Nineties.
A small coastal fishing village.
"Where's the water? Bring the hot water quickly!"
Song Ye sat blankly on the chair, watching the midwife busy in trance.
The basin was filled with blood.
"Ah~"
His wife's cry of pain woke Song Ye up.
I... wasn't I already dead?
Song Zhiyi was shocked and confused.
He remembered that he was diagnosed with terminal liver cancer at the age of seventy-five and died with regret!
"Am I...reborn?!"
Song Ye stood up suddenly and looked at the items in the hall excitedly.
The Phoenix bicycle that my father carefully maintained, and the sewing machine that my eldest brother saved up to buy when he got married.
There are also photos of grandparents hanging on the walls of the main room.
All this is so familiar and yet so strange.
Picking up the scarf knitted by his wife He Wanru next to him.
That carefully designed little red flower deeply touched Song Ye's heart.
"Song Ye! Song Ye! She gave birth! Mother and child are safe!"
The midwife's shout of surprise made Song Ye wake up from a dream.
daughter! ?
my daughter!
Song Ye took three steps at a time and rushed to the bed.
Opening the curtain, I saw the midwife holding the baby with a happy face.
On the bed, He Wanru looked pale, sweating profusely, and panting heavily as she looked at Song Ye who walked in.
Song Ye stepped forward and pulled the midwife away, walked directly to He Wanru and squatted down.
"Wan Ru, how are you? Are you okay?"
"I miss you so much..."
Song Ye held He Wanru's hand tightly, tears welling up in his eyes, and he had thousands of words in his heart, but he didn't know where to start.
In his previous life, he had high ambitions but low ambitions, and was lazy at home. Until he was forty years old, his wife He Wanru was still the breadwinner of the family.
Later, when the child grew up, he became more like a wild horse, having fun with his friends all day long.
On the other hand, He Wanru's illness became increasingly weak due to years of hard work, and she died at home in her early forties.
His daughter hated him for the rest of her life.
When he was diagnosed with cancer, he decided not to disturb his daughter and quietly left this world.
Before he died, he looked back on his life and realized how inferior he was to a pig or a dog. A healthy husband relied on his sick wife to support him. After his wife died, he relied on his daughter to support him.
Especially when his wife just gave birth to her daughter, she ignored her and immediately asked her to work in the factory. Because of this, his wife He Wanru suffered from sequelae.
If God allows him to live again, he swears that he will never be like this again, and will definitely become a decent husband and a dedicated father!
Replacing his wife He Wanru as the mainstay of the family!
"Is it a boy..."
He Wanru was a little flattered by Song Ye's sudden concern, and was deeply afraid that she would live up to his expectations.
Song Ye immediately took the child over and put it in front of He Wanru.
Under the care of the midwife, the child has fallen into a deep sleep. His little mouth is clicking and he is very cute.
"...It's a girl."
After hearing what the midwife said, her smile gradually disappeared.
He Wanru's eyes were full of loss and fear, and she carefully observed Song Ye from the corner of her eye.
"Daughter...this is my daughter..."
Song Ye carefully looked at the little life in his arms, and in the blink of an eye he seemed to see his daughter playfully asking for pocket money when she grew up.
Thoughts were swirling. At He Wanru's funeral, her daughter pointed at him with great grief and called him a loser as a father!
If Song Ye hadn't been idle all day long, how could her mother have died young.
I have never forgiven him in my life!
Dad is wrong. He will never let you mother and daughter suffer this time...
At this time, he hated the bastard himself in his previous life.
"It's my fault for not giving you a son, so don't be angry... okay?"
Seeing that Song Ye was silent, He Wanru spoke cautiously, for fear of offending Song Ye.
Song Ye was well-known in the village as a rough-and-tumble man who had a bad temper and favored boys over girls.
"What's wrong?"
"My daughter is very good! I like my daughter the most!"
He Wanru and the midwife's eyes widened. Aren't you, Song Ye, the most patriarchal person?
Before delivering the baby, you said you would beat He Wanru violently if she couldn't give birth to a son!
How come you have become your favorite daughter now?
"By the way, I almost forgot about this."
Song Ye put the child next to the bed, stood up, took out money from his pocket, and rummaged through his pockets.
In the end, he only found out a few dollars, and then handed them all to the midwife.
After thanking her, the midwife was sent out.
"This...is this kid crazy?"
The midwife looked at Song Ye's back in disbelief.
Song Ye returned to the back room and saw his wife He Wanru holding her daughter. The fear deep in her eyes hurt Song Ye's heart.
I remember that after having a daughter in her previous life, He Wanru was treated coldly by Song Ye all day long because of Song Ye's preference for boys over girls.
"If there's anything wrong with my daughter, I just like my daughter!"
Song Ye picked up his daughter and gently stroked her little face with a firm look in his eyes: "If anyone dares to say anything about my daughter, I won't destroy his family!"
He Wanru looked at her husband, feeling extremely shocked.
Is this what your husband would say?
Seeing the joy on her husband's face, He Wanru couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
How long had it been since she had seen such joy on her husband's face?
After a while, Song Ye's voice sounded again
"You can rest at home and confine yourself. I will go out to find a place to work in two days."
He Wanru was startled and said with some reluctance: "Dad and my eldest brother haven't caught any fish in the past few days when they went to sea. There is no food left at home."
"I'll go back to the factory tomorrow and continue working. It'll be okay. I'll go to Sister Wang to borrow some money to top it off later, and I'll pay it back when I get paid next time."
He Wanru said and prepared to stand up.
"No! Just rest at home!"
Song Ye pressed her down.
In He Wanru's confused eyes, he looked firm: "Tomorrow I will go to sea with my father and elder brother, so you can stay at home and take good care of me, and wait at home to count the money!"
"I should be the pillar of the family!"
...
evening.
Song Ye sat in the yard, smoking a cigarette melancholy.
Making money to support a family is easy to say, just say it with your lips.
But it’s so easy to actually do it!
But fortunately, I live in a good era!
In the early 1990s, the country fully opened up trade, and coastal cities sprang up one after another. The speed of development was terrifying.
Foreign investment, foreign trade, Internet...
As long as Song Ye can seize the opportunity, it will be easy to support his family, and his career will be just around the corner!
But the most critical problem right now is that he doesn't have a dime in his pocket.
The money for my daughter’s milk powder is not available.
Everything is difficult at the beginning. Without start-up capital, everything will be a dream.
What's more, the family still owes a lot of money.
In the final analysis, we still need to get some money to solve the current problem first.
Song Ye took a deep breath of cigarette, and suddenly, an incident from his past life flashed in his mind.
If he remembered correctly, there was a tide of large yellow croakers in the past few days!
Large yellow croaker is quite rare, and rarely appears near the harbor!
You know, the price of wild large yellow croaker is quite high. Even in later generations, the price remains high!
Zhang Dahai, who lived in the same village in his previous life, was lucky enough to seize this opportunity and caught hundreds of kilograms of large yellow croaker near the fishing port.
He immediately became the richest man in the village, built a new house, married a wife, and became extremely prosperous for a while.
If you seize this opportunity, you can make tens of thousands of dollars at once!
The problems you are facing now will be solved!
Thinking of this, Song Ye quickly walked into the room and flipped through the calendar.
At first glance, the day when the big yellow croaker appears is actually tomorrow!
Song Ye was overjoyed.
