Chapter 2:

Jiang Xiao smelled the aroma of fried chestnuts in a daze. He seemed to be asleep in the dark, and was suddenly pulled out by the aroma. The smell was sweet, and he drilled around his nose.

Then, he heard one after another hawking sound, which was recorded and played over and over with those kind of loudspeakers, sharp and very brainwashing.

"Chestnuts, fried chestnuts, fragrant and sweet, cheap and delicious, five yuan a pound!"

Jiang Xiao's mind was originally chaotic, but he was awakened by the high-pitched screaming. He slowly regained some sanity. The first thought was that there are still five yuan a pound of fragrant, sweet and so cheap chestnuts for sale. ?

Hey, I want to eat a little.

And this hawking sound was familiar to him after a long time. It was the dialect of Houlin County, his hometown, a small county in the middle of China. Since he dropped out of school at the age of sixteen and left here to work in Liujiang City along the coast, he has not come back, let alone heard the hawking of this dialect.

His head was dizzy, and then the cries of fried chestnuts poured into his ears mixed with other noises from the street. Jiang Xiao was so annoyed, he stretched out his hands to cover his ears, tried his best to open his eyelids, and woke up. , the rest of the feeling will gradually return to the cage.

The bed board lying under me is very hard. As soon as I lay down, I know that it is the feeling of sleeping with a layer of blanket cushion on the wooden bed board. In order not to be so stuffy and not too thick, and the private hospital of the happy tree is expensive and terrifyingly soft. There is no way to compare the niche luxury mattresses.

Next to the bed is a desk, which is a bit messy. There are a few textbooks of foreign language and mathematics and a blank test paper. Half of the ballpoint pen hangs beside the desk, and it won't fall off. Looking forward, there is a half-person-height battery in front of it. Fan, shaking his head slowly and sending air to the bedside, there is a wooden wardrobe in the corner, a red jersey is hung crookedly on the handle of the wardrobe, and a few good student awards are pasted on the wall, which looks a little old and dusty .

This room is not big, there are only a few things in total, but Jiang Xiao looked at it with an indescribable shock on his face.

He knew where this place was, this was his room, he was in junior high school, his room.

How can this be?

Jiang Xiao sat up struggling with dizziness. He just happened to look down and saw his hand, which was still immature and did not open up. Then he got up and looked around, and quickly saw his current state in the mirror in the room. look.

He was really sober at the moment and couldn't be more sober.

It is indeed his youthful appearance. Jiang Xiao was very tall when he was in junior high school. At this time, he was already about one meter seventy-five. When he was sixteen years old, he suddenly stopped and only grew four or five centimeters. About Mi Ba, but his face is very immature. Because he just woke up, his hair was messed up into chicken coops, his eyes widened because of surprise, and his mouth was slightly opened to reveal pointed tiger teeth, which made him look full of youth.

Jiang Xiao was both familiar and unfamiliar with his young face, he jumped in place, and then squeezed his face vigorously with his hands.

It hurts, not dreaming.

Height is not the point, the point is... actually reborn?

He had too many regrets before he died, and he really wanted to do it all over again, but he didn't expect that God really did it for him!

Jiang Xiao froze in front of the mirror. At this moment, someone knocked on the door of his room and whispered his nickname: "Nian Nian, Nian Nian, are you up? It's time for breakfast."

It's mother's voice.

This voice gave the sobered Jiang Xiao a real sense of going back in time.

There was a calendar on the desk, Jiang Xiao glanced at it. Hua Guoli is in 2002, and now he is only fifteen years old, and he is in the third year of junior high school in Houlin No. 3 Middle School.

Jiang Xiao put the calendar aside and wiped his face with his hands, showing a complex expression that seemed both painful and happy. The timing of his rebirth was very coincidental, which was the biggest turning point in Jiang Xiao's life.

Jiang Xiao's father was a long-distance truck driver. He was very hard-working, short-tempered, and looked very difficult to mess with. His mother was an accountant in a company and was very gentle. The combination of these two people seemed very incompatible. But in fact, they make up for each other, which is very suitable. It is about the fact that the two parties really love each other and really think about each other. The so-called external incompatibility is really not important.

Jiang Xiao has lived in a very happy family since he was a child. Although his father is often absent, he always prepares gifts for him every time he comes back. The truck driver earns a lot at this time. When he was a child, he had expensive toys. There is a brand of sneakers and jerseys, and my mother always has a smile on her face, as if she will never be angry. My parents take care of the home and outside together properly. The family is not rich and wealthy, but they have plenty of money. They have never been short of ginger. night what.

He was pampered by his family and grew up until his father had a car accident half a year ago and was not rescued.

Dad's unit has given some pensions, and my mother is still working, so the two of them can support it in life. But my mother couldn't take this kind of blow. She was not very healthy from the beginning, and her whole person became depressed. After her father left, his messy relatives couldn't hold back. She came over from time to time to ask for money. Soft, Jiang Xiao was young, and more than half of the pension was taken away. If Jiang Xiao had not noticed it in time, the other half wouldn't be able to stay.

But when the family suddenly changed dramatically, Jiang Xiao was only fourteen years old. He couldn't control his mood changes. He had nightmares for more than a year, and he was in puberty.

The first change was that he had no intention of taking classes, and his grades plummeted. His mother couldn't accept it, but he couldn't control him. Seeing that Jiang Xiao, a good student with excellent academic performance in the top three grades, fell all the way to the bottom.

The educational resources in Houlin County are average. The best or the only good public high school in the county is Houlin No. 1 High School. Jiang Xiao slipped out to play games in the middle school entrance examination. In the first high school, he had not been admitted to the other ordinary high schools in the county, so he had to go to a private high school in the south of the city. It was a school that would post a good news for three years after a second undergraduate. Jiang Xiao was mixed there. I made a group of unmotivated friends, and the whole person is getting worse and worse.

The mother is the one who cares about him, but she herself is already in extreme pain, and her son's degeneration has made her heart ache. When she couldn't stand it any longer, she called Jiang Xiao to wake up.

The incident when her mother fell on the hospital bed seemed like a blow to the head. Jiang Xiao finally got out of the two or three years of confusion. Her illness made Jiang Xiao empty all the money in the family, but he couldn't save it. He had no money to go to school. I didn't want to stay in that school anymore, so I left Houlin's hometown with my schoolbag and went to work in Liujiang City. I didn't dare to look back here.

This period of his junior high and high school was the most immature and chaotic period for him, and he regretted a lot. Perhaps because he lost too much at that time, he met a person he liked and cherished later, and he would not let go.

Now, the time of his rebirth is right in the middle of this period. He just entered the third year of junior high school at the age of fifteen. Looking at the calendar, today is the first day of the new semester.

Dad can't come back, but mom is still there. He still has the opportunity to change his grades and get into high school, and he has enough time to really make up for the regrets of his previous life.

It seems that because I haven't heard a reply for a long time, the voice from outside rang again.

"Every year, I can't stay in bed anymore, I'm really going to be late for school."

Nian Nian is his nickname, and they are not quarreling every moment. Mother is gentle by nature and speaks softly to him most of the time.

"...I'm here," Jiang Xiao said the first sentence after his rebirth, his voice a little hoarse, "Wait for me for a while."

He found blue and white school uniforms on the hanger. Huaguo's school uniforms are wide and have no shape. Students always dislike such ugly school uniforms. When Jiang Xiao put on school uniforms at this time, he felt comfortable and good-looking how to wear them. , he touched his neckline cherishly, feeling unspeakable joy in his heart.

However, at this time, he has a tall face and a good face. His shoulders are wide and his legs are long. It is indeed different from others wearing school uniforms.

The old house with three bedrooms and two living rooms in front of him came back after a long absence. He always had an indescribable feeling that it was far from the luxury of the small villa he bought with all his might, but he was still angry. My mother is very diligent. She tidyes up everything properly. The house is popular and warm. The scallion noodles cooked in the kitchen have a strong and delicious aroma. When Jiang Xiao was brushing his teeth, he smelled fried eggs. The taste, he remembered the taste of his mother's fried eggs, was better than anything he'd eaten since.

He brushed off his feather duster-like hair, washed his face with a towel, rinsed with cold water, and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

I'm back, I'm starting over.

Jiang Xiao thought.

He smiled in the mirror.

After he packed himself up, his mother had put breakfast on the table. Her eyes were still a little swollen, she glanced at Jiang Xiao, and then lowered her head.

Jiang Xiao guessed at a glance that they were probably arguing again last night.

"Let's eat."

Jiang Xiao sat opposite her, picked up the chopsticks, and said, "I'm sorry."

Mom was visibly stunned.

She was a very beautiful woman when she was young, and her name was also very nice. She was called Xia Wanwan. When she first got married, her husband spoiled her and lived a carefree life. She gave birth to a child and looked like a young girl. Jiang Xiao still remembered what her mother looked like at that time, dressed in a small county town. The beautiful dress that I can't see in her walks out, and the whole street is watching her.

But now she has been scolded by life and has no intention of dressing up, but it has only been more than a year, and her whole person has lost its luster.

"Mom, I'm sorry," Jiang Xiao said again seriously, her nose a little sore, "I should have said this long ago, I shouldn't have quarreled with you yesterday and made you angry."

His apology was over ten years late.

"...It's okay," he saw his mother laugh. "I forgot about the little things. Hurry up and eat, I'm really going to be late for school."

Mother urged Jiang Xiao to watch him bow his head quickly and earnestly to eat a bowl of noodles. He felt that he was very good today. When Jiang Xiao went to school, she gave him twenty dollars.

Twenty yuan this year is a lot for a junior high school student. Even if his father who can earn money leaves, his mother is not short of him. When he put the money in, he said softly: "Every year is outside. Buy something delicious, be good, don't make yourself wrong."

Jiang Xiao's eyes were sore, she couldn't help but hug her.

The woman who cared about him the most, didn't know how many words she said to him before her death, "Don't wrong yourself every year", but she didn't know how much grievances her beloved child really mispaid and suffered alone.

"I made you worry before, but I won't be like that in the future," Jiang Xiao sniffed, "I will study hard when I get to school."

The mother was a little surprised to hear his sudden assurance, but she was still very happy. She patted Jiang Xiaomao Zhaza's head, wondering why her son had changed when he woke up.

Jiang Xiao wouldn't say anything more at this time. I'm afraid she won't understand the rebirth thing at this time, so she can only think about it. He also wants to say that you don't have to worry about it in the future. Your father is gone, but you still have yourself. To be her trust, but rather than saying that there is something, he is more willing to prove his change with actions.

At least, change your grades to show her first.

He obediently went to school with his schoolbag on his back. Although it's been a long time, Jiang Xiao still remembers the road to Houlin No. 3 Middle School. It's not far from home. It only takes five minutes to walk there. After all, Jiang Xiao was confused when he woke up today. Then I heard a tinkling sound.

He hasn't been a student for a long time, and he hasn't reacted yet. His eyes have been looking at the surrounding scenes. The stationery shop at the breakfast stand next to the school gate is dazzling, with a real and unreal feeling.

At this moment, a gust of wind came from behind, grabbing Jiang Xiao's collar and running forward.

"Brother Xiao, don't be stunned, run! Don't you hear the bell?" Running over from him was a boy, about the same height as him, with a flat shaved head, hairy like a hedgehog, holding a Pancake shoved it into his mouth with all his might, "The dean is guarding the door on the first day of school today. He's a thief, he can't be provoked, and he'll be over if he's late!"

Jiang Xiao was pulled by him and ran forward, and stepped into the school door at the last second when the bell ended. Then the boy beside him relaxed and happily took the last bite of the pancake under the anger of the bald dean. Finished.

The boy's name is Ye Yingying. Jiang Xiao has a deep memory. He was his junior high school classmate, and he didn't like to read, but he had some money at home.

In my last life, when I was about thirty years old, the two met by chance. Ye Yingying was already a mediocre ordinary office worker. She came to Liujiang on a business trip to meet Jiang Xiao, and the two ate at a street stall. After a barbecue, the other party was already full of bitter things, and his eyebrows were all tired, and he was no longer like a teenager at that time.

The same table in front of me was obviously in the second phase of the middle school, stupid and brilliant, the school uniform was not well worn, and the collar was forcibly erected, feeling so cool, wearing a pendant in the shape of a wolf's tooth on the neck, and Ye Yingying one Turning around, Jiang Xiao saw that the school uniform he was wearing was not a pure school uniform. The large white area on the back was painted with a devil shape with wings and a crown. In all fairness, the painting was really good, if the eight characters were not added.

- Heaven and earth, I am the only one.

If you look closely, you can also find some icing on the cake on the sleeves of the school uniform, which is probably written down when you feel something.

For example, the sad and lyrical ones like "I can't learn to love", and "Wait for me to die" are very incompatible with the core values ​​of socialism, and there are others such as "Oh, just live passionately in this ruthless world." Jiang Xiao couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

After all, he is the heart of a man in his thirties, and he still couldn't adapt to it for a while when he saw the serious secondary illness.

But following the look, he saw that there were four flower characters on Ye Yingying's collar. After carefully identifying it, he found that it was "youth can expect".

Youth is expected.

Wish it were.

Just when he was observing Ye Yingying, Ye Yingying was also observing him, and was very dissatisfied with the way he wore his school uniform.

He forcibly stretched out Jiang Xiao's school uniform collar, just like himself, because it looked cooler, then looked at Jiang Xiao's bald school uniform with regret, and said, "Your mother gave you a look, right? Let's see what you see today. I'm not happy anymore, it's okay, I'll draw you a new one today, the cool one."

"No, no," Jiang Xiao came back to his senses from the daze, and politely pressed his collar back on the spot, "I'm not, I don't, I really don't need it."

Only then did he realize that the color of his school uniform looked a little lighter. If he looked carefully, he could see a little trace of it. When he was in the third year of junior high school, the Zhong Er energy that was about to destroy the world was comparable to Ye Yingying. It wasn't until he was beaten by life again that he returned to normal.

Thank you Mom for floating the school uniform, otherwise he would be embarrassed to go out today.

Ye Yingying looked at him strangely. He felt that Jiang Xiao was very wrong today. He couldn't say it, but he felt that this person looked different from before, and there was an indescribable depression.

In the next class, Jiang Xiao was even more wrong.

He is actually listening carefully! Is Jiang Xiao's brain caught in the door!
