Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Overturning the blind date table

Shu Niannian was resting with her eyes closed in the closed sun room, but was awakened by a gust of wind.

Where does the wind come from in a closed sunroom?

When she opened her eyes again, what Shu Niannian saw was the familiar wheat field.

Shu Niannian's lips curled up, she was afraid that she was dreaming again.

Over the years, Shu Niannian often had dreams, but the scenes in the dreams were blurry and bizarre. This was the first time that the scenes were as clear and lifelike as they are now.

Shu Niannian was greedily looking at the green wheat seedlings in front of her, when suddenly she heard a harsh urging voice in her ear: "My niece, have you rested? We still have to walk another two miles to catch up with the tractor to the county town. If you keep dawdling, what will happen if Li Chuangye, who my Meilan is dating, runs away? I can tell you that Li Chuangye's family is well-off. Not only does he have a two-story Western-style house, his parents still eat commercial grain, and he is the only son in his family. It is no exaggeration to say that if my Meilan marries him, she will be waiting to be her mistress."

Following the source of the sound, Shu Niannian saw a familiar face. Her second aunt Yang Guihua was looking at her anxiously.

Shu Niannian's head suddenly began to throb with pain, as if someone had chiseled it, and the pain made her break out in a cold sweat.

She raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and her hand felt real and delicate.

Shu Niannian was in a trance for a moment. She put her sweat-wiping hand in front of her eyes. Her fingers were slender and even, and there were no purple needle marks left by the infusion on the white back of her hand. Her wrist was not skinny and bony. The round and fleshy feeling made Shu Niannian's heart beat wildly.

It's too real.

Shu Niannian quietly bit off the tip of her tongue, it hurts!

She frowned, and a shocking idea popped into her mind.

Maybe she was reborn? !

She returned to the age of eighteen, back to the time that changed her life.

Shu Niannian looked at the straw stacks on both sides of the road, and at the fellow villagers in the distance who were carrying hoes and returning home and greeting her with a smile. Under the multiple stimulations of vision, hearing, and touch, the idea of ​​rebirth was once again strengthened.

She hid her shock and asked tentatively, "Second Aunt, it's almost noon. If you can't go today, then go tomorrow."

After saying this, she lowered her head and pounded her legs in a coquettish manner.

Yang Guihua looked impatient, thinking that this damn girl was always troublesome, but since she had already tricked Shu Niannian out of the village, she would not allow Shu Niannian to back down.

Yang Guihua suppressed her annoyance, and tried to force a smile, saying: "What nonsense are you talking about, girl? Blind dates are to seize the initiative. To tell you the truth, Li Chuangye is in a hurry to get married, and he has arranged five blind dates today. If Meilan doesn't go today, she will miss out on such a good man!"

Shu Niannian's fingers dug into her palms, and despite the stinging pain, she felt more joy. On the way to accompany Shu Meilan on a blind date, she had a similar conversation with her second aunt Yang Guihua.

Exactly the same, not a single word different.

Shu Niannian had a fiancé named Lu Jianjun, who was arranged for her by her grandfather and an old friend. Lu Jianjun's family was rich, and in the 1980s when people were short of food and clothing, not only could his family eat meat for every meal, they also had plenty of coupons such as food stamps, cloth stamps, and sugar stamps. They could even ride in a car when they were going on a holiday trip.

Shu Niannian's cousin Shu Meilan was jealous and had hooked up with Lu Jianjun two years ago.

Shu Niannian is eighteen years old this year. According to the marriage agreement between the two families, Shu Niannian will marry Lu Jianjun at the end of this year.

This made Shu Meilan very anxious. In order to marry Lu Jianjun legitimately, she conspired with her mother Yang Guihua to harm Shu Niannian.

Today, whenever she accompanies Shu Meilan on a blind date, she will be touched on the hand by the man named Li Chuangye during the blind date, and Yang Guihua will spread the news in the village, causing her to be pointed at by the villagers and she dares not even look up when she goes out.

In the countryside, it is a particularly shameful thing for a young girl without a family to be talked about like this.

Not to mention, Shu Niannian was engaged at the time.

With Yang Guihua's hard work in promoting her, Shu Niannian became the laughing stock of the surrounding villages for a while.

Her parents wanted to protect her, but the situation became increasingly difficult to control. Everyone said that she was not decent, and some people even threw rotten eggs and vegetable leaves at her when she went out.

In the end, Shu Niannian had no choice but to marry Li Chuangye in disgrace.

Just after Shu Niannian married Li Chuangye, Lu Jianjun made a fuss and demanded that the Shu family compensate him with a bride. In order to calm things down, his grandfather decided to marry Shu Meilan to Lu Jianjun.

In order to compensate Shu Meilan, Grandpa sold his fields and land and gave Shu Meilan a very generous dowry as compensation.

From then on, Shu Meilan and Lu Jianjun lived a happy life. They had two children in three years. Later, with the help and guidance of his uncle, Lu Jianjun opened a company to engage in deep processing of electronic components. He invested the first pot of gold he earned in real estate. From then on, his life went smoothly. Shu Meilan naturally became the little wife of the domineering boss and was spoiled all his life.

Since Shu Niannian married Li Chuangye, she has been treated like a maid by Li Chuangye's family. No matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, she has to get up at five o'clock every day to make breakfast and wash clothes for the whole family.

Due to the freezing weather, she developed arthritis at a young age. Her fingers even became swollen and deformed, and her body also suffered from serious illnesses.

Li Chuangye never treated her well and was always out all day. After five years of marriage, they hadn't even slept together.

Li Chuangye's mother couldn't have a grandson, so she took out all her resentment on Shu Niannian. After Li Chuangye lost all his family fortune in gambling, she called her a vixen, a jinx, and a hen that couldn't lay eggs.

In just five years, Shu Niannian went from being a pretty girl as cute as a peach to being emaciated and with gray hair.

Finally, with the help of the Women's Federation, she was able to end this nightmarish marriage.

She originally thought that by returning to her parents, life would slowly return to the way it was before.

But after returning to her mother's home, she found out that her eldest brother had been imprisoned for theft and later committed suicide in prison. Soon after, her parents also died of illness two years later.

Just two months ago, her second brother was coming back from weeding in the fields when he was hit by a tractor and fell into the river, never to come out again!

After learning all the news, Shu Niannian's eyes went dark and she vomited blood. Since then, she has been bedridden.

If she hadn't been rescued by an old friend, she would have died long ago!

During these years of lingering life, Shu Niannian has not been idle. She has long found out the truth of what happened back then, so now she has returned to this time point that changed her life. No matter how Yang Guihua tries to fool her, Shu Niannian will never accompany Shu Meilan to a blind date again.

"Then you guys go by yourselves. I just remembered that my mother will make me my favorite scrambled eggs for lunch today. I have to go home to eat scrambled eggs. Besides, it's not appropriate for me, a girl with an engagement, to go to such an occasion. If someone spreads some unpleasant gossip about me, it will be a big trouble."

Shu Niannian's voice was clear and firm.

Yang Guihua's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she quickly laughed and said, "How could anyone gossip about me? I just went to help your sister to see if you are a suitable brother-in-law."

"Scrambled eggs, right? Today you're going to the county town with me to help, and I'll treat you to scrambled eggs. Scrambled duck eggs are also fine." She said with a smile, but in her heart she rolled her eyes in disdain, thinking that you're such a grown-up, and you only know how to eat!

Shu Niannian shook her head decisively: "No, Second Aunt, I still like my mother's fried eggs the most. My mother is willing to use oil, and they taste delicious!"

Her pair of almond-shaped eyes were sparkling, as if they were tempered with light, and had a faint sharpness. Yang Guihua was so scared when she met such a pair of sharp eyes that her heart skipped a beat. But upon closer inspection, Shu Niannian was still the same Shu Niannian.

She was wearing a floral cotton coat, and her waist-length black hair was braided into a pigtail that fell freely in front of her chest.

She is at the age of a flower, with skin as white as cream, a slender figure, charming eyes and eyebrows, and when she smiles, the dimples on her lips seem to be able to suck people in.

Still the same as always, so beautiful that it's annoying.

Shu Niannian started walking, and Yang Guihua quickly reached out to grab her. Shu Niannian took a few quick steps, and Yang Guihua followed suit. However, Yang Guihua had short legs, so Shu Niannian won the race without a doubt.

After running to a safe place, Shu Niannian turned around and deliberately said to Shu Meilan who had been silent the whole time, "Cousin, I hope your blind date will be successful this time. After all, you have been on eight blind dates. People in the village say that you are too picky. It's not okay to always use Jianjun's standards to find a partner. You know, not everyone is as lucky as me."

After saying this, Shu Niannian left with a smile.

Shu Meilan's lips turned blue from anger.

It is impossible to marry Lu Jianjun, but it is possible to use Lu Jianjun to stimulate Shu Meilan.

While Shu Niannian was calming down her surging emotions, she walked home along the familiar road in her memory.

From a distance, Shu Niannian saw smoke slowly rising from the chimney of her home, and thought to herself, how great, she is back!

In this life, she will never be easily harmed by anyone again.

Shu Niannian calmed herself down and walked towards her yard, following the scattered sunlight that filtered through the treetops. From afar, she saw her two brothers building a chicken coop and her father watering the newly sprouted green vegetables in the yard.

The wealthy families in the village have already built blue brick walls around their courtyards, and their family also has the money to build one, but his eldest brother is already old enough to get married, and his parents want to save money to build a new house for his brother, so their courtyard still has only a half-person-high adobe wall that can be seen at a glance.

Very poor privacy.

Shu Niannian stood outside the courtyard wall, feeling somewhat timid. She pinched the corner of her floral cotton jacket, looking at the familiar scenes and people in her dream. For a moment, she didn't know who to call first.

Just as she was at a loss, her mother Li Guifen's voice rang out beside her: "I haven't seen you for a long time. Have you gone to your grandfather's backyard to fiddle with herbs again?"

Shu Niannian looked at Li Guifen's gray hair and familiar smile, her mouth pursed and she started crying.
