I sold grilled fish in the 70s!

A figure darted quickly across a lush green rice paddy, suddenly bringing the once quiet field to life. Look, a group of women wearing straw hats and raincoats are picking fresh tobacco leaves. In the distance, a long chimney slowly puffs out white steam.

A man took rows of golden-yellow tobacco leaves from the tobacco curing barn and placed them on a cart.

When all the tobacco leaves in the curing barn were taken out, my uncle put new tobacco leaves back in.

When my uncle had filled the tobacco curing barn with fresh tobacco leaves, he closed the door and sat down on the right side of the barn.

My uncle picked up a special tongs for picking up coal briquettes and added them one by one from the coal briquettes on the floor into the fireplace in the tobacco curing room.

After lighting the fire, my uncle took a straw hat and sat down next to the fireplace, using the hat on his head to fan himself and cool off.

Not far from the tobacco curing barn, there is a small ditch. An elderly man is holding a bunch of water spinach and washing the soil off the roots of the water spinach.

By this time, Mu Long had run around the field two or three times, and was sitting alone on the edge of the field with a blade of grass in his mouth.

A terrifying dream kept replaying in his mind. In this dream, his mother brought home a newborn girl who was only a month old.

In the dream, her mother gently told her and her elder brother that the baby girl was born to her younger sister. Her name was Rongxue, and from now on she would live with them.

Then, the mother seemed to remember something and showed us one of the baby girl's little feet. There was a heart-shaped birthmark on the baby's little foot.

She also told us a secret: there's a hereditary birthmark in my grandmother's house. It's a heart-shaped birthmark on the sole of everyone's foot.

After her mother told her this secret, for some reason, when she looked at the baby girl's face again, the baby girl's face turned into the face of the woman she had been longing for day and night.

Seeing this scene, Mu Long was startled, initially thinking he would wake up. But then he had another dream.

In the second dream, I was wearing a gray long gown, a black top hat, and a large red confetti on my chest.

At this moment, he and a woman dressed in red wedding attire were bowing to their father and mother and getting married.

When he lifted the bride's veil, he was startled to find that the face of his beloved woman had transformed into that of the infant Rongxue. He was utterly shocked.

Suddenly, for some unknown reason, his elder brother appeared in front of him and quickly pulled him and the bride apart.

Mu Long, she's your own aunt's sister! How could you marry her? Have you forgotten? You once read in a book that if two people are closely related, the children born will be defective.

Someone as arrogant as you, Mu Long! Is it possible that your child will be born with a disability?

Just as he was about to tell his elder brother that it was alright, and that he and Rong'er could simply not have children after their marriage, a crack suddenly appeared in the ground.

A huge, strange wind sucked me into the crack, and I was jolted awake from the dream. I turned to look at the little hibiscus clinging to me, and there it was, looking at me with its round little eyes.

I hugged it tightly to my chest, rested my head against the headboard, and closed my eyes to rest. I wondered to myself why I had such a dream.

Was it because he missed Rong'er too much? There's a saying, "What you think about during the day, you dream about at night," right? Mu Long thought he'd only have this strange dream once in a while. But for the next period of time, he had this dream almost every night.

Every time I wake up, I hold Little Hibiscus and lean against the headboard until dawn before I feel a little sleepy.

I've been like this for a while now! I once discovered that if I wake up in the morning and run a few laps in the fields, I can fall asleep soundly at night.

So I made it a habit that the first thing I did every morning was to run a few laps in the fields.

Just as Mu Long was immersed in his memories, a child's crying interrupted him.

Mu Long looked up and saw an old man pulling a little girl who was about the same age as Zhu Zhu. Just as Mu Long was about to turn around and leave, he noticed that the little girl being pulled by the old man looked very much like his older brother.

Suddenly, Mu Long remembered that his elder brother had once told him that he had sent his and his sister-in-law's second daughter to a family in the next village to be raised as a child bride.

When he heard about this, he seriously asked his elder brother why he didn't tell his younger brother before deciding to give the second daughter away.

After hearing this, my elder brother hit me hard.

This is my daughter. Why should I ask you before giving her away? Do I need your permission?

No! I just wanted to bring my eldest brother's second daughter to the Yang family to raise! That way, the Yang family's bloodline wouldn't be lost outside.

Thinking of this, Mu Long quickly stepped forward, pushed the old man away, and then shielded the little girl in his arms.

Bingying was suddenly hugged by a man dressed in black. Feeling uneasy, she kept patting Mulong's arm with her small hands.

Seeing this scene, Mu Long couldn't help but think of the little kitten he held in his arms every day. When this adorable little kitten was angry, it would always slap its own arm with its two little paws.

Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through Mu Long's arm. Looking down, he saw a row of teeth marks on his arm.

Mu Long looked at Bing Ying, who was holding him in his arms, and saw that Bing Ying was looking at Mu Long with a fierce gaze.

Little girl, why are you looking at me with such a fierce gaze? I don't think I've done anything to hurt you, have I?

"Uncle, since you've already sold me to the Xiao family, why are you still bothering with me?" After saying this, Bingying kicked Mulong's shin hard.

One day, her eldest brother invited her to drink. He got her completely drunk, and she lay unconscious in his arms. She kept muttering, "She hates me! She actually hates me! I'm her own father! How can she hate me?"

Does she know that her mother and I had no choice but to give her away to someone else?

Just as Mu Long was about to comfort her elder brother, she heard Mu Wang whisper, "Second Miss, please be patient a little longer. Father will definitely take you home, okay?"
