Reborn with a Cell Phone 2007

Ji Shumiao worked overtime on both days of the weekend. It was a rare Sunday afternoon when he didn't have work, but he still couldn't take a break.

Except for Ji Shulang who was still on his way home, the whole family was at his grandparents' house.

The next week's final exam is coming up, and Ji Shumiao is looking at the key points of knowledge in each subject that Qingqing has compiled for her;

Grandpa is teaching Tongtong to recite Tang poetry;

Grandma, Qin Yun, and Qin Rong gathered together to study fashion magazines and discuss the fashion trends for next year;

Xiaoyu was reading a science fiction novel on the side. It was the famous work of a British science fiction master in the last century. Director Mesmer will remake this novel after the new year, and Xiaoyu will also go to the United States to shoot.

Ji Shiqian and Ji Zhenhua, the two fathers, sat in a row, signing the documents that Ji Shumiao brought back. For all the documents that Ji Shumiao reviewed and approved, she would sign her name in pencil below the signature line. The two fathers only needed to look through the pages one by one to find the place where she signed and sign their names.

Ji Zhenhua sighed: "There is a sense of happiness in being a puppet emperor."

Qin Rong: "Why don't you get a body contract for your father to sign?"

"Who are you selling it to?" Ji Shumiao asked, "Does anyone want it?"

Qin Rong: "That's true."

Ji Zhenhua: “…”

Ji Shulang came back before dinner, looking distraught and absent-minded. The whole family came up to him to ask questions.

Ji Shumiao: "What's wrong? Is there trouble at the garment factory or the building materials factory?"

Qin Yun: "Are you too tired? Hasn't everything been going well these past two days?"

"Are you sick?" Grandma reached out and touched his forehead. "You don't have a fever."

Facing the concerned faces, Ji Shulang said sadly: "They went skiing."

Ji Shulang accidentally saw Gao Mandong's circle of friends and complained that Xu Jinhuan valued women over friends and did not take her with him when he went skiing.

"..."

After a brief silence, Ji Shumiao taunted, "Tsk!"

Everyone dispersed in silence and continued to do their own things.

Ji Shulang, who was left in the place, broke into pieces, slowly.

No one had the leisure to comfort him, and the whole family was used to this fragile item that was not presentable.

The New Year is coming soon, so it is appropriate to wish you peace and happiness.

Ji Shumiao smacked his dry lips and tongue, then went into the kitchen to see what to eat for dinner. While Xie Cuilan wasn't paying attention, he opened the freezer and took out a handful of popsicles.

The room is heated well, and it's dry and hot. I can't stand it without eating some popsicles.

"Brother Sui Sui, would you like some crushed ice?" Ji Shumiao took a piece of crushed ice and poked the back of Brother Lang's neck. "It tastes like durian, coriander and bitter melon."

Ji Shulang's outstretched hand was shrunken back in fear: "What a horrible taste, is it a biological weapon to exterminate humanity?"

"Just kidding, pineapple flavor."

Ji Shumiao threw the crushed ice to him, holding a mung bean popsicle in his mouth, and turned around to bring cool drinks to Xiaoyu and Tongtong. When he passed by the desks of his two fathers, they were robbed.

Xie Cuilan soon discovered that the freezer for cold drinks had been opened. She hurried out of the kitchen and said angrily, "It's almost time for dinner, what are you doing? Are you going to eat soon? How can your stomach handle the sudden change of temperature? Uncle Qian, Uncle Hua, why are you acting like kids..."

"You still say they are children. You are only two years older than Brother Lang." Ji Shiqian chewed a mango popsicle and disagreed, "Why do you make yourself look so old?"

Ji Shumiao: "It's all because of worrying."

Grandma took Xie Cuilan away and said, "Let's not bother with those devils. Come with me. I have something to tell you."

Ji Shumiao mentioned it a few days ago. Grandma and the others have been helping to keep an eye out for various local dating groups, hobby clubs, etc. for young people in the past few days. Now, all the results of the past two days have been stuffed into Xie Cuilan.

Grandma: "Join this friend group. They are all people around your age."

Qin Rong: "I've signed you up for this home economics class. What you learn is secondary. The main thing is to make some friends."

Qin Yun: "This club is full of girls. There will be an event next week. I'll give you a day off. Go and have some fun."

"What... are you doing?" Xie Cuilan frowned.

"You can't stay at home all day, you'll get suffocated." Grandma held her hand and patted it. "At your age, you don't have to rush into a relationship, but you must make friends and have your own social circle. Before, you had a birthmark on your face and didn't want to go out, so we couldn't say anything. Now that the birthmark is gone, you should dress up beautifully and go out."

"But……"

"No buts." Grandma interrupted her, "From now on, on your days off, you are not allowed to stay at home. Go out and play. Grandma will reimburse you for the expenses."

Qin Rong: "That's right, you can't just stay in the kitchen all day, you have to have your own hobbies."

Qin Yun: "How can you encounter love if you don't go out? Are you waiting for a burglary at home?"

"You may not encounter robbers at home, but you will definitely encounter bandits when you go out." Ji Shumiao couldn't help but complain, "What love, love, how can you find love as soon as you go out? Those men who suddenly appear, have everything suitable, and are all-round top-notch, are the most problematic."

The sudden appearance of a completely compatible partner must have other intentions.

Ji Shulang: "You said happy..."

"Shut up! I'm annoyed when I hear you talking!" Ji Shumiao interrupted him in time.

Ji Shulang: "You don't understand. When you meet the guest of your dreams, you will understand..."

"I don't understand!" Ji Shumiao said bluntly, "Even if it's the Jade Emperor or the King of Heaven, I can't let you put down your dignity and chase me. Look at your embarrassing and stupid appearance. How can we have a long-lasting love affair when the country is not yet prosperous? I'm too lazy to say anything to you, tui~"

Ji Shulang's face was filled with black lines, and his whole body was petrified with tiny cracks appearing on it.

Beijing Lianhuashan Ski Resort.

Xu Jinhuan and Zuo Yi entered the restaurant and sat down. Zuo Yi took the menu from the waiter and handed it to Xu Jinhuan naturally: "I'm going to the bathroom. Just order what you like."

Zuo Yi went to the bathroom and stopped by the cashier. He said to the cashier, "Table 33, if my girlfriend comes to pay secretly, please don't take her money."

The cashier smiled, "I understand," and nodded in agreement.

Zuo Yi entered the bathroom, locked the cubicle door, took out his cell phone and made a call. He said straight to the point, "Give me another 5,000 yuan."

He just took a look at the prices on the menu, which were not cheap.

"You want money again?" The voice of an old woman was on the other end of the line. "Skiing is so expensive, 20,000 yuan has been spent? It's so expensive to date girls in the city?"

Zuo Yi said impatiently: "What are you talking about? Call me right now! Tell my third sister that I want to see the money within half an hour."

"Okay, okay, I'll tell her."

"Hurry up, spend little money to do great things, don't be stingy and delay my future."

As long as he has Xu Jinhuan in his hands, he has no reason to worry about his future.

On the other side, Xu Jinhuan was also on the phone with his mother: "Well, we'll stay here for one night, play for another day tomorrow, and go back in the afternoon."

"Then please be careful~"

"I know."

Haiyun's mother: "I said 'driving' safely."

Xu Jinhuan: "...You think too much. Zuo Yi and I have two rooms."

"Don't worry, Mom and Dad are very open-minded in this regard."

Xu Jinhuan gave up the proof: "Okay, I'll bring you a grandson next year."

"Your grandson is not needed for the time being, just take Zuo Yi home~"

Xu Jinhuan suddenly felt a little shy: "Let's talk about it later."

Seeing Zuo Yi coming over, Xu Jinhuan quickly said goodbye to his mother and hung up the phone.

Zuo Yi pretended to be unhappy: "I was in a hurry to hang up the phone as soon as I got back. Who were you talking to?"

"My mother asked me when I would take you home."

Zuo Yi laughed, his bright and cheerful appearance touched people's hearts: "I am always ready, anytime is fine."

Xu Jinhuan changed the subject: "I rarely hear you talk about your family."

"I am from an ordinary family, there is nothing much to say." Zuo Yi held her hand, his eyes full of tenderness, "But they often hear me mention you, and ask me when I will bring you home."

When the waiter came to serve them the food, Xu Jinhuan shyly withdrew his hand.

The phone rang at an inopportune moment. Zuo Yi glanced at Xu Jinhuan who was talking to the waiter, weighed the matter for a moment, and then answered the phone at his seat.

"Sister, Huanhuan and I are eating outside." Zuo Yi said first.

Not knowing what was said on the other end of the phone, Zuo Yi responded with "hmm", and finally said "OK" before hanging up.

Xu Jinhuan was puzzled: "Is she your cousin?"

"My dear sister."

"Didn't you say before that you were an only child?"

Zuo Yi said as a matter of course: "Yes, I am the only boy in my family, so I am the only son; there is only one girl in my family, so she is the only daughter."

Xu Jinhuan was surprised: "Is this how you calculate it there?"

Zuo Yi was equally puzzled: "Isn't it always like this?"

"No." Xu Jinhuan explained the meaning of "only child" and said curiously, "When we were born, family planning was in place, and very few people of our age had brothers and sisters."

The two chatted while eating. Zuo Yi used a serving chopstick to pick up food for her: "My family lives in the countryside. At that time, there was a 'one and a half child' policy. Rural couples whose first child was a girl could have another child."

"Girls... only count as 'half-birth'?"

Zuo Yi said helplessly: "Due to the limitations of the times, rural families have to make a living by farming, and they need strong laborers."

Zuo Yi talked about "Frog", which won the Mao Dun Literature Prize this year. Through the story of a rural gynecologist, it showed the arduous and complicated process of implementing family planning in the country.

Zuo Yi: "In fact, Mo Yan's "Big Breasts and Wide Hips" touched me more. There are treasures in the sky, the sun, the moon and the stars; there are treasures on earth, big breasts and wide hips. Lu Xuan'er, who gave birth to a child with her wide hips and fed the child with her wide breasts, was just a mother who was imprisoned by feudal ideas and could not take a single step. Some people only saw her debauchery, but not her suffering."

He called the protagonist "Lu Xuan'er" instead of "Shangguan Lu", which made her look happy and moved.

Xu Jinhuan: "I saw this book in my father's study before. At first I thought Professor Xu had fallen and was reading pulp novels, but my father found out just after I read the beginning and he didn't let me read it."

Later, Xu Jinhuan tried to understand the general content of the book, but quickly put it out of his mind. Now, after hearing Zuo Yi say this, he wanted to read it carefully again.

"You must have been very young at the time. It is said that one should read The Dream of the Red Chamber when young, and the same is true for Big Breasts and Wide Hips." Zuo Yi laughed, "Because of the vulgar title, Mo Yan was often criticized. Many people even called the book a reactionary novel, but it is still an excellent literary work, which contains Mo Yan's deep thoughts on life, mothers, and history."

Xu Jinhuan: "Then I must read it carefully. The school library should have it, right?"

"I have this book. I'll give it to you when I get back."

"Okay." Xu Jinhuan agreed happily.

He likes to read the books that Zuo Yi has read the most. He will write his own opinions in the books, which plays the same role as video barrage.

There was snow outside the window, and they were chatting in the warm restaurant.
