Zhou Yiyi looked at the tightly closed dark blue wooden door in front of her and raised her hand to wipe away her tears.
I turned around and saw my four-year-old sister crying pitifully, so I walked over.
Holding my sister's hand:
"Xiaoyi, stop crying. Come on, I'll take you to dinner."
At the age of forty, Zhou Yiyi really didn't want to live anymore.
The days are boring and life feels meaningless.
She forgot when this idea started to occur to her.
But she remembered that when she was in elementary school, she had the idea of stepping on empty air and rolling down the stairs of the teaching building.
Decades of torture.
She couldn't hold on after all.
However, she didn't expect that when she opened her eyes, she would return to this time.
Late spring when that younger brother would be born.
She still remembers that day vividly.
That day, when she and her sister came home from school, the door of the house was tightly closed and there was no adult in the whole house.
They knocked on the door crying.
Afraid of being abandoned, afraid that their parents don’t want them.
Even though in fact, they had been taken to be raised by their grandmother very early on.
They cried for more than an hour before the door finally opened.
However, what greeted them was their father's anger.
And the disappointed looks in the eyes of the grandmas and grandmas looking at them.
It seems to be saying, how can you be so ignorant.
For a long time, she couldn't understand why she was scolded that day.
She only knew that from that day on, there was one more person in the family.
Her younger brother.
A baby boy who was born with the anticipation of his parents and grandparents.
A child whose TV was taken away from home by the family planning department one month later!
The more I think about the memories, the longer and clearer they become.
Zhou Yiyi always remembered the ferocious look on the face of her father who used to smile and play with her in her memory that day.
She was scared.
Since then, I am no longer close to my father, and even subconsciously distance myself from him and am afraid of him.
I don’t know when my mother started it.
At this moment, the stoves in the house are all cold.
She could only pull her sister to sit in the kitchen, and then walk with her now short legs to find firewood.
She's not very good at making a fire.
Even if I knew it in elementary and junior high school, I almost forgot it all after entering high school and college.
After graduation, I used gas stoves and electric stoves directly, but I was really clumsy about making fire.
But fortunately, the fire finally started.
She scooped water into the pot, waited for the water to boil, broke a steamed bun into pieces, and put it in to heat.
The younger sister had stopped crying and was staring at her blankly:
"Sister, do mom and dad not want us anymore? Will I be without a mom and dad from now on?"
At this point, she started crying again.
Zhou Yiyi took a bench, sat next to her sister, and helped her wipe her tears:
"Don't be afraid, Xiaoyi. Mom and Dad are busy with something, not because they don't want us anymore."
They just forgot about us.
Xiaoyi is too young and she doesn’t understand many things yet.
But she trusts her sister very much.
At this moment, she nodded her head obediently: "Yes! Sister, I'm not afraid."
The steamed buns heated up quickly.
Zhou Yiyi took a porcelain bowl and filled it with half a steamed bun for her sister. She also took a bowl and put the steamed bun in it.
The two sisters finished a steamed bun in silence in the narrow kitchen.
"Sister, I'm thirsty."
After eating the steamed buns, Xiaoyi pulled her sister's sleeve dependently, her face blushing as she expressed her request.
Zhou Yiyi took a teacup, scooped a cup of water, and poured it into her sister's bowl.
The little guy pouted and blew on the water a few times. After the hot air was blown away, he leaned over and took a careful sip.
Still a little hot.
The little guy didn't rush to take the second sip. He pouted his little mouth and started blowing on it.
Just drink the water carefully.
The little guy held the bowl and looked at his sister.
Zhou Yiyi felt a little sorry for her sister.
She actually doesn't have many memories of her sister.
In many things that left a deep impression on her, she could never find any trace of her sister.
She couldn't remember what her sister was doing when those things happened, or what kind of mood she was in when facing them.
Seeing her sister finish drinking the water, she scooped herself a bucket of cold water and gulped it down.
Seeing that the fire in the stove had gone out, she took her sister's hand and said:
"Come on, sister will take you to school."
It was only mid-February at this time, and the school was still following the winter time schedule, with classes starting at 2 p.m.
It's not even one o'clock yet.
But there are quite a few people who go to school after dinner at this time.
Because this period of time before class is a good time for them to play together.
She needs to find a quiet place and think carefully about how to live her life.
Even though she had fantasized about it countless times in her previous life, if she could do it again, she would no longer be sad about those illusory care and love. She would study hard and read all the books in the library.
But when the day finally came, she was actually a little confused.

When Xin Guoguo woke up again, it was already around three or four in the afternoon.
She was in a trance for a while, and then she heard the man's somewhat irritable voice:
"Those two girls are so annoying! They were making so much noise that it gave me a headache. But when I went out, they were nowhere to be found."
"Don't be so irritable all day. Those two girls are still young."
This is the voice of the original owner's mother-in-law.
When Xin Guoguo opened her eyes, the first person to notice her was her mother.
She seemed to be keeping an eye on her daughter all the time.
As soon as she saw her daughter wake up, she hurried over:
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
