Rebirth do not come

After Dr. Ni Hui graduated, he found a job in the city's history museum.He is responsible for the exhibition display every day, and sometimes he also acts as a guest lecturer.

Shui Xiangdong felt sorry for him: "You are a dignified doctoral student, it is too talented to be a lecturer for others."

Ni Hui didn't think so: "What's an overkill? Mr. Shen Congwen has also been a lecturer for the Palace Museum. I'm more talented than him?"

Shui Xiangdong said: "You have to admit that it is indeed a waste for Shen Congwen to become a lecturer, isn't that an overkill?"

Ni Hui said: "This is only temporary for me, besides, I look at those things in the museum every day, which is also a kind of study and research."

"I think you might as well start your own collection, why waste time there." What Shui Xiangdong is most dissatisfied with is Ni Hui's rest time. He often has shifts on Saturdays and Sundays, and sometimes he only has one day off in a week. , The salary is extremely low, which is really not in line with his education and dedication.

Ni Hui shook his head: "I don't think it's a waste of time. I work in a museum and have access to much more cultural relics than ordinary people. Every master collector comes out of thin air? They have learned and accumulated for decades. I am still very young, so naturally I should learn."

"Then can you change your position and become an appraiser? The appraiser is not as hard as you. You can come into contact with more cultural relics than you are now, and you don't need to show your face." To put it bluntly, Shui Xiangdong feels distressed He has to stand outside and explain to others tirelessly.

Ni Hui squinted at him: "Are you trying to pack me up and hide?"

Why doesn't he want to be an appraiser, he doesn't have to deal with people, and the work is more pure, this is his favorite thing, but his current level is not up to the qualifications of an appraiser.He is currently in the Cultural Relics Research Center, which belongs to the display research department. In fact, this is the place where he can really learn. However, in addition to research, this department also has display. At present, his focus is on display and exhibition.Because the leaders of the museum think that he has a good image and sufficient academic qualifications, and can represent the quality and image of the museum, so he must be assigned to the front line. When there are large-scale important exhibitions, or some important guests are received, he will be in charge of explaining. member.

Shui Xiangdong said, "I think there are many tourists who go just for you."

Ni Hui said lightly: "I'm not a cultural relic, what's there to see."

"What's so interesting about cultural relics? Ni Hui who can catch up with me?" Shui Xiangdong put his arms around Ni Hui's waist, tying him tightly like an octopus. "Actually, I really want to pack you up. Others looked at it. Is your curator introducing you to a girlfriend again?"

Ni Hui struggled to get his arm out of his arms: "I didn't agree again. You don't have to go to work today, why are you still lying in bed like me." Today is Monday, and the museum is closed as usual, so he rests.

Shui Xiangdong played with his slender fingers: "I'm not going to work today, let's go buy a ring, put on the ring, and no one else will covet you, and if someone introduces you to a girlfriend in the future, you can just show the ring to her." People watched."

Ni Hui opened his half-closed eyes: "Are you proposing marriage?"

Shui Xiangdong chuckled: "Forget it."

Ni Hui bent one leg and kicked the water in the bed towards the east: "Get out, it's too informal."

Shui approached him eastward, held him tightly in his arms, and kissed his round and smooth shoulders: "When shall we go to register, to Canada or the Netherlands?"

Ni Hui was stunned for a moment: "Canada? Are you going to make fun of my mother?"

Shui Xiangdong said: "Actually, I think she has already begun to doubt us. It's better to have a showdown with her. She is no better than grandparents. You are already 28 years old. She was urging you to find a girlfriend last time when she came back. Do you think How long can I hide it?"

Speaking of grandpa and grandma, Ni Hui couldn't help being silent. When he was in the third year of graduate school, his grandpa died of illness at the age of 84. Two years after his death, his grandma followed him.Even though he had experienced decades and experienced life and death, when his grandfather and grandmother left, Ni Hui was heartbroken. To him, his grandfather and grandmother were more important than his mother. Feelings go deep into the flesh and blood, once peeled off, it is really unbearable pain.

Fortunately, Shui Xiangdong was always by his side at that time, and brothers Shui Xiangyang, Sha Hanming, and Zhang Yong also took time to accompany him, gathering every now and then to resolve his worries.On the other hand, my mother left after coming back for the funeral. For older people, they are more indifferent to life and death, thinking that this is just a natural change.Ni Hui also knew this was the case, but emotionally it was difficult to accept the departure of the closest person, as if two pieces of flesh and blood had been gouged out in his heart.

Shui Xiangdong didn't hear his reply for a while, thinking that he disagreed, so he said: "If you don't want to tell her, then don't tell her, just keep it a secret."

Ni Hui moved a little: "No, let's talk about it if there is a suitable opportunity. She has lived in Canada for many years, so she should be able to see this kind of thing." Her son is a comrade, so it shouldn't be a difficult task, and now that she has a younger sister, her attention will not be entirely on herself.

Shui Xiangdong laughed, and kissed him on the face: "Okay, let's go buy a ring today. Get up."

Since graduating from university, Shui Xiangdong has devoted himself to the company's management. Because of his technological advancement, he also took the opportunity to seize a mobile phone market. He not only makes mobile phone software, but also develops new smart phones. In Andy's Android When the system was put into the market, it took advantage of the shareholders to quickly develop the first Android phone, seized the domestic market, and made a fortune.

At the same time, he has completely taken over Chen Liping's company, and as the executive CEO, he is fully authorized to represent Chen Liping's company in all matters.The first thing he did when he took office was to eliminate Wang Zhihe's influence. The Wang family had been in the company for a long time, and their relationship was complicated. Shui Xiangdong took a lot of effort to reorganize the company.With the flourishing business volume, Chen Liping's trust and love for Shui Xiangdong increased day by day, and she almost regarded him as her other son.

These years, whenever Yuanyuan was on winter and summer vacations, Chen Liping would take her back for vacation. Yuanyuan was already a young girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, just at the age when she first fell in love.Ni Hui also guessed something about this thought: "My mother wants to recruit you as her son-in-law."

Shui looked at him eastward: "I'm already his son-in-law."

Ni Hui spat at him: "Bah, my daughter-in-law is pretty much the same."

Shui Xiangdong smiled and remained silent.

Ni Hui thought for a while and asked, "What if Yuanyuan likes you?"

Shui Xiangdong said, "Impossible."

"You're not her, how do you know?"

"I don't need to know, anyway, I can't possibly like such a fluffy girl. And I hardly hide my sexuality from her."

Ni Hui was surprised once: "You came out to her and said you were gay?"

Shui Xiangdong said: "Children who grow up abroad are precocious and outgoing. She asked me about my sexual orientation, and I didn't deny it."

Ni Hui looked at him like a monster: "I didn't know you have such a good relationship with my sister."

"That's your sister." In other words, if it was someone else, he wouldn't bother to talk to her.

Ni Hui thought for a moment: "If my mother disagrees with us, what will you do?"

Shui looked at him eastward: "It depends on what you do."

Ni Hui spread his hands: "Soldiers come to block the water and cover them with soil."

At Christmas, Chen Liping's whole family came back to China.Since fetching water to Xiangdong to take care of her company, she came back less often, at most two or three times a year, but each time she came back a little longer, usually with Yuanyuan, and occasionally a family of three all come back.

Chen Liping has been mobilizing her son to immigrate to Canada for the past two years, saying that her grandparents are gone, and there is nothing to worry about in China, so it is better to go to Canada and reunite with the whole family.

Ni Hui thought it was funny. He was an adult, and all his studies were in China, and his studies were such a major. What could he do when he left his home country and went to Canada?And that home, he always thought it was Chen Liping's home and had nothing to do with him.

Every time Chen Liping looked at her son, she always had the feeling of hating iron but not steel. It was a waste of time to study archaeology for ten years, learning something completely useless.After graduating and working in a museum, a dignified doctoral student can only get a salary of [-] to [-] yuan. If this is not the condition of their family, can they support themselves by working there?What future can there be?

Regarding this issue, the mother and son also had a lot of gaps. Chen Liping always felt that her son was gnawing at the old man. Fortunately, there was Shui Xiangdong to help.Chen Liping has to find a way to tie the water to the east, so that he can work for his family for the rest of his life.

"Yuanyuan, these days you go to the company to help and learn from brother Xiang Dong." Chen Liping confessed to her daughter.

Yuanyuan looked at her mother: "Mom, what can I do when I go? Apart from talking and listening, I don't even know a few Chinese characters. I want to be a wallflower?"

Chen Liping frowned and looked at her daughter: "I want you to learn how to manage the company. In the future, you will have a share in this company. Your brother doesn't want to take care of it, so don't you?"

Yuanyuan smiled and said, "Isn't Brother Dong taking care of it?"

Chen Liping looked at her daughter, and immediately hated iron and steel. Shui Xiangdong made much more money than their family, and she was willing to help manage the company, purely for the sake of her parents. In case people don't want to take care of it one day, who will take care of this company, it's best to give him an identity now, so that he can take care of it in a legitimate way in the future.She said earnestly to her daughter: "Yuanyuan, when mom asked you to go to the company, it's not necessarily to learn something, the main thing is to get in touch with Xiangdong."

Yuanyuan understood: "Mom, what are you thinking? Brother Dong will never look down on me." She understood what her mother was thinking. She wanted to win over Shui Xiangdong and make him a member of her family. It's better to count on her brother.

Chen Liping looked at her daughter: "Why?"

Yuanyuan said: "No reason, anyway, don't pin your hopes on me, I won't tell you anymore, I'm going out to play."

Chen Liping looked at her daughter. She was wearing a short skirt, long boots, and thin stockings on her legs in winter. She was not afraid of the low temperature of several degrees in Shanghai in winter. According to her, it was warmer than their home. too much.She has a hot body, more outstanding than when she was young, but she also has a lot of clothes.

She sighed, none of her sons and daughters are worried. Although Shui Xiangdong never said that he would not take care of the company for himself, but in the past two years, he has heard of the mobile phones produced by Shui Xiangdong in Canada. She makes a lot of money every day, but still manages the company for herself. It must be because of the affection of her acquaintances. Although she is also paid, the money will be earned back within a few days.She is ashamed to ask people to work for her for no reason.

This day happened to be Ni Hui's birthday, and Shui Xiangdong ordered a meal at a five-star hotel. He invited Chen Liping's family to dinner, and at the same time invited Sha Hanming and Zhang Yong. There were seven or eight people, and it was quite lively.

Chen Liping said: "I'm here today as the host, it's Ni Hui's birthday, how can I invite Xiang Dong to treat me?"

Shui Xiangdong said: "Let me come, Auntie, I have something to announce today, I will talk about it after dinner."

Chen Liping was nervous for a while, what did Shui Xiangdong want to say, he won't manage the company for himself, but this is a business matter, so he shouldn't bring it to the dinner table in front of so many irrelevant people.Chen Liping was thinking in her heart, what is going on?

The time was set at seven o'clock, Shui Xiangdong and Ni Hui arrived first, Ni Hui lowered his voice and said, "Are you really going to talk to my mother in front of everyone today?"

Shui Xiangdong said: "Everyone knows about it. I think it's okay to say it on this occasion, and Zhang Yong and Shazi are here. Your mother will definitely not get angry."

Ni Hui looked at Shui Xiangdong, and felt that this guy was doing a good job in business, and he really knew how to read people's hearts.

Not long after, Zhang Yong and Liu Muqing also arrived, Sha Hanming came later, and Chen Liping's family was the last to arrive. Yuanyuan looked around at the people on the table and was a little disappointed: "It's all here, only Xiangyang is missing." brother."

Shui Xiangdong said: "Xiangyang is holding an art exhibition in Beijing, and he is not in Shanghai for the time being."

Yuan Yuan looked disappointed: "I know, so he is the only one missing."

Ni Hui looked at his younger sister and smiled, the little girl was obviously more interested in Shui Xiangyang than Shui Xiangdong.

Zhang Taiqing held a box and handed it to Ni Hui: "Xiaohui, uncle gave you a birthday present."

Ni Hui took it over: "Thank you uncle."

Chen Liping directly gave her son a secondary card: "This is a birthday gift from your mother. The upper limit is 100 million. If you want to buy anything, you can buy it yourself."

Ni Hui looked at the card and refused to pick it up: "Mom, I'm not short of money to spend, so there's no need for it." I'm not a kid anymore, so it's better to just buy some presents if you give money.

"Mom, you're too tacky, just give a card as a birthday present." Yuanyuan walked over, put her arms around Ni Hui's neck, kissed him on the cheek, and said with a smile, "Brother, I gave you this." A gift, a kiss."

Shui Xiangdong smiled: "You really know how to save, you have saved all the gifts, right?"

Yuanyuan took out a beautiful box from behind: "Of course I lied to you. The gift I picked for my brother is light on gifts and heavy on affection, so don't take offense."

Ni Hui took it over: "Thank you Yuanyuan."

Yuanyuan said: "When you receive a gift, you should quickly open it to see it. I like to open presents the most." The child is abroad, and he has also learned the living habits of foreigners.

Shui Xiangdong said, "Open the presents, I'll call for the food." He rang the bell.

Ni Hui unwrapped everyone's presents, and what Yuanyuan gave was a silver silk tie, very elegant.What Zhang Taiqing sent was a Swiss mechanical watch, which was probably worth a lot, but he already had a watch.What Zhang Yong and his wife gave was a Duan inkstone, and it was obvious from a glance that it was picked by Liu Muqing.What Sha Hanming sent was a Qingtian stone seal without engraving on one side. Ni Hui started to learn seal carving in recent years and collected a lot of seals.When a friend gives a gift, he can always find what he likes, but the price will definitely not be cheap.

Ni Hui said: "You all spend too much money, just come and celebrate my birthday with me, and you don't need to send such expensive gifts."

Zhang Yong smiled and said, "I'm just reciprocating."

Sha Hanming said, "Me too."

In the past few years, Shui Xiangdong helped them speculate in stocks and made a lot of money. Although the stock market was in a downturn, because of his foresight, he never missed a deal.Needless to say, the two of them have earned their houses back. Before they were 30 years old, they owned a house of their own in Shanghai, and their wife already had it, so they can rest easy.

Yuanyuan said, "Oh, why didn't you see the gift that Brother Dong gave to Brother?"

Shui Xiangdong said, "I'll deliver my gift later, let's eat first."

The food was already on the table, and the dishes were exquisite. Ni Hui took the lead, and everyone began to eat and drink.Only Chen Liping was disappointed. Her son accepted everyone's gifts, but she didn't.

Shui Xiangdong also ordered wine: "Drink some wine, and ask someone to drive you back later."

Everyone opened their bellies to drink and eat food. With Zhang Yong present, the scene is easy to be lively. Yuanyuan is also a very funny girl. Although Chen Liping's pressure is relatively low, she was quickly overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of young people. Did not affect the whole scene.

Halfway through the meal, Chen Liping said: "You guys grew up together, but after so many years, why is it that only Zhang Yong has found a girlfriend? Ni Hui, the three of you are all behind, you have to hurry up OK."

Zhang Yong drank happily, a little numb, and said casually: "Actually, the only thing I haven't found is the sand."

Chen Liping heard it, and turned to look at Ni Hui and Shui Xiangdong: "Both of you are looking for girlfriends? Why don't you bring them here?"

Shui Xiangdong was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Auntie, let's eat first, and we will talk about this after eating."

Chen Liping was a little disappointed, Shui Xiangdong had already found a girlfriend, and this child was about to become someone else's son-in-law, what a pity, she couldn't help but cast a glance at her heartless daughter.

Ni Hui glanced at his mother's expression, the expression of regretting that Shui Xiangdong became someone else's son-in-law is too obvious, if she knew that Shui Xiangdong was with him, what would her expression be?

After the meal, the waiter removed all the plates from the table, brought up fruit and a big cake, lit candles, everyone sang Happy Birthday to Ni Hui, and then blew out the candles to make a wish.

After the lights came back on, Shui Xiangdong stood up, cleared his throat, and said, "Next, I have something very important to announce." He pulled the chair away, and took out a suede bag from his pocket. Open the box, and knelt down on one knee towards Ni Hui beside him, "Ni Hui, I solemnly propose to you today and invite you to spend the rest of my life together, please promise me!"

Everyone present, including Ni Hui, was intimidated. He didn't expect Shui Xiangdong to come out in such a direct and stupid way. The ring had been ordered a long time ago, but he hadn't given it to him. It turned out that he was waiting here. It's on.

Zhang Yong and Sha Hanming, the two insiders, looked very surprised, but they quickly realized that they turned their faces to Chen Liping, and found that it was not them, but Chen Liping's family of three who had more exciting expressions.Yuanyuan stood up abruptly, and then exclaimed: "So that's the case, why didn't I think of it. Brother Dong, you like my brother!"

Zhang Taiqing had a very strange expression on his face, he couldn't tell what it was like, while Chen Liping was completely dumbfounded, her expression was blank.

Shui Xiangdong raised his head to look at Ni Hui, staring into his eyes with burning eyes, motioning for him to accept quickly.Ni Hui finally came to his senses, took the ring in his hand, and pulled him up: "Okay, I agree." Shui Xiangdong laughed, took out the ring and prepared to put it on his finger.

Chen Liping suddenly slapped the table and stood up: "Slow down, what are you doing?"

Shui Xiangdong grabbed Ni Hui's hand, turned to look at Chen Liping: "Auntie, we have never told you about this. I have been with Ni Hui for many years, and now I solemnly propose to him, and I may go to Canada in the future Marriage certificate."

The blood on Chen Liping's face suddenly faded: "You two are together? What does this mean?" She has been in Canada for many years, so she has heard of homosexuality. Every year there are many gay parades in Canada. Yuanyuan sometimes I will also join in the fun.But she always felt that it was a novelty made by white people and black people, and it had never had anything to do with her, but now, today, her son is going to be with another man, the man she always wanted to be Son-in-law, what is this, son-in-law?

Ni Hui said firmly: "Mom, I like Shui Xiangdong, and he likes me too. The two of us are together and we will get married in the future."

Chen Liping suppressed her anger and excitement. In front of outsiders, she didn't want to get angry, so she lowered her head, put her hand on her forehead, and said after a while: "Let's not talk about this now, let's eat cake first." , there are still guests."

Shui Xiangdong and Ni Hui looked at each other. It seemed that Chen Liping was not that easy to deal with, but fortunately, she did not lose her composure and had good control. Under Chen Liping's complicated and sharp eyes, Shui Xiangdong still insisted on keeping the One ring was put on Ni Hui's ring finger, and Ni Hui put the other one, which was slightly larger, on the east side.
