Rebirth Delay

Saying goodbye to my friends, it was already four o'clock when I got home.Xu Ze usually took a nap, but now he was still immersed in the excitement just now, and his sleepiness had already flown away.When Shi Yan came out with a basin of water, Xu Ze sat obediently on the small bench, picked the grapes one by one, and washed them in the water.Then excitedly ran to the front yard and gave it to Sun Xiu and Tang Anmin to eat.

After a while, I ran back with my pockets full.Shi Yan took it out and saw that it was two oranges with green skins.

"Is it hot?" Shi Yan touched Xu Ze's hand.

"Well," Xu Ze nodded, the hair on his forehead was wet, and strands of it lay on his forehead, "Brother, cut your hair."

"Okay, let me boil some water first. Shampoo and take a shower after cutting your hair, okay?"

"Well, I want you to take a bath with me." Xu Ze followed behind Shi Yan, fanning the wind with a fan.

"Okay, let's sit and blow on the electric fan. You didn't take a nap today, aren't you tired?" Shi Yan washed Xu Ze's face, then wiped his body, stroked Xu Ze's hair, and said with a smile, " You can braid your hair."

Xu Ze's hair used to be a little dry and yellow, but now that nutrition has gradually caught up, his hair has become black and shiny, soft and smooth, and feels good to the touch.

Xu Ze also pulled his hair, his eyelids drooped, and he said, "Well, I wasn't too tired at first, but when you said it, brother, I became sleepy."

"Then I'll boil the water first, you can sit and rest." Shi Yan said.

"I'll be with my brother, or I'll fall asleep later." Xu Ze said, rubbing his eyes and sitting up.

"It's hot in the kitchen."

"It's ok."

After the water was boiled, Shi Yan took the scissors to cut Xu Ze's hair.In his previous life, when his own hair grew long, he would take the scissors and snap a few scissors down to cut it clean. Although the workmanship was not good, it was neat and not like a dog chewing on it.

Xu Ze felt drowsy and tried to stay awake.Time delay is a bit of a pity, it would be great if he could shave his head while he was asleep.With a smile on the corner of his mouth, the time delay scissors flew over Xu Ze's head quickly, and his long and short hair fell on the towel around Xu Ze's neck.

Not long after, Shi Yan patted Xu Ze on the shoulder and said, "It's finished." Xu Ze opened his eyes in a jerk, and looked at himself in the mirror, a little dazed.

The child in the mirror has neat bangs on his forehead, the length is just a little above the eyebrows, and the hair on both sides is relatively long, leaving it on the cheeks, which sets off the white, tender and round face even more pink and jade-like, very cute.The hair on the back was not cut too much, and it reached the back of the neck.Originally, the combination of long hair and delicate appearance made male and female indistinguishable, but now it is obvious that it is a boy, but it is more detailed than ordinary boys.

Xu Ze liked it very much, and Shi Yan was also very happy.

Shi Yan washed Xu Ze's hair with warm water, took a bath with Xu Ze, changed Xu Ze into short-sleeved shorts with Ultraman printed on it, and lay down on the bed with Xu Ze, who was all fragrant and smooth.

"Brother?" Xu Ze put one leg on Shi Yan's body, looked sideways at Shi Yan who closed his eyes, and called out softly.

"Huh?" Shi Yan didn't open his eyes, and grunted in his throat.

"Brother, I can't sleep anymore." Xu Ze touched Shi Yan's ear and leaned forward, "Brother, will you take me with you when you sell popsicles tomorrow? I'm not afraid of the heat."

"No, the weather is too hot, you will suffer from heat stroke, and you will get prickly heat." Shi Yan opened his eyes and said.

"Brother..." Xu Ze felt a little reconciled.

"Xiao Ze," Shi Yan hugged Xu Ze into his arms, and put a soft kiss on his face, "Don't let brother worry, be good, okay? School is about to start, Xiao Ze has to prepare well , do more questions. In a few days, the children will go to school, and you can play with them at school. When the weather gets cooler, you can go out by yourself without your brother taking you, as long as you are careful."

The child is always very playful, and Shi Yan understands it, but he is really worried. Although Xu Ze had a fever and went to the doctor in time last time, Xu Ze's body is still much weaker than those children running around the village.

"Yeah." Xu Ze nodded obediently, rubbed against Shi Yan's face, nodded with Shi Yan's nose, and laughed.

"Is my brother going to sell popsicles tomorrow?" Xu Ze asked, "How?"

"Well, when the time comes, brother will shout while riding the bicycle." Shi Yan smiled.

"What are you calling?" Xu Ze asked curiously.

Shi Yan cleared his throat and prolonged his voice, "Sell--stick-ice--buy-no-buy-stick-ice-oh-"

"Pfft——" Xu Ze laughed loudly, imitating his appearance, and shouted under his voice, "Sell—stick—ice—"

Shi Yan also found it funny, and pinching Xu Ze's nose, the last word "喵" changed completely.

Shouting like this, Shi Yan suddenly had a flash of inspiration, squeezed Xu Ze's cheeks, and said, "I think of a song, do you want to listen to it?"

"Yeah!" Xu Ze praised him to save face.

A look of nostalgia appeared on Shi Yan's face, and he sang slowly——

If the wine is sold, there is no

what a familiar voice

How many years of wind and rain have you been with me

never need to remember

Never forget

there is no heaven and earth

there is no home

There is no home without you

there is no me without you

假如 你 不 养育 我

给 我 温暖 的 生活

假如 你 不 保护 我

我 的 命运 将 是 什么

是 你 抚养 我 长大

accompany me to say the first sentence

you gave me a home

让 我 与 你 拥有 它

Shi Yan didn't continue to sing, he didn't have the feeling of attachment in the lyrics, he just felt a little emotional about the first sentence.His only impression of his childhood home was that every evening, an uncle with a white towel tied on his head would pass by on a tricycle, and when the gong sounded, his hoarse voice would rise, "Take away the waste wine bottles—— Who has waste wine bottles, waste wood boards, waste paper and waste household appliances, sell them—”

This voice is always in my memory, slowly going away and disappearing in the sunset.

When I was with Liu Zi, I remembered this song after hearing it sung frequently by one of Liu Zi's subordinates.That person was not very social, and when everyone was drinking and eating meat, he would always sit on the side of the stone pile and sing this song in a low voice, with tears all over his face.He didn't stop until Liu Zi couldn't take it anymore and cursed hard.

"Brother, what does the first sentence mean?" Xu Ze's voice interrupted Shi Yan's thoughts.

"If there is no dried wine for sale, does it mean that there are wine bottles for sale?" Shi Yan replied with his arms around him.

"Does anyone else use this to write songs?" Xu Ze smiled, "It's really fun."

"Yeah." Shi Yan nodded, but he began to understand that person's state of mind.Perhaps, he also has an unforgettable past.However, he didn't have the opportunity to do it all over again.

Thinking about it this way, how much God has favored me.

"Brother, I want to eat your cooking tonight..." Xu Ze said, his voice lowered.

Shi Yan glanced at it, and the child in his arms had closed his eyes at some point, his hands were still pulling at the corner of his clothes, and he was still calling softly, "Brother..."

"Okay, I'll do it for you when I wake up." Shi Yan whispered.

Covering Xu Ze's stomach with a sheet, Shi Yan also closed his eyes.

At [-]:[-], Shi Yan woke up, knowing that if Xu Ze was allowed to sleep again, he might not be able to fall asleep again at night, so he woke up.

Xu Ze didn't feel sleepy, and fell limply on the bed.Shi Yan looked amused, put on shoes for him, and carried him to the kitchen.

Sun Xiu cooked the rice and was about to cut the vegetables. Seeing Shi Yan coming in with Xu Ze on his back, he couldn't help laughing, "What's the matter? You're so grown-up, and you still need your brother to carry it?"

"Didn't wake up." Shi Yan smiled.

Xu Ze blinked, seeing Sun Xiu was looking at him and smiling, he slid off Shi Yan's back in embarrassment, and stood up straight.

"There are a lot of dishes, you haven't eaten at noon, what do you want to eat at night?" Sun Xiu asked.

"Ma'am, let me do it. You just need to light the fire." Shi Yan said.

"Yeah, you know how to cook?" Sun Xiu asked in surprise.

"Well, my brother can make it! My brother's cooking is very, very delicious!" Xu Ze, a loyal little fan, hurriedly responded, nodding his head heavily to express his emphasis.

"Haha, what Ozawa said must be true. Well, let me let go today, take a break, and wait to taste the skill of time delay." Sun Xiu put down the knife and sat down on the stove. A fire was set before the altar.

Xu Ze moved a small bench and sat next to Sun Xiu, and the two of them chatted one sentence at a time, and they were very affectionate.

Shi Yan flipped through the vegetable basket, thought for a while, and then began to chop vegetables.Under Sun Xiu's amazed eyes, every dish was ready.Fish-flavored shredded pork, roasted eggplant with beans, fried eggs with chili...the whole kitchen is filled with a spicy smell.

After washing his hands, Shi Yan turned his head to meet Sun Xiu and Xu Ze's shining eyes, and said a little embarrassedly, "I don't know if you can eat spicy food, but when I saw chili, I fried it... "Since it's in the basket, it should be something to eat."

"It's okay, it's okay, my old Tang likes to eat chili the most. The green chili you fry is still not spicy. He can still eat that kind of bright red, Chaotian pepper..." Sun Xiu waved his hand, "I didn't expect Xiao Yan to have it. This kind of craftsmanship. My aunt has been frying for so many years, and she can’t compare to you. I don’t need to pay me for food in the future, as long as I have free time, I can help my aunt cook, how about it?”

"Okay." Shi Yan responded with a smile.

During the meal, Tang Anmin was full of praise after tasting Shi Yan's fried dishes, and even teased Sun Xiu: "Look at him, he's still a child..."

Sun Xiu pinched her thigh severely.

Early the next morning, taking care of Xu Ze got up, had dinner, and gave him the homework, before Shi Yan rode his bicycle to the popsicle wholesale store on the street.

It was very hot, with an outside temperature of 35 degrees.When Shi Yan rode to the store, he was sweating all over, and his clothes were soaked through the back.

The boss had been waiting for him for a long time, and when he came in, he brought him a bowl of cold water that had been placed in the freezer earlier.Shi Yan drank it in one gulp and thanked him.

This time, Shi Yan planned to get more popsicles, so the boss counted them while taking them out.In the end, I took almost 110 sticks, and filled the surrounding area with ice cubes before closing the lid. I helped Shi Yan lift it to the back seat of the bicycle and tied it with a rope.

A total of 35 yuan 5, the boss took a 28% discount, and charged 4 yuan 7, which means that when Shi Yan sells this box of popsicles, he can earn 1 yuan 8 cents.The boss's net profit here is estimated to be about [-] yuan.Although selling to Shi Yan is cheaper than selling to other wholesalers, the boss knows that selling popsicles like this through the streets of Shi Yan will definitely sell faster than guarding a small shop.What they engage in wholesale is that the cost is low and the profit is not high, and they rely on the advantage of quantity to make money.Time delay is selling well, and the wholesale quantity will increase in the future, so he can wait for the money with peace of mind.

Besides, Shi Yan also said that he might want to wholesale notebooks, pens, and snacks in the future, which can be regarded as business, after all, he not only has this popsicle wholesale store, but also has snack wholesale stores and stationery wholesale stores nearby.The better the time delay, the more chances they have to contact each other. In the market, it is venture capital, where benefits and risks coexist.

Putting aside other people's bosses may not be willing to do it.But Shi Yan's calm attitude made the boss very fond of him, so he decided to give it a try.
