Chapter 1

In the yard with golden wheat in the sun, behind him is a row of three Adobe houses painted with white ash, and on the edge is a low stove.

In the distance is a dirt path only about two meters wide. A row of old poplar trees about ten years old are fields full of wheat stubbles.

The cicada's voice is in my ear

Looking back, a woman was playing in the yard with a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old.

Gu qiaoyue smiled bitterly. This is a reflection. Before she died, she saw the person she wanted to see most in her life. The moment before, she found her husband had an affair and was pushed down from the upstairs by her husband and Xiao San. The next moment

Sure enough, he was dead and looked back.

"Mom!"

Gu qiaoyue involuntarily shouted.

As soon as the voice came out, Gu qiaoyue was stunned. The crisp and pleasant voice like an Oriole was not her voice.

"Qiao Yue, are you hungry? I'll cook when mom finishes this."

The woman looked back, wiped the sweat on her head, and went back to work.

The girl on the side turned her head and looked after Qiao Yue discontentedly.

"Sister, you are lazy again. Drink water for so long. You can have a rest after finishing this work quickly."

The girl was clearly her sister. Gu Qiaowan looked like a teenager.

Gu qiaoyue stood stunned and pinched her face.

"Hiss ~"

The pain on his face was clear.

What's going on?

"Puff ~"

Gu Qiaowan turned her head and just saw Gu qiaoyue pinch her face. Her hot face turned red and she smiled happily.

"Mom, I pinch my face. I don't know if I'm stupid."

"This child, how can you say that about your sister? Don't do it if there's only a little left. Go and have a rest in the shade of the tree."

Gu Qiaowan happily threw down the wooden shovel for stirring grain, ran to the shade of the tree, drank water with an enamel jar printed with a five-star red flag, and turned to wink at Gu Qiaowan.

Gu qiaoyue's eyes fell on the enamel jar in her hand, and then looked at the big apricot tree tied to the swing behind her, the walnut tree next to her and a row of persimmon trees.

This is clearly her childhood home.

Suddenly, an idea came into her mind.

be reborn?!

"Now is that year?"

Without waiting for an answer, Gu qiaoyue ran into the house.

Newspapers are pasted on the walls of the house, quilts are neatly stacked on the large earth Kang, and there are red square tables and square wooden boxes that only exist in the memory of childhood.

Gu qiaoyue remembered that there were their mother's clothes.

At the door is a basin rack, on which is an enamel washbasin. Up, there is a perpetual calendar.

Gu qiaoyue walked over with a heavy step and looked at the date on the calendar.

June 30, 1985.

Gu qiaoyue was shocked in her head. She staggered and sat directly on the ground. This was her home in 1985, when she was just 17 years old.

She was reborn??!

Gu qiaoyue pinched her face again. The pain made her burst into tears.

In 1985, all the hardships had not come yet. Slag dad and Grandma had not forced her mother to death. She had not married that slag man, and her sister had not become bad and killed. Everything could be done again.

Gu Qiaowan came into the house and looked at Gu qiaoyue. She was startled and quickly helped her up: "sister, what's the matter with you? Why are you crying? Is it uncomfortable? Heatstroke?"

He shouted to the outside: "Mom, I don't know how to sit on the ground and cry. Mom, come and see if I have heatstroke."

Zhang Peipei, who was busy outside, quickly threw down his wooden shovel and ran into the house. Looking at Gu qiaoyue, who was crying and laughing, she was also very frightened.

"Qiao Yue, what's the matter with you? Tell your mother if you feel bad."

Gu qiaoyue raised her head and looked at the two pairs of concerned eyes. She only felt that everything was so real.

The hand pinched her leg hard, and the instant pain made her cry in an instant.

"It's all right. There was sand in my eyes just now."

As soon as Zhang Peipei heard that, he quickly pulled Gu qiaoyue out into the sun and looked carefully at her eyes.

After finding nothing, he said, "you child, now you are collecting wheat everywhere and there are wheat awns flying everywhere. Next time you feel there is something in your eyes, you can't rub it yourself. What if the wheat awns rub your eyes blind?"

Gu qiaoyue nodded skillfully. Whether it is true or just a dream, she enjoys the hard won lack of maternal love for many years.

Gu qiaoyue is fine. Zhang Peipei goes to cook. Gu Qiaowan comes up to her and looks carefully at Gu qiaoyue's eyes.

"Sister, do your eyes still hurt?"

Gu qiaoyue shook her head and went back to the only mirror in the house. She reached out and touched her face.

"Really young."

With oval face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a straight and delicate nose, the skin behind the ears is very white, and the cheeks are a little dark and red. It's not very beautiful as a whole, but it's dignified.

This was when she was seventeen. Now it was the summer vacation, and it was also the year when the fate of the family changed.

This year's mid-term exam, Gu qiaoyue was admitted to high school. The whole family was very happy. Zhang Peipei wrote a letter to Gu Dayong, who works on the railway, and said the good news.

Just two days after the letter was sent, Gu Dayong came back.

When he came back in the middle of the night, he beat Zhang Peipei when he entered the house. He said that as soon as he came back, he saw a dark figure go out from Zhang peipeipei's house and said that he was not at home, so Zhang peipeipei asked a wild man to bring him a green hat.

At that time, there was a lot of noise. All the neighbors came to watch the excitement. No matter what Zhang Peipei said, Gu Dayong didn't believe it and insisted that she find a wild man.

In 1985, people's thoughts were not so civilized. Everyone pointed at Zhang Peipei, saying that she was a wave and that she did not abide by women's morality.

Gu Dayong made a fuss and said that he had no face to stay in the village and left the next day.

People in the village felt that Zhang Peipei was indiscreet and began to alienate her. The women chewed their tongue and scolded Zhang Peipei for being cheap and cheap. They all guarded her, as if a man who didn't pay attention to Zhang peipeipei would seduce her family.

Some men with bad thoughts touched Zhang peipeipei's house in the middle of the night. Once Gu Qiaowan saw them and beat them out with a broom.

Zhang Peipei couldn't stand the gossip of the villagers and the harassment of the men. She jumped into the well at night.

He went crazy when he was rescued. After two years of madness, he accidentally fell into the ditch and died.

Because of things at home, Gu qiaoyue naturally didn't go to high school. She took care of the crazy Zhang Peipei at home. The villagers pointed out to their family, and the Gu family either beat or scolded them.

Under that kind of gossip, Gu Qiaowan had a hard time in school. He didn't go to school until he graduated from junior high school. Later, he got mixed up with the rascals in other villages, completely deteriorated and lost his life in his twenties.

Gu Dayong didn't go home for two years. When he came back, he brought a woman with a big belly and a two-year-old son.

Later, Gu qiaoyue knew that Gu Dayong had someone outside and was divorced when he came back. For fear that the people in the village would say him, he simply slandered Zhang peipeipei for stealing, beat her and went straight away. He didn't come back until the matter subsided.

Gu qiaoyue thought of these old things, and his eyes were cold.

Fortunately, everything is still in time.

When Gu Qiaowan came in, he just saw Gu qiaoyue's cold eyes and felt a chill from his back.

"Sister."

I don't know why, she always feels that her sister seems a little different today.

Gu qiaoyue recovered, smiled at Gu Qiaowan and asked, "Qiao Wan, did mom write to dad?"

She doesn't remember when Gu Dayong came back, but she still remembers the general day, the third or fourth day after Zhang Peipei wrote to Gu Dayong.

"Mom wrote to dad last night. You also wrote two sentences. Did you forget?"
