Chapter 3: Carrying Her
With his humor and the harsh conditions in the ward where there was not even a seat, Zhai Da barely fooled his head teacher and a group of classmates.
When the class teacher Ding Rong left, she conveyed the school's concern and told the students to have a good rest tomorrow and return to school the day after tomorrow.
She also emphasized again that the college entrance examination is not the only way out. If Zhai Da repeats her studies at the same school, she can get a 20% discount. If she works, her husband works in an electronics factory.
The level of the second mock exam will not be much different from that of the college entrance examination. The pressure in the third year of high school is already high, and there have been examples of a string breaking in previous years. In the ten years since she started working, there have been three kite flyers in Dongyang County.
In her opinion, Zhai Da fainted because of stress, but only Zhai Da himself knew that he probably made a mistake because of the aftereffects of his rebirth.
If he had been so ambitious as to "get angry and anxious because of studying", how could he have ended up in such a poor junior college?
But Bai Yueguang Lin Shuyao looked unhappy when she left. If it wasn't for the fact that rejecting Zhai Dan in public would save her face, why would she come to the hospital to visit him after the exam?
What's the point? Is there a coupon for Zhai Da's repeat exam?
As a result, the proud thing made her lose face. She would not believe a word of Ayase Haruka. It was obvious that Zhai Da was being stubborn to save face.
He just likes me! He just can't save face!
The ward finally regained its peace and quiet. Zhai Da closed the curtain and changed back into his clothes.
After a moment of silence, Zhai Da took a deep breath.
Very deep, very deep...until his lungs began to hurt, and then he slowly exhaled.
Then he put on his brightest and most reassuring smile, opened the curtain, and gave it to his mother.
"Mom! Look, I'm fine! Stop crying!"
Yu Xiaoli wiped the corners of her eyes, laughing and crying at the same time: "Don't cry, don't cry... People who shed tears are unlucky!"
This proverb, which came from nowhere, was repeated by my mother all her life. On the eve of her death in her previous life, Yu Xiaoli, who was lying on the hospital bed, also comforted Zhai Da in the same way.
Even this middle-aged woman in front of me, who was a bit overweight, had lost weight to less than 80 kilograms due to chemotherapy in the last stage of her life...
So Zhai Da's eyes became a little moist.
At the hospital entrance, Yu Xiaoli pushed out a 28-inch bicycle from the carport. It was rusty but very sturdy.
In fact, there were already quite a few electric scooters in the small county town in 2008, but my mother was always reluctant to buy one because one cost more than 2,000 yuan, and she often heard that someone's battery had been stolen.
So the 28-inch bicycle passed down from grandpa became the only means of transportation for the mother and son.
Zhai Da's school is only one kilometer away, while Yu Xiaoli's workplace is eight kilometers away from home, so Yu Xiaoli usually rides the bicycle.
When she was very young, Yu Xiaoli used this bicycle to take Zhai Da around the county town. She would spend half a day here and half a day there visiting friends before she could free up her hands to go to work in the factory.
And this old item actually became the second piece of [equipment] that Zhai Da encountered.
When he saw his mother pushing a bicycle towards him, he suddenly saw
Magical text, on the retina, a broken line starts from the handlebars and connects to a text box with a strong sense of technology, as if it is a game overlapping with reality.
"A special white object was discovered: a sturdy Forever 28 bicycle. This old bicycle has carried three generations of people and has never been involved in a single accident."
"Status: Not owned, not activated."
"Effects: 1. Main body sturdiness +20%, 2. Riding safety +20%."
"Not yet activated, requires the host to take ownership."
"Note: Its crossbeam is as strong as the spine of its original owner."
Zhai Da was stunned. This was really...unexpected and reasonable.
A bicycle that has carried three generations...
Zhai Da took the bicycle and pushed it forward, saying, "Mom, can you give me this bicycle?"
Yu Xiaoli was a little confused: "What do you mean by giving it away or not? Aren't they all our own things? Are you going to sell them?"
"How much can it be sold for? Besides, this is all left by my grandfather. Can I just keep this car as mine from now on?"
"Then I go to work?"
"Consider it my loan to you, for an unlimited period of time."
Yu Xiaoli chuckled, feeling that after her son woke up...
It becomes humorous!
Perhaps Zhai Da himself did not realize that a tired adult soul that has just returned to the body of a teenager generally would not be so detached, and there would be some disconnection and discomfort.
But he seems to be adapting well.
[Joker Love Letter] actually had a pretty big impact.
Of course, he wouldn't care even if he knew.
My rebirth is not a waste? My rebirth is not in vain?
"Okay, okay, I'll give this bike to you from now on. I'll just borrow it for Mom to ride!"
The relationship between mother and son is simple. With Yu Xiaoli's words, the description of the bicycle on the interface in front of her eyes changed.
"Ownership of the [Solid Permanent 28-inch Bar] has been acquired, and the equipment effect has been activated..."
[Equipment] is not magical in itself, but is given by the system. After all, there is no supernatural power in this world.
Except him, probably.
However, after owning the equipment and activating it, the system does not seem to restrict him from lending it to others. This is very important!
Zhai Da chuckled and said that from now on, this bike would be given to his mother to ride.
Safety is the greatest luxury, even if it is a 28-inch truck!
I have to mention the Maybach here, what a lousy car! If I had bought a cheaper M9, maybe Xiaoyi could have driven herself to the hospital.
After leaving the yard, Zhai Da, who didn't want to make his mother more tired, insisted on riding the bike himself and let his mother sit sideways on the back.
Yu Xiaoli rode all the way from the factory to the hospital and was actually very tired.
After a brief trial, Zhai Da started steadily and drove towards the setting sun.
Facing the breeze before summer even begins, I feel particularly refreshed. I don’t know if it’s because my body has become younger and my pores have opened up, or if it’s simply because my mood has become more relaxed.
beauty.
When he was at this age, he always wanted to take his beloved girl, such as Lin Shuyao, with him.
But when he had the chance to do it again, he suddenly felt that being able to carry his mother was a better life.
The mother was sitting in the back, and seeing that he really seemed to be fine, she finally felt relieved.
"Xiao Da, whatever do you want to eat tonight, mom will make it for you."
Zhai Da laughed happily: "Fried jelly!"
This is a specialty of this area. After his mother passed away, he probably hadn't eaten it for ten years.
Because he rarely came back to Dongyang County, a place without family is not considered home, and a place without people to care about is not considered a hometown.
"Okay, then you can ride to the East Street Market and I'll buy you a fish head stew to nourish your body."
Maybe it was because he failed the test, but Yu Xiaoli felt that Zhai Da was particularly obedient and patient today.
Although the mother and son depended on each other in the past, it was actually not easy to communicate with an adolescent boy. One went to school and the other worked, so they were just "acquaintances" every day. Zhai Da would become impatient if she said anything.
But today I feel that my son is particularly...easy to talk to.
That requires a few more words.
Yu Xiaoli began muttering in the back seat, "A true man has ambitions! Your grandfather was the same way. He was in his 30s, had just been admitted to university, met that woman, and was sent straight to the northwest. Didn't he still learn a lot of skills?"
"Mom is right, Grandpa is really amazing."
"Our Xiaoda is no dumber than any other child. He's just a bit unlucky. At worst, you can just repeat the grade. Mom will support you! You'll be a man again next year!"
"Isn't it too far to repeat the exam? This is only the second mock exam, can't we salvage it?"
"Then think about it slowly. Why were you so obedient today? Did you faint after a while? Did your temper change?"
"This is called enlightenment! Don't worry, Mom, just watch! I will definitely make our lives better and better!"
"You're still young and still struggling...but being obedient is a good thing."
"All right! I'll do whatever you say!"
From small details to big things mentioned indirectly, Yu Xiaoli felt that she had not talked so much with her son for a long time.
Isn't Zhai Da the same?
Facing the wind dyed red by the setting sun, Zhai Da felt that his heart, which had been castrated by the big city and could not be thawed by 40 million, had finally softened.
Forgive the Maybach 3 seconds.
Simplicity is the truth, really.
Life is full of 30,000 sunsets. He recalled a high school text called "I and the Earthen Altar":
The sun is both the sunset and the sunrise at every moment. When it goes down the mountain to collect all the desolate afterglow, it is also the time when it climbs up the mountain to spread the bright morning light on the other side.
So in life, we will experience more than 30,000 beginnings.
And now he holds the most precious one.
Whoever this master is, thank you!
"You're all listening to me? Then can I confiscate your phone?"
"Mom, what did you say? The wind is so strong I can't hear you!"
