MDMP Chapter 1.1

September 1970.

A green leather train drove through the golden plains during the harvest, and its sharp whistle pierced the sky.

In one of the sleeping seats—

The lower bunk covered with snow-white sheets swayed with the clanging train, and a little girl could be vaguely seen sleeping inside.

The little girl’s little body was sleeping in a ball, lying with her face facing the partition on the right.

If you looked closely, you could see that her eyelashes were trembling uneasily, and the little fists on her chest were clenched tightly.

As if she had a nightmare, the little girl was suddenly awakened. Before she even opened her eyes, she cried, “Woo woo woo…”

At this moment, a pair of women’s hands stretched out from the side and picked up the little girl.

The woman patted the little girl’s back gently with her hand and comforted her softly: “Oh, Suisui, be good. Don’t cry, don’t cry.”

Zhao Suisui opened her eyes and saw her mother’s face through her tears. She cried even harder. While crying, she shouted: “Huuuuu…”

The little boy, who was sitting opposite and reading comic books, also stood up and looked at his crying sister in his mother’s arms. His beautiful face was full of worry: “Mom, what’s wrong with my sister?”

Feng He softly coaxed Zhao Suisui with a few more words. Seeing that the daughter in her arms still showed no signs of stopping, she had no choice but to say to the little boy: “Chengcheng, your sister may have had a nightmare. Mom will take her for a walk. Is it okay for you to stay here alone?”

The little boy, Zhao Jingcheng, nodded.

But looking at the back of her mother leaving, there was still some worry on his little face.

Although there were not many people on the sleeper berth of the train now, Feng He was still a little afraid that her daughter’s cries would affect others, so she had to carry her to the connection between the train and coax her.

The sleeper berth management at this time was strict, which was why Feng He dared to let her son stay there alone.

After a while, Zhao Suisui finally stopped crying.

Lying her head on Feng He’s shoulder, Zhao Suisui’s body was sobbing non-stop. At the same time, she also remembered the reason why she was crying.

She just had a dream.

In the dream, she became an adult, but she was already very sick and was about to die.

When she was dying, she realized that the world she was in was actually a novel.

The male protagonist is her father, Zhao Haoyang, but the female protagonist is not her mother, Feng He, but another woman named Lin Juan.

The book said that her mother, Feng He, died of dystocia a year after joining the army.

Although Zhao Suisui still did not know what dystocia meant, she saw her mother lying on the white hospital bed with her eyes closed in her memory.

After her mother died, her father married another woman.

This woman became her stepmother and brought with her two other children.

The stepmother was very kind to them in front of outsiders, but in private, she was very bad to her and her brother.

Finally, one day, she and her brother were kicked out of the house by their stepmother and lived on the streets in misery.

The dream also talked about a lot of things, but Zhao Suisui, who is four and a half years old, still didn’t understand it very well.

She is scared and angry now. She didn’t want to lose her mother, nor did she want to be cold, hungry, and seriously ill like she saw in her dream…

“Mom, let’s not go find Dad!” Zhao Suisui put her little hands around Feng He’s neck and said dully.

Feng He patted her back. Seeing that she stopped crying, she wiped the tears on her face with her hand and said a little funny: “Why don’t you go to find Dad again? Weren’t you clamoring to see Dad a few days ago?”

That was because Mom would die soon after we went there, and then Dad and stepmother would bully her and her brother!
