"Mom, Mom, are you okay? Don't scare me, wake up quickly." A young and frightened female voice kept crying in Su Zhan's ears.
Su Zhan was so upset by crying that he forced himself to open his eyes. The first thing he saw was a roof covered with tiles. The tiles were not evenly laid, causing the sunlight from outside to fall into the house and turn into dots of light.
.
"Mom, you're awake." A surprised voice came from the side. "Do you want some water? I'll get you some water."
After finishing speaking in one breath, Su Zhan only heard the sound of footsteps getting farther and farther away, and then in less than ten seconds, a figure ran back like a whirlwind.
"Mom, you drink water." The visitor handed her an iron bowl filled with water.
Su Zhan followed the action of drinking water and quietly observed the little girl who handed her the water.
The little girl is very thin, with dark skin and yellow hair. She is a typical symptom of malnutrition.
This is the eight-year-old Liu Xintong, the daughter of the original owner Liu Cuilan.
But in Su Zhan's view, this little girl didn't look like she was eight years old at all. Instead, she looked like a six or seven-year-old child.
"Mom, I don't want to go to school, can I continue to help you?" Liu Xintong said almost pleadingly.
"Nonsense." Su Zhan's face sank. Although a high degree of education does not necessarily guarantee a bright future, illiterate people who do not study will definitely have fewer future prospects than those who have received higher education.
Liu Xintong is eight years old this year. At this age, it is not too late to enter the first grade of primary school in rural areas at this time.
The original owner attached great importance to children's education. She gave birth to two children in total. The older one was ten years old and had already entered primary school. The younger one was the one in front of her. She planned to send her to school in two days.
Liu Xintong lowered her head. She knew her mother would never agree to her request, but she still couldn't help but give it a try.
No one knows how scared she was when the villagers informed her that her mother was unconscious in the field, fearing that her mother would never wake up.
Just when the two people in the room fell into silence, a person suddenly came in hurriedly from outside the room and said, "Mom."
The person who came in was Liu Xinxuan, the eldest son of the original owner. As soon as he heard that his mother had fainted in the field, he immediately stopped studying and rushed back.
The original owner would rather work himself to death than allow his children to neglect their studies, so Su Zhan had a sullen face and said displeasedly, "Why are you back?"
Liu Xinxuan's hurried footsteps stopped immediately. Like his sister, he had dark skin.
However, the original owner is a famous Yi Zhihua in Xiaoliu Village, with a beautiful and elegant appearance. Her children have her genes, so even dark skin cannot hide the beautiful outline.
Liu Xinxuan seemed a bit taciturn compared to his sister. He breathed a sigh of relief after seeing his mother safe and sound, and then slowly walked over.
"Mom, are you okay?" Liu Xinxuan sat down next to her sister.
"I'm fine. It's just that the sun was too hot and I got a heat stroke." Su Zhan shook his head and then said, "Since I'm back, let's have lunch first and continue going to school in the afternoon."
After saying that, she got out of bed and planned to make lunch.
"Mom, you rest first, I'll go cook." Liu Xinxuan said in a low voice.
Although he was only ten years old, the original owner was the only adult in their family. He was busy clearing the fields on weekdays and had no time to cook.
Therefore, when the original owner was busy, Liu Xinxuan did the cooking.
Before Su Zhan could call him back, the little boy ran out like lightning.
"Mom, I'm going to help my brother, please rest for a while." After saying this, Liu Xintong also left in a hurry.
Su Zhan pressed his forehead, then closed his eyes and began to sort out the memory of the original owner.
The original owner's name is Liu Cuilan, a native of Xiaoliu Village.
The original owner's mother was also a famous flower when she was young. Unfortunately, this flower was not picked by the young people in the surrounding villages, but instead benefited the educated youth who came to the countryside.
The educated youth is fair and tender, and has good conversation skills. His gentle and polite appearance made the original owner's mother like him immediately.
Looking at the appearance of the original owner, you can tell that the original owner's mother is actually a pretty good-looking girl. After going back and forth, the two of them fell in love.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. After the original owner's mother became pregnant, the educated youth patted his butt and returned to the city, and there was no news from him again.
After the original mother's belly grew, she couldn't hide the pregnancy even if she wanted to.
This was a big deal. The original mother got pregnant out of wedlock and was scolded as a worn-out shoe with a bad reputation.
The original owner's grandma and grandpa only had a daughter like the original owner's mother. In addition, he felt sorry for the original owner's experience. Hearing the gossip of the villagers, he was temporarily stimulated, and the old man left quickly.
The original owner's grandmother gritted her teeth and took care of the housework for her pregnant daughter, but she didn't know whether she was ruthlessly stimulated by the man's extraction, or whether she felt sad and guilty about her father's death. In short, she had a fetal contraction and gave birth prematurely.
She suffered from massive postpartum hemorrhage, and the original owner passed away after giving birth, leaving only the old mother and her newborn daughter with tears in their eyes.
Fast forward more than ten years, the original owner tearfully sent away his grandma who raised him, and went to work in the fields every day. Although the life was hard, he lived a peaceful life.
Unfortunately, the bad luck is not over yet. The original owner, like her mother, also met a gentle man and the two fell in love.
The original owner was even more unlucky than her mother. After her mother gave birth to her, she would be gone. If she died, everything would be over, so she didn't have to worry about anything.
But the original owner gave birth to two children one after another, and the man only left after having a wedding banquet and not receiving a marriage certificate.
I have to face two mouths that want to eat every day. Fortunately, the children are very sensible, otherwise the original owner would probably have lost his mind and filled the bottle with pesticide.
The original owner always felt that she was deceived because she was uneducated and did not know that in the outside world, a marriage certificate was required to be considered a real couple.
Therefore, she wanted her children to become educated people so that they would not have to be deceived like her in the future.
The original owner worked hard to support his two children in school, which was obviously an anomaly for a poor and backward village where their children could only attend junior high school at most.
Both children are very motivated, ranking first in the school every time they take exams, and only when they get a certificate every time, the original owner feels that all her hard work is worth it.
But as the children grow up, the issue of tuition fees has always been hanging over the original owner's mind, and he can't get rid of it.
In order to support her children's education, she plans to sell all her family's land, and she has even contacted a buyer.
But at this moment, she was suddenly diagnosed with terminal cancer.
The doctor told her she wouldn't live long.
The original owner sat stupidly at the door of her house for a long time, and suddenly cried. She had not seen the day when her children were admitted to college, so why was she about to die?
