Chapter 5 Return Home



When the village chief heard this, he did not answer in a hurry, but looked at Hu Chunsheng.

The latter understood and looked at the nosy villagers to explain, "Jian Ya accidentally fell down while playing with Da Zhu and the others a few days ago, scaring the children. Jian Ya woke up and brought her here to apologize to the village chief."

"Is that it?"

"I haven't finished yet, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Don't drop it."

"Yes, hurry up."

"The village chief felt sorry for Jianya for having to go through such a disaster at such a young age, so he decided to adopt her as his goddaughter, and that's why he gave Jianya eggs to nourish her body."

"I was wondering why you, Hu Chunsheng, looked so anxious. It turns out that good things have happened to you." An old man of the same generation as Hu Chunsheng joked.

"From now on, all the medical expenses for the bitch until she recovers will be paid at the village chief's house!" Cao Zhaodi boasted.

"Oh my god, this is incredible!"

"How come this little bitch turned into a lump of gold after being struck by lightning?"

"What do you know? This is called surviving a great disaster will bring good fortune in the future."

"The Hu family is so lucky. They are the godparents of the village chief's family. Why don't we have such a blessing?"

"You let your kid fake his death once, and now this opportunity has come."

"Get lost, you evil bastard. Why don't you let your child go?"

The village chief, who had been holding back, saw that the atmosphere was about right, "Okay, let's go, we'll be planting rice in two days, everyone should get ready."

When the villagers heard this, they dispersed in groups of three or four, including the parents of the other three children.

The drama between him and the Hu family made them aware of the attitudes of the two families involved, and they will continue to keep their mouths shut from now on.

After watching such a boring play, Hu Lin was so sleepy that he almost fell asleep.

The Hu family split into two groups halfway through the journey. The eldest member of the family went home to cook, while the rest of the family went to pick up the coffin and other funeral items and return them.

After returning home, Hu Lin looked around.

Mud ground, adobe house, an extremely ordinary and backward rural yard.

After Hu Xiaoyi carried Hu Lin back to the room and put him on the kang, he and Li Aihua went to the kitchen to busy themselves.

In the original body's memory, behind the living room is the main house where the old couple lives; the backyard is a private plot for growing vegetables; opposite the living room is a house with four bedrooms, and next to it is the gate.

Next to it is the big house, with the toilet next to it; opposite is the second house, with the kitchen next to it, and next to it is the fence shed for raising chickens and ducks.

And this old couple actually has five children. The third child is a factory worker in the city, and the fifth child seems to have married a county magistrate?

There are five children of her generation living at home. Except for Hu Zhu from the second wife who did not go to school, the other four children in the family are all studying.

According to her understanding, children's education is a big expense in this era.

The Hu family has to support four children in their education, and she will also go to school next year. It is no wonder that Cao Zhaodi asked for a huge amount of money at the village chief's house.

From the limited memory fragments of the original body, there are only so many key pieces of information that can be extracted, and most of it is the oppression from the biased old lady, the second wife, and the biological mother.

After Hu Lin absorbed all the memories in his original body's brain, he slowly got off the kang.

This body could be knocked down with one punch when she was seven years old.

She needs to make up for it, and make up for it a lot, so that she can get her skills back.

Hu Lin went to the kitchen and saw the couple cooking. There was no intimacy between them like that between husband and wife; instead, they seemed like familiar strangers.

"Mom, I want to eat egg custard."

Li Aihua, who was picking wild vegetables, saw her daughter standing at the kitchen door and said, "Wait until your grandma comes back."

"Why?" When that stingy old lady comes back, she won't be able to eat any of the eggs.

"Why should children ask so many questions? Go back to the house." Li Aihua looked a little impatient.

She didn't want to get close to the old lady, because that would just ask for scolding!

Good, the original person is indeed his mother’s punching bag.

Look at how her attitude is different when she speaks. No other member of the Hu family would have this expression in front of her.

Hu Lin gave up Li Aihua and turned to look at his father who was making a fire. "Dad, didn't the village chief say that eggs are good for my health? Why do I have to ask grandma before I can eat eggs?"

"You have to ask your grandmother before deciding on food at home." Hu Xiaoyi said the rules set by the old lady.

"But I feel so dizzy now, I'm not going to faint again, am I?" Hu Lin leaned on the door frame and acted, "After I faint, I won't be locked in the coffin again, right?

Dad, I don’t want to faint. I don’t want to be locked up again. It’s so dark in there. I’m scared.”

"But your grandma said——"

Before Hu Xiaoyi could finish, Hu Lin interrupted, "Dad, if grandma knew, she would definitely agree. This is specially given to me by the village chief to replenish my body.

Didn’t the village chief say that he would recognize me as his godparents after I recovered? You saw today that so many people wanted to be his godparents. What if the village chief refuses to recognize me because he sees that I haven’t recovered yet? "

I knew my original parents were unreliable, but I didn't expect them to be so unreliable.

She still has to rely on acting to eat an egg. Once she gets better, she will definitely change this situation.

"That's right. Not everyone wants to marry into the village chief's family. Li Aihua, steam the egg custard for the little girl later."

"My mother-in-law." Li Aihua was still a little hesitant.

"Mother will agree."

When Li Aihua heard Hu Xiaoyi say this, she did not dare to refute. She took an egg and beat it in a porcelain bowl and stirred it with chopsticks.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Hu Lin leisurely returned to the house.

There was nothing much in the big house. By the door was an old-fashioned washstand with an enamel basin on it and a spittoon underneath. There was a small table on the kang with an oil lamp on it.

The wall next to the earthen kang was covered with waste newspapers with illegible writing on them. There was a wardrobe in the corner and the windows were still papered. It was not an exaggeration to say that the house was bare.

After looking around and not finding a mirror, Hu Lin had to go to the large water tanks in the yard outside the house to see what she looked like now.

The sun was shining brightly now, and through the "water mirror" she finally knew what she looked like now.

Who shaved her hair!!!

She had been wandering around the village with this bald head all morning.

It's okay to have dark and yellow skin, and it's not a big deal to be skinny. Most children nowadays look like this.

She can change these later, but how could anyone forget such a prominent thing as her bald head?

Even when she grows up, baldness will always be associated with her in their minds, and they might even laugh at her for it.

How can we live without image?

At this moment, she really wanted to die.

"Why is my hair gone?" Hu Lin appeared at the kitchen door again and looked at the two of them with grievance.

She was really wronged this time.

Even if you want to bandage the wound on her head, you can just shave the hair around the wound. Why do you shave all the hair for her? Do you think she is not ugly enough now?
