"Are you daydreaming again?"
An old man with completely white hair and beard sat in front of a young girl. The girl's eyes were dull and her face was expressionless, as if she had lost her soul.
"You've been like this since I picked you up. Why don't you just smile at your master?"
The old man sighed, "Is it easy for me to raise you to this age?"
"You've never called me Master."
The girl raised her face, her eyes could reflect things, but they were devoid of all emotions.
The old man stretched out his hand and placed it on her hair. "People like you shouldn't come down the mountain. It's better not to dwell on the troubles outside. Just live a clean life and die a clean death."
The girl still stared at the old man blankly, then lowered her head and sat there quietly again.
In fact, no one knew that it was not because she had lost one of her three souls or one of her nine orifices, but because she was unable to accept the truth.
Until she opened her eyes again, she heard the chaotic sounds outside and smelled the aroma of fried meat.
Someone is roasting meat, it smells so delicious.
She sat up, covering her face, and when she put her hands down, her eyes were red, and the corners of her lips suddenly curved up, and there was a sudden brilliance in her calm eyes. After the brilliance passed, it finally turned into a kind of silence.
She knew that she was reborn.
She was reborn half a year after she left the Xu family. No, before that, she had another life in which she was the child picked up by the old man, and she was the one who was unable to let go.
She couldn't come to terms with her mother's death, her own stupidity, and even more so, the Xu family's deception, coaxing, and bullying of her for more than a decade. Even if she could live several more lives, she wouldn't want to do that. She just wanted to be Liu Liang.
And now…
She clenched her hands.
That clear temperature and everything around her were proving it to her.
She is back.
Come back to be Liu Liang, come back to make up for your mistakes, come back to avenge the bullying.
Not far away, a schoolbag was lying on the ground. She walked over and picked up the schoolbag. It was the one she brought back from Xu's house. No, it cannot be said that she brought it back from Xu's house. Rather, the Xu family threw it back together with her.
The Xu family also doesn’t want it.
She was like garbage, thrown away once, and thrown away a second time.
Even if it wasn't a person, but a kitten or puppy, after more than ten years of companionship, there would always be some feelings. However, the Xu family had nothing for her.
And what was she thinking at this moment in her previous life?
Thinking about whether the Xu family would be reluctant to let her go and would take her back, and then she would be the rich eldest daughter of the Xu family, or trust those people in the Xu family and treat her as a member of the Xu family. She would be reluctant to let go of the care she had been given over the years, and would also be reluctant to let go of the time she had spent with them.
But later, she realized that in the eyes of the Xu family, she was nothing. She was just a clown, a servant who didn't ask for money.
Even servants were paid, but she did all kinds of work and didn't get a penny for more than ten years. It was not until later that she found out that her tuition was paid by her biological mother.
Perhaps there was something that prevented her from being ashamed to death, that was that she was afraid of being kicked out of the Xu family, so she gave up her spending habits and didn't dare to buy anything. She only wore clothes that Xu Jiajia didn't want, and the same went for shoes. It was because she was so thrifty that she didn't let her mother sell her blood and her life for money.
This is why she always wanted to go back to the Xu family. Even if she had to work like a slave or become a beggar in this life, she would never want to go back to the Xu family's place, to meet the hypocritical people in the Xu family, and face those hypocritical faces.
She took out the money from her schoolbag, and the memories of the two lives merged. She found that her current memory seemed to be clearer than the initial one. Maybe she still forgot too much, but everyone was a human being for the first time, and no one knew what would happen tomorrow, so she would think slowly and remember bit by bit.
She put the money in order, took some and put it in her pocket, then opened the door and walked out.
As soon as the door was opened, the aroma of food outside hit her in the face. She couldn't help swallowing. After a nap, she felt very hungry. The dumplings she had eaten at noon had long been digested.
"Jingjing, are you going out?"
When the old woman saw Liu Liang, she smiled and greeted her again.
Liu Liang still couldn't remember what the old woman's surname was. It seemed to be Wang, but also seemed to be Zhu.
In the end, she could only force a smile.
"Hello, mother-in-law. I'm going out to buy some vegetables."
The old woman was stunned, as if she was still unable to react. When she came to her senses, Liu Jing had already walked away.
"This child, why did he change his temper?"
She muttered to herself, then shook her head and continued cooking on the stove by the door.
Besides, Liu Liang, who had changed her personality, had found the place where vegetables were sold according to her memory. It was not that her memory was accurate, but because there was only one vegetable market here, and it was not far from the tube building. People who got off work were carrying some vegetables in their hands, and some people came out of the alley, so Liu Liang guessed that the vegetable market was there.
When she arrived, she really guessed it right.
She was walking in the vegetable market. In the vegetable market of the 1990s, even the scales were the earliest ones, and there were no electronic scales. At this time, there were quite a few people in the vegetable market, and they were all wearing clothes unique to that era, no big flowers or greens, no colorful clothes. Most of the women had no makeup on, not the colorful ones of the future, but plain, just like the weather now, no haze, and no sandstorms.
She walked around, listened to other people's bargaining when buying things, and memorized the current vegetable prices. She was still worried that she didn't have enough money, but she found that the prices of the vegetables were much cheaper than she had imagined, and many of them were calculated in cents.
Compared to the high prices of vegetables in the future, the prices of vegetables at this time are really too good, and they are all pollution-free and pesticide-free.
When she came out of the vegetable market, she was holding things in both hands. She walked back to the tube building. The old woman was not there, and she was relieved because she really didn't know how to greet her. As for the other people, they pretended not to see her when they saw her. She vaguely remembered that she was not familiar with the people in the tube building. Moreover, half a year after she came here, she went to the Xu family. The only person she remembered was the old woman. She couldn't even remember the appearance of the others.
Moreover, she was still dreaming of being the eldest daughter of the Xu family, and she looked down on the poor people living in the tube-shaped building, thinking that they were inferior people, and that she was the only one who was superior, and different from others.
Only later did she find out.
She is no different. She is also a human being, a person like dust who needs to live, eat, drink, defecate and urinate.
Sure enough, the other people in the tube ignored her. When she left, no one looked at her, and when she came back, no one asked her a single question.
This shows how much everyone hates her.
