Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around

She traveled through time, dreams and reality lingering in her mind, tangled and intertwined. Her heart was a mess. She had to calm her mind and think carefully about what to do next. She looked out the window. The sun was shining brightly. At least her heart needed to be filled with sunshine to live better. Living was the most important thing...

Warm sunshine, I'm going to eat a big meal, hahahaha...

It was raining heavily outside the window, with thunder and lightning. It had been raining for seven days and seven nights. The old houses in the village could not withstand the rain and several of them collapsed. A large tree was torn off a long piece of bark by lightning and was uprooted. My father picked up a basin and hit it hard. Someone set off firecrackers... Suddenly, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked with a loud bang. Several neighbors ran to my house and asked what happened. My father took his raincoat and walked out in a panic. There was a small door to the west of the lower yard. After passing the small door was our village school. It was straight east and west, facing south and north, with four rows of classrooms. In the middle of each row of classrooms there was a campus more than 50 meters wide for children to play. Now, every time the neighbors saw something, they were so frightened that it took a long time before someone said, "This, this..." I followed quietly behind and saw a huge hole in the middle of the yard. My father said, "Don't go forward. Walk slowly and watch your feet to see if you're stepping firmly." I walked slowly, but the further I walked, the softer my feet became. I couldn't reach the edge. I was short and couldn't see how deep it was, so I was even more afraid to move forward. The water was still flowing in. People were already heading towards the north classrooms. There was a big hole in the northeast corner of each classroom. People were talking about it, and finally we realized that it was a tunnel dug years ago. The rain was so heavy and long that it had soaked the tunnel. We students were on vacation because of this, and we hired migrant workers to fill the tunnel with soil. I was happy to be able to play... I was a kid...

Slowly, the rain finally stopped, the sky cleared, the sun shone, and the temperature rose. The sunbathing people were sweating profusely. I stood by the window, watching the changing scene, my heart sinking. The elders always said that this kind of weather was abnormal and would bring disaster. The neighbors chatted... In the evening, people gathered in groups of three or four, discussing the consequences of this rain. I stood in the yard, thinking...

Time flies by, and I'm standing here again, but I no longer have the same childhood mood. I've also bought the house across the street from me, demolished it, cleared the space, and bought some land. Looking at these fruits and vegetables, I finally feel at peace after a lifetime of wandering. I smile and quietly return to my room, where my parents once lived, to rest. A bright, yet slightly eerie, moonlight casts a shadow over me...

When I woke up, I heard noisy sounds in my ears. I wanted to open my eyes, but it was so difficult. Finally, I heard clearly that it was a girl. What? Open my eyes, open them hard. Finally, I opened my eyes. There was sunlight but I couldn’t see the people clearly. I heard a lot of people talking in my ears. Some said that I had a younger sister. An old woman said that we finally have a girl in our family. I, an old woman, also have a granddaughter. Let those old things say that we don’t have a girl in our family. Hahahaha…

Ancestors, the Chai family has hope for a successor! The old woman’s surname was Li, and her name was Chai Lishi. Lishi called out, “Fourth son, go cook something for your wife. The old man of the Chai family is Chai Ping’an. The eldest son is Chai Jiahe, celebrating the birth of the family’s eldest son. Second son, Jiaxing, wishing the family prosperity. Third son, Jiale, wishing happiness and worry-free. Fourth son, wishing the family a good reputation. The family has no daughters. The eldest son has a wife, Wang, and a son, Chai Huan. The family hopes the next generation will live a worry-free life.” The second son married Zhang from the neighboring village and had a son, Chai Heng. The third son was still unmarried and often away from home, so he wasn't worried. The fourth son had just had a daughter, and Old Lady Li had to think carefully about a name. As she was thinking, she heard her granddaughter's loud cry. The whole family gathered around her. The little girl's face was red from crying, and she was gasping for breath. She realized that she had died in the other world, and her two children would never see her again. Her soul had arrived here, and God hadn't allowed her to drink Meng Po soup. She had traveled through time or reincarnation with the memories of her past life and thousands of years of knowledge. God had given her a second life. She cried, saying goodbye to the past. She cried because her two daughters had started families and had jobs, and were living well and content. She turned away, and Old Lady Li called out, "Don't cry." "Our family will love you and cherish you, and we won't let you go hungry." "Fourth son, is the porridge ready? Bring it up quickly so your wife can have some, so she can produce more milk and feed the children." The fourth child grinned widely. "Mom, it's ready, here it comes," he stepped forward, picked up a spoon, scooped up a tablespoon, blew on it, and found it was not burnt. He fed it to his wife, scooped up some more and put it to his daughter's mouth. He watched his daughter stick out her tongue and roll it, her rosy little face so adorable that it was hard to describe. The child was born to eat. She stopped crying and smiled with her tongue sticking out. She fell asleep again after licking it twice. The whole family finally felt relieved.
