Reborn as a man

Chapter 14

"Xiao Yun, it's time to eat." Cui Wenhui knocked on Xiao Yun's door and urged.

"Here we come." Xiao Yun agreed, packed up the sketches on his desk, and walked quickly to the living room.

Just now Xiao Yun felt that listening to the two adults talking about innocuous topics was very boring, so he returned to his room with the excuse of reading a book.In fact, Xiao Yun had finished reading all the books at home. Xiao Yun returned to the room mainly because he wanted to be quiet and quiet, and secondly because he wanted to paint for a while.Neither Xiao Yun nor Xiao Xiaolu has systematically studied painting, but Xiao Yun is very talented in painting, but the creations he usually creates with his hands are more innovative than those made by others who have been thinking hard for a long time.Xiao Yun himself was not willing to enroll in a painting class. First, he felt that his family's financial conditions did not allow it. Second, he thought that many painting classes were deceitful and could not teach much.Moreover, Xiao Yun only painted for his own entertainment, and never thought about becoming a painter.

When he came to the living room, Xiao Yun saw a round table for entertaining guests in the middle of the living room, with four dishes and one soup on it.After choosing a seat at random, Xiao Yun quietly waited for the meal to start.

After a while, Cui Wenhui put the last plate of cold dishes and a plate of staple food on the round table, Xiao Dacheng greeted Xiao Lian to eat, Xiao Lian also politely reminded Xiao Yun to eat more, Xiao Yun vaguely agreed.

After everyone had eaten and drank enough, Cui Wenhui began to clear the table, Xiao Dacheng and Xiao Lian sat on the old sofa beside them and started chatting, while Xiao Yun sat on the pony tie and watched TV.

"Brother, when are you going to visit Mom?" After chatting for a while, Xiao Lian finally got to the point.

Xiao Dacheng was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and then slowly put the cigarette in his hand into his mouth, without answering.

"Brother!" Seemingly annoyed by Xiao Dacheng's attitude, Xiao Lian couldn't help raising his voice.

Xiao Yun also pricked up his ears, obviously wanting to know more about the Xiao family.After all, Xiao Xiaolu's Xiao family at that time was probably different from Xiao Yun's current Xiao family.

"Ah!" Xiao Dacheng sighed heavily, frowning tightly.

"I know you have always had a knot in your heart, but she is your mother after all. Although it was indeed her fault, what kind of enmity can there be between mother and child?" Xiao Lian asked sincerely. With Xiao Dacheng.

Looks like it still happened.Xiao Yun's face changed with sullenness, but he quickly adjusted his emotions and recovered his calm expression.At that time, Xiao Dacheng and Cui Wenhui had just married and had no children, so they rented a house to make do.At that time, some parts of the old house Xu Xiuqin lived in were broken and needed to be repaired, so Xu Xiuqin thought of Xiao Dacheng.Xu Xiuqin asked Xiao Dacheng to help repair the house and build a new house in the south by the way.After hearing Xu Xiuqin's words, Xiao Dacheng thought that his mother wanted to leave the new house to his son who had no fixed house, so he agreed happily.Afterwards, Xiao Dacheng was looking for a construction team, helping to buy building materials, and sometimes went to battle in person, so he was very busy.Once, Xiao Dacheng accidentally fell off the wall while helping to build a new house and injured his leg.Xu Xiuqin just asked a few words and didn't care anymore.Although Xiao Dacheng was depressed, he couldn't say anything.Fortunately, the house was almost built, so Xiao Dacheng persisted for a few days with his injured leg.After the house was built, he could not live in it directly, and needed to air it out, so Xiao Dacheng went back to the house he rented to recuperate from his illness.In the first few days, Xiao Dacheng was in a good mood, waiting for Xu Xiuqin to send someone to tell him to live in a new house.But more than a month passed, and Xiao Dacheng couldn't hold his breath anymore.He asked someone to inquire, okay, Xiao Wang actually lived in that house.Normally speaking, Xiao Dacheng wouldn't say anything, but this time he hurt his leg because of this house, Xu Xiuqin didn't ask much questions, and even gave the house to someone else, which made Xiao Dacheng unbearable.Coupled with Cui Wenhui's nagging from time to time, Xiao Dacheng never went to see Xu Xiuqin again.

In the end, Xiao Dacheng decided to go back to Xu Xiuqin's house. After all, the love between mother and child cannot be parted. If Xu Xiuqin can soften a little and show some concern, Xiao Dacheng will still forgive Xu Xiuqin.Regarding this, Cui Wenhui didn't say anything, but after sending Xiao Lian away, his expression became gloomy.Xiao Dacheng didn't care about Cui Wenhui anymore, he was also worried now.Seeing this, Xiao Yun wisely chose to return to his hut, and stopped wandering in front of these two hidden explosives.

……

In the early morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year, Xiao Dacheng went to Xu Xiuqin's house alone with carefully prepared gifts.But just after noon, Xiao Dacheng came back.As soon as Xiao Dacheng came back, he sat down on the sofa, didn't say anything, just smoked silently.Looking at Xiao Dacheng's gloomy face, Xiao Yun knew that this meeting was very unpleasant, and he might not even keep Xiao Dacheng for a meal.

……

Compared with going to school, Xiao Xiaolu prefers vacations, while Xiao Yun feels that there is not much difference between school and vacations.

Time passed quickly, and school started again in a blink of an eye.Xiao Yun was the first student in the class again.Using the key to open the door, Xiao Yun walked leisurely into the classroom.Put the holiday homework on the table, then squint on the table and take a nap.

After a while, He Xu also arrived at the school.When He Xu saw that the door of the first grade classroom was open, he knew that Xiao Yun had arrived.He hurriedly put the bag in the class, and seeing that there was no one else in Xiao Yun's class, he excitedly ran to Xiao Yun to say hello.Although He Xu could play with Xiao Yun during the holidays, Xiao Yun always looked lazy, which made He Xu a little embarrassed.Now that school has started, He Xu is extremely happy knowing that he can play with Xiao Yun every day again.

"Xiao Yun, you came so early!" He Xu sat down in front of Xiao Yun, very happy.

"Yeah. I came here for a while earlier today." Xiao Yun rubbed his eyes and stretched himself.

"Hey." He Xu felt very happy sitting with Xiao Yun just like this.

……

Distribute textbooks, hand in homework, and clean up.Song Ping left after making some simple arrangements, claiming that she was creating opportunities for Xiao Yun to exercise.Xiao Yun shrugged, but he didn't mind, and leisurely copied the timetable on the blackboard.All the little bean dings expressed their admiration.

We also want to write such beautiful words.The eyes of the children are shining.

……

During the subsequent study time, Xiao Yun still lived at ease.In class, listen to the interesting ones carefully, and read the borrowed extracurricular books by yourself if you are not interested.In his spare time, he was not playing with He Xu and Wu Yan, talking on the phone with Meng Wenbin, making up lessons for Wang Chao, practicing martial arts, and watching TV to pass the time.

……

That night, Xiao Yun was sitting on the sofa watching the news, glancing at the wall clock on the wall from time to time, wondering why his father hadn't come home yet.Thinking this way in his heart, Xiao Yun suddenly heard his father's voice.

"I'm back." Xiao Dacheng's voice was hoarse.

"Why did you come back so late? Look at the smell of alcohol in your body, where did you go to drink? I don't know if we are still waiting for you to eat?" Cui Wenhui was a little angry, and his mouth became unforgiving people get up.

"Let's eat first." Very rarely, Xiao Dacheng did not quarrel with Cui Wenhui, but calmly said in a commanding tone.

Seeing this, Cui Wenhui pouted and said nothing.Xiao Yun frowned, feeling a bad premonition.

This meal was very dull for the Xiao family's two big ones and one snack.After the meal, Cui Wenhui also calmed down, thinking that Xiao Dacheng might have something important to say, so she hurried to wash the dishes.Xiao Yun was driven back to his small room by Xiao Dacheng and ordered to study hard.

Looking at his father who suddenly became strict, Xiao Yun didn't have any rebellious thoughts. Although he was curious about what happened, he still obediently went back to his hut.However, letting me go back to my room did not prevent me from eavesdropping.Xiao Yun smirked.

In the living room, the Xiao family couple were talking.

"What? You are going to retire!" Cui Wenhui exclaimed in disbelief, and at the same time Xiao Yun was shocked.

"Keep down." Xiao Dacheng narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice. "My situation in the supply and marketing cooperative is getting worse and worse. I think together with Lao Sunyi that it is better to apply for a sick retreat now. I can receive a pension, take care of my children, and find a job after a while. Do it."

It turned out that Xiao Dacheng did not do well in the supply and marketing cooperative.At first, Xiao Dacheng was young and energetic, relying on his good brains, no one could compare his memory, so he didn't learn any new skills.Later, Xiao Dacheng got older and his temper was not very good, so he was transferred to the clothing department, and then to the non-staple food department.Seeing that the salary he can get is getting less and less, Xiao Dacheng is also very anxious. If this is the case, he will go to the gate one day! ?Later, Xiao Dacheng and his old grandson who had a good relationship with him (the legendary "Uncle Sun" who introduced Xiao Dacheng to the martial arts team) decided to retire from illness, so that he could receive a pension and receive medical treatment from the unit. Insurance, medical expenses can be reimbursed, and you can find a job in your spare time. Why not do it?

Alas, Dad is still retired.Xiao Yun felt a little complicated.Xiao Dacheng also retired early in his last life, but that was because Xiao Dacheng was really in poor health.And in this life, under the subtle influence of Xiao Yun, Xiao Dacheng will also exercise his body from time to time. Compared with the previous life, Xiao Yun feels that Xiao Dacheng's body is not a bit stronger now.But unexpectedly, Xiao Dacheng finally went through the formalities of returning from illness.Maybe some things can't be changed.Xiao Yun sighed.In fact, Xiao Yun also hoped that Xiao Dacheng would retire from the bottom of his heart, so that not only Xiao Dacheng could have a good rest, but also make Xiao Yun feel that some things have not changed and everything is under his control.For Xiao Yun, who was used to Xiao Xiaolu's fate, the changed unknown fate was terrifying.

……

He Xu found that Xiao Yun was not quite right today.Usually Xiao Yun would bring a book to read when he came to the playground, but today Xiao Yun didn't bring a book, and was sitting on the parallel bars in a daze.Could it be that the sun came out from the west today?He Xu was puzzled.

Although after experiencing Xiao Xiaolu's life, Xiao Yun was prepared for Xiao Dacheng's retirement now, but Xiao Yun still felt bored and felt bad.

It was not easy for my father in the previous life.Xiao Yun propped his hands back on the parallel bars behind him, raised his head, and squinted at the blue-gray sky.At that time, my father retired, and my mother had to take me to and from school, and there was no job. The family of three lived on my father's pension, and their lives were tight.But even then, my parents didn’t let me feel wronged. Every day, I have an egg, a glass of milk, and fruit. When I celebrate my birthday, there will be a lot of meat and vegetables, but my parents just eat a few mouthfuls. Let yourself eat the rest.When Dad didn't retire, there would always be colleagues at home, and relatives from Xiao's family would occasionally come to visit, but once Dad retired, he would immediately be deserted, what a bunch of villains!Thinking of this, Xiao Yun stood up abruptly, and slapped the parallel bars with his right hand heavily.

This stunned He Xu.He Xu had never seen Xiao Yun get so angry, he hurriedly asked, "Xiao Yun, are you alright?"

"...It's okay." Xiao Yun stroked his hands with a serious face, as if his hands had been covered with dust just now.

fine?So why do you give a suspicious pause?He Xu was angry and funny. He didn't know why Xiao Yun, who was usually like a grown-up, wanted to show his temper.However, Xiaoyun is really cute when he is angry.He Xu grinned as he looked at Xiao Yun's immature but serious bun face.

Noticing the strange appearance of He Xu beside him, Xiao Yun widened his eyes angrily.He Xu quickly smirked, trying to calm Xiao Yun down.

"Okay, okay, stop smirking, I'm not really angry." Xiao Yun was not in the mood to continue arguing with He Xu, so he had to stop.

"Xiaoyun, you can tell me if you are unhappy, or I will be sad if you don't look at you." He Xu put away his laughing expression and said to Xiao Yun very solemnly.

Seeing the worry in He Xu's eyes, Xiao Yun suddenly felt warm in his heart.Xiao Yun squeezed out a smile, quickly messed up He Xu's untidy hair with his hands, and muttered: "What do you think you are a child pretending to be an adult, ah?"

Obviously you are always pretending to be an adult, okay!The little classmate He Xu, who was carrying a chicken coop on his head, was indignant. He grabbed the scratching claws on his head and said loudly: "I am two years older than you, and the child is also younger than you! I am serious! !"

Are you seriously worried about me?A smile flashed across Xiao Yun's eyes, and his expression softened a lot.Speaking of which, although He Xu was one grade older than him, he was two years older than him, and he wouldn't say anything when asked what was going on. Could it be that he was too stupid to pass the exam?Thinking of this, Xiao Yun couldn't stop snickering.

"Xiaoyun, what are you thinking again!" Seeing that Xiao Yun was distracted again, little classmate He Xu was very powerless.

"My father has retired." Xiao Yun said lightly, not intending to tease He Xu anymore, after all He Xu was worried about himself.

"...Ah?" He Xu was a little overwhelmed, he didn't think that Xiao Yun was worrying about such a thing, and he didn't think that such a thing happened to Xiao Yun's family.He Xu didn't know how to comfort his friend.Will Xiaoyun's family be hungry in the future and have to pick up garbage to make ends meet?Thinking about it, He Xu's face turned dark.

"Don't worry, the situation is not as bad as you imagined." Sensing that He Xu was thinking wildly again, Xiao Yun said hastily.Yeah, the situation is not that serious.My father is not really sick, so he doesn't need to spend medical expenses; although my mother's salary is not high, it can be regarded as stable.Moreover, Dad also hopes to find something to do, so that the family's financial conditions will not be bad, at least not worse than Xiao Xiaolu's life.

"Really?" He Xu was still a little worried, afraid that Xiao Yun would hide something from him.

"It's true." Xiao Yun replied in a firm tone, and gave He Xu a big smile by the way, which dazzled He Xu.

Seeing He Xu's stunned face, Xiao Yun squinted his eyes, quickly stretched He Xu's bun face, then jumped off the parallel bars neatly, and ran to the classroom.Xiao Yun waved to He Xu while running: "Idiot, it's time to ring the preparatory bell!"

It took a while for He Xu to react, and immediately jumped off the parallel bars, chasing forward with all his strength.

"You, you, are too bad, don't run away if you have the ability! I'm really stupid to worry about you!" Although He Xu said fiercely, no one could ignore the smile on his face.
