No one understands rebirth better than me

Chapter 319 An Shui Rou is sick
When students are on winter break, the festive atmosphere of the Lunar New Year is usually getting stronger.

The speakers in the streets and alleys are back in full power and busy at work.

Besides the classic hits like "Congratulations on getting rich," various viral songs that were popular throughout 2012 also began to flood stores.

Popular songs like "Can't Afford to Get Hurt" and "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Trend" naturally take the lead.

Songs like "Those Years," which became wildly popular in 2011 along with the movie, are still going strong.

In addition, songs such as Xu Song's "Hallucination" and G.E.M.'s "Bubble" are also frequently played in various stores.

"It feels like I haven't heard these in ages."

I didn't realize it before, but now that I'm experiencing it again, I realize that 2012 really was a so-called "big year for the music scene".

This includes overseas as well.

Many popular works have been created in the United States.

For example, Rihanna's "Love of Weifang".

Wang Xinling's "Call Me Mayby" (Canada)

Ma Laowu's "Payphone"

FUN.'s "We Are Young"

……

Many of the melodies were very familiar. If Guan Ren hadn't suddenly heard them this year, he wouldn't have realized that these were actually songs from 2012.

Of course, when it comes to the absolute top stars of the year...

That's undoubtedly the incredibly catchy "Gangnam Style".

Just look at the online news to see how popular this song has become since last year.

Many primary and secondary schools have temporarily replaced their morning exercises with Gangnam Style for a period of time, hoping to stimulate students' interest.

[...My dad just killed him! ~Oh~Oh oh oh~...]

As Guan Ren walked down the street, he felt that the sound in his ears was almost constant.

I had just finished listening to it on this street when I turned the corner and it started playing again from another speaker.

Guan Ren originally just wanted to relax, but while he found the noise a bit noisy, he also got a little excited and wanted to go home and watch some exciting movies.

Before watching the movie, Guan Ren planned to buy some chicken feet or something to eat.

So, where can you buy it?

Of course, it's Guanren's only designated supplier of braised food: [Ping An Fresh Braised Food].

In fact, Guan Ren rarely eats braised dishes once winter arrives.

When it's cold, he prefers to eat all kinds of warm hot pot dishes.

But then I thought about it again.

You could buy some plum wine, heat it up, and drink it; that would taste quite interesting.

Although the locals have a specialty winter drink called "boiled beer".

Guan Ren wasn't particularly interested in that one, but he was intrigued by the "warm wine" in the rather classical "warm wine to kill Hua Xiong" story.

Green Ant New Distillery, red clay small stove.

It’s going to snow tonight. Can I have a drink with you?

Wouldn't it be wonderful to enjoy Bai Juyi's leisurely life in winter?

……

Ten minutes later, Guan Ren arrived near his destination.

Then, accompanied by a series of off-key singing sounds, a little girl was found randomly appearing on her loyal Meteor Road.

"Oh~ Muddy Muddy Grandpa~ I need to vent~"

"..."

An Guoguo's voice was so sweet and childlike that Guan Ren couldn't understand what she was singing on the first listen.

It wasn't until the second listen that I realized it was "The Viral Factor," which was also a huge hit last year.

It's mainly popular among elementary school students.

And An Guoguo is now a newly enrolled primary school student.

"An'an."

Guan Ren called out to her.

An Guoguo turned around:
"Guan Ren, you, um, hello."

"Oh?"

Guan Ren stroked her curly hair:
"That's good, at least you didn't ask me for food as soon as we met."

"Because I've grown up!"

An Guoguo was very proud, then glanced at the storefront of her house not far away, blinked her big eyes, and raised her little face to say to Guan Ren:
"Don't move from here, I'm going to get something."

"..."

Is this guy going to get some oranges?

Winter is the perfect season for eating oranges.

Guan Ren watched her little figure tumbling along, thought for a moment, and shook his head.

"The Back View" seems to be a text from junior high school. Anguo is only in first grade and hasn't learned that text yet.

Soon, Anguoguo ran back.

"Guan Ren! Guan Ren! Look!"

She skipped and hopped around, turned around, bent over, and stuck out her little bottom.

Actually, it was to show off the light yellow backpack he was carrying.

It's newer than the red one Guan Ren saw her carrying last time.

"My sister bought this for me~ Isn't it pretty?"

"Hmm, it looks quite nice. What about the old one?"

“My older sister took the old one.” Guan Ren was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

I used to hear that in poor families, older children would give their old clothes to younger children.

Now the roles are reversed; the younger sister is giving her older sister her old schoolbag.

"An'an."

Guan Ren smiled thoughtfully:

"You have a good older sister too."

"also?"

An Guoguo was once punished by her teacher this semester to copy pinyin, and this character was among them:
"Who else has a good older sister? Guan Ren, do you have an older sister?"

"Children should stop prying into adults' matters."

"Tsk, everyone says I've grown up..."

An Guoguo muttered in dissatisfaction.

But Guan Ren still noticed that her eyes kept glancing into his pockets.

"Give me your hand," Guan Ren said with a smile.

An Guoguo's eyes lit up, and she stretched out a small hand.

Then, after hesitating, he reached out another one, and held both of them together.

"You're asking for the moon!"

Guan Ren joked, but then noticed that the little girl's face actually turned red.

Ok…

Now that you mention it, she has indeed grown taller without realizing it, and even her waist is starting to show some definition...

Well, this thing really is growing up.

"Give."

Wow!

Guan Ren pulled out a bag of colorful Nanxi dried tofu.

It's the kind of thing you buy by weight in the supermarket.

It comes in barbecue flavor, pickled pepper flavor, five-spice flavor, spicy flavor...

"Guanren, you're so kind! No wonder your sister and mom like you so much!"

"What you said..."

Guan Ren gently pinched her little nose and then poked her cheek.

Although it may be related to her young age, the exceptionally soft texture clearly indicates that she inherited her mother's good skin.
"...What do you mean 'No wonder your sister and mother like me'? Don't you like me?"

"I... um... I'm alright..."

An Guoguo whimpered, her little face turning a little red again.

She started elementary school and learned a lot of things she didn't know before, such as that the word "like" shouldn't be used casually with boys.

Guan Ren is a boy.

Therefore, An Guoguo shouldn't lose her composure just because of a few packets of dried tofu.

"Is anyone here? I'd like to weigh some duck intestines."

A customer was asking about something at the stall ahead. An Guoguo ran over with a bunch of dried tofu, put the tofu on a small table next to her, and then stood on tiptoe to take down the plastic bag hanging on the stall cart and handed it to the customer.
"Here you go, install it."

"Ok?"

Guan Ren watched with curiosity as An Guoguo greeted customers, collected money, and even gave change, and couldn't help but marvel:

"Wow, An'an, you're doing great! You can watch the stall all by yourself now. Where are your sister and mom?"

"My sister took Mom to the hospital."

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Guan Ren frowned immediately:
"what happened?"

"Mom's tummy hurts."

After asking around, it turned out that the "hospital" that An Guoguo mentioned was just a small clinic on the next street.

An Shui Rou occasionally experiences stomach pain, so she went to get some medicine.

In response, Guan Ren directly called An Ning to ask her about it.

"Oh? You're in the store now?"

"So, how is Sister Shui Rou? Is it serious?"

"It's not serious, it's just an old problem."

"Shall I take a look?"

"No need, Mom just took her medicine and the pain is gone. We'll be back soon after she rests for a bit."

"Ok."

……

At the other end, inside a small clinic.

An Shui Rou sat in the inner room and saw her eldest daughter lift the blue curtain and come in. She asked:

"Is that Guoguo? Is something wrong at the store?"

"no."

An Ning shook her head, went to her mother's side, and handed her the dried gentamicin powder:
“It’s Guan Ren. He came to buy something and found out from Guo Guo that you were sick. He’s asking about you.”

"Oh, I see..."

An Shui Rou nodded in understanding, drank the powder, and a gentle blush rose to her face.

This medicine really works! I feel warm all over, from my stomach to my heart.
