Ye Qiao was sure he remembered correctly; the time his adoptive father's leg was touched in his previous life was indeed a month later. Why was there a discrepancy between the time in his previous life and this one?
Then, in this life, will Lu Beixiao's sacrifice come earlier?
Thinking that it might come earlier, she became nervous!
My old home was still a red brick house with no yard. From a distance, I could see several bicycles parked at the door, all 28-inch bicycles, some new and some old. They must be relatives visiting my father.
Looking at the familiar house, the 28-inch bicycle she used to ride as a child, and the khaki dog running towards her from a distance, wagging its tail, Ye Qiao felt a lump in her throat.

"Brother-in-law, you really don't need surgery on your leg. It's painful, expensive, and requires hospitalization! Listen to me, just get acupuncture. One session will cure it! Just a dozen bucks! Li Liu from our village had the same condition as you, and he was cured by acupuncture!"
Qiao Xingmin leaned against the head of the bed, smoking a cigarette.
There were three old men sitting in the room, all smoking their pipes with their heads down. The one who was talking was Ye Qiao's uncle-in-law.
"It only takes one time, just over ten dollars! Really! At your age, recovery from surgery will be slow!" The uncle-in-law added, glancing at Ye Qiao's uncle who was sitting next to him, and the uncle nodded.
"Brother-in-law can go and try. It's not too late to have surgery if it doesn't work. Now is the time to use money. Qiao Tian's matter also requires some money, otherwise he won't be able to get his diploma..." Uncle lowered his head and thought as he spoke.
Qiao Xingmin looked at his swollen calf and sighed in his heart thinking that his son's problem had not been resolved yet.
"Okay, let's try acupuncture tomorrow!" he said in a deep voice.
"Dad!" At this time, a clear voice was heard. The four old men sitting in the room raised their heads and saw a tall and slender figure standing at the door.
Did a fairy suddenly descend to earth?!
The girl in the white shirt was as beautiful as a fairy. She stood there with tears in her eyes.
"Whose girl is this?"
"Uncle..." She called out hoarsely, the corners of her lips curled up. Then, she squeezed into the narrow room and saw her father sitting on the bed. She had left this place at the age of 12 in her previous life and had never seen him again...
Qiao Xingmin felt that she was familiar. When he saw the dimples on the girl's cheeks, his eyes turned red with excitement: "Little Qiao Qiao!"
The word "Xiao Qiaoqiao" made Ye Qiao choke up.
In her previous life, she, an unfilial daughter, had never come back to visit them after leaving her hometown. What was unbearable was that she just didn't want Shen Xichuan to look down on her, so she wanted to cut off all ties with this place!
"Dad, I'm sorry! It took me so long to come back to see you!" She quickly suppressed her sadness and went to the edge of the bed.
Qiao Xingmin was still a little confused. How could the girl who had been gone for six years suddenly come back to see him? In these six years, she hadn't even written a letter. Sometimes he blamed this heartless little girl for not missing them. But then he thought, the girl hadn't had a good life in their family either. What was there to miss?
"Dad! Is it because girls change a lot when they grow up that you can't recognize me?!" Ye Qiao asked with a smile.
Then, he turned around and greeted his uncle, younger uncle-in-law, and second uncle-in-law.
"You little devil!" Qiao Xingmin suddenly said in a deep voice, his tone full of doting.
"dad!"
"You little devil! How did the Ye family support you? You're so thin!" Qiao Xingmin looked up and down at his once beloved little girl and said in a deep voice.
Ye Qiao smiled, "Dad! You're raising pigs. The fatter they are, the more valuable they are!"
This is how children are raised in the village. The one who is plump and white is considered good. In the past, they raised Ye Qiao like a pig, giving her all the delicious food, feeding her until she was plump and white, and they were proud of her.
