Reborn with a Cell Phone 2007

2007 7 Month 10 Day.

While her parents were packing, Ji Shumiao took Ji Zhenhua's newly bought Nokia N73 and hid on the balcony. She had to try whether Hua Wei could communicate with the current mobile phone.

In 2007, Nokia was still the world's largest mobile phone manufacturer, accounting for 40% of the global market share. In the same year, Apple, which would replace Nokia as the dominant player and once dominated the global mobile phone market, released the first generation of iPhone on January 1, which was officially released on June 9 of the same year. It was two years later that the iPhone first entered the Chinese market.

The moment the Nokia phone rang, Ji Shumiao's guess came true.

Ji Shumiao studied it for a while and confirmed that the two phones could communicate normally before returning the phone to Ji Zhenhua. Ji Zhenhua thought she was playing games on her phone and said he would buy her a game console.

Ji Shumiao: "Uh... No, I can't."

Qin Rong slapped Ji Zhenhua and scolded him, "She is at the age of learning knowledge, why buy her a game console? You are harming her and tempting her to lose her ambition."

"I was wrong, I was wrong! I won't buy it, I won't buy anything!" Ji Zhenhua begged for mercy repeatedly.

Qin Rong, who always spoke in a righteous tone, bought Ji Shumiao a small and light pink Nokia 6120c while shopping in the afternoon.

Qin Rong also picked out a pink mobile phone strap with a small flower and hung it around Ji Shumiao's neck: "You can't lose your phone if you carry it with you. You can call mom and dad anytime."

In terms of doting, Qin Rong has never lost to Ji Zhenhua; in terms of being tough, Qin Rong has never lost to Ji Zhenhua either.

Ji Zhenhua suggested: "Should we buy a digital camera? It will be convenient for us to take pictures of Miaomiao in the future."

Every year on Ji Shumiao’s birthday, the family of three would go to a photo studio to take a few photos. Qin Rong thought about the money spent on the photo studio every year and nodded in agreement.

In the camera shop, a family of three stood close together and asked the clerk to help take the first photo of Ji Shumiao after his rebirth.

2007 7 Month 11 Day.

The green train back home sped along at lightning speed, rumbling through the mountains, across the rivers, and across the vast land of the motherland. The scenery on both sides of the railway quickly swept away...

Ji Shumiao sat by the window, holding his chin and looking at the scenery along the way.

In 2007, high-speed trains were not yet popular, and ordinary people still took green trains to travel long distances. Qin Rong was reluctant to take a plane, so she just splurged a little and bought an express ticket.

The smell in the carriage was not very pleasant, with the smell of cigarettes, instant noodles, sweat, and shoes interweaving into the nose and rushing straight to the top of the head. Ji Shumiao applied half a bottle of Fengyoujing on his temples to feel better, but the girl opposite was miserable, her face was pale, and she went to the toilet to vomit again and again.

The aisle was crowded with people who had bought standing tickets, and it was not easy to go to the toilet. The girl's mother held up a garbage bag and asked her to vomit into it, but the girl shook her head and refused, and was slapped twice.

The woman cursed, "You are just a worthless life. Do you think you are a rich lady? Why are you pretending to be so delicate?"

The young lady opened her mouth and made a hoarse, ugly cry, unable to utter a word. She succumbed to the tyranny with tears in her eyes and vomited into the garbage bag with humiliation.

The little girl looked only two or three years older than Ji Shumiao. Ji Zhenhua couldn't bear to watch it any longer and advised, "Hey, sister, let's talk nicely. The child doesn't want to do it and is feeling very uncomfortable. Don't hit her."

As soon as Ji Zhenhua finished speaking, Qin Rong slapped him in the face: "Mind your own business."

The woman said sarcastically, "Brother, your own daughter is precious, unlike our country girls, who are worthless, even cheaper than the weeds in the fields. They are all unnecessary."

"We are all country people. You think you can justify abusing your daughter?" Ji Zhenhua muttered softly, and Qin Rong gave him a sidelong glance again.

The woman began to complain endlessly, saying that she had a difficult birth and that she had damaged her throat from cheating on her...

Ji Shumiao frowned, realizing that things were not simple.

Although it is the Chinese people's consistent nature not to show off their wealth when they go out, the clothes Qin Rong made for Ji Shumiao today were made by her grandmother two years ago. Although they look old now, and the sleeves and trouser legs are a bit shorter, the material is soft and breathable cotton, which is very comfortable to wear in summer.

Unlike this young lady, who was wearing dirty coarse cloth clothes, and the skin on her fair wrists and collarbones was rubbed red by the rough cloth.

The curled up girl noticed Ji Shumiao was looking at her, and like a rusty robot, she wiped the water stains on the table and wrote down three letters.

"Mom! I want to go to the bathroom!" Ji Shumiao turned to Qin Rong and said, "Hurry up! I can't hold it anymore!"

It would be too late if you were slow. When getting on the bus, Ji Shumiao saw the woman's ticket. They would get off at the next stop.

"Why didn't you say it earlier? You only said it when you couldn't hold it anymore." Qin Rong complained as she picked her up and walked towards the bathroom.

The carriage was crowded with people, and the aisle was piled with luggage, making it difficult to move. Ji Zhenhua reached out to take Ji Shumiao: "I'll take her."

"No, it's not convenient for you. Just keep an eye on the luggage here." Qin Rong turned her back to the woman and winked at him.

Ji Zhenhua suddenly realized: "Okay, okay, I will definitely take a good look at it."

Ji Shumiao said anxiously: "Mom! Hurry up! I'll come down and walk by myself!"

"Hold it!" Qin Rong said fiercely.

After much difficulty, they reached the junction of two carriages, which was a little more spacious. Before Ji Shumiao could even catch his breath, Qin Rong grabbed him and pulled him forward.

"Comrade flight attendant!" Qin Rong knocked on the door of the staff lounge next to the water room, pulled the flight attendant and whispered, "The woman opposite me is a human trafficker. The little girl she brought was kidnapped by her."

The flight attendant was a young man. He asked solemnly, "Is it reliable?"

Qin Rong was almost dying of anxiety: "Don't worry about whether they are reliable or not, just arrest them first, they will get off at the next stop!"

"Oh oh oh!"

The flight attendant quickly picked up the intercom and called the police.

Ji Shumiao was stunned. She had prepared so many drafts but they were useless. Her mother gave it an A and it was instantly rejected. She saw the SOS written by the young lady, but how did Qin Rong know about it?

The mother and daughter watched from afar as a woman with her luggage preparing to get off the train was taken away by the conductor. The young girl cried and threw herself into the arms of a female police officer. The female police officer patiently coaxed her and took her off the train.

Ji Zhenhua saw the mother and daughter and waved at them with a silly smile on his face.

Ji Shumiao shook Qin Rong's hand: "Mom, how do you know that person is a bad guy?"

"That little girl has a nice figure, delicate skin and tender flesh, and even her hair is shiny and smooth. How could she be raised by a coarse man? She also damaged her voice by cheating on him. It's probably because of that evil-minded guy who poisoned her and made her mute."

Qin Rong spoke angrily. She lowered her head and looked at the little girl she was holding, and couldn't help feeling a little worried - why wasn't she growing taller?

How did that little girl get raised? If I could meet her parents, I would really like to learn from them.

Someone came out of the toilet next door, and Qin Rong pushed her in: "Don't you want to go to the toilet?"

This toilet has been used by so many people that it is impossible to keep it clean. The staff simply does not have enough time to clean it. Not only does the toilet have a pungent smell, but there are also used toilet papers of different colors scattered in the corners.

But since he was already here, Ji Shumiao still went ahead with it.

Coming out of the toilet, Ji Shumiao went to wash his hands with a miserable look on his face.

Qin Rong joked, "Oh, Miss Jiaojiao of our family, you think it's dirty now? Let's see what you will do when you go back to the countryside and use the dry toilet."

"what?"

When Ji Shumiao thought of the dry toilet scene he saw in his previous life, he couldn't help but feel dizzy and his scalp tingling.

Qin Rong was still complaining that she was being too delicate, but she turned around and asked the flight attendant to upgrade the hard sleeper tickets for the family of three.

"I was so scared, that woman turned out to be a human trafficker!"

When changing carriages, Ji Zhenhua talked about the incident that had just happened and patted his chest with a look of fear on his face.

Qin Rong: "I winked at you, and I thought you saw it from that expression! I overestimated you after all."

Ji Zhenhua scratched his head embarrassedly: "I thought you wanted me to keep an eye on the luggage and watch out for thieves."

"..."

"..."

The mother and daughter stared at the roof of the car in silence.

The environmental sanitation of the hard sleeper compartment has improved a lot.

The berths are arranged in compartments, with three layers to the top.

Ji Shumiao sat cross-legged on the middle bunk, and miraculously found that he could straighten his back and there was still a lot of extra space above his head.

Her impression was still stuck on her previous life. The middle berth on the hard sleeper train made her unable to straighten her back, and the space was as oppressive as a coffin.

Qin Rong watched her gesture at the space above her head, and reached out to pinch her tender face: "If you only eat but don't gain weight, are you worthy of the hard-working farmers and the chickens, ducks, and fish that died for you?"

Ji Shumiao sighed, pinched the soft flesh around his waist, and said with a worried look: "I'm growing, growing, and trying hard to repay my parents' love."

Ji Shumiao's mischievous appearance made everyone in the carriage laugh.
