Xu Xining adores this new life, free from the heavy burdens of her previous identity and suffocating responsibilities.
What she feels most is the love from her family and the freedom of livin...
"Grandma~" Xu Xinning opened her eyes, reached out and took the old lady's arm, and shook it a few times in a coquettish manner.
Grandma Xu adores her granddaughter's little girl's charming demeanor; her soft and delicate appearance always puts her in a good mood.
"You still have to be careful when you go up the stairs. It's no joke if you accidentally step into a hole."
"I understand, Grandma."
"My little girl is so good!" The old lady patted Xu Xinning's hand, which was wrapped around her arm, with a look of satisfaction.
Just a moment ago, Yang Chunqin was angrily berating Xu Laosan, gesticulating wildly and speaking so loudly that the whole village could hear her. But as soon as she turned her head and saw Xu Xinning coming downstairs, she immediately smiled and spoke in an unusually gentle voice, as if she was afraid of startling Xu Xinning.
Xu Xinning was shocked and heartbroken by her mother's rapid change of expression. She knew her mother was frightened by what happened a few years ago. It was all her fault for being so surprised to remember her past life that her personality changed drastically and startled her family.
Xu Xinning cherishes the love and care her family has for her.
"Darling, you're up? Did Mom's voice wake you up?" Yang Chunqin asked, stepping forward to symbolically straighten Xu Xinning's clothes.
When Xu Laosan saw his sister come downstairs, he knew his plan to have a meal was over, so he ran over to her with a fawning smile and said, "Sis, did you sleep well last night? You look great."
Xu Laosan adores his older sister the most. She's beautiful, has a good temper, and is very protective of him. As long as his sister is around, no matter how big a mistake he makes, his parents will refrain from hitting him because they're afraid of scaring her.
Xu Xinning is Xu Laosan's biggest support and backer in this family.
However, on the other hand, Xu Laosan is genuinely good to Xu Xinning. He always thinks of this older sister first when there's something good, and he protects her like the apple of his eye.
Others may say he hits them, but when it comes to Xu Xinning, he'll fight tooth and nail.
"You little brat, you know what complexion is?" Xu Xinning couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"He knows nothing, he's good for nothing, but he's number one at causing trouble," Yang Chunqin interjected.
"Mom, you're so vulgar. Why do you always use such vulgar language? You're the brigade leader, and your every word and action reflects the image of our brigade." Xu Laosan retorted, his back stiff at the moment.
"You little brat!" Yang Chunqin gestured to Xu Laosan as if to hit him. Xu Laosan shrank back, glanced at Xu Xinning, took a few steps back, and stood up straight in front of Yang Chunqin.
With his sister around, how could his mother possibly be a shrew?
"Sis, were the wild berries from yesterday delicious? If you like them, I'll go pick some more after school today."
Seeing that she couldn't beat Xu Laosan anymore, Yang Chunqin rushed to the kitchen.
Yang Chunqin is a hardworking person. There is no such thing as wasting time in her life. She is always busy and quick, never idle, as if she doesn't know what it means to be tired.
In terms of diligence, Grandma Xu is just as hardworking as Yang Chunqin. However, Grandma Xu is not talkative and just knows how to work hard. She is good at both housework and household chores.
Speaking of which, the personalities of Grandma Xu and Yang Chunqin are quite contrasting.
Perhaps it was because Old Mrs. Xu herself was too quiet that she immediately took a liking to Yang Chunqin when choosing a wife for Xu Yaozu.
Seeing that Yang Chunqin had gone to the kitchen, Old Mrs. Xu quickly went to feed the chickens and ducks and tidy up the livestock pens.
"Go home after school. Aren't you ashamed of failing all these exams?"
"What's there to be ashamed of? There are plenty of people who did worse than me. Sis, let me tell you, there are people in our class who got zero." Xu Laosan looked smug, as if he had scored a hundred.
"Zero points?"
Xu Laosan nodded gleefully.
"That was too dangerous. It's a good thing Mom didn't cook you any eggs today, otherwise you might have gotten a zero on your test." Xu Xinning said with ill intent, then walked past Xu Laosan to wash her face and brush her teeth.
Xu Laosan was stunned for a moment. What did getting a zero on the test have to do with whether he had boiled eggs or not today?
"Sister, sister, what do you mean?" Xu Laosan chased after her and asked.
Xu Xinning grinned mischievously, ignoring Xu Laosan, and squeezed the toothpaste tube, whose original pattern was no longer visible. It took a lot of effort to squeeze out the last bit of residue.
"Dad, we're out of toothpaste," Xu Xinning called out to Xu Yaozu.
"Is that all? I seem to remember just buying it?" Yang Chunqin muttered.
"Okay, I'll bring it back after get off work today," Xu Yaozu replied.
"No more toothpaste? Sis, sis, give it to me quickly." Xu Laosan reached out excitedly to take it.
"Third Brother Xu, this is our family's common property. You're not allowed to secretly sell it and pocket it," Xu Xinning joked.
Xu Zerui, the third son of the Xu family, is a little money-grubber. He is always the most enthusiastic one when it comes to turning things into money. The stupid things he has done in order to make money are both funny and sad.
For example, the aluminum pot that had been used for many years was accidentally burned dry by Xu Yaozu, and it disappeared the next day; for example, Xu Xinning's plastic sandals were lost after only one stripe broke; for example, for a while, Xu Laosan was particularly enthusiastic about squeezing toothpaste for the whole family every day; for example, the auto repair shop in the old military compound was his favorite place to hang out, and he would ask people every day if it was abandoned...
"Sure, sure. I'll buy my sister a hair accessory with the money from the sale." Old Xu took the toothpaste tube like a mouse getting a big bag of rice, his big white teeth popping out.
When Grandma Xu came back from cleaning the livestock pens and couldn't find her toothpaste while brushing her teeth, she asked, "Where's the toothpaste at home?"
"Grandma, just you wait, I'll make sure you get to use toothpaste, no matter what."
As Xu Laosan spoke, he expertly cut open the toothpaste jar and then used the old lady's toothbrush to sweep away the last stubborn residue of toothpaste, ensuring that not a single drop was wasted.
Xu Laosan eats like he's in a battle. He gulps down two bowls of porridge in a few mouthfuls, then runs off to school, throwing his schoolbag over his shoulder as he goes.
Xu Xinning is currently the village's barefoot doctor, thanks to her regaining memories of her past life.
Xu Xinning's past life was that of a princess of the Great Dynasty, and the only princess. Her mother was a modern medical doctor who transmigrated there. It was the most common kind of melodramatic plot. She helped her father achieve his career and successfully ascended the throne.
The Emperor and Empress Dowager's love was stronger than gold, unwavering until death, a lifelong devotion to each other.
The Emperor and Empress had two sons and a daughter. The eldest son was the Crown Prince, and the younger son and Xu Xinning were twins. Xu Xinning was fascinated by medicine from a young age, so her mother passed on all her knowledge to her. The younger twin brother was rather peculiar. He was obsessed with Buddhism from a young age and was chosen by a high-ranking monk at birth. After he turned three, he lived in a temple and has been immersed in his Buddhist paradise ever since.
