Confession of Rebirth

"It's so early in the morning, what's the trouble?" Gu's aunt stood outside the door, watching Gu Xiu and Gu's mother chattering, she couldn't help asking.

"Xiu Xiu is going to run away from home." Gu's mother looked at the Gu family outside the door: "Hurry up and persuade me."

The aunt of the Gu family was taken aback when she heard the words, and subconsciously asked, "Why?"

Mother Gu said, "I said a few words to him."

"Yo, this is because the wings have grown hard. When a mother doesn't like to listen to a few words, she has learned to run away from home." The second aunt of the Gu family laughed again and again while eating melon seeds: "Sister-in-law, don't stop him. You let me He left. It’s Chinese New Year’s Eve today, and the buses in the city are closed. I see where he can go? From the end of the kang to the end of the kang, or from the beginning of the village to the end of the village.”

"It's just making trouble! If something goes wrong, you cry, make trouble and hang yourself. I don't know who I learned from!" The aunt of the Gu family took a look at Gu Xiu, and said with disgust: "I said nephew, you have a bad personality. .Your mother said, what can you do with a few words. A big man, crying when something happens, is not as good as a good old woman."

"Anyway, our old Gu family didn't have this kind of thing." The second aunt of the Gu family shook her head, and suddenly remembered something: "Where's Shen Chen? Why didn't I see Shen Chen?"

Mother Gu was taken aback, and said, "It should still be in the study."

"There is no study." Gu's cousin said, "I took a special look when I went upstairs, and there is no one in the study."

"My brother has gone back to the house." Gu's cousin said: "I wanted to play games with my brother, and my brother is reading a book!"

The aunt of the Gu family frowned: "Are you still studying on New Year's Eve?"

The cousin of the Gu family said: "My brother said it was the homework the professor left for him."

When Gu's cousin said this, he paused.He still couldn't hold back, and said gesticulating: "Lao Gao has a stack of books, there must be about ten books. The books are so thick, I feel dizzy when I look at them."

The second aunt of the Gu family slapped her son on the back of the head: "If you let you read books, you will feel dizzy. You will know how to play all day long. You will be in the second year of high school next year. I see what university you can get into by then."

The cousin of the Gu family covered his head, speechless: "It's not the Chinese New Year you said, let me relax!"

"If I tell you to relax, you just relax? You are a young man, why are you so uninitiated! In the future, you will also be an ear-splitting guy who forgets his mother after marrying a daughter-in-law!"

The cousin of the Gu family has nothing to love in life.The younger generations of the Gu family lowered their heads and held back their laughter.The aunt of the Gu family glanced at her daughter and said, "Go and cut some fruit for your brother and send it to the house."

Gu's cousin nodded: "Mom, I want to eat durian."

The New Year's goods sent by Yang Fan yesterday, besides clothes and toys, there are also a few boxes of uncommon tropical fruits.Aunt Gu frowned: "That thing stinks!"

Gu's cousin acted like a baby: "I want to eat!"

Gu's aunt glanced at Gu's mother.Mother Gu immediately said: "Eat what you want. Don't keep those fruits for too long, or they will go bad. You can take whatever you want. I remember there is still a box of mangoes and mangosteens. You all take them out and eat them."

Aunt Gu's family said, "Don't bring durians into the house. I can't stand the smell. Whoever wants to eat it should hide in the kitchen!"

When the younger generations of the Gu family heard this, they cheered and ran downstairs in a swarm.

The aunt of the Gu family glanced at the aggrieved Gu Xiu who was sitting next to the suitcase, and said to Gu's mother, "Sister-in-law, what did you say, you can cry for him."

Gu's mother was full of hesitation.

The aunt of the Gu family understood it at a glance: "It's the villain who filed the complaint first, right? I think this kid just let you get used to him. He just deserves a beating."

Mother Gu didn't speak.

The aunt of the Gu family said to Gu Xiu: "You hold back for the new year. There is no need for you to mourn for the family reunion. You can stay in this family as long as you can, and no one will stop you if you can't. The Gu family supports you In 18 years, your parents didn't expect you to be able to retire to the end of the year. If you feel that your wings are hardened, you can earn money to support yourself, and you don't need to take care of your family. Don't let this be a monster. If you don't want to celebrate the New Year, we still think about it!"

After the aunt of the Gu family finished speaking, she stopped talking to Gu Xiu.Said to Mama Gu: "Sister-in-law, you are the elder sister-in-law. I only tell you some things. There are old people at home! Our parents are over 70 this year, and every year will be less than one year. It depends on the face of a junior! You let him do it lightly. Don't force me to slap him."

The second aunt of the Gu family also echoed: "That's right. Sister-in-law, you can't keep spoiling him. Just look at the folks from the village who came to deliver food yesterday, and he did that. What are you doing for the Chinese New Year! Who can bear it! You He's still a people's teacher! The child is taught by this tutor, so it's not embarrassing to say it!"

"An uneducated person can't do this job! You're still a college student!" The aunt of the Gu family curled her lips disapprovingly: "I think the more you learn, the more you can maneuver."

Mother Gu remained silent.

The aunt of the Gu family said again: "If you have this time to coax him, why not care more about Shen Shen. That is the eldest grandson of our old Gu family, your own son. It is the flesh that fell from your own body. "

"Isn't there a saying that mutton will never stick to a dog's belly. Don't get into trouble with your own son just because you picked it up outside."

Some things are not easy to say too much.Aunt Gu's family can only order so much.

Gu Chen studied in his room all morning.At about 12:30 noon, the cousin of the Gu family knocked on the door and asked Gu Chen to go downstairs for lunch.

Gu Chen put down his pen, turned his neck, and stretched himself.Considering that I would continue to endorse in the afternoon, I didn't bother to clean up, so I got up and left.When he went out, he locked the door behind him.

As soon as I went downstairs, I heard a burst of cheers.It turned out that the New Year's goods bought by Gu Chen had arrived home.

A truck was full, and because Gu Chen paid the expedited fee, the courier specially delivered it to his home.The old and young men of the Gu family stood behind the car unloading the goods, and the folks from the Gu family village also rushed over to join in the fun.

The aunt of the Gu family took Gu Chen's arm and said, "You bought too much! Didn't you move all the shopping malls home?"

"How much does it cost!"

It can cost around [-] yuan!

Gu Chen smiled: "A little heart. Don't care about money."

"Is this a little thought? I think your heart can accommodate Gujiacun!" The second uncle of the Gu family wiped the sweat from his brow, panting: "Nephew, uncle asked you something, you How much money did you earn outside these few months?"

Gu Chen just called his family in the first month of college to say that he had found a part-time job and that he would not need to send him living expenses from his family in the future.Everyone in the village knows about this.At that time, I also felt that the children of the Gu family were sensible and filial, knew how to love their parents, and were capable, and they could make money just after college.

But no one knew how much money Gu Chen had earned.Looking at the big cart of New Year's goods in front of me, I was dumbfounded.

"It costs tens of thousands!" A villager couldn't help but estimate, "What is that big black screen?"

"LCD TV." Gu Chen said, "Leave it on for now. After the new year is over, find a master to install it."

When the villagers heard this, they gasped, and some who knew the price said, "I heard that this LCD TV costs more than 1 yuan!"

"What's that big sofa for?"

"Massage chairs. Grandparents and grandparents have one family. When you are old, you can massage every day to relax your muscles and bones."

There is also a jacuzzi that is one for each family.Most of the elders of Gu's parents are farmers, facing the loess and back to the sky. Only those who have actually farmed the land can know the hard work.Gu Chen considered that the elders in his family were all affordable people, if he really bought some brand-name goods, firstly, he would have no occasion to wear them, and secondly, he would probably be reluctant to wear them, so he would not buy those "unaffordable" things.A family has a bathtub, female elders each have a gold necklace, male elders each have a set of clothes and a pair of shoes, younger siblings are clothes, shoes, hats, toys and guidance books.I went to the supermarket to buy a lot of seafood that I don’t often eat at home, such as lobster and abalone.

It can be said that this New Year's gift is the most "vulgar" New Year's gift that Gu Chen has spent in two lifetimes, spent the least amount of money, bought the most variety, and the most "vulgar" style.

But Gu Chen prepared with special care, and now looking at the people who received the gifts, they all received them very happily.

Seeing everyone's happy looks, Gu Chen also smiled.He hadn't been this happy in a long time.In the past, I tried my best to prepare gifts for others, but what I got in return was ridicule besides being picky.

Sure enough, when it comes to gift giving, if the recipient is happy, the gift giver will feel more fulfilled.

It took the Gu family more than half an hour just to move the courier, so that when everyone returned to the house, the food was completely cold.Gu's mother and the Gu family's aunt went to heat up the dishes again. Gu's father left the driver behind and asked the master to finish his lunch before leaving.

While eating, the aunt of the Gu family remembered something and asked her daughter to go upstairs to pass a message: "Go and ask your brother Xiuxiu. Isn't he going to run away from home? There is a car now, and if he wants to leave, he will follow the master." Let's go together. Come down to eat if you don't go."

"Hey!" The cousin of the Gu family put down the bowl and chopsticks, and responded happily.Get up and run upstairs.

The cousin of the Gu family also hurriedly put down his chopsticks, stood up and said, "I'll go too."

"What are you doing!" The second aunt of the Gu family glared at her son.I wonder if this kid is a tiger, and I want to join in all the excitement.

A few minutes later, the cousin of the Gu family ran downstairs and said loudly: "Brother Xiuxiu said he was uncomfortable. He won't come down for dinner."

That's a confession!

The aunt of the Gu family pouted, and didn't bother to argue with the younger generation: "Let's eat."

After eating, Gu Chen wanted to go out for a walk and digest the food by the way.Papa Gu took a pack of cigarettes, stood up and said, "Let's go out together."

The father and son left the house one after the other.It snowed heavily last night and it didn't stop until this morning.The snow was up to the ankles.Gu's father kicked deep and shallow, and muttered in his mouth: "It should be clear."

Gu Chen didn't speak.

Papa Gu glanced at Gu Chen, and said, "You said you managed to earn some money, why don't you keep it for yourself. Buy so many things for the family."

Gu Chen said: "Just buy this one for Chinese New Year, usually there are not many opportunities to honor you."

Papa Gu said "Hi": "How old are you, the days of being filial to your parents are yet to come! Your mother and I can walk and move, and we can also make money. It doesn't add pressure to you. Just study hard."

Gu Chen remained silent.

Papa Gu thought for a while, and then said, "Don't blame your mother for Xiuxiu's matter. The palms and backs of your hands are full of meat. If you think about it this way, even if you have a dog, you still have feelings after 18 years! What's more, it's a dog. Live people."

"You can do what you want, your mother's side, and me!" After a pause, Gu's father added: "Actually, even if it's your mother, at the critical moment, she must be facing you."

Papa Gu said, wanting to smoke a cigarette.When I fumbled in my pocket, I realized that I came out in a hurry and forgot to take the lighter.Papa Gu put the cigarette dangling from his mouth back into the cigarette case.Sighing: "I think, you and Xiu Xiu have changed a lot in the past few months."

Gu Chen understood what Papa Gu was talking about.He was reborn once, counting the ten years in his previous life, he is also an old man who is nearly 30 years old.There was no success or failure in the career, and even the backbone was smashed and glued again.There is no way to compare with the high-spirited high-spirited student who was admitted to University A by his own ability.

He has long passed the age at which he can be proud of his exam results, but in the eyes of Papa Gu, his son is still the number one scholar who walked out of the mountain nest.

As for Gu Xiu——

To be honest, the current Gu Xiu is not the same as the well-behaved Gu Xiu who was liked by everyone in Gu Chen's memory.In the previous life, Gu Xiu was smooth and smooth, and he was always gentle and gentle when speaking and doing things. Gu Chen never saw him lose his temper until his death.

But in this life, I don't know whether it's because I have experienced too many unpleasant things, or if I have exposed my true nature. Gu Chen always feels that Gu Xiu's character is sharper and meaner than in his previous life.His temper is also getting worse.

At least threatening people by running away from home, Gu Xiu in her previous life probably couldn't do it.

Seeing that Gu Chen didn't speak, Gu's father thought that Gu Chen was concerned about Gu's mother's attitude towards Gu Xiu, so he didn't ask any more questions.As the two walked, they bumped into a fellow villager who came out and rushed out the door.The folks stopped immediately when they saw Father Gu and his son.Stuck in the middle of the road, he pulled Papa Gu and started chatting.Sentence after sentence, they kept praising Gu Chen for being promising, making money, and being filial.Buy so many things for home.

"Come, Shen Chen, eat melon seeds and peanuts." The villager took out a handful of melon seeds and peanuts from his pocket and handed them to Gu Chen, as well as a piece of nougat: "This is made by your second aunt. If you like it, I will let you eat it later." Girl, send some to your family."

Gu Chen thanked with a smile.In fact, he no longer knew who the fellow in front of him was.Whether ten years is long or short, it is enough to make people forget many things.

Papa Gu continued to chat with the folks.Gu Chen stood by, waiting patiently.In his previous life, he hated chatting on the street.Because the Ling family said that only low-level people with nothing to do would stand and chat on the street, because their time is cheap enough.And truly successful people will devote every minute and every second to their careers.

In his previous life, Gu Chen didn't think there was anything wrong with such words, and he really felt inferior and ashamed.Until he witnessed with his own eyes how Ling Fei tried his best to meet important members of the western faction by chance on various occasions.Only then did Gu Chen realize that what is done on what occasion is not important, what is important is who is doing it.

"Shen Chen? Shen Chen?"

Gu Chen was just thinking about it, when he heard someone calling him.When Gu Chen came back to his senses, he saw Papa Gu looking at him, and the villager who had just chatted with Papa Gu had gone away.

"What are you thinking, so engrossed?" Papa Gu asked.

"I didn't think about anything." Gu Chen handed the melon seeds and peanuts in his hand to Papa Gu, and kept the piece of nougat for himself: "Let's go ahead."

"Going forward is the village elementary school." Papa Gu sighed when he said this: "This year's snow is so heavy, and when the snow melts in spring, the road will be muddy again."

Listening to Papa Gu's words, Gu Chen thought back to when he was in elementary school, the road was full of puddles on sunny days, dusty, dusty and rainy days, and it was almost never clean.

"Why don't you build roads!" Gu Chen asked casually.

"Who will repair it? It costs at least a dozen or 20 yuan to repair this road. If the township government doesn't approve the money, who can repair it?" Papa Gu said, "Do you think our village doesn't want to repair it? Your principal submits applications every year , it has not been approved."

"Then I'll fix it." Gu Chen said, "It's 20, I'll get it."

Gu's father looked at Gu Chen in shock, and blurted out, "You don't need to brag with your father, do you?"

Gu Chen: "..."

Papa Gu came back to his senses, only to realize that he accidentally swears in front of his son because of being overly shocked.Quickly corrected: "I mean, you don't need it! This is the road of the public, not our own. Besides, you are not a famous person, so you don't need to have such a reputation."

"It's not much money." Gu Chen originally said casually.Hearing Papa Gu's words, his heart suddenly moved, and he said thoughtfully: "It's time to accumulate merit."

"You said this road, if I use money to repair it, can it be called Gu Chen Road?"

Papa Gu looked at Gu Chen with a complicated expression.I didn't expect that my son would still have this hobby.

When Gu Chen saw Papa Gu's face, he knew that Papa Gu had misunderstood.But he didn't bother to explain: "Let's go to the village chief's house."

"Wait a minute!" Papa Gu stopped Gu Chen, and asked very seriously: "Tell me honestly, how much money did you earn outside?"

The key is that no matter how much money you earn, it's not enough to make such a disaster!

"Your mother and I can move around. The family doesn't expect you to make money for the time being. You keep the money you earn for yourself. Your mother and I don't worry about it either." Papa Gu thought for a while, and said: "But the situation in the village is different. Same. If you spend more than 20 to [-] yuan to build roads for no reason, they will guess that you made a lot of money outside. Are you not afraid that they will come to you for anything in the future?"

"If you really do something practical, it's not impossible for me to pay some money." Gu Chen said lightly: "Dad, don't worry, I'm not being taken advantage of. I won't pay all the money."
