Reborn with you

April 4th——Japan invaded and occupied the Ryukyu Islands, the Chinese territory, renamed it Okinawa, and forced the last Ryukyu king, Shangtai, to be exiled to Tokyo.

Shan Qiang carefully looked at the plants in front of her, carefully pinched a leaf, looked at it over and over again, and then lowered her head from time to time to write and draw on the booklet in her hand. The booklet was full of calligraphy and painting. Start doing something like this.This is the homework that Ye Shilan has arranged since he came the next day. In addition to the still flowers and trees, he has to observe the swimming fish, the jumping chicken, and even the snoring of the dog.

Shan Qiang did it meticulously. Sometimes he felt that, watching these things quietly in the sun, the occasional impetuousness in his heart would be slowly soothed by such calmness. Seeing the puppy turning over lazily in the sun, he She can also laugh out loud, even if it's goldfish swimming in the same way, Shan Qiang can watch it with fascination, and she just feels that there is something wonderful about it.In my previous life, the first half of my life was unsatisfactory. How could I have the mood and time to look at these things? Later, although I became fascinated by calligraphy and painting, I used all my time to practice or appreciate the works of masters.So often getting along with the world alone now makes Shan Qiang's heart a lot closer to the world, at least Shan Qiang's current state of mind is joyful and peaceful.Ye Shilan wanted him to do this to let him develop the habit of carefully observing the characteristics of things. Who would have thought that this young man is not as active as they are at their age, and honestly looks at the things he specified for two hours a day, sometimes even more than The scheduled time, but Shan Qiang's condition is unexpectedly getting better and better, Ye Shilan is of course happy to see the result.

Learning history and culture, practicing brush and ink calligraphy, smelling fragrance and drinking tea, exercising, and occasionally messing around with Yi Shui.This is what Shan Qiang does every day, and her days are full and busy.In the past six months, Shan Qiang has gotten used to this kind of life, and his heart is peaceful and happy. Apart from being unable to let go of his mother and that person, he even thanked the heaven who sent him to this world.

In fact, Shan Qiang hadn't thought about that person for a while, and the daily affairs occupied him too much energy, so busy that he didn't even have time to look at the wooden sculpture he brought over, so that the person's face was already a bit blurry. blurred.Shan Qiang suddenly thought of him today because Yi Shui wanted to learn how to carve with him recently, and he thought of the wood carving he had placed there for a long time, and he felt guilty, although it was only his own unilateral thoughts.The corner of Shan Qiang's mouth curled into a slightly bitter smile.Sighing lightly, Shan Qiang continued to observe the plants in front of her. This wintersweet is a famous potted species that Master cherishes very much. When Master gave it to her, she had told her left and right, so she should be more careful.

"Junior Brother, Junior Brother, are you here?"

Before anyone entered the yard, the young man's crisp voice came inside, Shan Qiang couldn't help laughing, squeezed the pen and paper in his hand, stood up slowly, and looked towards the gate of the yard.Even in the Land of Abundance, it is inevitable to show a bleak scene in the winter. Those leaves are yellow on the outside, only a little green around the middle leaf stem, scattered on the branches and branches, and the north wind blows. Ken fell, and this scene made the winter more obvious.Therefore, the touch of festive red is particularly prominent in such a bleak environment.

Chen Yishui, who was wearing a red padded jacket, ran in excitedly, and the braids on the back of his head followed him.His face was flushed from running, and his dark and round eyes were very agile.Shan Qiang smiled and watched this cute boy running towards her. This little brother has always been lively, which added a lot of vitality and smiles to his life here.He used to yearn for a playmate so much, but now that there is such a good person, he no longer has that mentality.

Yi Shui stopped in front of Shan Qiang, her rosy lips parted and she laughed.Shan Qiang pursed her lips, waiting for the boy to speak.

"My family has come to pick me up, and I can go home for the New Year. Junior brother, you don't have anything you want." Chen Yishui patted his chest, which was still heaving, "I will try to bring you what I have at home." After speaking, he opened his eyes wide Looking at Shan Qiang, I hope he can ask me to bring something.In the past six months, Chen Yishui has been very satisfied with this junior brother. There is only one thing wrong. As a senior brother, I have never felt the feeling of being a senior brother (because Shan Qiang is often taking care of him), and I don’t know what is wrong, but look. Senior brother, look at himself again, Chen Yishui thinks he can help his senior with some things to reflect his senior brother's authority.

Shan Qiang shook her head with a smile, stretched out her free right hand, and straightened Chen Yishui's messy clothes. He liked this young man in his heart, and often took care of him involuntarily.Seeing Shan Qiang shaking his head, Chen Yishui felt a little angry, but he quickly recovered and looked at Shan Qiang with his dark eyes, "Junior brother, when are you going home?"

Shan Qiang put down her right hand, "Tomorrow morning."

Chen Yishui asked again with some eagerness: "Then when will you come back?" If he came back early, he wouldn't be bored if his junior brother wasn't there.

Shan Qiang thought a few days ago when she heard someone from Wangjia Town who stopped by and brought a message saying that the single mother was pregnant, and she felt warm in her heart. For the couple who were sincerely planning to be proud of themselves, although Shan Qiang did not have heartfelt affection, Shan Qiang is very happy to hear that he will have a younger brother or younger sister. In this way, single parents and single mothers can also have a child by their side, and I will also have a lovely younger brother and sister.

The expression on Shan Qiang's face became softer, and she replied with a smile: "It will probably be after the Lantern Festival."

Chen Yishui stared blankly at Shan Qiang's soft smile. Since Shan Qiang spent most of his time in the house in the past six months, his tanned face in summer returned to fairness, and this smile was even more lovable.Chen Yishui suddenly panicked, what if his junior brother is so good and gets better with others?This trip will take more than a month.

Chen Yishui suddenly pulled Shan Qiang's empty right hand, Shan Qiang was taken aback, and then heard Chen Yishui say: "Junior brother, don't forget me when you go back, I will always be your senior brother, do you understand?" Chen Yishui felt complacent again. No one else had the same level of relationship as him and his younger brother. The younger brother was still the best with him, eh.

Shan Qiang was amused by Chen Yishui's juvenile and childish words. She felt that Chen Yishui was holding her hand warm and dry. It was still soft when she was a child, which made Shan Qiang's heart soften. She responded with a smile: " Alright, Yishui."

Chen Yishui pursed his mouth when he heard the words, "Brother, I want to call you brother."

Shan Qiang pretended not to hear, turned around and continued to observe the plum blossom. No matter in the past or present, he couldn't bear to call a ten-year-old kid senior brother. did not hear.Shan Qiang continued to squat while deceiving herself.

After Chen Yishui was taken away happily, Shan Qiang followed Shan's father back to Wangjia Town with a smile on the second day. Say hello, no matter what bad things happen this year, you have to have a good year, right?

Because Shan's family is engaged in carpentry, most people in the town know them. Along the way, they can only hear the voices of people greeting them. "Hey, Qiangwazi is back, the longer he is, the more handsome he is." "Isn't this Qiangwazi's, come back with your old man to celebrate the New Year?" "Carpenter Shan, you bring your Qiangwazi back to the New Year's house?"... ...Shan Qiang felt very cordial in the face of these enthusiastic people, and he loved the vigorous vitality here.He also answered the greetings from his hometown one by one with a smile on his face.

The single mother had been waiting at the door for a long time, and when she saw the Shan family's father and son, a smile bloomed on her face spontaneously.The five-month-old body was already a little heavy, but the single mother insisted on standing at the door, waiting for his beloved child to come back.When Shan Qiang saw the bloated woman standing at the door, she quickly walked forward, carefully supported Shan Mu, and said with a slight complaint: "Mother, why don't you wait at the front of the room?" Qiang's brows and eyes are soft.

The single mother took Shan Qiang's arm and said with a smile: "Why is that so exaggerated, mother wants to wait for you here for nothing."

Shan Qiang glanced at Shan's mother's already showing waist, and said with a smirk, "I don't have anything to do, I'm just afraid that my younger siblings will not be at ease."

The peasant girl was still shy, and when she was teased by her own child, the single mother blushed, and said: "Little baby, you know what it is."

The honest man behind them also grinned.

The family talked and entered the house burning with charcoal fire.

Every time Shan Qiang comes back, she will help the family with things, help her mother or do some small carpentry, but the calligraphy and paintings are not for sale.Now that the single mother's body is heavy, Shan Qiang will automatically take over some work, so as to make her mother easier.Although the family is better off now, they can't afford servants.

The boys and girls around the same age heard that Shan Qiang was back, and asked him to go out to play, and Shan Qiang would occasionally go out to play under the urging of Shan Qiang.These teenagers are full of energy, which reminds Shan Qiang of my little senior brother. I don’t know how his life has been this year. A family with such a good family education should be good; some of those girls are similar to Shan Qiang’s age. I already know some things, seeing that Shan Qiang is different from the white and elegant boys around me, I have different thoughts in my heart, occasionally when Shan Qiang talks to them, the introverted one can blushed with a smile, and the bold one will reveal it directly Come up with some ideas like this.

Seeing this, the teenagers felt sour, and Shan Qiang understood after seeing this.Shan Qiang had never been in a relationship in his previous life, but it didn't mean he didn't understand the meaning of it. Later, those teenagers invited him again, and he found an excuse to decline it with a smile.This is a pure and straightforward age, those teenagers are embarrassed to see him so sensible, originally, they asked him to go out to play, can't blame Qiangwa, can't they?Finally dragged him out to play.

Soon it was the Lantern Festival, Shan Qiang made some lanterns like last year, and sold them at the lantern market with Shan's father.The study of the past six months is not useless to Shan Qiang, the things on those lanterns are more flexible and vivid than before, jumping off the paper.In addition, there is a fair little brother like Shan Qiang in the lamp market this time, and there are many more people selling lamps, many of them are young girls. He hurriedly escaped from his father's mocking eyes.

Chen Yishui was naturally happy when he returned home. There were many brothers and sisters at home who accompanied him to make trouble together. Although he still had to practice every day, it was much more relaxed than at the master's place. Chen Yishui was like a wild horse that had run loose. She survived under Chen's father's black face.In this peace, Chen Yishui thought of his junior brother who had been left behind by him for a few days. Inexplicably, Chen Yishui thought, it would be great if his junior brother was here.
