But then she started to worry again.
I am worried that my uncle's family will repeat the same mistakes as in the previous life, and that some of the four members of the family will die or become disabled.
Yun Qiao didn’t know what happened in his previous life.
It was the autumn of 1972. She had just graduated from medical school when she suddenly received a telegram from the Northeast announcing a death. She traveled all the way to the Great Northern Wilderness in a daze.
But when she arrived, her uncle Ye Yuanzhang had already been imprisoned in another labor camp for stabbing someone, and her aunt Baiqiu and cousin Yuanqing had turned into a handful of light ashes and were placed in a small black jar.
My little cousin Kang Ning, who was only about ten years old, looked terrified, but she had no idea what had happened at home.
When Yun Qiao asked her, she only remembered that her father was sent to the mountains to blast rocks during that time and had not been home for a long time.
My younger brother was ill for a few days. One night, he suddenly passed away. My mother went out to look for help but it took a long time for her to come back and she couldn't find anyone. By the time she took my brother to the hospital the next morning, it was too late.
One day later, my mother was carried out of the house covered in blood and sent to the hospital, but like my brother, she did not come out alive.
Later, my father was also captured by the militia who suddenly broke into our house.
Most of the time, they just don't know anything.
Who did Dad hurt? Or why? She had no idea.
Yun Qiao found a way to meet her uncle, but her uncle didn't let her get involved and didn't tell her anything.
He only told her to take the ashes to Hangzhou and send the ashes and her cousin Kang Ning to her aunt Bai Qiu's parents' home.
Yun Qiao felt heartbroken whenever he thought about these tragic past events.
In fact, she had been to this yard in her previous life, but she was so nervous at that time that she didn't look at it carefully. Now, she found that every corner had been carefully maintained.
Bai Qiu, who was wearing a bulky grey cotton-padded jacket, came out of the house upon hearing the voices. When she saw Yun Qiao, a genuine smile immediately appeared on her face: "Qiao Qiao! Ting Jun! I've been looking forward to seeing you for a few days, and you're finally here!"
She called out to her daughter Kang Ning, "Ning Ning, come out quickly! Your Uncle He and your sister Qiao Qiao are here. Run fast! Go to the mountain and call your father over!"
"I know, Mom." Kang Ning responded and ran out. Yun Qiao's eyes were red and he only had time to see her back.
Bai Qiu then warmly invited them into the house: "Tingjun, Qiaoqiao, come on, come in! It's cold outside!"
But the next second, she was hugged by Yun Qiao who quickly rushed over to her.
Seeing the relatives who had passed away and whom he thought he would never see again, Yun Qiao's eyes became hot and tears fell uncontrollably.
"Aunt, I miss you."
Yun Qiao hugged Bai Qiu's waist tightly, feeling the warmth coming from her body, and then he had a real feeling of regaining what he had lost.
She was finally able to confirm that her little aunt was really alive and standing in front of her.
It is no longer a handful of light ashes, nor a jar that is cold to the touch, but a real person who can talk and laugh, with flesh and blood and warmth.
Yun Qiao tried her best to suppress her emotions, but the more she tried to suppress them, the more she couldn't help herself, so she finally burst into tears: "Auntie, Auntie, I miss you so much. I thought I would never see you again."
"Qiao Qiao, auntie misses you too." Bai Qiu gently stroked her hair and soothed her softly.
"That's enough, Qiao Qiao, don't cry anymore. We've all seen each other. Now that you've come to the Northeast, our family will be closer and we can see each other whenever we want."
"Wipe your tears and stop crying, dear. The wind will make your face chapped." Bai Qiu took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears gently, as if he was protecting a treasure.
