Rebirth do not come

It had been raining heavily outside for two hours, and it finally stopped. It was almost dark.Shui Xiangdong and Ni Hui sent Sha Hanming home.

The family was waiting anxiously. The family didn't know that Sha Hanming had gone swimming. They didn't know that the child had gone swimming until they received a call from Ni Hui's grandfather. They were going to look for him when they saw them come back. Only then was he relieved.It turned out that Sha Hanming saw that the weather was not good, and was afraid that he would not be allowed to go swimming at home, so he ran away secretly. Unexpectedly, something almost happened.

The three children explained the situation to the adults, scaring Sha Hanming's parents and grandma a lot.Father Sha was even more furious: "You child, you are a bit lawless. You don't tell your family when you go out. If something happens to you outside, where will I find you!" , was stopped by grandma, who was reluctant to part with her grandson, hugged Sha Hanming and looked him up and down for a long time: "Don't beat him, he almost died, why are you so fierce! Obviously, are you okay? You children , why didn't you notify us when something went wrong?"

Sha Hanming shrank his neck and lowered his head. His father had never been so angry before: "I'm sorry, grandma, I'm sorry, Mom and Dad, I made you worry. I'm fine now, Niba and Xiangdong saved me."

Shui Xiangdong hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, uncles and aunts, I forgot to call you. I have already taken Sand to the hospital for examination, and there is nothing wrong with it. We will never go swimming again without adults."

Sha Hanming also quickly said: "Yes, I will never go swimming by myself again."

Grandma Sha wiped her tears: "Obviously, you must never go swimming again in the future, how worried you are for Grandma, you will scare Grandma to death."

Ni Hui lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry grandma, uncles and aunts, I shouldn't have asked Shazi to learn swimming." He felt scared when he thought about it. up.

Sha Hanming's parents were quite reasonable. Although they were very angry, Ni Hui couldn't be blamed for this matter. After all, he was only a child, and he saved Sha Hanming's life: "Ni Hui, this Let’s forget about it, we still need to pay more attention in the future, and we must never do dangerous things again.”

Ni Hui nodded: "I see, uncle."

Father Sha said: "Okay, you should go back too. The adults in the family are in a hurry. Why don't you call back to report that you are safe? Your grandfather has already called to ask."

"it is good."

Ni Hui knew that his grandpa and grandma must be dying of anxiety, and they haven't gone back since it was dark.He dialed the phone at home, and as soon as it rang, his grandma answered: "Hi, is this Huihui? Huihui, where have you been, why haven't you come back? Your grandpa has already gone out to look for you."

Ni Hui said: "It's me, grandma, we were delayed by something, and now we're fine, and we'll be back in a while."

"It's really all right?" Grandma asked in disbelief.

Ni Hui reassured again and again: "It's really all right, don't worry."

"Then come back quickly, and wait for you to eat." Grandma said.

Ni Hui said "Yes", and he heard Shui Xiangyang crying over there, as if he was arguing for his brother.

Ni Hui and Shui Xiangdong bid farewell to Sha Hanming's family and came out. Thinking of everything that happened today, they still have lingering fears.Ni Hui walked silently, it was almost September, when it rained, the weather would turn cold and intermittent, and when the night wind blew, Ni Hui shivered.Shui Xiangdong found out, hurried to catch up, and reached out to hold Ni Hui's hand: "Ni Hui, are you cold?"

Ni Hui pulled out his hand, and Shui Xiangdong raised his hand to reach his forehead: "You don't have a fever." When they came out of the water, they were naked until they were sent to the hospital, and Shui Xiangdong ran away. Go back to the swimming pool to get back the things they deposited, and change into the clothes.

Ni Hui tilted his head back, avoiding his hand: "It's okay, it's just that the wind is blowing a bit cooler."

Shui Xiangdong heaved a long sigh, as if something had finally been put at ease: "I feel something is wrong today, and my heart beats very fast before I got out of the car, as if I guessed that something will happen to you, it's okay, thank you I came just in time."

Ni Hui thought of the scene at that time, he was struggling up and down in the water, and suddenly heard a call from heaven, Shui Xiangdong was calling his name, and at that moment he felt that he was saved.He breathed out lightly: "Thank you, the water flows eastward."

This is the first time Shui Xiangdong heard Ni Hui call his name. He never called his name before, he just said "you" or "eh". It is a kind of progress.

When Shui Xiangdong thought of this, he secretly laughed, and remembered giving him artificial respiration by the swimming pool, so he couldn't help turning his head to look at Ni Hui's mouth. Ni Hui happened to turn his head to look at him, and the two looked at each other. Ni Hui quickly turned his head away.He just happened to think of Shui Xiangdong doing artificial respiration for himself. The situation was chaotic at the time, so he didn't pursue it. Now that he calms down and thinks about it, he's really irritated. Damn it, my first kiss just disappeared. It should be said that it was in this life. My first kiss was really wronged.

The corner of Shui Xiangdong's mouth curled up, he stopped when he saw that the platform was on the side of the road, Ni Hui buried his head and continued walking, Shui Xiangdong called him: "Ni Hui, the platform is here."

Ni Hui looked up, then stopped, walked over silently, Shui Xiangdong said: "Don't blame yourself, no one knows that such an accident will happen, fortunately everyone is fine."

Ni Hui nodded, but still remained silent.The car arrived, and the two of them got in the car. There were only two empty seats side by side in the back row. Shui Xiangdong let Ni Hui sit in and sat outside by himself.Ni Hui turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window in silence, Shui Xiangdong also turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window, and the silent Ni Hui.It was a restless stormy night, but Shui Xiangdong felt a little grateful for the storm, which brought him and Ni Hui closer.

When they got home, grandpa hadn't come back yet. Grandma knew what had happened and was so frightened that she almost had a heart attack. She hugged Ni Hui and kept checking him. Ni Hui said, "Grandma, I'm fine. I drowned in the sand. I choked on two mouthfuls."

"You children, without adults, how can you go swimming? It's so dangerous, you are not allowed to go in the future." Grandma said firmly.

"Well, I won't go anymore." Ni Hui didn't plan to go again, anyway, it was cold and school was about to start, so who would go swimming.

Grandma sighed and said, "Come and eat."

Over there, Shui Xiangyang hugged his elder brother's waist and acted like a baby all the time. This child has no parents, and his elder brother is his parents. All he relies on, at night, he must sleep with his elder brother.When Shui went east to Shanghai to buy goods, he would put him at Ni Hui's grandmother's place. At night, he would make a fuss. If Ni Hui was at home, he would sleep with Ni Hui, as if he could feel his brother's love from Ni Hui. The same breath and sense of security.

Shui Xiangdong said: "Yangyang is crying again. She's ashamed. She's going to school soon. She's an older child. If she doesn't see her elder brother, she will cry. Children will laugh at her."

Shui Xiangdong pushed his head against his elder brother's stomach, giggled a few times in embarrassment, his eyelashes were still wet.

"Don't you wait for grandpa?" Ni Hui asked grandma who was serving dinner.

Grandma said: "Let's eat first, Yangyang is also hungry. Grandpa will come back later to eat."

They were having dinner when the phone rang. Ni Hui ran over to pick it up. It was Grandpa who called back: "Grandpa, I'm already home and I'm eating. Come back quickly."

Grandpa's voice was a little tired: "Okay, I'll be right back, you guys eat first."

Ni Hui felt a little guilty. Grandpa was still sick, so he must be very anxious to look for him everywhere.

After the grandfather came back, it was natural that he would be taught a lesson. Both Ni Hui and Shui Xiangdong obediently bowed their heads to be educated and seriously admitted their mistakes.

It is not easy to take care of children. After this accident, grandpa and grandma took care of the children more strictly. Naturally, Ni Hui tried his best to cooperate and dispel the old people's doubts and worries.As an adult, it is still easy to avoid these dangers.

After school started, Ni Hui was in the second grade.When Sha Hanming saw Ni Hui, he felt a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, Niba, I made you worry last time."

Ni Hui put his arm around his shoulder and said, "It's okay, we just need to be more careful in the future. Did your father beat you later?"

Sha Hanming lowered his head, and said with some displeasure: "I didn't hit me, but my dad enrolled me in an interest class in order to keep me from running around after school, and asked me to go to the Children's Palace to learn violin."

Ni Hui laughed: "That's great, I can become an artist in the future."

"I don't like it. It sounds so bad that I'm almost deaf. I'm so bored." Sha Hanming looked up at the sky weakly.

Ni Hui patted him on the shoulder: "It was like this at the beginning. After you learn it later, it will be beautiful music when you play it. How nice it is, with a unique temperament."

Sha Hanming looked at his friend: "Temperament?"

Ni Hui thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Look, she is just like Teacher Huang, very elegant." He pointed to a female teacher in a white skirt who walked past the campus. Teacher Huang was in her thirties, but her temperament He is very outstanding and well-mannered. He never scolds the students loudly, and always smiles when he sees everyone. He is also very convincing to the students, and is deeply loved by the teachers and students of the school.

Sha Hanming thought for a while: "But, Teacher Huang is a woman."

Ni Hui smiled and said: "You are a boy, of course you are different from a girl. Boys have a boyish temperament. Go learn it, you are very handsome." Ni Hui is also looking forward to Sha Hanming wearing a dress. Under the spotlight, he is pulling the strings gracefully. What a quiet and handsome man, I feel very beautiful when I think about it.

Sha Hanming said: "The mud, you go with me. I'm so bored by myself." Sha Hanming wanted to ask a companion to go there by himself. He didn't know anyone, and he was very lonely.

Ni Hui said: "I want to take a calligraphy class, but I can't. Why don't you ask Zhang Yong, he might go if he has time."

"You mean the sky? Will he go?" Sha Hanming scratched the back of his head.

Ni Hui held back his smile and said, "I'll help you go back and ask. But if you really want him to go, you must never call him Yixiantian again."

Grandpa Zhang heard about Sha Hanming and Ni Hui drowning in swimming, and wanted to tie a rope to his little hozen, so he took him to the Children's Palace to learn his specialty.Ni Hui encouraged Zhang Yong to learn the violin and keep Sha Hanming company, but Zhang Yong shook his head, he didn't like that squeaking sound, it was too harsh like teeth grinding.But Grandpa Zhang asked Zhang Yong to choose one, so Zhang Yong went around and finally chose the Go class.Grandpa Zhang thinks this is good, Zhang Yong is too eccentric, learning Go will sharpen his will, and he will not be so naughty.

Shui Xiangdong is actually very envious of them being able to attend some interest classes or something, but he doesn't have such a good life, and it's too late to make money to support himself and his younger brother, so there is no time to cultivate their sentiments.Survival is the first element. Only by solving this problem can we consider various pursuits other than survival.Therefore, he can only regard writing calligraphy as his hobby. At least he has a common language with Ni Hui on this point. Besides, he can only read more books to enrich his heart.Fortunately, Ni Hui's grandfather can provide all these needs for him, and it is free of charge.

In October, the Chengnan Market was completed and opened. Shui Xiangdong received the shop he pre-purchased. The location is very good and the area is quite wide. He doesn’t plan to open a shop by himself. He can’t see it by himself. A child will probably cheat him, so I simply rent it out and charge a fixed rent every month, so as not to worry about it.

When a new market opens, in order to attract investment, the market is exempt from tax and management fees for the first two years.The rent of Shui Xiangdong's shop went smoothly. He adopted the form of renting once a year, so that it would be convenient to increase the rent at that time, because he knew that the currency began to depreciate sharply in 1994, and everything would increase in price at that time. If his rent If you don't raise the price, it would be too bad.Moreover, the new market lacks a source of customers, so the rent at the beginning will definitely not go up, but in just one or two years, the Chengnan market has developed, and businessmen are earning a lot of money. As a landlord, he can't just share Such a meager rent.

Chen Liping handed over the renting of her own shop to her father. Ni Hui thought that he also had two shops there under his name, and thought of the development of the market in the south of the city. Even if he collected rent in the future, it would be enough to live on. The money is not too much. Just enough to spend.

This year, Shui Xiangyang also went to school. In the preschool class of Xiangqian Primary School, he was not the youngest child in the class. The teacher’s daughter in the preschool class was three and a half years old. No one took her child, so she brought her youngest daughter to the classroom. , and discipline with other children.Shui Xiangyang already has a friend of the same age, so it doesn't seem so difficult at school.

Grandparents no longer need to help look after the children. They only need to be responsible for cooking and washing the children’s clothes every day. They don’t even need to check their homework, because their grandson’s academic performance has always been No. 1 in the class or even the whole school. They don’t need to worry about it. Learning is also quite worry-free.

The purpose of Shui Xiangdong to send his younger brother to the preschool is to let the teacher help him to take care of him. He didn't expect him to learn much. If he can't learn anything by then, he can continue to go to the preschool. Unexpectedly, Shui Xiangyang's ability to accept is very good. It seems that he can go directly to elementary school.

Nothing major happened this year. Ni Hui thought that his mother would hear about her and Zhang Taiqing, but it didn't happen. The company moved and the business was booming.The foreign trade import and export business in the past few years has been lucrative, and it is the best year to make money. Ni Hui does not intend to intervene. After 2000, he will be older, and then communicate with his mother, trying to slowly transform. up.

During the summer vacation, Zhang Yong’s parents came back to visit relatives. Ni Hui met Zhang Yong’s father for the first time. Uncle Zhang and Zhang Yong looked very similar. The straight military uniform is heroic, better looking than Zhang Yong, and has a good taste.Ni Hui thought that when Zhang Yong grew up, he should be able to look like his father, so he would not have to worry about finding a girlfriend in the future.

Zhang Yong, who had learned Go for a year, suddenly said that he didn't want to learn anymore. He wanted to learn Taekwondo, because there was a new interest class in the Children's Palace, which was Taekwondo.Zhang Yong had always been brave and aggressive, but when he saw people humming and yelling in the practice room, his heart itch was unbearable. Being a martial arts master had always been his dream.

His father happened to be at home at the time, and when he heard that his son was going to learn taekwondo, he went to the Children's Palace to see it. He felt that it was only mediocre compared to the military's grappling and fighting skills, but it was just a child's house-like game, so he didn't let go. .

But Zhang Yong insisted on learning, and even refused to go to the Go class, which made both Grandpa Zhang and Uncle Zhang blow their beards and stare with anger.

Ni Hui woke up the dreamer with one word: "Why don't you two learn together?"

As a result, Zhang Yong enrolled in two interest classes, Taekwondo in the morning and Go in the afternoon. This time, almost all the game time was completely cancelled, and he only had time to come to Ni Hui's house every evening, and Everyone gathered together, went to take a bath together, and caught the cicada monkey.

Zhang Yong felt that he was very hard: "Why do I have such a hard life and have to learn so much?"

Ni Hui said, "Then don't learn Taekwondo."

"That won't work. I want to be a hero. I must keep on learning and get a black belt. But I'm still a white belt!" Zhang Yong lamented.

Both Shui Xiangdong and Ni Hui couldn't help but think of something impure, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Zhang Yong didn't know what they were laughing at, and continued to sigh: "Wait, I'm going to take the yellow belt test soon, hum!"

Shui Xiangdong patted him on the shoulder: "Then practice slowly."

As usual, Sha Hanming came to Ni Hui's grandfather's house for a short stay during the summer vacation, and went to the Children's Palace with Zhang Yong every afternoon to attend classes.He practiced the violin for a whole year, and finally started to play simple pieces, but sometimes when he practiced the violin, the sound would still break, as if the stone in the chalk was scratching the blackboard, which made everyone's teeth fall.

Sha Hanming also proudly showed off to Ni Hui: "The teacher said that I am very enlightened, and I have made rapid progress."

Ni Hui laughed at him: "Hurry up and make progress. You tortured your parents, your grandma, and your neighbors so much. I really sympathize with them."

Sha Hanming made a grimace: "Everyone who learns the piano comes here. I am not like the girl near my house who plays the piano at home in the middle of the night. That is really tormenting people. I have been playing for two years. Can't get the tune out," he said, curling his lips in great contempt.

Ni Hui rested his hand on his chin, as if he felt toothache and tinnitus. He was changing his teeth recently, and his teeth still hurt a little. Now he felt even more sore: "No one in your neighbors protested?"

"Why not? Several pieces of glass in her house were smashed by stones, haha." Sha Hanming smiled very complacently, as if not being smashed by glass is considered a skill.

Shui Xiangdong also wanted to find an interest class for his younger brother, so he asked Shui Xiangyang: "Yangyang, what do you want to learn?"

Shui Xiangyang was feeding the rabbits. The rabbits in Ni Hui's grandfather's house gave birth again. This litter gave birth to five more rabbits, and there were more than a dozen rabbits in the family. This was the result of selling a lot of bunnies.Rabbits are very capable of giving birth. If they are not controlled, they can give birth to at least ten litters a year.

Grandpa and grandma are too lazy to prepare so much fodder for them, and usually only let them have two or three litters a year.The little rabbits born in the past were basically given away. After the water came to the east, they said they would sell them. There are many people who like to keep small animals, especially the docile and cute little animals like rabbits, which are very popular with children and girls. like.Grandpa and grandma were all handed over to Shui Xiangdong. He took the full-moon rabbits to the flower and bird market for wholesale, and sold them to others for two or three yuan each, and he could earn 20 yuan per litter.

Ni Hui laughed at him for losing money.Shui Xiangdong said very seriously: "I think this is very good. We can't raise so many, and it's troublesome to give them away. We have to ask them one by one. I'll sell them. It will save your grandparents trouble."

Ni Hui stopped talking. Rabbits eat a lot. If there is enough food, they can eat without stopping all day. A few rabbits eat more than a pig. Who can afford it?

Shui Xiangyang stroked the little rabbit's fur with his hands, and asked casually, "What do you want to learn?"

"Would you like to learn to draw and write big characters?" Shui Xiangdong asked, what he couldn't do by himself, he now entrusted to his younger brother, and hoped that he could learn it.

Shui Xiangyang refused without thinking: "No!"

Shui Xiangdong sat on the stone bench, looked at his younger brother, and sighed.

Ni Hui was sitting on the reclining chair reading a book, squinting at Shui Xiangdong: "How old is he, you let him take interest classes, this is simply killing interest, let's talk about it after he has had enough fun."

Shui turned to the east and looked at Ni Hui who hid his face behind the book, and smiled: "Yes, yes, you are right!"
