Rebirth do not come

Opening the letter, there was a folded picture inside, which was drawn by Shui Xiangyang, with two adults and three villains on it, and Shui Xiangyang wrote in pencil on the bottom, "Grandpa, grandma, brother, brother Huihui and me ", the painting is still in the style of a slam dunk, Shui Xiangdong's shape is a bit like Sakuragi Flower Road, and Ni Hui's is a bit like Rukawa Maple.Ni Hui laughed for a long time holding this painting, "Shui Xiangdong is so ugly!"

After Ni Hui finished laughing, he began to read the letter. As usual, there was no address at the beginning, and the letter read like this: "I know you must laugh like a fool when you see Yang Yang's painting. He is slandering me. The image! I am much more handsome than Sakuragi Hanamichi, at least I have the image of Mitsui Shou."

Ni Hui laughed like an idiot this time, Mitsui Shou!by!Ha ha ha ha!

Finally stopped laughing, he continued to look down:

"Ni Hui, how are you over there? How does Uncle Zhang treat you? Did your classmates bully you? The food in Shanghai is too sweet, are you used to it? Tell you, don't be picky eaters.

"Grandpa is in good health. He walks to the park every morning to do Tai Chi. Yang Yang and I also go together, and Sha Hanming also goes with us. Only Zhang Yong, whose house is far away, cannot do Tai Chi together. There are many old men and women playing Tai Chi in the park. Grandpa will not be alone. After Tai Chi, he can find someone to play two games of chess. Grandpa said that none of them played as well as Grandpa Zhang. Grandpa Zhang is a neighbor. But grandma said that she might not move anymore, as she is getting older, moving around is too much trouble.

"Grandma and Grandma Sha have become good friends. They chat, listen to operas, and go shopping together every day. I think this may be one of the reasons why grandma is unwilling to move. The old man always likes to be more stable when he is old. Accompanied by old friends.

"Grandpa and grandma think that everything here is pretty good, but you are not around them, and they often think of you when they are talking."

When Ni Hui saw this, he wiped his eyes with the back of his hand. After 2 minutes, he calmed down and began to read the following content.

"Actually, we miss you very much. Yangyang is doing well in the new school, and he has made two good friends, both of whom are children from our neighborhood. He has a playmate, and he will no longer always follow us like before. The rear of the butt is behind, it just becomes a little playful, I don't restrict him very much, it is the nature of children to play, I just ask him to go home before six o'clock every day, otherwise he will not be able to catch up with the meal at home, and let his grandparents wait Him. I let him wear an electronic watch, and he started to make trouble at [-]:[-]. Yang Yang was a little unhappy, and felt like a puppy was put on a dog leash. The child didn't know how to associate it. It is worn around the neck, and the watch is worn on the wrist. There is no similarity at all. I am thinking about whether to get a big watch and put it on his neck. (I am joking, of course.)

"Zhang Yong and Sha Hanming really formed a band, but there are only two of them in the team, one lead singer and one guitarist. Zhang Yong is also learning electric guitar recently, and he doesn't go to go lessons. The band members are too Less, they didn’t get anyone, so they pulled me in to be the captain. I can’t sing or play an instrument, what kind of captain. If they really become famous, it’s not bad for me to help them as a manager But the kindness is hard to come by, so I have to accept it, maybe they can really play something in the future, I will help them negotiate commercial performances or something. But music is just a hobby, not a job, you say Right? The entertainment industry is too decadent, I think my friends are living active and healthy lives.

"Well, everything is fine for me, life looks like the same, but you are not here, I am always a little bit out of adjustment, as if you will pop out of some corner at any time. In fact, everyone is a little bit out of adjustment. I have several times The first time I met your little junior sister Liu Muqing on campus. Every time she saw me, she seemed to want to come and talk to me, but she was probably a little shy, so she never came. Yesterday she finally came to ask me where you went to study Yes, I said you went to Shanghai, she looked a little disappointed.

"You left Yangyang with two rabbits. We have no place to raise them. I sent them to the biological garden of our school. The little rabbits they gave birth to may become the subjects of students' experiments in the future, but anyway, there is a place to raise them. That's not bad. I'm reluctant to sell them, or give them to someone I don't know. You gave them to Yangyang.

"Zhang Yong asked me, you won't come back to play in the eleventh time. If you come back, I will live in the study next door and let you and Yangyang live in the bed. I haven't changed your bed. It is a bit narrow, so I will add it to the side. I changed the 1.2-meter bed to almost 1.8-meter wide with a piece of wood, and I couldn’t roll down the bed. Grandpa said, just buy a big bed. In fact, I know he just talked about it, because this The bed is what you slept on, and none of us are willing to change it.

"Although the study is a bit narrow, it is still possible to put a wire bed. The only bad thing about this room is that the window is too close to the building next door, and the light is a bit dim. Every time you go in, you have to turn on the light. Grandpa doesn't like to stay in the study room as much as before. He put his big desk under the window of the living room, and it's in the living room when he practices calligraphy. We all miss the courtyard in the eastern suburbs, but we haven't gone back to see it. , I am afraid that those dilapidated ruins will cover up those good memories. In the dead of night, we still have a complete beautiful home to reminisce about.

"I made an appointment with Zhang Yong and Sha Hanming. If you don't come back on October [-], we will go to Shanghai to see you. Is your house enough to live in? Not enough for us to sleep on the floor. But I still think, you It's best to come back. Grandpa and grandma are looking forward to your return, and we will be very happy. What do you think?

"I wrote so much without knowing it, let's stop here today. Waiting for your reply.

PS: Eleven is coming soon, I think you'd better call back and let us know if you will come back or not.

water to the east"

Ni Hui wiped his eyes with his hand, tried his best to raise his head, looked at the rainy sky outside the stairwell, blinked hard, and forced back the tears. He never knew that Shui Xiangdong would be so sensational.When the class bell rang, Ni Hui tried his best to calm down, and then went back to the classroom.

In the evening, after dinner, the whole family sat on the sofa and watched TV. Yuanyuan crawled between her parents and elder brother, having fun alone.Ni Hui said: "Mom, uncle, I want to go back to my hometown for the National Day."

Chen Liping looked at her son: "Didn't you agree to go to Shaoxing?"

Ni Hui said: "You guys go, I miss my grandparents, I want to go back and see them."

Zhang Taiqing said: "Why don't we all go back to our hometown?" They mainly went out to play with Ni Hui, if he didn't go, what else would they do?

"No, no, you go and play. I'll just go back by myself, I can take the car by myself. The main reason is that the place at home is too narrow, and there is no place to live when I go back."

Zhang Taiqing reached out and touched Ni Hui's head: "It's okay, we'll just stay in the hotel, and the same goes for business trips outside. Grandpa and grandma are getting old, and we rarely go back once a year. If we see each other, we will miss each other."

It’s okay if Zhang Taiqing doesn’t say this, but when he said this, Ni Hui couldn’t help his nose sore. Although his body is the soul of a man who is nearly 30 years old, when it comes to grandparents, he is tormented by the reluctance and guilt his lacrimal glands.He stood up, sniffed hard: "Well, good." Then he went upstairs and returned to his room.

Zhang Taiqing looked at Ni Hui's back and turned to look at his wife. Chen Liping said, "Xiaohui misses his grandparents again."

"Did something happen at home that made him suddenly propose to come to Shanghai? Didn't he never say so before?"

Chen Liping shook her head: "I don't know either. My parents said nothing happened. Maybe it was because he had a quarrel with those children, so he said he would come to Shanghai. Children, I just have an idea for a while, forget it , follow him."

Zhang Taiqing nodded.

In the early morning of November [-], the family packed up and went out. Zhang Taiqing drove back and arrived home around noon.Ni Hui kept looking out of the window, looking at the scene outside, the closer he was to home, the more homely he felt.I have traveled between Shanghai and my hometown many times before, and I have never felt this way. This time, Ni Hui really felt that he was returning to his hometown, not going home.

When I got home, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon. As soon as the car arrived downstairs, the water rushed down like a gust of wind towards the east. I don't know how long I have been looking at the window.Ni Hui pushed the car door open, and saw Shui Xiangdong with an excited face, smiling as brightly as a sunflower, couldn't help feeling a little joy in his heart, with a faint smile on his face.

Shui Xiangdong wanted to come and hug him, but he restrained himself. Shui Xiangyang, who followed him, jumped onto Ni Hui with one step: "Brother Huihui!"

Ni Hui reached out and touched Shui Xiangyang's head: "Yangyang seems to have grown taller."

Shui Xiangdong looked at Ni Hui: "No, he has always been this short."

"Tch, I've obviously grown 0.5 centimeters taller!" Shui Xiangyang was not reconciled to his brother's slander, "Don't think that if you grow 2 centimeters, it's negligible for others to grow less."

Shui Xiangdong laughed loudly: "Hurry up and grow, don't be like a short winter melon. If you don't grow long, Yuanyuan will catch up with you." Shui Xiangdong stretched out his hand and took Yuanyuan for Chen Liping, "Auntie , I'll hug my sister."

Chen Liping said: "Okay. Xiangdong has indeed grown taller. How tall is it now?"

Shui said to the east: "1 meter 74."

Zhang Taiqing said while lifting something from the trunk: "Then he must be a tall man."

Ni Hui also went to help, and said abruptly: "Maybe it will grow in the front, and it will not grow in the future." What he said was purely against his conscience. Shui Xiangdong was 1 meters tall in his previous life, taller than him. There is no lack of nutrition, only tall and not short.

Shui Xiangdong just looked at Ni Hui with a smile on his face. Although he was pushed out by him, why did he sound so happy in his heart.

Grandpa and grandma also came down from upstairs, helping to carry things, Ni Hui ran up to hug grandma: "Grandma! Grandpa! I'm back."

The two old people nodded happily: "Okay, it's good to come back, and come back to accompany us when you have time. Huihui has lost weight."

Ni Hui laughed: "The dishes made by the nanny at home are not as delicious as those made by grandma. Shanghai dishes are too sweet, and they always add sugar when they stir-fry vegetables."

"Then eat more at grandma's house."

"Okay, I want to eat three big bowls." Ni Hui said childish words to make grandma happy. He saw grandpa smiling at him with his hands behind his back, so he walked over and hugged grandpa's arm, "Grandpa, I miss you so much."

Grandpa sniffed and patted the back of his grandson's hand: "Grandpa misses you very much too, so come back and see when you have time. Are you happy in Shanghai?"

"Well, it's not bad. Grandpa, I'll help you upstairs."

When Ni Hui saw the furnishings in the room, he had a feeling of strangeness and familiarity. The room hadn't been tidied up when he left, and the current furnishings were different from the previous ones.But the furniture is all familiar to me, and it was all moved from my grandmother's house, so I still feel kind.

There was a gauze cover on the table, and grandma said with concern: "Go and wash your hands, so you can eat, are you hungry?"

"No, we ate snacks in the car. Have you eaten?" Ni Hui asked.

Shui Xiangyang shook his head and said, "No, we are waiting for you all to have dinner together."

The table was full of Ni Hui's favorite dishes, and there were two dishes that took a lot of time, which showed grandma's ardent anticipation. Ni Hui felt particularly guilty when he thought about how hard grandma had put in for him while eating.

Shui Xiangdong sat next to him and brought him some food: "Grandma made this big yellow croaker for you specially, you should eat more."

Ni Hui raised the bowl to avoid it: "I'll do it myself, don't hold it for me."

Shui Xiangdong had no choice but to put the piece of fish he caught into his mouth and eat it. He didn't dare to stroke Ni Hui's hair now, and he came back after a long time.What made him very happy was that he wrote a letter asking Ni Hui to come back, and he called back saying that he would be back on National Day.

Now the National Day holiday has not yet started, the holiday is too short, and there are only three days in total on weekends, it takes almost a day on the road, and the time spent at home is only two days and two nights, so everyone cherishes it.Shui Xiangdong never left Ni Hui even an inch, for fear of missing a glance at him.He called both Zhang Yong and Sha Hanming to his home, so that Ni Hui could not only meet his friends, but also be with his grandparents.

Shui Xiangdong was so nice to Ni Hui that even Zhang Taiqing could tell, he said with a smile: "Xiangdong really takes care of us Xiaohui, the relationship between the two is really good."

Ni Hui glanced at Shui Xiangdong, with a warning in his eyes, Shui Xiangdong understood, and hurriedly said to Zhang Taiqing, "Uncle Zhang, I lost a bet with Ni Hui, so I will be his younger brother now."

Zhang Taiqing laughed: "So that's the case, what's the bet?"

"Bet whether he can eat three bowls of rice at noon." Shui Xiangdong said casually.

Several adults laughed.

There was a smile on the corner of Ni Hui's mouth, but there was no smile in his eyes. He just glanced at the water and looked east. This guy was simply too complacent, and it would be so bright if he gave him some sunshine.He came back to accompany his grandparents, not to watch him go eastward.

Shui Xiangdong knew that he had too much presence, which attracted everyone's attention, and at the same time aroused Ni Hui's vigilance and disgust. The gain was not worth the loss, so he could not help but shrink his neck secretly, and ran to the side to play with Yuanyuan.

Everyone asked about Ni Hui's life in Shanghai. When Ni Hui talked about it, he felt a little lacklustre. Except for the bear-like homeroom teacher, there was really nothing interesting.

Sha Hanming said in surprise, "You haven't even made any friends?"

Ni Hui said, "Isn't there some friends like you?"

"No friends in Shanghai? That's too lonely. Isn't it boring to practice calligraphy in class every day?" Zhang Yong looked at him sympathetically.

Ni Hui hiccupped, it seems that this is really the case, Shanghai is different from his hometown, the neighbors rarely come and go, he doesn't like ball games very much, and he doesn't know the children in the community very much, and he always comes and goes in the school, except The few students sitting around didn't have much contact with other people.

Chen Liping said: "Xiaohui is like a big girl now, reading books and practicing calligraphy at home when she has nothing to do."

Shui Xiangdong looked at Ni Hui with concern, his eyes full of worry.Ni Hui felt that he was a bit too nerdy when everyone said this, so he said: "Isn't this just a new environment, I will make friends in the future, don't worry."

The few friends couldn’t tell whether they were happy or sad. Ni Hui always regarded them as his best friends, and no one could replace them. It's sad.

Sha Hanming said: "It would be great if you didn't go to Shanghai, Niba. We are still playing together, how nice it is."

Ni Hui didn't make a sound, just smiled.

After dinner, Chen Liping was going to stay at the hotel, and asked Ni Hui, "Xiaohui, are you going to the hotel with us?"

Ni Hui glanced at Shui Xiangdong and said, "I won't go, I'll sleep with Yangyang."

"That's fine, we'll come back tomorrow morning." Chen Liping and Zhang Taiqing took their daughter and left.

When going to sleep, my grandmother took out the quilt for Ni Hui to use. It was a bit cold at night in October, so I needed to cover myself with a thin quilt.Shui Xiangdong rushed over: "Grandma, I'm here, you go and rest, you've been busy all day today."

Grandma smiled gratifiedly: "I'm not tired. I'm glad Huihui is back."

Ni Hui felt sore when he heard this: "Grandma, I will come back to celebrate the New Year after my winter vacation, and I will go to Shanghai after school starts."

"Okay." Grandma nodded happily.

Shui Xiangdong took away the original quilt on the bed, and put the new quilt on the bed: "Yangyang, you sleep with brother Huihui, sleep well, don't roll around. There are also your comic books, don't mess around Throw it away and put it all away. Boys need to be clean so that they can marry a wife in the future."

"Obey!" Shui Xiangyang put away his comic books and piled them beside his pillow, "Brother, you are so perverted, you want to marry a wife when you are so old."

Shui Xiangdong took a peek at Ni Hui, who was talking to his grandmother, and reached out to pat his younger brother on the head: "This kind of thing should be planned early, so that there will be no danger. Good habits should be developed from an early age."

Shui Xiangdong said to Ni Hui: "Ni Hui, the bed is made, you can go to sleep. It's been a hard ride for so long today."

Ni Hui yawned: "I'm going to brush my teeth."

When he came back, he saw Shui Xiangdong making a bed in the study. Ni Hui wandered in and looked at the whole study. The walls were covered with books, leaving only a gap between the windows and the door.Because there are too many books, and the age of the books is not short, there is an old smell in the room, which is not a good smell.Turning back to the east, Shui saw Ni Hui standing at the door, overjoyed, stood up and smiled at him without saying a word.

Ni Hui walked into the room and closed the door: "I have something to say clearly, I came back to my hometown not to see you, but to see my grandparents, so you don't have to rush back and forth, Got my uncle and my mother's attention."

Shui nodded to the east: "Okay, I'll be more careful."

"If you don't want me to quarrel with you, then you'd better be careful with your words. In this way, I can still be an ordinary friend with you. As for other things, don't think too much about it." Ni Hui said, and took it from the bookshelf. A book, glanced back at the water to the east, turned and left.

Shui Xiangdong froze in place, his smile froze on his face, his heart was full of unpleasant feelings.
