After learning how to brew wine, Lin Qing returned to the space and started his own winemaking business. He bought ten extra-large glass jars from Taobao Mall, which were specially made for brewing wine. Each jar could hold 50 jin (25 catties) of wine.
Lin Qing brewed peach wine, apple wine, strawberry wine, lychee wine, and grape wine. Actually, what Lin Qing wanted most was dragon fruit wine. Wine made from red dragon fruit was especially beautiful. Lin Qing had tasted it once before and liked it very much. However, dragon fruit had not yet been grown in the orchard, which made Lin Qing a little disappointed.
After brewing the wine, Lin Qing looked at the five glass jars in front of her with great joy, looking forward to drinking the delicious fruit wine a few months later.
After finishing everything in the space, Lin Qing checked the progress bar. The progress bar for leveling up from level 5 to level 6 was only halfway there. It seemed that the experience required to level up to level 6 was more than twice that required to level up to level 5.
"System check-in!"
"Ding... Congratulations, host, you have signed in and received 100 yuan. Please confirm whether you wish to claim it."
"receive!"
"System check-in!"
"Ding... Congratulations, host, for signing in. You will receive a five-inch cake. Would you like to claim it?"
"receive!"
"System check-in!"
"Ding... Congratulations, host, you have signed in and received two pounds of oranges. Would you like to claim them?"
"receive!"
"System check-in..."
"System check-in..."
"..."
After signing in, Lin Qing received a total of 300 RMB, a 5-inch cake, two jin of oranges, 10 packs of instant noodles, 5 jin of pork, 20 eggs, 10 jin of wheat flour, two jin of handmade rice crackers, one jin of lard candy, five packs of Mimi shrimp chips, six packs of Maltesers, 10 glass marbles, five popsicles, one pear sapling, two banana saplings, and two cherry saplings.
Lin Qing was a little disappointed that she hadn't signed for the dragon fruit sapling she wanted, but it didn't matter. Looking at the remaining monthly and quarterly contracts, Lin Qing asked, "Brother Nanxun, are you done washing up?"
"Almost done, baby, is something wrong?" Gu Nanxun's voice came from the bathroom, still a little hoarse.
"No rush, take your time washing."
Even though Lin Qing said there was no rush, Gu Nanxun still sped up his washing up.
"Brother Nanxing, come quickly. You're in charge of signing the remaining one-month and one-quarter contracts."
"good!"
Gu Nanxun dried his hair, walked to the sofa, sat down next to Lin Qing, and hugged her.
"System check-in!"
"Ding... Congratulations, Master, you have signed in and received a Reversal Pill. Would you like to claim it?"
"receive!"
"Hui Su Dan, Nan Xun, you've finally checked in again!"
Upon hearing about the Rejuvenation Pill, Lin Qing couldn't help but get excited. She had finally gotten another Rejuvenation Pill! She wondered if Nan Xun's memories would be restored this time, and which part he would remember!
Gu Nanxun was also a little surprised. He had stopped thinking about regaining his memories during this period, but he didn't expect to suddenly sign in for the Rejuvenation Pill today. He couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"Brother Nanxun, don't be afraid. It's okay if you can't remember. We have plenty of time. Even if you can't remember in the end, it's alright. We're happy now."
Lin Qing noticed that Gu Nanxun seemed a little nervous, so she reached out and hugged him to comfort him.
"Don't worry, baby, I'm not scared, just a little nervous. I just really want to think about my past with you."
"Actually, our past time together was very short. I grew up in an orphanage, while you came to the orphanage at the age of 5 and left at the age of 11. All we did was spend 6 years together. Moreover, I was too young to remember the first few years of those 6 years, so in my memory, we were together for only about three years. So it doesn't really matter whether I remember it or not."
"But I want to remember, I want to know about my past with my baby, and I also want to know how cute my baby was when he was little."
"Okay, then I'll pray for Brother Nanxun. He'll definitely remember this time."
"Okay, thank you, baby." Gu Nanxun put Lin Qing aside, moved to the single sofa next to him, and then put the Reversal Pill into his mouth without hesitation.
After Gu Nanxun took the Reversal Pill, he felt a surge of heat in his heart, followed by a flood of unfamiliar images in his mind.
He saw a little girl sitting alone in a corner, crying. He went over to her, gently stroked her head, and told her not to cry.
He then saw a little girl lying in her crib, crying incessantly. He sat beside her and patiently comforted her.
He saw a little girl being bullied by other children at the kindergarten, so he rushed over to help her fight and was reprimanded by the kindergarten's mother.
Then, he saw himself playing and learning with the little girl, and his heart was filled with warmth.
Then he saw himself being knocked unconscious, forcibly taken away from the kindergarten, and brought back to that cold, desolate home. His father had never had a son, which was why he was brought back. His father's wife was two-faced and often abused him behind his back, but he disdained to complain. Finally, because his father's wife was pregnant and it turned out to be a boy, he was forcibly sent abroad.
He remembered how much he hated himself during that time; he hated his own powerlessness; he hated that he couldn't escape the punishment and constraints imposed by those people.
"..."
As the memory ended, tears welled in Gu Nanxun's eyes. He hugged Lin Qing tightly, as if afraid she would disappear.
“I remember now, baby, I remember everything,” Gu Nanxun said, his voice slightly choked with emotion.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qing couldn't help but shed tears of excitement. "That's wonderful, Brother Nanxun, you finally remembered."
The two embraced and wept, sharing their feelings. Gu Nanxun recounted every detail he remembered, while Lin Qing listened quietly, occasionally interjecting a sentence that helped him recall the past moments more clearly.
Occasionally, Gu Nanxun would talk about things that happened after he left, but he always said that he was doing well and never mentioned the abuse he suffered at home from his stepmother. He didn't tell Lin Qing about the things she did behind his back, such as pinching him hard with her nails, not feeding him, and locking him in a dark room at the drop of a hat. He couldn't bear to see his baby suffer for him.
But even if Gu Nanxun didn't tell, how could Lin Qing not know? If her Nanxun brother was doing well, how could she not go to see him? What Gu Nanxun didn't know was that although he didn't tell Lin Qing those things, he talked about them a lot at Lin Qing's grave.
