There are only a few months left.
Yu Qiuying was determined to save Lin Jiaojiao from that car accident in her lifetime, and she checked the calendar every day.
But she never expected that before she could even go to find Lin Jiaojiao, Lin Jiaojiao would come to find her first.
That afternoon, she received a call from the food stall, saying that someone was looking for her.
On her way to the food stall, she was thinking that everyone she knew here had her phone number, and if they needed to contact her, they would probably call her directly.
Who could be looking for her?
When she arrived at the food stall, she saw an unexpected person.
Yu Qiuying could hardly believe her eyes and blurted out, "Jiaojiao?!"
Lin Jiaojiao was also stunned, her eyes widening from shock to disbelief, "You, you also..."
Her eyes stung, and tears welled up in her eyes.
With a mixture of surprise and doubt, she walked step by step toward Yu Qiuying and cautiously asked, "Grandma Yu, is that you?"
Upon hearing the long-unheard "Grandma Yu," Yu Qiuying's eyes instantly welled up with tears. "You, you too..."
The two stared at each other excitedly. In that instant, it was as if time and space had been warped, and they had returned to a past life...
"Grandma Yu..." Lin Jiaojiao suddenly rushed into Yu Qiuying's arms, hugged her tightly, and cried tears of joy.
People around them kept glancing at them.
Yu Qiuying hugged the girl in her arms, calmed herself down a little, and said in a low voice, "Jiaojiao, let's find a place to sit down and talk."
The two found a teahouse nearby. At this time of day, the teahouse was not crowded. Yu Qiuying ordered a pot of tea, and the two sat down in a corner.
Lin Jiaojiao was still in a daze; she was so shocked and couldn't believe it.
Yu Qiuying spoke first, "Jiaojiao, when did you get back?"
When she says "come back," she means "reborn."
Lin Jiaojiao naturally understood.
She took a deep breath, and tears welled up in her eyes again. "I... I don't know what happened. One night last month, I suddenly had more memories. At first, I wasn't sure if it was a dream, but after I had someone find your information and send someone to your hometown to look for you and find out about you, I was sure that it was all real."
So she came to find Yu Qiuying. She actually got her number, but she didn't dare to call her directly because she didn't know that Yu Qiuying was also reborn. If she called Yu Qiuying directly, Yu Qiuying wouldn't recognize her at all.
That's why she went directly to the food stall to find her.
“I came back in 1995, before you were even born. I was planning to come find you after the New Year to help you avoid that car accident, but I didn’t expect you to come to me first.” Yu Qiuying also found it a bit unbelievable that Lin Jiaojiao had also been reborn, but she was mostly happy.
Then, remembering Lin Jiaojiao's suicide attempt in her past life, her eyes reddened again. "You silly girl, you really made me sad for a long time back then."
"I'm sorry, Grandma Yu. Back then, I really didn't want to keep going. I tried my best to endure it for five years, but I wasn't happy at all. If it weren't for you being there for me, I would have wanted to be free long ago..." Lin Jiaojiao recalled the vivid scenes in her dream. The feeling of torment was so clear, as if it had happened just yesterday.
Having lost both legs and abandoned by her parents, she went from being a privileged young woman to a disabled person who was either ridiculed or pitied. She endured that kind of pain for five years...
As Lin Jiaojiao recalled those events, her emotions became somewhat overwhelming again.
It took them a while to calm down completely, and then they smiled at each other, instantly bringing back the close feeling of being together day and night.
Yu Qiuying took a sip of tea and said to Lin Jiaojiao, "Actually, I've been to your neighborhood several times. My youngest son and daughter-in-law live there."
Lin Jiaojiao's home is in the same neighborhood as Zhou Jiahong and Ye Yuan. Yu Qiuying did go there a few times, but she didn't go to find Lin Jiaojiao. After all, she didn't expect Lin Jiaojiao to be reborn. If she went to find her without Lin Jiaojiao recognizing her, what would she say or do?
All she wanted was to escape that car accident in her life; whether she knew him or not didn't matter.
Lin Jiaojiao understood. After all, she was also very nervous before she came to see Yu Qiuying. She hadn't really thought about what to say or how to talk to Yu Qiuying after they met.
She just really wanted to see her, so she impulsively came to find her.
The two chatted for a while until it was completely dark outside before they went out for a meal together.
During this time, Yu Qiuying saved Lin Jiaojiao's phone number.
After dinner, Yu Qiuying took Lin Jiaojiao back to the Yupin residential area.
In the days that followed, Lin Jiaojiao would visit Yu Qiuying whenever she had time.
Lin Jiaojiao escaped the car accident in her life, but her parents still divorced the year she finished her college entrance exams.
However, Lin Jiaojiao no longer cared about any of that. In this life, she did not lose her legs, and she had a brilliant life that was different from her previous one.
Yu Changfu passed away at the age of eighty-five. He suddenly breathed his last that night, and Yu Qiuying didn't get to see him one last time. But it didn't matter. He passed away peacefully without any illness or pain, with a slight smile on his lips.
Wang Huimei lived to the age of 95. Her bodily functions had deteriorated, and she had a fever for half a month. She couldn't eat anything, but she passed away after a few days without suffering too much.
On Yu Qiuying's 80th birthday, her home was bustling with activity. Everyone was there except for Zhou Caixiang and Zhou Caiping's families.
Yu Qingxiu, Yu Qinghe, and Yu Qingmiao all brought their entire families with them.
It's a pity that Liu Tianhua is no longer here. She passed away a couple of years ago from a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. She was over seventy years old, and she lived several years longer than in her previous life.
"Second Aunt, why are you looking at photos again? Stop looking, or you'll get sad again." Yu Qingmiao saw Yu Qiuying looking at photos on her phone and took the phone away from her.
Zhou Cailian also came over. "Mom, Beibei said she'd go on a trip with us after the New Year. Why don't you come with us?"
Looking at Zhou Cailian's full head of white hair, Yu Qiuying was momentarily stunned. Time really flies; Cailian is already sixty-one...
"Alright, since Beibei rarely has free time, I'll go for a walk with you guys."
"Mom, we'll go with you."
"Mom, I'm going too. I don't have anything else to do, and it's been a long time since I've gone out to play."
When Zhou Jiahong, Ye Yuan, Zhou Jiadong, and Xu Yingying saw that Yu Qiuying had agreed, they exchanged glances and smiled.
They all said they wanted to go together, even though they were all in their forties or fifties, they still kept calling her "Mom."
Yu Qiuying laughed and said, "Why are you all getting involved? You're all old men and women. How can you trouble Beibei to take care of you all by yourself? Let your own children take you. Each of you can take care of your own parents."
The younger generation all secretly laughed.
Yu Qiuying watched this scene and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
In her past life, she died of a heart attack at the age of seventy-four, and there was no one by her side when she died.
She was content with her life.
