sleep!" Mother Xia said as she drove people out.

After everyone left, Xia Wanyang lay on the bed thinking about Zhang Shiye, tears streaming down her face. She saw with her own eyes that stupid man avenge her, and then watched him commit suicide in front of her grave. She didn't know if he was still alive in this life, and whether she could meet him again...

A tear slid down her neck. She raised her hand to wipe it and happened to touch a jade pendant. She sat up suddenly. Wasn't this the heirloom of Zhang Shiye's family when she was buried? She saw him hanging it around his neck as if it were a treasure. How did this thing appear here? Could it have come back with her?

Xia Wanyang took off the jade pendant and held it in front of her chest with care. If the jade pendant came back with her, then did Zhang Shiye, the owner, also come back with it? In her previous life, she went to the Dongfanghong Brigade in Shuiyu Village, Xin County, Shen City, Liao Province, and Zhang Shiye was the eldest son of the village chief.

As she was thinking, she fell asleep in a daze. The scene of Zhang Shiye committing suicide appeared in her dream again, "Don't..."

Xia Wanyang was awakened, and just in time she saw her second sister-in-law Liu Yue coming in to call her for dinner, "Yangyang, Dad is back, come out for dinner!"

"I got it." She wiped the cold sweat from her head, changed into comfortable clothes and left the room. When she looked up, she saw the father who had always been planning for her in her previous life.

"Dad." Xia Wanyang's eyes turned red as she spoke, Fang Zhaodi's proud voice rang in her ears: "You don't know yet, your father didn't die of illness, he was killed by the poison that Li Wenzhuo had fed him for ten years..."

If I meet this pair of dogs again in this life, I will make them suffer from both death and life's misfortune!

"Hey, how is my old girl? I heard from your mother that you fell and hit your head today?"

"I'm fine, Dad. I feel much better after a good sleep!" Xia Wanyang tried hard to hold back her tears. She didn't want to make her family worry about her on the first day she returned.

Halfway through the meal, Dad Xia Qingshan put down his chopsticks and looked at his little daughter with reluctance in his eyes, "Yangyang, Dad is sorry for you. If it weren't for Dad's rivals keeping a close eye on you, your mother and I would never have let you go to the countryside!"

Xia Wanyang kept smiling as she picked up an egg for her father with chopsticks and said, "Dad, I want to go to the countryside to train. I can't stay under the wings of you, mom, and brother all my life!"

Xia's mother Gu Ning stroked her hair and said, "My beautiful little girl, you must take good care of yourself when you go to the countryside and don't let yourself get sick. Your father and I will work hard to pave the way for you and try to transfer you back to the city as soon as possible!"

"Mom, I forgot where I was going to the countryside?" Xia Wanyang asked casually.

The second sister-in-law screamed and scared everyone, "Yangyang, you are not really hurt, are you? I accompanied you to sign up a few days ago? The Liao Province Shenshi Dongfanghong Brigade!"

Xia Wanyang's eyes widened and she was dazed for a long time, then she began to giggle, "Hehehehe, good job Dongfanghong Brigade, hahahaha..."

Everyone looked at each other, and the eldest brother said cautiously: "How about asking your sister-in-law to take a day off tomorrow to accompany you to take a look?"

Xia Wanyang retracted her smile, waved her hands and said, "I'm fine, I just like to hear this name, the East is Red and the Sun is Rising. By the way, Mom, can you bring me some more money and tickets?"

Mother Xia nodded, "Of course, your eldest brother, second brother and your two sisters-in-law have kept all the tickets for you these days. When the time comes, I will bring you more money and pack it in different bags. You are so careless that you must make multiple preparations!"

After finishing a lively meal, Xia Wanyang returned to the room, jumped onto the bed and rolled several times, kicking the quilt with her slender white legs, "That's great, hehehe..."

At this time, Xia's mother came in and saw Xia Wanyang smiling foolishly. She frowned slightly and said, "Yangyang, you..."

"Oh my God, Mom, how did you get in?" Xia Wanyang was shocked and immediately stood up and stood on the ground.
