Only after I was reborn did I realize that I had green plums

This is a story that happened on New Year's Day in 2004.

Mei Fang and the others are still in the second grade of elementary school.

The lights of memory came on quietly. On the winter night of 2004, the residents were immersed in the joy of the arrival of the New Year, and various hawker stalls had spread all over the cultural square.

Mei Fang followed her parents to Wenhua Square to visit the night market. At this time, Mei Ya had just turned one year old, and it was still difficult for her to walk, but she could already babble and shout.

"Xiaoya, who do you think this is?"

"mama, mama."

With her head held high, Little Meiya yelled at her mother, Xiang Xiaoxia.

"Then, what about this one?"

Mei Fang cooperatively made faces at the younger sister in her mother's arms.

"gege, gege."

Her milky voice made people couldn't help shouting "cute", even the reborn Mei Fang couldn't help but rua a little more.

"My little sister is the cutest little sister in the world!"

"Then you have to protect your sister well in the future."

"Yeah!" Mei Fang nodded, "I will definitely take good care of her."

Only Mei Lijun still looked unhappy:

"Why can't you call me daddy, this girl..."

"Father, this kind of thing depends on fate. If you are in a hurry, you can't come in a hurry."

"You talk too much."

Mei Lijun was knocking on his son's head at the moment, and happened to see Xia Yuan's family who were out shopping together——

"Oh, isn't this Teacher Yu?"

"What a coincidence, Mei Fang's parents!"

After seeing Mei Fang's family, Xia Yuan also moved up excitedly and greeted them respectfully, "Hello, Aunt Mei, and Uncle Mei!"

"Hello, Yuanyuan!"

As soon as Xia Yuan came over, she was attracted by Xiao Meiya in Xiang Xiaoxia's arms.

"Aunt Mei! Can, can you let me touch the baby?"

"You have to be careful, Xiaoya is still very delicate."

"Yeah, I'll be careful..."

Xiang Xiaoxia was sitting under a stone bench beside her, Xia Yuan leaned over, and lightly touched Mei Ya's cheek with her hand.

Little Meiya blinked her big eyes, watching this strange sister very curiously.

"She smiled...she smiled at me! Did you see that, Mei Fang!"

The happy Xia Yuan pulled Mei Fang and yelled all the time, Xiang Xiaoxia saw her daughter was looking in one direction, as if she wanted to reach out and grab something.

"She seems to like your hair pin."

"This... this?"

Xia Yuan took off a hairpin decorated with peach blossoms from her hair and showed it in front of Mei Ya.

"This is a pointed hair accessory, you are too young to hold it directly..."

"mama, mama..."

Little Meiya stretched out her hand to grab it, and at the same time made a sound of asking her mother for help.

"I really can't take this, it's too dangerous..."

Mei Ya obviously couldn't understand Xia Yuan's words, seeing that she couldn't get what she wanted, she immediately burst into tears with some grievances.

"Yoyo...Xiaoya, be good...Sister Yuanyuan is right, that is still very dangerous, you can't touch it yet."

Xiang Xiaoxia hugged Mei Ya and began to get up to comfort her, and motioned Xia Yuan to quickly remove the hairpin.

"..."

Xia Yuan put the hairpin back on her back, and at this time Teacher Yu patted her daughter's shoulder lightly, "Did you bring a small purse today? You can go to the stall over there with Mei Fang, but don't run too far. "

"Yeah, okay!"

As soon as Xia Yuan got the promise, she immediately became a wild horse, holding Mei Fang's hand and started trotting.

"Mei Fang, let's go over there to play!"

"Hey, wait... Didn't I say not to run too far!"

Xia Yuan, who entered elementary school, no longer needs Mei Fang to take her out to play, but she will not go out alone, so going out with the children is Xia Yuan's normal state.

As long as you hold hands, you will not be afraid of the sky or the earth.

Xia Yuan took Mei Fang to watch other people shoot air guns and put on hoops.

In Baimei County, a kind of dice throwing is still very popular during Chinese New Year. Animals of various shapes are drawn on the dice. Everyone earns the corresponding bounty by betting on how many animals fall down.

Because the dice themselves are very large, the process of throwing the dice requires pulling a thick hemp rope to let the dice roll down from the top of the wooden board, which is also a very enjoyable experience.

Xia Yuan was still watching from the sidelines.

Mei Fang asked her, "Don't you try to place a bet yourself?"

Xia Yuan shook her head, "Mom said this is Dubo, children can't do this kind of thing."

"But you're obviously very interested!"

Xia Yuan blushed, "Look, there's nothing wrong..."

"Then I'll play."

As soon as Mei Fang rolled up his sleeves, Xia Yuan grabbed him. Mei Fang frowned and said, "You don't want to complain to Teacher Yu, do you?"

"That was not what I meant……"

Xia Yuan took out a 10-yuan note from his wallet, "Mei Fang, I'll give you money to play! This way I also have a sense of participation... If you win, it's yours, if you lose, it's mine. Do you think it's okay?"

"Uh...then what animal do you want to guess?"

"Rabbit, Rabbit! All the way to Rabbit!"

"This game is 2 yuan a time, is it 5 times all-in on the rabbit, or 5 times in a row?"

"Just play it once! Just, just play once...you help me press the rabbit."

Mei Fang listened to Xia Yuan's words and pressed the rabbit, and everyone re-bet before the start of the next round.

"Buy it and leave it, buy it and leave it, it's time to roll the dice!"

The shopkeeper pulled the thick hemp rope, Xia Yuan was too frightened to look at it, but just held Mei Fang's arm and covered her eyes.

Seeing that she looked playful, Mei Fang followed her and stroked her little head.

"Speaking of which, Xia Yuan, your hairpin is pretty..."

"Yes, yes! I really like this hairpin!"

As soon as Xia Yuan finished speaking, the hemp rope of the shop that threw the dice twitched, and three huge dice rolled and fell from the board.

Rabbit, bunny, bunny...

"It's three rabbits!"

"Wow, wow!"

Xia Yuan happily hugged Mei Fang and celebrated together, "It's really lucky to be with you!"

Although it is a very low-probability random event to hit 3 rabbits at the same time, the bonus Mei Fang and the others received is only 20 yuan.

Xia Yuan transferred the 18 yuan he earned to Mei Fang as promised, and then took him around together.

This time they walked together for a short time, and then they heard someone calling Xia Yuan's name from behind.

When the two looked back, they found that the little girl who appeared was Lin Youxi.

Leaving her father Lin Guochuan's hand behind, she happily ran forward to say hello to Xia Yuan.

"Lin Youxi, you also came out to play tonight!"

Lin Youxi nodded, and looked at Xia Yuan and Mei Fang curiously:

"What are you two playing?"

"We are watching other people throw rings! There is a person who throws rings very accurately and got a lot of gifts."

"Mei Fang can also throw it accurately, why not let him try?"

Lin Youxi danced and gestured happily, "We even played throwing circles together a few days ago, you don't know, he is amazing!"

Xia Yuan immediately crossed her hips and put on an annoyed look, "Did you come here to play by yourself a few days ago? Why didn't you call me?"

"No, no... we didn't come here by ourselves, but Uncle Mei took us to play together. We were playing on Main Street."

At this time, Lin Guochuan came over to greet the children, and after asking where their parents were, he reminded the three little ones:

"Someone is setting off Kongming lanterns on the south side of the square. Do you want to go there to play? There are also Kongming lanterns over there to buy. If you want to play, you can put them together."

"Kong Ming Lantern? What is that..." Xia Yuan tilted her head.

Mei Fang reminded from the side, "You can fly the lantern into the sky. If you look at the night sky over there, can't you see it?"

"Oh, it looks so good! I want to put lights on too."

So Lin Guochuan gave Lin Youxi 5 yuan, and told them, "If you want to put up a lamp together, you can use this money to buy a lamp."

Lin Youxi tilted his head in confusion, "Dad, aren't you taking us to put the lanterns together?"

"It will be more fun for you children to play together."

Lin Guochuan patted Lin Youxi's little head, "Remember not to run too far, especially if there is a pond to the south."

"Understood, Dad! Don't worry, Mei Fang is here, he is a man, he will protect us!"

Lin Youxi held her head high, her clear eyes filled with infinite trust in Mei Fang.

I wish everyone a happy New Year's Day. There are about 2 chapters in the New Year's Day special chapter, and this is the first one.
