There was a somewhat dilapidated courtyard with two rooms covered in dust. Although the sun was shining brightly, it made people feel depressed.
The room was not small. The central room was about 20 square meters. There was a large earthen yellow wardrobe, and the gray-brown coffee table was relatively new. There were also a few old chairs beside it. There was an arched door frame on the south side. But there was only a floral cloth that was half the height of the door.
The south room was smaller than the central room and was used as a bedroom and kitchen. On one side was a stove and on the other side was an old bed.
Although the sunlight outside was good, the room was somewhat dark and gloomy.
A little girl was lying on the bed. She was covered with a thin floral sheet and was tossing and turning. She looked like she was sleeping very restlessly.
"Oh..."
Not long after, the girl opened her eyes. At first, she looked a little confused.
"What's going on...?"
Perhaps it was because she saw the surroundings around her, a look of fear appeared on the girl's face.
"What? Was it the house in my hometown? How could it be like this?"
The girl, no, it should be Aria Lewis. She clearly remembered that she had been in a car accident. If she had not died, she would have woken up in the hospital, but now...
Aria was just about to figure out what was going on when she realized that something was wrong with her body.
She looked at her fat arms and legs.
Jesus!
Was she crazy?!
No, that was not right. This was her old house.
Aria thought of the novels she had read in her spare time. The main character has a car accident and then returns to his childhood. Could it be that she had encountered such a fortuitous encounter now?
Could it be that the heavens had really bestowed her with a gift that made the things she had once fantasized about come true?
Aria moved her wrist, then lifted the blanket and got off the bed. Under the bed, there was a pair of blue-green slippers.
After putting on her shoes, Aria estimated her height. She was at least five or six years old. If she had already moved into this house, then she must not be young anymore. She had moved into this house because...
"Aria, you're awake!"
A voice was full of energy.
Aria looked up and saw the person who had lifted the curtain and walked in. She looked to be in her forties, and her short hair looked very neat.
Aria was stunned for a long time before she remembered the woman's identity.
"Mrs. Lee!" Aria called out softly. It should be. She remembered that the person who often came to their house when she was young was Mrs. Lee.
Mrs. Lee responded, then took out a small bag of biscuits from her pocket and gave it to her.
"Mrs. Lee, I don't want to eat..." Aria subconsciously refused.
However, Mrs. Lee forced it on her and said with a smile, "I know that your mother doesn't allow you to eat anything given by others, but you can eat what I give you."
Aria whispered, "Thank you." Tears rolled in her eyes, and finally, she couldn't bear it anymore.
Mrs. Lee saw that Aria was crying and she was shocked. She quickly pulled her to sit on the bed.
"Aria, I know you're unhappy because you have a younger brother. But he's your biological brother. He'll always be able to help you in the future. And you won't feel lonely with the companionship of him." Mrs. Lee thought that Aria was upset because her mother gave birth to a younger brother, so she tried her best to persuade her, "If your parents didn't have a son, they would be laughed at by others. Besides, they won't stop loving you because of your younger brother. Be good and don't throw a tantrum with your mother..."
Aria was held by Mrs. Lee's hand as she said this. At this moment, she finally understood when she had been reborn.
It should be when she was five years old when her mother had just given birth to her younger brother.
Aria looked at Mrs. Lee and said, "Mrs. Lee, I understand. I won't throw a tantrum. I will take good care of my brother in the future!"
Mrs. Lee saw that Aria was silent and thought that she still couldn't get over it. She was about to persuade her again when she heard this. She was stunned for a moment and then smiled, "You're still a child. How can you take care of your younger brother? Just take good care of yourself. Don't let your mother worry!"
Aria nodded seriously.
"Mrs. Lee, I want to see my brother," Aria said.
Of course, Mrs. Lee wouldn't say no, so she pulled Aria out of the small room and into the central room.
They pulled open the large drapery in the central room and saw a slightly larger iron bed placed against the wall. There was a small window on the east wall that was tightly closed at the moment. Under the window was a shabby but very clean table. On it were such miscellaneous items as scissors and teacups.
A woman with short hair was lying on the bed. She wore a ribbon on her head and looked a little tired. There was a swaddling cloth beside her.
Seeing such a scene, Aria's tears almost rushed up again. It was not easy for her to stop them from falling.
"Mom..." Aria's voice was a little choked.
