The seat left for Lin Guodong was opposite Ning Shu. On this seat, there was a large bowl of white rice. Originally, this seat was reserved for him.

Lin Guodong was even more obedient than Sanbao. After sitting down, his attention also turned to the table, where there were cured pork, dried shrimp, scrambled eggs, and seaweed soup.

The table was full of colors, flavors, and aromas. His taste buds were awakened, and his stomach also cooperated by growling.

Gurgle…

Lin Guodong: “…”

Ning Shu: “I cooked a lot for dinner, so eat your fill.”

Er Bao chimed in, “Yeah, we eat until we’re full every day, our stomachs never growl. Do you not eat enough every day?” He remembered that when he used to not eat enough, his stomach would also growl.

However, he had already forgotten what it felt like to not be full.

Lin Guodong explained to his five-year-old son, “I didn’t have lunch.”

When he got off the train, it happened to be lunchtime, so it was inconvenient to eat on the train.

Then he went to the county government to find Meng Jie.

Meng Jie had already had lunch by then, so Lin Guodong asked him, but he made an excuse.

After chatting for a while, he walked back for over an hour, and when he got home, he immediately washed the bedsheets and duvet covers, so… he was tired and hungry.

“You didn’t have lunch, that’s really pitiful,” Er Bao sympathetically looked at him, but it was just a glance. He then helped himself to some meat.

But Yi Bao hadn’t eaten yet. He first picked up a piece of cured pork and handed it to Ning Shu, “Mom, you’re tired and bleeding, you need to replenish your body.”

Ning Shu: “Thank you, Yi Bao.” Would this joke about bleeding ever end?

Lin Guodong also sensed her embarrassment and changed the subject, “This time I’ve come back, I’ve decided on Sanbao’s full name, how about calling him Lin Haiyang? When I named Yi Bao and Er Bao before, I didn’t expect there would be a Sanbao, so Yi Bao and Er Bao only got Zhirui, Lin Hai Zhi ( Yibao ) and Lin Hai Rui ( Erbao ). This way, Sanbao’s name won’t be connected to Yi Bao and Er Bao’s names.”

Ning Shu’s action of picking up food paused, chopsticks frozen in mid-air. “What did you just say? What are Yi Bao and Er Bao’s full names?”

Lin Guodong was surprised, “Lin Hai Zhi, Lin Hai Rui, don’t you remember their full names?”

Lin Hai Zhi… Lin Hai Rui… These names sounded so familiar… Where had she heard them before? Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through her brain, causing Ning Shu to drop the chopsticks, her hands going to her head.

“My head hurts so much…” Her face was as pale as snow.

Lin Guodong was shocked to see this. He hurried over and hugged Ning Shu, “What’s wrong, Ning Shu?”

Ning Shu curled up in his arms, her consciousness gradually fading, unable to respond to him at all.

Lin Guodong, without saying a word, picked up Ning Shu and ran outside, reminding his two sons, “Yi Bao, Er Bao, take care of San Bao and continue eating. Dad will take Mom to the health clinic. Don’t worry.”

Yi Bao jumped off his chair, “Er Bao, you watch over San Bao, I’ll go to the health clinic with Mom. You take care of San Bao.” Then he ran out.

Er Bao also wanted to go to the health clinic with his mom, but he always listened to his brother, so he didn’t follow. He just stood at the door, his eyes red, watching their backs.

He stood there without moving until he couldn’t see them anymore.

San Bao stopped eating, not reacting yet.

It was just after work, and some people were still walking on the road, so many people saw Lin Guodong carrying Ning Shu to the health clinic.

“Is that… Lin Guodong? Has he returned?”

“Looks like Lin Guodong, still in military uniform.”

“What happened to Ning Shu?”

“Lin Guodong looks so anxious, could it be that something happened to Ning Shu?”

Suddenly, various speculations arose, and some even speculated whether Ning Shu was dying.

Ning Shu was not dying. At this moment, her mind was flooded with too many memories, those missing, fragmented memories in this body all came flooding back.

It turns out, she didn’t transmigrate just two months ago. Much earlier, 21 years ago, She transmigrated.

It turns out, there were no other transmigrators, it had always been her. It turns out, the original neglect of the three children was not by the original owner, but by her.

Twenty-one years ago, she transmigrated into Ning Mu’s womb.

Because she was only two years younger than Ning Qin and Ning Qi, Ning Mu still had to take care of the twins, so she had no time to care for her as the youngest.

So as soon as she was born, she was sent to her grandparents.

It wasn’t until she was five years old and could take care of children that Ning Fu and Ning Mu brought her back to the city.

Because again the newly born twins were needed her care, at five years old, she could wash the children’s things and do household chores.

As for why seven-year-old Ning Qin was not asked to take care of the twins, it’s because they were already attending school.

But Ning’s parents were mistaken; she was not one to be easily bullied.

In her past life, even when her parents divorced, she could garner sympathy and fight for more living expenses.

Now, having lived a whole life, even though she was only five years old now in actuality his mindset was kind of an Adult, she would not allow Ning’s parents to treat her like this.

So, she caused a scene in the workers’ family housing area.

If her parents hit her, she would make a fuss until everyone in the housing area knew that they were mistreating their own daughter.

They couldn’t get away with it.

When they sent her back to her grandparents’, she escaped and went to the police, asking them to take her to the county town.

There were no books to read in the countryside, and she didn’t want to waste her life there.

This resulted in them locking her up at home. So, she climbed out of windows and tried to jump out for help.

The police were called, and Ning’s parents became infamous in the area.

In the end, Ning’s parents couldn’t bear the shame and finally surrendered, sending her to school.

With a determined attitude, she smoothly made it to high school.

She just hadn’t expected her parents to sign her up for going back to the countryside.

They even pocketed the 50 yuan subsidy for “educated youth” that was meant for her.

She couldn’t swallow this humiliation, so she decided to expose the whole family.

After going to the countryside with 200 yuan, Ning Shu experienced the hardships there.

She had done farm work in her past life, and even though her grandmother didn’t make her do it, she would help out when her grandmother did farm work, just to win her grandmother’s patience.

But even though she knew how to do farm work, the life in the 1960s was incomparable to modern life.

So, at that time, she thought about how to change her predicament. She was unwilling to work here for ten years. So, she approached Lin Xiaojing.

Because the Lin family was a military family.

Having lived in this era for 16 years, she knew very well what it meant to be a military dependent.

But she wanted to marry Lin Xiaojing’s brother, not just because Lin Xiaojing’s brother was a soldier, but also because he was a college graduate, which was rare in those days.

And as a soldier, he was often away from home, so they would have little interaction, which suited her just fine.

As for everything else, she’ll consider it in ten years. If she can’t even make her current life better, why bother thinking about the future?

Coincidentally, Lin Guodong came home for a visit, and she met him too.

She wouldn’t say it was love at first sight with Lin Guodong, but his tall stature and handsome appearance did appeal to her aesthetic.

Modern people choose partners based on looks; it’s shallow, but it’s true.

She learned from Lin Xiaojing that Lin Guodong’s vacation was very short, so she thought about how to leave an impression on him before he returned to the army.

But she never expected that the next day, she would lose control of herself, controlled by the PLOT.

Fortunately, while being controlled by the plot, she also saw the plot. It turned out that this world was a BOOK, and she had crossed into it, becoming the mother of two little villains in the book.

It was also because of her crossing that she did not follow the plot when she was born.

But according to the plot:

When Ning Shu was five years old, she was brought back home to take care of the twins, from changing diapers to doing laundry, and later on, doing household chores as they grew older.

Later, when the twins reached school age, Ning’s parents were worried that no one would take care of them at school, and because they were being talked about behind their backs, saying how they treated Ning Shu, etc., so they sent Ning Shu and the twins to school together.

However, they only graduated from primary school because the twins didn’t need anyone to take care of them once they were in junior high.

When Ning Shu was sixteen in the book, her parents had originally planned to find her a match from a family with a high bride price.

But little did they know, the policy of going to the countryside came, so they directly signed her up and sent her to the countryside.

Unlike her, because Ning Shu had been a maid for the family for these years without complaint, Ning’s parents did not confiscate the 50 yuan subsidy for educated youth.

After Ning Shu went to the countryside in the book, she was assigned to work in the team where Lin’s mother was.

Because she worked hard, the villagers in Lin’s mother’s team had a very good impression of her, so she became acquainted with Lin’s mother and became friends with Lin Xiaojing.

After gradually learning about the Lin family’s situation from Lin Xiaojing, Ning Shu in the book tried Lin Xiaojing, becoming her sister-in-law, because the two got along well, and Lin Xiaojing naturally agreed.

Then, when Lin Guodong came home to visit, Ning Shu in the book developed feelings for him after seeing him. She even thought about changing her life through him.

So, she took some money from the 50 yuan subsidy for educated youth and exchanged it for some medicine.

Then, using her good relationship with Lin Xiaojing, she had Lin Xiaojing pass the drugged water to Lin Guodong.

The following development was the same as Ning Shu’s.

She married Lin Guodong, pleased the Lin family, and Lin Guodong went back to the army.

When she found out she was pregnant, she caused trouble and split from the family.

After splitting, her life became rich and moist. However, unlike Ning Shu, she was very good to her own children.

Even in March 1969, when Lin Guodong came home to visit, seeing that Ning Shu in the book was very good to both children, he sincerely worked on their marriage.

So it went until 1970, when Ning Shu in the book went back to her mother’s house for something and was accidentally hit by a man named Zhang Fujun riding a bicycle, causing her death from hitting the back of her head.

After Ning Shu in the book died, with the three children’s fathers gone and their mother dead, their quality of life worsened.

Because the money Lin Guodong sent could only be given to Lin’s mother, and the three children ate with the old house’s people, naturally, they didn’t eat as well as they did with their mother.

If that were all, they wouldn’t have become little villains. The turning point came that year.

In the winter of that year, Yibao and Erbao were playing by the river with Lin Haicai and the three children. Later, they got into a conflict with Zhuang Xiaopang’s group, and Sanbao was pushed into the river.

The Yibao and Haicai jumped in to save him, and the Erbao ran home to call adults.

However, by the time the adults called by the Sanbao pulled by children out of the river and Sanbao had already died, While Lin Haicai’s feet were frozen in the river for too long, and he could never walk again.

Because of this, Qian Aifen developed a grudge against Yibao and Erbao.
