Rebirth: Return to the 80s

The days slipped by slowly, and another year passed in the blink of an eye. The new home of Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu was completely renovated in autumn, and now it has become the most magnificent yard in Guanjiatun. Guan Yuan planted trees all around the yard. With flowers and plants, under the nourishment of Lingquan water, it is full of vitality even in winter.

Today is a special day, it is both Lidong and Guan Yuan's birthday, Zhao Shenggu was busy in the kitchen early in the morning, and his cooking skills have risen sharply under the influence of Guan Yuan.

Guan Yuan lay lazily on the kang, stretched under the quilt.

"Wake up." Zhao Shenggu walked in from the kitchen, afraid that Guan Yuan would be cold, so he warmed his hands before going to dress Guan Yuan: "Brother, I can dress myself."

This year's life has been free and easy, and Zhao Shenggu also showed his youthful nature: "Does Xiaoyuan dislike me?"

"Okay." Guan Yuan really couldn't stand his brother's acting like a baby, so he had no choice but to give up resisting.

After Zhao Shenggu put on Guan Yuan's clothes, he covered his eyes and walked to the table, "You can open it." Guan Yuan opened his eyes and saw that it was a small cake, round and round with white flour. Yes, with some flower petals sprinkled on top.

Zhao Shenggu was embarrassed: "This is the best one I have made." From the things of later generations collected in Guan Yuan's space, he learned that birthday cakes are eaten on birthdays. He quietly got up in the middle of the night to work, and made a few After a horrible failure, it was hard to get such a decent one.

Guan Yuan's eyes became moist in an instant: "It's already very good."

Zhao Shenggu cut a piece of the cake, Guan Yuan ate the cake into his mouth with tears in his eyes.After Guan Yuan finished eating the cake, Zhao Shenggu brought out another bowl of longevity noodles from the kitchen.

The two finished their food and decided to take a day off today.When Zhao Shenggu went to clean up in the kitchen, Guan Yuan lay on his back, with his face pressed against Zhao Shenggu's neck, the hot breath he exhaled made Zhao Shenggu feel itchy, and Zhao Shenggu's tone had an obvious smile: "Xiao Yuan has become a rascal."

Guan Yuan snorted: "I will rely on you, I will rely on you for the rest of my life"

Zhao Shenggu chuckled: "Okay, I'm willing to let Xiaoyuan rely on it." After tidying up, in a rare leisure, Zhao Shenggu lit the newly built hearth stove, and the two leaned together and talked affectionately.

At this time, Guan Shitou rushed in from the outside: "Boss, today we are going to show a movie in the village, do you want to watch it?" After having a meal at Guan Yuan's house at the beginning of the year, Guan Yuan's craftsmanship has been deeply impressed For a bite to eat, he yelled at Boss Guan Yuan very fluently.

The good atmosphere was ruined by Guan Shitou, Guan Yuan was full of anger: "What kind of movie, it's better to warm up at home."

Guan Shitou sniffed his nose: "That movie is really good. It's about fighting the Japanese devils. There are also cannons. You know what a cannon is. Just bang like that, and people will disappear." Guan Shitou imitated the buzzing The sound of cannon.

Guan Yuan rolled his eyes, why does this child look so stupid.

"Brother, do you want to see it?" Guan Yuan asked Zhao Shenggu.Zhao Shenggu wanted to go, after all, his grandfather also served in the army, so this can be regarded as a kind of nostalgia.

Seeing Zhao Shenggu nodding, Guan Yuan happily said, "Okay, let's go to the movies later." Then he asked Guan Shitou, "When will the movie be released?"

"I heard it's released when it gets dark. It's on our sun-drying field, and the nearby villages are all watching here." After finishing speaking, he said coyly, "Boss... um... can I get some more beef jerky?" Ah." Guan Yuan waved his hand generously: "Go to the kitchen and get it yourself." This is a new food they are going to launch, after all, a stewed pork is still too simple.

"Oh!" Guan Shitou cheered, went to the kitchen to get beef jerky, and ran out again when he heard children playing outside.

The person who was an eyesore left, Guan Yuan leaned against Zhao Shenggu's arms and talked to him again. "Brother, we've earned almost 1 yuan this year, it's time for us to set up a store."

Zhao Shenggu nodded, this matter has been settled a long time ago, and it is time to buy it now.

"After we have a store, we can find someone to sell. Anyway, the daily quantity is fixed, and we are not afraid of him being greedy for money. Then we can go to school, and I must sit with you." Guan Yuan snapped his fingers for the future make plans.

When it comes to going to school, Zhao Shenggu's eyes are also bright, "Yes, Xiaoyuan and I will be classmates in the future." Now there are many people in the countryside who have not studied, and it is not uncommon for Zhao Shenggu to go to elementary school at his age.

Thinking of the days of sitting and studying with Zhao Shenggu, Guan Yuan couldn't help but look yearning.Zhao Shenggu looked funny: "We are together every day, what are we looking forward to?"

"That's different, classmate?" Guan Yuan giggled.In fact, Guan Yuan doesn't like to laugh out loud at all, because when a child laughs, it sounds like a chicken crowing.But with Zhao Shenggu, he couldn't stop being happy, so Guan Yuan's giggles could often be heard in the yard.

The two of them had a simple lunch and then took a nap. It was dark in winter, and the sky darkened not long after waking up, and the village head's voice came from the horn in the village to inform everyone to watch a movie.

Zhao Shenggu dressed Guan Yuan tightly. The outside was the usual cotton padded clothes, but the inside was the thermal underwear taken out from the space, so it was very warm to wear.After the two tidied up, they took the bench and walked towards the grain drying field in the village.

When we arrived, the place was already buzzing with people, several people from the countryside sat together, it was more lively than New Year's Eve.Zhao Shenggu took Guan Yuan to occupy a favorable position, and the two sat and waited for the movie to start.

At this time, the movie is shown by a special showman, and a simple curtain pulls up another world.Watching all this, Guan Yuan suddenly felt like Zhuang Sheng was dreaming. He didn't know if it was a dream or reality.Close to Zhao Shenggu, the familiar body temperature smoothed out the panic in his heart, and his heart gradually calmed down.

With the screening of the movie, the grain drying yard that was noisy just now suddenly became quiet.When the protagonist died for the cause of revolution, there were sobs everywhere.

Guan Yuan secretly looked at Zhao Shenggu, and found that there were two lines of hot tears hanging on his cheeks.Guan Yuan wiped away his tears. These stories were true in those years, and there is no way to tell the truth.

After the movie ended, there were voices scolding the Japanese devils everywhere. Zhao Shenggu felt a little embarrassed because he shed tears in front of Guan Yuan.

Guan Yuan said seriously: "Brother, I don't want to see you who will always be strong. I hope you can let me know when you are weak. Let's face it together. Speaking of which, I am still older than you." The last sentence said briskly out.

Zhao Shenggu saw him say such old-fashioned words with a tender face, and burst out laughing: "Okay, I understand." Feeling Zhao Shenggu's perfunctory, Guan Yuan pouted unhappily, this action made him even more cute, So Zhao Shenggu laughed even louder.

Guan Yuan "..."

Early the next morning, Zhao Shenggu wanted Guan Yuan to rest at home, and he went to sell meat alone, but Guan Yuan didn't agree with anything: "I don't want it, I'll go wherever you go, why do you work hard alone, I'll be lazy by the side, or I'll go, or I won't go at all."

"You're talking stupid again, the meat is already marinated, why not go?"

"Then take me with you"

Zhao Shenggu had no choice but to take Guan Yuan away, dressed like a tumbler.

It is cold in winter, not many people come to buy braised pork early in the morning, and all the meat is sold out until noon.Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu walked to the stall selling meat, the middle-aged man knew Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu very well, and when he saw them, he just asked, "Old rules?" Seeing Zhao Shenggu nod, he quickly chopped the meat .

Coincidentally, Guan Manxing also came to buy meat at this time, and when he saw them, he called affectionately: "Shenggu, Xiaoyuan, you're buying meat again." Guan Yuan didn't like her and ignored her, so Zhao Shenggu nodded.

Seeing how perfunctory they were, Guan Manxing's displeasure flashed across his face, and then he wanted to touch Guan Yuan's cheek affectionately, but Zhao Shenggu stopped him calmly.

"Look at this kid, why are you guarding against me like a thief? I am your eldest aunt, can I still harm you?"

Guan Yuan said in his heart: "It is you who are defending."In a year, Guan Manxing saw this braised meat seller making money, and asked for the recipe openly and secretly. She even had the courage to lead the way, and she made some braised pork to sell, but the taste was not good, and nothing was sold. If you go out, you will lose all your money.From then on, she became more determined to ask Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu for a prescription, but Zhao Shenggu and Guan Yuan were too tight-lipped, so far she has not made any progress.

"Your meat." The uncle who sold the meat sorted it out and handed it to Zhao Shenggu. Zhao Shenggu said to Guan Manxing, "Auntie, let's go." He carried the meat on his back and led Guan Yuan away.

Guan Manxing looked at the backs of the two of them and fell backward angrily, stomping his feet resentfully.The uncle who sold the butcher sneered in his heart, having dealt with Zhao Shenggu and the others a lot, he naturally got to know them a little bit, and the woman in front of him seemed to be unable to see what was going on in her mind.

"what would you like?"

"I want this piece of fat meat," Guan Manxing pointed to the scraps on the chopping board.

The uncle who sold the butcher was even more disdainful, and cut off a piece of Guan Manxing with a knife. "Hey, it's too much," Guan Manxing said hurriedly, she lost money in business, and because the Guan family was gnawed by the village, she couldn't afford any money, so life is even more difficult now than before.

"What are you talking about!" The butcher's uncle glared at Tongling's big eyes. "You still think it's too much meat, so who am I to sell it to?"

Guan Manxing was helpless: "Then buy them all."

Of course, Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu didn't know about this scene.

When Guan Manxing came home, her brother-in-law was drinking and eating meat with Erlang's legs crossed. The meat was from Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu's booth.Guan Manxing looked furious: "Uncle, where did you get this meat?"

Sun Jian's family is fooling around: "I'll buy it"

"Where did you get the money?"

"Oh, money, I saw a pot under your bed, I dragged it out and saw, wow, there is 50 yuan in it!"

Guan Manxing felt dizzy: "You took them all?" "

Sun Jianjia nodded: "I'll take it all!"

Guan Manxing took a few steps back, "Uncle, that's the tuition fee for Zihao and Ziyu. You don't do anything all day, and you gave the money to Huo Huo. If Zihao and Ziyu can't go to school, I won't work hard with you." You won’t spend it all, take out the money!”

At this time, Guan Manxing's mother-in-law came out from the back room: "What are you talking about, tell me where you have so much money. Last time, your father-in-law was sick, and the whole family was so anxious that they almost hanged themselves. It's better for you to hide the money carefully." To be honest, seeing our family worry, you have lost your conscience, I said at the beginning that you shouldn't look for it in the countryside, look, you married a poisonous woman and went home."

"Grandma, that's the tuition I borrowed from my natal family for Ziyu and Zihao, it can't just disappear like this."

Guan Manxing's mother-in-law snorted: "How much Ziyu and Zihao's tuition can be used for? It's not that you, a poisonous woman, want to save it for private money. What do you want to do? Do you want to scrape our Sun's family clean and run away with wild men? Return your natal family, who doesn't know that your natal family is now out of the way, and still wants to lie to me"

Guan Manxing couldn't hold it back, and had a big quarrel with her mother-in-law. She went back to her room and cried under the blanket. Fang Zi's method.

Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu returned home and were busy with stewed meat, but Guan Manxing strengthened his determination to get their stewed meat recipe.

Guan Manxing went back to her natal home the next day, and Yang Xiucui was naturally happy to see her daughter back. It was meaty and floury, and the daughters-in-law who saw it just curled their lips.

In order to let Sun Zihao and Sun Ziyu have a tooth festival, Guan Manxing would take them with him every time he went back to his mother's house.After the meal was over and the children went out to play, Guan Manxing said to Yang Xiucui: "Mother, do you still have any money in your hand? My brother-in-law took the tuition fees for Zihao and Ziyu."

Yang Xiucui looked embarrassed: "There is no money at home. The people in the village took most of it last time. Now the money is in your father's hands, and I can't touch it."

Guan Manxing saw that she could not get any money from her mother, so she went to find Guan He.Guan He was sitting on the kang in the main room smoking a cigarette, Guan Manxing called him father with a smile on his face.

For this daughter, Guan He still loves her very much, so she responded happily. "Father, you see that Zihao and Ziyu are going to school soon, and the tuition fee has not yet been paid..."

Guan He's smiling face collapsed when he heard about the money, "Zihao and Ziyu are both surnamed Sun, they naturally go to Sun's family if they want to study, tell me what to do, none of your nephews and nieces go to school Besides, don't think that I didn't know that you took a lot of money from your mother all these years, so you didn't save it!"

Guan Manxing rolled out two lines of tears: "It's not like you don't know, last time I sold braised pork and lost all the money, and the rest of the money was taken away by Jianguo's brother and his mother. Now I really have money. Not a penny."

Guan He took a few puffs of cigarette: "Then you can't tell me, my own grandson hasn't even studied yet."

Guan Manxing cried even more sadly: "Then Zihao and Ziyu are also your grandchildren."

Guan He was unmoved: "It's useless, you should go back quickly, I don't have any money for you here"

Guan Manxing saw his father's hard-hearted appearance, so he had to change his strategy again: "Father, don't those two brats Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu have money?"

Guan He paused his smoking hand: "That money belongs to someone else, you can still get it out of his hand."

Guan Manxing said: "Father, we can imagine other ways, you see, if they can get their stewed meat recipe, it will be a lot of money."

Guan He sneered: "Why are you going to get the prescription? It's not like you don't know that brat Zhao Shenggu, he's very difficult to deal with."

"Father, we have to attack his weakness." Guan Manxing looked confident in winning.

"His weakness, what weakness does he have?" Guan He looked puzzled.

"Guan Yuan, he looks at Guan Yuan like an eyeball, as long as we hold Guan Yuan, we are afraid that the little bastard won't give us the prescription"

Guan He lost interest: "It's useless, they are not our Guan family."

Guan Manxing saw that his father still hadn't figured it out, so he said bluntly: "Let's hide Guan Yuan, and then ask Zhao Shenggu to hand over the prescription, he must give it."

Guan He was taken aback: "What do you want to do, this is against the law"

"Oh, Dad, why are you so confused? We are still relatives of Guan Yuan by blood. Then we will say that we want Guan Yuan. You always want to make out with your grandson, so you took it over. What else could go wrong? !"

Guan He was silent, and he took a few puffs of cigarettes.Said to Guan Manxing: "Go and call your younger brothers in."

After Guan Mancang and the others came in, the masters discussed in the room for a whole afternoon, and finally decided to do it.

It's getting dark, Guan Yuan is collecting quilts in the yard, Zhao Shenggu is cooking in the kitchen, Guan Mancang and the others quietly go to Zhao's yard to look around. They think they are doing it without anyone noticing, but Guan Yuan has already Hearing the movement, he stood up and squinted his eyes to look at the head protruding from the yard, and shouted, "Brother, there are thieves!" He ran to the yard with his stick in hand, Zhao Shenggu heard Guan Yuan's shout, Also ran out quickly.

It was Guan Manku who showed his head. Hearing Guan Yuan's shout, he panicked and stepped on the face of Guan Mancang who was carrying him. Guan Mancang screamed, and the two brothers fell down together. , and even hit the Guanman house on the ground to give them a lookout.

Zhao Shenggu opened the courtyard door and saw that Guan Mancang and his brothers were lying on the ground and yelling, Guan Yuan unceremoniously gave him a stick, and then shouted to catch the thief.

Soon a group of people arrived.Seeing that it was Guan Mancang and the brothers felt strange.

Guan Yuan said: "I was about to close the door, but I saw someone rummaging in by the courtyard wall. I didn't know it was them until I ran out."

Everyone saw that there was a big sack beside them, and there was a ladder beside the courtyard wall, "This is really heartbreaking, Shenggu has lived in your house for so long, Guan Yuan is still your relative, and he actually stole their It's coming up."

Guan Mancang quickly argued: "No, we just passed by"

"Just after what did you do to climb the courtyard wall, just after what did you do with the ladder on the courtyard wall, can you judge that we are all fools?" Zhao Shenggu exposed his lie in one sentence.

Guan Manku laughed along with him: "We just miss Xiao Yuan, let's come and see him"

The people around couldn't stand it, "Look at Xiaoyuan, you don't go in through the door openly, it's the first time I've seen someone go over the courtyard wall to watch people." The onlookers laughed loudly .A few bloody men couldn't stand the bad intentions of the Guan Mancang brothers: "It's really a rat droppings that ruined a pot of soup, and there are bums like you in our village." After finishing speaking, they kicked each other to relieve their anger.

Some enthusiastic people said: "Let's send them to the village head and let the village head criticize and criticize them."In these years, there is no awareness of reporting something happened in the village, and there is no actual evidence for it, not to mention that these people are still relatives of Guan Yuan in blood, and it will not be clear at that time.

Zhao Shenggu and Guan Yuan also agreed with this method, and the group turned around and walked towards the village head with the brothers Guan Mancang.

Guan He and Guan Manxing were waiting anxiously in the house for Guan Mancang and the brothers to bring Guan Yuan back. Unexpectedly, a horn sounded in the village. The village chief said through the horn that Guan Mancang and the bandits had been caught. Everyone went to "guidance and correction" to a few people.

When Guan He heard this, he staggered back a few steps, and stared at Guan Manxing angrily, "It's all your good idea." After speaking, he went back into the room, and he had no face to go out.

Guan Manxing stomped his feet, scolding Guan Mancang and the others in his heart as useless. He was afraid of being implicated, so he hurriedly took Sun Zihao and Sun Ziyu away.

Besides, under the "guidance" of the people in the village, Guan Mancang finally admitted that they were going to steal things, and they were not stupid. Stealing things and kidnapping people are two different concepts.

He was beaten severely before being released.Guan Mancang and his brothers held their swollen noses and swollen faces like rats crossing the street, and fled back to Guan's house in a hurry under the guidance of the villagers.

These few people completely hated Guan Manxing, and even complained about Guan He. After the daughters-in-law knew about it, they wished they could chew Guan Manxing up.

Li Yuezhi cried angrily: "It's all right now, we have a thief father, what will our children do in the future, how will they marry, how will they marry a wife! You are a pig brain, and you will do it as soon as people tell you to do it. Now that you have firmly established your reputation as thieves, you will pat your ass and leave..."

Guan Manku was upset by Li Yuezhi's crying, "I'm just like this, otherwise, what are you thinking, you think I'm stupid, you can find a better one."

When Li Yuezhi was locked up in the warehouse, she was so angry that she could only breathe heavily, and she cried even louder. The other rooms were also not peaceful, and the Guan family was crying and screaming all night, and it was very lively.

This incident did not affect Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu in the slightest, they were still selling their own stewed meat and looking for a store by the way.Mr. Li and Mr. Zhao also became regular customers of Zhao's family for the sake of eating.

The two of them brought Xiao Zhang here for a stroll that day. Mr. Li looked at the flowers and plants that were invincible in the winter all over the yard.

Guan Yuan thought that Mr. Li and Mr. Zhao would ask about these flowers and plants, but he didn't expect that they were much more calm than he thought, and they were just surprised.

Winter is the best time to eat pot. Guan Yuan and the others specially made a hot pot.Holding the chopsticks, Mr. Li wished he could pick up the raw ones and eat them directly into his mouth.
