Double Life: My whole world is you

After dinner, grandma gave her a thermos. Cheng Qiao carried the thermos to the room. Grandma lived in the room on the right hand side of the door. The house was very long, about seven or eight meters long and three or four meters wide, with two windows in the front and back. There was a cloth wardrobe facing the door. On the left were two old tables with some daily necessities on them. In the middle was a 1.5-meter Simmons bed. Grandma sewed a bedspread with old clothes. Inside were several wooden doors with several quilts on them. Those wooden doors could be used as beds when everyone came back during the holidays. Opposite the bed were several large pottery jars, where grandma put her food. Sometimes she would secretly take it to eat. Cheng Qiao smiled and shook her head as she recalled the past. She picked up a large plastic basin and placed it in the middle. She drew up the curtains in front and back, and ran to the well to get some cold water. She mixed it with the bottle of hot water and quickly took a bath. After the bath, Cheng Qiao was ready to wash clothes. When she opened the door, her grandmother had already cleaned up the kitchen. She took the clothes from her hands and said, "You can read a book. Don't worry about the clothes. I'll take them to the pond to wash them tomorrow morning."

"Grandma, I'm old enough now, I can wash the clothes." Cheng Qiao grabbed the clothes, "I have finished my homework for today."

"It's just a few pieces of clothing, why don't you care about them?" Grandma took the clothes stubbornly and closed the door. "It's not dark yet, read more books."

Looking at the closed door, Cheng Qiao felt helpless. Grandma and Cheng's mother had always taken such good care of her. In fact, she could do many things by herself. Cheng Qiao found the broom in the corner and started sweeping the living room. After sweeping the living room, she heard the sound of her grandmother getting dressed. She quickly opened her schoolbag and sat by the door, pretending to read. After a while, her grandmother opened the door and saw Cheng Qiao sitting aside reading a book, and nodded with satisfaction.

After it was completely dark, Cheng Qiao followed her grandmother, closed the door outside, and went into the room. There was no TV in the room, and her grandmother had no habit of watching TV. After taking off her clothes, she looked at Cheng Qiao who was already lying down, and turned off the lights.

Cheng Qiao lay in bed and couldn't fall asleep for a while. She wanted to chat with her grandmother, but she didn't know what to talk about. Then her grandmother suddenly said, "You left in a hurry this morning, and I forgot to give you your meal money."

Hearing what grandma said, Cheng Qiao was stunned. Yes, I am still a child and need adults to give me living expenses. I also borrowed a bag of biscuits from Liqin today. Cheng Qiao thought about responding. At this time, grandma suddenly turned on the light. Cheng Qiao adjusted to the light and looked at her. She took out a plastic bag from the pillow. When she opened the bag, there was a piece of green cloth, which was full of cold-colored bills. Grandma wiped her saliva with her hand, took out the only fifty yuan and gave it to her, then picked up another twenty yuan, and finally gave her a ten yuan. Cheng Qiao took the money a little embarrassedly and said softly, "Thank you, grandma."

Grandma rewrapped the remaining money and said, "You should be frugal with it. This eighty cents is your living expenses for two months."

Hearing her words, Cheng Qiao nodded subconsciously and asked in surprise, "Two months?"

After all, they are now eating shared meals, which cost three yuan per meal. If they go to school 22 days a month, that would cost 66 yuan a month, and more than yuan for two months. Eighty yuan is really not enough.

Seeing her expression, grandma sighed, "Alas, it's not easy for your mother to take care of you two. Your registration fee this time is four or five hundred yuan, and your brother's registration fee is also several hundred yuan. Your mother only makes six hundred yuan a month. You have to be considerate of her."

"Grandma, I understand her." Cheng Qiao lowered her head.

"Good boy, keep the money first." Grandma said kindly, "I will get up tomorrow morning and cook for you and bring you some food."

"Okay." Cheng Qiao lowered her head, put the money away and placed it under her pillow.

Grandma turned off the lights again, and Cheng Qiao lay on the bed, not wanting to sleep anymore. She rested her hands on her head, thinking about what happened today. She felt a little unbelievable. She came back inexplicably. All the people and things were exactly the same as in the last life, and she met all the people she was supposed to meet. [It's just that I went back to sixteen years ago this time. What changes can I make? I'm only fourteen years old now, and I'm still in the second year of junior high school. I only have eighty yuan in my hand. I've never bought a lottery ticket, and I don't know the winning number. It's the best time to buy a house, but let alone a fourteen-year-old like me. Even my mother can't afford to buy a house. Other relatives don't have much money, and they won't listen to me to buy a house even if they have money.] In her last life, she was ordinary and didn't have any special skills. Her only advantage was her profession. She studied graphic design and could take design jobs, but she didn't know anything else. But design requires a computer, and there is no such condition now. Her only skill is useless for the time being. She scratched her head, and now she can only go back and make the best of it...

I fell asleep unknowingly while thinking about random things. My dreams were also full of random thoughts. I didn’t know how long it had been before I heard my grandmother’s voice, “Qiao, wake up. I’ll go cook, you get up and wash up.”

"Yeah, okay!" Cheng Qiao replied casually, then fell down and continued to sleep.

"Ah! You didn't get up again today." Cheng Xia's angry voice sounded in my ears.

Hearing Cheng Xia's words, Cheng Qiao opened his eyes hazily and said casually, "It's dawn again!?"

"I really admire you." Cheng Xia lifted her up, "I was afraid you hadn't gotten up yet, so I ran over to call you."

"Okay, okay, get up right away." Cheng Qiao quickly picked up the coat next to him and put it on.

At this time, grandma cooked the dishes and handed them to her in a glass bottle that had been used to drink canned food. Cheng Xia helped her take the glass bottle and said, "Go brush your teeth quickly, I'll pack it for you."

After another two minutes of brushing their teeth and washing their faces, the two were ready to run outside when their grandmother stopped them and said, "You didn't bring your money."

Cheng Qiao took the money, and Cheng Xia pulled her to the next village to find Cheng Xiu. At this time, Cheng Xiu was already waiting for them on the roadside. The three of them ran to school again. Cheng Xia said helplessly, "Qiao, can you get up earlier next time? We will be late easily this way."

"Yeah, our new head teacher looks scary." Cheng Xiu also said, "I'm afraid to look into his eyes."

"Okay, I'll make sure to get up early tomorrow." Cheng Qiao replied embarrassedly. But she felt a little uncertain in her heart. It really would ruin me if I didn't have to get up early and work hard for the next ten years!

The three of them kept walking and running and finally ran into the classroom one second before the bell rang. As soon as Cheng Xia and Cheng Xiu entered the classroom, Teacher Li, the head teacher of Class 2, walked into the classroom. Cheng Xia and Cheng Xiu breathed a sigh of relief. Cheng Qiao also ran into the classroom. She was glad that she arrived one second before the bell rang. She said to herself happily, "Fortunately, the "tiger" hasn't come yet."

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a chill on her back. She suppressed her curiosity, quickly picked up her Chinese textbook, and told herself not to look back. Sure enough, a few students stood at the door of the classroom and didn't dare to come in. A few minutes later, the head teacher left behind her and came to the door of the classroom, and then disappeared at the door with a few students...
