Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

Chapter 29 Diary
The reason why he felt so heavy was not entirely because of Lin Ruoxi's life experience.

When Xue Rui was only twelve years old, his mother couldn't sign him up for the official version of "Super Boy", so she found a poor mountain village and his mother found the poorest family, and gave him more than 10,000 yuan in "lodging fees" to let him participate in the live-action version of "Super Boy".

The food that family ate was so bad that it could be described as eating bran and vegetables. Xue Rui could not leave the mountains, so he could only think of ways to improve the food by himself.

In fact, it’s nothing more than going to the mountains to catch some rabbits or find some fruits to eat. If you can’t find any, the chickens in the village will be in trouble.

Of course, the most convenient way is to go to someone’s home with better conditions and get some free food and drinks.

If someone's son comes back and brings a lot of food from outside, it will be the real New Year.

One day, Xue Rui learned that the son of Old Liu at the entrance of the village had returned, and he hurried over to say hello and see if he could get anything.

As a result, before he even entered the door, he heard a dissatisfied voice coming from the room:
"When are you going to find medicine for your son? The boss only approved seven days of leave, and I even included the time for the funeral."

"Oh~" Old Liu sighed heavily.

"Don't waste time. The round trip ticket costs several hundred yuan."

……

Xue Rui felt that the atmosphere was not right, so he did not go in.

However, the next day, white ash was sprinkled in front of every household's door.

This is a rural custom. When someone dies, ashes must be scattered in front of the door.

All the villagers went to the banquet, and Xue Rui's food also improved.

At the funeral, Old Liu's son laughed happily and drank with the people around him.

Xue Rui felt a chill in his heart. How did Old Liu die?

Old Liu gave him persimmon cakes a few days ago, so how come he was gone when his son came back?
But his son, as if he had calculated the date in advance, was still talking about a funeral.

After making inquiries from many sources, he learned that elderly people in rural areas have many sons, such as "medicine sons", "rope sons", and "well sons".

The medicine son is the pesticide bottle, and the rope son is the hemp rope...

Some elderly people are afraid of being a burden to their children, so they find these outside "sons" for themselves.

Some elderly people were forced by their own sons.

……

Lin Ruoxi stood in front of the yard, her little face washed clean and a slight smile on her lips.

"Well, let's eat." Xue Rui felt much better. He reached out and lifted the corner of Lin Ruoxi's mouth:

"Smile more, I love watching."

Lin Ruoxi's body was stiff, and she stood at the door for a long time before going in.

Xue Rui walked into the living room and what caught his eye was an incandescent bulb. The power was not high and it could barely illuminate the room.

On the front wall of the room was a portrait of a great man, with a table and an incense burner underneath, as well as black and white portraits of two men.

One is an old man, and the other is a middle-aged man with handsome features.

The former should be Lin Ruoxi's grandfather, and the latter is Lin Ruoxi's father.

I have to say, this bastard is pretty damn handsome.

"No wonder he can find a wife even though he lives in such a shabby house." Xue Rui muttered to himself.

Lin Ruoxi's father died in a car accident two years ago. The compensation from the party at fault was just enough to pay off his gambling debts, leaving nothing behind.

"Where's the photo of your mother? She should be very beautiful too." Xue Rui asked.

Lin Ruoxi shook her head gently: "My mother died when she gave birth to me. I heard from the villagers that my mother was a fool that my father bought for 5,000 yuan."

Xue Rui remained silent, thinking to himself that he was such a beast, why was he asking this for no reason.

No wonder the villagers didn’t mention Lin Ruoxi’s mother. Maybe they were afraid that he would look down on Lin Ruoxi.

However, when Lin Ruoxi was at home, her state was completely different from that at school. Not only did she show her face openly, she was also no longer nervous when speaking.

Perhaps it was this small mud house that gave her a sense of security.

"Hurry up and sit down to eat. You are the first classmate Xixi brought home." The old lady pulled Xue Rui to sit down.

The food on the table was simple, a pot of stewed chicken, a plate of stir-fried vegetables, and a large bowl of tomato and egg noodles as the staple food. Xue Rui picked up the chopsticks, tapped them on the table a few times, scooped up the noodles and ate.

"Hmm?" Xue Rui's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Student Xue, is it not to your liking?"

Lin Ruoxi was a little nervous. She had already peeled the tomatoes, but she didn't know why Xue Rui still had this reaction.

"No, it's delicious." Xue Rui said from the bottom of his heart.

The original food is different. The eggs are from domestic hens, and the tomatoes are different from the city varieties. The skin falls off easily, and the dough is kneaded by beautiful girls themselves.

He took another piece of chicken with chopsticks and it tasted very good. Although it was not as good as the one cooked by his chef, Xue Rui felt that it was due to lack of seasoning. In terms of pure ingredients, this chicken was better than the one in his restaurant.

After all, more than an hour ago, the chicken was still running on the ground.

Dahuang sat at the table, his saliva almost dripping onto the ground.

Xue Rui suddenly remembered that this guy looked down on him before.

He held a piece of meat between his legs and was about to tease Da Huang, probing it lightly on Da Huang's nose, ready to pull it away the moment Da Huang tried to take it away.

Unexpectedly, Dahuang had no intention of taking the meat and just stared at Xue Rui.

"It's boring."

Xue Rui loosened his chopsticks and the meat fell to the ground. Da Huang then wolfed down the chicken meat, making a crunching sound in his mouth as he swallowed the chicken meat along with the bones.

Seeing how Dahuang was eating, Xue Rui's appetite also opened up, and he almost ate half a chicken by himself.

He gnawed on the meat, Dahuang ate the bones, and Lin Ruoxi kept picking up meat for him, forming a peaceful and harmonious picture.

Xue Rui knew that Lin Ruoxi had specially prepared this chicken for him. This silly girl had a simple mind. The more he ate, the happier Lin Ruoxi would be.

After dinner, Xue Rui walked into the room where he would sleep tonight. He felt inexplicably excited.

Who knew that this was completely different from the beautiful girl’s boudoir in his imagination.

There were no pink costumes, no dolls, and the sheets were plain, just like in a man's room.

The most attractive thing is the awards on the wall.

From elementary school to high school, Lin Ruoxi received many awards every year. These awards covered several walls and covered the original color of the walls.

"These were posted by grandma." Lin Ruoxi explained.

"My entire life experience combined is not as much as half of your wall." Xue Rui sighed.

Most of the award certificates are from kindergarten, the kind that everyone gets, and there’s no value in sticking them on.

Lin Ruoxi's award certificates are all for first place in various exams, and their value is completely on a different level.

"This is a toothbrush, toothpaste, and..." Lin Ruoxi unpacked the toiletries and placed them neatly on the small table where she did her homework.

"Actually, there's no need to buy them. It's a waste of money. Except for the toothbrush, we can both use the same one." Xue Rui said with a smile.

Lin Ruoxi slowly turned her head and looked at Xue Rui in surprise.

"What? You didn't expect that I am such a good and frugal person?" Xue Rui said shamelessly.

"I...I'm going to wash the dishes." Lin Ruoxi stuttered again.

After Lin Ruoxi left, Xue Rui wandered around the room.

There was a small TV at the head of the bed, about ten inches in size, and it was black and white with knobs.

"If I were to go back to this time, I would think I was reborn in the 80s."

Xue Rui lay on the kang, wanting to feel the place where Lin Ruoxi had slept.

As a result, he tossed and turned, but still felt uncomfortable. The kang was too hard with too little padding.

Suddenly, he felt that there was a uneven spot under him. He subconsciously lifted the mattress and saw a diary hidden underneath.

"Should I watch it or not?" Xue Rui was very conflicted.
