Chapter 4 I'm back!

He doesn't want to either!
Two years ago, before officially going to work at the cocktail party held by the Yupo Group on the Neptune cruise ship, he also specially participated in a short training, learning how to save himself in case of accidentally falling into the water, so as to survive to the rescue team. arrival.

It's just that when he fell into the water and didn't swim a few times, he was immediately submerged by a wave, and then he felt something biting his leg behind him, and the sharp tearing pain immediately made him give up. The idea of ​​waiting for the arrival of rescue near the cruise ship, just fled forward with open arms.

As a result, he had just swam for a while when he was sucked down by an unknown force, and immediately passed out. After waking up, he was already trapped in the "Shuiyuan Mansion" Don't come, let alone make phone calls and write letters.

If it wasn't for the fact that he was so anxious that he managed to find a way out of the trap in "Shuiyuan Mansion", he would even have suicidal thoughts.Even so, it took him two full years to completely refine this "Water Yuan Mansion" with his own essence and blood, and successfully escaped from the predicament.

Sighing ashamedly, Shui Zhihan explained vaguely: "Uncle Wen, it's hard to explain this matter. You have to believe me, if there is no other way, I will definitely not refuse to send news to my family. My mother, she is still Ok?"

Seeing that Shui Zhihan didn't want to say more, Wen Chenghai glanced at his shabby clothes again, thinking he had the answer in his heart, so he didn't ask any more questions, but simply said, "It's okay, it's not a serious illness. Maybe she'll get better soon. Since you're back, don't rush to find a job, and stay with her at home first!"

"Yeah! I will!" Shui Zhihan has been concentrating on refining "Shuiyuan Mansion" for the past two years, and he is really exhausted. Enough is enough. He needs to relax and rest for a while!
Holding the little girl in his arms, he walked leisurely into the gate of No. [-] Middle School. Shui Zhihan was about to turn to the familiar left fork, but the little girl pulled him back with all his strength: "Brother, I went wrong, we moved! In the Zhenggong Building Behind it, there is another newly built house."

Shui Zhihan was taken aback: "Isn't that built for the school leaders and first-level teachers?" Two years ago, the planned land had just broken ground.

"Yes!" Shui Zhiyu glanced at him, with a hint of sadness and pride in his eyes: "Among the students my father taught last year, two of them got the highest scores in the English single subject in the province. In order to reward my father, I rated him as a first-level teacher and allocated a new house with four bedrooms, two living rooms and two bathrooms. There is a room dedicated to storing your things, and a room dedicated to cooking small stoves for students. This year's college entrance examination , in the senior three (64) class where my father was the head teacher, another student got the highest score in English in the province again, and nearly half of the students went to the undergraduate course of the national key university, and two-thirds of the students went to the national key university. In the undergraduate line of general universities, there are only ten losers, but their English scores are all above 110.”

Shui Zhihan immediately understood the meaning of his sister's words—the middle-aged man lost his son unexpectedly, and his father, under the grief, devoted most of his energy to the students, thus achieving impressive results.And the school probably also considered these two aspects, and adjusted the living allowance appropriately in a very humane manner.

Shui Zhihan felt deep guilt again, and glanced at Wen Chenghai apologetically.Wen Chenghai also walked in the same direction just now, it seems that he did not get a new house.

Wen Chenghai was very open-minded, and nodded towards him with a smile: "Go, give your parents a surprise earlier. Besides, in the second half of the year, I might move there too!"

"Oh?" Shui Zhihan looked at his sister again in surprise.

Shui Zhiyu smiled sweetly at Wen Chenghai: "Thank you, Uncle Wen, I will take my brother back first." Then he explained in a low voice: "Such a big new house, of course, not only the school leaders and first-level Teachers live there, and several qualified head teachers also live in. Uncle Wen has always taught very well, and his father helped him get through the relationship with Deputy Director Wang of the Education Bureau. In the college entrance examination once, the average score in mathematics was quite good. He was ranked among the top three in the city, and only 12 failed. Therefore, although he is not rated as a first-level teacher for the time being, the matter of the house is on track, Dad said , before school starts, Uncle Wen will definitely be able to live in the same building as us!"

Shui Zhihan's eyes lit up - that's good!To save the relationship between the two families from slowly developing some grievances because of the different treatment.

The new home is on the sixth floor, which is higher than the previous fourth floor, but the tired Shui Zhihan has no complaints. After all, this is mainly a new building for the school leaders, and those good floors such as the third and second floors must be reserved. Give it to the leader.With Shui Zhihan's current physical strength, the sixth floor is not a problem at all, and he doesn't need to breathe if he climbs up in one breath, so he doesn't care much.Moreover, although the floor is high, the staircase is designed to be quite wide and not steep, it can accommodate three people walking side by side at the same time, and it is very comfortable to walk.

Shui Zhihan patiently followed his younger sister up the stairs step by step, and came to the door of the new house. Seeing her younger sister taking out the key to open the door, seeing her excited and delighted smile, Shui Zhihan's already calm heart suddenly felt nervous. Pounding.

I haven't seen each other for two years. The younger sister, who was so innocent and careless before, is so mature that she knows that she needs to find a summer job outside to supplement the family income. What will the father and mother who have suffered from the pain of losing a child look like when they grow old?
"Father, good news, great news!" Opening the door, Shui Zhiyu quickly took off his shoes, and threw Shui Zhihan a pair of brand new slippers from the shoe cabinet, while opening his mouth, he couldn't wait to shout.

"What good news, did you succeed in your interview?" A gentle and soft voice came leisurely from the right rear, shaking the heart of Shui Zhihan who was leaning over to take off his shoes. Uncontrollably warming up slightly, vision soon became blurred, and somewhere in the bottom of my heart that had been emptied for two full years, at this moment, it seemed to be filled with a force full of warmth and care, and immediately Become full and satisfied.

Vigorously shaking off the leather shoe on his right foot, ignoring to put on the separate slipper, Shui Zhihan rushed towards the source of the sound with one bare foot, and opened his mouth to shout eagerly and joyfully: "Mom! It's me, I'm back!"

"boom!"

The middle-aged woman who was carefully tasting a bowl of tomato and egg soup with a small ceramic spoon in the kitchen immediately shook her hand and let the spoon in her hand fall freely into the hot soup just out of the pot, making a crisp sound. There was an extreme collision sound, and several splashes of hot soup were splashed, but the woman didn't notice it at all, her weak face turned around in a daze, and she stared blankly at the cold, big and cold water that was about to rush into her eyes. His deep, but dull eyes were full of disbelief.

At the same time, there was a slight gasp in another closed room behind the left.

Looking at the face that was ten years older than he remembered, Shui Zhihan's body that was rushing forward suddenly stopped, and as soon as he stepped back, the tears that had just overflowed his eyes were immediately accompanied by the two years of longing Guilt and worry burst out of my eyes uncontrollably, and I choked up and called out: "Mom, it's me, I'm Xiaohan! I'm back!"

With a sound of "Squeak!", the door on the left rear was slammed open, and a slightly hoarse, mature voice tremblingly sounded from behind Shui Zhihan, full of surprise, but also full of disbelief: "Xiao Han ? Are you really Xiaohan?"

Shui Zhihan, who was weeping, turned his head quickly, and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with guilt and joy, who was obviously supposed to be in his prime, but was as vicissitudes as a 50-year-old man, and blamed himself: "Dad... !"

It wasn't until now that he suddenly realized that his father's position in his heart was actually no less than that of his mother who had loved him since he was a child!
