Rebirth do not come

After dinner, Zhang Taiqing asked: "Where does Xiaohui want to go tomorrow, can uncle take you there?"

Ni Hui shook his head, he didn't want to go anywhere, he just wanted to spend more time with his mother.

Chen Liping said to her son: "Uncle Zhang has a car, can you take us to the beach tomorrow? You can pick up shells and conch."

Ni Hui asked, "Can I swim?"

Zhang Taiqing said: "Of course you can swim if you want."

Ni Hui nodded: "OK."

Chen Liping added: "Mom doesn't have time tomorrow, so let Uncle Zhang accompany you?"

Ni Hui turned to look at his mother: "Aren't you going, Mom? But I think Mom will go too."

Chen Liping patted her son's head: "I'm sorry, Xiaohui. Mom is a little busy these two days, Xiaohui wants to play by herself, and when mom finishes her work, I will have time to accompany you, okay?" His eyes were full of guilt, son He ran over deliberately, but he didn't have time to accompany him.

Ni Hui felt sad that his mother was too busy, so he could only say: "Okay then, mom, don't be too tired."

Zhang Taiqing drove them home, Ni Hui and the others went down first, and Chen Liping unbuckled his seat belt: "Thank you, Taiqing, please come pick them up tomorrow."

"It's okay. Anyway, I have time. Your son is very cute and sensible." Zhang Taiqing said, "Sister Liping, I think..."

Chen Liping hurriedly said: "My son is waiting for me, you go back first, be careful on the road, see you tomorrow."

Zhang Taiqing sighed lightly and nodded: "Goodbye!"

Ni Hui had been waiting for her mother downstairs. When she saw her coming, she stretched out her hand to her. Chen Liping grabbed her son's little hand and said, "Go home."

Ni Hui wanted to ask who that Zhang Taiqing was, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. He was afraid that if he was too impatient, he would make his mother uneasy, so let nature take its course and express his opinion at an appropriate time.

While sleeping, Ni Hui climbed into the bed of grandpa, and grandpa said: "Huihui, you really don't want to sleep with Xiangdong?"

Ni Hui buried his head in the pillow: "No!"

"You two children sleep together, the bed is wider, so you can sleep more comfortably." Grandpa said with a smile.

Ni Hui said: "I don't like sleeping with people I don't know well."

"You are not familiar with Xiangdong?"

Ni Hui puffed up his cheeks: "I'm not familiar with him. Maybe he farts in bed at night, snores and grinds his teeth, maybe rolls over and kicks people, kicking me under the bed."

Grandpa laughed out loud.

Shui Xiangdong stood at the door of Ni Hui's bedroom, and when he heard Ni Hui's words, he really wanted to say, "I don't fart, I don't snort, I don't grit my teeth, and I don't roll and kick people!" He slept together.

Chen Liping came out of the shower, wiped her hair and said, "Xiangdong, why don't you go to sleep?"

Shui Xiangdong hurriedly turned around and went into the guest room. The bed was huge, so he didn’t have to worry about squeezing his younger brother or being kicked awake by him in the middle of the night. In the bed, it rolled from the head of the bed to the end of the bed again, hey, the bed is too wide, there is no one around, so I can't sleep, when will Ni Hui be willing to sleep with him.

Early the next morning, Zhang Taiqing drove over. Chen Liping sent them to the car, and forced a sum of money to grandpa to buy food and drink.

Zhang Taiqing smiled and said nothing, just drove. The beach they went to was located in the southwest of Shanghai, far away from the mouth of the sea. The sea here was not impacted by the river. The water was blue-green and relatively clean.The only bad thing is that this beach is not a sandy beach, but a mudflat.Although Shanghai's coastline is long, there is no sandy beach anywhere, but mudflats. When the sea water hits the beach, it will roll up a wave of yellow turbidity.

Such a beach can only be seen, not suitable for swimming, but there are also many people playing in the water, as long as they cross the turbid waves on the coast, the water quality is relatively clear.Looking at the turbid waves, Ni Hui dismissed the idea, and let's talk about it later when an artificial beach is laid.

Zhang Taiqing took out a camera and said, "Come on, I'll take pictures for everyone." In the early 90s, cameras were not widely available, and people were still quite enthusiastic about taking pictures. The last time Ni Hui came to Shanghai, his mother gave him I took three full film rolls and developed a thick stack of photos.

Shui pulled Ni Hui to the east: "Uncle Zhang, take a picture of me and Ni Hui."

Zhang Taiqing pointed the camera at them: "Okay, let's look at the camera."

Ni Hui was not happy, and struggled to walk away, but was hugged by Shui Xiangdong, so he left a picture, one was about to run, one was forced to stay, one was reluctant, and the other was smiling, with the blue sky and blue sea For the background, it looks like two boys are playing, the picture is very vivid.

After that, Ni Hui and Shui Xiangdong will never take pictures alone again, and Shui Xiangdong doesn't mind, anyway, there are still many photos of him and Ni Hui with his grandfather.

Zhang Taiqing took photos for a while and asked, "Who wants to go swimming?"

Shui Xiangdong raised his hand excitedly: "I want to go swimming."

"Where's Xiaohui?"

"I dont go."

Grandpa stood on the shore and looked at it: "I'm going to buy a swimming ring."

Zhang Taiqing said with a smile: "No need to buy, I have everything ready. I have swimming trunks and rings, as well as food and drink. They are all here." He opened the trunk of the car as he spoke, and it was full of , Drinks, snacks, swimming rings, swimming trunks, everything.

Ni Hui gave this person a point in his heart, yes, he is a very caring and considerate person.

Shui Xiangdong changed into swimming trunks, and Zhang Taiqing was busy inflating the swimming ring.

Grandpa asked Ni Hui: "Hui Hui, are you really not going?"

It was the hottest time in midsummer, and Ni Hui looked at the blue-green ocean, which was as warm and moist as jasper, which was indeed very attractive, but the mud under his feet made him retreat, it was too dirty.He hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "I won't go, it's so dirty."

Grandpa laughed: "Let's play on the beach then."

"Okay." Ni Hui took off his shoes, and stepped on the soft mud flat with bare feet. It felt cool and soft, and it was very good. He left a series of clear footprints along the way.

Shui Xiangdong looked at Ni Hui's small footprints, which were wide in the front and narrow in the back, and even the toes were clearly printed on the mud. They looked so cute and felt itchy.He waited for Zhang Taiqing to help him fill up the swimming ring, and he couldn't wait to put it on, and followed Ni Hui's footsteps: "Ni Hui, wait for me!"

Ni Hui looked back at him. He was wearing a red swimming ring and blue shorts. He looked like a silly hat. He couldn't help turning his head, lowered his head and continued to look at the mudflat. There might be some fish in the mud. Shells, starfish and so on, but the tide has not ebbed yet, so it is not a good time to catch the sea.

Shui ran to Ni Hui's side eastward: "Ni Hui, what are you looking for? Shells?"

Ni Hui squatted on the ground digging the mud, found a shell not much bigger than a fingernail in the mud, went to the water's edge to clean it, and found that it was a small shell with brown spots, and the pattern was not bad.

Shui Xiangdong didn't go into the water, but also searched in the mud. He wanted to find a beautiful conch for Ni Hui.

Over there, Ni Hui's grandfather had already chatted with Zhang Taiqing, and Zhang Taiqing said, "I found that Xiaohui doesn't like to talk, and his personality is more introverted."

Grandpa said: "Yes. His parents used to quarrel all the time, which may have affected the child's character."

Zhang Taiqing said: "Parents have too much influence on their children. A wrong marriage will hurt the children the most."

Grandpa asked: "Isn't it? How old is Xiaozhang's child?"

Zhang Taiqing laughed: "Me, I am a happy bachelor who eats enough for one person and the whole family is not hungry."

"Really? I see you are very patient with your children. I thought you were a father too." Grandpa laughed.

"I have many brothers and sisters in my family. When I was young, I often helped my parents take care of my younger brothers and sisters. I am better at getting along with children."

"How old are you?"

Zhang Taiqing said: "29."

Grandpa sighed and said, "It's time to get married too."

Zhang Taiqing smiled: "Yes, it was delayed by accident."

The two stopped talking and looked at the two children by the sea.

Shui Xiangdong finally dug out a conch from the mud. This conch was very small and slender, with a long spiral tail, a circle of brown and white, and it was quite beautiful.Shui Xiangdong offered the washed conch to Ni Hui like a treasure: "Ni Hui, this is for you."

Ni Hui looked at the conch in his hand and liked it a little, but he still said: "I don't want it, you can keep it for yourself."

Shui Xiangdong had long thought of a way out: "Hold it for me, I'm going swimming." Saying this, he stuffed it into Ni Hui's hand, and threw himself into the yellow soup-like waves.

Ni Hui looked at the conch in his hand and wanted to throw it on the ground, but he kept it in his pocket instead.The water flutters happily in the east, undulating with the waves, like a happy water bird.

Zhang Taiqing also changed his clothes and came down to swim, and asked Ni Hui from a distance: "Xiaohui, are you here to swim?"

Ni Hui shook his head: "No."

Grandpa also came down barefoot. Ni Hui picked up a handful of small shells and small conchs, walked to his side, and showed them to him: "Grandpa, look at what I picked up. Are they beautiful?"

Grandpa pointed to the conch he picked up eastward in the water and said, "This is the most beautiful."

Ni Hui had no expression on his face, and said to himself, I picked up a handful, but I couldn't catch up with his one!

Grandpa looked at the two people in the sea, and suddenly asked Ni Hui: "Huihui, if mother finds you a father in the future, would you like it?"

Ni Hui looked up at his grandfather, then lowered his head: "As long as he treats my mother well, I will." Grandpa suddenly mentioned this to himself, did it confirm his guess that Zhang Taiqing really has an unusual relationship with his mother?

Grandpa looked at Ni Hui in surprise. Aren't ordinary children afraid that their mother would be bad for them if they remarried? They would normally say that as long as they treat me well, Ni Hui's reaction was unexpectedly sensible. As long as he treats his mother well, he doesn't consider his own feelings at all.Such a precocious child can't help worrying my grandfather.Shui Xiangdong is also very precocious, but he is still happy and cheerful like a child, while Ni Hui is like a young adult.

Grandpa reached out and stroked the back of Ni Hui's head: "Hui Hui, you can express your own thoughts, what you want and what you don't like, don't be afraid of other people's displeasure."

"Well, I see, thank you, grandpa." In fact, these are his own most genuine thoughts.

"Huihui is really a good and sensible boy." Grandpa sighed.

After returning from the beach, the water was sunburned to the east, and Ni Hui was also sunburned. He was prone to sunburn, but this time he went to the beach with the strongest ultraviolet rays. Although he didn’t go into the water, he still played at the beach. It's been a long time, and it may take a long time to recover.Shui Xiangdong looked at Ni Hui's red face and neck, his eyes were full of self-blame, as if he had done something wrong.Ni Hui turned away from looking at him, because he got sunburned, it's none of his business.

Shui Xiangdong saw the beautiful little conch on his bedside table, sighed, picked up the little conch silently and looked at it carefully, and thought that he could drill a hole in the shell to make a small pendant. Hui likes it and can give it to him, but will he want it?

Ni Hui got sunburned after going out to play, and Chen Liping was so distressed that she no longer asked her son to play outside: "Xiaohui, can you go to the indoor playground with Xiang Dong tomorrow?"

Ni Hui said: "Mom, I don't want to go to the playground, I want to be with you, can I go to your company? I will not disturb your work."

Chen Liping said: "Okay, you can go to the company with me tomorrow." She knew that her son wanted to spend more time with her, but unfortunately she was too busy to accompany him.
