Chapter 2: 1970s sisters
Huo Xingchao woke up.
When he woke up, his mind was confused, and his memories seemed to have a magnificent and boundless space full of nebulae.
Then turn and turn, turn and turn by yourself.
At the end, a voice said to him, "You have to save them!"
save who?
Just as he was wondering, a burning sensation suddenly came from his wrist.
He raised his hand and saw that there was a small bright spot on the protruding bone of his left wrist.
Then the bright spot suddenly flew out of his wrist, flying in front of his eyes, as if he had lost his way.
After flying for about half a minute, it stopped in front of it.
Hit his Tianling cover.
Crackling, like a spark hitting the earth, there is an extra book in my mind.
— is the story of this world.
Huo Xingchao sat on the bed that wasn't very spacious and flipped through the book.
The light spot spun on the name "He Nian" again, and a stammering, crisp and tender voice sounded in his mind,
"You want, you want to save this person."
What do you think?
...... He Nian ah.
-He Nian is really a poor girl.
Since she was ten years old, her life has been in turmoil and chaos.
And all these misfortunes almost all originated from another girl: Jiang Xiaxia.
Jiang Xiaxia and He Nian are a pair of neighbors and sisters with special fate.
They were born on the same day in the same month and in the same year. They grew up in a village. They are very close, even better than their own sisters.
But one summer, Jiang Xiaxia sneaked into the river because she wanted to play, but she didn't step on it firmly for a while and choked on the water.
When she was fluttering in the water, she happened to be seen by He Nian's father.
He's father jumped into the water to save her, but Jiang Xiaxia, who was in confusion because of her foot cramps and choked on the water, was stubbornly suppressed, so she left her life in the water.
Jiang Xiaxia panicked and ran home to find the adults.
The family members were naturally shocked and guilty, and in a fit of rage, they beat Jiang Xiaxia.
After the fight, but because of selfishness, I dare not tell the truth to others.
Jiang Xiaxia could only be forced to stay in the house, and then Father Jiang pretended to be passing by and brought back Father He's body.
That night, Mother He, who learned the bad news, was still more than seven months pregnant, and she had a seizure on the spot.
She gave birth to a boy who was breathing weakly, but died in childbirth herself.
The two children lost their father on the same day.
No mother again.
And that year, He Nian was ten years old.
The Jiang family adopted her and her newborn brother out of secret guilt. In the days after that, treat them like your own children.
Later, in about 1973, Huo Chenyang, He Nian's doll, went to the countryside as an educated youth, and his family sent him to the nearest Shaping Village through operations.
—That is, the village where He Nian and Jiang Xiaxia live.
He said it was He Nian's fiancé. But in the process of going to the countryside, he gradually fell in love with Jiang Xiaxia.
But in He Nian's heart, who didn't know anything, she regarded the Jiang family as benefactors and Jiang Xiaxia as her sisters.
Therefore, when Jiang Xiaxia took the initiative to be frank with her and promised to break up with Huo Chenyang, she generously stopped Jiang Xiaxia.
He Nian gave up his fiancé and wished the two lovers a happy marriage.
In this way, the two of them are indeed lovers and finally married, so what should the Huo family and the doll of the He family do?
After all, when Grandpa He was dying after saving Grandpa Huo on the battlefield, it was Grandpa Huo who personally promised this marriage.
Mr. Huo tapped on his cane and disagreed with his grandson's "free love".
But Huo Chenyang is in love with life and death, how could he agree.
He suggested that it would be better for his younger brother to marry He Nian, which would be considered a joint relationship between the Huo He family, and then tried his best to persuade his parents and grandfather to agree.
However, who is Huo Chenyang's younger brother?
- Just a ruffian who is ignorant and loves to mess around with flowers.
In short, He Nian's married life was quite miserable.
Even later, the only son became a fool because of Jiang Xiaxia, and she learned the truth of her father's death at this time.
Under the multiple blows, the whole person turned black.
She began to take revenge on Jiang Xiaxia.
Of course, as expected—all without success.
In the end, instead, he betrayed his relatives, threw himself into the river and died, thus ending his own life.
......
After Huo Xingchao finished reading the book, his thoughts fell on the name "He Nian", and he paused, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a while, he asked, "Am I going to help her?"
The spot of light swayed, and then returned to his wrist. It no longer glowed and heated, and converged into the invisible.
The naive child's voice slowly sounded in my mind, "Yes!"
"Starlight value: zero percent."
......
It is estimated that the time is still very early in the morning, because the genius is bright, and when the quilt is lifted, there is a cold chill in the winter.
His bedroom is small.
Two beds, a desk, a wooden cabinet, and a large solid wood box.
There is a bookshelf on the desk with several elementary and middle school textbooks on it.
The cabinet is still open, and there are not many clothes in it.
Several shirts, some khaki and black trousers, some dark brown sweaters, and an army coat and two cotton jackets. There is also a set of winter clothes on the chair next to it.
All his.
In this era, it is already a very luxurious cloakroom.
It is now 1973, the first year that his brother Huo Chen masculinely went to the countryside.
—Well, that’s right, he is now that ruffian, Huo Xingchao, who is ignorant and loves to mess around with flowers.
Although he is only fourteen years old now, it can be seen from the textbooks thrown to the side on his desk and the snacks that take up a large space, this child is already a little bit of a jerk.
And Huo Xingchao doesn't look like an honest person.
The teenager held a tooth cup and wore an army green cotton coat.
Brushing his teeth in the cramped kitchen with a small mirror with missing edges and corners.
A handsome face was reflected in the mirror.
Thick eyebrows and thin lips, peach blossom eyes, and several folds of double eyelids.
Just like a **** who loves liberty and freedom.
In terms of appearance, Huo Xingchao followed his father, and his brother followed his mother.
But his father is also a piece of grass in the factory, his mother is, the main victory is temperament.
So since I was a child, I visited relatives every year for New Years, and adults liked Huo Xingchao's beautiful milk dumplings more.
The same goes for going out to play. Although Huo Chenyang was five years older than him and looked a little older, the friends still liked to turn around Huo Xingchao.
Maybe it's because of this growing atmosphere. When Huo Chenyang grew up, he became an honest and motivated workshop worker, while Huo Xingchao, a smart boy, turned into a gangster who wandered the streets.
......
Halfway through brushing his toothbrush, the door to the next room was opened, and a woman in a red sweater came out.
I was surprised to see him,
"Xingchao, why did you get up so early today?"
Damn it, Guan Shuyue. Work in a textile factory.
Huo Xingchao got so many sweaters for him because of this job.
Huo Xingchao rinsed his mouth, cleaned his toothbrush and cup, and came out of the kitchen.
"Didn't I go to school today?"
"Then you don't have to get up so early. You used to get out of bed in a hurry before it was o'clock, and your fever just subsided yesterday, or I'll ask the teacher for another day off for you."
Huo Xingchao had caught a cold a few days ago, and he was still restless at night. He secretly read the villain's book, stayed up all night and continued to get cold, and finally turned into a fever.
But in fact, after he took the medicine and lay down for a day, the fever subsided. The reason why he didn't go to class was purely because he was lazy.
Then I took more than half a week off.
His mother also let him, even for fear that he would not rest enough.
So, bear children are so used to it.
Huo Xingchao put on his cotton coat and waved his hand,
"No, I have missed too many classes in the past few days, I have to make up for it as soon as possible."
? ? ?
Huo's mother was surprised by her young son's rare positiveness.
After a while, he smiled again, thinking that maybe he had a fever like this, and his brain became clear, knowing that he had studied hard, so he patted his head,
"That's alright, Mom made you a bowl of egg custard this morning to eat with zongzi. I just brought back a chicken yesterday, and I'll cook it for you at noon today."
The living conditions of the Huo family are quite good.
Grandpa Huo is a retired soldier, and he gets subsidies every month. Not only does he not worry about his own needs, but he can also give a lot to his son and grandson.
But Huo's father never asked for it. He is a workshop worker, and now he is also a fourth-level worker. He has a salary of 50 yuan a month. Coupled with the **** work, Huo Xingchao and Huo Xingchao are the whole Huo family. Huo Chenyang's two children with no income.
It can be said that there is no need to worry about food and clothing.
Mother Huo was busy working in the kitchen while talking,
"I don't know what happened to your brother in Shaping Village. Now that the weather is cold, he brought a padded jacket, which is definitely not enough to wear. And your sister He Nian, there are so many people in the Jiang family, I don't know how to wear it. I don't care about her, she is such a small girl, I'm afraid she will be even more cold..."
Huo Xingchao raised his head from the book and smiled.
"Mom, when Grandma Jiang comes to the city next time, you ask her to bring something to my brother. You sent her so many things, is it not enough for her to do one favor?"
"What nonsense, I sent those things to your sister Nian Nian, and they kindly took over your sister to raise her, so you don't need to make arrangements for me here."
Huo Xingchao snorted lightly and said nothing.
Because of He Nian's sake, their family sent something to the Jiang family from time to time.
It's really strange to say.
In this book, it is written that the Jiang family treats He Nian well and regards it as their own, but isn't this what it should be?
The savings left by He Nian's parents over the years are all on them. The house is also lived in by their family. Every time the Huo family sends the two children, the Jiang family also receives it.
It doesn't matter what his mother sent, his grandfather sent a lot of things every time, at least it was more than enough to raise two children.
But He Nian is still helping with the work like Jiang Xiaxia.
The Jiang family got an extra house for nothing, and every child lived in a spacious room, but He Nian and her younger brother were squeezed into a small room.
Although there is also a younger brother here, He Nian can't rest assured.
But since he harmed his parents and took so many benefits from him, in the end, he had to pretend to be kind and caring.
How frustrating.
"Hey, Xingchao, where are you going?"
"go to school."
"You don't have breakfast?"
"I don't want to eat, I'll save my stomach and come back to eat meat at noon. You can cook it for my dad."
"Hey, Star Dynasty, Star Dynasty?"
Mother Huo ran to the door without shaking off the water in her hands, but only saw her son's back, and couldn't help sighing,
"This child."
"Why do you like to run outside all day?"
