Lingxi nodded happily.
"Thank you, Grandpa. My dad said you wouldn't be here for another two days!"
The old man explained: "There was a ride, so I took it and it went faster."
Lingxi didn't know what the ride was, nor did she know the old man's original position, so she didn't think much about it. However, Uncle Pei was speechless after hearing what he heard. This ride was probably the kind with wings!
This spans half of China!
Uncle Pei: "..."
But he had no intention of undermining the old man's cause.
The fact that he could arrive as soon as they needed him made Uncle Pei feel very comfortable.
Lingxi quickly asked someone to come in and opened Pei Yanning's bedroom. The old man lived like this during the Chinese New Year last year, and it was natural that he would live like this this time as well.
Uncle Pei lit the lanterns in the corridor, and seeing that Lingxi looked listless and dazed, he stopped her from following him.
"Go back to sleep."
He explained to the old man: "Lingxi just got home with us last night, and she didn't get much sleep." It was still early, and they would have to wait for a few hours before Lingxi's normal wake-up time.
The old man nodded and put the package he brought back to Lingxi.
"go to sleep!"
Lingxi nodded obediently. The main thing was to be obedient.
Uncle Pei rubbed her head and muttered, "Go, you don't need to worry about Hanhan and the others, your uncle is here..."
Uncle Pei and the others are very familiar with Hanhan, A Zhaoye and baby, so there is no need to worry about them not being able to adapt.
Lingxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, yes, I know!
Lingxi smiled, and before leaving, she remembered something. She placed the keys to each room that she had not had time to take out last night on the table, and told the old man to find them himself when he needed them.
Only then can I rest with peace of mind.
It's only about three or four in the morning now, it's really early.
however--
She didn't seem to have slept for long, and she saw the old lady again.
The old lady was wearing an indigo blue slanted-collared jacket that looked familiar yet unfamiliar to her, and she was smiling.
Lingxi looked at her intently, and a black-and-white photo hanging on the wall that she had seen deep in her memory suddenly emerged in her mind, and tears came to her eyes.
"Milk!"
She finally understood why she subconsciously felt that there was no old lady in the house.
In her previous life that she remembered, the old lady really died on the night she gave birth to Hanhan.
After she finished her confinement and waited for the flood to pass, she finally returned to the village. Only then did she know, but in the end all she could see were the photos hanging on the wall.
At this time, Lingxi finally understood why her fourth brother insisted on saving the old lady and why he said he would not let her have any regrets.
The old lady was smiling.
"Ling Xi'er! Don't cry."
She walked forward, took Lingxi's hand, and stroked her back again and again.
The old lady told Lingxi a story.
The little old lady is the old lady now, but at the moment of her death, she also awakened the memories of her previous life.
The previous life is both the same and different from the present.
In her previous life, she was also kind to Lingxi, but the news of Lingxi's birth could not be hidden from her. Although she was kind to Lingxi, it might be because Lingxi was blessed and knew that she could always make her wishes come true.
Especially when her health was getting worse day by day due to some reasons.
She doesn't want to die.
She thought of Lingxi. Lingxi was blessed. Her wishes always came true. Anyone who wanted to harm her would be harmed almost immediately. Her blessing could even benefit everyone around her.
She had tried every possible means to hide it from Uncle Pei, pretending that she was well again, and went to take care of the pregnant Lingxi.
What happened next was similar to this life. In her previous life, she was not scared and did not have a nightmare where she treated Lingxi as something in her dream. But she scared Lingxi for other reasons... and Lingxi also had a miscarriage.
In her previous life, on the night she died, before her soul left, she was brought into Lingxi's dream by a force.
The voice told her to say goodbye to Lingxi.
Her first reaction was that Lingxi was indeed unusual. Because she died so hastily, there were many people in her mind that she couldn't let go of.
She was worried about her three grandchildren who had no one to accompany them, Minghui who had no mother, and her several sons who were already getting older...
Only Lingxi is blessed by heaven.
She asked Lingxi to bless this and that...
But I don’t know if it was what she said, or it was not what the power wanted, she was taken away from Lingxi’s dream, and Lingxi was frightened by her and gave birth prematurely...
As Lingxi spoke, pictures appeared before her eyes, and finally stopped on a black-and-white photo hanging on the wall.
Lingxi couldn't stop crying and shook her head: "No matter what your reasons are, you are good to me and have always been very good to me, that's enough!"
The old lady smiled.
this life……
At the beginning, Lingxi's situation was kept secret by Pei Yanning and his second uncle Pei.
She didn't know Lingxi was special, and her love for Lingxi was entirely because Lingxi was the only child left by the eldest son of the Pei family, so she was relatively purer...
The old lady was distracted for a moment, but before she could say anything else, she felt a familiar pull.
Lingxi saw a beam of golden light falling, and the old lady's figure gradually turned into nothingness and disappeared from sight, leaving only one sentence: "The time is up, your father came to deliver milk and left!"
Lingxi woke up instantly, and seemed to see a blurry figure with long silver hair emerging in the void.
Lingxi hadn't come back to her senses yet when she was suddenly awakened by a burst of crying from outside.
The sky seemed to be a little brighter at this time. Hanhan, Azhao and the third child were sitting on the kang inside her, playing with toys such as the Nine-Ring Luban Lock and Tangram.
Lingxi was stunned for a moment, her mind still dizzy, but when she heard the noise outside, she didn't care about anything else, she quickly grabbed her coat, put it on and ran out.
The old man was just outside, playing chess with himself. When he saw Lingxi, he just said, "Go!"
When Lingxi arrived at the yard, it was already turning white outside and she felt a little dazed.
In the room, the second aunt and the younger sister-in-law were helping the old lady to prepare her remains.
Lingxi is a grandchild and was stopped outside by an aunt from the clan.
“Forget about the children.
Your second aunt and the others are here!"
Pei Fuzhu, who also came, grabbed Lingxi and said, "We have to kneel over here."
Lingxi didn't understand, so she knelt in front of the door with Pei Fuzhu. She didn't know who put mourning clothes on her. After an unknown amount of time, she was pulled up.
Lingxi had no idea what to do or what she could do throughout the whole process, but because there was always someone guiding her, she did not make any mistakes.
But as soon as I stood up, my vision went dark.
Pei Fuzhu held Lingxi in her arms.
Pei Jin noticed the movement here and came forward to take a look. He was anxious and angry: "Why didn't you say anything if you were not feeling well?"
He directly pulled people to Lingxi's room.
Many people who were notified came to visit one after another. There were too many people at home, so Lingxi's house was quieter.
Lingxi shook her head, still feeling a little groggy, but she didn't feel anything else. Her voice was just vague and unfocused.
"Brother, you go ahead and do your thing, I'm fine.
Maybe it’s because I didn’t cover myself properly with the quilt last night. I’ll just go find some medicine and it will be fine.”
She was groggy all night and didn't know whether she was asleep or not. I guess that's why she was tossed and turned all night.
