Rebirth do not come

On the weekend, Shui Xiangdong packed up his and his younger brother's things, and Grandpa Ni Hui helped them carry the things and sent them back.Ni Hui stood at the door watching them leave, Shui Xiangdong held his younger brother's hand, and looked back at Ni Hui: "Ni Hui, goodbye, come to my house to play when you are free."

Grandma pushed Ni Hui: "Go see Xiangdong and Yangyang off."

Ni Hui stood for a while, then stepped forward, Shui Xiangdong laughed, "Thank you, Ni Hui."

Ni Hui followed silently, without saying a word.Shui Xiangyang was a little excited, jumping up and down: "Oh, we are going home!"

Shui Xiangdong held his younger brother's hand tightly, with a helpless smile on his face, and went back to his home, never to have such a comfortable life at Grandpa Chen's house in the future: "Yangyang, from now on, you can go to school with your brother, okay? "

Shui Xiangyang looked up at his brother: "Can I go to school too?"

Shui Xiangdong nodded: "Yes, but you can't talk in class, so be obedient."

"Okay." Young children are always looking forward to and excited about going to school, which means that they have grown up, and it also means a new life.But often at the beginning of school, you will show all kinds of resistance. You have to sit still in class, you have no parents, grandparents, or familiar friends, you can’t eat, you can’t play, you have to do your homework, Bad teachers will criticize and even slap their palms, which is simply a kind of torment.

So from the perspective of human nature, no one likes to go to school, but as they grow older, they learn to compromise with society and life, and have to accept this fact slowly. Only a very few people can find fun in it, and the vast majority Some people do this according to rational requirements.

Shui Xiangdong has already tidied up his house, the yard has been cleaned up, no more firecrackers and paper money, the purple elegiac couplet on the door has also been faded by the wind and the sun, and the lower part has been torn off , trying to break free from that sad mood.Because no one has lived in it for several months, the yard is full of weeds, and the house obviously lacks popularity.

Grandpa looked at Shui Xiangdong's house: "Xiangdong, do you really want to come back and live?"

Shui Xiangdong nodded: "Well, I have troubled Grandpa Chen during this time."

Grandpa waved his hand and sighed: "Are you afraid of living here?"

Shui shook his head eastward: "Not afraid."

Shui Xiangyang has already run around in every house: "Brother, where are Mom and Dad?"

Ni Hui felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this. In the living room of their house, there were portraits of his parents hanging on the front wall. They were all young, the man was upright and heroic, and the woman was beautiful. She looks like her mother, but Shui Xiangdong neutralizes the outline of her father and the facial features of her mother, very heroic, while Shui Xiangyang is softer, more like her mother.

Shui squatted down to the east and hugged his younger brother: "Didn't it mean that Mom and Dad have gone to the sky?"

Shui Xiangyang blinked: "Then they won't come back?"

Shui Xiangdong nodded: "If we don't come back, Yangyang and I will be left alone, but Mom and Dad will watch us from the sky."

Shui Xiangyang couldn't see a sad look on his face, he just said "oh" lightly, and pointed to the black and white photos on the wall: "Are they watching us there?" A three-year-old child doesn't know how to die. Grief, his parents suddenly disappeared. After he cried and made a fuss, he slowly forgot about it.

"Yes." Shui nodded to the east.

Ni Hui turned away from looking at them, he looked at the whole house, this is a small two-story western-style building, the house is not very old, Shui Xiangdong tidied up a room downstairs, a simple wooden bed The sheets and bedding on the bed still have traces of folding, all of which are newly laid. There is a red-painted strip table, a chair, and a lamp on the table under the window. Apart from that, the room is empty and there is nothing. .

Shui Xiangdong puts her schoolbag on the table.Grandpa asked: "Xiangdong, will you live in this room from now on?"

Shui Xiangdong nodded: "Well, I'm too lazy to clean up the upstairs, so I'll just live here."

"Then what else can I do for you?" Grandpa asked.

Shui Xiangdong said: "My wardrobe is still upstairs, can I ask Grandpa Chen to help me carry it down?"

"it is good."

To go upstairs to move the closet, Ni Hui was worried that his grandfather would not be able to move it down by himself, so he also went up to help.After going up, I found out that their family had lived upstairs before.The downstairs is paved with concrete, while the upstairs is paved with ceramic tiles. It looks much more elegant than the downstairs. Why does Shui Xiangdong live upstairs instead of downstairs?

Ni Hui saw that the furniture upstairs was fully furnished. Although it was covered with dust, it looked very warm. Many small details can show that Shui Xiangdong's mother is a very meticulous woman, which is a pity.Maybe Shui Xiangdong didn't want to think about others, so he lived downstairs.

Shui Xiangdong's wardrobe is a bit big, but fortunately it's not too heavy. Ni Hui and Shui Xiangdong helped move the wardrobe down with his grandfather, who then helped move the TV to the living room downstairs and install it.Looking at the plan of facing the water to the east, it is not going to go upstairs.

Shui Xiangdong said as if explaining: "The floor upstairs has to be mopped, it is more difficult to clean up, so I can't stay on it."

Ni Hui didn't make a sound, Shui Xiangyang found his toy car from nowhere, knelt on the ground and began to push the car.Shui yelled to the east: "Get up, Yangyang, you're lying on the ground again, the ground is so dirty."

Shui Xiangyang turned to look at his brother, then got up and squatted down, and continued to play.Ni Hui thought, if everyone was as carefree as children, life would be much easier.

Grandpa helped Shui Xiangdong settle down and said, "Okay, let's go, now go back to eat."

Shui Xiangdong said: "Grandpa Chen, today is a holiday, so I won't go over there to eat, and cook at home."

Grandpa looked at Shui Xiangdong: "Didn't you agree to have dinner at my house?"

"I went to your house for lunch and dinner when I was in school, and I still cook it at my own house in the morning and on weekends." Shui Xiangdong said with a smile.

"Then can you do it?" Grandpa looked at the water to the east with some disbelief.

Shui Xiangdong said, "I will do it."

Grandpa sighed: "Okay then, Huihui and I will go back first, you come over for lunch at noon tomorrow."

"Okay. Thank you, Grandpa Chen. Goodbye, Ni Hui."

Ni Hui remained silent all this time, turned around and followed his grandfather.

Ni Hui was very curious about how Shui Xiangdong lived and went to school with his younger brother, but it was absolutely impossible for him to inquire about it. He only heard about it when his grandmother chatted with him and asked about his situation during dinner together.For example, what to eat in the morning, Shui Xiangyang followed to class, what attitude the teacher had, and so on.

Shui Xiangyang was quite happy: "Grandma, they gave me candies and toys to play with." They were referring to Shui Xiangdong's classmates.

After two days, Shui Xiangyang refused to go to school, and Shui Xiangdong couldn't persuade him, so he had to send Shui Xiangyang to Ni Hui's grandmother's house: "Yangyang peed his pants in class yesterday, he felt so ashamed gone."

Grandma said: "In this case, let Yangyang stay with me. Yangyang, follow grandma."

Holding a dumpling that Ni Hui gave him, Shui Xiangyang nodded fiercely: "Okay." It was still early, and Ni Hui was having breakfast.

"Thank you grandma, then I'll go to school." Shui Xiangdong said.

Grandma said: "Xiang Dong, have you eaten breakfast? If you haven't eaten, you can eat it at my house."

"I've eaten, grandma, goodbye. Goodbye, Yangyang!"

Shui Xiangyang said "Oh" without raising his head.

Ni Hui saw him walking on the road, took out a steamed bun from his schoolbag, gnawed on it as he walked, and snorted, saying that he deserved it and deserved it.

Here Shui Xiangyang said, "I still want to eat dumplings."

Grandma asked, "What does Yang Yang have for breakfast?"

"I didn't eat."

Grandma was taken aback: "Why didn't you eat it, didn't your brother cook it?"

"I don't like eating steamed buns." Shui Xiangyang said.

Grandma sighed: "This Xiangdong, I really don't know what to say about him."

When Shui Xiangdong came back to eat at noon, grandma said: "Xiangdong, you should come over to eat in the morning. You and Yangyang are growing up, so you have to have a good breakfast, so you can't just pass it off."

Shui Xiangdong didn't eat much in the morning, but he ate a lot at noon. Hearing what Grandma Ni Hui said, she felt a little embarrassed, and hesitated for a while and said, "I'm fine with steamed buns and porridge."

"You child, why are you so stubborn. You are willing to eat steamed buns, but Yang Yang is not."

Grandpa said at the side: "You don't need to make breakfast when you get up in the morning. Bring your younger brother and come over to play Tai Chi with me. Yang Yang's body has recovered now. I can't do strenuous exercise. Tai Chi is just right. After Tai Chi, I will be with Huihui Eat and go to school."

Shui Xiangdong glanced at Ni Hui who was across the table. Ni Hui ate quietly without raising his eyelids. He hesitated: "Then I will trouble grandma."

Grandma laughed: "I do one and I do it, and I do two and I do it, just by the way."

In this way, although Shui Xiangdong and his brothers moved back to live, they still had three meals a day at Ni Hui’s grandma’s house. Their routine was basically the same as Ni Hui’s. They came to do Tai Chi in the morning, went to school after dinner, and came back from school to eat at noon. Lunch, nap here, and then go to school.When I come back in the afternoon, I will do my homework first, and then I will practice calligraphy after finishing my homework.Zhang Yong would come to play with them for a while, and then go back to his home to eat and sleep.

The two old people, grandpa and grandma, are kind-hearted, and have been letting Shui Xiangdong and his brothers stay at home. At first, it was nothing. Shui Xiangyang was recovering from illness. It wasn't very comfortable, but he didn't say it on the bright side. Besides, Shui Xiangdong's father was familiar with them before, and he was even a colleague. It was reasonable to help the two helpless children.Besides, Ni Hui's grandparents and grandparents were not the only ones who helped them. The neighbors next door tried to help as much as they could. For example, Grandpa Zhang Yong gave the children physical examinations, medical treatment and injections for free.

But Shui Xiangyang recovered from his illness and still lived here. Ni Hui's uncles and aunts felt that the two old people were a little troublesome. It was the government's business to raise orphans, and it was not the responsibility of their parents. They felt uncomfortable. The family doesn't run an orphanage, so if you have that spare time, why don't you come and help them look after their children.

It was precisely because of this that Shui Xiangdong insisted on going back to live in his own home.
