No one understands rebirth better than me

Chapter 123 Guan Qiaoyun's Miraculous Switch

The next day.

Guan Ren got up early, but didn't go for a morning run.

He was feeling particularly excited today.

Without saying a word, I got up and logged into the backend of "Confucianism and Taoism Supreme". I did a quick interaction in the comments and casually banned a few cuckolds, literary youths, and pedantic trainees, etc.

Then he took out a USB flash drive-like object from the drawer.

That's something called "U-Shield" given to us by China Construction Bank; it involves security certificates and such.

Although Guan Ren hadn't touched this thing in a long time.

I didn't even know what this thing was actually used for.

But these days, people aren't familiar with the software and hardware environments, so as long as there's a [U-shield], just plug it in, and there's usually no problem.

After plugging it in, log in to online banking.

"call…"

Excited heart, trembling hands.

Guan Ren took a deep breath and clicked the "Check Balance" button.

Immediately, several numbers popped up.

"one two three…"

Six figures!
On the first day of publication, Guan Ren suddenly found a six-figure sum in his bank account!
At this moment, Guan Ren couldn't help but smile, and at the same time, he felt his eyes getting hot, and tears were about to fall.

Whether in his past life or this one, this was the first time he had ever seen a six-digit number in his bank account!

Guan Ren knew very well what it meant to have such an income in a month in this era, at his age.

"Calm down, calm down..."

Guan Ren muttered to himself.

But some happy things just get more and more exciting the more you think about them.

Just like some sad things, the more you think about them, the sadder you become.

An excited Guan Renxian paced back and forth in his bedroom.

Then I went to the balcony, enjoying the breeze and breathing in the cold air.

In the end, he couldn't resist and rushed into Guan Qiaoyun's bedroom.

"!"

In the bedroom, Guan Qiaoyun had just changed into a new pair of stockings and was admiring another gift her son had bought for her on her birthday in front of the full-length mirror: a pair of new burgundy suede high heels.

When he barged in, he was startled.

What kind of trouble are you causing?

"Sister Qiaoyun..."

"?"

Seeing Guan Ren burst in excitedly, Guan Qiaoyun had no idea what he was going to do; her heart just instinctively skipped a beat.

Before Guan Qiaoyun could react, Guan Ren had already pulled her into a tight embrace.

Guan Qiaoyun was momentarily dazed, but after a while she clenched her fist, furrowed her brows, and punched him on the back of the shoulder:
"Hey Guan, what stupid thing are you doing now?"

"Ah~"

Guan Ren sighed, but it was clear that he wasn't feeling down.

He simply tightened his embrace again, then released it, gazing "kindly" at Guan Qiaoyun, and grinning foolishly.

"Okay, okay."

"What's good?"

"Anyway, it's great, hehe, everything feels good, everything is great~"

"Neuropathy…"

Guan Qiaoyun ignored Guan Ren's erratic behavior, and when Guan Ren tried to give her a bear hug again, she pushed him away with a slightly panicked gesture.

As a result, Guan Ren didn't control the force of the push well, and he was caught off guard, so he stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

"Oh dear! ...Are you alright?"

"It's okay, it's okay..."

Guan Ren himself was fine, but seeing the unnatural blush on Guan Qiaoyun's pretty face, he felt that something was wrong.

"Sister Qiaoyun, why is your face so red?"

"nonsense!"

Guan Qiaoyun quickly rubbed her cheeks and put on a stern face:
"Wasn't it you who carried me..."

"?"

"...You...you hugged me too tightly, I'm so angry I could burst!"

……

This is the most reasonable explanation that Guan Qiaoyun could come up with and articulate.

Does she think she'd be embarrassed if Guan Ren hugged her?
However, on the other hand, the truth is not that Guan Ren had suppressed her feelings.

Although Guan Ren rushed over foolishly and hugged her rather tightly...

But it wasn't enough to make Guan Qiaoyun feel suffocated. What truly made Guan Qiaoyun somewhat uncomfortable was:
When Guan Ren hugs himself, his large hands always naturally rest on his back, unconsciously stroking or gently pinching it.

For the average person, this might just be a small, inevitable gesture when people hug, nothing to worry about.

But for Guan Qiaoyun, her back was her...her...

Tsk... how should I put it...

It's like some kind of magical switch on her body.

This is why Guan Qiaoyun felt a little weak the moment Guan Ren put his hand on her back while hugging her.

Admittedly, this is quite unfortunate.

It's purely due to my own special circumstances.

It has nothing to do with Guan Ren, who is ignorant.

Even so, Guan Qiaoyun certainly couldn't bring herself to say to Guan Ren, "My back is actually very sensitive," so in the end, she could only lie casually to appease him.

--------

"The washing machine, water heater, refrigerator, TV... and even the living room light hasn't worked for a long time..."

After that, Guan Ren, who now had a six-figure bank account, began to think about acquiring more things to improve his quality of life.

Of course, if we're talking about getting everything done in one go, then it's definitely about moving to a new house.

With the tens of thousands of yuan Guan Ren currently has, he could easily buy a better second-hand house in Jiangzhou County with cash.

For more upscale new homes, a down payment is more than enough.

But Guan Ren wasn't in a hurry.

Because he will be going to university in a little over a year, and only then can buying a house in the provincial capital be considered a truly one-stop solution.

Right now, it's better to spend your money on things that can quickly and noticeably improve your happiness.

For example, replacing home appliances.

For example, buy Guan Qiaoyun more new clothes and new bags.

And Guan Ren had been planning for a long time to get a proper gym membership.

As for the present situation…

Of course, I'll also buy some good food to treat myself.

"Peaceful Fresh Braised Food! Let's go!"

……

In 2011, few people realized that the internationally accepted Engel coefficient was actually not very applicable in China.

Because besides snacks like cookies and potato chips, going out to eat every now and then, and enjoying various snacks and late-night meals has always been a part of Chinese people's enjoyment of life.

……

Soon, Guan Ren, who was enjoying life, arrived at his familiar stall on Meteor Road.

"Sister Shui Rou?"

There was no one at the stall, and Guan Ren looked inside the storefront but didn't see An Shui Rou.

But there is still one mythical beast guarding the shop.

That's An Guoguo sitting on the little stool.

In front of the little one was a low table with a crumpled copy of "Three Hundred Tang Poems" on it. Next to it was an exercise book with the words "Preschool Class 3" and "An Guoguo" scrawled on it in pencil.

"Oh dear...oh dear..."

As Guan Ren walked over, he heard An Guoguo sighing like a little adult, looking worried and distressed, as if saying, "Life is hard, An Guoguo is sighing."

He immediately began to absentmindedly chew on the eraser tip wrapped in tin foil at the end of the pencil.

As I was gnawing away, I turned my head and saw Guan Ren.

An Guoguo's eyes widened, she sniffed, and after thinking for a moment, she said:

"My mom isn't here!"

"An Guoguo, did I come here just to find your mother?"

"Ah."

An Guoguo's big eyes are filled with undeniable innocence.

Guan Ren could only shake his head and mutter, "Children's words are innocent," and not bother arguing with her.

"Guan Ren, Guan Ren."

"Ok?"

"You said, you said... um... that guy named Bai Juyi, he wrote so many poems, how many of them could he recite himself?"

"..."

Guan Ren was also unable to answer the fundamental question posed by An Guoguo.

If I remember correctly, Bai Juyi wrote more than 3,800 poems in his lifetime, and he probably couldn't remember them all.

So Guan Ren simply stopped answering and patted her head:
"When is your mother coming back? I need to buy some food."

"No need for Mom."

Upon hearing that Guan Ren was going to buy groceries, An Guoguo immediately turned around and called out towards the kitchen:
"elder sister--"
