Rebirth do not come

In the first semester of the third grade, a youth calligraphy competition was held in the city.Ni Hui got the registration form from Teacher Tian, ​​and Teacher Tian said, "Go and try."

Ni Hui scratched his head: "Teacher, do you think I can do it?"

"It doesn't matter if you can do it or not, the key is to participate." Teacher Tian said, "It's also good to go there to communicate with people. Seeing the level of others can also motivate yourself."

Ni Hui handed in the registration form, and the competition time is Saturday, October [-]th.He has been practicing calligraphy for more than two years. For calligraphy practitioners, the time is very short, and he can be regarded as an introduction. He has practiced a copy of "Duobao Pagoda Stele" many times.Teacher Tian has always been very optimistic about Ni Hui. This child is calmer than other children of the same age, can endure loneliness, is careful, and has ideas. Calligraphy requires this kind of personality. Write slowly, touch carefully, and practice repeatedly. Only in this way can we really learn the similarity of characters, and then we can further deepen them on the basis of similarity.

"Ni Hui, you have to persevere in writing. You have a good understanding, and you study early. If you persevere, you will get results in the future." Teacher Tian said.

Ni Hui doesn't think about his grades. In the past two years, he has gradually found joy in copying. He can see a different charm in every painting and word, which makes him feel the joy of creation.Mr. Tian saw it and knew that this child was very intelligent, but he did not teach him too early. Beginners must go through repeated copying exercises before they can learn the rules of fonts, so that they can create themselves. Ni Hui is just getting started. He still has a long way to go.

Knowing that Ni Hui was going to participate in the competition, Shui Xiangdong was very happy. He went to Hanmoxuan and picked out a good writing brush: "Ni Hui, you are going to participate in the competition. I bought you a part-time brush." Hairbrush, try this to see if you can write well." He said and handed over the brush.

Ni Hui looked at the writing brush in his hand, this guy finally knew how to buy a brush, and there was a Langhao brush as a gift, and it is still in the pen container, unopened.The wolf brush is definitely not bad, but the wolf brush is too hard. He is a beginner and cannot grasp the strength, so it is not suitable. The brush pen can write the fullness of the face, but the brush is too soft, and it is not easy to write the bone strength of the face. Therefore, it is best to have a penny, with moderate softness and hardness.

"I have a pen myself, so I don't need you to buy it for me." Ni Hui said.

Shui Xiangdong came over with a salivating face: "Your pen has been writing for a long time, and it's a little bald. I think it's time to change it."

Ni Hui glanced at Shui Xiangdong, and stretched out his hand: "Let me see how you bought it."

Shui Xiangdong laughed: "Very good, the owner of Bizhuang recommended it to me."

Ni Hui took off the cap of the pen and looked at it. The tip of the pen was of the right length. He put the pen in a large bowl and began to soak it.Shui Xiangdong laughed, and Ni Hui finally accepted his gift.

On October [-]th, Ni Hui got up early in the morning to practice Tai Chi, and Shui Xiangdong led his younger brother to come too. "Ni Hui, I'll go play with you."

Ni Hui squinted at him, and said lightly: "What's the fun? I'll write in it, but you can't get in. Don't you still want to do business?"

Shui Xiangdong sold some electronic products, such as watches, walkmans, etc. The products sold are getting more and more high-end, and the cost is also increasing.Of course, the more expensive the item, the more you can earn, but the risk is also greater.

Shui Xiangdong chuckled: "Occasionally, I also want to take a break."

Ni Hui ignored him, the competition was at the Children's Palace, he had been there countless times, and his grandfather never said to send him there, so why go eastward.After practicing Tai Chi, Ni Hui ate the breakfast prepared by his grandmother and went out.Shui Xiangdong hurriedly followed, and behind him was the little tail of Shui Xiangyang.When the car passed by Zhang Yong's house, Zhang Yong also came up and saw them stunned for a moment: "Where are you going?"

Ni Hui said, "Go to the Children's Palace."

Zhang Yong became happy: "What are you doing at the Children's Palace? Are you also going to sign up for Taekwondo?"

"No, I'm going to participate in the calligraphy competition."

"What about Xiangdong?" Zhang Yong asked while lying on the back of Shui Xiangdong's seat.

Shui Xiangdong said: "I'm going to play, and by the way, see if there is anything that can be enrolled for Yang Yang."

Shui Xiangyang's face immediately wrinkled: "I don't want to learn!"

Shui Xiangdong put on a straight face: "You don't want to learn, why are you following us?"

Zhang Yong pinched Shui Xiangyang's ear: "Yangyang, go to Taekwondo with me. I'm so good. I have a yellow belt now. Look at my belt, isn't it handsome?" Zhang Yong opened his coat, Let everyone see his Dao uniform and belt inside.

Shui Xiangyang wanted to say something, but Shui Xiangdong said: "It's useless to be handsome, Yangyang is not in good health, and can't do strenuous exercise, so let's do Tai Chi with Grandpa Chen."

Zhang Yong sat back and turned his face to Ni Hui: "Niba, come and learn Taekwondo too. I'll teach you and I can be your senior brother."

Ni Hui shook his head: "Forget it, I'll do Tai Chi too."

"It's so lonely!" Zhang Yong sighed.

"If you are lonely, come back and play Tai Chi with us."

"No, your Taijiquan is not lethal, not as powerful as our Taekwondo." Zhang Yong is very utilitarian.

Ni Hui rolled his eyes and turned to look out the window.

The competition time was two hours. After Ni Hui went in, Shui Xiangdong took Shui Xiangyang to watch Zhang Yong learn Taekwondo.This guy Zhang Yong usually looks like a fool, but he didn't expect to practice taekwondo with discipline. It's no wonder that he has advanced to the next level in just one year. It seems that he really loves it.However, Shui Xiangdong was in Cao Ying and his heart was in Han. He and his brother were watching Zhang Yong here, but what he was thinking about was Ni Hui's calligraphy competition.But the examination room over there was not allowed to enter, so he could only wait outside.

Here Ni Hui entered the arena. The content of the competition was actually determined by the contestants themselves, but they were only required to write a four-foot-wide piece of characters on the spot.Ni Hui took the copybooks he used to practice calligraphy with him, pondered for a long time, and tried his pen again, before he began to write.Among the contestants present, he is the youngest, and there are very few people who write facial expressions. Most of the other contestants are European, Wang, or Zhao fonts. Probably, the fonts of facial expressions change too much, and it is not easy to achieve results. Few people choose to practice. .

Ni Hui has no time to care about others, he is only looking for his own state.Writing is creation. It doesn’t mean you can write well if you can write well.After waiting for people to leave, Ni Hui just started to write.Although it is said that the competition time is two hours, as long as you are satisfied with the writing, you can hand in the paper and leave.

The invigilator looked at Ni Hui and felt that this child was so strange, why was he not in a hurry, children like to scramble to be the first, and when they see others leave, they will definitely become irritable and nervous, which will definitely affect their performance.But he was still a god, and he was still testing the pen, brewing emotions.

Shui Xiangdong also saw people coming out one after another, so he turned around from the Taekwondo field and waited for Ni Hui to come out. As a result, most of the people came out, and he hadn't seen Ni Hui's shadow yet. Could it be that he had finished writing and left? ?Shui Xiangdong frowned, didn't he even say hello to himself?But in the examination room over there, the invigilator hadn't come out yet, and it seemed that there were still people who hadn't come out, so Shui Xiangdong sat outside and waited.Shui Xiangyang ran back to watch Zhang Yong practice taekwondo. This kid couldn't do strenuous exercise, but he yearned for those sports very much.

Finally, Ni Hui finished writing the last word, and wrote his name on the signature.At this time, he was the only one left in the examination room. The two invigilators looked at his handwriting, which was written in a solid manner from beginning to end, straightforward and tense, and they couldn't help but nodded.

One of the invigilators said, "Could this student be Teacher Tian's disciple?"

The other one looked at Ni Hui, and then laughed: "It's true, last year I wrote Spring Festival couplets in the nursing home, little guy, did you go too?"

Ni Hui raised his head, looked at the invigilator, and was really impressed, so he nodded: "Yes, I went too. Teacher Tian is my calligraphy teacher."

The invigilator nodded appreciatively: "Well written, keep up the good work."

"Thank you teacher." Ni Hui packed up his things and came out to wash his pens by the pool outside. Shui Xiangdong saw him coming out, so he hurried over excitedly: "Ni Hui!"

Ni Hui looked back at him and continued to wash his brushes.Shui Xiangdong helped him take the copybook and asked, "How is it?"

"How do I know? It depends on the judges." Ni Hui said lightly.

Shui Xiangdong said: "That must be well written, let's go, let's watch Zhang Yong practice Taekwondo."

As soon as they turned around, they saw Shui Xiangyang running towards this side: "Brother, Brother Yong fell down!"

Shui Xiangdong and Ni Hui looked at each other, isn't it normal to fall while practicing Taekwondo? As for being so nervous, hurry up and see.

But Zhang Yong really fell. When he was practicing confrontation with an older child, he was accidentally kicked hard by someone, fell on his ass, and cracked his coccyx bone.

That place can't and can't be bandaged, and it needs to be used frequently, so it can only be endured life and death.Zhang Yong's grandfather and grandmother were both angry and impatient. They told him not to let him practice, but insisted on practicing. Now he is suffering, he really deserves it!

Zhang Yong can't even sit or lie down now, and he still suffers from severe pain. It's really pitiful.His coccyx was injured, so he couldn't sit on a chair in class, so he had to stand at the back of the classroom to attend the class.Usually at home, I can't sit on a chair or sofa, but I can only sit on a narrow bench with my buttocks raised so that I don't touch his wound.At night, he couldn’t lie on his back, he had to lie on his side. In order to prevent him from rolling around and pressing his wound at night, Grandpa Zhang slept with him and squeezed him between himself and the wall to lie on his side. Zhang Yong was almost squeezed into a lump. a photo.

Cooperating with Grandpa Zhang's own bruise medicine, it took more than a month like this before he finally recovered.Zhang Yong was still thinking about practicing Taekwondo, but was vetoed by his grandparents. He could do anything, but he was not allowed to practice Taekwondo.

Zhang Yong felt that he was very miserable, manly man, this little injury is nothing, the soldiers on the battlefield are all slightly injured and cannot go to the front line of fire, let alone his own injury is healed, why he is not allowed to practice.

Grandpa Zhang said angrily: "Well, if you go to practice with others and fall a big butt, you will have to lie down for more than a month. You will never want to sit or lie down in the future. I am afraid that you will not be in the army in the future." It's time." Although Grandpa Zhang's words were intended to scare him, it also showed the old man's concern, so Zhang Yong's dream of being a martial arts master came to an end.

Zhang Yong was very depressed, and several friends sympathized with him very much.Zhang Yong said: "It's that fucking fatty who kicked me so that I can no longer practice Taekwondo. I must kill him!"

"Forget it, didn't he lose money for you? He didn't mean it. You should follow us to practice Tai Chi. As long as you practice hard, you can become a Tai Chi master like Zhang Sanfeng." Ni Hui fooled him.

Zhang Yong couldn't believe it: "Your Tai Chi can't fight. Are you really as powerful as Zhang Sanfeng?"

Shui Xiangdong said: "Of course, Taijiquan was created by Zhang Sanfeng. Taiji uses softness to overcome rigidity, and emphasizes force to beat strength. It is a supreme kung fu. Have you read "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng"? How powerful it is, who? Say you can't fight?"

Zhang Yong scratched his ears: "Is what you said true?"

Shui Xiangdong said: "Of course. Let's go, I will take you to borrow the videotape of "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" and watch it. You will believe it after watching it." At the end of 93, "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" played by Jet Li was all the rage. files, but video rental stores already have videotapes of the movie. In 94, VCD players had just appeared, and hadn't penetrated into the lives of the general public. Naturally, there was no way to assemble VCD discs, but video recorders and video tapes had long been available.

In order to make it easier for her son to watch cartoons, Chen Liping specially bought a video recorder from Shanghai and came back with a lot of American classic cartoons such as "Tom and Jerry" and "Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse".Ni Hui and Shui Xiangdong accompanied Shui Xiangyang to reminisce about their childhood again. It has to be said that even adults watching these classic cartoons can still smile knowingly.

Shui Xiangdong rented the movie back. After watching the movie, Zhang Yong really became a loyal fan of Taijiquan. However, he didn't know at the time that the Taijiquan he practiced was far from the peerless martial arts he expected. :01 o'clock so much.

Zhang Yong had no more taekwondo to practice, and soon he found another pleasure, playing football. In the summer of 1994, the World Cup was held in the United States. There was a football frenzy in the country. Many boys were obsessed with playing football, and Shui Xiangdong was no exception.

Xiangqian Elementary School is located in the suburbs of the city. It covers a large area and has a standard football field. Shui Xiangdong is already in the fourth grade. There is no football team in the school, so he formed a football team by himself and brought his good buddy Zhang Yong together. Made the main force.Although Zhang Yong doesn't know anything about football, and he doesn't know where his goal is, it doesn't matter, as long as you can run, as long as you know how to chase the ball, you can kick it, and you can never reach the meeting Yes, rules can be learned slowly.

Every day after school, a group of little children chased each other on the dusty playground, swaying the sweat and blood of youth.This sport has become the sport that Shui Xiangdong and Zhang Yong love the most and have always insisted on.

One month after the competition ended, Ni Hui received a notice from the organizing committee of the calligraphy competition that he won the first prize in the juvenile group of the city's youth calligraphy, and there was actually a bonus of 50 yuan.When Ni Hui received the certificate and bonus, he was a little surprised. He knew that Teacher Tian was actually the judge of this calligraphy competition, and he even had some doubts in his heart. This evaluation was more or less based on the teacher's face.So when he got the certificate, he was not as happy as everyone imagined. He just took the bonus and bought a gift for the teacher and grandfather to thank them for their cultivation.

Teacher Tian didn't feel complacent at all when he saw his student winning such a big award, and felt a little strange, thinking that the child was too calm, but he didn't ask any more questions.It is a good thing that students are not proud and complacent, and only humility can make people progress.

After the competition this time, Ni Hui discovered that there was an extra child in Teacher Tian's family who came to learn characters, a little girl about his own age, named Liu Muqing.Ni Hui's first impression when he heard this name was that Liu Gongquan admired Yan Zhenqing and forgave him for being impure, who told him he was born gay.

This girl was also entrusted by an old friend of Mr. Tian, ​​a very energetic child.The little girl called Ni Hui a senior brother in all seriousness, so Ni Hui had an extra junior sister.
