Traveling through the busy farmland of a peasant girl
Chapter 35 Confession
The busy afternoon slowly came to an end amidst the hustle and bustle.
For the whole afternoon, the village was as lively as if it was hosting a grand gathering.
Almost half of the wild boar, which weighed almost two hundred kilograms, was bought by the villagers.
Zhang was filled with gratitude towards everyone who helped deal with the wild boar.
Without saying a word, she picked up the knife and skillfully cut off 2 kilograms of meat for each person.
The fresh pork shone slightly in the sunlight, as if expressing the sincerity of the gratitude.
The villagers who came to help were all smiling and left with satisfaction, expressing Zhang's gratitude.
After processing the villagers' portion, Zhang turned around and began to carefully cut the pork.
She carefully divided the pork into portions, each weighing ten pounds, and planned to give them to the Shen family's old house and the home of Shen Zhenshan, the second uncle of the Shen family.
The elders of the Shen family live in the old house, and Shen Zhenshan, as the second uncle of the Shen family, takes care of the family on a daily basis.
Sending this pork is not only a manifestation of family friendship, but also a respect for elders and relatives.
After all these things were done, people gradually dispersed.
Zhang finally breathed a sigh of relief. She looked tiredly at the large basin of pig offal in front of her and frowned.
The smell of the pig offal is really unpleasant, emitting an indescribable fishy smell that makes people want to stay away from it.
Zhang really didn't want to spend any more energy on it, so she planned to throw it away.
At this moment, a small figure suddenly rushed out. It turned out to be Shen Li.
Her eyes sparkled like two twinkling little stars, and she shouted loudly: "Don't throw it away! I have a way to make it delicious!"
The sound was clear and loud, echoing in the yard.
The Zhang family was stunned when they heard this. They looked at each other with confusion on their faces.
However, Shen Li has always been quirky, maybe she really has some good ideas?
So, under Shen Li's command, the family started to get busy again and started to clean the pile of pig offal.
Shen Shaodong frowned, enduring the pungent smell, looking at his precious daughter helplessly and asked: "Do we have to eat this pig offal?" He really couldn't imagine how such a disgusting thing could be made into anything delicious. Even in modern times, he had never eaten it!
But he felt that he should talk to his daughter. He was almost certain of Shen Li's identity!
At this time, Zhang and Shen Xuan were also nodding their heads, expressing their deep sympathy for the pig offal.
Seeing that her family members didn't quite believe it, Shen Li immediately puffed out her chest and assured everyone like a little adult: "It's guaranteed to be delicious! If it's not, I'll eat it all myself!" She looked so cute and determined that people couldn't help laughing.
Seeing this, Shen Shaodong could only shake his head helplessly, thinking to himself: Whatever my daughter says is fine.
Zhang also looked helpless, thinking to herself: She is reluctant to throw away her daughter's smelly meat, I don't know what she is up to.
Shen Xuan even muttered quietly: "I have the lowest status in this family!" His words were full of joking complaints.
However, when Shen Li carefully prepared the braised meat and braised pig offal, an enticing aroma instantly filled the entire house.
The aroma is rich and mellow, like an invisible little hand, gently tempting people's taste buds.
The family members who were originally disgusted with pig offal now all widened their eyes with surprise on their faces.
The law of true fragrance has once again proved its authority without a doubt.
After dinner, the Shen family, who had been busy all day, finally had some free time.
They had done a lot of work during the day, and their bodies were covered with dust, sweat, and other miscellaneous dirt. Today, in particular, someone had accidentally gotten pig blood on them, and the fishy smell kept drilling into their noses.
As water was a bit scarce, Zhang gritted her teeth and was a bit extravagant, boiling two large pots of water.
The family, as if they had been expecting some great joy, happily took a truly comfortable bath with this precious water.
After finishing all this, Shen Shaodong called Shen Li to the backyard and said that he had something to discuss with her.
When Shen Li came to the backyard, she saw her father standing there with his back to her, staring at the peaches on the tree.
Daddy's figure was as tall and straight as a jade tree, his long hair fluttering gently in the breeze, and his whole body exuded an ethereal temperament, as if he were an immortal who was not affected by the mundane world.
Shen Li couldn't help but secretly joke in her heart: Could it be that the beautiful daddy is also craving the peaches on the tree?
So, she called out in a sweet voice, "Daddy, are you craving peaches too?"
When Shen Shaodong heard the voice, he turned around, gave his daughter a warm smile, and said, "Come on, sit down!" As he spoke, he lowered his head and pointed to the table and chairs set up during the last family meeting.
Shen Li walked over obediently and sat down slowly.
Shen Shaodong sighed softly and said to Shen Li in a very soft voice, "Li'er, next time, when Daddy asks you something, can you promise to answer truthfully?
Daddy promises you that he will never do anything to hurt you."
Shen Li looked puzzled: "Daddy, what's going on?" She lowered her head, it felt like there were millions of horses galloping in her mind, and her thoughts were a mess.
After thinking for a while, she raised her head and answered the father in front of her: "Daddy, just ask if you have anything to say!"
Shen Li believed in her family in her heart. Since coming to this strange world, everyone in her family has been very caring towards her. That kind of love is definitely not something that can be faked.
However, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy deep in her heart. With so many strange things on her body, would she be mistaken for a monster and burned to death?
At this moment, she heard her father ask, "Are you a resurrected soul?"
After hearing these words, although Shen Li had some predictions in her mind before, when this cheap father asked about her origins so accurately, she still felt like a bolt from the blue suddenly exploded in her head. With a "buzz" sound, this sound kept echoing in her mind.
Then, she saw the father's mouth move and a word came into her ears again.
I only heard my father say, "Dad is also a resurrected soul! Dad's hometown is the 21st century, from Hai City. Where is Li'er?"
Shen Li stared at the father across from him in amazement, muttering, "Daddy is also a resurrected soul! Daddy is from Hai City!"
Her eyes were instantly filled with tears, and the tears rolled down like big raindrops, unable to stop.
With a "Wow", Shen Li stood up quickly and ran towards Shen Shaodong.
Seeing this, Shen Shaodong quickly turned around, opened his arms and hugged Shen Li's small body, and was careful to prevent her from bumping into the stone table.
Shen Li hid in her father's arms and cried for a long time.
Perhaps because she had been crying for so long, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She shyly raised her head to look at her father's chest, only to see that his thin summer clothes had been soaked by her tears.
Shen Shaodong gently stretched out his hand, touched Shen Li's head and said, "Daddy, talk about yourself first!"
So, he began to narrate in a slow and rhythmic tone, explaining how he died while on a mission in his original world, and how he came back to life in this body and became Shen Shaodong here.
He said softly, "When Daddy first came, he was also very nervous. Daddy was not married in the 21st century. Suddenly, when he came here, he had a wife and two children."
At this point, his tone suddenly changed, and with a smile on his face he said, "But Daddy really, really likes this place! Because you are here! Especially you, Li'er, Daddy likes you very much!"
After Shen Li heard what her father said, tears started to fall again and she cried inconsolably.
The loneliness and uneasiness after coming into this world, as well as the sense of loss of leaving the family that had no love for me in the previous life, all dissipated like smoke at this moment.
In this bizarre and strange world, Shen Li unexpectedly discovered someone with the same experience as herself. They both came from the same place - Hai City, and then traveled to this strange world.
This sudden surprise and sense of familiarity caused ripples in Shen Li's heart.
Her eyes flashed with excitement and desire, and the next moment, she hugged her father tightly like a young bird returning to its nest.
That tight hug seemed to be holding onto the family affection and love that had been accidentally lost and long-sought after in the long river of time.
All the aching voids in my heart in the past seemed to be filled at this moment.
She slowly raised her tear-stained little face, her eyes red as if filled with a pool of broken stars.
There was a hint of laughter and crying at the corner of her mouth, and her voice was choked but full of joy as she shouted: "Daddy! Daddy! You are my daddy! So good! You are my daddy!" The voice echoed in the air, and every word was filled with her endless affection and attachment.
Shen Shaodong looked at his excited daughter in front of him, his heart full of pity. He reached out his hand and gently stroked Shen Li's little head, his movements gentle and loving. His voice was like the spring breeze, and he said softly: "Li'er, if you want to say it, say it. If you don't want to say it, don't say it. Daddy won't force you.
No matter what the outcome is, no matter what you’ve been through, you will always be the most precious daughter in Daddy’s heart!"
Shen Li felt a surge of warmth in her heart as she listened to her father's words. She raised her little face and tried hard to calm her turbulent emotions, her eyes revealing a firmness: "I want to tell Daddy, I won't hide it from Daddy!"
Then, Shen Li began to speak slowly. Her voice was like a trickle of water, flowing from the distant 21st century.
She started by talking about her own family situation, which was a very wealthy family with unique memories.
She talked about the birth of herself and her sister, as if bringing time back to that moment full of warmth and expectation.
From a newborn baby, to a toddler learning to speak, to a student walking into campus with schoolbags on his back, she will tell every detail of his life from childhood to adulthood.
She talked about her life, the laughter and tears in those ordinary days, the joy of the morning sun shining on the way to school, and the exhaustion of struggling for exams under the lights at night;
She shared her own learning experiences, the nervousness when answering questions in class, the joy when getting good grades, and the fight back when being bullied by students;
There are also those passionate hobbies, such as the leap of colors under the brush when painting, and the intoxication of being immersed in the world of words when reading.
She did not hold back at all, even about everything she had experienced in school, the grievances when she was bullied by classmates, and the sadness when she was misunderstood by teachers.
The most important thing is that he poured out his mother's favoritism and neglect, as well as his inner resentment and anger.
Shen Li spoke at a steady pace, as if she was telling a long and profound story.
"After coming here, I know from my memories that this was an era when preference for boys over girls was extremely severe."
Her brows furrowed slightly, a trace of fear flashing in her eyes, "The fate of girls here is very miserable. They will be easily exchanged for some food, or sold to human traffickers like an item.
When I first arrived here, I was filled with fear and didn't dare to speak easily. I was very cautious every day and could only work very hard.
I was like a frightened deer, afraid that I would be sold or burned as a monster if I wasn't careful.
Her voice deepened slightly as she continued, "Especially since Shen Daya died of starvation.
In her original form, she was a bit picky about food because her family was so poor. In this home with scarce supplies, there was no extra food for her to be picky about, so she eventually starved to death.
However, as I got to know them better, I found that my father and mother were both very good people.
They didn't ignore me just because I was a girl. They did their best to take care of me, but our family was so poor that they often couldn't do anything."
In this way, Shen Li spoke, and time flowed slowly between her words.
After about half an hour, she finally finished. She felt as if she had completed a long and arduous journey, her body and mind drained.
At this moment, she was like a little animal seeking a safe haven, burying her head tightly in her father's arms, refusing to get up, as if that was the safest and warmest place in the world.
Shen Shaodong listened quietly to his daughter's story, his heart aching as if being gripped by an invisible hand. He simply couldn't understand how parents could treat their own child this way.
His eyes were filled with pity and love, and he secretly made up his mind to love this girl who became his daughter even more.
He wanted to use his love to make up for all the pain and hurt she had suffered.
As for Shen Li, after venting her emotions, crying and laughing, and exhausted from constant recollection and narration, she fell asleep in her father's arms like a swaying leaf.
Her sleeping face was peaceful and tranquil, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, as if she could feel her father's endless love in her dream.
