slant [rebirth]

Jiang Rui knew how he would die.

He would scapegoat a man named Ye Wenbin and die in a prison brawl.

He even knew what he looked like when he died.

His face was covered in blood, his fingers and legs were broken, and several ribs were broken.One of them broke and pierced a lung, causing hemorrhage to death.

Jiang Rui wanted to lie to himself that these were just a dream last night, and they were fake.

But the memory of those 20 years is too clear and real.

He could clearly feel the sadness of dropping out of school after the college entrance examination, the hunger and helplessness when he couldn't afford to work in Qingshi, and even the pain at his mother's funeral... Even in the prison, he heard the sound of his bones breaking. remember.

In those memories, he regretted many, many things, and those painful experiences made him terrified in his sleep!

He was afraid that those things would really happen, that those who loved him would leave one by one, and that he would really fall in love with the man who betrayed him and killed him.

Jiang Rui touched a red mole the size of a mung bean on his wrist. There used to be a Buddhist bead strung with a red string in this place, which was left to him by his grandfather.

He remembered that before he went to jail for Ye Wenbin, he fought for him with his elder brother Wang Chenghui, whom he had always trusted.

If those memories were really dreams, then this mole would never exist.

It's all true...it's all true.

Jiang Rui opened his eyes, looking out of the house through the blurred glass on the dilapidated mahogany framed window.The figures outside were shaking, and some conversations could be heard from time to time.

He propped up his body, half of the thin sleeves on his body were soaked with sweat, perhaps because of a night of dreaming, he was exhausted at this moment, sat on the edge of the bed for a while, and then he had the strength to put on his shoes and go out.

It turned out that the people talking outside were my parents, my aunt and my wife.

As soon as Jiang's mother, He Fulan, saw her son coming out, she immediately took off her coat and walked quickly towards her son, reprimanding her, "You child, I didn't look at you for a while, and you woke up, you just woke up with a [-]-degree fever. You can only wear this little, do you want to torment yourself or torment me... Put on mine first, and I will find you a coat."

Jiang Rui was a little dazed, he remembered having such a high fever, because he discovered it late, and his brain was a little burnt out, and he didn't see much in his usual dealings with people, but the impact on his studies was obvious.

He used to be at the top of his class in elementary school, and later he was admitted to the best junior high school in the town, but his grades dropped all the way after he had a high fever, so he had to go to a random high school in the town. After the college entrance examination, he gave up college and went to work in Qingshi.

Aunt He Fumei felt distressed when she saw her nephew's pale face, which had just recovered from a serious illness, and hurried forward to hold Jiang Rui's hand, wanting to say a few words of love, but was startled by Jiang Rui's cold hand, and hurriedly rubbed her hands again. He warmed his nephew's hands again, "Ruirui, you scared your mother last night. If she hadn't paid attention last night to help you press the quilt and found that you were in a bad situation, otherwise you would be in danger. You will be in danger forever. You have to pay attention to your body, you know?"

He Fumei only has two daughters under her knees, and she always wanted to have a son in her dreams, but because she hurt her body when giving birth to her youngest daughter, it was difficult to conceive again, so her sister's only son was in great pain, if she could, she would wish For Jiang Rui's illness.

Jiang Rui's hand slowly warmed up, and he smiled obediently at his aunt: "Understood, aunt."

He Fumei looked at the little nephew who was not so alienated and polite to her, and smiled, took out a piece of Guanyin from the bag, and put it on him: "This is a gift from my aunt this time. Fierce, you have been weak since childhood, so it is good to carry this."

Jiang Rui stared at this piece of Guanyin, he didn't have this piece of Guanyin in his memory, presumably he rejected his aunt's kindness at the beginning.

He Fumei is too glamorous, and married a man who is nearly ten years older than her. This is very deviant in the eyes of rural people, and even some ugly rumors.Because of these rumors, Jiang Rui has been angry since he was a child, so he is quite displeased with this aunt.He usually looks docile and has a good temper, but he is very strong in his bones. My aunt gave him many things before, and he didn't ask for any of them.Even if the mother sometimes feels sorry for the younger sister to accept it for him, he will strongly demand it to be returned.For this he suffered a lot of beatings.

Jiang Rui is no longer the simple and ignorant child he used to be. He can tell at a glance whether his aunt really loves him or is acting. He will not refuse his pure love for his aunt, let alone hurt his heart again.

"Thank you, aunt." Jiang Rui touched the white jade Guanyin on his neck with a look of fondness. Jade of this quality will cost five figures in later generations, but the price is not that high now.

He Fumei was already prepared to be rejected, but she didn't expect her nephew to accept her gift, which made her eyes turn red instantly, and it took a while to calm down.And He Fulan, who had just found a coat for her son and came out, was also very pleased to see this scene.

Although Jiang Jianjun didn't like his sister-in-law and his wife, and was impatient to talk to his brother-in-law who was almost ten years older than himself, he still loved his son very much. Seeing that his son took the initiative, he didn't say much.At that time, the rural people didn't know much about jade, and they had no concept of it. They only regarded it as a child's plaything.

Seeing Jiang Rui put on his coat, He Fulan said: "Ruirui, Mom asked you for leave this morning and told your head teacher about your situation, your head teacher told you to take good care of your illness and go to school after you get well. "

Jiang Rui's illness seems to be severe, but once the fever subsides, nothing will happen.After thinking about it, Jiang Rui did not reject the kindness of his mother and teacher. The dream of Huang Liang last night made him feel as if he had never seen these relatives in front of him. It seemed that he hadn't seen them in decades, especially The mother who died young in memory.It's better to stay at home for two more days with my mother.

Because of the arrival of her younger sister and brother-in-law today, He Fulan cooked a table of dishes by herself, and there were still a few things that were not ready at the moment. After giving her son a few words, she went into the kitchen again.

He Fumei came to help, and Jiang Jianjun went to get the baijiu he had collected for many years and planned to have a good drink with his brother-in-law Zhou Yongping.

Although Zhou Yongping's clothes are out of tune with this rural village, he is very honest. Because he loves his wife deeply, he also loves his nephew and cares a lot for him.Taking advantage of Jiang's father and Jiang's mother's absence, he quickly stuffed five yuan into Jiang Rui's pocket, and winked at him, signaling him not to tell his parents.

Jiang Jianjun has an upright temper and a good face. He doesn't like Zhou Yongping's big boss the most, but Zhou Yongping respects this brother-in-law very much.Always try to save face for him.

Jiang Rui nodded and smiled at his little uncle.

The sun shone through the dense grape leaves on the young man's face, and the young man couldn't help squinting his eyes slightly. He looked like a lazy cat, or a beast that was camouflaged and waiting for an opportunity.
