Rebirth 09: Synthetic Male God

Chapter 6

Zhou Rui's house was on the other side, so he had to go back for a while.

After passing by Pingping Fruit and Vegetable Store, Sichuan Stir-Fry, Video Store, and Barber Shop again, Zhou Rui turned into a dark alley.

In 09, Zhou Rui's home was in a separate residential building beside this small road.

This is not a community, there is no name, only the house number.

This is the house assigned to my grandfather by his work unit. It has only four floors and is quite old. However, he is not familiar with the neighbors here, because he moved here with his mother after his parents divorced.

The stairs of the old house are very long, semi-open, and go back and forth from left to right, passing through the windows of almost every household. Residents cook and exhaust smoke directly into the corridor, so from the walls to the handrails , almost all stained with thick oil color.

The only advantage is that it is easy to tell who cooks better food and who cooks Chinese medicine.

Taking out the key to open the door, Zhou Rui put the schoolbag on the shoe cabinet, and his mother's familiar but unfamiliar voice came from inside.

"Xiao Rui is back? It's a little late today?"

Yao Peili, Zhou Rui's mother.

At this time, she was watching TV on the sofa, and there were some cold dishes on the dining table. When her mother heard the movement, she began to help Zhou Rui heat up the meal.

She came home late in the third year of high school, but Yao Peili never made Zhou Rui ambiguous when eating. Whenever she had time, she would cook by herself, thinking that the things outside were unhygienic.

Zhou Rui looked at the back of his mother, who was much taller and healthier than ten years later, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth inadvertently.

He is a single-parent family, and his parents divorced when he entered junior high school.

My mother works in Qinghe County Culture and Tourism Bureau. Her position is very low but stable. My father runs his own business. He used to be rich, but it has gotten worse and worse over the past few years.

When Zhou Rui was still young when they got divorced, adults would not tell him many things in detail. It was not until later generations that his uncle drank too much that he told the truth to Zhou Rui.

Back then, my father came out of a state-owned enterprise and set up his own factory to do business. He didn’t make much money, but his temper became wild. All kinds of extravagant entertainment made my mother, who was born in an ordinary family and had a conservative family education, not like it. She often went to karaoke and dance halls to earn money People quarrel every day.

In the end, I don't know which quarrel led to the escalation of the conflict, and the two divorced directly in a fit of anger.

Because the father's behavior was indeed indiscriminate, the mother had a stable job to support Zhou Rui, and the uncle worked in the court of Qinghe County.
So Zhou Rui was sentenced to live with his mother.

Father Zhou Weigang has never remarried since then, and has no other children. He has been in business for a few years, and after making profits and losses, he is no longer as unrestrained as he was when he was young. He often appears in the lives of mother and son in the name of watching Zhou Rui .

At that time Zhou Rui didn't understand and couldn't tell the difference.

But after being reborn, I recalled that my mother didn't seem to be too resistant to the appearance of my father. Although she didn't say anything good, she didn't feel disgusted.
In fact, the two are a little bit reunited.

It's just that he didn't really come to this point in his previous life. Because soon Zhou Weigang's factory will close down and he owes a lot of debt.

Zhou Rui took a deep breath, thinking that the problems should be solved one by one.

Being reborn, everything is possible, and all regrets can be made up for.

That might be what it means for him to go back in time.

Yao Peili: "Why are you staring at me? Go wash your hands and heat up right away."

Zhou Rui smiled and said, "Okay, what are you eating today?"

"A piece of steamed fish and stir-fried kale."

Zhou Rui twitched his index finger, washed his hands quickly and sat on the dining table waiting for feeding.

"How is school today?" Yao Peili put the food in front of Zhou Rui: "Hurry up and do your homework after dinner."

Zhou Rui said while eating: "It's just those things, and I do the test papers every day."

Yao Peili smiled and said, "You did well in the monthly exam last time. The teacher praised you. You ranked 12th in the class. Let's keep working hard. It's the last two months. Don't be distracted by other things and study hard."

Zhou Rui lowered his head with a guilty conscience. If your son takes the exam now, I'm afraid his grade will be the bottom one in the whole grade.

When Zhou Rui was in his first and second year of high school, he didn't focus on his studies. He ran around on the court and in Internet cafes every day. When he was in his third year, he suddenly changed his ways and climbed up to his current position step by step.

In the eyes of Yao Peili and other teachers, Zhou Rui is a typical prodigal son who turns his head back. In the future, it will not be a big problem to take the college entrance examination. If you work hard, you may be able to focus on it.

For a county-level high school, this is already a very good result. You can't expect everyone to be Li Wenqian.

Many people, including Yao Peili, were curious as to why Zhou Rui repented. In fact, only Zhou Rui knew the real reason.

One day Zhou Rui escaped from late study after school, ran to the Internet cafe and played wildly for several hours, bluffing with a group of friends, and then returned home with the smell of cigarettes, planning to lie that he came back late after late study .

But that day, my mother came back from working overtime very late, and her face was dusty and exhausted, but she still insisted on cooking for Zhou Rui, and kept blaming herself while doing it.

Said that the things in life are left to mom, you are under a lot of study pressure in the third year of high school, so eat something good.

Zhou Rui wished he could slap himself.

After locking myself in the room, I just feel that I am really not a thing.

A small matter, but it was the starting point for Zhou Rui to catch up.

But looking at it now, high school student Zhou Rui's hard work for the past year seems to be ruined by him, a reborn
Don't talk anymore, hurry up and go to the entries after eating, time is running out!

"By the way, has your father contacted you recently?"

After Zhou Rui got up, her mother seemed to raise her mouth unintentionally.

Zhou Rui shook his head, he couldn't remember clearly, so he could only say he didn't.

"This guy disappeared for half a month, forget it, go back to your room and do your homework, I'll clean it up."

Zhou Rui was thoughtful. The problem in his father's factory may have started now, but he didn't notice it back then.

Suddenly, Zhou Rui saw a business card on the table, looked at it, it turned out to be a real estate agency!
In Zhou Rui's mind, an extremely important memory emerged.

"Mom, where did you get this business card?"

Yao Peili picked up the business card, put it in the remote control box beside her, hesitated and said:
"I didn't want to tell you to distract you, but it's nothing to find out. This house was left by your grandfather. It has been built for decades. The structure is not good and old and old. I am going to wait for you to go to college. , just sell this room, add some money, and change to an elevator room in a new community."

Zhou Rui said in his heart: It really is this matter!

Yao Peili said while tidying up the dishes:
"Now it's not just big cities, even houses in Qinghe County are priced one a day. We can still afford to change houses now. It won't be so in two years. It's enough to toss about once in this life. When I grow old Anyway, there is an elevator, isn't there?"

Although Zhou Rui is only a high school student, there are only mother and son in the family. Yao Peili is willing to discuss such an important matter with her son. She didn't say it before because she was afraid of Zhou Rui's distraction.

In her opinion, this is a good thing. After all, Zhou Rui used to complain about the poor sound insulation of this old building, poor location and so on.

If it wasn't for the college entrance examination approaching, she would even want to change the house quickly. After all, housing prices are rising every day. In a few months, she might not have enough savings.

However, Zhou Rui knew that selling this old house would cause his mother to lose a very important opportunity.

That is demolition!
