V1.Chapter 4

On the second day of the lunar new year, the two aunts went back to their hometown to pay New Year's greetings.

As soon as you enter the door, it is naturally a new year's greeting, and then the lucky money that children look forward to most during the new year. Although ordinary families don't earn much these days, they have fun during the new year. The new year's money is nominally given to their children, but many parents will finally take the money back from their children. In the final analysis, it's just that relatives exchange money with each other. There's no loss. So at this time, adults don't care about being generous.

Xia Shao smiled and took the 200 yuan lucky money stuffed by her sister-in-law Xia Zhilan. She thanked her sweetly, "thank you, aunt!"

Xia Zhilan smiled and pinched Xia Shao's face, with a spoiled smile in her eyes. "Look at our Shao Zi. It's white, tender and lovely! In a few years, she must be a quiet lady. Unlike my family, she knows all day long that she's in the wild, sunburned and like a tomboy!"

Xia Shao has a black line in her heart. She is nearly thirty years old and has been pinched on her cheek. This feeling is really... Very strange! But she quickly stopped thinking and looked aside.

The mother also gave the lucky money to her cousin Zhang Ruman, smiled and said, "what are you talking about? What's wrong with our Maman? How much like her father! Military style, maybe a female officer when you grow up!"

My little Uncle Zhang Qixiang is an officer in active service and a cadre at the company level. He always has a soldier's iron nature in dealing with people. Under his influence, his daughter's temperament has been wild since childhood. It is common to fight with boys. Everyone says she is a boy.

Seeing her daughter praised, my sister-in-law Xia zhilangton smiled and looked at her daughter.

Xia Zhimei, the eldest sister-in-law on the side, took a dark look at it and said plainly that the relationship between your two families is good!

Xia Shao's mother Li Juan and Xia Zhilan are employees of a factory in the city. Their relationship is really good. But Xia Zhilan is softer than Li Juan. To put it bluntly, she doesn't have much independent opinion, but she is really kind.

Speaking of it, Xia Shao's parents realized that love was the red line led by Xia Zhilan! She is the matchmaker of this marriage, so not only the relationship between the two families has been very good, but also the relationship between Xia Shao and cousin Zhang Ruman is better than their own sisters!

Zhang Ruman is only one year younger than Xia Shao. Their temperament is also very different, but strangely, they are very good! Even if I work later and can't be together from time to time, I often talk on the phone.

In contrast, aunt Xia Zhimei's family is more alienated in Xia Shao's memory.

Not to mention anything else, we can see from the new year's gift money for children.

Aunt Xia Zhimei said reluctantly, "sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I didn't tell you. How many times have I told you every year? Why don't you listen? This should not be advocated for giving children new year's money! At a young age, you will come to the new year's money after a new year. What can you do when you see such a little money in your eyes? What can you do when you grow up!"

Xia Zhimei is a teacher in No. 1 middle school in the city. In these days, the occupation of high school teachers is an iron rice bowl and has culture. Others envy her very much. Her speech is also a consistent style of teaching students. The family has to listen to her lectures every year for the new year, so they are used to it.

Seeing that she was about to start again, Li Juan and Xia Zhilan winked at their daughters and asked the children to play first.

"Sister! Let's go out and set off firecrackers and make a snowman." Zhang Ruman was impatient for a long time. Seeing his mother's eyes, he rushed over immediately and ran to the yard with Xia Shao.

Xia Shao was pulled to run and smiled bitterly in her heart. I didn't feel like it when I was a child. Now I'm taken out by a child. She really has some black lines.

Watching her childhood cousin boldly set off firecrackers in the yard and ran to the snowbank to rub snowballs, Xia Shao suddenly felt that she was in a very distant time and space.

Yes, it's an unreal, distant feeling.

At this time, her cousin would not know that her father changed jobs when she went home in high school. After that, her assigned work was not satisfactory, and her family conditions were getting worse year by year. Finally, she had to work elsewhere when she was middle-aged. Even if she was born in the army, her physical quality has always been good, and she was tired of unloading and loading goods every day. My sister-in-law Xia Zhilan finally left the depressed factory and went out to work with her husband in order to make more money for her to study as a graduate student at Capital University. However, her cousin finally failed to enter the diplomatic college she dreamed of, so she chose the law department. Although it seems good to outsiders, she is always depressed and frustrated. What's more, because she has a boyish temperament since childhood and hasn't been in love since she was twenty-five or six. All the boys she likes don't call her, which makes her often call Xia Shao to spit bitter water.

Thinking of these memories of previous lives, Xia Shao looked at the cold and bleak sky in the new spring of 1992, looked down at his hands and feet, and smiled slowly. I feel that the carefree era of childhood is really beautiful. And she really feels good to live her childhood again.

But at this time, she can't really become carefree because she has an adult soul. She has a lot of things to do and a destiny that needs to be changed urgently! Not only her, but also her cherished relatives!

It was not until noon that Xia Shao returned to the house with his cousin Zhang Ruman.

Grandparents and a large family of four children sat on the warm Kang. The children were not interested in the banquet. The only thing they thought of was eating. It was not easy to eat those chicken, duck and fish.

In order not to be too mature, Xia Shao also took some dishes into the bowl. She just ate slowly and paid attention to the topics of her elders while eating. Men are nothing more than work and business. Women are always talking about children, food and clothing.

At this time, my aunt Xia Zhimei said, "sister-in-law, what clothes are you wearing? Isn't it too red? Your skin color is dark and it's not suitable to wear red."

As soon as Li Juan heard this, her face was a little embarrassed. She smiled and said, "big sister, I like to wear red. It's a happy occasion for the new year. If I don't wear it at this time, it's more beautiful to wear it at ordinary times."

Xia Zhilan looked at her second sister, but she didn't dare to speak. Jiang Qiulin smiled, glanced at Li Juan's clothes and didn't speak. The meaning of watching the play was obvious.

"You can't wear bright red. You look so dark and rustic. Anyway, you are also a person who works in the city. You should pay attention to the color of clothes." Xia Zhimei usually teaches in high school. She is used to teaching people. Basically, she doesn't give up until the people who have to say nothing.

Finally, grandma couldn't see it. She coughed and said, "OK, OK, it's just a dress. As for it? It's the new year's Eve! Eat."

Xia Zhimei just skimmed her lips. She didn't want to annoy the old man during the new year, so she exposed the matter and didn't mention it again.

Xia Shao, who listened silently, was bitter in her heart. The time when my mother was born was particularly bitter. At that time, the country was still in turmoil, and I couldn't eat enough and wear warm clothes. The clothes her mother wore when she was a child were changed by her sister. It is difficult to wear a new dress. She likes bright colored clothes, but she is shy in her gentle nature. She is afraid to wear them at ordinary times for fear of being laughed at by others. Therefore, only during the new year, she wore her favorite color. That's how she was used by her aunt to run in front of the whole family.

Xia Shao's inner indignation was unspeakable, but his face was faint, and a firm light had already flashed from the bottom of his eyes. In this life, she will never let her mother suffer this injustice again!

At this time, the father opened his mouth. He looked at his sister Xia Zhimei and said with a smile: "what the eldest sister said is also right. The one with black skin and red is really not good-looking. But I like to see your sister-in-law wear red. I think it's very good."

Li Juan's face turned red and her eyes were moved.

Xia Shao took a mouthful of food and smiled. It was not until a while later that she raised her eyes and looked at her aunt Xia Zhimei and uncle Liu Chunhui.

Their family started with an oil processing plant, and later set up factories to help some domestic brand automobile companies produce accessories. Before Xia Shao's rebirth, their family had set up branches in the three first tier cities in the province, with many real estate under their name, which can be regarded as a famous family in the city.

Cousin Liu Yuguang made some money by doing business at home. When he went to school, changing his girlfriend was like changing clothes. Later, he got married. His wife was the host of Dongshi TV station, and his father-in-law was the vice mayor of Dongshi. The family's vision is high. The relatives and sisters in law of the Xia family don't look up to it at all. They usually talk high and obviously despise it.

Although Xia Shao knows that people are creatures of desire, and everyone is eager to stand higher than anyone and be looked up to and respected by others, he really can't feel good about those who get the momentum and step on their relatives first, let alone respect.

The economic conditions of the four children born to grandparents are good, but unfortunately, both of them are not very filial.

When grandma was seriously ill, her children should take turns to take care of her. Xia Shao's mother, Li Juan, took the old man home without saying a word and took care of him all the time. As a daughter, her aunt only came to see him twice, brought some things, chatted for a while and left. Until her grandmother died, she didn't receive a day's care from her daughter.

Xia Shao lowered his eyes and the corners of his mouth were slightly cold. As the saying goes, people are doing, heaven is watching, Feng Shui turns in turn! It's a pity that she is reborn now. She didn't see Xia Zhimei's family in her last life. Will it really be the last?

She stared at Liu Chunhui and Xia Zhimei, and felt sorry for her grandmother.

But at this time, something that shocked Xia Shao happened.

A series of pictures suddenly appeared in her mind!

It was night, and half the sky was red with a raging fire. The scene was very messy. There were running and fire fighting figures everywhere, and the place on fire looked like a company's production line.

Then, she saw a pudgy figure, grabbed the water pipe in the fireman's hand, and rushed to fight the fire by herself. The man's appearance was clearly Xia Shao's great uncle Liu Chunhui!

After that, the picture turned again. At this time, uncle Liu Chunhui and aunt Xia Zhimei visited house to house together. Their old proud look was completely gone. It seemed that they were humbly asking for something. At this time, my uncle had white hair on his temples and suddenly became an old man!

Then, there was a constant quarrel between my cousin and my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law slammed the door and left with her child in her arms.

Xia Shao opened her eyes and was shocked to look at these pictures. The pictures were real as if they were vivid. Finally, she felt someone pushing her.

Those pictures immediately dispersed. Xia Shao turned his head and saw his mother looking at him strangely. "You child, don't eat vegetables. What do you watch your aunt and uncle do?" he said while holding a piece of fish in her bowl, "eat quickly."

Xia Shao nodded, holding the bowl and dropping her eyes, but her heart kept jumping wildly.

What did she see just now?
