C1 Rebirth
In the early morning breeze, the roosters in the yard began to caw, the more worn curtains were half-open, a gray and old bed curtain was wrapped around a stone bed, a woman was carrying a child on the bed, a little girl was curled up in a corner.
Su Yun'er woke up from her nightmare. She endured the soreness on her body as she slowly got up. She felt that her entire body was uncomfortable and sat blankly on the edge of the bed for a while.
When she finally woke up, Su Yun'er got off the bed and found her shoes. They were a pair of shoes so old that their toes were exposed.
Su Yun'er looked at her exposed toes, fidgeted a little with her toes, pursed her lips, and quietly went to the side of the water jar to scoop a bowl of cold water to drink.
Her steps were light, every step measured like a ruler, as if she had been trained. Her movements were light, as if she was afraid of waking the mother and child who were sleeping on the bed.
Su Yun'er walked to the side of the water vat and scooped up a bowl of water. She saw the reflection in the vat and stared blankly at it for a long time.
Reflected in the water was a thin young girl around eleven or twelve years old. She had a slender figure, and on her face were traces of being unable to eat her fill. Her appearance was very elegant, but she was too skinny to be seen. His hair had just woken up and he was a bit fidgety. It was yellow and withered, and he looked thin and soft.
It was obvious that she was a village girl. Su Yun'er looked at her yellow face, thin and straight back, before lowering her eyes, hiding the uneasiness within them. She lowered her head and looked at herself in the water. Only after a while did she regain her senses. She picked up the bowl and gulped down a mouthful of water.
Threads of coolness flowed down her throat, dispelling the night's heat, and also dispelled the sliver of confusion in Su Yun'er's eyes.
In the reflection of the water tank, she hurriedly combed her hair, then stood up and went to the courtyard.
There were no candles in the countryside, so Su Yun'er had no choice but to use the weak daylight to scoop up a bowl of the grain husk and feed it to the chicken coop.
The dim light of the day vaguely shone on her face, causing her sallow face to appear somewhat thinner and prettier, but no one was paying attention to her at this time. Most of the villagers were sleeping, and only a small portion of them were like her, getting up to feed the chickens and ducks and pigs.
Su Yun'er looked at the dung all over the place inside the chicken coop and frowned, a hint of disgust appearing in her eyes. He stood there blankly for a while, but he could only roll up his sleeves and work. He had no other choice. In this village, if a woman did not do these things, she could only be sold.
It had been a year since Su Yun had become this peasant girl. She was still unable to adapt to this remote and backward environment and to the impoverishment of her life.
Su Yun'er couldn't understand what was going on. She was clearly the Peace Princess of Yi Country, and was on the verge of dying from a serious illness. The day she closed her eyes, she thought that she was free.
Perhaps in her previous life, she felt a little more at ease. As the most respected princess of Yi Kingdom, her marriage was just a bit bumpy. She didn't lack food or clothes.
With that, he closed his eyes. Three years later, in Yi Kingdom, he had gone from a princess to a poor girl.
In this poor village, she sometimes found it funny, but she didn't know how to react in her previous life. Even though the Prince Consort, General Xiao Yumiao, was a little cold towards her, and he didn't even try to change his words a little.
But now that things had come to this point, she felt that there was still hope. There was still hope to leave this small village.
Perhaps, without the memories of her previous life, she could live a bit more comfortably. As a poor girl, she would only think about how to eat her fill, how to save up for her dowry, and how to get married into a good marriage.
Instead of doing your job every day while looking down on yourself and thinking about how to get out of here.
Su Yun'er waved her broom, sweeping up the dung that was filled to the brim, and then filled the chicken pot with the Valley shell.
After washing her hands, she busied herself for a while. It was already dawn, but the work she had to do this morning was not done yet. She still needed to cook for her family.
Su Yun'er looked at the already bright sky and knew that it was already much more late than usual. It was probably because she had just been engrossed in her thoughts, but time quickly passed by and she had to quickly prepare breakfast.
Su Yun'er rolled up her sleeves, revealing a slender wrist. This body of hers was not very valued at home, and was thin from eating too little. The eleven or twelve year old girl looked to be around eight or nine years old.
Su Yun'er picked up her kitchen knife and prepared to cut the vegetables. Her hand was small, and she couldn't even hold one of it. She wanted her two small hands to grip it with all her might.
"Dong Dong Dong …" Su Yun had finished cutting the dish, and used his sleeves to wipe the sweat off his forehead. She carefully carried the cut dish around, and carried a small stool over to the counter, and threw the dish into the iron pot. She stared at the pot with her eyes wide open, and stared at the sizzling pot.
Su Yun'er couldn't cook.
In her previous life, she had lived like a princess for more than ten years. Let alone cooking, she hadn't even been to the kitchen, so she definitely didn't know how to cook. She was a poor girl now, eleven or twelve years old. She should be old enough to cook.
Although the family didn't value girls, they still hadn't allowed her to work with them. Recently, she had gotten better, and her sister-in-law who was in charge of cooking at home had given birth to a child. She had to sit in bed for a long time before she finally took over the cooking.
After being busy for a while, Su Yun'er brought out the dishes and tasted them. They were very light, probably because she had forgotten to add salt.
Su Yun'er frowned and thought for a moment. She was sure that she had forgotten to put salt in it, and that she couldn't redo the dishes after pouring them out. It was too wasteful. He could only put it aside and take out the salted radish from his house a few days ago and put it in. He could only force himself to eat it like this.
The rural families were poor and could not afford to eat white bread and rice. If the people here had a family to eat a mixed noodles or a big bowl of rice, they would be considered slightly richer.
Su Yun'er's family was especially poor, at first it was okay, but then she got sick every few days. The family didn't care about her, but they couldn't ask her to die just like that, they could only give her some common medicine to see if she could survive.
She was fine. Second brother had married a new wife. His family fortune was all gone in an instant. Now, he only had rice soup for breakfast.
After Su Yun'er finished serving the meal, she went to each room to call for people.
Su Yun'er's mother passed away very early in her life, and she had already left before she even came over. Father was called into the army and died on the battlefield four years ago as well, leaving Su Yun behind, who was dragged up by his uncle and aunt.
It was a good thing that this uncle and aunt weren't heartless people. They had raised Su Yun'er when their family was still poor. Although they didn't take her seriously, as long as they stuttered, they shared it equally with their children.
Otherwise, Su Yun'er wouldn't have been able to wait for Yi Shiya to take over her body.
Rustling and rustling sounds came from within the room. It was likely that her voice had awoken someone, and not long later, a figure that was like a small cannonball scurried out of the room, directly smashing into Su Yun'er's embrace.
"Aunt!" "Playing ball!"
A little boy was shouting as he climbed up Su Yun'er's body. This was a child from a big brother's house, named Hu Zi. He looked extremely strong and strong. It was quite rare to see such a spirited child in a poor family.
Su Yun'er picked up Hu Zi and said, "Be good, Hu Zi. Sit down and eat first. Your aunt will play ball with you in a bit."
The little boy nodded in a decent manner. "Eat first, then play ball."
Su Yun'er picked up the bowl of rice soup and placed it on Hu Zi's bowl for him to eat.
Hu Zi ate a few bites before another person walked out from the house. It was his second brother's new wife, Lin Jiran. She had just given birth and was currently sitting on the bed for air. Today was a rare day.
Seeing the dishes on the table slightly scorched, she was also a bit puzzled in her heart. She was already so old that she could fry the food. When Su Yun'er got married, she wouldn't be able to cook, right?
Hu Zi turned his head to look at Lin Zundi and shouted: "Sister-in-law!"
"Sigh!" Hu Zi is so obedient. " When Lin Chendi saw Hu Zi calling her, she hurriedly responded. She had just given birth to a daughter and was currently feeling very uncomfortable. If Hu Zi could get closer to her, it would be great if she could get lucky and give birth to a boy in her next child.
She saw Su Yun'er sitting upright at the side, eating her food. Her back was straight, and from time to time, she would wipe Hu Zi's mouth. Although she was small and thin, her movements were fluid and fluid.
Lin Caidi was extremely curious. She didn't know how many generations of poor peasants in the Su Clan raised such a delicate girl. She didn't see anyone from the Su Clan sitting in such a beautiful manner.
After a while, everyone else had also arrived. They sat on the bench and quietly drank the rice soup from their bowls.
When Su Yun'er's aunt saw the vegetable paste, she asked, "Who cooked today?"
"It's me." Su Yun'er's eyes drooped as she spoke indifferently.
Aunt Li Chun Hua saw that it was Su Yun'er who answered, so she didn't say anything more. Her niece had been sick for the past year, and she had even lost track of herself after getting so sick.
She had grown up on her own, so even though she said that she didn't care, she was still a bit concerned.
Li Chun Hua ate the food and said, "I have to go to the town today and sell all the new food we have at home. My second brother and second brother will go, and my eldest sister will come with them to buy some things for me."
As she spoke, she glanced at Su Yun'er who was eating. This eldest girl was calling for her. Aunt's family only had two sons, while she was the only girl. The eldest girl had been calling her 'eldest' for many years.
"Alright." Su Yun'er replied, knowing that this aunt wanted her to go out and take a breather.
The eldest brother and second brother also agreed without a word. The eldest sister-in-law was not very happy, but she did not say it. After all, since the mother-in-law had spoken, she had no reason to object to letting her sister-in-law out.
Second Aunt felt a sense of novelty. Although the Su family didn't seem to like girls on the surface, they treated Su Yun'er quite well.
Everyone had different thoughts during the meal.
