No one understands rebirth better than me

Chapter 192 Sending New Year’s Goods

Jingle Bell--

In a break room, Guan Ren's phone rang.

Guan Ren gestured to Gu Wancheng with his eyes to let go of his arm. Gu Wancheng paused for a moment, then seemed to realize something and threw away the arm she was holding.

"hiss…"

Guan Ren gasped, and Gu Wancheng instinctively lifted his arm again.

But then I suddenly realized.

This guy clearly only has a few scratches on his arm, nothing serious, so why is he baring his teeth like that?
Gu Wancheng's pretty face turned cold, and she threw it away again.

"hiss--!"

Guan Ren was truly taken aback this time.

Because of this throw, the back of his hand landed right on the edge of the chair.

But Gu Wancheng just silently looked at her phone, not wanting to talk to him anymore.

"Hey?"

Guan Ren also answered the phone:

"Sister Qiaoyun."

"Where are you?"

"I was about to ask you the same thing. I was walking along and then I just couldn't see you anymore. I don't know where you went."

"Tsk, I'm watching the plates over there... I'll wait for you at the cashier."

Jingle Bell--

Just as Guan Ren hung up the phone, Gu Wancheng's phone rang.

"Young pear."

"Sister, are you still on the first floor?"

"Um…"

For some reason, Gu Wancheng felt reluctant to tell her sister that she was currently in the lounge with her deskmate, Guan Ren.

Gu Wancheng thought the reason was that she "didn't want her sister to know that Guan Ren was injured because of her."

Very reasonable.

"Go upstairs and wait for me. I'll be right up. I haven't bought my shower gel yet."

"okay."

------------

Shortly after, the Guan family, mother and son, carrying large and small bags, left the supermarket and went home.

"Hey? What happened to your hand?"

"My hands are fine."

Guan Ren held out the pig's trotter to Guan Qiaoyun and waved it, but Guan Qiaoyun slapped it away.
"My arm! How come there are so many bandages on it now?"

"I bumped into it. There was a potted needle-leaf plant in the supermarket, and I planted it in it. I accidentally cut myself a few times."

"what?"

Compared to such a bizarre experience, Guan Qiaoyun, as a mother, was naturally more concerned about her son's injuries:
"Is it serious? Has it been disinfected?"

"I asked the staff for alcohol to disinfect it. It wasn't serious to begin with; it was only a few centimeters deep, just a minor injury."

Guan Qiaoyun was slightly relieved upon hearing this. Guan Ren thought to himself that it was good that he had removed the gauze and other bandages, otherwise Guan Qiaoyun would have been even more worried.

"An injury is an injury, regardless of size. With all the bumps and bruises, what if such a beautiful face is covered in scars?"

"What you're saying means that if I'm not good-looking, I can just let my hair stay as it is? Sigh..."

Guan Ren feigned sadness:

"Mom, I didn't expect that you were attracted to my appearance."

"Ah."

This little rascal was clearly asking for a beating, but Guan Qiaoyun was carrying her things and didn't bother arguing with him, so she sneered:

"If I judged people by their appearance, I should have thrown you away when you were born."

"So vicious?"

It's said that a woman's heart is the most poisonous; Guan Ren was shocked:

"Baby Guan Ren is so cute, how could you bear to throw him away?"

"Cute my foot! Have you ever seen what a newborn baby looks like? Their face is all wrinkled and they're awful..."

Guan Ren recalled that it was indeed true; he had seen it on television.

……

"Sister Qiaoyun, I went out for a bit."

Back home, Guan Ren had barely settled in before he grabbed two bags and headed out again.

It's all food.

One of the packages contained black sesame paste and monkey head mushroom biscuits, which Guan Ren took directly to the guardhouse.

"uncle!"

Grandpa Lin was dozing off in his recliner, too lazy to even open his eyes:

"Hey kid, how long has it been since you came to play chess with me?"

"Grandpa, what you're saying is a bit rude. Aren't we young people all busy at the end of the year?"

"Damn it!" Old Man Lin cursed, standing up and glaring.

What the hell? I'm a man who's practically buried in the ground, and this brat is criticizing me for being "immature."

However, when he saw Guan Ren put a package on the table, Grandpa Lin decided not to argue with him.

"Guan Ren, what do you mean? Are you trying to bribe me?"

"What's there to bribe about a doorman like you..."

Guan Ren rubbed his nose:

"I was just thinking that you seem to spend every year of the New Year alone, and I've never seen you go back to your hometown. This year I've made it big, so I'm bringing you some New Year's goods."

"Wow, that's great, thanks."

There weren't many things, and Grandpa Lin patted the bag contentedly before sighing:
"If only I had potato chips and cola..."

"..."

Guan Ren was speechless at first.

But he quickly realized that although this thing was not something that elderly people would eat in China, Grandpa Lin was no ordinary old man; he had been to France when he was young.

In those days, potato chips and cola were rare commodities that must have been very popular in France, so Mr. Lin must have eaten quite a lot of them.

"Alright, stop complaining. It's good enough that we have it."

"Hey, are you saying that besides you, no one else is visiting me during the Lunar New Year?"

Guan Ren remained noncommittal.

"Grandpa, you can continue lying down. I have something to do."

After saying that, he picked up another bag and headed straight for Meteor Road.

……

Although Meteor Road is mainly a vegetable market, it gets very lively during the Chinese New Year.

Many people are waiting in front of a meat grinder to make sausages.

To be honest, it's a bit too late to make cured pork and sausages these past few days, so we probably won't be able to eat them during the Chinese New Year.

Therefore, most people who don't make their own products choose to buy ready-made ones.

Including An Shui Rou's family.

How could Guan Ren have known?

Because just a short distance ahead, there was a little kid carrying several bags of sausages and cured meat.

I hummed a New Year's tune as I walked.

……

As we all know, it wasn't just Andy Lau's "Gong Xi Fa Cai" that was released during the Lunar New Year holiday; "A Good Day" was also released.

That is, [the joyful drums beat out the festive spirit year after year].

This is the song that An Guoguo is humming right now.

However, as Guan Ren got closer, he felt that something was increasingly off.

"Happy mushrooms~ sprouting sticky bacteria~ Handsome Wu Dalang~ bringing sweet ham~"

"..."

Although An Guoguo will most likely inherit her mother's and sister's good voice in the future.

But Guan Ren still felt that this guy might have to say goodbye to singing from now on.

"An'an."

An Guoguo turned around, first looking at the large bag of snacks in Guan Ren's hand, then at Guan Ren himself, her eyes wide and round:
"Guan Ren, would you like to come to my house?"

Guan Ren lied:

"no."

An Guoguo completely ignored his answer:
"Come quickly, come find my mother! And my sister too!"

After she finished speaking, she took off running home, stumbling and staggering.

Guan Ren naturally knew that this guy's eagerness stemmed from his desire for the snacks.

But it doesn't matter.

Anyway, all these snacks he bought were for An Guoguo.

When he was in Sanya, he found out that An Ning's family would buy New Year's goods very late.

Guan Ren was thinking that he would buy more snacks for An Guoguo when he got back.

In this way, while making An Guoguo happy, it also saves An's family some money for New Year's goods, which can be considered as a small help to his good friend.

……

An Guoguo ran back, and a short while later, Guan Ren also arrived at [Ping An Fresh Braised Food].

An Shui Rou and her daughter An Ning were extremely busy at their stall.

If this were any other stall, earning one or two thousand a day would be no problem.

Unfortunately, An Shui Rou is too particular about using high-quality ingredients, which makes the cost too high, resulting in at least half the profit being lost.

What surprised Guan Ren most was that this trip inadvertently fulfilled a small dream of his.

"Guan Ren is here?"

"Guan Ren is here?"

Upon seeing Guan Ren, An Shui Rou and her daughter An Ning greeted him in unison. Their gentle and sweet voices were very soothing to Guan Ren's ears.
