She can't stand the life of hunger! So she must make this family rich. Only this way, may her life have a little motivation.
Hearing Mrs. Zhang said that she fell off the cliff and broke her leg. Thanks to Uncle Lu, it was slipped back into position. He repeatedly reminded her to stay in bed for three months before she can get on her feet.
She obediently laid on the bed for a month. Although she broke her leg, she felt that there was no problem with her body now.
She was shocked when she secretly fetched water behind the mother and daughter's back from the well the day before yesterday. Because she found from the reflection in the well that this body was exactly the same as she was when she was a child! And the plum blossom-shaped red birthmark, a little smaller than her thumb, on her forehead has followed her since she was born. Later, she heard Zhang said that she had no red birthmark before. Since she fell off the cliff, she had this plum blossom birthmark on her forehead.
At that time, Mrs. Zhang was terrified. Fearing that her daughter was possessed by a ghost, she quickly invited the witch. After the witch did the trick, she worried that her daughter wouldn't be able to marry due to disfigurement.
The only thing that made Mrs. Zhang's mind at peace was that the birthmark was small and a plum blossom shape at the front of the forehead. Carefully inspecting, it was a little more gorgeous than before and added a little color. Only then was Mrs. Zhang at ease.
What surprised Jiang Xiao Yue the most was that the backpack she carried with her when she had an accident also followed her here. Wasn’t she reborn? Why did things from the previous life come along? This defied science!
"Elder Sister, what are you thinking?" Qing He's intentionally raised voice suddenly rang in her ears. This caused her body to shake from fright.
Jiang Xiao Yue had a gloomy expression and pretended to be furious.
Initially, Qing He just wanted to scare her elder sister, but she didn't expect to anger her. When she saw the gloomy look of her elder sister, she couldn't help but feel aggrieved. Her eyes immediately turned red, like the eyes of a little rabbit. An appearance expressing she will cry for her to see if she kept on being angry.
Watching the little comedian in front of her, Jiang Xiao Yue couldn't hold it anymore and burst into laughter, "You lass, you been tricked by your sister again. Alright then, you can put away your tears. elder sister isn't angry"
Qing He, who was about to cry, suddenly laughed and pridefully pointed out: "Elder Sister, you have been fooled by me again"
After finishing, she was afraid that Jiang Xiao Yue would catch and spank her, so she sprinted back to the stove.
Jiang Xiao Yue exchanged a helpless glance with Mrs. Zhang, who was washing the vegetables in front of the stove, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
The trio chatted and laughed. Before long, the meal was ready.
Mrs. Zhang originally wanted Jiang Xiao Yue to eat as rest she rest on the bed. But unable to persuade Jiang Xiao Yue, she could only let her join them eating on the table.
On the shabby wooden table was only a shabby green porcelain bowl filled with a bowl of boiled vine and wild vegetables.
Qing He brought over three small bowls. One contained brown rice congee, while the other two contained rice soup.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiao Yue's eyes couldn't resist tearing up. She had meals in bed all this month. Every meal had brown rice congee. At that time, she thought that they were only eating brown rice because they were too poor. But she never thought ... Qing He duo actually ate rice soup ...
Qing He has always been careless. She didn't notice there was something amiss with Jiang Xiao Yue. While attentive Mrs. Zhang did.
Mrs. Zhang's callous hand rubbed Jiang Xiao Yue's hair bun and said softly: "Child, eat well so you can get better. Only then you can help Mother with work ah."
Jiang Xiao Yue nodded gently, picked up the chopsticks, and started to eat. But her heart was oddly uncomfortable.
Although she was not the real Qing Yue and Mrs. Zhang and Qing He weren't her real family, but Mrs. Zhang’s attentive care and health inquiring and Qing He’s lively cuteness and sensibility at an early age were imprinted into her heart.
They were so good to her, that she was at a loss. She didn't know how to return the favor.
From this moment on, she accepted the reality in front of her. She accepted this family and will treat them like family. From now on, this was her family. Mrs. Zhang was her mother. Qing He was her sister. She was the eldest daughter of this family, and everything in the family will be closely related to her in the future. She should also bear the responsibility.
In the broken porcelain bowl, there were a handful of rice grains made from brown rice. Most of it was water. To be honest, she has never had such a congee before. She didn't feel disgusted at all, instead, she was filled with joy.
The three of them ate together. Qing He enthusiastically put the vine in her bowl. Mrs. Zhang also enthusiastically served food to the two sisters. This atmosphere made her remember her grandpa again.
Every time she ate at home, Grandpa always instructed Aunt Zhao to buy this and that, as if wanting to let her try the best food in the world.
Thinking of this, her eyes couldn't help but water. Grandpa ... afraid she would never see him again in the future ... Thinking of him staying on earth alone without anyone caring for him, her heart was in pain ... What should she do ... …
"This child, how come you also be in a daze when eating? Quickly eat, or you will have a stomachache when the food is cold in a while." Mrs.Zhang gently touched Jiang Xiao Yue's hand, who was immersed in her memory.
Jiang Xiao Yue recovered. Embarrassed, she opened her mouth and moved her chopsticks to eat.
This was a rural area, so there were no rules like those in the city. One doesn’t need to eat small bites. So Mrs. Zhang did not say anything.
Sending some vine and vegetables into her mouth, Qing He raised her head and smilingly said to Jiang Xiao Yue: "Elder sister, I heard Li Shenzi in the village said that if you hurt your bones, you must eat bone soup to get better. I'll go to the field after eating and try my luck. Let's see if I can catch a pheasant to make soup to nourish you
Jiang Xiao Yue's heart warmed up. She placed some vegetables in Qing He's bowl. "The sky is dark. Do you want to be swallowed by jackal or wolves?"
Hearing this, Qing He wasn't deterred. She put the chopsticks on the table and flocked to Jiang Xiao Yue. She begged coaxingly, "Elder sister, let me go. Last time I was fine."
Although there were occasional beasts in the village at night, as long as one has experience doing it, they generally don't encounter them.
Seeing Qing He acting cute, Jiang Xiao Yue' slightly raised the corners of her mouth. She was about to speak, but Zhang took to it first.
"No! Lass, Mother knows you well. I'm afraid you got egged Zhao family's boy again."
Qing He rubbed her head in embarrassment, "Brother Zhao originally wanted to catch wild animals for elder sister. I insisted on following them. I thought if I went, then we'll catch more."
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhang sighed, "That Zhao family's child has good heart. That's Zhao family's ... oh"
Who was that Zhao family's kid? What was his relationship with Qing Yue? Why catch wild game for her? No one came over for patient visitation this whole month. Jiang Xiao Yue couldn't help looking at Qing He with curiosity.
