Dead after eight years [rebirth]

Five years after being rescued from the sea of ​​fire by Cheng Shuibei, 23-year-old Hou Chuang earned the starting point of his family with his own hands.

On Cheng Shuibei's first day back in Jiangshuo, the little monkey led him to see the new house.The house that Little Monkey bought is by the river. It is a newly opened property along the river in Jiangshuo Dongcheng New District. It is estimated that it will take more than half a year to hand over the house.

Hou Chuang was not in a hurry, and pointed to an [-]-story building facing the street and introduced it to Brother Bei excitedly: "The one on the south side of the fourth floor is the one. It's not convenient to go in and look at the house now. Brother Bei, I will show you the place first. If you come back during the holidays in the future, you will come to live at home, there is a lot of room."

"Okay!" Cheng Shuibei agreed. Although it was only a small house with three bedrooms and one living room, Hou Chuang was very content. He lived with Xiaoru, his grandma lived in one room, and the other room was reserved for the children.

Little Monkey is a sincere child, only his wife and children are on the bed in his mind.

Cheng Shuibei didn't laugh at him. For an orphan, someone took him in when he was a child, and when he grows up, he can earn money to support himself and give back to his grandmother. The little monkey is already very remarkable.

The new house has also been seen, so it's time to discuss the happy event.

Cheng Shuibei flipped through the wedding photos of the two that the little follower handed over.

In the past year or so, Hou Chuang has successfully lost weight. He has turned from a fat man into a muscular man. Wearing a suit, he looks like he can take on the important responsibilities of the family.

Xiaoru next to him had a happy smile on her face. Although she was dressed in a photo studio outfit in a small county town on the [-]th line, her happy smile was no worse than that of a bride wearing a high-end wedding dress.The little monkey said that she is no longer an apprentice, and he will open a hairdressing shop for his wife in two years.

At that time, Xiao Hou'er will be the boss of the two stores, and Xiao Ru will be the happy proprietress.

"When will the wedding be held?" Cheng Shuibei asked.He had been back from Yunan for several days, and he hadn't heard anything about the ceremony from the little monkey.How far is the bride's home? How many cars are needed to pick up the bride? How many tables are reserved in the hotel?

Hou Chuang scratched his head and said embarrassingly: "My wife said that I am an orphan with no relatives and no reason, only my grandma. There are few people at the ceremony and I can't afford the scene, so I just don't make it big. Save some money for me I also bought a car for her. But the ceremony is indispensable. After receiving the certificate, we plan to book a few tables in the hotel. Please invite relatives and friends to be witnesses. Brother Bei, I don’t have any relatives. You and grandma are my closest relatives. people."

Grandma raised him, Cheng Shuibei rescued him, the little monkey will remember these two people in his heart, and he will never forget them until his death.

The fourteenth day of February is a good day, which is called Valentine's Day for young people. The lunar calendar is the twelfth day of the first month. As the old saying goes, a mouse gets married. A smooth and stable day is considered an auspicious day.

Hou Chuang got up early in the morning to wash and dress up, put on the four-figure good clothes sent by his brother Bei, and drove Xiaoru to get the certificate.

There were quite a few people who got the certificates on Valentine’s Day. Little Monkey and the others didn’t get in line until 11:30. They took photos and stamped and came back after receiving the certificates. It happened to be lunch time.

Little Monkey invited his friends, and Xiao Ru had to go back to her house to run some business, so Jiang Shuo only set up three tables.

Cheng Shuibei and grandma, as the little monkey's family, sat at the main table.

Zhang Ci'an, Cheng Nan, and Cheng Zhacha all came. Even though Zhou Xingzhan didn't communicate often, he sent someone to send him a thick red envelope that day.

"Brother Bei, should I take it?" The little monkey asked Cheng Shuibei hesitantly as he looked at the huge sum of money.

Cheng Shuibei stuffed the money into his pocket: "Take it, why not take it, it's only 5000 yuan, he wants to buy a conscience."

That's right, back then the little monkey followed Cheng Shuibei to run around for the magazine. Zhou Xingyan said that he would leave it behind, Cheng Shuibei could not contact him, and he could give the little monkey a red envelope when he had a happy event It can be considered that there is still a little bit of conscience, anyway, the most important thing Boss Zhou lacks is money.

In this way, the unpleasant episode caused by unhappy people passed quickly, because the bride and groom were urged to come out to toast together.

Xiao Ru changed into a long red dress, and her hair was made into the most popular curly hair nowadays, so she and Xiao Hou'er are a perfect match when they stand together.

"Grandma," the little monkey said loudly. In the past two years, grandma has gotten old and her hearing is bad. You have to shout to communicate with her. "Grandson and grandson-in-law have made a toast to you."

Xiaoru then called grandma, Grandma Hou grinned to the sky, happily drank her granddaughter-in-law's tea, and tremblingly took out a small cloth bag from her pocket.

The cloth bag was wrapped in a handkerchief, with an old jade bracelet in the middle.

"Grandma's mother gave it to grandma. Grandma has never been married and kept it until now. From now on, it will be Xiaoru's."

Grandma Hou put the bracelet representing inheritance into Xiaoru's palm with her own hands, and held the hand of granddaughter-in-law, almost crying with joy.

After toasting grandma, the little monkey poured Cheng Shuibei the second glass of wine.

"Brother Bei, without grandma and you, there would be no Hou Chuang today. I almost thought I was going to die in the fire at that time. It was you who rescued me. I..."

The little monkey wanted to go on, but was stopped by Cheng Shuibei, who patted the back: "On the happy day, you can never die. You and your younger siblings are fine. Brother Bei will always be your solid backing. You will have a chance in the future." Go to Yunan, we brothers will be together again!"

Xiao Cheng boldly drank the wine toasted by the new couple, and was so happy that he couldn't find the north. Seeing that the little monkey was about to go to the next person, he wanted to raise his glass, but was stopped by Professor Zhang's eyes.

Cheng Shuibei's heart skipped a beat, and he pulled the little monkey aside and whispered a few words.

After Hou Chuang listened, his face turned red and green, as if he was very shocked.

Not long after, a toast was made to Zhang Ci'an, and the little monkey toasted: "Brother Ci."

Before Zhang Ci'an could say the prepared blessings, he heard the little monkey hesitate, and his voice became quieter.

"Brother Bei asked me to call you sister-in-law, but... I think it's better to call you brother, and I can't speak, I just hope you are all well."

After finishing speaking, the little monkey drank it down. It is hard to imagine how shocked he was when he heard from Cheng Shuibei that Zhang Ci'an was his rumored sister-in-law.But the shock was the shock, Hou Chuang's heart was big, and he almost digested it after drinking two glasses of wine.

Zhang Ci'an lowered his eyebrows and nodded to thank him, with a smile in the corner of his eyes.

Hou Chuang spoke in a low voice, Xiao Ru didn't hear it and just called "Brother Ci", so it seemed to the guests that there was nothing unusual here.Not only did Zhang Ci'an not mind, but he seemed to be in a very happy mood. He said a few more words of blessing, and he also welcomed Xiaoru and Hou Chuang to play in Yunan. If you need help in Jiangshuo, you can call him at any time.

When the little monkey went to the next table, Professor Zhang moved his fingers slightly while no one looked down, as if he was looking at his phone.

Then Boss Cheng received his message.

[Zhang Da Niu]: Regarding the title issue, I will apply for further discussion.

Cheng Shuibei moved his finger: The proposal is rejected!No appeal allowed.

After respecting the adults, it is the children's turn.But it was Cheng Nan who held up the fruit juice first and respected Brother Chuang: "Brother, sister-in-law, we will be together for a hundred years!"

This "sister-in-law" was called to Xiaoru's heart, and the bride smiled happily, which was better than all the flowers in the world.

After the group finished their meal, those old friends from the vegetable market went back to do business, and Cheng Shuibei and the others followed to the west of the city to see.

Since the new house has not yet been handed over, Xiaoru and Hou Chuang could only live in the west of the city after they got married. They cleaned the small yard of Cheng's family clean and beautiful, and the little monkey was still on the side of the land where grandma used to grow garlic seedlings Sprinkled with flower seeds, a small bud just appeared in the cold weather in the north, and I don't know what it will be like when it blooms.

Xiaoru said that as long as she lives with Hou Chuang, it will be fine anywhere.

Cheng Shuibei admired their love, and told the little monkey that there should be no shortage of utensils at home. Girls can say no, but give the best if they can.

The little monkey is used to loving his wife, and before Cheng Shuibei could say anything, all the appliances at home were replaced with new ones, and even the exaggerated "wife-in-law seat" was pasted on the front passenger seat of that car.

Seeing that everything was going well with them, Cheng Shuibei felt like weeds growing wantonly, being selflessly illuminated and cared for by the sun.He finally felt for a moment that he was blessed by God, so that he could have all his relatives and friends, his family members were good, and his years were stable.

Shao He was already six years old, and it was time to learn things. Cheng Nan asked to stay for a few more days, but Cheng Shuibei agreed without thinking about anything, so the family still lived in the community opposite the city high school .

On the contrary, Zhang Ci'an is a bit busy, because he will be defending his Ph.D. in the next year, and if the defense goes well, he will be able to graduate early.

Cheng Shuibei counted with his fingers, and he couldn't guarantee that he would be able to be a professor at the age of 30 this time.

So he didn't go out much, and stayed at home to study with Zhang Ci'an when he had nothing to do, and read the bills when he revised his thesis and read the bills.

A few days after the peaceful days, when Cheng Shuibei was worrying about the course final exams in the next year, the newly married groom, Xiao Houer, called.

"Brother Bei, come quickly, I..."

The little monkey started to cry as he spoke, which was heart-wrenching. Cheng Shuibei quickly comforted him: "Don't worry, speak slowly. I'm going downstairs now, and I'll drive there with your loving brother."

With Cheng Shuibei's relief, the little monkey calmed down a little, still crying.

"Brother Bei, grandma is dying."

Cheng Shuibei hung up the phone and rushed west. When he arrived at Cheng's small courtyard, Grandma Hou had already closed her eyes.

The old man is 73 years old this year. The little monkey said that since years ago, grandma has been chanting "73, 84, the king of hell will not tell me to go." The little monkey said she was superstitious, and she just smiled. The 73-year-old hurdle has not passed.

The little monkey said that during dinner, grandma said that she was sleepy, so she went to bed without eating. Who knew that when Xiaoru called her to get up and drink some water before going back to sleep, the old man was already dying, and finally left in his sleep.

In any case, when grandma passed away, she was free from disease, disaster, suffering and pain, which is considered a good thing for the elderly.

Cheng Shuibei helped people organize weddings a few years ago, and will help prepare for funerals next year.Grandma Hou was old and never married. When she got old, she only had Xiao Houer as her relative. The funeral was simple, and she was sent to the cemetery after cremation.

The cemetery is where Hou Chuang and Xiao Ru spent a lot of money to buy it for the elderly. It is not far from home, so they can often go there to sweep and worship.

When he came back from the cemetery, Cheng Shuibei was in a low mood because he went to an elder for a while, and he followed the little monkey home to help clean up grandma's belongings.

Once grandma left, the main house became vacant.

Cheng Wenqiu lived in this place, Grandma Hou lived there, and I will probably live in myself in the future.Cheng Shuibei has infinite feelings.

"It seems to smell, is something broken?"

Xiao Ru tidied up the room, and when she tidied up the bed, she smelled a rotten smell.The little monkey was afraid that there were mice in the house, so he quickly looked under the bed.

This is the only way to know why.

There was a cardboard box under the bed. In addition to some canned biscuits and other snacks, there were two large pineapples in the box. It must have been rotten and smelly after being stored for a long time.

The little monkey dragged the cardboard box out, and explained to Cheng Shuibei with a sad expression: "Lao Wang, who sells fruit after the year, gave grandma two pineapples, saying they were imported from abroad. Eat it when you and Cheng Nan come home again."

During this time, Cheng Shuibei was busy studying, because he wanted to leave space for the newlyweds and never came to disturb him, so the forgotten pineapple fermented in the cardboard box with the years, which became a regret that Cheng Shuibei couldn't bring up anymore.
