Three or Two Things about Rebirth

Xie's father works in the Forestry Bureau and Xie's mother works in a food factory. Both of them are ordinary employees.

From the moment they entered this spacious and luxurious private room, they seemed a little uneasy and even more silent than the Qiu couple.

Among the people present, only Zheng Wei's parents could chat and laugh with Qin Guobang.

When Mother Qin saw Xie Guang pretending to be an adult and toasting Qiu Luming, she smiled and said across the table, "I like Xie Guang. He will definitely be a great kid when he grows up. He's smart and enterprising!"

Xie's mother said helplessly, "This child is just too naughty."

"It's better to have a naughty boy. If you don't have a naughty boy, you might as well have a girl! Besides, naughty children are smart!"

"What's so smart about you? You just play all day and you haven't even finished your summer homework yet!"

"He's only a few years old. When you enter junior high school, you will know how to study! With his two older brothers as role models, how can he be any worse?"

Mother Xie smiled hesitantly and said, "Yes, yes, I'll take your good words."

Qiu Luming sighed in his heart, this director's wife is so good at talking, as long as she wants to praise you, you are full of advantages. When they met just now, she pulled Qiu Luming's arm and sighed, "Oh my child is in great trouble! It's all because of that damn girl Huifang, I have to beat her up when I get home! You said that you two have been together for four or five years, I have always said that Luming is a good child, you can't go wrong by making friends with such an aunt's child! Look at this child, ah, good-looking, good-hearted, the Qiu family has a good family tradition, and all the children have a promising future!"

Beside her, Xie Guang had already filled her cup with orange juice, so full that it couldn't be any fuller.

He poured himself another glass, which was also full.

Putting down the drink bottle, the fearless Xie Guang suddenly became shy. He scratched his head and held his glass with both hands. He lifted it carefully, but a few drops of orange juice still sloshed out. He groaned and simply lowered his head to take a sip. He said embarrassedly, "Hey, it's overflowing." Then he held the glass and clinked it with Qiu Luming's glass on the dining table, "I don't need to thank you for your kindness! We have a long way to go!"

Qiu Luming smiled and went to pick up the cup and was about to stand up.

Xie Guang said, "You sit down!"

Qiu Luming sat down again with a smile, thinking that the child was quite interesting.

Xie Guang is not tall, and I really don’t know how he was so brave to jump into such deep water to save people.

He coughed, and then acted like an adult, saying proudly, "My first life was given by my mother, and my second life was given by you! I won't say anything, it's all in the wine, just wait and see how I'll repay you when I grow up!"

After that, he gulped down the orange juice, turned the cup upside down, shook it, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and said, "I'm done, you can do whatever you want!"

Everyone laughed in good faith. Xie Guang then realized that everyone was looking at him. His face suddenly turned red. He lowered his head and went back to his seat. He sat there for a few seconds. For some reason, he poured himself another glass of orange juice and went to toast Qiu Jiashu.

Qin Huifang couldn't help laughing, "Don't hold on to this kid for a while!"

Qiu Jiashu said to Xie Guang who was toasting him and thanking him, "You're welcome. Your second brother also saved my sister, so our difference cancels out."

"How can they be the same? This depends on each case!" Xie Guang was a little anxious, but he couldn't tell what the difference was.

Qin Huifang raised her glass to Han Meifen across from Qiu Luming, "Meifen, thank you!"

Han Meifen lowered her head and picked up the cup. "You're welcome. Lu Ming asked me to call for help. I didn't even know who fell into the water."

Qin Huifang choked, "You silly girl, did Lu Ming infect you? How come you can't even talk properly!" She smiled and took a sip of her drink, "Forget it, I have to thank you no matter what. I heard that you took a shortcut to the fine sand beach and got a lot of scratches on your legs. Why don't you join us, the Seven Monsters of Jiayang!"

Unexpectedly, Han Meifen shook her head and said, "I won't participate."

Qin Huifang glared at her, "Okay, you are cruel, you are really cruel. Forget it, I am not angry, I am very happy these days! I found that there are many people in this world who care about me, you are not a big deal, anyway, I am very happy!"

After saying that, he bumped Qiu Luming's cup again, "Come on! Another drink for our friendship!"

Then he said to Zheng Wei, who had remained silent, "Come on, Old Zheng!"

The main table suddenly became quiet. Qin Huifang stuck out her tongue and slowly turned her head, nodding and bowing to Zheng's father, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Uncle Zheng, I'm used to calling you Zheng Wei."

Father Zheng laughed out loud, "You scared me, kid!"

Mother Qin glanced at Qin Huifang in a reproachful manner, and stood up to grab the bottle to pour wine for Zheng's father, but Han's father grabbed it first, and with his left hand pressing the hem of his clothes, he bowed slightly and walked to the side of Zheng's father's seat, filled the glass, and poured wine for everyone present. Three rounds of wine had passed, and Han's father had barely eaten anything, as he put all his energy into serving the guests.

Qiu Luming noticed that Han Meifen's head lowered a little more. She picked up a piece of pork ribs and put it on her plate. Then, holding her empty cup in her left hand, she picked up the beer bottle on the table with her right hand, stood up and walked to Xie Zhi. Qiu Jiashu, who was sitting opposite her, immediately looked over nervously.

Xie Zhi immediately stood up, drank the remaining wine in the glass, and asked Qiu Luming to pour the wine.

Qiu Luming's wine pouring technique was not good, and bubbles flowed out and all over Xie Zhi's hand.

She poured herself another glass of beer, but Qiu Jiashu immediately came over to stop her, "I'll drink it for my sister."

Qiu Luming bumped him with his shoulder and looked up at him, "How insincere!"

Xie Zhi also said, "Why would a child drink alcohol? You should drink orange juice like Xiaoguang!"

"I'm not a kid, I'm twenty!"

Last time I sat on the back of his bicycle, this time they were face to face. Qiu Luming could still smell the clean soapy scent on him. He always stood straight out of habit, like a green pine tree.

Qiu Luming touched the middle of Xie Zhi's cup with his cup. Xie Zhi lowered his arm in time, and the two cups were flush and collided lightly, making a crisp sound.

"I've done it, you can do whatever you want." Qiu Luming smiled and imitated Xie Guang's tone, then drank up the beer in the glass.

Xie Zhi smiled helplessly and drank up his beer, "Alright, alright, stop making trouble. If your third brother knows that you drank with me, he will beat me up when he comes back."

Hearing his tone, Qiu Luming sighed and sat back in his seat. At the same time, he also heard his second brother breathe a sigh of relief.

She was not as happy as Qin Huifang. After drinking a glass of beer, she felt a little dizzy. After a while, she wanted to go to the toilet again.

The corridor outside this large private room in the Friendship Hotel is long, with a row of windows facing the river to the north.

When Qiu Luming came back from the toilet, she stood by the window and watched the river flow eastward without hesitation. Xie Guang slipped out quietly and also lay on the windowsill beside her to watch the scenery.

"Have you really not finished your summer homework?"

"you!"

"School starts in two days!"

"..."

"How many points did you get in the final exam? What was your ranking?"

"You're so annoying!" Xie Guang rolled his eyes. "I heard that you didn't like to do your homework at school, you were a failure in grades, and you even got a zero in math!"

Qiu Luming patted his head and said, "You little brat, you have a strong desire for revenge."

"Don't touch my head!" Xie Guang pulled Qiu Luming's hand away with all his strength.

"Hey, what's wrong with your lifesaver touching your head?" Qiu Luming, who had just drunk a glass of beer, felt dizzy after being blown by the river wind. She grabbed Xie Guang's ear and said, "You little dwarf, you're not good at studying, you talk nicely, but how are you going to repay me when you grow up? Huh?"

Xie Guang slapped Qiu Luming's hand and said, "You are the shorty!"

"How old are you? Are you ten?"

"I'm already twelve!"

"Look, he's still so short at twelve, what else could he be but a dwarf?"

Xie Guang stamped his feet in anger, "My second brother is over 1.80 meters tall, I want to be that tall in the future!"

"That's not necessarily true. My second brother is over 1.80 meters tall, and I'm only 1.64 meters tall when I was 20! How tall are you now? Are you 1.40 meters tall?"

Xie Guang bit his lip, stomped his feet, and ran away.
