No one understands rebirth better than me

Chapter 312 Wangfu Stone

Watching anime after being reborn has its good points and its less good points.

The advantage is that watching the comments on the screen from God's perspective is quite interesting.

However, the downside is that some memes that haven't yet become famous receive a lukewarm response in the comments, making them rather boring.

For example, it's already December now. Guan Ren has been following JOJO since October, and when he looks back, he finds that when famous lines like "As expected of XX, he easily did what we can't do" appear, there are only a few comments in the live chat, mostly from fans of the original work.

It's hard to imagine that even when the official version of "Diamond Is Unbreakable" was introduced and the JoJo meme was at its peak, Guan Ren was extremely annoyed by the JoJo kids flooding his screen.

Now that I can't see the comments, it feels wrong, empty.

"Human nature is truly despicable..."

Thinking of this, Guan Ren looked up at a 45-degree angle and suddenly realized something.

But he forgot that he was on voice chat and playing League of Legends with his childhood friend, something they hadn't done in a long time.

Then, a girl's clear, sweet voice, filled with confusion, came through the earphones:
"You pig-head, are you talking in your sleep? What do you mean by 'humanity is cheap'?"

"I'm speaking from the heart. People want what they can't have, and they don't cherish what they have."

"Eh…?"

Luo Xiaobei's eyes lit up.

What do you mean?
This scumbag... does he not want to cherish Gu Youli anymore, and instead wants his childhood sweetheart?

Luo Xiaobei's voice involuntarily rose a notch:
Did you have a fight with Gu Youli?

"?"

Guan Ren was stunned. What did this have to do with anything?
"No."

"Oh…"

Luo Xiaobei's voice then fell back down.

"..."

Guan Ren was both amused and exasperated by Qingmei's undisguised reaction, and couldn't help but whisper:

"north."

"what…"

"You... really want me and Yuri to argue?"

"Feel sorry."

Luo Xiaobei's poker face remained stiff:
"I don't know any Youli, I only know Gu Youli."

"Uh... well, let's take the dragon, the enemy has respawned."

Forget it.

Guan Ren decided to keep a low profile.

Although time has calmed many intense emotions, things have changed.

But that doesn't mean you can get carried away and play with fire.

dong dong dong-

"Ren'er".

"Ok?"

Ever since Guan Qiaoyun thought her hooligan son was doing *that* in front of the computer, she has knocked on the door most of the time before entering Guan Ren's bedroom.

squeak-

As my mother, dressed in an office lady outfit, walked in and put her hair up while giving me instructions:
"We've cured too much bacon and sausage this year. Why don't you take some over to some of the aunties tomorrow?"

……

Many residents in this small county town cure and dry their own bacon and sausages for the Lunar New Year.

Of course, for some procedures, such as enemas, most people still bring their own meat to the market and have the vendors use machines to enema it.

After returning, they will be pickled and then sun-dried.

In previous years, Guan Qiaoyun was not strong enough to make much pickling, just enough for the mother and son to eat during the New Year.

Last year, because I missed the opportunity, I bought ready-made goods instead.

This year the timing was perfect, and Guan Ren couldn't bear to let Guan Qiaoyun keep busy.

So I decided to do it myself.

The ingredients are much more abundant than before.

Besides sausages and cured meat, there are also cured pork tongue, cured pork liver, cured chicken, and so on.

Since it was his first time doing this, Guan Ren accidentally got carried away and hung too much on the living room balcony and the balcony outside the guest room.

It seems like there's enough food for the mother and son to last until next year or even the year after next.

You can't keep consuming nitrites like crazy every day, can you?

So Guan Qiaoyun thought of giving some to her mother's friends, such as Liu Yan, and her colleagues at the department store with whom she had a good relationship.

……

"And give some to Xiao Bei too."

After Guan Qiaoyun finished speaking, Guan Ren's headphones almost deafened him:
"Thank you, Auntie!!!"

"hiss--!"

"?"

Guan Qiaoyun looked at her son strangely:

"what happened?"

"It's okay."

Guan Ren pressed the mute button:
"I was watching a movie when suddenly a female ghost screamed."

"Pooh!"

Luo Xiaobei, indignant, picked up a childhood photo of herself and her childhood sweetheart from the table and spat at Xiao Guanren. "You're the devil! You pig-headed pervert!"

--------

After lunch, Guan Ren took out the latest "Physics Essentials" book that his girlfriend had customized for him, did some practice questions, and also updated his "English Essentials" book at the same time.

Around 2 p.m., Guan Ren came to the balcony.

[A lion surveying its territory.jpg]

The ham and sausages looked incredibly heavy, practically covering the sky.

On the one hand, Guan Ren felt a great sense of accomplishment.

After all, this was the first time he had ever made cured meat and sausages himself.

"Chirp chirp~ Chirp~"

"?Go! Go! Go!"

On the other hand, they did do too much, and the key is that they don't even know how much the birds stole from them.

……

Because it's an old house, the balconies and windows all have awnings, and there are often steel security frames underneath the awnings.

Whenever it's time to dry cured meat, a long pole is used to tie it to the security frame, or it can be hung directly on the steel bars of the security frame, and then rows of cured meat and sausages can be hung outside the window to dry.

……

This method allows for good sun drying without taking up indoor space.

But the problem is that it attracts too many birds.

Guan Ren learned a lot about birds from a YouTuber called "A Dream Under Heaven," and also knew that birds need to look for food everywhere to survive the winter, and that cured meat drying in every household becomes their target.

Guan Ren was also very distressed by this.

Of course, it's not because I feel sorry for the bird.

It's because I feel sorry for the meat that's been painstakingly marinated and dried.

Quickly use the clothesline to bring the meat down.

After working for a long time, I found two pieces of meat and sausage that had been pecked at and were no longer edible.

But when packing, Guan Ren still packed the two pieces together.

"Soak it a little longer to remove the salt, then feed Tuantuan to Sister Shuirou..."

Four other bags were also packed.

For the two aunts, Luo Xiaobei and Gu Youli.

"Gu Youli?"

Guan Qiaoyun frowned slightly after seeing this:
"You've only been together for a short time, is it really that big of a deal...?"

The little rascal... He's only been here a year and he's already sending cured meat to people's houses...

Guan Qiaoyun didn't dare to think about what would happen in two more years!
Guan Qiaoyun is still carrying the psychological burden of her son having a girlfriend.

"Hehe, Mom."

Guan Ren chuckled and gently hugged her from behind:
"I'm not the kind of unfilial son who forgets his mother after getting a wife, you really don't need to be jealous..."

"Ah!"

Upon hearing this, Guan Qiaoyun's phoenix eyes widened, and she broke free from his arm:

"I'm jealous of that little girl?! You surnamed Guan, I think you haven't been beaten in a long time!"

"No, Mom, it's just that you shouldn't forget, Youli's older sister is my Chinese teacher. It wouldn't hurt for me to send her something, would it?"

"..."

Guan Qiaoyun fell silent after Guan Ren said that.

After a moment, he frowned and let out a muffled groan, too lazy to say anything more.

Guan Ren quickly carried the bags and went to Ping An Fresh Braised Food Shop. After taking out the portion for Tuan Tuan, he also took out a cured pig's trotter and a pig's tongue.

"Sister Shui Rou, I made this myself. You guys try it. If you like it, ask me for more. I made too much this year."

"You did it?"

An Shui Rou wiped her hands on her apron in front of the stall, took the apron and looked at it, and was very surprised.

I really don't know how capable this little man is.

Where is An Ning?

"I'm reviewing."

"Then I won't bother you any longer. You can give this notebook to her later."

Guan Ren handed the "Key Points of English" to An Shui Rou:

"I have other deliveries to make, so I can't stay any longer."

As Guan Ren spoke, he took out another tissue and gently wiped away the sweat from An Shui Rou's forehead, as well as a smudge of dirt that she didn't know where it had gotten off.

"Let's go, Sister Shui Rou."

"Um…"

Everything feels so natural now, compared to before.

An Shui Rou didn't refuse at all; she just smiled sweetly and watched Guan Ren walk away with gentle eyes.

Then Anguoguo, who appeared from next door, came over and happily showed off the new words she had learned from TV:

"Mom, you are... um, you look like a 'waiting-for-husband stone'!"

"?!"

An Shui Rou blushed, raised her eyebrows, and lifted her arm.

As expected, An Guoguo's little bottom got two smacks, and she ran away sullenly with a pout.
