“Mom, it’s still early. Why did you wake us up so early?” Chen Haoxuan rubbed his sleepy eyes and mumbled.

“Early? It’s not early anymore. Your sister, little Meng’er, has already woken up. Besides, me and your father are going out to work later. You two have to stay at home and look after your sister.” Liu Juan fed the last bit of goat’s milk in the bowl to Qu Meng’er’s mouth, Qu Meng’er’s small stomach was finally full.

Chen Haoguo, who was still sleeping, immediately woke up when he heard his mother say that she wanted them to look after his younger sister. The two of them stood up excitedly, put on their clothes, and got out of bed.

“Haoguo, you’re the eldest brother. You have to take good care of your younger brother and sister at home.” Chen Ping looked at his eldest son who was holding his child and reached out to touch his head.

“Father, I know.” Chen Haoguo nudged Qu Meng’er who was in his arms. He smiled and revealed his big white teeth as he said.

“Haoxuan, you better be obedient too. Help your brother to look after your younger sister too, understand?” Liu Juan also urged Chen Haoxuan.

“Mother, don’t worry. I will look after my younger sister together with my brother.” As he said this, Chen Haoxuan looked at Qu Meng’er who was in his eldest brother’s arms with a little envy. He also wanted to hug his fragrant and soft younger sister.

Qu Meng’er, who was in Chen Haoxuan’s arms, opened her big round, watery eyes and moved her small mouth. She had an extremely obedient look. But Liu Juan was extremely fond of her. If it weren’t for her going to work in the fields, she would really want to bring Qu Meng’er along.

Chen Ping looked at his wife’s reluctant look and was helpless. He could only stretch out his hand and pull on her clothes. “Let’s go. If we don’t leave now, we’ll be late. If we’re late, we’ll lose our work points.”

Only then did Liu Juan withdraw her gaze and leave with her husband, Chen Ping.

After Chen Ping and his wife left, Chen Haoguo carried Qu Meng’er and Chen Haoxuan into the house. The two of them placed Qu Meng’er on the bed. Then, each of them lay on one side of the bed and teased Qu Meng’er.

“Ah, my younger sister’s face is so soft. It’s so comfortable to poke it.” Chen Haoxuan was the first to make a move and gently poked Qu Meng’er’s face.

Chen Haoxuan had already felt the touch of Qu Meng’er’s face yesterday. This time, he directly leaned over and kissed Qu Meng’er’s face. He thought to himself, “So fragrant, so soft.”

However, Chen Haoxuan’s kiss also stunned Qu Meng’er. Then, she screamed in her heart, “Ah, my first kiss, my first kiss in this life.” It was just a kiss on the face. There was no need to make such a fuss.

“Haoxuan, Haoxuan, are you at home?” A child’s voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

“Ah, it’s Buttface.” Chen Haoxuan heard the voice outside the door and immediately climbed down from the bed and ran to the door. “Buttface, why are you here?”

“I didn’t see you, so I came to your house to ask you to go out to play,” Buttface said.

“Buttface, my brother and I are not going out to play today. We are going to take care of our sister at home,” Chen Haoxuan said after a moment of hesitation. Right now, his sister was more attractive to him than his friend.

“Sister? When did you have a sister? Why didn’t I know?” Buttface scratched his head, thinking that he had never heard that Haoxuan’s mother was pregnant.

“Yesterday, I found my sister. My sister is very beautiful. She is even more beautiful than all the children in the village,” Chen Haoxuan said proudly with his head held high.

When Buttface heard that, he became interested. “Really? Then let me take a look.”

Chen Haoxuan brought Buttface into the house. “Here, that’s my sister,” Chen Haoxuan said as he ran to the bedside and pointed at Qu Meng’er.

Buttface followed Chen Haoxuan’s finger and looked over. He saw a soft and clean little child lying on the bed with her small mouth open and closed. She was extremely cute. “Haoxuan, your sister is so cute. She’s much cuter than my brother.”

The three children circled Qu Meng’er for a while. After Qu Meng’er closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, the three of them began to play by the side.

Qu Meng’er began to sort out her thoughts bit by bit. In the morning, when she was carried out by Liu Juan, she saw a calendar hanging on the wall in the room. On it was clearly written the 12th of July, 1977.

Qu Meng’er did not realize at that time what these numbers meant. However, after thinking about it, Qu Meng’er was a little stunned. She did not expect that she would actually be reborn into the 1970s. She went from a post-80s generation to a post-70s generation.

And if Qu Meng’er did not remember wrongly, this 1977 year seemed to be the year just after the Cultural Revolution.. At that time, Qu Meng’er didn’t know whether she had just cried, or whether she should laugh and be glad that God didn’t let her be reborn during the Cultural Revolution.
