The Age of Rebirth: Struggle of the Eldest Daughter

Chapter 8 Su Xusheng, Hello
Su Manjin woke up and stretched.The sky was bright outside the window.

The clock in the hall pointed to eight o'clock.

Su Manjin hurriedly washed up and had breakfast.

Seeing himself in the mirror, his little face was rosy, and he felt inexplicably happy.

In her previous life, she was busy and had to deal with continuous problems. She rarely slept peacefully, and even suffered from severe insomnia once.

To live a new life, she wanted to relax herself, live as she wanted, and not be as tired as in the previous life.

Although, the business needs to be done.However, the state is better.Mood, be beautiful.

Su Manjin hummed a song and went to the kitchen. There was steamed sweet potato left by her aunt in the pot, and it was kept warm with firewood. It was delicious.

After finishing breakfast, Su Manjin came over to her mother's grocery store, planning to start designing the opening flyer.

She has to sort out the key products, unit prices, and opening event prices of the planned products first, and then go to the copy shop in the town to borrow a computer, find some pictures and typesetting them, and then print them to make a store that belongs to their "Meiyue Shi grocery store". Leaflets.

Su Manjin took a homework book of her own, and began to write and draw on the blank space on the back.Pause every now and then to ask Zeng Meiyue the prices and discounted prices of specific items.

It took an hour, and a simple version of the "Great Opening Bonus" leaflet came out.

Zeng Meiyue saw that her daughter was full of energy, so she let her go.

Su Manjin greeted her mother, put on her scarf and hat, tore off the leaflet she drew from her homework book, put it in her pocket, and quickly set off to the printing shop in the town.

It takes nearly 40 minutes to walk from home to Jingfeng Township.But there is a road all the way, so Zeng Meiyue is not worried.My daughter usually walks to school by herself.Although the town is farther away, it is not dangerous.

Su Manjin looked at both sides of the road as he walked. The grocery store at the intersection, the motorcycle repair shop at the corner, the tailor shop and dental clinic in Kangcuo Village, and the bookstore at the entrance of Jingzhong Primary School were all in his memory.

After nine o'clock in the morning, everyone has already opened for business, and they are all busy. They are a group of people who work hard for their lives.

When Su Manjin walked down the big slope in Zhangcuo Village, she felt a little tired. She was young and walked too fast at once, and she was panting. Seeing the stones on the side of the road, she hurried over to sit down and rest for a while.

Patting her sore calves, looking at the [-]-meter-long slope ahead, Su Manjin sighed, thinking that there was still half the distance to go.Still too young and lack of exercise.

In the last life, I won the 100m, 400m, 800m and 1600m championships in the junior high school and high school sports games.

Su Manjin shook her head, her eyes inadvertently turned to the figure walking in the distance, hey!
A boy came slowly down the slope ahead.

He had one hand in his trouser pocket, and a piece of dogtail grass dangling from his mouth, which swayed on his cheek as he walked.

The boy was taller than himself by visual inspection. He was wearing a black coat, which seemed to be getting hot from walking. Two buttons of the coat were unbuttoned, revealing his slender neck.

His hair was a little long, and he bowed his head slightly, covering his eyes.It seems that there is something unhappy, the corners of the mouth are tightly pursed, and there is a sense of sadness in the whole person.

Su Manjin watched him approach slowly, and her eyes fell on the bruise on the back of his hand.Thinking of what he told her in the previous life, she couldn't help feeling tight in her chest.

Su Xusheng was in a bad mood today.Parents finally went home on weekends, and finally he and his brother no longer had to eat the homemade raw rice.But dad got drunk and started again yesterday.

Last night, my mother saw that he drank a little too much, so she put away his wine. As a result, my father swept all the dishes and bowls and chopsticks on the floor, and beat my mother by pulling her hair.

He rushed up to protect his mother and begged him to stop beating, but was pushed to the ground.

After my mother pulled herself to hide in the room, the angry father kept beating on the door outside, yelling and cursing, and the noise didn't stop until midnight.

Su Xusheng tugged at his collar irritably, and took a deep breath.

He didn't understand why Dad drank and why he beat people after drinking.

He just thought that when his mother was working outside with him, he would be beaten like this, and he felt like he was going crazy.

And when I got up in the morning, those neighbors with pitying, mocking, and watching eyes, as well as the gossip voice that was deliberately suppressed when they saw him pass by, pointed and pointed: "That is Su Yuhai's son".
It all smothered him and made him want to flee.

"Hello~Su Xusheng~" came the girl's brisk and melodious voice.

Su Xusheng was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look in the direction of the voice in doubt.

Some small wildflowers grew beside the stone on the side of the road. The girl seemed to be sitting on the stone to rest. She was holding a small pink flower in her hand and was looking sideways at herself.

Her eyes were clear and her smile was bright, like a ray of light, it hit his eyes.

Su Xusheng couldn't help blinking, and forgot to take off the dog's tail grass near his mouth.

"Puchi~" Su Manjin looked at the boy in a daze, and couldn't help but laugh.

It's hard to imagine that he was like this when he was a child.

In the last life, when I met him, he was already 13 years old, just in the second year of junior high school.

At that time, he slept in class, played around after class, and beat customs in the dormitory at night-from the first to the last room of the student dormitory, and beat anyone who was upset.

A proper grade bully.But after getting to know her, he pursued her youthfully and earnestly.

I didn't skip class anymore, and I didn't sleep in class anymore, and I started to study late seriously.

In order to write a love letter, I started to learn Chinese first, and regarded writing as an exercise in writing.

Playing a game of basketball before self-study, she has to look back to the direction of the teaching building countless times, because she is reading in the morning by the wall of the corridor outside the classroom.

During the break, I went to her class to find a classmate, just to have a look at her.

Once, on the way home from evening self-study, she was stopped by a group of boys, and he chased after her to help her out.Only then did she know that he followed her far behind every day, escorted her home, and then went back to school over the wall.

In the third year of junior high school, on her 14th birthday, he bought her a teddy bear and a cake as birthday presents with two months of living expenses saved.After 15 years, they got married, and she moved the teddy bear to their wedding room.

Later, in the tense and busy third year of junior high school, she took time off to help him with English tutoring during the winter vacation, and agreed to work hard together to go to the county town to study in high school.

Unfortunately, after graduating from junior high school, he still dropped out of school due to family reasons.She was admitted to the county No. [-] middle school alone.

In the three years of high school, she was busy studying and catching up with the rankings.And he was forced by his family to learn to be a mason.They cut off contact.

When she was a freshman, he contacted her suddenly, saying that he was going to serve in the army, and asked her if she could come see him off.

She knitted a scarf for him with her own hands and wrote a blessing card.

It was inconvenient for the army to talk and write letters, and they didn't have much contact in those two years. He occasionally left a message on her QQ space to say hello.

Later, I heard that he was discharged from the army. My friend said that he would ask her about her recent situation from time to time, but he did not contact her.

Until the day before she graduated from university, he called and said that he had come to Xiamen and asked if it was convenient for her to meet.

Later, one day after the marriage, she saw the little card in his wallet.

"Brother Sheng, this is my first time knitting a scarf. It may not be very good, but I hope it will replace me and surround you with a lifetime of peace and happiness."

The corners of the card were a little damaged, and the handwriting was a little blurry, yet he kept it carefully.

Su Xusheng once told her that the luckiest thing for him was to meet her when he was 13 years old.

Su Manjin sighed and called him again.

"Su Xusheng, why are you in a daze? Let me say hello to you~"

The girl looked at him coquettishly, and Su Xusheng blushed suddenly.He was a little at a loss, but also a little pleasantly surprised, because she looked at him - clean and soft, with sincere concern.

"You, how do you know my name?" He asked softly, his voice a little nervous.

"Of course I know," the girl said with a smile, "I'm from Sujia Village, and my house is next door to your aunt's."

Su Xusheng's aunt did indeed marry into Sujia Village, just two courtyards away from Su Manjin's house.The two are cousins, and according to their seniority, Su Manjin had to call her aunt.After the two got married, she followed Su Xusheng to call her aunt.

"Oh, then why are you here? Also, what's your name? I haven't seen you before when I went to my aunt's house." Su Xusheng's continuous questions made Su Manjin laugh.

"My name is Su Manjin, the romantic Man, the bright future Jin. You have to remember."

"You haven't seen me before, maybe it's because of a coincidence, then you saw me today."

"I'm going to go to the town, do you want to go with me?"

Su Xusheng followed Su Manjin and walked back to the top of the slope before realizing, why did he have to accompany her to the town?Don't you want to go to your aunt's house to relax?

Forget it, let's just accompany her, she is a little girl who ran so far away, and she has nothing to do anyway, so going with her is just a relaxation.

Mainly because it's easy to get along with her.Walking beside her, looking sideways at the corner of the girl's crooked mouth, she is really like a ray of sunshine, dispelling the haze in my heart.
