Chapter 87 Exchange



Perhaps because she slept too much during the day, Song Shuyao was not sleepy at night. She tossed and turned in bed, but she didn't dare to continue to tossing and turning for a while because a strange sound suddenly came from the other room, like the uncontrollable joy. Song Shuyao, who had a predecessor, was stunned for a while before she reacted. While complaining about the poor sound insulation of this room in her heart, she also thought that her elder brother and sister-in-law were really busy giving birth to their little nephew.

As soon as this strange thought flashed through her mind, Song Shuyao realized that the remaining consciousness of the original owner was affecting her thinking. Song Shuyao didn't care about this, because if she really planned to live a good life in the 1960s, she would have to fully integrate into it. Otherwise, she would suffer if she was too incompatible with this era. Song Shuyao didn't want to cause trouble for herself, and the best way was to live like a person from the 1960s.

Thinking of this, Song Shuyao strangely couldn't muster any energy. It felt like she knew what to do to be good for herself but was too lazy to act. In fact, this state lasted for a long time. Song Shuyao discovered it early but refused to investigate it. She knew that the reason she got after investigating it would tear apart her superficial calmness, and she was unwilling to bow to him.

But now it was meaningless to delve into it. When it came to cruelty, she still lost to him. He simply cut off all contact and finally teased her with the suicide note. In his heart, how heartless was she to remain indifferent after reading the suicide note?

For a moment she felt hatred in her heart, but it quickly dissipated. If she wanted to move on, she had to learn to forget.

Song Shuyao closed her eyes and decided to consolidate the original owner's memory and stop thinking about useless things. It was impossible anyway.

Far away in Nanxi Village, a tall and strong man had already got off the train with his luggage in hand. He had a stern face and gave off an aura of "keep away from strangers". No one wanted to go up and cause trouble when they saw his military uniform.

Liang Li, no, maybe he should be called Hao Yuanchao now. He went to the town hospital according to the route he remembered. First, he had to go and see if the newly born twins were still in the hospital and how their physical condition was. Then he had to go back to deal with the funeral of his eldest brother and sister-in-law, and then there was the issue of the placement of the four children.

As for his fiancée far away in North City? Liang Li had no intention of accepting even this for the original owner. He had only ever loved one person in his life, and no matter what century, era, or identity, he would never betray her.

However, Liang Li looked up at the dark sky. It looked like it was going to rain again. She was easily upset on rainy days. If she received his will at this time...

Suddenly, he felt a little regretful. No matter how heartless and ruthless a woman appeared on the surface, she was actually as fragile as a cat. He really shouldn't have bothered her one last time...

However, Liang Li sighed secretly. He still wanted to give her everything that belonged to him, except the life he had dedicated to the country.

Next life, if there is a next life.

Liang Li withdrew his gaze and his face became serious and meticulous again.

I'll cancel the engagement when I get back!

Shugen didn't understand all this. He just thought that his second aunt's eyes were strange. However, he was a carefree person and often forgot about it after a while. He told Hao Yuanchao this just because he didn't like Goudan stealing his food.

Hao Yuanchao didn't directly answer Shugen's question. Instead, he said, "I'm coming back this time to take the four of you away to live with me and your second aunt in the military district. Are you happy with that?"

"Live with uncle and aunt?" A puzzled look flashed across Shugen's little eyes, not quite understanding what this meant.

"Just like you lived with your parents before, you will live with me and your second aunt from now on."

"My parents are dead. Will you die too?" People in rural areas are not shy about talking about death in front of children, because death is very common in rural areas. In addition to death from old age and illness, every year there are people who die while swimming, or are gored to death by wild boars while climbing the mountains. In the past few years, there were also people who starved to death. Various kinds of death and death at any time and anywhere make rural people sad and accustomed to it. Even in an era without gossip and entertainment, death is still brought up as a topic of conversation after dinner, especially abnormal death. People will say it's a pity or bad luck, but they don't worry about whether the children will have any psychological problems after hearing it, or tell them with white lies that the dead are just sleeping/going on a long journey/turning into stars in the sky to protect them.

These things don't exist. They'll say that when a person dies, they're gone, buried underground, and will never be seen again. Even if children are confused and don't understand, further questioning won't bring comfort, but rather impatience. At most, they can be more patient and tolerant for a month or two before and after the funeral, but after that, these feelings will fade.

In an era when food and clothing were still a problem, death would never make rural people sad year after year. What they worried about were the crops in the fields and the living people. The dead would eventually fade away from their hearts when they turned into yellow earth, and there would not be much sadness even when they were mentioned.

Shugen was initially heartbroken when his parents died. He cried, woke up in the middle of the night to look for them, unable to sleep. But he was still young, still naive, and couldn't fully grasp the true meaning of death. No one around him, except his eldest brother, Tiezhu, told him to remember them. When he asked about his second aunt, she simply told him not to ask again. People were gone, gone. Everyone's lives were no different from when their parents were still alive. The neighbor lady still cried at dinnertime, calling her children to eat. The team leader still walked around the fields, urging them to work. His playmates still climbed trees to get bird eggs and competed to see who could urinate the farthest. His "world" was normal, no different at all, except that the people he called his parents no longer lived at home. Shugen was still young, and he didn't understand why his eldest brother, Tiezhu, cried secretly every night.
