Rebirth Delay

"How is it?" The second brother wiped the sweat off his brow, walked over and said to Uncle Gui.

Uncle Gui looked at Shi Yan who was seriously plastering the cement on the workbench, and nodded, "Yes, the little guy is very smart and hardworking. I think Liu San'er likes it too."

"Really?" The second brother was happy, "Then you go talk to Liu San'er and tell him to pay more for the hour. Five yuan a day is too little."

"You bastard!" Uncle Gui glared at the second brother, "You think that other people's money is falling from the sky. This little guy is diligent, but he still needs to work hard to keep up, even if he works hard. , then you have to be able to catch up with others, or can the people under me be convinced?"

"Never mind them!" The second goth snorted lazily, and said lapily, "It's half the price anyway, and if you add another [-] cents, it won't work? It's a big deal for a child to care about such a small amount of money." Gentlemen?"

Uncle Gui glanced sideways at the second brother, paused, turned his face and asked curiously, "I said, why have you changed your sex recently? I remember that Shi Yan has been in Sunjiacun for two years, why didn't you help him before? Now you have sympathy and know that you are willing to help others?"

"How can it be? My little brother has always been a kind and good person, okay?" The little brother laughed, then withdrew his smile, and said sternly, "I just look at the time delay and it seems different. It used to be so much An awkward child, and a bit stubborn, stubborn and unresponsive, and looks at people with the corner of his eyes when he asks too many questions. Now he is a lot smarter, and he looks more humane. When his children and grandchildren built brick-roofed houses before, it was him He offered to come with me, and bought two packs of red plums for the foreman. Tell me, this is something a child does, doesn’t it?”

"Really?" Uncle Gui was a little surprised.

"Yeah. I think he's more knowledgeable about people, and I want to take him around, or maybe he's going through a lot of hardships. He used to take a bath at my old man's place, and I saw that when he took off his clothes, there were willows one by one. The cyan and purple jumps are frightening. Now I am in peace," the younger brother's eyes fell from Shi Yan's face to Xu Ze who was not far away, with some strange light, "Maybe it is the credit of Xiao Ze , what do you say?"

When Shi Yan got off the workbench, Xu Ze ran over from the stone pier in the yard, held the bowl high in his hands, and smiled sweetly, "Brother, drink water."

Uncle Gui's wrinkled eyes showed a faint smile, and he sighed.

Watching Shi Yan squat down in front of Xu Ze, took a sip from the bowl, his face was relaxed and happy, the two of them harmoniously looked like a painting, the second brother looked away, and patted Gui Uncle, said, "What? Remember your little Jiaojiao?"

"Hmm. I don't know what she looks like..." Uncle Gui said with some melancholy.

The second brother didn't know what to say, so he patted him on the shoulder to express his comfort.

Shi Yan was sitting on the stone pier, and Xu Ze was standing between his legs leaning against his side leg, Shi Yan touched Xu Ze's hand, and frowned slightly, "Why is it so cold?"

Feeling the warmth, Xu Ze put two small hands into Shi Yan's palm, Shi Yan was happy, and rubbed Xu Ze's palm cooperatively. "Look, your hands are so much smaller than mine."

Xu Ze pinched Shi Yan's finger bones curiously, and the palms of the two were tightly pressed together. Looking at his own short finger, Xu Ze pouted, as if a little unwilling, and raised his head to ask when Yeon, "Brother, when will my hand be as big as yours?"

Shi Yan tightened his neck tightly to prevent the wind from getting in, "When you are 13 years old, your hands will be as big as your brother's."

"Really? Were our hands the same size back then?" Xu Ze asked in surprise.

Shi Yan rubbed his hair and didn't speak.At that time?At that time, my brother also grew up.When Ozawa was 13 years old, Shi Yan smiled, he was already twenty, right?

It's almost time to call it a day at night, Shi Yan plans.In the past few days, they ate at Liu San'er's house at noon, and Liu San'er saved the leftovers at noon for him and Xiao Ze to take home for dinner.

I got 30 yuan wages at night, and I have 45 yuan in my hand. Tomorrow, I can buy some incomplete asbestos tiles, which may be cheaper, and then go to Lao Deng to buy some wooden boards and build a small shed.Get some mud to build a pot table, put the big pot on top, and boil water for cooking.When it is done, Ozawa will be able to eat hot meals in the future.Oh, by the way, tomorrow I have to go to Guan's grandfather's field to buy some fresh vegetables. If possible, I can cook some salted duck eggs and come back... Shi Yan thought casually.

"Shi Yan, Nuo, your salary." Uncle Gui smiled and counted four ten yuan to Shi Yan.

"This..." Shi Yan was a little surprised.

Uncle Gui just shook his head and smiled, touched Xu Ze's head, and then walked towards other people not far away who were waiting to send money.

"Brother..." Xu Ze raised his head, blinked his big eyes, and asked a little puzzled, "Why did he give us more money?"

Shi Yan touched his fair face, looked at Uncle Gui's back, and said softly, "Brother doesn't know either. Maybe...he thinks Ozawa is too cute? So give brother some more money to buy for Ozawa." delicious?"

When I got home, the moon had already climbed up.Shi Yan took Xu Ze's little hand, Xu Ze yawned all over the place, Shi Yan asked, "Are you sleepy, Ozawa? Can my brother carry you on his back?"

Xu Ze quickly rubbed his eyes, took a quick step, shook his head and said, "Don't be sleepy, go by yourself."

Shi Yan held his hand tightly.Because of the warmth in his hand, he felt that the dark road ahead seemed to be bright.Two people holding hands, like walking on the busiest street, thousands of lights flashing by, leaving each other dependent on each other.

Early the next morning, before Xu Ze woke up, Shi Yan went to the nearby asbestos tile field, bargained with people for a long time, bought some not-so-complete asbestos tiles and dragged them back.

From a distance, Shi Yan saw Xu Ze squatting at the door, watching with his cheeks on his hands.Seeing himself suddenly, Xu Ze's eyes burst out with intense joy, and he rushed over at a trot.Shi Yan couldn't help but stop, and when Xu Ze called his brother and brother to come to him, he smiled and said, "I put steamed buns and pickles on the table, have you eaten?"

"Eat." Xu Ze replied, and wanted to lift the back of the asbestos tile, "Brother, I will help you."

"No," Shi Yan hurriedly stopped, "This thing burns my hands, I just drag it and throw it behind, don't touch it." Taking a few steps, he threw the asbestos tile to the back of the house, and patted the spot on his hand Lan Baihui greeted Xu Ze to enter the house.

After washing his hands, Shi Yan asked Xu Ze, "I'm going to the waste collection station to buy wood boards, does Xiao Ze want to go with me?"

Unsurprisingly, Xu Ze responded enthusiastically, "Go!"

So the two went to Lao Deng's to buy some wooden boards together. Lao Deng also liked Xu Ze, a pretty kid, so he just charged two yuan less when collecting the money, which made Shi Yan a little embarrassed, and also a little have no choice.How is this like playing children's cards.

After transporting all the things back, it took a long time to set up a simple shed.After building the stove and putting the pot on it, Shi Yan straightened his waist, clapped his hands, and looked at the strange pot with satisfaction, then turned his head and said, "Xiao Ze, is brother good?"

"Amazing!" Xu Ze said immediately.

Hearing this unhesitating praise, Shi Yan's complacent face somehow panicked with embarrassment, he laughed dryly, piled up the remaining scraps in a corner of the shed, and Shi Yan took Xu Ze out again. house door.

It didn't take long for the old man to have four sons, and the wife left.When he brought up these children, he would live in a big tile-roofed house and a small hut for cooking.He is honest and doesn't talk much, but he is good at field work.But after all, he was getting old, and the sons in the field would not let him take over, but only sent him food every six months.There is an acre of land in front of the house and behind the house to grow some seasonal vegetables, but it is also leisurely.

When Shi Yan brought Xu Ze over, the old man was leaning back on his chair, listening to the Pingtan on the radio, shaking his head and humming along, half-closed his eyes, and felt at ease.Shi Yan stopped and said loudly, "Grandpa Guan."

The old man over there still had good ears, so he immediately opened his eyes and took a look, and said cheerfully: "Time delay, what's the matter, come to grandpa's house to eat again? All right, the meals are all on the table in the house. Let's go clean it up."

After finishing speaking, he was about to close his eyes and continue to enjoy, but suddenly saw Xu Ze, raised his hand and turned off the radio, looked at Xu Ze with a smile and waved, "Which family is this child, born so well?"

Xu Ze has also gotten used to chatting with everyone these days, so he took the initiative to step forward and called out respectfully, "Hello, Grandpa. I'm my brother's younger brother, and my name is Xiao Ze."

"Brother? Shi Yan's younger brother?" Old Guan asked with a smile.

"En." Xu Ze nodded.

"When was he abducted, Ozawa?"

Three black lines hung from Shi Yan's forehead, and then he said coldly, "Grandpa Guan, we're here to buy vegetables."

"Shut up and go, who talked to you?" Old Man Guan glared at him, then turned to Xu Ze to restore his amiability, "Tell grandpa."

Xu Ze paused for a moment, then suddenly grinned in full bloom, his eyes curved like crescent moons, "Grandpa, I have always been my brother's brother."

The old man was taken aback for a moment, then nodded with a smile, got up and went into the house.Shi Yan pulled Xu Ze to follow, and the old man bent down in front of the cabinet, took out an apple from inside, and handed it to Xu Ze, motioning for him to take it.

Xu Ze shook his head and refused to take it, and took a step back.

Shi Yan said: "Grandpa Guan, it seems that the second brother is filial to you and bought it for you to grind your teeth. You can keep it for yourself and don't give it to us."

The old man Guan snorted and said: "Look, I still have a few teeth left in my mouth, how can I eat apples? The second boy is ignorant and buys things I can't eat. I'll give it to Xiao Ze, you Still booing blindly."

After finishing speaking, he took Xu Ze's hand and stuffed the apples into his arms, then turned to Shi Yan and said, "Get some water from the foreign well at the door, and wash the apples for Xiao Ze. You are not allowed to eat them secretly, do you hear me?" "

Shi Yan agreed, and took Xu Ze out to wash the apples.Seeing Xu Ze carefully gnaw the apple in his arms, the old man Guan was very happy, and he said patiently: "Just pull out the vegetables you want to eat, what do you want to buy when you come to me?"

Shi Yan didn't dare to say anything more. He took the basket and went to the vegetable field to pull out some vegetables. He ran into the house and put the money he was holding in his hand into the enamel jar before he came out. He looked at the old man Guan with a smile and said, " Grandpa, let's go then."

"Wait." The old man Guan said suddenly.

When Shi Yan turned his head, the old man's face was a bit serious, "Shi Yan, tell me the truth, where did Ozawa come from?"

There was a pause, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Grandpa Guan, I only know that Ozawa will be my younger brother in the future."

Leng took a breath, and the old man's face changed in horror, "Are you half a child planning to take care of him?"

Delay silent by default.He didn't find it surprising that he was already making money now.After this time passes, he can drink milk for Ozawa, put on new clothes, and carry a schoolbag to school... like all children with parents.
