Lin Weiwan went from anger to despair to calmness. She wanted to leave, but there was always a force pulling her back. She didn't realize it at first, but later she realized that the reason she left was entirely because of the black jade bead she had brought with her since she was a child.
"Knock...Knock...Xiao Wan, get up quickly or the food will get cold. I still need to move my luggage in a while." Zhou Rongrong's voice came faintly from the door.
The girl on the bed frowned, her fair face covered with sweat. She suddenly sat up and opened her starry eyes.
Looking at the familiar bedroom, Lin Weiwan's eyes were filled with disbelief and he took a deep breath.
Hearing Zhou Rongrong's voice, Lin Weiwan looked towards the door with eyes as sharp as knives. He felt like he was reborn.
"Oh." Lin Weiwan responded coldly. He got up from the bed and walked to the desk.
Looking at the calendar, I was reborn on July 13, 1974, when I moved in with the Zhou family. It was still a little late, as the family had already moved in.
“Then hurry up, I’ll be busy after I finish moving.” Seeing that Lin Weiwan took a long time to agree to her, Zhou Rongrong glared at Lin Weiwan’s door fiercely.
Last night, with great difficulty, after Zhou's mother and my own persuasion, Lin Weiwan agreed to let me move into this bedroom.
As a result, she stayed in bed all morning and had to be woken up by herself. She really thought she was a lady. Zhou Rongrong went downstairs angrily.
The summer breeze blew in from the window. Lin Weiwan opened the closet, looked up at the two locked suitcases on the top shelf, and took out a white striped suitcase from the hanger.
He reached for his empty neck and searched around for a while before remembering that the black jade bead must have fallen into Zhou Rongrong's hands. He had to get his things back. The bead was very strange. It seemed like a magic trick that it would disappear and reappear.
In the previous life, I watched Zhou Rongrong use the space beads she got from me to run back and forth in the market to resell things and pretend to be treasures. This life is definitely a bargain for her.
After washing up, he walked down the stairs and looked at the people who were already sitting in the restaurant. Lin Weiwan's face was calm, but he couldn't help but clench his fists tightly. He couldn't be too calm if anyone saw him killing himself.
"You are such an uneducated girl. You got up early in the morning to cook, but you still made your parents wait for you." Mrs. Zhou looked unhappy. Seeing Lin Weiwan coming down the stairs slowly, she looked at her and cursed. She looked completely different from the day she recognized her relatives.
"Mom, don't say that. Xiaowan is still young, and she will naturally learn these trivial things after a while. Xiaowan, come and sit down." Zhou's mother Chen Suyun stood up to welcome Lin Weiwan over, and took Lin Weiwan's hand to the restaurant with a loving mother's look.
Lin Weiwan sat between Zhou's mother and Zhou Rongrong, opposite Zhou's grandfather and his wife, and next to him was Zhou's eldest son, Wei Bei.
Zhou Xiao and Zhou Weinan were here, and they must have gone to work at this time.
Even though it was already past eight o'clock and they were extremely hungry, they didn't touch the food on the table, insisting on waiting for Lin Weiwan to wake up so they could eat together.
Lin Weiwan's eyes moved. At this moment, this family was still thinking about waiting for her to have dinner together. Then she suddenly realized that Zhou Laosi's kidney had not undergone transplant surgery yet.
"Everything is here, let's start eating." Mr. Zhou looked calm, but after seeing what was going on, he took the lead in starting to eat.
Mother Zhou picked up a scrambled egg for Lin Weiwan and put it into her bowl. "You must be hungry, come and try this dish I made."
Lin Weiwan looked at the white rice and four dishes on the dining table. This year, even working-class families have to think twice before eating a good meal. In the morning, they have to eat only porridge and side dishes. They don't need to think about food. They use the fine grains that they originally put in the kitchen.
The Zhou family is really shameless in using their own fine grains to make trouble. Now, every unemployed person has to buy a ration of 24 kilograms of grain with coupons every month, while those who work can only buy 30 kilograms. The ratio of fine grain to coarse grain they receive is 3:7.
Pick up the chopsticks and eat directly, waiting for the Zhou family's good show to begin.
Seeing that Lin Weiwan did not refuse her, Zhou's mother also picked up the bowl and started eating. She was indeed hungry after spending the whole morning preparing the meal.
The table was quiet and the meal was halfway through when Zhou's mother began to sob and her mood changed a little.
Zhou Rongrong quickly put down her chopsticks and took out a handkerchief to wipe her mother's tears. "Mom, don't be sad. Fourth brother's matter is still certain. Let's go to a few more hospitals. There must be hope."
Zhou Weibei looked at the half-full bowl of rice with a frown, put down his chopsticks, glanced at Lin Weiwan secretly, stood up and walked to Zhou's mother.
"Mom, don't cry. Look, I'm fine now. Even if the results of this examination are not good, I don't feel bad. Our family is together and we have Xiaowan back. You should be happy."
Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou also put down their bowls and chopsticks and looked at each other with sad faces.
Lin Weiwan continued to take a bite of the dish, then put the last mouthful of rice in the bowl into her mouth and chewed it slowly.
Seeing that Lin Weiwan showed no reaction, the mother at the side was willing to continue the performance. No matter how good the show was, it would be boring to just sing.
Seeing Lin Weiwan's indifferent look, Mrs. Zhou was furious and slammed the table vigorously.
"Your mother cried like this, and you still tried to persuade her. I have never seen a daughter like you behave like this."
Lin Weiwan swallowed the food in his mouth, took out his finger and wiped the corner of his mouth, then looked at his mother who was snuggling with him on his left.
"She has never been raised. She has been brought up by Grandpa Lin all these years. Naturally, she will act like a daughter. Take your time. Don't rush."
"Mom, don't be too sad. Zhou Weibei's illness has been getting worse. Let's go back and find a good hospital for treatment." Lin Weiwan's gaze shifted from Zhou's mother's face to the black jade beads hanging on Zhou Rongrong's neck.
"Hey...still..." Zhou's mother's heart moved, and finally she answered the call. What a jerk, he was walking with a limp.
"Is this my necklace? Why is it hanging around your neck?" Lin Weiwan directly interrupted what Zhou's mother had prepared, staring at the black jade beads on Zhou Rongrong's neck and said.
Just now in the bedroom, Lin Weiwan found her neck empty, and then she remembered that after the first day of recognition, Zhou's mother found an excuse to take the black jade bead necklace away and never returned it to Lin Weiwan.
It was not until after his death that he discovered that Zhou Rongrong had been using her black jade beads to collect things, like a magic trick.
After hearing what Lin Weiwan said, Zhou Rongrong subconsciously hid behind Zhou's mother.
Zhou Rongrong liked the black jade beads that Lin Weiwan wore since she was assigned to the same class as him in high school. Even though she hated Lin Weiwan in her heart, she still tried to make friends with him, hoping that he would give her the necklace.
I finally begged for it from Zhou's mother yesterday and brought it directly. I felt so happy that I even slept very well. I felt much better when I woke up this morning.
