Rebirth is more than a year old

It was almost noon when I woke up the next day.

Xiang Nan rubbed his eyes, he was still not used to seeing the bed above his head for the first time.

Cao Qiudong has already woken up, and when he came in from the door, he saw Xiang Nanwo staring at the bed in a daze under the quilt. In the No. [-] middle school full of talents, Xiang Nan was not outstanding, but several people in the dormitory liked it very much. The people of the same age who entered the exam by force probably lacked the simple and pure quality of Xiang Nan, so they felt extra friendly and wanted to maintain the rare cleanliness in the other party.

At this moment, Xiang Nan was huddled under the quilt, only the parts above the mouth were exposed outside, a pair of big and black eyes were shining brightly, a little more energetic than before, Cao Qiudong couldn't help being dumbfounded, thinking that Xiang Nan was like this Looks better than ever.

Why do you think Xiang Nan, who looks ordinary, is good-looking?Cao Qiudong couldn't figure out the answer to this question after being severely disgusted by himself.

In the afternoon, Xu Bin and Ye Wei returned to school. They brought a big bag full of trophies, all of which were food, and put the trophies on the desk. Xu Bin pulled Xiangnan who was sitting on the bed reading a book, " Xiangnan, you can pick whatever you want to eat."

As soon as Xiang Nan lowered his head, he saw a bag full of snacks.

In the past, he had a good stomach, and he could digest everything he ate quickly. Stomach pain, sour stomach and bloating have never been related to him, but now his stomach has probably been starved to death. During this period of time, Nan was afraid of throwing up, afraid of stomach pain after eating, but didn't want to spoil Xu Bin and Ye Wei's interest, so he picked a pack of raisins from a pile of colorful packaging bags, "I just Just want this."

Xu Bin probably also knew his stomach, so he didn't force it, and brought him a few extra boxes of milk.

Xiangnan's No. [-] Middle School, as the name suggests, is the best middle school in Jianning City. Both hardware and software are first-class in the city. It's just that Xiangnan and the others live in an old dormitory building. Therefore, the bathroom is still shared on the entire floor, unlike the new dormitory, which has long had an independent bathroom.

Xiangnan got up early on Monday morning, washed up in the public toilet, and quietly left the dormitory.

Even in the third year of senior high school, there is no such thing as early self-study in No. [-] Middle School. The top ten enrollment rate in the country over the years has given this school and its students such arrogant capital. Walking down the quiet corridor to the south, passing by Most of them are retired teachers and students who get up early to exercise. The whole school seems to have not woken up yet. Immersed in the tranquility before the dawn, I walk to the playground to the south. There are only a few people running on the playground. Stretch before jogging onto the track.

Although it is winter, the wind in the morning is not sharp, and it is a little gentle when running past my ears. I run slowly to the south. First, my body looks like it has not been exercised for a long time. I can't bear it, and secondly, I'm afraid that running too fast will be bad for the heart.

So among the few runners, Xiang Nan was moving slowly at a turtle speed like a tortoise.

When he ran to the point where his back was sweating slightly, Xiang Nan stopped and found a random flower bed to sit down and rest.

Xiang Nan rested on the edge of the playground for half an hour, and then walked slowly to the dormitory. On the way back, he casually went to the school cafeteria to buy four breakfasts to take back.

Cao Qiudong had already woken up. Seeing Xiang Nan standing at the door, holding buns and soy milk in his hand, he couldn't help being taken aback, "Where did you go this early in the morning?"

Since Cao Qiudong said many things to Xiang Nan that he hadn't said to others two days ago, Cao Qiudong walked closer to Xiang Nan on his own. Lonely and lonely, maybe the children in these cities are like this. Parents give a rich material life, but often ignore spiritual attention.

Listening to Cao Qiudong's question, Xiang Nan raised the breakfast in his hand, "Go for a few laps, and then I bought breakfast for you."

Xu Bin and Ye Wei, who were getting dressed, listened, and they looked at Cao Qiudong, as if they saw a lot of unspoken things in each other's eyes, and finally Ye Wei said, "Why do you suddenly want to go for a run?" Is it? Aren’t you usually reviewing books at this time?”

Xiang Nan was embarrassed.

He felt that he could understand the feelings of the original owner who raced against time to study his homework. Knowledge can change fate. Those who live in remote mountain villages want to get out of the countryside. The only way is to study and get a good university. I can only go home to earn the few acres of land.But Xiang Nan felt that what he had to do now was to exercise his body to ensure that his thin body would not be knocked down by any external factors, otherwise he might catch a cold the next morning if he wanted to stay up all night and read a book.

After a few people in the dormitory had breakfast, they took their books and went to the classroom together.

The winter vacation is coming soon, and Xiang Nan is planning to take advantage of this winter vacation to think about ways to make money, otherwise he may not be able to make up for next year's tuition fees. The original owner's parents who have not met must support their son here I have studied in the middle school for several years, and my family is also very difficult. Now that I have occupied this body, it is natural to share some heavy responsibilities for this family. Perhaps it is the one who has learned the most from Xiangnan since childhood Even though he is honest and simple, he may not be very kind, but at least, within his ability, he still hopes to help others.

The class in the morning was only halfway through, and the class teacher called Xiang Nan out in a hurry.

Xiang Nan was still a little confused, so the class teacher dragged him to the office, "Your sister is here."

Xiang Nan was a little confused for a while, sister?Where did he get his sister from?

When he got to the office, Xiang Nan saw a sallow and thin little girl with familiar eyebrows, but he couldn't figure it out for a moment. The little girl was standing in front of a desk at the moment, and the clothes on her body looked very old. Nan, the composure he had just pretended to be calm disappeared all of a sudden, he rushed over and threw himself into Xiang Nan's arms, crying loudly.

Xiang Nan opened his hands, feeling a bit at a loss.

"elder brother!!"

Xiang Nan immediately understood that it was the original owner's younger sister.

When he was a child, he saw other people always chasing after his older brothers and sisters with a small tail. Xiang Nan used to envy him. It would be great if he had a younger brother or younger sister. But the older he gets, the more he realizes that this kind of envy is Delusion, how can parents who don't even want to have another child?

At this moment, the soft and petite trembling body in his arms made Xiang Nan feel weak for a while. He hugged the little girl in his arms involuntarily with his hands, and said softly, "What's the matter? Tell me something." Xiang Nan He was originally a gentle person, and his deliberately soft voice pulled the young man's crisp voice to a point where people's hearts trembled, making it easy for those who listened to feel the gentleness in his tone.

With swollen walnut-sized eyes, Xiangxi withdrew from her brother's arms and wiped the corners of her eyes embarrassingly. She had just entered the first grade of junior high school. Although she was only eleven or twelve years old this year, poverty made this girl die prematurely. Understand that life is not easy, so she is prematurely sensible like her excellent and gentle brother. No matter how difficult life is, since she became sensible, there is nothing worthy of her embarrassing crying. What she suffered today The stimulation was too great, so I couldn't hold back for a while, and cried out in front of so many people.

Xiangxi pulled his brother out of the office, and then said: "Brother, Xiangbei was arrested and taken to the police station!"

"What?" Xiang Nan exclaimed. Although he is not sure whether Xiang Bei is also a member of this family, Xiang Nan, a good citizen, has never had trouble with the police station in half his life, so it's no wonder he was so surprised.

Xiangxi has already wiped away her tears. The 11-year-old girl, after getting rid of the previous panic, now has a calm look in her eyes that makes adults feel ashamed, "I heard that he went with a few gangsters. Snatched someone's bag, and then the other party called the police, and they were all arrested."

"Then where is he being held now?" Xiang Nan asked.

"At the police station in the county seat, I've been to the police station, but they didn't let me in because I was young." Xiangxi raised her head and looked at the heavy expression on her brother's face. She was very worried, afraid that Xiangbei would be beaten to death in the police station. The moment she saw her brother, her heart suddenly settled down. No matter what happened, she knew that her brother would protect her. I will protect this family, "I haven't had time to inform my parents, I don't think I can help them even if I inform them, I don't know the phone number of your dormitory, so I asked the school for leave to find you, brother, we are now what to do?"

The Xiangxi in front of him made Xiangnan suddenly flash a lot of fragments in his mind, other people's and his own.She was like herself many years ago, she was young, but she had to pretend to be strong, not because she was afraid of being looked down upon by others, but because she was afraid that if she let go, those cowardice and inferiority complex would burst out from the depths of her throat.

Xiang Nan raised his hand and patted Xiang Xi's head, with distress on his face that he didn't even notice, "I'll take care of this matter, you haven't had breakfast all the way here, have you? I'll take you to eat first, the school cafeteria should be open now. There is something to eat."

Xiangxi didn't move, "Brother, I brought dry food when I came here, so I don't need to go to the cafeteria." Then he took out a square handkerchief from the pocket of his white-washed jeans, which contained pieces of cheesecake , there was no wind, but Xiang Nan felt his eyes were dry and painful. He took the dry food in Xiang Xi's hand, wrapped his arms around her shoulders and led her towards the cafeteria, "It's okay, there are still food in the cafeteria. food."

We don’t want to think about or see many things because we don’t want to admit the fact that life can be so cruel. We are afraid that the defense line in our hearts is not enough to withstand the setbacks brought about by these realities. We are afraid that we will be weak at the beginning. It will no longer be able to withstand the wind and rain that may occur in the future.Sometimes being strong is probably a virtue that is slowly accumulated because you refuse to admit it.

Xiang Nan and Xiang Xi ate a late breakfast in the school cafeteria, and then sent Xiang Xi to the station back to the county seat.

Xiang Nan really wanted to stay with Xiang Xi to play at school for a day, but Xiang Xi refused and insisted on going back. Xiang Nan thought that the child was probably afraid of troubling himself, so he didn't force him anymore, and sent Xiang Xi to the south before getting on the bus. A nearby convenience store bought a large bag of food for Xiangxi to take with him. After pushing it away for a long time, Xiangxi was no match for his brother, so he finally had to accept it. Xiangnan stood outside the window of the car, watching the direction in the car towards him. Xi, for the first time made such a serious promise, "Xiangxi, you don't have to worry, go back and study hard, Xiangbei will come out soon."

Xiang Xi nodded vigorously, tears wet his eyes again, "Brother, although our family is poor, I have never been afraid. I am only afraid that my parents are not in good health, and that Xiang Bei will die sooner or later if he keeps messing around like this." , I'm afraid..."

Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Xiang Nan hugged her through the fully open car window with both hands, and the faint fragrance of Xiang Xi's hair filled her nostrils, "Don't be afraid, everything is by me."

Xiang Xi gave a muffled reply at the hollow of his shoulder.

The winter sun is very gentle, shining softly on the car body, reflecting the silhouettes of brothers and sisters embracing each other.

Sent to the west, it was already lunch break time, when he pushed the door of the dormitory to the south, he deliberately relaxed his movements, but still alarmed the other three people who were taking a lunch break, Cao Qiudong got up halfway from the upper bunk, pointed to the desk, " I've ordered lunch for you, eat quickly."

Looking up to the south, there is his own lunch box on the desk, and there is a dish in a plastic box next to it, "Okay, thank you."

Ye Wei and Xu Bin also sat up from the bed, Ye Wei looked at him, "Seeing you leave in a hurry today, is there something wrong at home?"

Xiang Nan was opening the lid of the lunch box, and he didn't hide what he said, "My brother, he went into the police station."

"Ah?!" The three said in unison.

Xiang Nan picked up a bunch of vegetables with chopsticks and fed them into his mouth. He waited for the food in his mouth to be swallowed before he spoke, "It's also his own fault for being disobedient. Got it."

At this time, Cao Qiudong and the others had already got off the bed. Cao Qiudong said, "Where is the police station? Let me see if I can help?"

"Yes, tell me quickly." Xu Bin was also quite anxious, and walked to the chair opposite Xiang Nan and sat down.

After getting along for the past few days, Xiang Nan also probably learned that the three families in the dormitory are quite well-off, but he doesn't know if he can talk about it, but since the words have already been spoken, he can only trouble them this time Now, Xiang Nan is going to single-handedly fish out Xiang Bei. He thinks he doesn't have the ability now. Even in his previous life, he was just a commoner, and his relatives were neither high-ranking officials nor wealthy businessmen, so he couldn't break into the police station. Internal.

"At the police station in the county seat, I plan to take a leave of absence with my teacher to go to the county seat in the afternoon, at least to meet someone first." Xiang Nan swallowed a mouthful of plain rice, feeling that it was too much.

"I'll go!" Xu Bin cursed, "I have an uncle who is well-connected in Qu County, but he left the country last month."

Cao Qiudong stroked his chin, as if he was searching for someone who could help. After a while, he didn't know what he thought of, and his brows furrowed.

Ye Wei looked at his expression, "Have you thought of someone who can help?"

Xiang Nan and Xu Bin also looked at Cao Qiudong at the same time, Cao Qiudong was uncomfortable being watched by several people, and coughed, "I have an uncle who can probably help, but he...he left the Cao family a long time ago. I didn’t see him very often, but I heard from my family that he’s doing well now, so I think he might be able to help.”

Xiang Nan was taken aback, leaving the Cao family meant that Cao Qiudong's uncle had no relationship with the Cao family at all. If he went to the other party for help rashly, would the other party embarrass Cao Qiudong because of the past?

"Isn't that good?" Xiang Nan was in a bit of a dilemma. In fact, after Xiang Xi told Xiang Bei that he was arrested, he was already thinking about who could help him, but after much deliberation, except for the people in the dormitory. He didn't know any of the three roommates here, and Cao Qiudong said that he was very happy to help Xiang Nan, but if the object was Cao Qiudong's former uncle, Xiang Nan was not sure at all, after all, let Cao Qiudong might embarrass himself, but Xiang Nan couldn't do it.

Cao Qiudong shook his head and said, "Among our relatives, only that uncle is familiar with the police station. If you don't look for him, I think it will be difficult for your brother to get out. Besides, it's messy inside now. If you don't pay attention, you will be killed." Gotta die."

Xiang Nan's heart skipped a beat, he was really afraid that Xiang Bei would just die inside, even though he hadn't even seen anyone.

"Then how can I find him? Do you have his contact information?" Thinking of this, Xiang Nan couldn't sit still.

"I saved his number before, but I don't know if I've changed it now, so I'll make a call first." Cao Qiudong took out his cell phone and made a call. Xiang Nan heard him call the person over there as third uncle. After a while , Cao Qiudong turned his head and asked Xiang Nan, "What's your brother's name?" After hearing Xiang Nan's name, he said a few more words to the phone, and when the call was over, Cao Qiudong said, "I I have already told my third uncle about it, and my third uncle said that it should be no problem to get your brother out."

Xiang Nan nodded and sincerely said thank you.

Cao Qiudong patted him on the shoulder, "Hey, don't be so polite if you're a brother, you'll be divided."

Ye Wei and Xu Bin laughed when they saw that something was going on, "Yeah, the four of us have been in the same dormitory for almost two years, and we have long been comrades-in-arms of the revolution!"

After being disturbed by several people, Xiang Nan's mood gradually calmed down. Although Cao Qiudong's third uncle helped him, he still decided to go to the county in the afternoon. In any case, he had to see that Xiang Bei was safe and sound.

"By the way, Xiangnan, are you going to the county seat this afternoon?" Cao Qiudong asked suddenly.

Xiang Nan had almost finished his meal, and was about to put his chopsticks into the lunch box to wash, when he heard this, he raised his head, "Yes, I will ask the teacher for leave after class."

"My third uncle just said on the phone that he happened to be going to the county in the afternoon, why don't you take his car, drive faster and save the fare."

Xiang Nan was moved by Cao Qiudong's carefulness, and he really didn't have any spare money to take the car, so he nodded and agreed. Cao Qiudong immediately called his third uncle and said that he would take someone with him when he went to the county in the afternoon. Cao Sanshu said without hesitation. accepted.

Xiang Nan asked for leave from the head teacher, and when it was almost two o'clock, Uncle Cao's car drove up to the school gate. Cao Qiudong sent Xiang Nan to the car, leaned on the window and said to his uncle, "Uncle Cao, this is My good friend, the person who went in on the phone at noon is his younger brother, please help me take care of him."

Cao Qiudong's third uncle nodded with a smile, and the imposing car drove away from the school gate under the watchful eyes of his nephew.
