Reborn with a Cell Phone 2007

To get back to Qin's house, you have to walk along a country road, but fortunately it is a cement road, not a dirt road.

Walking in from the store at the entrance of the village, there is a large area of ​​abandoned factory buildings and vacant land. It used to be a brick and tile factory. Qin Sheng was the deputy director of this factory before his retirement. A few years ago, as part of the county planning, this brick and tile factory was merged with those in several other towns and moved to the suburbs of the county.

Passing by the abandoned brick and tile factory, Qin Sheng also talked about this matter: "I heard that the county town is going to build a highway soon. The brick and tile factory is very close to the highway. I guess the higher-ups planned it a long time ago."

They walked and chatted about family matters. When they passed a vegetable field at the foot of a hill, Ji Shumiao looked up at the hillside covered with dense cypress trees.

After my grandparents passed away in the previous life, they were buried on this hillside.

Thinking of this, Ji Shumiao couldn't help feeling sad.

In the previous life, grandpa passed away earlier than mom. Qin Rong brought her and Ji Zhenhua's ashes back to their hometown. His health was getting worse and worse. Qin Sheng and his wife became anxious and angry, and sought medical treatment everywhere. Who could have thought that Qin Sheng would fall ill earlier? A check-up showed that he had advanced pancreatic cancer. No medicine could cure him, and he died soon after. Then, aunt Qin Yun, due to overwork in her early years, also died of an acute illness and passed away in the same year that Qin Rong died.

Ji Shumiao couldn't bear the blows one after another, let alone the elderly Ruan Xiangxiu. But Ruan Xiangxiu didn't collapse after being depressed. She wiped away her tears and took care of Ji Shumiao who was about to take the college entrance examination: "Miaomiao, study hard, go to college and make a lot of money. Grandma is waiting for Miaomiao to let me enjoy the happiness."

But she didn't wait for her grandma. In the winter of Ji Shumiao's sophomore year, her grandma fell down at home and never got up again. It was not until the next day when Ji Shumiao couldn't get through to her on the phone and asked someone to go to her house to check that she found out...

Why does hemp rope break only at the thinnest part, and why does misfortune only find its way to the unfortunate? Because neither the unfortunate people nor the thin hemp rope can withstand the slightest grinding.

Seeing that she was in a low mood, the adults thought she was tired and didn't ask any further questions.

Nowadays, life is getting better and better. The small buildings in Qinjia Bay are more beautiful and larger than each other.

Qin Rong looked at the beautiful little Western-style building and couldn't help but sigh: "It's only been more than two years since I came back, and there are so many new houses."

Qin Sheng shook his head: "What's the point of building a nice house? It's full of old people and children. Young people work hard all year round, and when they return to their hometown to stay for a few days, they leave the old people and children behind. Every Chinese New Year, starting from the fifth, sixth, and seventh day, every child in every family takes turns crying. It's not a big deal if the children are not with their parents!"

It is normal to work in the city these days, and most people leave their children to be taken care of by the elderly at home. People like Qin Rong and Ji Zhenhua who keep their children with them are the exception. They did think about it at the beginning, but they couldn't bear to let go. When they went to work, they let Qin Sheng and Ruan Xiangxiu take care of Miao Miao for half a year. As soon as they rented a house and got a stable job, they took their daughter over immediately.

The Qin family now lives in a three-room brick house, one main room, one room for the old couple, and another room divided into two rooms, which used to be the room for Qin Rong and her sister. Behind the three brick houses, there is a chicken shed where chickens and ducks are raised. There is also a kitchen on the side, and a toilet is hidden behind the kitchen. This house is simple and has no decorations. It is the most practical layout and style in the countryside. Because the old couple is diligent and likes to be clean, this house with cement walls, gray tiles, and a few years is not old and rustic at all, but looks plain and old.

The old couple prepared the meal before they went out and kept it warm in the pot. Now they can serve it on the table and eat it.

Ji Shumiao had lost his appetite originally due to the jolting of the car, but once he started eating he couldn't stop.

Wow, it’s so delicious, local chicken, duck and pork, and it’s made by my grandma. It’s so delicious.

The fragrance made me confused and I cried with greed...

I'm craving for wine.

Qin Sheng and Ji Zhenhua, the father-in-law and son-in-law, hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they had to have a drink or two. Qin Sheng took out the good wine that he had collected for a long time, and the aroma made Ji Shumiao's stomach burst with greed.

After her grandmother passed away in her previous life, Ji Shumiao lived a mediocre life. Not long after, she became addicted to alcohol. She didn't get drunk every day, but she had to drink a little every day to fall asleep at night. She was not picky about the type and brand of alcohol and liked to mix her own cocktails. There was a large cabinet of wine and drink utensils in the rented apartment.

I couldn't drink any more wine, so I could only turn my alcohol addiction into appetite and bite hard on the chicken legs - Grandma's brand chicken legs, there was no hard work but all emotion.

It's just that the teeth during the tooth replacement period are so weak and really hold back.

Ji Shumiao ate happily, but Qin Rong couldn't stand it anymore and stopped her from eating.

"Is Miaomiao's spleen and stomach still not feeling well?" Ruan Xiangxiu felt distressed when she saw it. "Didn't you say it was much better two years ago?"

Qin Rong got angry when she talked about this. She told her mother all the dirty things Zhao Mei had done. At the end, she couldn't help complaining to her mother: "Miaomiao was sick two months ago. The clinic couldn't cure her. She had intravenous drips during the day to reduce her fever, but she had a high fever again at night. This went on for several days. Finally, she went to the military hospital and had intravenous drips for three days before she recovered. She just got better now, but she had acute gastroenteritis again last month. This child is really worrying..."

Ji Shumiao has been in poor health since he was still breastfeeding. Mainly because Qin Rong's health was not very good. She was anemic when she was a teenager and fainted several times. After giving birth to Ji Shumiao, her milk supply was pitifully little. Milk powder was expensive at that time, so Ji Shumiao was mainly raised on rice noodles, so he was frequently sick since he was a child.

Ji Shumiao thought about it and realized that it was related to the overuse of antibiotics in small clinics. When she got sick, she would take large doses of antibiotics, which made her immune system even weaker, and it became a vicious cycle. After Ji Zhenhua passed away in her previous life, she gritted her teeth and endured minor illnesses and pains. After a period of time, her health improved a lot.

Ruan Xiangxiu comforted him, "Don't be so anxious. Look at Zechuan, he was a premature baby, but now he is strong. He looks skinny and small, but he has never been sick all year round, and he works more skillfully than many adults."

Ji Shumiao had been fiddling with his phone with his head down, but when he heard what Ruan Xiangxiu said, he immediately raised his head: "Brother Zechuan!"

"Yes, brother Zechuan, Miaomiao still remembers it." Ruan Xiangxiu pulled her granddaughter into her arms and cuddled her close. "Grandma is going to visit Grandma Xiuying in a while. Do you want to go with us, Miaomiao?"

The past came to his mind, and Ji Shumiao couldn't help but sigh secretly. How could he forget it?

Qin Rong asked: "Are Aunt Xiuying's eyes okay?"

Ruan Xiangxiu sighed: "I couldn't see it at all last year."
