Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

Chapter 162 Lovely Reduplication Words
The fifth day of the first lunar month.

"Fangfang, you're really good at playing cards." Zhao Lizhen and Ren Qunfang were holding hands and chatting in the yard, just like good friends who had known each other for many years.

"No way. I've been playing for many years, and you can already touch the cards after just three or four days of learning." Ren Qunfang sighed, thinking that the skills she had practiced for many years were learned by Zhao Lizhen in just a few days.

She couldn't help but sigh that the gap between people was really huge.

"Everyone in the village is asking if you and I are relatives." Zhao Lizhen covered her mouth and chuckled.

Because of Gu Qingshan's choice, the three women ended up looking very similar, and were mistakenly thought to be a family by the villagers.

Although she is younger than Ren Qunfang, she always feels that Ren Qunfang is like an innocent younger sister and very kind.

"This..." Ren Qunfang suddenly felt guilty when he heard this.

It would be best if the two families could become in-laws, but her bastard son is two-timing and she doesn't know who to choose.

The daughter of the Gu family is very nice, but in her heart she actually prefers Lin Ruoxi...

"what happened?"

Zhao Lizhen sensed something strange, as if her best friend was hiding something from her.

Ren Qunfang took a deep breath. She really wanted to beat up Xue Rui, but she knew it was useless...

She changed the subject: "Let's go to the neighbor's house to see the child. Her child is one month old today. It is said that he weighed more than ten kilograms when he was born. I have never seen a child that fat."

Zhao Lizhen was also surprised: "It's really hard to carry more than ten kilograms."

……

In front of Xue Rui’s house.

Gu Muxue and Xue Yao were playing with firecrackers on the side of the road.

Apart from a visit to his grandmother's house these days, he basically stayed in his hometown in the countryside, entertaining all the relatives and friends, which was very stressful.

"Xue Rui!" Qiu Mengze quietly walked behind Xue Rui and patted him on the shoulder.

Xue Rui was startled. When he heard the familiar voice, he instantly knew who was coming. He laughed and scolded, "Why are you here, kid?"

"I'll come to the banquet." Qiu Mengze said.

Xue Rui looked at the alley filled with dining tables and chairs, and his childhood memories were immediately brought back.

His neighbors in the village were Qiu Mengze's relatives. Qiu Mengze would occasionally come to their village, and that's how the two met. In the end, they found out that they were attending the same school, and their relationship became closer and closer.

So it’s actually nothing strange to occasionally see Qiu Mengze in the village.

"School is about to start again." Qiu Mengze was frowning. The days in the third year of high school were too hard to endure.

"Qiu Mengze?" Gu Muxue asked in surprise. How come she could meet classmates here?

Qiu Mengze was stunned: "Gu Muxue?"

He didn't recognize her at first because Gu Muxue was wearing a smart sportswear, which was very different from her usual style.

And what was Gu Muxue holding in her hand? A firecracker? Was that something a goddess should play with?
"Xue Rui, why is she here?" Qiu Mengze asked in a low voice.

"Mu Xue is from the next village. She and her mother came to visit my house today." Xue Rui said with a smile.

Qiu Mengze looked at Xue Rui with admiration. Isn't this just meeting the parents?

"Where is Lin Ruoxi?" Qiu Mengze asked in a low voice.

"Speak softly and communicate in dialect." Xue Rui said in a low voice.

Xue Yao is two years younger than him. Xue Jianfeng's training method was different, so she was exposed to high-end circles in the city. She could only understand a little bit of the dialect, but she couldn't speak it herself.

As for Gu Muxue, she didn't understand anything at all and could only judge based on her feeling.

In addition, the dialect Xue Rui spoke was from an older generation, and many of the nouns had not been used for many years. Even Qiu Mengze, who came from a rural background, had to react before he could understand, so Xue Yao and Gu Muxue were completely confused.

Gu Muxue felt that the two people did it on purpose, just like an encrypted call, she couldn't understand anything at all.

She can speak English, Japanese, Portuguese, and a little Korean, but she doesn't know the village dialect...

She suddenly felt as if she was being excluded by those two people.

"Xiao Rui, teach me the dialect." Gu Muxue walked forward and said.

The two were stunned when they heard Gu Muxue's request. Before Xue Rui could speak, Qiu Mengze's eyes widened: "You want to learn dialect?"

In his mind, he imagined a high-ranking rich lady communicating with him in the local dialect...

Qiu Mengze and Xue Rui looked at each other, understood each other's thoughts, and couldn't help laughing.

"Mu Xue, are you sure you want to learn?" Xue Rui said with a smile.

He knew that Gu Muxue had developed an outstanding talent for languages ​​because of her long years abroad and the excellent educational resources she had.

But it is another matter when it comes to dialects. Although Hedong City is a city in Shanxi Province, it does not belong to the Jin language area. The southern Shanxi dialect is a mixture of dialect usages from multiple regions...

If you don’t have the habit of living here since childhood, it is difficult to learn the pronunciation of certain words, because there is no such sound in Mandarin...

Xue Rui decided to teach Gu Muxue something simpler.

"Mu Xue, have you seen this table? It's pronounced as 'table table' in the local dialect." Xue Rui pointed to a chair and said, "This is called 'yi yi'."

"Table? Chair?" Gu Muxue followed.

"Right." Xue Rui nodded with a smile. It's always cute when girls say reduplicated words.

Qiu Mengze was greatly shocked, thinking that Xue Rui was truly a talented person, as he taught nothing else but reduplication of words.

Gu Muxue felt that she was fooled by Xue Rui, just like she was being tricked into acting cute.

However, she found that Xue Rui was the only one who was holding back his laughter, Qiu Mengze looked shocked, and Xue Yao was lost in thought.

Is Xue Rui really teaching her?
She was a little unsure, so she turned to ask Xue Yao: "Yaoyao, is your brother lying to me?" Xue Yao thought about it and realized that what her brother said was right. It was indeed pronounced that way in the dialect, but she didn't feel anything when she heard others say it.

But Gu Muxue pronounced it in standard Mandarin, as if she was acting like a spoiled child...

"My brother didn't lie to you." Xue Yao answered truthfully.

The villagers spoke poor Mandarin, and Gu Muxue spoke poor dialect...

Xue Yao felt that this world was too magical.

Xue Rui grinned, pointed at the hat on Xue Yao's head and said, "This is called a hat."

Afterwards, Gu Muxue's mind was filled with various reduplicated words. A wooden stick was called a stick, a box was called a box, and a wardrobe was called a cabinet...

She was very skeptical in her heart. Where did so many repetitive words come from?

"Xue Rui, it's almost time to start the meal." Qiu Mengze said.

"Come on, I'll take you to the village for a banquet." Xue Rui said with a smile. His family was also invited, so it was no big deal to bring one more person.

"Can I go too? Do you want to make a gift?"

Gu Muxue hesitated for a moment and took out a thick stack of cash: "This is all I brought with me when I went out. Do you want to go home and get some…"

Xue Rui's eyes twitched: "In the countryside, a hundred yuan is enough as a gift."

Qiu Mengze took a deep breath and thought to himself, the baby was only one month old and his aunt had only given him two thousand. How much was Gu Muxue, an outsider, going to give?

"What can one hundred dollars do?" Gu Muxue asked doubtfully, wondering if Xue Rui was lying to her again.

"Then it's two hundred." Xue Rui smiled and took two red bills from Gu Muxue's hand and walked towards the place where gifts were collected.

As a result, the accountant asked him what his name was.

Xue Rui thought about it and felt that it was not appropriate to use his own name or Gu Muxue's name, nor was it appropriate to use the elders' name. They would not have any contact with this family in the future.

With the improvement of education level, the new generation rarely stays in rural areas after growing up. The social relationship based on human relationships in rural areas is becoming weaker and weaker, and finally there is no human touch at all.

Finally, Xue Rui said, "Write about Qiu Mengze, up to one thousand."

"Wow? Relatives, right?" the old man exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, relative." Xue Rui took out another eight hundred yuan, making a total of one thousand.

It is not appropriate for a relative to give a few hundred yuan, because the money will eventually flow back to his childhood friend anyway.

When returning to the rural banquet, Xue Rui discovered that Gu Muxue had reserved a seat for him. He sat on Gu Muxue's left.

Gu Muxue is left-handed and doesn’t want to “fight” with others when sitting together, so she doesn’t have any psychological burden when sitting with Xue Rui.

The food had not yet been served, Xue Rui picked up a cup and said, "This is called a cup."

Gu Muxue couldn't help it, thinking that Xue Rui was definitely playing a trick on her. Her mind was full of repetitive words, as if she was acting like a spoiled child to Xue Rui.

Just as she was about to ask, she heard the burly man who was drinking at the next table shout, "Switch to a bigger bowl, this small cup is not enough."

Gu Muxue laughed out loud. Such a big man actually said "small cup".

She thinks dialects are cute too.

However, Xue Rui raised another small plate: "Mu Xue?"

"Don't say it, I know." Gu Muxue was like a primary school student rushing to speak in class. Before Xue Rui could open his mouth, she hurriedly answered: "Die Die!"

"Hey!" Xue Rui responded.

Everyone at the table burst into laughter instantly. This little girl from outside was being taken advantage of without even realizing it.

Gu Muxue reacted quickly. She realized that she was at a disadvantage and pinched Xue Rui's leg under the table: "Isn't this called leg leg?"

"No, my legs are called legs." Xue Rui gritted his teeth and kicked the table leg: "This is called legs and legs."

"I don't want to learn it anymore." Gu Muxue said angrily. Her dialect had no rules at all and Xue Rui would take advantage of her.

After a while, the dishes came up one after another, mostly local dishes.

Gu Muxue picked up the chopsticks. Facing the table full of dishes, she didn't know which one to pick up. She saw the cooking environment, which was in the alley at the door, next to the ditch...

She didn't know if eating this would give her a stomachache.

"Eat, the sanitary conditions are no worse than those in restaurants outside." Xue Rui picked up some dishes for Gu Muxue.

"Why?" Gu Muxue was puzzled. It didn't look hygienic no matter how she looked at it.

"These are all folks and relatives from the village who are having dinner. Even though it's outdoors, if someone gets sick, the host will be disgraced for the rest of his life. Didn't you see that the host has been supervising the chef in cooking?" Xue Rui explained.

The banquets in the village may not be very delicious, but the hygiene conditions are definitely up to standard. From the ingredients to the chefs who cook, everything is in the public eye, and no one dares to tamper with them. It is many times better than the unscrupulous restaurants outside.

"Mu Xue, let me teach you a little common sense in life. When you travel to other places, if you want to eat local food, you can go to the village for a banquet and give a few hundred yuan as a gift. It is cheap and authentic." Xue Rui said with a smile.

Gu Muxue thought about it and it seemed to be true. She took a tentative bite and it tasted good.

"You eat too." Gu Muxue reached out and picked up a few pieces of food for Xue Rui.

Gu Qingshan was about to pick up Gu Muxue to go home for dinner, but he unexpectedly saw his own daughter having a banquet in the village.

"There are some benefits to playing with this kid."

Gu Qingshan smiled with relief. How could his daughter come to such a place before?
But when he saw his daughter picking up food for Xue Rui, he felt sour in his heart...

“Has Xue’er ever picked up food for me?” Gu Qingshan asked.

Zhao Lizhen on the side said: "Yes."

“Really? Why don’t I remember?” Gu Qingshan was a little confused.
