The Cultivation of Rebirth

Winter vacation is actually very short.

Li Rui felt that he hadn't gone to tutoring a few times, and he hadn't had a few phone calls with Gu Huaidong, and it was almost the time of Chinese New Year.

When Gu Huaidong and Lin Xin were away, Peng Zhen often came to play with him.

In fact, it is also taking care of yourself in disguise.

But at the age of 28, Peng Zhen also returned to his hometown.

Li Rui was really alone.

Li Rui spent a day cleaning the small apartment inside and out, and then felt that there was nothing to do.

When I'm alone, time always passes very slowly, and I don't want to do many things.

On the day at the end of the year, Li Rui rarely slept until noon before getting up.

He cooked a bowl of noodles for himself, put in two eggs, and then swept the room and bedroom floor again

After cleaning, I started to wash my hair, take a shower and wash my clothes.

This is a custom in their hometown, expressing the beautiful vision of keeping the old and welcoming the new.

When Li Rui did all this, he deliberately did it very slowly, and when he finished drying his clothes, it was time to prepare dinner.

As for the dinner on New Year's Eve, Li Rui had no desire to join forces at all.

A reunion dinner is when the whole family gathers to eat together.

What can he do by himself.

Concerned that it was New Year's Eve after all, Li Rui cooked himself a pack of quick-frozen dumplings and a fish.

The dumplings were bought when Gu Huaidong was around, and the fish was delivered by Peng Zhen before he left.

Li Rui purposely kept it in the kitchen and kept it for today.

It is a good sign to have more than every year.

After dinner, Li Rui packed up the dishes and sat on the sofa in the living room while watching the news broadcast and waiting for the Spring Festival Gala.

Anyway, there is nothing else to watch, so I just pass the time.

Li Rui didn't bother to turn on the lights, so the living room only had the TV screen on and off.

The Gu family's old house, thousands of miles away, is now brightly lit.

The Gu family's old house has been extremely lively since the early morning.

Gu Huaidong worked with his elders for a whole day, and he didn't drink a few sips of water.

There were quite a few people who paid New Year's greetings to Papa Gu, and even more people who paid New Year's greetings to Mr. Gu.

While greeting every uncle and aunt coming and going, Gu Huaidong never forgot to pay attention to the movement of the mobile phone in his pocket.

He asked Li Rui to call him, but his phone never rang.

Gu Huaidong also wanted to call Li Rui, but now that there are many guests at home, he has to help greet him, so it would be unwise to call Li Rui by himself.

He was still counting on Li Rui to call to save him.

Gu Huaidong's expectant phone call didn't ring until night.

Gu Huaidong felt a little uncomfortable.

The New Year's Eve dinner in the Gu family's old house was very sumptuous, but Gu Huaidong felt the same.

After dinner, the whole family gathered in the living room to connect with each other.

Gu Huaidong was fidgeting, not at all in the mood to smile and chat with others.

The second uncle at the side purposely saw Gu Huaidong's unusual appearance, and couldn't help but make a joke: "Huaidong, do you think listening to us old guys is too boring?"

Gu Huaidong smiled copiously: "How can it be."

Elder Gu beside him also saw Gu Huaidong's absent-mindedness, and frowned.

The aunt beside him immediately said: "Dad, young people nowadays are not happy to stay at home for the New Year's Eve. I think Huaidong probably promised someone to go out to play at night."

After hearing this, Old Master Gu asked Gu Huaidong, "Is that what your aunt said?"

Gu Huaidong immediately nodded without hesitation: "Grandpa, Peng Zhen and the others invited me out to play at night."

After hearing this, Mr. Gu waved his hand: "Then go and play with him, I won't force you to stay here anymore." use.It doesn't have to be an eyesore.

After hearing this, Gu Huaidong couldn't help grinning: "Grandpa, do you really let me go?"

Mr. Gu was about to be laughed angrily by him: "Why, if you don't want to leave, why don't you just stay and listen to Grandpa?"

"Ahem, what, grandpa, there are so many people waiting to hear what you have to say today, so I won't burden you any more."

When Gu Huaidong's shameless words came out, everyone couldn't help laughing.

Old man Gu blew on his beard: "Get out, get out."

Gu Huaidong really rolled away with a smile on his face.

The first thing Gu Huaidong did after leaving the sight of everyone in the Gu family was to take out his phone.

Still no missed calls on the phone.

Not only no calls, not even half a text message.

Gu Huaidong immediately dialed the landline number in the apartment in City G.

The phone rang several times before being picked up.

When Gu Huaidong heard Li Rui's voice on the other end of the phone, he relaxed from the restlessness that had been going on since just now.

Gu Huaidong asked: "Li Rui, what are you doing now? Why did it take so long to answer the phone." He was very worried about Li Rui.

Li Rui rubbed his eyes, his voice sounded sleepy: "I just fell asleep."

Li Rui was lying on the sofa watching the Spring Festival Gala, but he fell asleep right after the Spring Festival Gala started.

If it wasn't for Gu Huaidong's call, Li Rui felt that he could sleep until the morning of the first day of the new year.

Gu Huaidong was a little surprised: "Why do you go to bed so early today?" It must be because being alone is too boring.

Gu Huaidong thought in a complicated mood.

When he was on the phone earlier, he hoped that Li Rui hadn't gone out to play, but now he would rather Li Rui had.

It's better than being alone.

"No, I just fell asleep while watching TV on the sofa." Li Rui quickly explained.

"If you're sleepy, go back to your room and go to sleep." Gu Huaidong said distressedly, "If you sleep on the sofa, you'll be fine if you catch a cold."

"I'm not sleepy anymore." Li Rui smiled, "Gu Huaidong, I still want to finish watching the Spring Festival Gala."

Li Rui asked Gu Huaidong: "Peng Zhen said that your family will be very busy during the Chinese New Year. Are you busy now?"

"It's good." Gu Huaidong didn't mention his early exit at all.

Then he asked Li Rui, "What have you been doing at home these two days?"

Li Rui replied: "Cleaning, watching TV, reading."

Hearing Li Rui's ups and downs, Gu Huaidong couldn't help laughing.

After that, without waiting for Li Rui to post, Gu Huaidong took the initiative to explain his itinerary for the past two days.

The two chatted for a while, and Li Rui said "Happy New Year" to Gu Huaidong.

He also included his own reason for sending blessings now: "There must be many people who will say this to you at twelve o'clock later. I missed the peak, so I told you first."

Gu Huaidong responded with a smile: "Okay. Rarity, you too, Happy New Year. I'm the first person to say "Happy New Year" to you, right?"

"No." Li Rui hit Gu Huaidong mercilessly.

"Who is that?" Gu Huaidong was puzzled.Could it be Lin Xin?

"The host of the Spring Festival Gala." Li Rui laughed softly.

Gu Huaidong never expected this answer, and said helplessly, "Okay."

Li Rui hesitated to talk to Gu Huaidong: "Then let's stop here first? I'll continue to watch the Spring Festival Gala."

Hearing how quiet Gu Huaidong was around, Li Rui thought that Gu Huaidong hid on purpose to call him.

He didn't want to delay Gu Huaidong's affairs.

Besides, Li Rui didn't feel lonely anymore, but when Gu Huaidong called, Li Rui felt that the apartment where he was alone was too spacious.

Gu Huaidong still had a lot to say to Li Rui.

But when he heard Li Rui's words, he silently swallowed back what he wanted to say.

Gu Huaidong paused for a moment, then replied, "Okay."

"Then... goodbye. I won't call you again at twelve o'clock." Li Rui said bravely.

"Yes." Gu Huaidong replied concisely.

Li Rui, who was still worried about Gu Huaidong's anger, was relieved when he heard Gu Huaidong's tone was the same as usual, but at the same time felt slightly lost.

"Li Rui, wait for me to go back."

Gu Huaidong said to Li Rui before hanging up the phone.

Li Rui smiled and replied: "I know. You have said it several times. After the Chinese New Year... come back early."
