Rebirth Delay

When I woke up again, I saw the white wall above my head and the rotating electric fan instead of the asbestos tiles with small holes.Under the body is a real big bed, not the door plank bed that he usually sleeps on.

Subconsciously, he turned his head to look for the little person beside him. He was curled up on the side of the bed, sleeping soundly, half of his body was exposed outside the bed, and he was about to fall.When Shi Yan came back to his senses, he stretched out his hand to pinch Xu Ze's waist to bring him back. He felt that his thin body seemed to be heavier than before, and he couldn't help being happy.

"Still pretending to be asleep?" Shi Yan smiled and pinched Xu Ze's nose.When he reached out to grab him just now, he clearly felt Xu Ze's body trembling slightly, as if holding back a smile.

Xu Ze suddenly opened his eyes, blinked his long eyelashes, and said, holding back a dissatisfied smile, "Why does brother expose me every time?"

Reluctantly, Shi Yan lowered his head and kissed him on the forehead, and said, "Okay, next time you pretend to be asleep, I'll leave you alone. I'll go out by myself, okay?"

"Not good!" Xu Ze sat up awkwardly, and dexterously grabbed Shi Yan's back, "Brother, you can't leave me behind."

"Okay, I won't leave you behind." Shi Yan really felt that he had more and more potential as a baby daddy.

"Then I want you to carry me to brush your teeth." Xu Ze put his arms around Shi Yan's neck and ordered loudly.

"Well, I'll brush your teeth for you, you stay at home today." Shi Yan said with a smile.

"No——" Xu Ze rolled back on the bed from Shi Yan, yelling and rolling all over the bed, Shi Yan looked helpless, and suddenly felt that Xu Ze, who was too noisy, was quite a headache, so he simply stood by the side without saying a word Watch him make trouble.

Maybe it's because of the strange excitement of just moving in, or because Shi Yan's pampering subtly induced Xu Ze's latent liveliness. Anyway, as long as there are only the two of them in the room, Xu Ze is like a little lunatic Happy to have fun everywhere.

Shi Yan could clearly feel that this kind of joy was too much, as if his excitement had been stimulated, he couldn't help jumping around.

"Brother..." After Shi Yan was silent for a long time, Xu Ze's mood gradually calmed down. Looking at the messy bed with crumpled mats, Xu Ze felt a little uneasy.Recalling all the actions just now, he was a little confused and surprised.In fact, his temperament tends to be quiet and shy, and it is rare for him to be joyous without knowing it.

"Am I sick?" Xu Ze looked at Shi Yan in panic, and slowly crawled to the edge of the bed and hugged Shi Yan's waist.

Shi Yan sighed softly, held him tightly in his arms, and comforted him in a low voice, "No, Ozawa is not sick, Ozawa is just too happy, and my brother is also happy."

Xu Ze buried his head and said sullenly, "But my brother didn't roll around on the bed."

Shi Yan laughed and pulled the man out of his arms, "You think everyone is like you, like a little pig, huddling on the bed."

Xu Ze felt that he should be angry when his brother said that, but thinking about his actions, he pursed his lips and felt a little sad. "Brother, are you angry? You didn't speak just now."

"No." Shi Yan said, "As long as Ozawa stays by my side obediently, I will never be angry with Ozawa."

"Well, I'm not going anywhere, bro."

The two of them got tired of crooked for a while before getting up.

Just after tidying up, Sun Xiu walked in with a smile and said, "Hey, are you two up?"

Shi Yan nodded, Xu Ze called his aunt, Sun Xiu's eyes became crescent moons, he took Xu Ze's hand, and said, "Come on, let's go to eat. Your uncle didn't move his chopsticks, he was just waiting for you." .”

Knowing that he couldn't evade, Shi Yan complied, and followed Sun Xiu and Xu Ze into the front yard.There was a table in the main hall, and Tang Anmin was sitting by the table, looking towards the southwest direction of the room.It is estimated that there is a TV set there, and the delay can even hear the movement on the TV.It seems to be playing a war movie, and the hail of bullets is mixed with orders like "Go!"

When Shi Yan walked in, Tang Anmin turned around with a gentle expression. Seeing Sun Xiu pulling Xu Ze, he stretched out his hand to greet Shi Yan, "Come here, sit down and eat."

Sure enough, a war movie was playing on the TV.These days, men like to watch tunnel warfare, mine warfare, armed forces behind enemy lines, railway guerrillas and so on. Shi Yan remembers that when he was [-] or [-] years old in his previous life, he would occasionally sneak through someone's window and watch their TV. Machine gun, I still dream when I go back, holding a machine gun at the enemy is just a random sweep.

Xu Ze stared at the TV and didn't move. Shi Yan pulled him to sit beside him, seeing his concentration and unblinking eyes, he couldn't help laughing.

There is an aluminum pot on the table, and there is corn porridge in the pot, and sweet potato chunks can be seen faintly in the rice.Next to it is a basket with gauze wrapped in a few flatbreads.In the middle are two dishes, pickled cucumbers and stir-fried cabbage.There is a bowl next to it, and there are four or five round eggs in the bowl.

Sun Xiu served the rice with a smile, and put a bowl for Shi Yan and Xu Ze first, and then served it for herself and Tang Anmin.When Shi Yan wanted to do it himself, Sun Xiu pretended to be angry and glared at him, so Shi Yan had no choice but to sit quietly.

"Xiao Ze, eat an egg." Tang Anmin handed an egg to Xu Ze, lowered his head slightly, and said softly.

Xu Ze glanced at the eggs, then looked back at Shi Yan, Shi Yan nodded, and then he smiled and went on, loudly saying, "Thank you, Uncle Tang."

"No thanks." Tang Anmin smiled slightly.

In the corner of the eye, Sun Xiu lowered her head and drank the porridge, but her face had a look of relief.

"Can you peel it?" Shi Yan patted Xu Ze's head and said.

"Yeah." Xu Ze took the egg and knocked it on the table, then rolled it around on the table, and the shell of the egg was completely broken.Then cut open one of the eggshells, and when you pull it, the white and tender egg whites are exposed.

"Brother." Xu Ze held up the egg and handed it to Shi Yan's mouth.

Sun Xiu quickly said, "There are still others, Xiao Ze eats by himself."

Xu Ze still raised his hand, looking at Shi Yan with stubborn eyes, Shi Yan reached out and pinched his chin, lowered his head, and bit a piece of the egg, the yolk inside popped out.Xu Ze withdrew his hand, took a look, grinned, and laughed.

"Ozawa is so good." Sun Xiu couldn't help but said.Although most of the children nowadays are not only children, there are really fewer and fewer children who eat a little food like this.

"Ah."

The porridge was still a little hot, and Xu Ze burned his tongue after taking a sip.Tang Anmin taught him to hold the bowl, turn it around and drink in small sips.Sure enough, it wasn't so hot anymore, Xu Ze followed suit with a decent face.

Sun Xiu gave one person an egg, broke the cake and asked one by one if they wanted it.Xu Ze didn't have much appetite, so he shook his head.Shi Yan took a small piece, but Tang Anmin felt that he had a good appetite, so he broke off more than half of the cake.

"Is it salty?" Sun Xiu picked up a chopstick of pickled cucumber for Xu Ze, soaked it in porridge, and asked with concern when Xu Ze ate a slice.

"Well, a little bit, it's delicious." Xu Ze raised his hand, and he stuffed a piece of cucumber into Shi Yan's mouth.

The meal was almost finished, Tang Anmin slowed down, looked at Shi Yan, and said, "I heard from Sun Chen that you want to support yourself and Ozawa?"

"Hmm." Shi Yan nodded cautiously.

"Then have you thought about what to do?" Tang Anmin asked.

Shi Yan paused for a moment, and Sun Xiu hurriedly glanced at Tang Anmin, and said, "Eat well, and if you have anything to say, let's talk about it after eating."

"It's okay." Shi Yan smiled at Sun Xiu, and said calmly, "I plan to take advantage of the last month of summer vacation to sell wholesale popsicles in the village. When Ozawa starts school, I will set up a stall next to the school. Sell ​​some snacks and books, and make some money first."

Tang Anmin nodded and said, "Well, that's a good idea, at least it's pragmatic. If you really do it well, you can make a lot of money. It's a hot day, if you want to sell popsicles in the village, it's best to ride a bicycle. The bicycle is at the side entrance, you just have to push it away by yourself. If there is anything else that needs help, just let me know, and I will try my best to help you find a way."

Sun Xiu also nodded and said: "Yes, you are still young, we can help you."

Shi Yan smiled, "Then thank you, Uncle Tang, Aunt Sun. When I make a lot of money in the future, I will definitely repay you."

Sun Xiu wanted to say that helping you was voluntary, but whoever wanted your repayment, was about to open her mouth when she saw the light of admiration in Tang Anmin's eyes, and the words on her lips unconsciously changed to "Okay, then your uncle and I will wait Let you make a lot of money, don't forget about us when the time comes, haha."

After dinner, Shi Yan pushed the bicycle and took Xu Ze out.

Carrying Xu Ze into the back seat, Shi Yan pushed the car while walking, and asked Xu Ze, "Xiao Ze, do you like aunt and uncle?"

"I like it." Xu Ze said without thinking.

Shi Yan hummed and stopped talking.

"Brother, don't you like them?" Xu Ze asked doubtfully.

"No, they treat us so well, of course my brother likes them," Shi Yan turned his head and smiled, and said, "But Ozawa, you have to remember, no one in this world has to treat you well, so even if they don't want to reciprocate, you We must also remember this kindness, and one day we will repay it ten times and a hundred times. In this way, we will owe less debts of favor and live a more stable life in the future. On the contrary, if you help others, you You must learn to forget, because a person who is truly kind does not ask for anything in return, so he will not always remember that he has done kindness to others.”

"Yeah." Xu Ze nodded half-understood, and said again, "What about my brother, he takes care of me so much, I will repay him well in the future."

"Fool," Shi Yan scratched Xu Ze's nose with a smile, and said seriously, "Brother is different. Brother is a family member, someone Ozawa can always rely on, understand? Brother treats you voluntarily, Therefore, there is no need for Ozawa to repay me."

"Then it's the same for me. I treat my elder brother voluntarily, and my elder brother doesn't need to repay me." Xu Ze said seriously.

"Yeah." Shi Yan laughed, "Then you should grow up quickly, brother is waiting for you to treat me well."

"Well! Brother, when will I grow up?" Xu Ze asked.

"One day they will grow up." Shi Yan said.

"When is one day?" Xu Ze asked.

"Ten years from now, I will grow up at the age of 16."

"How long is ten years?" Xu Ze asked.

Shi Yan rode a bicycle and took Xu Ze to the popsicle wholesale shop on the street.Wholesale popsicles from here are generally small shops in the village.After all, in this year, there are very few people who really own freezers or refrigerators.

Hearing that Shiyan will come to wholesale popsicles every day after that, the boss is quite happy.Walking around the village selling popsicles can make a little money, but not everyone can stick to it under the sun that can burn people.Thinking that Shi Yan has an independent spirit and economic mind, the boss also gave him a tin box, which is a suitable foam box, covered with a layer of plastic paper, put ice cubes, put the popsicles in, and it will be ready It is stored for a long time without melting.

Probably because there were not many people in the store, the boss handed a popsicle to Xu Ze, and sat down with time delay to talk about how to keep the popsicle for a longer period of time.Shi Yan wanted to say that there would be an ultra-small refrigerator for cars in the future, but he was afraid that if the boss didn't believe it, it would be useless.So he shut his mouth and listened to the boss's nonsense, until his daughter went to junior high school in the county next semester.

However, the result of this time-consuming is also obvious, and finally the boss gave a great discount for the delay.

Popsicles at this time do not have as many tricks as later generations, but they can always become the unique hope in the hearts of children.

The most common popsicles are the old popsicles with one hair. They are white water with sugar added and frozen into a cuboid. The taste is simple, cold and sweet, hard, and the mouth is full of air-conditioning after biting.

Then there are two cents a bag of water ice cubes, which is the same as the first method of making, that is, the cuboid is cut into small pieces and packed into small bags.

Fifty cents are milk popsicles, usually with some milk added, in addition to the sweetness, there is also a fragrance of milk.The children got hungry and pestered the adults to make a fuss, and milk popsicles were also selling well.

There are also seven hairs, which are made of plastic shells in the shape of fruits, such as gourds or pears, which are delicious and interesting, and are also very popular with children.

More expensive is the milk popsicle with milk raisins. The sweetness is mixed with the sour and soft taste of milk raisins, which always makes people drool when they think about it.This kind of popsicle is sold one by one, and few people buy it.

Because Xu Ze followed, the delay didn't take much.Except for the milk raisin popsicles, Shi Yan took some of everything, making up twenty sticks.Among them, ten old popsicles, four bags of water ice cubes, three milk popsicles and three fruit-flavored popsicles each.

It was five yuan and four yuan, but the boss only charged five yuan.He also negotiated with Shi Yan that as he buys more, the unit price of various popsicles will be reduced by an appropriate amount in the future, giving him enough discounts.

Delay is still very satisfied with this result.

Because Xu Ze had to sit in the back seat, the big tin box could only be stuffed in the front basket.The box is too big and can only fit in one corner.

Xu Ze wanted to follow, but Shi Yan refused to let him. With one hand steady on the handlebar and the other hand on the box, he rode along the path into the road leading from the village to the fields.

This month, it is the busy time of farming.The road is full of children playing and laughing.Shi Yan also knows that when parents have to work in the fields and don't take care of their children, they will stuff a few cents in their pockets so that they can buy something to eat when they are hungry.

Time delay is the idea of ​​​​marking these children.
