Chapter 2
The son wants to support his parents, but they are not there.
Similarly, if you give birth but do not support them, how can you be called a parent? Li Suniang now believes that people live not only for love but also for the responsibilities they have to bear. People can live without love, but they cannot abandon their responsibilities.
Supporting parents and educating children are responsibilities that should be undertaken.
Parents gave birth to you, raised you, and did their best to give you everything you need. When they are old, they only hope that their children can visit them often and chat with them. Even a brief greeting or a short company will make them very happy.
One should know that sheep have the grace of kneeling to suckle, and crows also know to feed their parents in return. If a person does not know what filial piety is, he is even worse than an animal.
The grace of giving birth should be returned, so raising children should not be abandoned.
Giving birth but not supporting them is an irresponsible behavior, whether as a father or a mother. Since one has decided to give birth, it means that the couple's thoughts are mature, not ignorant.
Li Suniang now does not approve of the original body's behavior of being full of love and not caring about her own children for love. She thinks such behavior is stupid and irrational.
Love can exist, but it is not everything for a person. Life is short, but it is not lived for a certain emotion or thing.
Live for yourself and live for the spirit.
Maybe everyone has different ideas! But now Li Suniang feels that life is short. It's not easy to come once, so she can't waste it.
Since the original body doesn't cherish it, then she will cherish the opportunity to be a human again. She will help the original body raise a good child and let the child grow up happily.
Now living in Li Suniang's body is a wisp of soul from a thousand years later, whose original name is Li Yiyi. Since they have the same surname, Li, they may come from the same ancestor!
Li Yiyi's family lives in a rural area on the edge of the city. There are grandparents, parents, and a younger brother who is fifteen years younger than her. Oh, and there is also a married aunt. Although the family of six is not rich, they live a decent life.
Her aunt's family is relatively well-off, and she has a good relationship with Yiyi's father, so she often goes home to give some money. Of course, their family doesn't take it for nothing. Every time her aunt goes back, she brings back some agricultural products from home in large and small bags. Although they are not worth much, they are not poisonous.
Her aunt married a man in the city. She grew up beautiful and capable. Anyway, from Yiyi's point of view, she is much more capable and smart than her father. Otherwise, how could she pass the civil service exam while her father was trembling in junior high school and almost couldn't graduate?
It was not easy to get her to study in a technical school so she could make a living after graduation; otherwise, she didn't know if she could get married.
Although her aunt has good conditions, is capable, and can make money, she is always different from her family after getting married. If she always gives money to her parents' family, even if her husband's family doesn't say it, they will always feel uncomfortable in their hearts, and conflicts will arise over time. So her grandparents tried not to let her aunt go back empty-handed every time she came back.
Her aunt always said that Grandpa and Grandma thought too much. Since she could give it to her natal family back, how could she miss her husband's family? They were both parents, so neither side would be left behind.
As for Yiyi's parents, they would not say much. Anyway, they would benefit from what her aunt brought back, and it was not their labor that was given away, so why not use it? It would be great if the family was harmonious. Why do they have to be so cunning?
Of course, with her parents' broad-mindedness, they could not learn to be cunning. In fact, from Yiyi's point of view, her parents were so broad-minded because they had good elders.
Yiyi's mother was the only daughter in the family, nine years younger than her father. She had never worried about anything since she was a child and had a job that could support her without being tiring. Her parents also repeatedly investigated their daughter's marriage and finally chose her father.
Although her father's job at the time was not very good and his salary was not high, Yiyi's grandparents were attracted by her family's upbringing and her parents' moral character.
Grandma said that if you have little money, you can find ways to make money, but it is difficult to change a family's upbringing. Marriage is not just a matter for the couple, it is the integration of two families that were originally unrelated. Different upbringing methods will cause friction between each other, which will lead to conflicts of varying sizes.
No matter how rich one is, you will still not live a comfortable life in a family where conflicts often occur. Women marry men in the hope that their future days will be beautiful and comfortable. If they live with anger in their hearts every day, who would want such a marriage?
Don't look at Yiyi's father. He didn't absorb the essence of his grandparents. He is just ordinary, but he is really a good person. He is obedient to her mother and filial to his parents. She didn't know how such a good man was picked up by her mother in the end.
She heard from her grandmother that before her father married her mother, others had introduced him to several girls, but every time after the blind date, there was no follow-up. Her grandmother was so anxious that she almost wanted to marry a foreign daughter-in-law for her father. Otherwise, such a big boy would be left alone, which would be so unfair to the ancestors of the Li family! Fortunately, someone took him in the end, which made her grandmother feel relieved.
When Li Yiyi was born, her father was very happy and spoiled her so much that even her mother was jealous. Grandpa and grandma also loved her very much. After all, her father was considered old, and the children of his age in the village were already in elementary school, and she was just born.
So, in the hearts of Grandpa and Grandma, her status suddenly surpassed her mother and father. Of course, her father's status has always been behind.
Yiyi's name was given by her mother, saying that this was their first child, and Yiyi was easy to write. When she went to school in the future, others would still be learning to write their names crookedly, but she would be able to learn it in one go. How great!
Her father was right because his wife was right. Besides, for a poor student, learning to write was really annoying, so he absolutely agreed with the name Yiyi.
Yiyi grew up slowly and started to go to school. Just as her mother said, when others were still trying to learn to write their names, she had already learned it.
But when she entered junior high school, she felt that her name was too childish, Yiyi, Yiyi, just like a child, as if she would never grow up. She seriously suspected that her mother was just trying to save effort and didn't want to use her brain to help her come up with a meaningful name, so she just gave it to her casually.
When she proposed to her mother to change her name, her mother brought out the same words she had said to her father, and said to her, "You think the police station is owned by your family, so if you want to change the name, then change it." If you have the ability, go change it yourself, she doesn't have that ability anyway.
Well, what do you mean this is your first child? Do you want to have a second one? It's been so many years; why don't you give birth to the second one? Yiyi was scared of her mother.
Not to mention that her mother is now fat and wide, and she keeps shouting about losing weight but never takes action. Yiyi said it would be better to have a second child, and maybe she could lose weight faster with the second child. You know, raising a child is not something you can do with words. It is laborious, and she can't sleep well at night. It is estimated that after some time, it can really help her mother regain her slimness.
Not to mention that Yiyi really mentioned this idea to her mother, but her mother gave her a pair of white eyes and the word "get out.”
In the end, Yiyi didn't change her name. It's not that she didn't want to change it, but it was too troublesome. She asked herself, and there were many conditions. She felt dizzy after hearing them, and finally, nothing happened.
But when she was sixteen, she really welcomed a brother fifteen years younger than her. She was so happy because she had an ally in the future.
This brother came quietly. When her mother found out something was wrong, the little thing had grown up. Although her mother was carefree, she was actually quite timid. Why didn't she get pregnant with a second child after so many years? It was because her mother wore an IUD, but she didn't know when it was removed, and then someone came.
Her mother didn't want to give birth to a child. After all, her daughter was so old, but she was afraid to go to the hospital for an abortion. Although it could be done painlessly, she couldn't resist the panic in her heart.
Although her grandparents didn't say anything explicitly, they still hoped that she could give birth to the second child. After all, the country has allowed the birth of a second child. As Yiyi grew up, the laughter of children gradually decreased at home, and the house seemed a bit deserted. It would be great if she could have a child.
Her mother finally decided on this tangle. She was going to be the Empress Dowager Cixi for a few months and let people serve her well.
The arrival of her younger brother made Yiyi happy and disgusted. She was happy that she had a little baby to play with when she went home, but she disliked that this little baby only knew how to eat and drink. When he was happy, he would nag her for a few words, and when he was unhappy, he would cry hard, and then he would sleep. He didn't understand when you scolded him, and you couldn't bear to hit him. In the end, you had to work hard to change his diaper.
The younger brother liked to stick to Yiyi and liked his sister the most. When there was something delicious and fun, the first person he thought of was Yiyi. This made Yiyi feel a lot more balanced, and she felt that she really didn't spend so much energy to raise him in vain. Yiyi helped to name her younger brother, and she didn't want her mother, who didn't like to use her brain, to give him a name that she thought was good.
Although Yiyi's academic performance was not perfect, it was better than her poor father and her mother who didn't like to use her brain. At least she could go to a second-tier university and take the postgraduate entrance examination. After all, she was a postgraduate student in the end.
It's a pity that all those years of studying were in vain. More than 20 years of life was just like a dream. In the end, nothing was left.
The familiar home and familiar relatives were gone. God was just playing a big joke on her, and then suddenly threw her to this completely unfamiliar place, and everything had to start from scratch.
She doesn't know how long her carefree and heartless mother will be sad. After all, her grandparents are old, and she was afraid that being too sad would hurt their health. And there's also the younger brother who always likes to stick to her…
As for her silly father…
Alas... She hoped my younger brother could take on the responsibility of comforting their parents.
Yuyu: I don't think I would be able to adapt to living a life without my family being a Phone call away.
