Tao Huainan remained in this state for a long time afterwards, but whenever he became interested in something and became curious, as soon as the imagination in his mind was replaced by slowness, all curiosity disappeared immediately, and he resisted these imaginations in a down-to-earth manner. .
This leads to the fact that boys have no ambiguous things in their minds when they reach the stage of enlightenment and growth.
In Tao Huainan's ignorant innocence, Chiku grew taller, his shoulders became stronger, his voice became more pleasant, and no one called him ugly anymore.
In the process of growing up, every day is dull, but every tomorrow is also a new story.
Tao Huainan is celebrating his birthday tomorrow, and after this birthday he will be sixteen.
Chiku is also sixteen, his birthday is younger, not a year older than Tao Huainan. Tao Huainan was about to touch the beginning of Shiliu, and he was struggling at the end of Shiliu.
Just one month after the start of the third year of junior high school, Chi Ku won the first place in the school again in the first month of the third year of junior high school.
Ah, now it's late.
Last year, his household registration was completely removed from Chi's family. Tao Xiaodong could not meet the adoption requirements, and now his household registration is in Brother Huang's family. Before settling down, Tao Xiaodong didn't think it was too much trouble, he tossed and tossed for several days, and finally settled down.
"It's bitter for his grandma and grandson." Tao Xiaodong looked at "Chi Ku" and found it unpleasant and hot-eyed.
"Chi Cheng" was added to the new account. Tao Xiaodong put his arms around his shoulders, and with a smile in his eyes, he said to him, "Brother, run, fly."
From that day on, the "cheap name" that was given to make a living was gone, and the "bitterness" of the past was also gone.
Tao Huainan was not used to it at first, and he still called it "slowness" for too many years. Later, I called Shun a new name, but others also called him that, which seemed not intimate enough.
Going around and going back and forth, one day when Chi Cheng was studying, Tao Huainan touched him and called "Brother Bitter". Tao Xiaodong usually called it that in jokes, and Tao Huainan followed suit.
Chi Cheng glanced at him and let him go.
Tao Huainan fell asleep early, Chi Cheng studied a little longer than him, and fell asleep before ten o'clock.
After sleeping until midnight, Tao Huainan's cell phone alarm clock started to ring, and both of them woke up. Chi Cheng put an arm around him from behind, woke up, pulled away and turned over.
Tao Huainan was so sleepy that his cell phone rang again a minute later.
"Tell me happy birthday." Tao Huainan stretched his hands back to pat Chi Cheng.
Chi Cheng closed his eyes and said, "Happy birthday."
"What else?" Tao Huainan turned around, facing him.
Chi Cheng almost fell asleep and didn't answer him.
Tao Huainan waited for a long time without waiting for him to speak, and patted him unhappily again, Chi Cheng barely opened his eyes: "Huh?"
"It's gone? Think about how much I have to say to you every time you celebrate your birthday." Tao Huainan muttered.
The little blind man has a sense of ritual, he also sets an alarm clock for Chi Cheng's birthday, wakes up in the middle of the night and says a series of good words, summed up in the hope that the little brother will always be happy.
Chi Cheng doesn't have his sense of ritual, and he doesn't think so much. Now I'm sleepy, I can't keep my eyes open.
"I'm leaving." Tao Huainan was no longer sleepy, and was about to get up as soon as the quilt was lifted.
Chi Cheng stopped him with an arm: "What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to my brother's house." Tao Huainan took his arm away, "I'm not like you."
Chi Cheng dragged him back, he didn't know what he was doing here in the middle of the night, his brain was worn out.
Tao Huainan was dragged back, but he was still not very happy, mainly because there was a gap, and he felt that Chi Cheng was perfunctory.
Chi Cheng raised his arm, put his hand on Tao Huainan's face and pressed down. Tao Huainan's face was covered in the pillow and he said, "Oh, oh, oh" and quit, Chi Cheng pulled the person on him again, Tao Huainan put his face on Chi Cheng, and heard him say: "Okay, go to sleep, I will accompany you next year." looking at you."
This sentence sounded like it was true, Tao Huainan finally gained strength, adjusted a comfortable posture contentedly, grabbed Chi Cheng's clothes, and hummed, "I'll be with you too."
Chi Cheng scratched the back of his head and said, "Go to sleep."
Tao Huainan's age has grown year by year, and he has gradually grown taller, with more and more eyes. Sometimes Tao Xiaodong would laugh and say that he is like a little fox.
But no matter how old he is, he is still that annoying person who whimpers all day long at home.
And as time went on, it got more annoying than ever.
"Happy birthday baby." Tao Xiaodong threw the gift box on his bed, and Tao Huainan hugged and touched it.
"What?"
"Mobile phone." Tao Xiaodong said.
"Mobile phone again?" Tao Huainan got off the bed, stepped on his slippers, and put the box on the dining table, "Go back quickly, I'm using it right now."
"Don't you say it's not easy to use?" Tao Xiaodong opened the box and handed it to Chi Cheng who came out of the kitchen, "You can set it up for him, I'm too lazy to do it now."
"You just spend money recklessly, Tao Xiaodong." Tao Huainan sat beside him, tapping his fingers on the table, "Have you got money? Is it easy to earn money?"
Tao Xiaodong was amused by him, nodded and said "good money".
Tao Huainan now has WeChat, QQ Weibo, and audiobook software on his mobile phone, and occasionally listens to books. But sometimes the blind mode is not easy to use, and there will be interfaces that cannot be covered. At this time, Tao Huainan can only ask Chicheng to help him.
"I already have a few mobile phones, and the ones that come with airtime charges are enough for me." Tao Huainan was still muttering, "What difference does it make to me between thousands of dollars or hundreds of dollars?"
He himself didn't think it was a big deal when he said it, but it didn't sound like a big brother listening to it. Why does their younger brother use it without distinction, he has to have it even if he can't see it, and he has to have whatever other people have.
I went to the store with my brother during the day, and now my brother and Huang have opened a new store. It's a big store, and there are many deaf-mute people in the store, all of whom are part-time students.
Tao Huainan now likes to go to the store, he likes the atmosphere there, everyone is friendly and kind.
Chi Cheng downloaded the software for Tao Huainan, and Tao Huainan sat cross-legged next to him and asked, "Don't forget the listening software."
"Down."
"I haven't finished listening to the book yesterday." Tao Huainan patted Chi Cheng's leg, "Can you just help me jump to the progress I was listening to?"
There's nothing wrong with it, Chi Cheng said "hmm".
He had just opened the software on Tao Huainan's old phone, when Tao Huainan remembered something, suddenly leaned over and held down the phone, and said, "No need, don't fix it."
Chi Cheng glanced at him, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Have you heard the nonsense again?"
"No, it's not messy." Tao Huainan held his phone and refused to let him fix it, "I'll fix it myself later."
Chi Cheng pushed his hand away, checked the progress, and adjusted it for him on the new phone, without reading the words on it.
Tao Huainan himself explained: "It's really not a mess, it just happened to be the plot."
Chi Cheng pinched his face and didn't bother to pay attention to him: "Listen to your little pornography."
Once before, Tao Huainan downloaded an unknown book by himself, and after opening it, he began to read some dirty content within a few paragraphs.
Chi Cheng pulled off an earphone from the side and plugged it into his ear. After listening to a few words, he deleted the book and told Tao Huainan not to listen to it.
Tao Huainan, a clean kid, never took the initiative to find such books to listen to. He usually listened to serious books. Feeling embarrassed and aggrieved by Chi Kuu's words, he kept on explaining for a long time. Chi Cheng knew that he was actually very obedient, so he didn't care much about him afterwards.
Chi Cheng finished downloading everything, turned on the blind mode, and handed it to Tao Huainan.
Only then did Tao Huainan heave a sigh of relief. He put the phone in his pocket, but didn't dare to take it out.
The book he listened to yesterday really couldn't let Chi Cheng know, if he knew it, he couldn't explain it clearly. This is different from the little yellow books in the past. The plots that are a bit out of the standard are all about actions and language.
Tao Huainan didn't know how to describe yesterday's book, but it sounded wrong everywhere. The relationship between the characters was something he didn't even dare to think about, and hearing it made him feel uncomfortable.
But he still wanted to finish it.
If Chi Cheng knew about this, he might get angry, and he might not let him listen to the book in a fit of anger. Chi Cheng is too strict with him now, the older he grows, the more fierce he becomes, not soft at all.
The child has grown up like a sapling, more cheerful than before, and no longer so closed.
When he was in the store, Tao Huainan had a great time with the deaf and dumb kids. A group of disabled kids got together and chatted nonsense in the group when they were not working.
There is a large group in the company, and there is a small group for these small disabled people, and Tao Huainan is also in it.
Blind and mute sounds like a difficult match. In the past, they couldn't communicate at all, but now with mobile phones, voice and text can be switched to each other, and one relies on the ears and the other relies on the eyes. Communication is effortless at all.
They have their own little world, and in their own little circle, everyone is at ease.
Chi Cheng studied to make papers upstairs, and let Tao Huainan go downstairs to play by himself.
My brother is also downstairs, and he has a client today.
Chi Cheng worked on a set of papers for two hours, and when he was almost done, he felt someone pat him on the shoulder. Chi Cheng looked back and saw a college student who had just arrived in the store making gestures with him.
Chi Cheng raised his eyebrows and asked him what's wrong with his expression.
The other party pointed downstairs, opened his mouth and couldn't speak, and could only shout "ah" a little anxiously.
Chi Cheng stood up and followed him downstairs.
As soon as he got down to the second floor, he saw Tao Huainan sitting on the sofa in the rest area with his hands covering his shoulders. His expression seemed to be in pain, but he was still smiling, heartless.
Chi Cheng walked over: "What's wrong?"
As soon as Tao Huainan heard him coming, he stretched out his hand to touch him, and whispered, "I hit the nail."
Chi Cheng frowned, came over and pulled his collar away, his white skin was red, and there was a small blood spot in the middle, enough snowdrops oozed out, it was about to flow down.
"Where did you knock?" Chi Cheng asked him in a calm voice.
"There's a new shelf over there, I don't know." Tao Huainan shook his hand, "I'm sorry."
After a while, I couldn't see it, and there was no rest. When I was knocked and hurt, I thoughtfully knew that I would not disturb my brother's work, and only knew to find my brother.
