Nineteen seventy-two.
Gaoming City.
"Dad, let me go." Lin Shu said.
Lin Jianguo was silent for a moment: "Let your sister go."
"No, I'm not going." Lin Hui stood up suddenly, causing the stool to squeak. "Why should I go?"
"You are the elder sister, and you should go since you are the oldest." Lin Jianguo said in a deep voice.
"No, we were both born on the same day," Lin Hui stared at Lin Shu resentfully, "You can't be so partial."
"Sister, I—"
"I'm not your sister." Lin Hui said angrily, "Anyway, I won't go."
"Okay, it's decided. There's no changing it." Lin Jianguo slammed the table.
Lin Hui's face was full of displeasure. She pulled Li Hongying who was sitting next to her and said, "Mom, look at Dad."
Li Hongying looked at Lin Hui, her face full of anxiety: "Jianguo, you——"
Lin Jianguo didn't say anything, picked up the newspaper on the table, got up and went upstairs.
"Hey, Jianguo..." Li Hongying hurriedly followed.
"That's great, second sister, you don't have to go to the countryside, right?" Lin You, the younger brother sitting next to Lin Shu, pulled her sleeve and said, "Let the eldest sister go."
"You little brat, do you deserve a beating?" Before Lin Shu could speak, Lin Hui said viciously.
Lin You made a face at Lin Hui: "I'm not afraid of you."
Lin Shu patted Lin You on the head and said, "Sister, I will ask Dad to let me go—"
"You don't have to pretend to be kind. I won't let you succeed." Lin Hui said, turned around and went upstairs.
Lin Shu pinched Lin You's face and sighed helplessly.
In the evening, Lin Shu wanted to talk to Lin Jianguo. Just as he walked to the door of the room and raised his hand to knock on the door, he heard the sound of Lin Jianguo and Li Hongying arguing in the room.
"Jianguo, Huihui is still young, you can't let her go to the countryside."
"How can she still be considered young?" Lin Jianguo said in a serious voice, disagreeing, "She is already eighteen years old. Besides, Shu'er is older too."
"Huihui is our biological daughter." Li Hongying lowered her voice, "Jianguo, I know you've always treated Shuer as your own daughter, and I've never treated her unfairly..."
Lin Shu pursed his lips, put down his raised hand, and turned back to the room.
Lin Shu lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling for a moment, then sighed slowly.
She hadn't thought about her past life for a long time.
That's right, here, she had the memory of her past life from the moment she was born.
In her previous life, she was born into a medical family. Not long after she was born, her biological parents died unexpectedly.
I encountered the end of the world described in the novel before I even graduated from college.
Fortunately, she got a space with medical heritage.
But unfortunately, not long after the apocalypse began, she died in an accident.
Lin Shu put the back of his hand over his eyes and sighed again.
Perhaps, Meng Po forgot to give her Meng Po soup.
Let her be reborn into this world with the memories of her past life.
This world is a bit like the China in the 1970s and 1980s in my past life memories. It has roughly the same development trajectory, but also has many different details.
But she seemed to have no natural connection with her parents.
"Oh." Lin Shu sat up and hugged his knees.
That’s right, she is not the biological daughter of Lin Jianguo and Li Hongying.
Her biological mother died after giving birth to her, and no one knows who her biological father is.
As for why Lin Jianguo and his family chose to adopt her, she had no idea. She only knew that when she opened her eyes, she became the twin daughter of Lin Jianguo and Li Hongying.
Lin Jianguo and his wife adopted her and raised her as their own daughter. She couldn't make things difficult for them by going to the countryside.
"I have to find a way to make Dad change his mind..." Lin Shu muttered.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Shu lay down again and gradually fell asleep.
In the past two days, Lin Jianguo went out early and came back late, and Lin Shu had not found a chance to talk to him.
Li Hongying and Lin Hui were not at home all day, and they always looked unhappy when they met.
Even his young and ignorant brother Lin You didn't dare to make trouble anymore.
The atmosphere at home is depressing.
Lin Shu was secretly anxious.
That day, Lin Shu went to school to get his high school diploma.
There was no college entrance examination these days. After graduation, students either went to the countryside or found a job through family connections.
However, since there is only one job for each person, most young people have become unemployed.
"Lin Shu." Someone called her name from behind.
Lin Shu turned around.
It’s Zhou Shijie!
He lived not far from their home and often came to play there when he was a child.
Zhou Shijie trotted up to Lin Shu.
He looked at Lin Shu, his face slightly flushed, and he seemed a little shy.
He took a deep breath and straightened his already smooth collar: "Lin Shu, let's go back together."
Lin Shu stared at Zhou Shijie, and seeing his red ears, he understood something and sighed secretly.
"What, what's wrong?" Zhou Shijie touched his face uncomfortably, as if Lin Shu had been staring at him for a while.
Lin Shu shook his head and found that someone was watching them not far away, so he said to Zhou Shijie, "Let's go."
Lin Shu turned around and walked forward two steps, then looked back at the big tree not far away.
The leaves on the trees swayed gently in the wind.
She tucked the hair that was blown into her face behind her ears and looked away in confusion.
Liu Fang, who was hiding behind a big tree, was first filled with disbelief. Then she pinched her arm hard. Feeling the pain, she flashed a look of ecstasy on her face: "I'm back, I'm back!"
Liu Fang walked out of the tree and stared at the backs of a man and a woman in the distance. With a look of satisfaction on her face, she murmured to herself, "Zhou Shijie, I won't bother you anymore. Lin Shu, everything you have is mine. Only me... only me..."
