Rebirth do not come

Before eating, Ni Hui felt hungry, so he ordered two soup dumplings and a bowl of rice noodles, but after eating the soup dumplings, he was full after eating half of the rice noodles. He burped and put his chopsticks down: "I alright."

Shui Xiangdong looked at the rice noodles in his bowl: "Don't you want to eat?"

Ni Hui said, "I'm full, don't eat."

Shui Xiangdong said: "You go first, I haven't finished eating, and I have to pay the bill later, you go and help Zhang Yong."

Ni Hui said in his heart that after eating so much, he didn't see any growth.Then he turned and left.

Seeing that Ni Hui had left, Shui Xiangdong dragged his leftover bowl in front of him, put the rice noodles in it into his own bowl, and then buried himself in eating.

Ni Hui returned to the booth to help. Grandpa's handwriting was much better than his, and he wrote very fast. There was an endless stream of people buying Spring Festival couplets, and he was always busy.Ni Hui didn't rush to write, and asked his grandfather to write, so he could take a good rest and continue after returning home.It was busy until after ten o'clock, and the number of people gradually decreased, and the grandparents and grandchildren closed the stall and went home.

When I went back to settle the accounts, after excluding the fare and breakfast, I earned more than 80 yuan in one morning plus half a morning. This income was beyond everyone's expectations.It may be that the promotion method of writing Spring Festival couplets on the spot is relatively rare, and Ni Hui is young, so it is easy to earn impression points. People's pictures are fresh and fun, and more people buy them.

"Huihui, are you still going tomorrow?" Grandpa asked him.

Ni Hui rested on the sofa pillow. After a busy morning, it would be a lie if he said he was not tired. He half-closed his eyes and said, "Go, we will buy socks and send them to the nursing home tomorrow when they are sold out. Grandpa, can you tell me?" ?”

How can grandpa say it badly: "Okay, Huihui is a good boy."

Grandma said to Shui Xiangdong who was doing homework, "Xiangdong, will you and your brother celebrate the New Year at grandma's house this year?"

Shui Xiangdong looked at grandma, and said, "I have already bought a lot of necessities for the New Year, and my brother and I are spending time at our own home."

"How much can you two children eat? It's so deserted to celebrate the New Year at home, so you can come to grandma's house to celebrate the New Year, so you don't have to do it. Yangyang, okay?"

Shui Xiangyang stared at the TV, gnawed on rice cakes and said, "I'll listen to my brother."

Shui Xiangdong patted his younger brother's head: "Grandma, don't worry, I can cook myself." He didn't want to celebrate the New Year at Ni Hui's grandmother's house, when Ni Hui's uncles and aunts would definitely come back, the family reunion, the two of them What's the matter with an outsider intervening here, when the time comes, the two old people will come to listen to the gossip of their children.

Grandpa Ni Hui said, "Forget it, let's stay at my own home. We will prepare some dishes and send some to them."

Grandma thought for a while: "That's fine." The son and daughter-in-law were a little dissatisfied when they celebrated their birthday last time. If the Chinese New Year is still here, there will definitely be more gossip. Although Shui Xiangdong is small, this kind of family has already He had ripened his mind prematurely, and he knew everything in his heart. Thinking of this, the old man couldn't help feeling a little more sympathetic towards them.

In the afternoon of the same day, after a few hours of self-cultivation, Ni Hui started to write Spring Festival couplets again, so that he could write slowly tomorrow without being so anxious.In the afternoon, Ni Weiyang and Chen Liping also rushed back. I don't know how they discussed it, but Ni Weiyang agreed to follow Chen Liping back to her mother's house for the New Year.

Chen Liping found her son writing big characters, and was very happy: "Xiaohui, did you really write this?"

"Well, my grandfather taught me, and he found me a calligraphy teacher." Ni Hui said.

"My son is really good!" Chen Liping kissed him on the cheek, and called Ni Weiyang again, "Ni Weiyang, come and see, our son's handwriting is so good."

Ni Weiyang had driven for a day, and was so tired that he didn't want to move at all on the sofa. He said lazily: "What's the use of writing well, can you sell it for money?"

Chen Liping yelled out of the door unhappily: "You know nothing, you think everyone knows money, money, money just like you, money is your head."

"I know a lot better than you guys. Now it's an economic society, and everything is measured by money. Things that can't generate economic value have little meaning in their existence, and they will be eliminated sooner or later. Believe it or not , now is a society where money can turn ghosts around." Ni Weiyang didn't care.

Ni Hui cursed in his heart: Fucking money can turn ghosts around!

Grandpa Ni Hui frowned when he heard Ni Weiyang's eloquent talk in the study: "Vulgar!"

Chen Liping said embarrassingly: "Dad, don't mind, he is just such a person, so vulgar, you can take his words as fart."

"Farting will also smoke me. Fortunately, you can bear it. If I had left 800 years earlier." Grandpa looked like he hated iron and steel.

Chen Liping lowered her eyes: "Dad, I took the wrong path back then, so I can only continue to go wrong step by step, and it's hard to turn back."

Ni Hui, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "What's the problem? Two classmates in our class have divorced parents, so they're all right."

Chen Liping looked at her son and said after a while, "Aren't you afraid that your classmates will laugh at you?"

Ni Hui shook his head: "I'm not afraid. I'm even more afraid of your quarreling and fighting every day."

Grandpa said: "Look at what life you have lived, and the children are not at ease, so why bother?"

Chen Liping remained silent.

Early the next morning, they continued to set up a stall. Because it was New Year's Eve, they didn't delay long. They closed the stall at eight or nine o'clock, and then went to the market to buy a lot of socks. If they had a lot of money, they bought more socks. There are two or three big bags for food.

Grandpa carried these things and took the three children to the nursing home.When approaching the nursing home, Ni Hui found that Shui Xiangdong, who had been happily talking to Zhang Yong before, suddenly became quiet.

After getting out of the car, Shui Xiangdong quietly followed several people, Zhang Yong asked: "Xiangdong, why are you walking so slowly, hurry up."

Shui Xiangdong was turning his head to look across the road. Ni Hui followed his gaze. There was a small courtyard diagonally across the road. There was only one lonely building in the small courtyard. Ni Hui could clearly see the "sunshine" on the courtyard gate welfare home".It turns out that the opposite door of the nursing home is the orphanage. The government's planning is really trying to save trouble. Shui Xiangdong is depressed because of the welfare home?

Zhang Yong retreated and hooked Shui Xiangdong's neck: "What are you looking at?"

Shui Xiangdong said, "It's nothing, let's go."

Ni Hui sent New Year gifts to the old people by writing couplets and selling money, which naturally won the unanimous appreciation of the old people.Shui Xiangdong and Zhang Yong were also praised.Everyone was very happy, Zhang Yong was the happiest, only he was a real kid, he was so happy that he never closed his mouth.

Grandpa agreed with their behavior and thought it was an excellent education class. When he came out, grandpa looked at the orphanage opposite and said: "The opposite door is an orphanage, and there are orphans without parents. When will we Let’s go and have a look at the other side too.”

Ni Hui glanced sideways at Shui Xiangdong, he pursed his lips and remained silent, and Ni Hui didn't bother to answer. Ni Xi lived here once, but he didn't know when it was. He didn't want to be with that pervert in his life. There is nothing to do with it, so it is absolutely impossible to go to the orphanage.

Zhang Yong is addicted to doing good deeds: "Okay, I'm going."

Grandpa smiled: "Zhang Yong is a good boy."

Ni Hui pretended not to hear, buried his head and walked towards the bus stop, Shui Xiangdong remained silent, and followed closely behind Ni Hui.Grandpa was a little puzzled, what happened to these two children, they were quite happy in the nursing home just now, and said that they would come to visit the elderly in the future, but when it came to going to the orphanage, they kept silent, what happened.

Grandpa thought about it carefully, maybe it was because he touched the sensitive part of Shui Xiangdong, and he himself is an orphan.Forget it, if you don’t like to go, you won’t go. Visiting those people is just out of kindness and morality, it’s not an obligation, it’s not a must.

Back home, all of Ni Hui's uncles came, and the whole family was lively, and Shui Xiangdong led his younger brother back to his home.The uncle looked at the backs of Shui Xiangdong and his brothers: "Aren't these two children celebrating the New Year at our house?" He saw Shui Xiangyang following his mother all the time, and thought that their brothers were also celebrating the New Year here.

Grandpa said: "No, they lived at their own home."

Chen Liping is a woman, and when she saw the helplessness of the two brothers, she felt sympathy in her heart: "Why are they gone? Aren't they celebrating the New Year at our house?"

Grandpa sighed and said, "That child has strong self-esteem and said he wants to go back and live by himself."

Chen Liping said: "Why don't we live together at our house? How much can we eat? Then what do they eat, can you cook it yourself?"

"Our family will prepare some dishes in a while, and send some to the brothers."

The second uncle asked suddenly: "Dad, the last time you came to ask me about buying a shop in Chengnan Market, was he going to buy it?"

Grandpa nodded: "Yes."

"Have you bought it?"

"Bought it."

"The one at fifteen thousand?"

"Yes."

The second uncle sighed and said: "I definitely made a profit by buying it. Now the store has risen to 3000 yuan. It has only been a few months, and I have earned [-] yuan."

Chen Liping heard their conversation and asked curiously, "What shop?"

Grandpa said: "The kid from Xiangdong heard that the Chengnan Market is going to be rebuilt, so he wants to buy a shop and rent it out later, so as to earn some living expenses for his brothers."

Chen Liping was surprised: "How old is this kid? He is one year older than our Huihui, maybe he is only eight years old. Is he so thoughtful?"

"Yeah, sometimes I think he is more thoughtful than adults, what a weird guy." Grandpa shook his head and sighed.

The uncle was also a little surprised: "It has risen so fast, I would have bought one if I knew it earlier, and it will double in a few years."

The second uncle said: "I told you a long time ago, I told you to buy one if you have money. It is very cost-effective to buy one and put it to appreciate in value. It will definitely not exceed this price in the future. It is more cost-effective than putting money in the bank." The second uncle works in the Planning Bureau , he knows the general direction of the city's future development.

Chen Liping's heart moved when she heard it, and she pushed her husband who had been watching TV in silence: "Hey, Ni Weiyang, let's go buy two shops too."

Ni Weiyang remained motionless, and threw out a few hard words: "As you like!"

Chen Liping said: "Then I'll buy two. I can rent them out in the future, or sell them after they appreciate in value."

When Ni Hui heard what his mother said, the corners of his mouth curled up. Anyway, if you buy it now, you will definitely not suffer in the future.

Chen Liping likes Shui Xiangdong very much. She heard that he bought a shop and is good at doing business. He is so capable at such a young age. A friend is a friend who wants to make friends with high places: "Xiaohui, you need to have a good relationship with that Shui Xiangdong."

Ni Hui expressionless: "Why?"

"He will definitely be very capable in the future. If you make such a friend, you will benefit a lot in the future." Chen Liping said.

Ni Hui thought to himself, what kind of skill is that, if you give me capital, I can earn more.But he just said: "I am also very capable."

Chen Liping laughed and rubbed her son's little head: "Yes, our Xiaohui is also very capable."

Chen Liping was carrying a basket with a few dishes in it, all of which were just out of the pot, and took her son to deliver the food to the Dong brothers. Ni Hui was a little reluctant, but he still had to lead the way for his mother.

Chen Liping looked at Shui Xiangdong lying on the door to put up Spring Festival couplets. The door was too high, and he couldn't reach it when he stepped on the ladder, which seemed to be very difficult.Chen Liping quickly ran over to hold the ladder: "Come down, kid, auntie will stick it up for you. Why are you climbing so high? It's so dangerous."

Shui Xiangdong carefully held the ladder down, both hands were covered with red paint: "Thank you, Auntie. Ni Hui, are you here?"

Ni Hui didn't say a word, just supported the ladder with his hands, and watched his mother put up the Spring Festival couplets. The Spring Festival couplets were written by Shui Xiangdong himself, not as good as him.

Chen Liping posted the Spring Festival couplets and said, "Have you cooked yet? If not, go to Grandpa Chen's house to eat."

"It's done, thank you auntie, I won't go." Shui Xiangdong said politely.

Chen Liping looked at the dishes in the kitchen. They were all simple home-cooked dishes. They cooked three or four dishes. The braised fish was brought out: "Grandma brought you this, and you and your younger brother will eat it. If you don't want to cook anymore, come to grandma's house to eat."

Shui nodded to the east: "Okay, thank you, Auntie."

After delivering the food, mother and son went home together. Chen Liping held his son's hand: "Xiaohui, if mom and dad divorce, you may be like Xiang Dong in the future and have to take care of yourself."

Ni Hui said: "It doesn't matter, I can take care of myself. My mother won't want me, right? Without my father, I still have my mother, and my grandparents. When I grow up, I can take care of my mother." .” He didn’t know what his mother was planning, but she said that, at least it showed that she was already thinking about it.

Chen Liping rubbed the back of her son's hand with her thumb: "Of course, mom won't want you."
