In the dream, she returned to the time when she was ten years old, before her grandmother passed away.
It was New Year's Eve, and my parents who had gone out to work were coming back.
She was very happy and got up early in the morning to start preparing the New Year's Eve dinner.
First, go to the vegetable field with the basket on your back and get all the vegetables that the chickens and pigs want to eat. Then chop it, add cornmeal, and fill the feeding trough.
After having some breakfast, I started cleaning the house. Especially the rooms of my parents and younger brothers, every nook and cranny must be cleaned.
The work is very detailed and takes a lot of energy to do it, but Yun Chu is happy and full of energy when doing it. In just one morning, the room was completely cleaned.
At noon, grandma made bacon stewed with potatoes. Yunchu ate two large bowls of rice until his stomach was round and he stopped only when he couldn't hold a grain of rice in his mouth anymore.
At this time, other families had already begun to burn incense and set off firecrackers to pay homage to their ancestors, but since his parents hadn't arrived home yet, Yunchu's home seemed particularly deserted.
But Yunchu was not sad. After washing the dishes and clearing the table, she went to the field to cut many green vegetables. There were radishes, Chinese cabbage, and cauliflower. As long as they grew well in the ground, she cut them all.
Because my mother always said that my brother is growing, so in addition to eating more meat, he also needs to eat more fresh vegetables, and she remembers it.
After all this work, when I returned home, grandma had already prepared the meat for the New Year’s Eve dinner. The grandfather and grandson were chatting happily while frying crispy pork, fried meatballs, and even making chicken feet soaked in feet!
By the way, this year's pickled pepper chicken feet were made by Yunchu herself. She learned from her grandma and wanted to make them herself. So that parents who come home can eat it as soon as possible!
At 5:30 in the afternoon, the bus back to the village was almost here. Yunchu took off his apron, holding the fried crispy pork in his hand, and jumped towards the entrance of the village.
It's so cold on New Year's Eve. It's not dark yet, and the wind with snow makes people shiver.
Yunchu squatted at the entrance of the village and waited for a long time before the three people in his dream came back.
"Mom, Dad, brother!!" She was so happy that she no longer felt cold all of a sudden, and almost ran over to give her parents a hug.
But the father was holding something in his hand, and the mother was holding her brother in her arms, and no one could hold her. She felt a little embarrassed, but she was still more happy, and she helped carry things sensibly, chirping like a little sparrow.
"Mom, grandma and I made a lot of delicious food. You can eat it when you get home."
"Dad, I made this year's pickled chicken feet with my own hands. You must eat more when you go back..."
"Brother, I am a sister, do you still remember me?"
"When are you leaving this year? Can you stay a few more days?"
She talked a lot. Although her parents didn't like to talk to her, she was very satisfied that they could hear those words.
When I got home, my brother ran to the yard to play. My mother took out the New Year's goods one by one from the sack, including snacks for my younger brother, toys for my younger brother, new clothes for grandma, and new clothes for Yun Chu!
Yun Chu couldn't wait to put on the new clothes. Although the clothes were a bit big and the sleeves and neckline were leaky, she would grow up and she could still wear this clothes for several years.
It was finally time to eat. At the dinner table, Yun Chu had been carefully observing the faces of his parents, hoping that they would praise today's meal.
But I never thought that what was waiting for me would be one word of criticism after another.
"This crispy pork is a bit salty..."
"This pickled pepper chicken feet has no taste. It's just a blind idea..."
"Who washed the bacon? It feels like it's not even washed..."
Halfway through the meal, my brother was dissatisfied with every dish. He simply threw his chopsticks and jumped off the table and started crying.
"Mom and Dad, these things don't taste good! I don't want to eat them, I want to eat KFC! I want to eat hamburgers and chicken legs..."
When my mother saw this, she quickly went to coax her.
"Okay, okay, we don't want to eat. Then, if Xuanxuan wants to eat anything, go get it from the snack bag." "Humph!" The younger brother pouted unhappily and walked towards the snack bag with a groan: "What is that? Eat to death!!”
My mother kept echoing: "Yes, yes, it tastes terrible. Xuanxuan won't eat it, ah."
Yunchu and his grandma carefully prepared a New Year's Eve dinner, but it turned out to be unpalatable to his brother.
Yunchu's mood was shattered, and the small emotions he had endured for a long time came out continuously.
She wanted to cry a little, but she couldn't cry when she looked up at her grandma's embarrassed smile.
After finishing the meal in a dull mood, she helped collect the dishes, wash them, and wipe the table.
Then I stood in the yard, enviously watching my brother set off fireworks.
Although he was in a dream, Yun Chu knew what would happen here. In order to prevent this accident from happening, she stepped forward to coax her brother and said, "Brother, let's not play with fireworks. How about we play hide and seek?"
"Hide and seek..." The younger brother frowned and thought for a while: "Okay! Then I'll hide, and you can come find me!"
Yun Chu nodded in agreement: "Okay."
After saying that, she walked to the door, covered her eyes, and started counting down: "I will come to you when I count to one hundred, so you have to hide!"
The younger brother ran towards the house and said, "Okay!"
But the accident still happened.
In order to hide more tightly, the younger brother ran behind the TV cabinet to push the cabinet, but accidentally pushed a pot of boiling water off the cabinet and burned his hand.
Mom and dad heard the sound and rushed over. Their first reaction was to slap Yunchu: "What did you do?! You can't even look at your brother? How can you let your brother be scalded with boiling water? You're a waste!"
After a familiar beating and scolding, they took their brother to the hospital. When they came back in the middle of the night, they also locked Yun Chu out.
In the ice and snow, Yun Chu knelt at the door. While listening to the cry of his grandmother in the house, he asked God, why didn't he die? Why can't we change reality if we try again?
"Yunchu."
At this moment, Xiao Songyan's voice sounded beside her. She raised her little face, which was pale from the cold, and looked over blankly: "Sister."
Xiao Songyan stood ten steps away, looked at her, and stretched out his hand to her: "Come with me, follow me to the management office. There will be food, drink, and a place to live. No one can bully you."
"No one can bully me..." Yunchu muttered numbly, and stretched out his hand almost subconsciously. But halfway through, she paused suddenly.
"No, I won't leave." A voice in her heart stopped her and told her that someone was waiting for her: "If I don't go with you, I don't want to go to the Authority."
Xiao Songyan sighed earnestly: "If you don't leave, then where are you going?"
"Where am I going..." She asked herself helplessly, using her hands that were numb from the cold to support her body and get up from the ground: "Where am I going, where am I going..."
She looked around, trying to find the answer.
"I'm going……"
Suddenly, a dazzling white light appeared behind her. She squinted her eyes and turned around, as if she was attracted by something, and suddenly started running desperately.
"Wait for me, wait for me!!" She shouted at the white light. Although she didn't know who she was talking to, she just kept talking.
"Wait for me! You must wait for me!!"
She cried and ran into the white light. Behind the white light was a vast forest full of life with no end in sight.
