No one understands rebirth better than me

Chapter 51 My parents are not at home today
In Jiangzhou County in 2011, many restaurants had a small TV hanging above the serving counter.

Smartphones weren't popular yet.

This kind of welfare facility is good for customers and operators.

When there is no business after dinner time, the chef and the little sister can watch TV for a while.

Although Guan Ren has never known how many consumers would actually stretch their necks to watch the TV while eating.

But at least, An Guoguo, who can't find a new Ant Electric for the time being, will keep staring at the TV in "Song Baozi".

"I said, if you want to watch TV, just come in and watch it."

“No seats.”

An Guoguo stood outside, talking as she pressed the core of the lighter used to shock ants, making a crackling sound.

Then from time to time, she would raise her big, twinkling eyes and glance at the uncle who was sitting opposite Guan Ren at the same table.

I don’t know if it was because the uncle was stared at too much, but he inexplicably sped up his eating speed.

One mouthful.

Two mouthfuls.

After making three half-baked dumplings, the uncle got up and left in a hurry.

"bring it on."

Guan Ren slapped the table:
“Now there’s room.”

Only then did An Guoguo go in.

Originally I was going to the opposite side of Guan Ren.

But after hesitating for a moment, the little brat still twisted his body and climbed onto the bench on Guan Ren's side.

"I want to sit next to Brother Guan Ren~"

She spoke in a childish and coquettish voice, and her fluffy hair swayed back and forth.

"An Guoguo, let me warn you first, even if you act good, there really won't be any buns today."

"why?"

An Guoguo was so shocked that the lighter core in her hand was pressed off-center and flew away.

"are you hungry?"

"Hungry."

An Guoguo nodded vigorously. Why was there even a need to ask this?

Guan Ren mercilessly exposed her:

"When you were squatting on the ground, I saw a half-opened chocolate bar in your pocket."

“That’s…that’s…”

An Guoguo looked around and saw a chubby little black dog on the street:

“That’s for the puppy…”

"The little puppy is almost as fat as you."

Guan Ren was not worried at all that An Guoguo would actually give the chocolate to the dog, because when she said this, she had carefully covered her pockets.

Judging from her expression, she wouldn't be willing to leave even if Roaring Sky Dog came.

"I'm not fat."

However, An Guoguo was still dissatisfied with Guan Ren's slander.

She secretly lifted her clothes and looked at her round belly:

"I just ate a lot of breakfast."

"You eat too much every day, so you get fat."

Guan Ren was actually just joking.

After all, children's bellies are naturally round.

An Guoguo is not fat, at most he just looks healthier than the average child.

His arms and legs are not like those of a real fat kid, with circles of flesh all over them, like the Michelin man.

But Guan Ren seriously suspected that if he continued to feed her buns every day, An Guoguo might really become a little fat girl.

"You're so full, and you have chocolate, you're not hungry at all, so I can't give you any today."

"What about my mother?"

"Your mother can eat it. You can bring it to her later, but I will watch her eat here to prevent you from stealing it."

"Oh...never mind..."

When Guan Ren said this, An Guoguo lost her temper, and her small figure looked a little melancholy:
"I am a child. You don't care about children, you only care about my mother."

"You don't need care. Your mother works so hard every day making braised dishes. She deserves more care than you."

As Guan Ren spoke, he also looked up into the distance.

【Ping'an Fresh Braised Meat】

This is the name of An Guoguo’s braised food shop.

The proprietress, Mama An, gets up around four or five every day. By now, her figure moving back and forth between the stall and the store must have been busy for at least two or three hours.

It’s really not easy…

Guan Ren also thought of his family.

In the past two days, he also learned a lot about An Guoguo's family from her, such as the fact that An Guoguo had never seen her father since she was a child.

It is said that the so-called father only stayed at home twice after marrying An's mother. Both times, he seemed to have completed a mission and gave birth to An Guoguo's sister and An Guoguo, and then disappeared completely.

According to An Guoguo's brief revelation, Guan Ren learned that the man seemed to have run away to the United States.

And what’s intriguing is that he ran away with another man.

This made Guan Ren think of the states in the United States where marriage between men is legal, and further pondered why An Guoguo's "father" only stayed at home twice. Sigh...

Anyway, she is also a single mother with bad luck...

Guan Ren took a bite of the bun with emotion. The rich juice was comparable to that of a graceful and beautiful woman.

……

[Student Li Ziming, your mother brought you some Wangzai milk~ Wow, your mother loves you so much~ Mother~~]

The exaggerated advertisement of Wangzai Milk started playing on TV, and An Guoguo ran away without knowing when.

After a while, he came back with a plastic bag in his hand.

There was a braised chicken leg inside, which smelled delicious.

"You still eat?"

"For you."

An Guoguo just swallowed, then pinched her nose and handed it to Guan Ren:

"My mother asked me to give it to you."

"?"

Guan Ren was startled and looked in the direction of [Ping'an Fresh Braised Food]. The proprietress was smiling at him. Her face without makeup was blessed with natural beauty and was still very beautiful.

"Mom said thank you for giving me buns these days and taking care of me."

An Guoguo stared at the chicken leg and recited the lines stiffly.

She said that it was her cleverness that impressed Guan Ren, so why didn't her mother believe her?

Guan Ren took a bite of the chicken leg.

Not to mention, he had already finished a basket of buns, but the aroma of the braised buns wrapped around his tongue, whetting his appetite, and he couldn't help but order another half basket.

Of course, there is still no place for An Guoguo.

Let’s wait until tomorrow when she doesn’t eat so much or doesn’t sneak in chocolate.

……

So Guan Ren continued to eat while An Guoguo continued to sit next to him and watch TV.

About five minutes later.

"Guan Ren, Guan Ren."

"Call me brother."

"elder brother."

An Guoguo called out obediently, and then continued to talk about business:
"Guan Ren, do you have a woman you like?"

The Chinese Paladin 3 was playing on TV, and she didn't know which part of the plot made her think of this question.

"An Guoguo, you are still young. Words like woman and man are not suitable for you."

Guan Ren is worried that An Guoguo will mature prematurely.

An Guoguo herself was not worried at all. She looked at the TV and then at Guan Ren:
"Then what should I say?"

"Say 'little friend', but little friends aren't really people yet, that suits you."

"Oh."

An Guoguo seemed to understand, rubbing her nose and staring at the screen:

"So, Guan Ren, do you have a...girl you like?"

Guan Ren was delighted and rubbed her naturally curly bob hair:
"Aren't you?"

"hey-hey…"

An Guoguo raised her little head, smiled shyly, then watched TV for a while. After a while, she realized that this was not what she wanted to ask.

"It's not a little girl, it's... um... a little girlfriend. Guan Ren, do you have a little girlfriend you like?"

Guan Ren nodded perfunctorily:
"Yes, I have."

"Do you have any girlfriend who likes you?"

Guan Ren thought for a moment:
“Maybe.”

An Guoguo pointed at Xuejian and Jingtian hugging each other on TV:
"So are you guys together?"

"No."

"why?"

"Because these things can't be rushed, just take your time. If you rush too much, it's hard to achieve two, three, or four things..."

Guan Ren continued to mumble perfunctorily, only subconsciously answering the little brat's precocious questions.

And the wandering thoughts were gradually drawn away by the soup in front of me.

To be honest, the shredded soup at [Song Baozi] is really delicious.

The bones used to make soup are actually beef bones. No wonder the store also sells beef buns and beef noodles.

Looking at the bone fragments floating in the soup base, and not feeling thirsty at all after drinking it, you can tell that it is not a mixture of thick soup ingredients, but is made from genuine beef bones.

There are scattered thin layers of oil floating on the surface of the soup, which, combined with the fragrance of one or two Sichuan peppercorns, makes it delicious and moist, both rich and refreshing.

Guan Ren finished the last half basket of buns, drank until there was not a drop left, and then left.

"Why don't we go to An Guoguo's house and buy some braised dishes at noon..."

After returning home, Guan Ren was thinking about this when he suddenly received a message from Luo Xiaobei on QQ.

[In the River Isle: Are you here? Let's play games today?]

Before Guan Ren could reply, the other party added another sentence.

[On the Island of the River: My parents are traveling and are not home today. I am the only one at home.]
