1968, Commune Health Center.
The young man was wearing coarse cloth clothes with his trouser legs rolled up to his knees. With a sad face, he lifted the curtain at the door and went into the house.
He put the bag on his shoulder next to the bed and said, "Sister, if you don't wake up, I'm going to beat you to death!"
"It's either way! How about I just steal the captain's letter of introduction and send you back to the provincial capital? Auntie is right. Even if your adoptive parents in the city are heartless, you still have a fiancé."
"Marry a chicken and she's a chicken, marry a dog and she's a dog, but he's better than a pig or a dog."
Su Niannian woke up amid the pushing and shoving, and gradually saw clearly the dark complexion of the young man squatting beside the bed. His sharp eyebrows flew into his temples, making him look a little fierce, but his eyes were as clear as a child's, making him look naive.
“Brother…brother…”
Her voice trembled as she reached out to touch the other person's face. The skin she touched was warm and rough, but Su Jianshan had clearly died two years ago. When she was imprisoned by Jin Chuan, her honest and simple-minded elder brother had worked as a laborer in the provincial capital in order to find her, and had sold blood crazily. He eventually died suddenly in a bridge tunnel, and no one collected his body.
At this moment, she actually saw her living brother. Was it a dream?
The cicadas in the summer were very annoying, making strange "zhila zhila" sounds at the top of their lungs from all directions. Su Niannian looked around. The roof was made of wooden beams and was covered with cobwebs. The walls were covered with white mud and an old almanac was inserted on it. The bold and large black letters were eye-catching: 1968.
She was reborn?!
Su Niannian twisted the arm of the person next to her with trembling hands.
Su Jianshan almost jumped up, "It hurts! Sister!"
He looked at Su Niannian in confusion, observing her carefully.
The other party was well raised by the Chen family.
Two jet-black braids hung on her shoulders, her small face was as white as creamy breasts, her skin was as tender as if it was full of water, her eyelids were thin, her eyelashes were long and curled, her eyes looked particularly delicate, and her beautiful diamond-shaped lips were glowing the tender red of cherries on branches because of the abundant blood.
Su Jianshan saw that she wanted to cry, and he tried to keep the corners of his lips tight, but he managed to hold it back. There was a blush in his eyes, and he looked indescribably well-behaved and pitiful.
He said hastily, "A couple more pinches will do, I just deserve it! We won't eat bran or go to the fields to farm anymore. If the sky falls, I'll hold it up. I'll take you back to the provincial capital!"
Back to the city?
Going back to the provincial capital now is like jumping into a fire pit!
Things from my previous life are still vivid in my mind.
After the identities of the real and fake daughter were revealed, Su Niannian was sent back to her hometown in the countryside by Chen's mother. The parents who had committed the mistake had passed away long ago, and all matters were left to her grandmother Wang Guifen to decide.
She was pampered in the Chen family for eighteen years and learned the ways of the capitalists. Once she returned to the countryside, she fell directly to the bottom of the food chain. Only her brother Su Jianshan carefully protected her.
When making fire, the firewood pile at home may be burned down; when cutting grass for pigs, they may fall into the pond; when pulling weeds, the seedlings may be pulled out; and when going to the fields, one must be afraid of leeches.
During the autumn harvest, she went to help harvest rice, but she used too much force and almost cut off her foot with the machete.
Just like this, I have been lying in the clinic for three days.
Su Jianshan didn't want his sister to suffer, so at the instigation of his aunt, he simply stole the captain's letter of introduction and wanted to send her away.
This departure means separation of life and death.
She joined the art troupe as she wished and reunited with Jin Chuan. Later, she had an accident while practicing dancing and broke her leg. She was then forced to live in Jin's house. As they spent time together, the other party took off his mask, showing an amazing possessiveness. He began to use tricks to control Su Niannian by his side. At first, they talked about feelings, and then used coercion and inducement, and then directly imprisoned her.
For the sake of her family, Su Niannian endured it all. On the eve of Jin Chuan and Chen Niannian's wedding, the woman came to the door and informed them of the news of Su Jianshan's death. Since then, Su Niannian, who had been imprisoned for almost two years, committed suicide by cutting her wrists at home, ending her tragic and wrong life.
Tears rolled down silently,
I can never make the same mistake again in my life.
She wants to protect her brother and join the art troupe.
Don't give Jin Chuan any chance to touch her!
Su Niannian couldn't help but stand up and took two steps. There were still traces of tears on her face, but the light in her eyes was shocking: "Brother, I won't go back to the provincial capital! I will stay in Xiangyang Village."
"If you stay in the countryside and don't earn work points, you'll starve to death."
"Then I will learn to mow the grass, plant rice, sow seeds, and break corn, or marry a good man. There are always more solutions than difficulties. I will learn to overcome them."
Su Niannian is just eighteen years old. Her face is white and soft, as fresh and fresh as the willow buds just plucked in early spring. Even her voice seems to be coated with honey. When she acts coquettishly, there are people willing to take the blame for her, no matter how big the mistake is.
Su Jianshan nodded subconsciously: "Okay."
The former took a deep breath and inexplicably calmed down, as long as he didn't have any contact with scientific research monster like Jin Chuan.
Everything can be done slowly.
…
The door curtain was lifted.
Wang Guifen, wearing a clean blue cotton-padded jacket, stood at the door like an old hen and yelled, "Su Jianshan, you've really made it! You have the guts to go to the captain's house and steal a letter of introduction. I think you're just being cowardly, and you dare to instigate your sister to run to the provincial capital. What do you think that's a good place? You want to go there? I'll break your legs! It's none of your business to worry about where your sister is going."
"We have distinguished guests at home. We have nothing to do anyway. Let's go to the main street and catch some cicada monkeys. At least we can add some meat to the table!" The old lady turned her face and said gently, "Niannian, come home with me on the ox cart. The sun is scorching. I have mung bean soup at home. Drink a bowl of it to relieve your internal heat."
As the backbone of the Su family, Wang Guifen always has the final say.
None of the younger generations looked down on her.
Su Niannian changed her usual silence and said, "I want to go see my brother catching cicada monkeys."
Wang Guifen quickly put the blue cloth bundle under her armpit, and then put the straw hat hanging behind her shoulders on her granddaughter's head. The scattered sunlight fell through the gaps in the hat, making the little girl's skin as white as jade and her lips and teeth as red as white.
"good."
"If you don't come back on time, I'll skin your brother alive!"
After paying the medicine fee,
The grandmother, her grandson and her two children went their separate ways after leaving the clinic.
The brother and sister walked one after the other.
Su Jianshan was holding a bamboo pole with the top of it wrapped with wheat glue that Wang Guifen had brought. It was made from sun-dried wheat grains that had been chewed repeatedly into a thick paste. After the bran layer was rubbed off, it became extremely sticky and cicadas could not escape once they got stuck.
In his previous life, he had often used cicada shells to exchange malt sugar for Su Niannian. Her dark skin was covered with hot sweat, and even her clothes were soaked and stuck to her body.
Su Niannian, who was hiding under the shade of a tree, kicked the gravel with her feet, her eyes gradually reddened: "What kind of distinguished guest is coming to our house? And he wants to eat such an oil-consuming dish as cicada monkey?"
"Aunt Xiu'e's sister? Sister Wang next door..."
"You worked so hard to glue this together." Su Niannian took two or three steps closer and snatched the cloth bag from the young man's waist with her fair hands. "Let's give it to the one who collects the herbs."
Second Aunt's sister often gossiped about Su Jianshan.
I also called him a fool and a nemesis!
Su Niannian would rather throw the food away than give it to such a person.
Suddenly, there was the sound of a car raising dust on the road. A jeep passed by the brother and sister, then suddenly stopped. The window of the driver's seat slid down halfway, obviously waiting for them to pass.
Su Jianshan was shocked and said, "You're here to collect cicada monkeys? You came early today."
Su Niannian's eyes lit up, she grabbed the cloth bag and jogged away. Caught off guard, her slender body even swayed, and she subconsciously held up the car window with one hand.
"Uncle, here you go! In exchange for five pieces of wheat..."
In a flash, a force gave her a support. The other person's knuckles were slender and there was a faint bullet scar on the back of his hand.
Su Niannian was suddenly stunned.
The young man's gaze fell over.
His eyes were sharp, his facial features were stiff and inhuman, his wheat-colored elbows were resting on the windowsill, his blood vessels were faintly pulsating, and his low voice was like rolling sand.
"Five dollars? Is it the rule of Qinggang Commune that you have to exchange something before asking for directions? This... young comrade."
