"No, no! That's not what I meant."
The young viewer was anxious. He thought to himself, old man, don't be rash.
He quickly explained:
"I'm just asking, chatting with you.
If there was such an opportunity, to change the situation of your next life in advance, but it would require working for many years, would you be willing to go?"
Regarding this question, some elderly people cooperated and recalled.
So many things had happened in this life.
But there were many things they could no longer remember.
"Perhaps, hehe... If I had known earlier, your maternal grandfather wouldn't have broken his leg when he went out that year."
"The day your mother gave birth to you, you wouldn't have had to wait so long to get to the hospital."
"And you, I would have known when you got married and had children. Whether my great-grandchild would be plump and fair..."
Once the elderly started talking, they couldn't help but ramble on.
Their memory wasn't that good anymore.
They would forget what they said a moment ago, open their mouths to think, and then start talking about something else.
Hearing the old man's words, the young viewers fell silent.
After a long pause, as if having made a decision, they looked up and said seriously and firmly:
"Grandpa/Grandfather, let's move to the west!"
"Grandma/Grandmother, my job will be transferred back to our hometown in a couple of days, let's go back and live there?"
They also wanted to do something for the elders.
Based on what they currently understood, only the Western Palace had this kind of reincarnation mode.
It had a "chance for change."
No matter what decision the elders would eventually make,
Whether they would persevere during the work or choose to give up.
At least, they had an opportunity to choose.
They had a chance to change.
"What? Move? Why move? I'm fine here, and your neighbor Grandma Wang said she'd play chess with me tomorrow..."
"Go back to your hometown? Are you really willing to go back? Did someone bully you at work?"
"The west, what kind of place is that? Do they have paoba and mantou? I love eating those for breakfast."
The elders' reactions varied, and their concerns were also different.
They were also wondering if this child had gone mad.
How could they say they were moving just like that?
...
On this day,
Various flight and train tickets to the Western regions were being cleared out at an unimaginable speed.
On this day, many guesthouses in the Western regions were booked.
Some real estate agents also received phone calls.
On this day, the person in charge of the Western regions was completely bewildered.
When the streamer from the Underworld Live Stream was coming here, he thought:
We need to boost the economy.
We need to improve industries and bring more talent back...
But before he could do anything,
Promotions, surrounding facilities, everything was just starting to be prepared.
How did it suddenly become complete?
Although according to the news, most of the people moving were the elderly.
But the elderly definitely couldn't be left unattended, so many young talents would also return.
With more young talents, if they get married and have children here...
Then the young population would increase, wouldn't it?
The person in charge was stunned for a while, even wondering if he was dreaming.
After a while, he reacted, "Quick, quick, accommodations, and some industries related to the elderly, let them prepare quickly."
"If there are any difficulties, report them immediately, and we'll find a way together."
"Oh, right, and the industry related to children can also start preparing..."
...
After issuing a series of arrangements, the person in charge sat back in his seat, thinking in a daze.
The Western regions, the Western Palace's "chance for change"...
Here, can everyone see their next life before reincarnating?
Is that rumor true?
...
In some folk legends, children also choose their parents before reincarnating.
Once they decide, they go to be reborn.
If they don't succeed the first time, they will try a second time.
"Baby, did you choose me? Were you in line?"
In a maternity and child hospital in the Western regions,
A woman sat on the bed, gently caressing her swollen belly.
Her appearance wasn't particularly beautiful. Due to pregnancy, her face had become round.
But at a glance, her forehead was full, and her features were perfectly matched.
She gave off a very comfortable feeling.
At this moment, a tall man walked in from outside, his face full of joy:
"The doctor said, you'll give birth in the next few days."
Seeing the phone next to his wife, the man frowned slightly, then quickly relaxed,
"Didn't I tell you to wait for me to see it before telling you? You focus on preparing for the baby now."
The woman mumbled, "I only watched for a little while."
These two had been paying attention to the Underworld Live Stream shortly after it appeared.
Counting the time, their baby was conceived around then.
"The baby must want to watch too."
The woman muttered, remembering what she had just seen.
She became happy again, her eyes curving.
"By the way, do you think the children here choose their mothers before reincarnation?"
"How long did our baby take to choose us?"
The woman murmured while stroking her belly, "Did it also work in the underworld? Hehe~"
The man also had a smile on his face. He took out the soup he had stewed, helped his wife move her position, and get comfortable.
While listening quietly, he responded from time to time.
"I just hope it's healthy."
"Of course," the woman sniffed the aroma of the soup in the air and took the bowl handed by her husband.
"Not only healthy, but I also want it to have no regrets about coming to our home!"
The woman said this, then looked up, "Husband, okay?"
"Okay, okay, okay, drink up, it'll get cold soon."
The man's doting yet slightly helpless voice came from the delivery room.
Outside the door,
A pregnant woman, walking alone along the corridor while holding the wall for support, heard this and couldn't help but show an envious expression.
Her heart felt a little bitter.
Do babies choose their mothers before reincarnation?
She touched her belly, stood still, and drifted off for a moment.
After a while, she smiled.
As she walked towards her own delivery room, she whispered:
"Baby, the first thing you will learn when you come into this world is to be strong."
"This is very good, it will allow you to better understand and face this world."
"It will be your most powerful equipment when facing difficulties."
"If one day you don't need to be strong, that's also very good. It means you've found a reason not to be strong, and you've met a warm person."
Baby, baby...
This world is very good, and also very bad.
You will meet many people and experience many things.
But I think that's precisely the reason you came to this world.
You can taste and savor all the joys and sorrows...
