After lying in bed at home for seven days, Sang Tianen received a call from Manager Sun, who implied that he was asking her if she could come to work because the company was very busy and short of staff.

Sang Tianen originally thought that a broken bone was no big deal, but after running out to eat that day, she felt unwell. Her buttocks were in excruciating pain, and she was so scared that she lay in bed quietly for the next few days.

The old saying is right. It takes at least a hundred days to heal a broken bone. A few days of rest is not enough.

When Sang Tianen received the call, she felt furious. She hadn't even applied for work injury, but the company had the nerve to urge her to go to work. How shameless!

So she went to the hospital to get a sick leave note and applied for another two weeks of rest.

She had been lying in bed obediently for the past two weeks. Sang Muyang came over from time to time to cook for her, and Shi Zhou and his wife also came to see her every now and then. She lived a carefree and comfortable life.

Gradually, she got used to this casual life, to the point that when she returned to the company, she didn't even know how to type on the keyboard.

Shi Zhou looked at her slightly plump face and laughed, "Are you living a comfortable life?"

"You can live this kind of life even if you fall down." Sang Tianen rolled his eyes at her and adjusted his sitting position.

The two were having lunch in the company cafeteria. Today was Sang Tianen's first day at work after his injury.

"Why are you so irritable? Is your endocrine system out of balance?" Shi Zhou put a piece of braised pork ribs on Sang Tianen's plate, "To nourish you."

"Why don't you give me the piece with meat? This one is all bones." Sang Tianen poked it with chopsticks and curled his lips in disgust.

"Some of them are delicious, and you picked them?" Shi Zhou picked up the soup bowl and took a sip of the seaweed soup.

Sang Tianen opened his mouth and was about to say a few words of rebuttal, but his eyes were suddenly attracted by a figure in front of him, and his whole body seemed to be frozen.

Shi Zhou raised his hand and waved it in front of her eyes: "Did you get acupuncture?"

Sang Tianen opened her hand, stared straight ahead, and asked in a low voice: "Who is that? Why have I never seen him before?"

Shi Zhou turned around to look and said casually, "He's the intern who just came to the Finance Department. His name seems to be Zhao Wulan."

"He's so handsome!" Sang Tianen's eyes penetrated the crowd, depicting the man's delicate face with a strange expression, "Superb!"

Shi Zhou laughed out loud: "Are you sick again?"

Sang Tianen was still staring at Zhao Wulan in front of him, until the other party found a place to sit down and eat, then he reluctantly withdrew his gaze.

"What a pity." Sang Tianen sighed with infinite regret. If they were not colleagues, she would have immediately become a member of the Appearance Association.

Shi Zhou glanced around and found that no one was paying attention to them. He leaned over and whispered, "I heard that he doesn't have a girlfriend yet. You still have a chance." After saying that, he blinked his right eye and a sly smile appeared on his face.

"Can't you think about something else?" Sang Tianen picked up a handful of bean sprouts with chopsticks and stuffed them into his mouth. After chewing for a few times, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and laughed sinisterly. "It seems that you know this Zhao Wulan quite well. Does your Xiao Xu know about him?"

Shi Zhou's eyes became flustered, and he touched his nose guiltily: "Don't sow discord between us, I tell you."

Sang Tianen looked at her, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Your eyes flicker, you touch your nose, and you even threaten me. Shi Zhou, you have evil intentions..."

Shi Zhou was anxious: "Don't talk nonsense, who has evil intentions?"

"It would be great." Sang Tianen snorted, "Just for your Xiao Xu's excellent cooking skills, I have to keep a close eye on you for him. If you dare to hesitate, I will execute you on the spot."

After saying this, he wiped his neck with an expressionless face.

Shi Zhou looked at her speechlessly: "I really don't understand, are you Xu Mingming's sister or my sister?"

"After eating the pickled fish made by Xiao Xu, I betrayed her without hesitation." Sang Tianen picked up the soup bowl and bared his white teeth at Shi Zhou. "Now I am Xiao Xu's sister."

The two chatted for a while before returning to the office for a nap.

I don’t know if it’s because the bone injury has not healed, or because it’s difficult to adapt to working life for a while, but Sang Tianen didn’t sleep well. He even had a sad and long dream in a half-asleep state.

In her dream, she returned to that land again. It was drizzling under the sky. She and her father were walking in the rain, carrying bamboo baskets on their backs. The only sounds around them were the sound of their footsteps.

The grass and trees turned a dark green after being washed by the rain. She followed her father laboriously, constantly wiping her eyes that were wet from the rain.

The muddy path beneath her feet seemed endless, just like her hopeless life.

Maybe she was too tired, her legs suddenly went weak and she let out a scream. Her father in front of her was quick to grab the collar of her clothes and prevented her from falling into the mud.

"I've told you so many times to pay attention when walking." Her father's deep voice rang in her ears. She nodded in panic, tears of fear and grievance filling her eyes.

Her father didn't say anything else. He looked at her deeply with his dark eyes, then turned around and continued on his way.

The father and daughter finally got home before dark. All the mushrooms for the day were sold and the whole family was very happy.

After changing his clothes, the father picked up his younger brother and lifted him high up, with a faint smile on his majestic face.

The younger brother laughed happily, and the mother also smiled with relief. She held her younger sister and stood in the dark corner like two outsiders.

Late at night, she was so hungry that she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. Her sister beside her was smacking her lips, with her skinny little hands resting on her shriveled belly.

She secretly got up, walked to the chicken coop and took out an egg covered with chicken droppings. She tiptoed back to the room, woke up her sleeping sister, knocked a hole in the egg and poured the egg into her mouth.

The raw eggs were very fishy, ​​but my sister swallowed them in big mouthfuls. The moonlight shone on her face, as if it was covered with a layer of white frost.

A week later, my sister died.

After hearing her father say he was going to give her away, she ran to the river alone and accidentally drowned.

The thin body floated on the river, like a fallen leaf, so small and light.

Her father found a piece of cloth to wrap her body, picked up the shovel and walked out of the house in silence. Her mother sat by the bed, sobbing softly, her eyes red and swollen.

She leaned against the door frame, looking at the dark stone steps wet by the rain, and the image of her sister calling her "sister" kept appearing in her mind.

Tears gradually blurred her eyes, and an unspeakable pain spread from her heart.

Her sister, who was only six years old, died.
