The Cultivation of Rebirth

The winter in City G is much shorter than that in the north.

After more than half of this winter, the school began to have winter vacation.

On the night Gu Huaidong just finished his final exam, Mr. Gu called to urge his grandson to go back.

No one answered the phone at home, so he just called Gu Huaidong's cell phone directly.

Even though he usually makes a lot of phone calls, but hasn't seen his eldest grandson for more than half a year, the old man still thinks hard.

Gu Huaidong was celebrating the holiday with Li Ruilinxin in the small villa of Peng Zhen's house, when he found the old man's call, he hurried to the balcony to answer it.

The old man's earnest words on the phone had only one point - let Gu Huaidong go home quickly.

Faced with Mr. Gu's request, Gu Huaidong hesitated for a long time and refused to agree.

Mr. Gu was upset: "Little heartless, it's the Chinese New Year and you still don't plan to come back!"

"Grandpa, I didn't say I couldn't go back."

"Did you say you were coming back?"

No... Gu Huaidong was embarrassed for a while, and said, "Grandpa, isn't it still half a month before Chinese New Year..."

Before he finished speaking, Mr. Gu shouted on the phone: "Huaidong, what are you talking about? Don't tell grandpa that you plan to come back on the evening of the New Year's Eve! If this is the case, I will talk to your parents go."

Through his grandfather's tone, Gu Huaidong seemed to see his beard blowing and staring.

He also knew he had to go back.His parents also told him to go back yesterday.But he couldn't let Li Rui go.

Gu Huaidong was very worried.

"Grandpa, don't be angry, me, I'll go back after I get my report card in two days." Gu Huaidong coaxed the old man with a bitter face.

Only then did Mr. Gu feel happier, and he gave Gu Huaidong a few more instructions.

After Gu Huaidong hung up the phone, he became even more worried.

The old man is satisfied, but what is he going to tell Li Rui?

Looking at the gloomy night, Gu Huaidong let out a long sigh.

Before he could finish his melancholy, he heard Peng Zhen calling himself from the room.

Gu Huaidong immediately went back to the house.

"Gu Da, what are you talking about that is shameful, and you have to hide from us when you talk on the phone. It's been so long." Peng Zhen had a face full of teasing, but he didn't have a good word in his mouth.

Gu Huaidong pierced Peng Zhen's body with a "shua".

"Fuck off, something shameful. My grandpa's phone call."

When Peng Zhen heard Mr. Gu's name, he immediately fell silent.

Instead, Lin Xin asked, "Brother Dong, why did Grandpa Gu call you?"

As soon as Lin Xin finished asking, Li Rui secretly raised his ears and waited for Gu Huaidong's answer.

Gu Huaidong glanced at Li Rui, Li Rui seemed to be watching TV seriously.

Gu Huaidong pretended to be impatient, and replied to Lin Xin: "What could be the matter, isn't it just that I have to come to lecture after a long distance."

Lin Xin listened and said with empathy: "It turns out that Grandpa Gu is like this too. Brother Dong, you have suffered." His old man also likes to lecture regularly.

When he was at home, he had to be called to the study every weekend; now that he is out of town, it has been changed to a coaching call every weekend.

It's okay if Lin Xin doesn't pick up!It's impossible for him not to go home all the time.

Thinking of going home, Lin Xin asked Gu Huaidong: "Brother Dong, when are you going to go back? My parents won't be able to go back until the Spring Festival, but they told me to go back first by myself. Let's make a companion together."

Gu Huaidong thinks that Lin Xin is just a fool, is there such a thing as which pot does not open and which pot is lifted?

"Let's talk about it later." Gu Huaidong answered Lin Xin perfunctorily while observing Li Rui.

"Lin Xin, why don't you ask me when I'm going back?" Peng Zhen interrupted suddenly and asked Lin Xin.

Peng Zhen was also born and raised in Forty-Nine City, so he basically had to go back for the Chinese New Year.

Lin Xin's attention was immediately focused on Peng Zhen.

"I plan to play with you for two more days and go back after receiving the report card. Do you want to go back at that time?"

Lin Xin felt that it was impossible. According to the experience of previous years, when Peng Zhen went back, it would be the 26th of the lunar calendar at the earliest.

Of course it was impossible for Peng Zhen to go back so early.He has to help his parents take care of business here.

Chinese New Year is the busiest time, and it is also a time when you can make a fortune.

But... "You don't have to ask me if I can't go with you?" Peng Zhen's voice raised a little.

Lin Xin's brain was always witty for a moment, but he didn't express his true thoughts.

He shut his mouth very simply.

In the evening, when Gu Huaidong and Li Rui returned from Peng Zhen's house, Xiao Li was still there to pick them up.

It was a little late when we got back, and Li Rui yawned as soon as he got in the car.

Gu Huaidong told Li Rui: "If you are sleepy, go to sleep first."

Li Rui let out a "hmm", leaned against the back of the chair, and closed his eyes.

He was so obedient, but made Gu Huaidong inexplicably anxious.

Gu Huaidong scratched his head and wanted to talk to Li Rui, but now that there were outsiders around and Li Rui seemed to be really asleep, he had no choice but to give up.

Gu Huaidong was anxious all the way.

There were no cars on the road late at night, so Xiao Li drove faster.Because of this, Gu Huaidong suffered less suffering.

When the car drove to the downstairs of the apartment, Li Rui opened his eyes without Gu Huaidong calling, opened the door, got out of the car and went upstairs.

Gu Huaidong hurriedly dismissed Xiao Li and chased after him.

When he caught up with Li Rui, Gu Huaidong didn't know what to say.

He followed Li Rui silently until he reached the door of the house.

Li Rui didn't bring the key with him when he went out, and after waiting for a long time, the person with the key came forward to open the door and turned around: "Gu Huaidong, you come to open the door. I didn't bring the key."

Gu Huaidong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Li Rui's order.

He took the key out of his pocket and stepped forward to open the door.

Two people walked into the house.

After closing the door, Gu Huaidong still followed Li Rui around step by step.

Li Rui went to the kitchen to pour water and he followed, and Li Rui returned to the living room and sat down on the sofa, and he followed.

Li Rui sat on the sofa, seeing Gu Huaidong standing next to the sofa, he suddenly felt a sense of grievance.

His face twitched unnaturally, Li Rui asked Gu Huaidong to sit down, and then handed the two glasses of water in his hand to Gu Huaidong: "Do you want a drink?"

"I want to drink." Gu Huaidong immediately took it with both hands.

"Li Rui, I have something to tell you."

Gu Huaidong took a sip of water, put the cup on the tea table, and said to Li Rui, "I'm going back to my hometown for the Chinese New Year."

Li Rui asked Gu Huaidong: "Grandpa Gu called you at night to tell you to go back?"

"Yeah." Gu Huaidong confessed to Li Rui.

"Gu Huaidong, you should go back with Lin Xin." Li Rui said lightly and delicately, "You have to go home during the Chinese New Year."

This sentence fell on Gu Huaidong's heart, but it was so heavy.

He has gone back, what will Li Rui do?

Gu Huaidong couldn't help complaining about his own helplessness.

He was the one who tied Li Rui to his side, but now he can't be with Li Rui.

"Li Rui, if I go back, I won't be back until the end of the New Year." Gu Huaidong said in a muffled voice.

Li Rui frowned: "Yes. I will wait for you to come back."

"Li Rui..." Gu Huaidong felt uncomfortable.

"Is this what you want to talk about? Let's go to bed after we've said that. I'm sleepy again."

"……it is good"

The two went into the bedroom to wash and sleep.

Gu Huaidong waited for Li Rui to fall asleep before pulling him into his arms and holding him tightly.

He hugged him too tightly, Li Rui moved uncomfortably, but he didn't really wake up.

Gu Huaidong kept his eyes open all night, and the next morning his eyes were red.

He gently let go of Li Rui and got up, brushed his teeth and washed his face, and went to the kitchen to make breakfast.

Then when Li Rui got up, the two of them ate breakfast together, then retreated to the study to call Peng Zhen.

After returning from the phone call, Gu Huaidong asked Li Rui, "Are you planning to go out to work during the winter vacation?"

Li Rui was taken aback by Gu Huaidong's straight-to-the-point attitude, thought for a while, and nodded honestly: "I have this plan."

After speaking, he looked at Gu Huaidong worriedly.Gu Huaidong won't object, will he?

Then Li Rui thought that Gu Huaidong was going home during the winter vacation, so he should not be able to control himself.

Even if Gu Huaidong objects now, he will definitely look for a job later.

Li Rui's determination was firm.

However, Gu Huaidong did not raise any objections.

Gu Huaidong told Li Rui: "Peng Zhen wants to ask you to be a tutor for his cousin. Li Rui, are you going? If not, I will ask Peng Zhen to find someone else."

"Tutor?" Li Rui was puzzled.Can he do it?

"Yes. Peng Zhen's cousin is two years younger than you. He started school late in the first grade of junior high school. His grades were not very good. His family asked Peng Zhen to help him find a tutor, so Peng Zhen came to me. He said his cousin was very good. Damn, a few college students left in anger, so now they pay more money, 25 an hour. He thinks you are about the same age as his cousin, and maybe you can get along well. He just called me to ask me for help, so I said Come and ask you."

Gu Huaidong's words were mixed with truth and falsehood: "Li Rui, I think you are quite suitable. You don't always give lectures to classmates very well. I think you can try it. But if you really don't want to do it, it's okay. , I said sorry to Peng Zhen and asked him to find someone else."

"It's okay, I'll go. This is the first time Peng Zhen has asked us for help." Li Rui suggested to Gu Huaidong, "But 25 an hour is too much, so we don't need that much. That's not right, Gu Huaidong, how about you and Peng Zhen Zhen said, I will be a tutor, and the money will not be charged, just ask him to treat us to a delicious meal later."

Gu Huaidong replied: "His cousin's family is rich, and they are willing to pay. If you don't charge money, they may think that you are not good at teaching. 25 an hour is really not much, because the child has several classes that need tutoring. Woolen cloth."

He picked this child out of Peng Zhen's relatives who needed tutoring, so of course he had to make the best use of it.

Gu Huaidong didn't have the slightest psychological burden to discredit the black children.

"...Let me think about it again." Li Rui still hesitated.He felt that no matter how good his level was, it was impossible for him to be better than college students.Li Rui worried that he could not speak well.

"Let's try it first. If we can do it, we will do it. If we can't, then find something else. Don't give Peng Zhen any face."

Li Rui heard Gu Huaidong's words, and the balance in his heart began to waver again: "But... I don't have the current junior high school textbook."

"Peng Zhen said that he has prepared everything for you. As soon as you agree, he will ask someone to bring it to you at noon."

"Okay." Li Rui finally bit the bullet and agreed.
