hand in hand rebirth

"Hi, hello! Yes,..."

The professor on the podium was dancing and spitting, and Gu Yuan stooped down to answer the phone secretly.After the phone call, he frantically copied notes on the courseware on the screen, but the upturned corners of his mouth revealed his good mood.

As soon as the get out of class bell rang, Gu Yuan was caught by Zhou Wenzhang and Tian Yang who had planned ahead, insisting that he, the first person who left the order, invite him to dinner.It's not that Gu Yuan doesn't want to invite, but there is indeed an urgent matter at hand, and he was able to escape after making many unequal treaties.

"I'm at the door of the store now, where are you?" Gu Yuan looked around while holding the phone.

"Gu Yuan, here!" Gu Yuan followed the prestige, and Zhang Ling on the other side of the road waved vigorously at him. Behind her stood beside Zhang Zhizhong a middle-aged woman wearing a white blouse and black cotton pants. She was black and white. His hair was tied into a neat ponytail, and his face was still pale from serious illness.She looked at Zhang Ling with undisguised love in her eyes.

For some reason, Gu Yuan thought of Huang Yujue who was far away, and felt a little more intimate with this strange woman in front of him. "Hello, Auntie, I'm Gu Yuan."

Lin Jinhong smiled and nodded to Gu Yuan, "I've heard Lingling and her father tell you about you, thank you very much this time, otherwise our family..." Lin Jinhong's voice choked, her relatives were like Dodge them like a virus,

"No need to do this..."

"Yes, yes. This time I invited you out to thank you very much. This time I really helped you a lot." The two exchanged a few words of greeting with a smile.

Now it was almost lunch time, Gu Yuan offered to find a place to eat before talking, Zhang Ling looked at his father and mother, and nodded in agreement.The group found a nearby small restaurant. According to Zhang Ling, the price was reasonable and the quantity was sufficient.

"Let's order first and then talk." Gu Yuan took the initiative to pass the menu to Zhang Ling's mother and daughter, and was busy pouring tea for Zhang Zhizhong and asking the waiter to serve the tableware.After several years of growth, he has learned to always show his willful and coquettish side only to those closest to him. In front of outsiders, he can be sophisticated, mature, take care of anyone, and have a warm conversation with anyone.

Zhang Ling took the menu, opened it, and couldn't believe her eyes. She and her parents used to come to this small restaurant often. Those few things, but the price has gone up several times.

"What's the matter?" Lin Jinhong leaned over to take a look, and gasped in surprise, her voice trembling, "When did this place become so expensive!"

Looking at the no longer familiar prices on the menu, both mother and daughter showed a little hesitation on their faces.Lin Jinhong's illness cost almost all of them, and ordering such dishes was definitely a luxury in their current situation.

Seeing the embarrassed expressions of the two of them, Gu Yuan immediately understood. With the popularity of Songbailin Street, the prices of many shops on Songbailin Street have also risen accordingly.He took another menu and flipped through it on his own, "In order to celebrate my aunt's successful operation, let me be the host today." Then, he called the waiter and ordered several dishes .

Lin Jinhong looked at the generous Gu Yuan with a smile on his face, but felt a bit bitter in his heart.

Since she got the disease, almost all the money the family had accumulated in the past few years has been wiped out, and it has caused her husband and daughter to worry about it. She understands that it is helpless for her husband to sell the store on Songbailin Street, and she has always been grateful A good buyer can be found.

However, during this period of time, relatives who used to avoid them suddenly came to the door one after another, and they kept asking about their storefront on Songbain Street. The matter on the street suddenly became a new hot spot for investment in the imperial city, and the price also rose all the way.The big pie that fell from the sky turned the half-dead man trapped in the store on Songbain Street into a millionaire.

Lin Jinhong, who heard the news, didn't sleep well for several days in a row. If her store had not been sold to Gu Yuan, then she would be the one who was hit by the pie now. There is also money to really take root in the city to buy a house.

"Mom, what's wrong with you? Gu Yuan is talking to you!" Zhang Ling pushed Lin Jinhong who was in a daze.

"No, it's nothing." Lin Jinhong recovered, put on a smile, and looked at Gu Yuan, "Gu Yuan, what's the matter?"

Gu Yuan felt a little strange and didn't ask. "I'm asking what do you like to eat? Or, let's add another dish."

"No need." Lin Jinhong repeatedly refused, "I ordered several items, enough to eat, enough to eat."

Gu Yuan nodded and stopped talking. Lin Jinhong secretly looked at his clothes. The clothes were simple, but from the material of the clothes, he could tell whether they were ordinary street goods. He spoke politely and treated others politely. It could be seen that he came from a good family. child.She tentatively asked, "Gu Yuan, where are you from?"

"I am a native of the Imperial City."

"I heard from Lingling that you live on campus, so why don't you live in your own home, because the outside is not as comfortable as living in your own home."

Gu Yuan scratched his head in embarrassment, "My parents are out of town, and the Imperial City will leave me alone. It's better to live in the school, and everyone can take care of each other."

"That's it." Lin Jinhong sighed and nodded, but she was secretly happy in her heart. The thought hidden under the sigh was biting and scratching wantonly in her heart like a greedy beast, and it couldn't wait to rush out of her. chest.She clenched her hands tightly, and winked at Zhang Zhizhong who was sitting on the side and was silent.

After receiving Zhang Ling's instructions, Zhang Zhizhong coughed uncomfortably, his expression was a little stiff, and he rubbed his trouser legs with his rough fingers to relieve his uneasiness.Zhang Ling mentioned that matter to him yesterday, and his first reaction was that it was ridiculous. After all, Gu Yuan is still his family's benefactor, so if he proposes to buy back the store, wouldn't it be ungrateful?

As soon as Lin Jinhong saw his reluctance, she immediately pointed to his nose and recounted how much suffering and suffering she had suffered with him all these years, pinching her fingers and calculating that if the store could be bought back, then their family would be happy. She can really become a native of the imperial city, and Lingling doesn't have to worry about her future...

Zhang Zhizhong was at a loss for what to do with the old wife's tears. He really owed her a lot over the years, not to mention that Lin Jinhong was still ill.There was no other way, even though he was extremely unwilling, Zhang Zhizhong gritted his teeth and agreed, and bought back the storefront from Gu Yuan with Zhang Ling.

But when things came to an end, he couldn't open his mouth to the boy who was so grateful to him.

Lin Jinhong glanced at the retreating Zhang Zhizhong complainingly, how could she not know that he felt that he was greedy for profit and ungrateful, but he didn't think about it, if he didn't do this, how could they, who were already destitute, live in the cannibalism of the imperial city? survive.Lin Jinhong looked at Gu Yuan, a child from a spoiled and pampered family would not know of such hard work.

"Gu Yuan, in fact, you, Uncle Zhang, and I invited you here today. First, I want to thank you for helping us when our family was in the most difficult time. We are really grateful. Second, there is something I want to discuss it with you."

Gu Yuan didn't speak, and looked at the undisguised doubt on Zhang Ling's face, the embarrassment of Zhang Zhizhong pulling Lin Jinhong's sleeve, and the excitement in Lin Jinhong's eyes, which he tried to hide but still showed, his heart was already a little bit However, although he has never expected such things as good rewards for good people, there is still an emotion called disappointment stuck in his chest, which makes him feel unspeakably uncomfortable.

"Tell me." Gu Yuan straightened his back.

Lin Jinhong slowed down her tone, "That's how it is. The shop on Songbailin Street can be said to be the hard work of your Uncle Zhang and I for most of our lives. It was forced to sell because of my illness. Fortunately, I met you. I fell in love with you and gave a fair price so that I can get it under control smoothly, but you, Uncle Zhang, and I have feelings for it, so I really can’t bear it.” Lin Jinhong wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with trembling hands, with an emotional look on her face It is indeed embarrassing.

"Mom, what are you talking about!" Zhang Ling blushed and shouted at Lin Jinhong. She understood what Lin Jinhong said, but what position did they have for saying such things.

"Is it your child's place to interrupt when the adults are talking!" Lin Jinhong reprimanded Zhang Ling repeatedly. Zhang Ling bit her lip aggrievedly, bowed her head and stopped talking.

Lin Jinhong turned her head to meet Gu Yuan's eyes, and her heart trembled. Those eyes were as deep as a pool of spring water, and they were so clean that they could reflect the greedy thoughts in her heart, making her unable to hide.What can a child who doesn't understand the world know?While comforting herself, Lin Jinhong said what she had pondered for a long time yesterday.

"You, Uncle Zhang, and I think so. I hope you can sell us the storefront on Songbailin Street again." After saying this, Lin Jinhong immediately glanced at Gu Yuan, his face still calm. Bo, without any emotion of anger, feeling hopeful, went on:

"We know that such a request is a bit abrupt, but we have indeed stayed in Songbailin Street for some years. We have known old neighbors and old neighbors, and we will not be able to adapt to leaving for a while. I discussed it with you, Uncle Zhang. For a moment, in addition to the money you paid, we will give you another [-] yuan, as a thank you for your help to our family, how about it?"

It's so touching, first he understands it with reason, then moves it with emotion, and finally he still doesn't forget to give him a little profit, and after successfully cleansing his name, he still doesn't forget his good reputation. If the person sitting in front of them is really spoiled, no Young people who are well versed in the world may not necessarily agree to it.

"Mom, where do we have so much money?" Zhang Ling questioned, frowning.

"Your second aunt and I have already agreed, she is very supportive of us buying back the original store." Lin Jinhong replied Shi Shiran, "She also said that Gu Yuan can help us, he must be a child with good conduct, if we want us to Thank you so much, folks."

Zhang Ling doubted what Lin Jinhong said. No one knew that her second aunt was a vampire who would never let her relatives off, so how could she lend money to her family so easily.

Speaking of Zhang Ling's second aunt, there is really a story.When he was young, he eloped with Xiaonian, but was abandoned by others.After returning home in embarrassment, my grandmother married a butcher who sold pork. Although the man had no education, he was the first-class kind to the second aunt, but the second aunt was not satisfied. her happiness.In addition, the second aunt is not close to the people of the Zhang family, and the second aunt never comes to visit relatives during the Chinese New Year.If any relatives borrow money from her, she will always charge a three-cent interest.

Zhang Ling's suspicion was not wrong. Lin Jinhong borrowed some money from her second aunt and promised to repay it with five cents interest. Ken nodded in agreement.

"Gu Yuan, what do you think?" Lin Jinhong's eyes were full of eagerness.

Gu Yuan lowered his head and smiled self-deprecatingly, raised his head, looked straight into Lin Jinhong's eyes sharply, and said word by word: "If you want me to say, it's really not that good."

Lin Jinhong was surprised to find that after the bookish young man took off his modest and gentlemanly coat and wiped the gentle and clean smile from the corners of his mouth, his eyes without any emotion turned out to be frighteningly cold.But thinking of the store door on Songbain Street, she had no choice but to continue to bite the bullet and say:

"Then, what do you think is good, we can discuss it."

Gu Yuan narrowed his eyes, and stroked the rim of the glass with his fingers, "Since you must say something, then I will open up to you. I will never sell the store on Songbailin Street. First of all, What is the current value of that storefront? I don’t think I’ll say it, but everyone knows it. Now it’s impossible to buy it with the original price and just add tens of thousands. Secondly, the reason why I bought that This store is definitely not some kind of injustice, I have been looking for a suitable target, and I bought it only because the price is reasonable and the location is good.

In the end, I didn't buy that store because I want your thanks, so you..." I don't care if I thank you or not.

Gu Yuan's words made Lin Jinhong's face turn red and then turn pale. She didn't expect to be choked up by a young man. The unprecedented embarrassment made her heart ablaze.

Zhang Ling, who was sitting beside her, also felt extremely embarrassed. She originally thought that her mother wanted to meet Gu Yuan to thank him, but she didn't expect this to happen.But the daughter always felt sorry for her mother. Seeing Lin Jinhong's pale face, Zhang Ling rushed out to apologize to Gu Yuan: "I'm sorry, Gu Yuan, my mother is just, just... she didn't mean anything malicious."

Since Gu Yuan refused to show mercy, Lin Jinhong felt that there was no need to be polite anymore, so she just tore her face apart, pointing at Gu Yuan and screaming: "That store was originally my home, if it wasn't for you, if it wasn't for you ..."

"If it wasn't for me, the money from selling the store would not be enough for your medical treatment. If it wasn't for me, you would now..." You may not be able to sit here and accuse him aggressively.Gu Yuan bit Liang Liang's lips, the good family education made Gu Yuan still unable to say that almost vicious curse.He stood up abruptly, "I remembered that I have something to do later, so I'll leave first."

"Gu Yuan, hey!" Zhang Ling wanted to stop him but she didn't. She could only look at his resolutely leaving back with a look of despair on her face. They probably won't have a chance to meet again.

And beside her, Lin Jinhong was still accusing Zhang Zhizhong, "I told you to cooperate with me, cooperate with me, it's nothing if you don't talk there, are you a dead person? You can't even speak, can you! "

Thinking about Gu Yuan's words just now, Zhang Zhizhong felt like he was slapping his face nakedly. His family did this unkindly.Zhang Zhizhong scratched his head angrily, "Don't talk about it, you are not allowed to mention this matter again!"
