After rebirth, I handed over my past life information to the country

"So, you beat me up while you were drunk?" Shui Mutian asked.

Gu Ning, "Yeah!"

Not everyone can beat up the future general, so take advantage of the opportunity now and beat him up as much as possible.

"why?"

"Because you're trying to trick me! If you have questions, just ask. If I want to answer, I'll answer. If you don't want to answer, don't try to trick me. I've handed over all the official business. I don't want to talk about personal matters now."

"I'm sorry! I crossed the line." Shui Mutian admitted his mistake decisively.

"This will never happen again!"

"Row!"

Gu Ning went to the kitchen and brought out two bowls of preserved egg and lean meat porridge. "Let's eat together! We had a lot of fish and meat last night, let's eat something light today."

Shui Mutian took a mouthful of porridge and said, "Well done! Gu Ning, let me make a deal. I'm too lazy to cook by myself. Can I pay for the food and eat at your place?"

"Sure! It's just a matter of having an extra pair of chopsticks, but you can't just eat and not work, you have to help out too."

"no problem!"

Gu Jing also sat down with the porridge.

"Brother Mu, why are the corners of your eyes black?"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Gu Jing blinked, "Did you catch a cold?"

“No!” Gu Ning waved his hand, “Shui Mutian drank too much last night and bumped into the door frame, which is why the corner of his eye is black and blue.

Don't learn from him in the future. Drink in moderation to avoid making a fool of yourself."

"I know, sister!"

Shui Mutian, "..."

After the meal, Gu Ning gave Gu Jing a red envelope, "New Year's money!"

Shui Mutian also took out one, "Gu Jing, Happy New Year!"

Gu Jing took one by one, "Thank you sister, thank you brother Mu!"

Shui Mutian took out another one and handed it to Gu Ning, "This is your New Year's red envelope!"

"I have it too?"

"If you are under 18, you are a child, everyone!"

"Thank you!"

Gu Ning returned to the room and took out a red envelope and handed it to Shui Mutian, "You are not yet eighteen years old, so this is for you!"

Shui Mutian, "..."

Have you forgotten that I am already nineteen years old!

Gu Ning, "Aren't you only sixteen years old? You are also a minor!"

Shui Mutian took the red envelope and said, "Whatever you say is what it comes."

"Sister, where is my red envelope?" Gu Lin, who had just woken up, asked while rubbing his eyes.

Gu Ning took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to Gu Lin, "This is yours."

Shui Mutian then said, "This is also yours, Gu Lin, Happy New Year!"

Gu Lin took the red envelope with both hands, smiling, "Thank you, sister, thank you, brother Mu!"

"Alright! Go wash up and eat, then we'll burn some incense for our parents."

Shui Mutian returned to the house next door, walked into the study, closed the door, then sat in front of the phone, picked up the receiver, pressed a few numbers, and after one second someone answered the call.

"Hey!"

"Boss, I have something to report!"

Shui Mutian reported his conversation with Gu Ning today.

The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Got it. Don't test her in the future. Just like she said, if you have any questions, just ask directly. Don't let her feel alienated from you.

Your most important task is to keep her safe! She is the treasure of our country!"

"Yes!" Shui Mutian stood up straight and saluted the person opposite him.

……

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the city held a Lantern Festival.

According to the customs of City D, the Spring Festival is not truly over until the Lantern Festival.

On this day every year, the city sets aside an area to hold the lantern parade. Lanterns of various styles are hung on the streets, and both sides of the road are lined with lanterns of various shapes and colors, creating a dazzling sight.

Gu Ning brought four children with him. Yes, four children. As soon as Jiang Bin and Jiang Xue finished the third day of the Chinese New Year, the brother and sister moved in happily.

Gu Jing lives with Jiang Xue, and Gu Lin lives with Jiang Bin. I don’t know where these little kids get so much to say. Every night Gu Ning knocks on their doors one by one to ask them to go to bed early, so that the noise in the room will be quieter.

During the holidays, the four kids completely let themselves go and played however they wanted.

Sometimes, in order to get some peace and quiet, Gu Ning would run to Shui Mutian's house next door, and only when it was time for dinner would she take Shui Mutian home to cook.

Gu Ning also intended to indulge them, just so that Gu Jing and Gu Lin could completely get out of the shadow of their parents' death and embrace a new life.

After their parents passed away, Gu Jing and Gu Lin seemed to have grown up overnight. They were no longer mischievous as they should be at their age, and they became so sensible that it made people feel distressed.

Gu Ning was worried that they would mature too early and lose the happiness that they should have in their childhood.

During the Spring Festival, seeing that Gu Jing and Gu Lin had returned to the state of mind they had when their parents were around, Gu Ning was really happy and joined in the fun.

Shui Mutian puts Gu Ning first, and as long as it doesn't involve safety issues, he turns a blind eye when the four children occasionally use his house as a place to play hide-and-seek, and they can play anywhere except in the study.

The four children also know their limits and will not touch or take things without permission. They will also hide behind the door when playing hide-and-seek.

During this Lantern Festival, Gu Ning brought four children out to have fun on the streets, and Shui Mutian stood by to guard them.

Everyone chose their favorite lanterns to carry. Gu Ning picked a traditional big red lantern, the two girls Gu Jing and Jiang Xue picked lotus-shaped lanterns, Gu Lin picked a dragon, and Jiang Bin picked a tiger.

Shui Mutian picked a panda-shaped lantern.

The four children walked in front, while Gu Ning and Shui Mutian followed behind.

Gu Jing saw someone selling beef skewers and ran over to buy five skewers, one for each person.

Jiang Xue saw the man selling stinky tofu and gave everyone a bowl.

Gu Lin pinched his nose and said, "Jiang Xue, take it away. I don't want to eat this. It stinks."

Jiang Xue turned around and poured all of Gu Lin's stinky tofu into her own bowl, "You don't know how to eat something this delicious? You don't know how to enjoy it!"

When Jiang Bin saw a new Ultraman, he couldn't walk anymore. He ran over screaming and bargained with the boss.

Gu Lin also went over to bargain together, and managed to reduce the price of fifty yuan to ten yuan, and even asked the boss to give him a mini Ultraman as a gift.

The boss's head was buzzing with annoyance from the two little brats, so he sold it to Jiang Bin for one dollar more than the cost price.

Gu Lin turned around and saw a hero-shaped puppet on the street stall, with shining eyes.

"Boss, how do you sell this?"

The boss was about to name the price, but when he saw Gu Lin looking at him eagerly, he dropped the export price from thirty yuan to six yuan.

"I bought it for five dollars and sold it to you for six dollars. I only make enough for my travel expenses. It's up to you whether you want to buy it or not. I don't want to bargain with you anymore. It will delay my business."

This time, the two of them paid readily.

Gu Ning stood not far away and watched the whole process without interfering, allowing them to perform on their own.

Shui Mutian nudged Gu Ning with his elbow and said, "You have a great brother. He's a great bargainer. Next time I go shopping, I'll take him with me. I can save a lot of money."

"As long as he wants to!"

Gu Ning’s main approach is to let things run freely. She will not interfere with anything that Gu Jing and Gu Lin can handle. She will only step in to give hints when there are problems that they cannot solve, and they are the ones who have to take action.

The five people ate and watched along the way.

During the Lantern Festival, the lights are turned on and the lanterns all over the city are shining like stars.

Some of these lantern cars are shaped like ancient palace lanterns, solemn and elegant; some are like paper lanterns in children's hands, colorful and full of childlike fun.

There are various patterns painted on the car lights, such as auspicious dragons and phoenixes, or flowers and the full moon, which symbolize good luck and happiness.

As the wheels rolled, the lanterns swayed gracefully and glowed with brilliance, as if containing the entire festive joy of the festival.

Four children were arguing about which float was more beautiful and expressing their opinions.

Shui Mutian stood aside and whispered to Gu Ning, "Happy Lantern Festival!"

"Happy Lantern Festival!"

On the way home, the four children were so excited that they jumped as they walked.

Passing by a half-built building, Gu Ning pulled Gu Jing and said, "Don't walk over there, be careful of the bricks falling down."

As soon as Gu Ning finished speaking, a block of blue bricks fell from the wall.
