miss [rebirth]

Chen Nian squatted in the small vegetable garden with Fang Zhizhu for a long time until Fang Zhizhu's tears stopped.

Fang Zhizhu turned his head to look at her and asked her, "Why are you crying?"

Chen Nian pointed to the ground: "That's my flower, whoever will cry if I don't cry."

Fang Zhizhu: "You gave it to me."

Chen Nian: "Then I feel sorry for the money."

Fang Zhizhu laughed with a "puchi".

She stood up and walked out: "Your money is not yours either."

Chen Nian followed her behind: "It's mine, it's in my piggy bank."

Fang Zhizhu: "It was also given by your parents."

Chen Nian: "And my grandparents, uncles, aunts..."

Fang Zhizhu: "So it's not yours."

Chen Nian put his hands behind his back and coughed twice: "Okay, that's because I love you."

Fang Zhizhu stopped talking.

Xiao Gangjing fell silent, Chen Nian sneaked a sideways glance at her, and only then frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

The two returned to the dormitory, Chen Nian gave Fang Zhizhu chocolate to eat, Fang Zhizhu took out a white and fat snowflake cream from the drawer, and handed it to her.

"What?" Chen Nian was taken aback.

"Wiping face," Fang Zhizhu raised his eyebrows, looking like a young lady, "Haven't you seen it?"

Chen Nian has never seen it before. During the years when Chen Nian and Fang Zhi have been friends, he has never seen any big-name cosmetics and skin care products.Chen Nian just didn't expect that Fang Zhizhu would take the initiative to give her this thing.

Chen Nian raised the corners of his lips and smiled, but he still had to be reserved: "What are you doing?"

"Crying for so long, your face will get chapped." Fang Zhizhu unscrewed the lid, "Just wipe it off."

Chen Nian: "Then you cry harder than me, you have to wipe it off too."

"Cut." Fang Zhizhu reached in and wiped a piece, which melted in the palm of his hand, and wiped his face skillfully.

Like a kitten.

Chen Nian stared blankly, knowing that after wiping his gaze on her, he melted a little more reluctantly, and then put his hands on Chen Nian's face.

Chen Nian: "!!!!"

Xue Huashuang was cool, and Fang Zhizhu's palms were warm. Chen Nian was sitting, Fang Zhizhu was standing, looking down at her, she really felt like a beautiful sister.

Chen Nian puffed up his cheeks: "Thank you."

Fang Zhizhuo said mercilessly: "Idiot, you have to do your own thing."

Chen Nian laughed cheerfully.

Until now, she felt a new

Yes, the little Fang Zhizhu came out from the thick haze and gradually became clear.

It turned out that Fang Zhizhu was like this when he was a child, and it turned out that Fang Zhizhu was like this in the first place.

Some stubborn, some poison tongue, too sensitive, too smart.

Her gentleness is wrapped in a shell that looks hard but actually shatters when touched. She will bury a bouquet of flowers and care about Chen Nian's fleshy cheeks.

Chen Nian raised the corners of his lips, and his eyes turned into crescent moons.

Fang Zhizhu looked at her and asked her, "What are you laughing at?"

Chen Nian felt that there was no need to explain so much. The children's voices were not so rich, but the flowing emotions could be felt.

So she answered her: "Happy."

Fang Zhishu said: "You are a fool, you were crying just now."

Chen Nian was very bold this time: "Then you are also a fool, you laughed too."

Yes, Fang Zhi smiled.

Even though she was suppressing her own smile, the smile just ran out from the corners of her eyes and brows, and after a while, a dimple was full, and it couldn't hold it any longer, and suddenly overflowed.

"You're the fool." Fang Zhizhu giggled.

"We are all fools." Chen Nian laughed hahaha.

The two had a good time, and when they went out to have dinner, they were watched by the children in the corridor with amazed eyes.

In the following time, Fang Zhizhu didn't cry anymore, Chen Nian made her laugh with those old jokes, Fang Zhizhu laughed.

Coming out of the orphanage that day, Chen Nian felt his feet stepping on the void, like falling into a cloud.

She returned home in a daze, put down her schoolbag, took off her coat and changed into slippers in a daze, then sat next to her father who was watching TV.

"Dad, guess what happened today." Chen Nian said.

Chen Junjie turned his head to look at his little girl, put his big hand on her head and rubbed it vigorously: "Father can't guess."

"Let me tell you..." Chen Nian began to ramble on about what happened in the orphanage.

She talks about these things with her parents every day, when watching TV, when having dinner, and when helping with homework.

She wants Fang Zhizhu to appear not only in her life, but also in the lives of her parents, just like the beautiful and miserable protagonist in a TV series, whose every move will touch the hearts of the audience.

Only in this way, will she be able to win the battle and make them really become a family that cherishes each other.

Speaking of Fang Zhi's burial flowers

, the mother who was making kimchi in the kitchen poked her head out.

She was still holding a Chinese cabbage in her hand, but the movement of her hand had stopped.When Chen Nian talked about Fang Zhizhu's questioning of death, the circles of his eyes involuntarily turned red again.

"Fang Zhi is not crying, she must be crying secretly by herself many times, she misses her parents..." Chen Nian sniffed, looked at his father, then at his mother, "Dad Mom, can you tell me why people die and where they go after death?"

Chen Junjie let out a long sigh, and began to explain his daughter's life: "Dad thought about it too. Your grandma passed away early, and I became a child without a mother. I missed my mother every night... Later, my mother came to my dream. It's..."

He said some truths and some lies, because he couldn't bear to make death too painful, just like in countless literary works, he always wanted to make up a beautiful world.

Let those who are gone exist.

Liu Chunhua leaned against the door frame, watching the big and small ones cry for a while and laugh for a while.It wasn't until the two of them finished discussing this issue that they turned and returned to the kitchen.

The next day was the weekend, but Chen Nian got up early in the morning and was not planning to go to the orphanage. He and his father were chatting at the dinner table. Liu Chunhua listened and said, "Nursery? I want to go too."

Chen Junjie asked her: "Isn't someone coming to make clothes today?"

"It's three o'clock in the afternoon. According to her previous time, she can't come until five o'clock." Liu Chunhua took a bite of pickled vegetables, crunchy, "Why, you two can play, so I can't take a rest?"

"Take a rest." Chen Junjie hurriedly said, "Of course it's better to go with the whole family."

He winked at Chen Nian: "That's right...Nian Nian has something to do with her..."

Liu Chunhua looked at Chen Nian: "What's the matter?"

Chen Nian lied and didn't need to write a draft: "Our teacher asked us to observe the process of plant growth."

Liu Chunhua got up: "Why is there such an assignment? I'll ask Mr. Wen."

Chen Nian: "Ah, that, I remember wrongly, our teacher didn't mention it, but our teacher mentioned it in class, I want to find out for myself."

Liu Chunhua sat back, stopped eating, knocked her chopsticks at night, crossed her arms and asked, "Do you want me to interrogate you?"

Chen Nian is still young, and he used to be a little kid with no extra thoughts.

Chunhua usually talks to her husband.

Chen Junjie felt nervous when he heard this. Her wife is smart, and she can't hide the big and small things in the family. Therefore, many years of experience made him make a decisive and wise choice: "Account for yourself."

Chen Nian: "Dad..."

Chen Junjie: "I'm sorry, Dad can only betray you."

Liu Chunhua frowned, and her expression became more and more serious. Chen Junjie cleared his throat: "The thing is like this, but it's actually very simple. Didn't Niannian talk about Zhizhi crying for flowers yesterday? You said how pitiful this child is. A bit of Lin Daiyu's temperament, Daiyu also lost her family early on, you know I like Dream of the Red Chamber..."

Chen Nian interrupted her father's chatter: "Since the flowers I bought will wither sooner or later, I want to find good saplings to grow and plant them directly in the garden of the orphanage, and tell Fang Zhi that everything has life and death. What is important is the process of growth and companionship.”

Chen Junjie: "..."

Liu Chunhua: "..."

The eyes of Chen Junjie and Liu Chunhua exchanged several times: "..."

Chen Nian reacted, and immediately raised a sweet smile: "Ah, this is all written in a book, it's so good to read."

Chen Junjie: "Reading is good, reading is good..."

Liu Chunhua's eyes drooped, and she continued to eat: "Chen Junjie, reflect on yourself, did you put so much effort in chasing me back then?"

The speaker had no intention of the listener, and Chen Nian's heart beat wildly in fright.

After eating, the three of them set off and took a car to the nursery on the outskirts of the city.

The nursery covers a large area. Although it is winter, there are still many lush trees and flowers blooming in the greenhouse.

Chen Junjie took this trip as a weekend family outing, and took his wife around. Chen Nian had a clear goal. As soon as he entered the nursery, he approached the busy staff and asked him, which flower is the best to grow, which flower will not die from freezing, and which flower? Flowers will sprout in spring...

The little girl is lively and cute, and she talks like a little adult.The uncle of the nursery looked amusing, and chatted with her a lot along the way.

Chen Nian nodded frequently, and the uncle suddenly asked her with the big pruning scissors: "Where are you planting? In the pot or in the ground?"

Chen Niandao: "In the yard, the land."

The uncle raised his hand suddenly, and cut off a large part of the branch in front of him.

Chen Nian was startled by the waving scissors, and hid back.

The uncle squatted down and picked among the cut branches, Kaka

Click again a few times, and some small branches come out.

He held a branch: "Baby, look."

Chen Nian hurried up.

The uncle said it very simply: "We leave three stubbles for each root, and use scissors to cut the corner of the bottom stubble like this. Oh, this side, make sure it is the side without stubbles, and then insert it like this Into the soil... that's all."

The method of cutting is good, and it saves money. Chen Nian applauds the uncle in his heart and remembers the essentials.

But I still asked worriedly: "Is it really possible to grow new flowers like this?"

The uncle laughed out the confidence of an adult: "As long as you water it frequently, it's fine. The strips I cut for you are the best cold-resistant and disease-resistant rose varieties in our garden."

"Yeah!!!" Chen Nian praised sincerely, "You are amazing! Thank you so much!!!"

The uncle was already pruning, but the little girl praised him for being in a good mood, so he simply cut a few more and put them all in Chen Nian's schoolbag.

"All these are for you." The uncle said straightforwardly, "No money."

Chen Nian: "Oh! Great!"

Chen Nian: "Ah..." There was expectation and worry in his eyes.

"I'll give you a bottle!" The uncle wanted to pat her on the shoulder, looked at his dirt-stained hand, and took it back, "You are as old as my granddaughter, and she will be on winter vacation soon."

Chen Nian was very moved by retaining a bit of strength in his small treasury.Seeing that the uncle had already stood up, he simply leaned over by himself, and jumped in front of the person.

His shoulder hit the uncle's hand, and the uncle looked surprised.

Chen Nian happily said to him: "Thank you, I got it!"

A pot of orchids with strong leaves, Chen Junjie hurriedly sent back: "No, no, I can't take..."

"It's not for you." The uncle pointed at Chen Nian, "It's for my little friend."

Chen Junjie: "..."

Chen Nian blinked, finally bowed and thanked, and skipped forward.

Chen Junjie holding flowers: "Ah, our girls are really getting better and better, and we can make good friends wherever we go."

Liu Chunhua frowned: "Too smart."

Chen Junjie: "Hey, you said again, the child, he looks different every day. Today, he still can't do this question right, but tomorrow he will..."

Liu Chunhua suppressed her voice: "Your daughter doesn't have a problem meeting anymore. Every day, she finishes her homework ahead of schedule. Every question is correct. The words are neat and the people are also neat. I don't need to call for brushing my teeth. She even helps with housework. You know where you go, and you talk to people in a different way, which is different every day? Do you think your IQ is matched with my temper, and you can give birth to such a child?"

Chen Junjie: "..."

Chen Junjie: "If you say Niannian, just say Niannian, don't bother me, I have a good IQ, I've been to college at least..."

Liu Chunhua: "Anyway, I can't give birth to this child."

Chen Junjie: "Then where did this kid come from?"

Liu Chunhua stared at Chen Nian's back: "It's my child..."

Chen Junjie: "Look at what you are doing day by day. I can't figure it out myself. It's very contradictory."

Liu Chunhua stopped talking, she was very contradictory.

Chen Nian was brought up by her mother Mo Ruomu, and she handed in all the letters before going to school.

No one knows better than her her daughter's living habits, academic performance, and character.

Ever since she ran away to the orphanage, Liu Chunhua felt weird.

The strange thing is not that she suddenly insisted on going to the orphanage to make friends, the strange thing is that she seemed to have grown up a lot overnight.

Many things are different, and the logic of speaking and doing things has gone out of the category of children, but if you want to say that she is wrong, there is indeed no problem.

Even if you want to say that she is not good, there is nothing wrong with it except that she is extremely stubborn because of Fang Zhi's affairs.

A woman's sixth sense jumps back and forth, thinking about it too much, Liu Chunhua even dreamed that the Buddha came one night, and gave her a doll, saying that this is my jade girl, you should take good care of it.

Liu Chunhua who woke up the next day: "..."

She only hopes that her children will grow up safely and happily, and she doesn't want any gods descending from the earth to be golden boys and jade girls.

Liu Chunhua didn't believe in feudal superstition before, but when she looked at Chen Nian now, her thoughts would always drift in some strange directions.

She told Chen Junjie that the man laughed at her for a while, and she took out all of Chen Nian's homework with reason, but the man was just taken aback for a moment, and then asked her, what are you going to do?Send the daughter back to the Bodhisattva?

Liu Chunhua:

Men are really unreliable.

The unreliable man happily carried flowers and ran to the same line with his daughter. The two of them got something for nothing, and they were as happy as fools.

Liu Chunhua sighed, could only follow their footsteps, and decided to go back and chat with her old sister.

On the way, the three parted ways.

Liu Chunhua went home, and Chen Junjie took Chen Nian to the orphanage.

The two chatted a lot about growing flowers on the bus. Chen Nian even knew more than adults. Chen Junjie looked shocked, and Chen Nian waved: "Oh, I just learned from my older friend."

Chen Junjie gave her a thumbs up: "Fang Zhi will definitely think you are amazing."

Chen Nian's eyes lit up: "Really? Really?"

Chen Junjie: "Really, I was chasing your mother back then, and I took her to the museum and told her the history of those bottles and jars. She thought I was super powerful, and later... she married me."

Chen Nian twitched the corner of his mouth: "That... we... are still different..."

It's really hypocritical to say this.

But when he arrived at the orphanage, Chen Nian poured out the fresh branches from his schoolbag, which really shocked Fang Zhizhu.

Fang Zhizuo was stunned for a long time without speaking. While talking to her about what he had seen and gained today, Chen Nian cleaned up all the branches and planted a long row along the wall of the vegetable garden.

Fang Zhizhuo squatted beside her, looking at those twigs. The two of them were in the same posture as when they were crying yesterday, but they both felt much happier.

Fang Zhizhu asked: "Is it just watering?"

"Yes." Chen Niandao, "It takes about ten days for the roots to grow. The key is to keep the soil moist."

Fang Zhizhu: "Can I really live?"

"Yes." Chen Nian patted his chest, with the same confident expression as the nursery uncle, "As long as you take it seriously, you can definitely live."

Fang Zhi laughed.

Chen Nian felt that he had made rapid progress and made outstanding achievements, and the smile returned to Fang Zhizhu's face so quickly.

She stayed with Fang Zhizhu for a long time that day, the two of them read books, ate together, and played small games with everyone.

Before leaving, Fang Zhizhu took her to the vegetable garden again, carefully watering with a kettle: "Is that so?"

The little Fang Zhizhu poured water under the moonlight

The water looks cute and beautiful, Chen Nian feels that the wrinkles in his heart have been ironed out, and he feels very comfortable.

She nodded frantically: "Yes, yes."

"But don't be nervous," she added, "I'll be here early tomorrow morning!"

"Okay." Fang Zhi's eyes sparkled.

But the next day, Chen Nian didn't get what he wanted.

Mom suddenly wanted to take her to visit relatives, saying that there was something very important and the whole family had to go out together.

Chen Nian's protest was ineffective, so he could only hurry up and call the orphanage.

She knew about Dean Su's delayed transmission last time, but this time she learned to be smart, so she didn't tell Dean Su, but directly told Fang Zhizhu.

The little girl begged for help in a sweet voice, and Dean Su naturally would not refuse. She asked someone to call Fang Zhizhu, and Fang Zhizhu answered the phone, saying in a small voice, "Hello."

"Zhizhi!" Chen Nian shouted, "I am Nian Nian!"

Fang Zhizhu: "Oh."

Chen Nian: "I have something to do at home and I have to go out. I can't go see you now."

Fang Zhizhu's voice revealed a touch of disappointment: "Oh."

Chen Nian thought again and again: "If you really can't make it today, then we'll see you tomorrow."

Fang Zhizhu: "Well..."

Chen Nian: "You have to help me take care of our little flower!!!"

Fang Zhizhu felt a little stronger this time: "Yeah!"

Chen Nian laughed, it seemed that this trick was useful.

Even if they are afraid of death, even if the huge ups and downs cannot be overcome, people still yearn for hope.

Hope hangs in front of you, even if it is just the bud of a flower or a promise from a friend, it is enough to make you move forward with full expectation.

Move forward.
