Confession of Rebirth

It is already the end of the year, and the streets and alleys are decorated with lights and festive music, which is full of New Year flavor.

Gu Chen and Zhong Li then followed the surging crowd into the shopping mall, and went straight to the middle-aged and elderly area with a particularly clear goal.

Clothes, shoes, down jackets, thermal underwear, supplements, massage chairs, foot tubs...

Zhong Lisui watched Gu Chen compare the list of New Year's goods listed on his phone, and at the same time took out the attitude of a buyer to scan the goods to buy, and couldn't help asking curiously: "How many people are there in your family?"

"In addition to my parents, grandparents, grandparents, there are two uncles, two aunts, three uncles and four aunts, plus their children, there are about twenty people!"

Zhong Li smiled and said, "The branches are lush. It must be very lively during the Chinese New Year."

"It's very lively."

Counting before his rebirth, Gu Chen hadn't visited his family village for the New Year for more than ten years.In my previous life, I felt that there was nothing to go back to the backcountry.Thinking about it now, celebrating the New Year in my hometown is more enjoyable than in City A.

"Our village is not as strict as city A, and no one cares about setting off flowers and fireworks during the Chinese New Year. From the morning of the first day of the new year, the children in the village started fighting guerrillas, going door-to-door to make stoves following the smell of meat. Everyone, every family has to bring out melon seeds, peanuts, candies and fruits as treats."

"Because my mother is a teacher in our village primary school, every year during the Chinese New Year, our family has the most children. Of course, when I go to another house, the toffee and fruit they give me are also the best." Gu Chen said, I felt a little emotional: "Today is the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, my dad must be killing pigs at home. Have you ever had a pig slaughtering feast?"

Zhong Li then shook his head.

Gu Chen said: "Don't think that this set of dishes looks bad, but it's actually very delicious and fragrant."

"There are also firewood stewed chicken and stewed fathead fish. When stewing, corn tortillas will be pasted next to the iron pot. When the vegetables are stewed, the corn tortillas are also fried. The part of the pot stickers is hard, and it is especially delicious when you bite into it."

As Gu Chen talked, his saliva almost stayed.He actually likes to eat his hometown food.However, after Gu Xiu recognized his ancestors in his previous life, the Ling family despised these dishes as too vulgar, thinking that the Gu family were all old farmers with their faces turned to the loess and their backs turned to the sky, and they could not stand on the stage, so they forced Gu Xiu to change his eating habits.

At that time, in order to curry favor with the Ling family, Gu Chen was mainly young and energetic, and couldn't stand the ridicule and contempt of those rich kids, so he changed his eating habits accordingly.In private, I invited an etiquette teacher to secretly learn the dining etiquette of Chinese and Western food.After being discovered by the Ling family, they laughed again.

In short, it is wrong to do anything, to do everything with ulterior motives, and to do everything for the sake of wealth and vanity.

In his previous life, Gu Chen didn't understand this kind of treatment. He spent half his life on the edge of his horns, and finally attributed these treatment to the original sin of identity.After being reborn, Gu Chen suddenly became enlightened.I understand that sometimes, some rotten people don't know how to respect others.

Zhong Lisui looked at Gu Chen's inexplicable sigh, and smiled warmly: "It sounds very good. If I have the chance, I must try it."

Gu Chen smiled: "It must be in winter, and you can't eat firewood stew in summer. It's too hot."

Zhong Li then looked into Gu Chen's eyes and said with a smile: "Then we might as well make an agreement. Next winter vacation, you invite me to your hometown for a few days, treat me to a real pig-killing feast, There is firewood to stew."

Gu Chen was watched by Zhong Lisui, and his heart skipped a beat for no reason.He looked away uncomfortably, then looked back: "Okay."

Zhong Li hooked the corner of his mouth and changed the subject: "Then it's settled. By the way, do you still want to buy some toys for your cousins, nephews, nieces and nephews?"

Gu Chen answered immediately: "How can it be possible to buy toys for them. I will be scolded by the elders at home."

Gu Chen smiled very badly: "After shopping in the mall later, let's go to the bookstore and pick up some sets of tutorial books and exercise books."

Zhong Lisui looked at Gu Chen's appearance of taking bad water, and then hooked the corners of his mouth in a happy mood.

Gu Chen spent the whole morning choosing gifts for his relatives and friends.Then I ordered a courier package directly at the mall and mailed it back to my hometown.

After finishing this work, it was almost twelve o'clock at noon.Both are a little hungry.Gu Chen asked Zhong Lisui: "What do you want to eat?"

Zhong Lisui said, "Hamburger and fried chicken."

"No way! I promised to treat you to lunch." Gu Chen frowned: "I know there is a good barbecue nearby. How about eating barbecue?"

Zhong Li then showed Gu Chen the time: "Your plane is at 02:30 in the afternoon. If you want to eat barbecue, can you catch the plane?"

Gu Chen: "..."

Zhong Li smiled and said, "I'll treat you to the barbecue when you come back. Just eat something today."

Gu Chen looked a little embarrassed.He was so busy shopping that he didn't pay attention to the time.

Seeing this, Zhong Li said with a smile, "I haven't eaten a hamburger for a long time. It's just to satisfy my hunger. Let me recall my student life by the way."

Gu Chen said, "Then I'll go to line up."

Zhong Lisui said: "There are too many people, let's order takeaway."

Gu Chen: "..."

A few minutes later, Gu Chen took the packaged hamburger and fries from the courier brother, and sat back in the car with a speechless expression.Zhong Li then ate a hamburger and drove Gu Chen to the airport.

Gu Chen looked at Zhong Lisui's expression while holding the hamburger and fried chicken, and asked guiltily, "Are you full?"

Zhong Lisui said very reservedly: "It's okay."

That is not full.

Gu Chen thought for a while: "How about I drive?"

Zhong Li smiled lightly: "You don't have a driver's license."

Gu Chen: "..."

"If you're so sorry," Zhong Li glanced at Gu Chen, calmly: "Feed me."

Gu Chen: "..."

Gu Chen: "Huh?"

Zhong Li smiled and said, "You're kidding. It violates the traffic law."

Of course Gu Chen knew that eating and feeding were not allowed while driving.He just felt embarrassed - he shouldn't have gone to buy fast food just now.

"Hurry up and eat." Zhong Li then looked at Gu Chen who was still holding the family bucket and bowed his head in silence: "After I send you to the airport, you can eat whatever you want. You have no chance to eat when you get on the plane."

"Aren't you hungry too? Eat quickly."

"Buy it and don't eat it, it will be cold in a while."

Under Zhong Lisui's urging, Gu Chen started to eat silently.The aroma of the fried food in the compartment was particularly strong, and Gu Chen mechanically ate the hamburger and fried chicken, but he felt the taste was chewy.

It's so embarrassing.

An hour later, Zhong Li then drove the car to the airport.Hurry up and send Gu Chen to the plane.Back in the car, I looked at the family bucket that was forgotten on the passenger seat.He couldn't help but think of Gu Chen's listless look when he was eating.

Zhong Li then smiled.He took out a wet towel and wiped his hands, picked up a French fries that had completely cooled down and put it in his mouth——

"It's delicious!"

On the other side, Gu Chen got on the plane and found a seat to sit down, and immediately took out his mobile phone to send a message to Zhong Lisui: [I'm getting on the plane. 】

A few seconds later, the phone buzzed, and Zhong Li replied: [Happy New Year.safe journey. 】

Gu Chen wanted to say something again, the flight crew had already reminded all passengers to turn off their mobile phone communication devices.Gu Chen had no choice but to hastily replied [Drive carefully], and then turned off the phone.

Zhong Lisui looked at [Driving carefully] quietly lying on WeChat, and twitched the corners of his mouth.

Two hours later, the plane arrived at Syracuse Airport on time.

The first time Gu Chen got off the plane, he turned on his phone and clicked on WeChat.At the first glance, I saw Zhongli Suifa's photo of a large table of food, and there was a sentence [a big meal for one person] below.

Gu Chen smiled, saved the photo, and immediately replied 【I'm in Snow City. 】

Two minutes passed, and Zhong Li did not reply to the message.Gu Chen guessed that Zhong Lisui must be busy with something.He put the phone back in his pocket.

Just two steps away, I heard the phone ringing in my pocket.Gu Chen took out his mobile phone, didn't look at the caller ID, and directly connected the phone: "I just got off the plane——"

"Brother Gu!" A loud voice came from the phone: "I know you just got off the plane. You went back to your home village from the airport, right? I asked the salesman from our sales department to pick you up. Did you see him? ?”

Gu Chen immediately reacted: "Boss Yao?"

"Ang!" Mr. Yao responded, and laughed, "I asked our company's salesman to pick you up at the airport. I also prepared some New Year's goods for your father's hall. A little heart. Happy New Year!"

Gu Chen's emotions slowly settled down.He smiled and said, "It's too much trouble for Mr. Yao."

"Why are you so polite! Thanks to my brother, our factory's diapers are going to be sold like crazy this year."

Previously, in order to hold an essay competition, Gu Chen sent a message in his circle of friends to spread the net to solicit sponsorship.Mr. Yao also saw it.At that time, I wanted to make friends with Gu Chen, and sponsored 20 yuan.Plus 2 yuan for diapers and 2 yuan for a lottery ticket for sanitary napkins.Unexpectedly, the essay competition held by Gu Chen became popular, and even the diaper brand of Mr. Yao's family became popular all over the Internet.The ones under the new year are almost sold out.

Mr. Yao had no intention of doing it, earning a lot of money, smiling from ear to ear.Knowing that Gu Chen is going back to his hometown for the New Year, he has to express his heart in everything he says.He specifically ordered the person in charge of the Syracuse business department to send a car to the airport to pick him up, and bought a lot of New Year's goods.

Gu Chen naturally understood this kind of intention.After exchanging pleasantries with Mr. Yao, Gu Chen hung up the phone, and saw the salesman whom Mr. Yao said was standing in the lobby holding a pick-up sign.

Gu Chen walked up with the suitcase: "Hi, I'm Gu Chen."

"Hello! Hello!" Yang Fan looked at the gentle and handsome college student in front of him, and said with a smile, "I was sent by Mr. Yao to pick you up. My name is Yang Fan."

"Brother Yang." Gu Chen greeted him.Yang Fan conveniently took the suitcase in Gu Chen's hand: "I'll do it."

Gu Chen smiled and said, "I can do it myself."

Yang Fan smiled and said, "Get in the car. Gu's Village is quite far away. It takes two or three hours to drive there. It's not easy to walk when it's dark."

Gu Chen smiled: "Brother Yang, please."

"No trouble. The task assigned by the leader!" Yang Fan said, then asked Gu Chen: "Are you hungry? How about we eat something first?"

"I ate before I got on the plane."

"Then let's go." Yang Fan took Gu Chen into the car, took a box of snacks from the back seat and handed it to Gu Chen: "If you're hungry, just fill it up."

Gu Chen thanked warmly.

Yang Fan said: "You're welcome. This is what we should do. You don't know how well our diapers are selling in your essay competition. My year-end bonus has been doubled."

Gu Chen smiled and said nothing.

Yang Fan chattered while driving.It was dark and the road was far away, and the road was very slippery, so it was really not easy to walk.When Yang Fan sent Gu Chen back to Lujia Village, it was already 07:30 in the evening and almost eight o'clock.It was completely dark.

Gu Chen looked at the brightly lit Gujia Village in the night, and suddenly his heart trembled.

There is an inexplicable feeling of being close to the hometown.
