The sun is blazing white and dazzling.
The heat wave burned my face, and the ground was a little hot for my feet.
Ling Jiujiu finally adapted to the light and opened her eyes. There was a suitcase at her feet, and in front of her was the familiar gate of the community.
"Give me your luggage. Hurry up and take the keys and go upstairs to pee!"
An anxious voice sounded behind him.
Ling Jiujiu turned around and looked - her mother was Jiang Qiuying, but she was young Jiang Qiuying, with black hair and moist cheeks.
She was stunned for a moment, was she dreaming?
She had just left the funeral parlor holding her mother's ashes. Not far away, suddenly the world started spinning, and she opened her eyes and stood here.
It hurts to pinch my palms.
Everything in her field of vision was vivid and real. She stood at the entrance of Hongyun Community, and noisy music came from the convenience store nearby:
"I told you to be ruthless and use your innocent eyes. If you tell a lie twice, I will take it seriously..."
It's not a dream, it's rebirth...
She had imagined countless times what she would do if she could go back to the summer vacation when she was 13 years old. It was so pitiful that she actually went back to the day when the darkness of her life began.
Summer vacation of 2003, August 11, 2:30 pm.
Her mother accompanied her to Da'an City, the provincial capital, to take the piano exam and came back one day early.
After getting off the bus, she felt urgent to urinate. Her mother gave her the keys and asked her to run home and urinate.
As soon as she opened the door, two white people on the sofa were entangled together. When she saw their faces clearly, she was so frightened that she couldn't control her urine on the spot...
That was her father Ling Guozhi and her godmother Zheng Luomei.
Immediately afterwards, my mother went upstairs and fought with them.
Then, the parents got divorced, and the father used his power to transfer property, creating more than one million yuan in debt, forcing the mother and daughter to leave the house.
Throughout her adolescence, she lived an extremely difficult life, suffering from poverty, low self-esteem, abjection, being humbled to the dust, being insulted, and hurt...
This family upheaval, like chronic pain, permeated her entire life.
"Go quickly, are you in a hurry?" Jiang Qiuying took the schoolbag from her shoulder and urged her.
With the exact same urging, she was finally convinced that this was not a dream.
She's really back.
This time she decided not to go back to pee, even though her bladder was still warning.
"Mom, I left my mp3 on the bus!"
She pointed at the No. 21 bus that had just gone away and lied.
She decided to take her mother away and avoid uncovering the adultery for the time being.
The sun was shining brightly, home was right in front of me but I couldn’t go back, my mother was very angry:
"Ling Jiujiu! What can I say to you! You lose everything every day, and an MP3 costs hundreds. Do you think your father's money came from the strong wind!"
You are really right, Ling Guozhi's money came from the strong wind. Ling Jiujiu thought.
"Mom, leave your suitcase with the doorman first, and let's take a taxi and catch the bus!"
With that said, Ling Jiujiu grabbed her suitcase and ran to the small bungalow next to the gate of the community.
Uncle Su, the doorman, lives in the small bungalow. He knows everyone who looks down and doesn't look up all day long.
After placing their luggage, the couple got into a taxi. The bus they were chasing had disappeared, but Ling Jiujiu knew that the next stop was their school, and there was a public toilet next to the bus stop.
"Master, go to the Anzhou No. 1 Middle School bus station first."
"Why are you going to Anzhou No. 1 Middle School? Aren't we chasing Route 21?"
Mom is still complaining.
"Mom, Route 21 has a stop at Anzhou No. 1 Middle School. There happens to be a public toilet there. I want to go to the toilet."
Seeing her home getting further and further away, Ling Jiujiu gradually relaxed.
By the time she arrived at Anzhou No. 1 Middle School, all her willpower had been exhausted by peeing, and her lips and voice were trembling:
"parking."
She entered the public toilet with her legs crossed, her bladder reaching its limit, it even hurt a little when she peeed, and her whole body was shaking.
After coming out of the public toilet, Jiang Qiuying had calmed down.
When my daughter got out of the car just now, her face was pale and she was also frightened.
"Are you feeling better? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? Don't worry, we can't lose the MP3. Let's go back now and ask your dad to send someone to the bus company to ask." Her mother comforted her softly, stroking her back.
It can't be lost, the mp3 is in her backpack.
She smiled and leaned against her mother.
In this life, it was her turn to protect this silly Baitian.
"Mom, I'll catch up in one more stop." She continued to lie.
The next stop is Huanghe Road Station, where my sister-in-law’s family lives. She had already thought about it, and when she arrived at Huanghe Road Station, she pretended to be motion sick and got off the bus to go to her sister-in-law's house.
In short, I can't go home now, and I can't let my mother discover the adultery of that couple.
She was most afraid that her mother would make a big fuss like in her previous life, but she was unwilling to divorce.
The bright brand is not good for their mother and daughter.
The same cards must be played differently in this life.
As soon as she passed the traffic light at the intersection of the Yellow River, Ling Jiujiu covered her head and leaned on her mother's shoulder:
"Mom, I'm very dizzy and motion sick."
"Ah?! Why are you still motion sickness? Is it heatstroke?" Her mother nervously touched her forehead.
Her daughter is her life.
The taxi braked and the driver looked impatiently at the back seat:
"Are you motion sick? Don't puke on my car. Pay the fare first, 6 yuan."
"Hey, don't leave us here on a hot day!" Jiang Qiuying said.
"Sister, your daughter is going to vomit soon. What should you do if she vomits in my car? I just washed the car yesterday! Just go down and get some fresh air. Come on, come on!"
Under the bright sun, Ling Jiujiu pulled her mother out of the car.
My sister-in-law's house is in a community east of the intersection, three minutes away.
Naturally, they went to their sister-in-law's house.
