Nan Nan was born in a small town.
The town is both small and large; small enough that everyone knows each other, and large enough that no one has ever left the town.
My father went out to work, and my mother made tofu and ran a small business in town.
Nan Nan was able to sell tofu when he was five years old. He would stand on a small stool and call out to the vendors in a childish voice.
"Uncle, aunt, brother, sister, grandpa, grandma, don't miss out! Homemade tofu, three yuan a pound, three yuan for a big block. If you don't like it, come find me..."
Although Nan Nan didn't understand the meaning of these words, he remembered them clearly, word for word.
Each time he shouted, many adults would gather around curiously, saying, "The little one is so sensible."
Many people bought a piece of tofu to take home, and the money in the little red bucket kept increasing, making the mother's smile bigger and bigger.
Nan Nan understood a principle: those words could make her mother happy.
Mom was happy, and so was he.
Happy and peaceful days passed by one by one, until one day he suddenly fainted and woke up in an unfamiliar place.
The blankets were white, the ceiling was white, the walls were white, and even Mom's face was white.
Every night, the sound of sorrowful crying could be heard, "Waaah... Yong, what will Mom do without you? Waaah..."
Nan Nan doesn't like it here. "Mommy, I want to leave."
His mother patted his head. "Okay, let's go. Mom will take Nan Nan to the big city."
Nan Nan asked with anticipation, "A big city with slides, a carousel, and a white-bearded grandpa frying chicken?"
Mom lowered her head and softly hummed in agreement.
He was so happy at the time that he didn't notice that a large patch of the blanket was wet.
Nan Nan looked forward to tomorrow every day, but she didn't see everything she had imagined.
He moved from a small white room to a large white room.
There was no crying; it was very quiet, but the mother's face turned even paler.
Nan Nan cried and wanted to leave, saying, "I'm in pain, I want my dad, I want my mom, I want to go home, I don't like white."
Sister Yueyue comforted him, "Little Nannan, be a good boy and listen to the doctor. You'll be out soon. When you're better, I'll grant you a request."
Nan Nan bit her lower lip. "I want to eat fried chicken."
Since moving into Bai Bai's room, he can't eat this or that.
An advertisement playing on a loop on TV instantly caught his attention.
The people inside seemed to be enjoying their meal. Would eating the fried chicken make him happy too?
Nan Nan didn't know, but decided to give it a try.
Sister Yueyue held up her little finger, "Little Nannan, it's a deal."
Nan Nan hooked her finger around hers, "Pinky promise, a hundred years from now, never to change."
"Sister Yueyue, please remember our promise."
"I will never forget."
Sister Yueyue hasn't forgotten, but he can't wait.
The children in the next bed changed one after another, but he remained in bed, his body growing weaker and weaker.
It hurts! It hurts so much!!!
My back hurts, my legs hurt, my shoulders hurt!!
Sister Yueyue said he did something great: by being a good girl and listening to the doctor, he'll be able to eat fried chicken soon.
How long is "soon"?
Hang in there, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt, Nan Nan doesn't hurt.
He held back his tears and obediently got the injection, took the medicine, ate the food, had the tubes inserted, and slept.
So tired, so tired, I never want to open my eyes again...
A familiar voice came to her ears, "Nan Nan, wake up, wake up. Don't forget our promise. Keep living, hope will come."
Nan Nan wanted to speak but couldn't open his mouth. He silently prayed in his heart, believing that his clever sister Yueyue could hear him.
It hurts so much! I don't want this aching body. I want a body that can run, jump, eat, and sleep.
Sister Yueyue, wait for me. When Nannan gets a new body, I'll come back and have fried chicken with you.
The alarm on the equipment sounded, and Nan Nan closed her eyes forever.
He floated in the air and watched as Yueyue pulled out the tubes, and his parents kept crying.
Nan Nan waved frantically, but no one paid any attention.
He was given a body that didn't hurt, but his parents and older sister Yueyue ignored him.
Mom and Dad took another "him" away, and Sister Yueyue gently took care of the other children.
Nan Nan regretted it, "Waaah, I want to switch back."
He tried many methods, asking Sister Yueyue for help and the dean for help, but none of them could bring him back.
Sister Yueyue even slapped him and chased him away for the sake of other children.
Nan Nan was heartbroken and hid in a dark room until she met her strange older sister tonight.
His wish has finally come true.
At this moment, I felt both happy and sad.
Nan Nan held the chicken leg, taking a bite and swallowing it, a tear falling from her eye.
Hua Yueyue quickly pulled out a tissue, then realized he was a ghost and silently put it back.
She comforted her in her usual tone, "Little Nan Nan, don't cry. You'll have fried chicken, and you'll have a wonderful life too."
Nan Nan wiped away her tears. "I didn't cry, I just got some fried chicken in my eyes, burp, sob sob."
Ji Heng put down the chicken leg he had half-eaten. "Don't cry, you can have my leg."
Nan Nan glanced at it disdainfully, "No, I have some."
He hugged the chicken leg and ate it frantically, eating as much as he could, because there wouldn't be any left to eat in the underworld.
Hua Yueyue raised a chicken leg, "Come on! Cheers to a bright tomorrow!"
Nan Nan was the first to respond, raising half a chicken leg high, "Cheers to a bright tomorrow!"
Ji Heng waved the chicken skeleton.
Qian Fugui took a new chicken leg.
Lin Xi followed the formation, but never shouted childish slogans.
Five chicken legs of different shapes were placed together, and Hua Yueyue took the lead in shouting.
Cheers to a brighter tomorrow!!!
The enthusiastic atmosphere infected everyone present, including the two people standing outside the door.
Head Nurse Liu Meiling pushed open the door, "Hua Yueyue, what are you up to in my office again?!"
"Ouch! Holy crap!!" Hua Yueyue was startled.
A transparent shadow floated around on the table, startling Liu Meiling. "Ahhh!! What is that?"
Hua Yueyue blocked Nan Nan's path, forcing a stiff smile, "Head Nurse, you've mistaken me for someone else."
Liu Meiling gasped for breath, "Hua Yueyue, you're going to drive me crazy!!"
Hua Yueyue was about to get up when she saw another person outside the door, so she sat back down.
With her there, this time it's a sure thing.
A tall woman supported Liu Meiling and gently patted her chest. "Meiling, take a deep breath."
Liu Meiling took two breaths. "Hua Yueyue not only brought outsiders in, but she also stole fried chicken!"
"Qingyan, look at this group of people!"
"It's alright, I'll handle it." Chen Qingyan said calmly, glancing at the people inside before her gaze lingered on a certain face.
Qian Fugui happened to look up.
Their eyes met in mid-air.
Qian Fugui's pupils dilated in shock, so much so that he dropped the fried chicken in his hand.
Holy crap! Chen Qingyan, Dr. Chen, that's the girl from back then!!!
