Chapter 1 Return to the 17-Year-Old Rainy Season.

During the rainy season every year, the precipitation is generally heavy, and many fish in the rivers and ponds will swim into the fields and ditches along the fields.

On the old Eight Immortals table in the main hall, there is only a small bowl of dark salty vegetables.

As for his mother...

Shangwei?

The surrounding earthen walls, the green leaves on the roof... the old wooden bed, the old clothes by the bed, the old wooden table by the window, and two old chairs...

Fortunately, the bamboo forest village where their family is located did not suffer from a breach in the embankment. Several adobe houses at home were preserved, but the crops in the fields were all ruined. He remembered that all the farmland in their village was flooded that year.

Standing in the village and looking towards the farmland, it feels like looking at the sea, with a vast expanse of white, all water.

Phew, that's a relief! Big brother, it seems like your fever has subsided.

Furrowing his brow and opening his eyes, Xu Tongdao indeed saw his younger sister, Ge Yuzhu, sitting on the edge of his bed, with one hand still shaking his shoulder.

Today, just during the day, the burial took place. Until the burial, his younger brother, Xu Tonglu, was nowhere to be found, and no one could reach him.

It's just that the skin is very dark, the kind of dark that shines.

Younger brother Xu Tonglu has been sleeping on this bed with him since childhood, but now his figure is nowhere to be seen, so Xu Tongdao instinctively asked a question.

In such terrible weather, each household must send one person to the embankment to guard it. It is mandatory, and no household can be absent.

But his mother continued to cough for half a month after her fever subsided.

Take away all the pigs, chickens, ducks, and so on that he raised at home.

He doesn't care at all.

This younger sister... actually has no blood relation with him or his entire family.

Xu Tongdao blinked his eyes and remembered.

On the second day after his father suddenly disappeared, those creditors came to the door one after another, first asking if his father was at home, then demanding money. When they were not given any money, those creditors started to use force.

One is that they grew up together since childhood, with only sibling affection and no other feelings.

But that was already a thing of the past, and there was no way to change it.

Because in the dream, although his father disappeared, his mother, younger brother, and younger sister are still there.

Plus, his mother had just been buried. In the evening, he drank a little more, and he didn't know when he fell asleep, and then he had this long dream.

For example, his younger brother Xu Tonglu has always thought that his younger sister is very ugly since childhood, and he has never seen such a dark-skinned girl.

This incident changed the destiny of everyone in his entire family.

Xu Tongdao's brow furrowed again.

He is not tall, looks like he is about one meter seventy, with a slender figure and a hint of stubble around his mouth.

Xu Tongdao smiled, although the fever has subsided, he now feels weak all over, and the aftereffects of the fever are still present.

Just three days ago, passed away.

Sighing in his heart, he actually didn't want to wake up from this dream.

Anyway, he doesn't want his family's future to be so unbearable. His father left, and as the eldest son who is about to come of age, he is going to become the pillar of the family.

In the dream, his father suddenly disappeared. Afterwards, many creditors came to his house to collect debts, claiming that on the night before his father, Xu Weixi, went missing, he had lost money to them in gambling. On the same day, his uncle Xu Weidong's widow, his aunt, also disappeared.

My sister, Ge Yuzhu, touched his forehead, then touched her own forehead, and then he sighed with relief, revealing a joyful smile.

His colleague Xu has been divorced for 6 years and has no children.

He is determined to support this family.

He didn't think his sister was ugly, but he didn't end up marrying her for two main reasons.

Because it was this incident, because there was no money at home for medical treatment, he only took some fever-reducing medicine. He is young and healthy, so he recovered quickly.

Where is mom? And where is your second brother?

After all, it's not something that was done in someone else's fish pond.

With the chance to start over, he won't allow himself to fail like that again.

Except for his irresponsible father, the rest of his family is doing well.

Back then, the reason why his parents adopted her while she was still in swaddling clothes was mainly because the family was poor and worried that their two sons would not be able to marry in the future. So they adopted a girl from a young age, intending for her to marry one of their two sons when they grew up, to lighten the family's burden.

The direct reason was that there was no rice at home to cook. After sitting blankly for a long time, my mother suddenly got up and called him to go to the other side of the river to Tankou Village - his second aunt's house to borrow rice.

Perhaps it is a rebirth... or perhaps his original life was just a dream, and the life before his eyes is the real one...

All the crops in the field are submerged under water.

Therefore, his family had a particularly difficult year, with a significant decrease in crop production.

A slender figure, delicate features, black pearl-like eyes, and... a skin tone so dark that it shines.

Amidst the confusion, Xu Tongdao was clear in his heart that this was not just a dream, but also something that had actually happened to his family over twenty years ago.

This year's rainy season has had an exceptionally large amount of precipitation, causing many embankments in various places to collapse.

These are the previous appearances of his home!

That's right!

How did he return to the year 98? He is not clear about the reason, and he does not care about the reason.

Ge Yuzhu frowned when he saw that he didn't respond, and asked with concern while reaching out to touch Xu Tongdao's forehead.

At that time, he had just finished the high school entrance examination not long ago and was waiting at home for the results. However, his father suddenly went missing and left behind a large amount of debt. As a result, he was unable to attend high school. Afterwards, his high school entrance examination score came out, which was 594 points, enough to be admitted to County No. 2 High School.

Xu Tongdao sent his younger sister Ge Yuzhu away, then got up to dress and put on his shoes.

Xu is worried about his mother.

Occasionally, it will be sunny for a few hours, and then it will suddenly rain.

Still in the plum rain season, it rains almost every day.

You go out first! I'll come out right away!

What he is thinking at this moment is how to lead this family out of the current predicament.

My younger sister came to visit me.

Xu Tongdao had a dream, a very long dream. He hadn't had that dream for a long time, after all, it had been more than twenty years ago.

In order to achieve this goal, Xu Tongdao's younger sister does not have the surname Xu, but instead has her mother's surname Ge.

From the appearance, Ge Yuzhu looks quite beautiful. She has been slim since childhood, and her facial features have always been delicate. Her pair of black pearl-like eyes are especially beautiful.

Sometimes it's day and night, with continuous rainfall.

More distant memories suddenly came to his mind because of these two words.

Younger sister Ge Yuzhu came in from the back door of the hall holding a large coarse porcelain bowl, in which there was a bowl of very watery rice.

Staring blankly at the young girl in front of her, Ge Yuzhu, who was already in her thirties... but in front of her was a teenage appearance.

When his family encountered changes, it happened to be shortly after he finished his junior high school entrance examination. It was during the rainy season, specifically the rainy season of 1998.

The expression is plain, but the eyes are bright and spirited, with a sense of calmness.

Subsequent facts proved that the younger sister married the wrong person.

In an instant, Xu Tongdao was stunned.

Fever ?
