Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

Chapter 133 Aren’t We in the Same Group?
“Mu Xue is not at home, come and play another day.” Gu Qingshan said, glancing outside the door.

"Okay, Uncle Gu, Uncle Liu, I'll leave first." Xue Rui was not a tactless person. He said hello and walked out.

Xue Rui could tell that Gu Qingshan had mentioned him to his colleagues at work and even knew about his recent income, which showed that he was quite concerned about him making games.

He then thought of how his father had also been secretly cared for by Gu Qingshan...

He wondered if Gu Muxue’s tsundereness was inherited from Gu Qingshan?
There were kids setting off firecrackers in the neighborhood. Xue Rui smelled the faint smell of gunpowder and suddenly felt a sense of urgency and pressure in his heart. He thought for a while and wondered if there was anything he had forgotten.

This is the feeling of awkwardness that adults feel when facing the holidays.

But he suddenly remembered that he was just a high school student now and there was nothing to worry about. Even if he made a mistake or missed something, no one would care.

People are always particularly tolerant towards children.

Xue Rui returned home and volunteered to install red lanterns at home and clean the house with his mother.

In fact, the nanny had almost finished cleaning before the holiday, they were just doing it for show, a sense of ritual.

Every time Xue Jianfeng returned home, he would see Xue Rui looking for work for him to do. He didn't know what he was looking for to feel a sense of existence.

In the next few days, Xue Rui even went to his hometown in the countryside and posted couplets at his grandparents' house...

On New Year’s Eve, at Xue Rui’s home.

"Xiao Rui has done a lot of work in the village this year. The child has grown up." Xue Rui's grandmother called Xue Jianfeng.

"Haha, that's it."

"Mom, we're leaving now."

Xue Jianfeng hung up the phone cheerfully and patted Xue Rui on the head: "You little bastard, you are being so attentive to me for no reason. Tell me, what do you want?"

"Dad, how could you miss me like this? Can't I just feel sorry for my grandparents?"

Xue Rui asked loudly, why couldn't his father think positively?

Does he do good things with a purpose?

"Do you want some pocket money?" Xue Jianfeng asked.

"No, I won't be spending the New Year at home this year. I'll be back in the village on the second day of the New Year."

He did have a purpose. No one knows a son better than his father. Xue Jianfeng guessed it right.

Today is New Year's Eve, which is also Lin Ruoxi's birthday, and he wants to spend the New Year with Lin Ruoxi.

Xue Rui felt that Lin Ruoxi not only had a miserable life, but was also extremely unlucky.

My mother died young, my father is a scumbag, and my birthday happens to be on New Year's Eve.

New Year’s Eve is a day when we say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, and it is a day full of anticipation for the new year. Who would care about this girl’s birthday?

The villagers only celebrate their birthdays according to the lunar calendar, and he has also agreed with Lin Ruoxi that he will only celebrate his birthday according to the lunar calendar.

As for Lin Ruoxi's mother's death anniversary? Good Friday? Xue Rui didn't care.

Lin Ruoxi has never even met her mother, so where does the affection come from?
She had asked the old lady about this a long time ago. Lin Ruoxi only burned incense and placed some fruits on the memorial tablet during the Chinese New Year.

In fact, this was something she learned from the villagers. Lin Ruoxi didn’t even know the significance of burning incense.

"You little bastard, where are you going during New Year's Day? Who doesn't celebrate New Year?" Xue Jianfeng kicked him angrily.

Xue Rui dodged and said, "We have a large group of relatives. We have been visiting relatives until the sixth day of the New Year. If I miss one day, no one will remember me."

Ren Qunfang heard the two people arguing and came out to listen.

When she learned that Xue Rui was going out on New Year's Eve, she immediately understood, and she also remembered that Lin Ruoxi's birthday was today.

"Jianfeng, let Xiaorui go. Don't we play mahjong in the village anyway?" Ren Qunfang said.

She felt like every year was the same. Xue Rui was at home every day recently, so this day wouldn't make a difference.

But Lin Ruoxi is alone and helpless, so it’s a good thing to have Xue Rui accompany her.

"Wife, why are you on his side? Aren't we in the same group?" Xue Jianfeng was confused.

"Who is in cahoots with you?" Ren Qunfang frowned.

She wanted Lin Ruoxi to be her daughter-in-law, and Xue Jianfeng wanted Gu Muxue to be his daughter-in-law, but their goals were inconsistent.

Xue Rui is the most shameless one, he wants both of them.

But Xue Rui made time to spend the holiday with Lin Ruoxi, which was thoughtful.

If she had to take sides at home this year, she would still side with her son.

Xue Jianfeng opened his mouth and then closed it again.

Since his wife had spoken, Xue Jianfeng did not refute. He said unhappily, "Get lost!"

Xue Jianfeng suddenly felt a little lost, and felt that his status in the family had dropped a little.

"Xiao Rui, come here." Ren Qunfang waved at Xue Rui.

She took out a few red envelopes from her bag.

After thinking about it, he took out the money from several red envelopes and put them together into a thick big red envelope, which contained about four or five thousand yuan.

She whispered, "This is the New Year's money for Xixi."

Then he randomly gave Xue Rui a few red envelopes, each containing 500 yuan: "This is yours, use it to buy Xixi something delicious."

Xue Rui had a question mark on his face: "Mom, why are you like this?"

It turns out that he was able to receive thousands of yuan in New Year's money this year thanks to Lin Ruoxi.

"Don't want it? Don't let me take it away." Ren Qunfang said with a smile.

"Yes!" Xue Rui snatched the red envelope.

……

After going out, Xue Rui went straight to the restaurant.

He ordered a small cake in advance and stored it in the refrigerator in the restaurant's kitchen.

In the small city of Hedong, if you don't buy things before the Chinese New Year, most of the stores will be closed until the fifth or sixth day of the Chinese New Year.

He wanted to bring the cake directly over, but then he thought it didn't make much of a sense of ceremony. Lin Ruoxi hadn't celebrated her birthday in so many years, so something so simple would be a bit too perfunctory.

Just as he was struggling on the road, he saw a stall selling fireworks in the nearby children's park.

These days, firecrackers are sold everywhere, but you won't be able to buy them in the future. "Would you like to buy some fireworks, young man? You won't be able to buy them after today," the woman said.

Xue Rui smiled and said, "You're right. Who will set off fireworks after today? Who are you going to sell them to?"

"We bought too much. If you really want it, I'll give you the cost price." The woman saw that Xue Rui was not easy to fool, so she became a little more sincere.

As it was getting dark, if we couldn’t sell it out at this time, no one would buy it.

Fireworks are also difficult to store as they will deteriorate if they get damp.

"Mom, I want this." said a little boy, pointing at the fireworks stall.

"What are you buying? You just know how to spend money recklessly!" the woman scolded.

"Big sister, it's New Year's Day, buy some toys for your children." said the stall owner.

"It's you stall owners who are corrupting the kids."

"..."

"Well... I'll buy them all." Xue Rui waved his hand and bought all the fireworks.

He wanted to take Lin Ruoxi to set off fireworks, which were just perfect for the kids to play with.

"Really? I have about 500 yuan here, and you just need to give me an extra 100 yuan for travel expenses." The woman said in surprise.

"I won't bargain with you during the New Year. I'll give you a lucky number of 660. Sell me the cart as well."

"This……"

Xue Rui argued with the woman for a while and finally bought the item along with her cart.

"Little friend, this pile is all yours."

Xue Rui gave all the firecrackers that could explode and make noise to the little boy. He didn't want to play with these things with Lin Ruoxi.

If you only buy fireworks, the price will probably be about the same as buying the whole package, so it’s better to buy the whole package.

By the way, it can also give the little boy a happy Spring Festival.

The little boy smiled happily: "Thank you, brother!"

"Thank you." The little boy's mother also said with a smile.

Xue Rui smiled helplessly. He thought it was for the safety of the child, but it turned out that he really didn't want to spend the money.

He pushed the cart to the convenience booth.

The only ones who remain open 24 hours a day during the Chinese New Year are the police officers on duty.

"Uncles, thank you for your hard work. You are still serving the people during the New Year." Xue Rui put several packs of cigarettes he bought on the table.

"We can't accept it." The young policeman said with a serious face, and was about to give the cigarette back to Xue Rui.

However, Xue Rui had already left the convenience booth. He pointed to a large cardboard box and said, "Uncle policeman, I'll put the fireworks at the door and come to get them in the evening."

"Don't worry, no one dares to come here to steal things."

The middle-aged policeman smiled and opened a pack of cigarettes and lit it.

"Master, isn't that right..." the young policeman asked tentatively.

"You are really stupid. Why do you care about these things during the holidays? You are worse than that kid just now."

The middle-aged policeman exhaled a puff of smoke and put all the cigarettes into his pocket.

"How can you compare me with him?"

"Even if he doesn't give us cigarettes and just leaves the things at our door, do you still have to watch over them for him?" asked the middle-aged policeman.

The young policeman was stunned for a moment. It was indeed true.

"Did he give you a chance to refuse?"

The middle-aged policeman stopped at the right point. This is how you deal with people. It's enough to understand it in your heart. There's no need to explain it in detail.

People who don't understand the atmosphere will always make everyone unhappy.

He was afraid that his apprentice would not be able to find a wife in the future because of his personality.

The middle-aged policeman lit another cigarette, took a few puffs and put it into his apprentice's mouth.

"Master, I don't smoke."

"You never know if you'll get it right after smoking."

The young policeman thought about it and realized that people always said this to him.

"Oh, then I'll try... ahem..."

……

Lin Ruoxi's home.

"Xixi, why do you have to cook so many dishes for the two of us?" the old lady advised.

If Xue Rui, the foodie, hadn't come, her granddaughter would have to eat leftovers every day for several days.

"I……"

Lin Ruoxi also thought that Xue Rui would not come, so she would definitely stay at home with her family during the New Year.

But she kept thinking, what if Xue Rui came?
So she prepared a lot of dishes in advance so that she could eat them as soon as Xue Rui arrived.

Xue Rui hadn't been here for many days, so she asked Xue Rui on QQ.

Xue Rui’s answer was that his family was very busy during the New Year holidays, so he asked her to take care of the game matters.

So, she moved her computer to the window to work every day and looked downstairs from time to time.

She couldn't explain what was going on. She knew Xue Rui would not come, but it seemed like just taking a look downstairs could give her life more expectations.

"Xixi, don't worry about him, the Spring Festival Gala is about to begin." said the old lady.

"Oh, I have another fish that will be ready to cook."

Suddenly, there was a "bang bang bang" sound from the door.

Dahuang also cried out.
