The Cultivation of Rebirth

Dawn comes early in summer.

At dawn, Li Rui woke up.

It took him 5 minutes to wash up, then went to the kitchen to cook a pot of porridge, drank a bowl for himself, put the rest of the pot in a foam insulation bucket, and waited for his aunt's family to get up to drink, then washed the dishes, and went out.

Li Rui walked towards the vegetable market.I didn't see many people along the way.

It's too early, and people who do morning exercises won't get up so early.

Li Rui quickened his pace.

The vegetable market has gradually become lively.

Li Rui walked quickly to the breakfast shop.

The aunt in the store saw Li Rui coming, and greeted him warmly: "Li Rui, why do you come so early every day?" The aunt thought about her own children. During the summer vacation, before ten o'clock, there is absolutely no time to leave. Will get up, can not help but sigh.

Li Rui smiled, but did not speak.

He washed his hands, put on his apron, and went to help the aunts make buns.

People in the city are no different than towns, and people get up later. The boss also told Li Rui that he can arrive before 6 o'clock, and it will be fine if he catches up with the busiest time.

But Li Rui just wanted to come earlier.

After he learned from the aunt in the shop for a day, the steamed stuffed buns were already decent, but the speed was not very fast.After that, I practiced for a few days, and now the wrapping is fast and beautiful.

Everyone in the store likes this well-behaved and obedient child.

Immediately, someone asked Li Rui if he had breakfast.

Li Rui replied that he had eaten it, but the other party brought over a steamed bun that had just come out of the cage and asked Li Rui to try it.

Everyone felt that this child was good everywhere, but he was a little too thin.

Li Rui was not as shy as he was when he first came here. He took the steamed bun, ate it in two bites, and then praised how delicious it was with a smile.

Everyone laughed.

At six o'clock, more and more people came to buy breakfast.

Li Rui was very busy with the others, while busy delivering the packed breakfast to the guests, he was also busy collecting money for change.

Busy times are always extraordinarily fast.

When he was finally free, Li Rui realized that his hands were a little sore.

Li Rui shook his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead, when suddenly someone shouted, "Give me two meat buns."

After hearing this, Li Rui subconsciously began to carry the steamer and take the buns, neither caring about the person nor hearing the other person's voice.

When he put the steamed stuffed bun into a plastic bag and raised his eyes and handed it to the other party, he froze for a moment.

The person who bought the steamed stuffed bun also showed two points of astonishment: "Li Rui."

Gu Huaidong pretended to be very surprised, and forgot to reach out to take the bun.

When Li Rui saw Gu Huaidong, he was startled for a while, and soon recovered.

He handed the bun to Gu Huaidong very naturally: "Gu Huaidong, here it is."

Gu Huaidong took the steamed stuffed bun and didn't leave, he just stood aside and gnawed it.I also asked the aunt on the side for a bowl of soy milk.

Li Rui greeted the guests by himself, but he didn't know that his behavior of not looking at Gu Huaidong from the beginning to the end seemed deliberate.

Gu Huaidong finished eating and drinking leisurely.

At this time, the breakfast shop is not so busy.

Gu Huaidong stepped forward to talk to Li Rui: "Li Rui, why are you here?"

The end is a very puzzled look.

Li Rui glanced at Gu Huaidong's face, then quickly looked away, staring at the buns in the steamer and said, "I'm working here."

"Oh. No wonder you never see me. Li Rui, have you forgotten what you promised me before?" Gu Huaidong asked.

Li Rui didn't know how to answer Gu Huaidong's question. If he answered honestly that he remembered the agreement, that he didn't have time to find Gu Huaidong, would it be too hurtful?

Li Rui simply didn't answer.

"Gu Huaidong, have you finished your breakfast yet?" Li Rui asked.

"Li Rui, are you driving me away?" Gu Huaidong asked pitifully.

"Li Rui, who is this?"

After Li Rui chatted with Gu Huaidong for so long, several aunties gathered around and asked.

"Hello, I'm Li Rui's classmate." Gu Huaidong put his arms around Li Rui's shoulders across the table, as if he and Li Rui were on good terms.

"So it's Li Rui's classmate. Hello, little classmate."

"Hello, Auntie." Gu Huaidong put on a proper polite smile, warm and natural.

Li Rui saw that Gu Huaidong chatted happily with several aunts in the store very quickly, a little uncertain what Gu Huaidong wanted to do.

And although Gu Huaidong refused to leave, he didn't disturb their business.Step aside whenever guests come.

When there is no one else, come up and chat with this person and that person.

When Gu Huaidong talked to him again, Li Rui asked him bluntly: "Gu Huaidong, why haven't you left?" He deliberately lowered his voice.

Gu Huaidong saw that Li Rui was still a little uncomfortable, and continued to put on a shameless look: "Li Rui, don't drive me away. I have nothing to do when I go back. And I think you have fun selling buns. Are you still recruiting?"

Li Rui didn't know what to answer.

Gu Huaidong asked again: "Li Rui, tell me, can I sell breakfast with you?"

"……not good."

"Why? You see, you can come to work, why can't I."

"Gu Huaidong, you don't need to work part-time." Li Rui thought for a while before answering Gu Huaidong.

"But I want to experience life." Gu Huaidong said, "Li Rui, I haven't sold buns yet."

Gu Huaidong spoke seriously, as if he was really interested in selling buns.

Li Rui was still thinking that Gu Huaidong wanted to come because he saw him there, but now he is not so sure.

In front of him, Gu Huaidong sometimes acted very reliable, and sometimes appeared very naive, yes, naive.Li Rui often didn't know how to deal with him.

Gu Huaidong no longer forced Li Rui, but turned to ask the boss next to him.

Gu Huaidong still used the rhetoric of experiencing life, and said that he didn't need wages, but he tried his best to sell himself.

In the end, the shop owner probably thought he was interesting, so he agreed to sell breakfast together.

But she neither talked about salary, nor made any demands on Gu Huaidong.

The adults all thought that this child who seemed to know that the family conditions were good was just a passing interest, and after trying it, the interest faded away and they would leave.

The boss aunt told Gu Huaidong not to make trouble.

Gu Huaidong patted his chest and agreed, and the next second he rushed into the counter and stood beside Li Rui.

The people who came to buy breakfast are now also the people who sell breakfast.

Compared to Gu Huaidong's enthusiasm, Li Rui's reaction was indifferent.

However, when Gu Huaidong asked him questions such as "where is the bean paste bun", he would still answer patiently.

Even though Gu Huaidong had just asked the same question before.

After ten o'clock, the shop owner told Li Rui that he could leave work.

Li Rui pulled off his apron and said goodbye to her.

Gu Huaidong did the same.

The two left the breakfast shop together.

Li Rui didn't say a word until he walked out for a long time.

Gu Huaidong looked at Li Rui's expression, and asked him: "Li Rui, are you angry?" His voice was still cautiously flattering.

"No." Li Rui replied.

Gu Huaidong didn't believe it, Li Rui didn't seem angry like this.

Gu Huaidong shrank his shoulders, wrinkled his nose and said to Li Rui, "Am I bothering you? I didn't mean it."

Li Rui really couldn't bear Gu Huaidong's pitiful appearance, and said again sincerely: "I'm not angry."

As for Gu Huaidong's sudden appearance and his stubborn refusal to leave, he was either surprised or embarrassed, but he didn't feel angry.

"Then why don't you speak?" Gu Huaidong asked Li Rui.

Li Rui frowned: "Aren't I just talking to you right now?"

Seeing Li Rui frown, Gu Huaidong became more and more sure that Li Rui was really angry.

But at this time, it must not be touched against the hair.

Gu Huaidong answered two words foolishly: "Yes."

Looking at his appearance, Li Rui suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

After a long time, Li Rui found a suitable adjective for his inner feeling at this moment, and couldn't bear to look directly at it.

And Gu Huaidong's current performance also has a corresponding adjective, which is called appalling.

Hello everyone, this is a regular post.

The author who used idioms indiscriminately went on a day trip to Shaoxing to entertain guests.Don't learn from her.

The following is a small theater:

"Li Rui, Li Rui, look at me, don't I look cute? Are you cute by me?" Gu Huaidong held his chin with both hands and made a "blossom" expression.

Li Rui (can't bear to look straight): "...Director, is it too late for me to resign now?"
