The festive atmosphere was becoming increasingly intense. Chen Xia could often hear the sound of firecrackers in the distance while lying in bed.
As the eldest sister, Chen Chun has been preparing food for the New Year. After preparing the food, she has to prepare new clothes for her younger brothers and sisters.
Now she has reached the point where she spends money without even looking at the price tags, and even begins to dislike Ke Zhen's clothes being too tacky and his snacks being too few.
So Chen Xia took advantage of a weekend before the New Year and went to the provincial capital for shopping with the four sisters and three non-staff family members.
Chen Xia is not very interested in shopping. Wouldn’t it be the end of him to follow four college students around for a whole day?
So he hurriedly bought two cameras and met Qian Jin and Fang Zhe at Liu Park by the West Lake.
As expected, when Qian Jin and Fang Zhe saw the camera in their hands, their expressions were as exaggerated as if they had won 5 million in the future.
"Chen Xia, is this camera really for us?"
"Nonsense, didn't I promise you that? Take it and play with it yourself. Here's the invoice. If it breaks, you can ask them to fix it yourself."
So Qian Jin and Fang Zhe howled, and immediately hung the necklaces around their necks, walking with their heads held high, like the most handsome guys by the West Lake.
Unfortunately, the two of them didn't know how to play with these antiques yet, so Chen Xia provided them with 5 rolls of film for them to play with.
This time, Chen Xia came here not only to thank the two for their help, but also to purchase a batch of tickets from them, especially industrial tickets.
Now these two people have become ticket brokers in the residential building, and the tickets that are not needed by the children of the Lingang Factory are all in Chen Xia's hands.
Chen Xia has already decided to buy a refrigerator and a washing machine in 1981. If possible, he will also buy a motorcycle so that he can look very cool when driving around.
I'll put a few bottles of soda on my motorcycle and park it in front of the medical school. I wonder if it will work... cough cough cough...
After playing with Qian Jin and Fang Zhe for a day, Chen Xia always felt that something was missing in his heart and his whole body was uncomfortable.
If you think about it carefully, everything is peaceful at work, the family is lively, and there is money and meat in the house. What else could he not have thought of?
So Chen Xia thought about it while walking, while riding on the train, while getting home, and even while sitting on the toilet, wondering if he had missed something important.
Until Chen Dong was doing his winter break homework in the study and reciting an ancient poem, "As a stranger in a foreign land, I miss my family even more during every festive occasion..."
Chen Xia's head exploded all of a sudden. He remembered that he had been reborn for half a year and had not yet visited his parents.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about Comrade Chen Bingkun and Comrade Yang Lijuan. It's better not to see these two comrades. Let them rest in peace.
But they were his biological parents in his previous life.
When Chen Xia thought of this, he could no longer hold back his excitement. He was so excited that he spent the whole night, and then he started to worry about whether the two old comrades, Old Chen and Old Yin, would still exist. Would they not be blown away by his own reborn little wings?
The next day, Chen Xia ran to the hospital.
It was the end of the year and there was nothing left to do in the General Affairs Department. After talking to the "veteran" Luo Jiacheng for a few words, he ran directly to the national highway at the door and stopped a long-distance bus to Jiangzhou.
Jiangzhou is located in Zhijiang Province. It is actually not very far from Yuezhou. It only takes more than three hours to get there by car.
Relying on his childhood memories, Chen Xia slowly found his way to Jiangzhou People's Hospital. This was the old site of the hospital, which had been demolished long ago and is now a newly built four-story building.
The staff dormitory of Jiangzhou People's Hospital is just across the street. Chen Xia lived here for more than 10 years when he was a child.
Looking at the street scenes and neighborhoods that he was familiar with as a child, Chen Xia's heart was beating wildly. Just as he was about to enter the gate of the community, he was stopped by the guard.
"What do you do?"
"Uncle Shan, don't you recognize me?"
The old man looked unhappy: "Who do you know? What do you do?"
Chen Xia was stunned for a moment, and then immediately felt a little sad. The old man in front of him had been working as a security guard in the staff community, and he was absolutely dedicated to his duties.
Moreover, the old man especially likes children. When Chen Xia was a child in his previous life, he liked to play with the old man Shan.
In this life, it is still the same soul, but a different person. The appearance has also changed, so it is still different in the end.
Chen Xia smiled bitterly and took out his work ID.
Old Man Shan took a closer look and said, "Oh, you're from Yuezhou Fourth Hospital. What a guy! He's the deputy director of the General Affairs Department. You're quite impressive, young man. Who are you looking for this time?"
With the work permit, the old man's attitude improved significantly.
"I'm looking for Dr. Chen Zhenwu from your hospital."
"Oh, Doctor Chen, he's not off work yet, but his mother is at home taking care of the kids, so you can go up."
Chen Xia was completely excited. Yes, his grandmother was still alive at that time. She was the person who loved him the most when he was a child.
It didn't matter that Chen Xia was already running over at the speed of a 100-meter sprint. He didn't even need Old Man Shan to point the way. He would never forget where his hometown was and could find it with his eyes closed.
I found Building 11, the house on the east side of the second floor. Yes, it was this one. I knocked on the door anxiously, "bang bang bang."
"Who is it?"
As soon as the door opened, Chen Xia looked at the little old lady in front of him with wrinkles all over her face, wearing an old blue cotton-padded jacket. Who else could it be but her grandmother in her previous life?
Chen Xia hugged her and shouted happily, "Grandma, I'm Xiao Xia, hahahaha."
"Hey, put it down. Oh, I'm wondering whose child you are. I don't know you."
The old lady was stunned by the hug and struggled to get away, then looked at Chen Xia with dissatisfaction.
"Oh, I'm Chen Xia..."
Chen Xia suddenly remembered that the original Chen Xia was not born in 1981. This was a huge mistake.
The old lady asked again cautiously: "Young comrade, I have never seen you before. Who are you looking for?"
"I...I'm looking for Doctor Chen Zhenwu and Nurse Yin Yue'e."
"That's unfortunate. Why don't you sit for a while? They're about to get off work."
After the old lady finished speaking, she let Chen Xia into her home. At that time, people were simple and honest, without as many messy things as in later generations, so everyone was quite welcoming to the strange guests.
Chen Xia carried a lot of bags and entered the home he once remembered. He grew up here and knew the layout of the room very well.
Later, with the city's demolition, this community was demolished along with Jiangzhou People's Hospital.
Returning to the place where he lived as a child, Chen Xia felt nostalgic while searching for some familiar furniture, such as the octagonal table, the chest of drawers, and the broken sofa.
Everything is so intimate.
Suddenly he saw a little boy and a little girl hiding at the door of the room, secretly watching him.
Chen Xia recognized them at a glance. These were his older brother and sister from his previous life. Now one was 7 years old and the other was 5 years old, still little kids.
