Mist System: Legend of Stars and Moon
Chapter 42: An Unreal Future
Xu Xuerui's childhood home was a mud house located in the mountains, where her mother gave birth to seven brothers and sisters.
Their marriage was very simple at that time. One could become husband and wife by trading a bag of grain. No matter they loved each other or not, living together was considered marriage.
Xu Xuerui is the fourth child in the family. She has three older brothers and a younger brother and a younger sister.
The three older brothers played best with her, and the younger brothers and sisters who were of similar age liked to hang out together, but she was the only one who couldn't fit in with either side.
She started primary school at the age of seven. Her favorite subject was math. The days studying in class were her happiest times. She liked to compete with a tall boy named Gao Daoyi in math problems.
Both sides of Xu Xuerui's notebook were filled with drafts, but it still couldn't stop her from doing math problems.
Xu Xuerui and Gao Daoyi sit at the tables in front and behind each other.
After she figured out the problem, she showed it to Gao Daoyi with great interest: "I figured it out."
Gao Daoyi would praise her: "You are really amazing."
A ray of light from the window shone in front of them, as if wanting to press a shortcut key to save their joy at the moment.
Gao Daoyi tapped Xu Xuerui's back with his finger and said, "Xu Xuerui, look at that ray of sunlight shining on the ground. Isn't it beautiful? It feels like you are on the sea."
Xu Xuerui took a closer look and it really looked like that: "There must be a sun hidden in the crack in the ground, otherwise why would it be so bright?"
Gao Daoyi: "That's because the floor I mopped is particularly bright."
They were on duty today so they stayed until the end. The smell of water mixed with dust did not dissipate.
There was no noise in the classroom like during class, only the tranquility that belonged to the two of them.
Xu Xuerui said to Gao Daoyi: "The floor you mop is the brightest, and the floor I sweep is the cleanest."
"Yes, I like the floor swept by Xu Xuerui."
"I'm going home to cut grass for the pigs."
Xu Xuerui packed her schoolbag and went home.
Gao Daoyi picked up his schoolbag and took his notebook, then chased after him: "Xu Xuerui, wait for me."
The school was some distance from home, and the strong smell of cow dung was overwhelming. Cows were needed to plow the fields, so every household raised buffaloes.
Gao Daoyi grabbed Xu Xuerui's arm: "Let's walk slower! I want to stay with you for a while."
Xu Xuerui asked puzzledly: "Can't we still meet tomorrow?"
Gao Daoyi expressed his concerns: "I always feel that we will be separated by the long river of time in the next moment, so walk slowly so that we can enjoy the same period of time in the same space."
"If I don't go back quickly, my parents will scold me."
"Okay then! I'll walk with you for a while."
Gao Daoyi picked up a random topic and started chatting: "Xu Xuerui, do you know why flowers are planted on cow dung?"
Xu Xuerui has read the random reply: "Because you are a flower and you want to stick it in the cow dung."
Gao Daoyi explained: "The flowers grow there, and the cow dung is poured on the flowers, providing nutrients for the flowers to grow on the cow dung."
Xu Xuerui teased Gao Daoyi: "You are a flower, so you need cow dung to water you. You are a flower, and you want to stick it into the cow's ass, hahahaha!"
Gao Daoyi said: "Is it possible that I am cow dung?"
Xu Xuerui wanted to be a lady, so she suppressed her laughter and said, "Actually, you don't have to work so hard to be both a flower and cow dung."
Gao Daoyi was unconvinced and said, "It's mutual between us. You are the flower and I am the cow dung."
"Don't talk about this anymore. I'm afraid you won't be able to eat when you go home. Do you want to eat cow dung?" Xu Xuerui deliberately disgusted Gao Daoyi.
Gao Daoyi: "Then let's change it. The star in the sky is happily inserted into the moon. You answer with a word."
Xu Xuerui pointed to the sky and said, "The sun hasn't set yet, and there's no moon!"
Gao Daoyi was very shy: "You go back and think about it! I'm going home now."
The fork in the road had arrived. Gao Daoyi ran to that section of the road and waved to Xu Xuerui: "Bye, see you tomorrow."
This is not only a fork in the road for them now, but also a fork in the road for their future.
On weekends, Xu Xuerui took out a small stool from home and went to the yard to squat and do her homework.
It was a hot summer day, and the older brothers went out to play with their friends, while the younger brothers and sisters stayed at home having fun.
When their younger brothers and sisters have had enough fun, they will come to harm them as the older sister.
Grandma just watched from the side.
Seeing that Xu Xuerui was writing very seriously, her younger sister said, "Sister, what are you writing? Let me see."
Her sister grabbed a corner of her homework, and Xu Xuerui grabbed her homework and said, "Let go, give it to me."
Xu Xuerui stared at her sister fiercely and said, "Just play your own games and don't disturb me."
Grandma saw that the time was right and came over to mediate: "You are the older sister and understand things better. They are still young. You should give them some leeway."
"Grandma, they were the ones who grabbed the book first."
"Your sister is crazy and sick. Grandchildren, let's go to the house and boil eggs for you."
In that era, eggs were considered a luxury.
Grandma cooked three eggs but didn't cook hers. Xu Xuerui didn't want to dwell on these trivial matters. After all, grandma was an old person.
In the evening, when my parents came back from farm work, my mother saw that there were a few eggs missing and asked my grandmother, "Did you boil the eggs?"
"Yes, cook it for my grandson."
The mother did not ask any further questions. Xu Xuerui was not often present at home.
When she finished primary school, her parents sent her out to work on the grounds that the family was in poor financial condition.
Xu Xuerui believes that her parents' orders are irreversible and she wants to repay them for raising her. Sometimes she really wants to escape from here. After she leaves, she will have no home and no direction in life.
Her fantasy for the future is to find someone to marry and start a family to change her life.
Later, when she came back from work, she wanted to talk to Gao Daoyi, but he had already moved away.
Xu Xuerui had to return home disappointed. She obeyed her parents and the matchmaker found a family surnamed Wang for marriage, because if she was old and not married, people in the village would gossip about her.
After meeting him, Xu Xuerui felt that he did not smoke or drink and was an honest man. He would definitely be a good husband and father in the future, so she married him.
After so many years, Xu Xuerui was content with having a pair of children and a husband. When her first child was born, she was reluctant to let him go because she and her husband had to go to the city to work and could not take care of her son.
But if she didn't go out to earn money, how would she raise her child? Then she convinced herself to leave the child. The next year, her second child was born, a daughter, who was lucky enough to stay with Xu Xuerui.
Xu Xuerui hopes her daughter will be a lively and cheerful child.
Xu Xuerui liked the child very much, and her husband also liked girls. Xu Xuerui was more convinced that her vision was not wrong.
She now lives with relatives and her children are around her, but the thing she was most worried about still happened.
She stared at the flowing water in the stream. The light reflected on the water, highlighting their brilliant brilliance.
Xu Xuerui made a decision that she would take Xu Ranqing away.
She wants to take her daughter to a better future.
After the children fell asleep at night, Xu Xuerui took her husband to a small room to discuss the matter.
Xu Xuerui stared at the candle on the table and said expressionlessly, "Dad, let's get a divorce!"
Her husband was puzzled and asked, "Isn't life good now? Although the house we live in now is not ours, in a few years, we will be able to buy our own house and our children will be around us. Isn't that good?"
Xu Xuerui covered her face and said painfully: "Very good, it's just that I can't adapt to the life here."
"If you get divorced, where are you going to go?"
Xu Xuerui: "Go to the city, find a job, and let my daughter study there."
"You really want a divorce."
"Correct."
"Are you going to continue the business?"
"Ah."
Her husband agreed to her request and took out some of his own money: "Take this few hundred and buy some food and clothes for your daughter."
Xu Xuerui bid farewell to this dull marriage and took her daughter to escape from the cage that bound them.
She used to think she had nothing, but fortunately God left her a child, which gave her hope to survive.
"Mom, where are we going?"
"Go to the future, there is a wonderful life waiting for us!"
"A place just for the two of us?"
"Yeah! A place that belongs to just the two of us."
"Wow wow wow!"
"When the time comes, Mom will buy you some new clothes."
"Mom, I knew a brother before. He was a very good person. Can we meet him in the future?"
"Mom asks you, what are his characteristics?"
"He's a little crazy."
The mother and daughter strolled along a country path. The sky was clear, a breeze blew through the mountains, green hills overlapped on both sides, the grass was lush, and everything was playing a light melody.
Walking this road will lead to a bright future.
It is difficult to find cheap and comfortable houses in the city, so they first lived in a hotel. Xu Xuerui moved to several buildings and finally found a single room on a mountain. Anyway, there were only her and her daughter living there, so the smaller the house, the better.
After a long and tiring journey, Xu Xuerui boiled a pot of water for Xu Ranqing to take a bath.
The white steam in the pot of water was bubbling up, and Xu Ranqing found it very magical.
She wondered if a fairy would appear in the fog and fulfill many of her wishes so that she and her mother could live a carefree life.
She rushed outside and shouted, "Mother, the spirit is coming out of the kettle."
Xu Xuerui was on the phone! When the water boiled, Xu Xuerui put the big basin she bought from the supermarket on the table and placed a few ducklings in it.
Xu Ranqing was sitting inside, and Xu Xuerui was helping her daughter wash with a scoop.
The whole room was foggy, and a ray of light shone in, illuminating the gloomy little house, and this moment was recorded.
Xu Ranqing pointed at the toy duck on the water and said, "Mom, look at the little duck swimming in the water."
Xu Xuerui looked at her daughter with a smile: "Mom is watching!"
"Mom, look, when I make a wave, they swim faster."
"Yes!"
Happy times always pass quickly. Xu Xuerui has to prepare for her children's schooling and her own work.
After many twists and turns, her daughter went to a private university, and she had to work harder to make money. She didn't know how to do anything and could only sell fruits.
It is a blessing to bring my children out to do business every day.
After school, my daughter would come over to watch her business. They mainly cut water chestnuts and sell them.
Xu Xuerui handed the apron to Xu Ranqing and went to the toilet.
Xu Ranqing took out a small knife from her mother's apron. She didn't dare to touch the big knife, but she could try to touch the small knife!
So Xu Ranqing peeled the water chestnuts awkwardly. After working for most of the day, he only peeled one.
Xu Xuerui came back and saw a blackened water chestnut in the milk. She picked it up, rinsed it with water, and threw it into Xu Ranqing's mouth: "You peel it yourself and eat it yourself."
Xu Ranqing happily replied to her mother: "Okay, Mom."
Xu Ranqing took the sweet water chestnut.
Selling fruits was not very easy, so one day, Xu Ranqing came to help his mother as usual.
Suddenly, all the vegetable vendors shouted, "The urban management officials are here."
Xu Ranqing was shocked by the chaos at the time. The urban management staff pulled a corner of her mother's basket and scrambled for it frantically, and the fruit was scattered all over the ground.
Xu Ranqing started to cry to stop the chaos. As a child, she already knew the cruelty of life. After she finished crying, her mother put the basket away and came to comfort her: "Little sister, don't cry, mommy was not taken away, they just took our fruit."
Xu Ranqing couldn't stop crying: "Mom, I hate them."
"They are just people who can't make decisions for their own lives, and that won't be the case in the future."
"Mom." Xu Ranqing hugged her mother.
Later, Xu Xuerui had some money. She bought a TV and many dance DVDs. She showed her daughter videos of children dancing. The girls in the videos wore short skirts and danced gracefully and gorgeously, but Xu Ranqing didn't like watching them. She resisted the videos her mother showed her. Xu Xuerui didn't force her daughter to learn later.
Xu Xuerui's daughter is in junior high school now. She hopes that her daughter can study hard and do well in her studies. However, her daughter's grades are very poor, which gives her a headache and she doesn't know what to do.
She couldn't bear to beat her child, and she often quarreled with her daughter over her grades. There are many tutoring institutions out there, but she believed that tutoring institutions could not teach as well as schools, and it was a waste of money to pay money to go in.
Let everything take its course! In the second year of junior high school, my daughter's grades were still the same. I was afraid she wouldn't even be able to get into high school. A relative who I hadn't contacted for three years called and asked if her child had gone to high school.
She heard the mocking tone of other relatives on the other end of the phone, saying that her husband ran away and left behind a daughter who lost money, and asked her why she didn't go back to her hometown since she was divorced, and whether she liked to live a hard life in the city. She didn't know how to answer and just said she was still in junior high school.
She didn't say which day of the year she was in junior high school. The studies were very busy and she wanted her child to eat well, so she gave her daughter more money every day. However, after the exams, she still didn't pass.
Xu Ranqing was also very sad, but she didn't know what to do. She locked herself in her room all day long until her mother came back to cook. Then she got up. After dinner, she lay down again and checked her phone.
As she brushed her brush, she remembered her father looking at her mother sleeping on the sofa, and then he said, "Pig, get up, pig." She didn't like her father anymore, and because her mother didn't support what she liked, she didn't like her mother either.
The girl thought that since her mother was a pig, who was she? Why would two people who didn't love each other get married and have children? She thought she was redundant. Then she had a terrible idea: she wanted to destroy herself.
