Gu Pei reborn

In the end, Gu Pei did not go to Cheng Lin Shaojun's dinner party.Just two days before the dinner, Gu Pei bid farewell to Chen Yan, and followed his parents on the way back home.

During the Spring Festival travel season, even more than ten years ago, the trains were very crowded, and the air was mixed with the smell of instant noodles, wine and foot odor. Gu Pei smelled it and felt dizzy and uncomfortable. He wanted to open the window, but there was a person sitting next to him. An old lady in her sixties; she wants to wash her face, but the aisle is also full of people and luggage.So Gu Pei had no choice but to drink two sips of water and lean on the seat with his eyes closed.Along the way, both Gu's father and Gu's mother seemed preoccupied, both frowning and unwilling to speak, Gu Pei was worried but didn't know what to say.In his previous life, when he was in junior high school, he didn’t seem to come back to his hometown. Although he had already decided to change something when he was reborn, what he did had nothing to do with the people in his hometown. Thinking about the faces of those people, thinking about Thinking of his parents' ugly looks, he always felt that something bad would happen this time.

My hometown is in a mountain corner. After getting off the train, and then taking the bus from the city to the county, and then from the county to the village, Gu Pei felt that his heart was severely stimulated.The narrow asphalt road has long been crushed by overweight cars, and the road is curved. This old car is driving on it like rice in a dustpan is being lifted up, one up and one down, Gu Pei I feel like my heart is going to shatter.

Finally got out of the car in the countryside. Gu Pei stood at the door of the car looking at the muddy street and didn't know how to get his foot down. However, when the people behind pushed him, he stepped into the mud, and the red mud splashed on his shoes and trousers. His face darkened immediately.When I came here in my previous life, the street had already been paved with concrete. I never thought it would be so rotten now.

"Okay, what are you doing with a stinky face? The road you will walk in a while will be worse than this." Seeing Gu Pei's expression, Gu's father patted his head and laughed. The older this kid is, the more he likes to pretend to be old. Gu's father didn't criticize him for his disgusting appearance.

"Do you want to eat something before leaving?" Gu Ma asked while looking at the rice noodle shop by the street.

"Yes." Papa Gu nodded, then walked into the store with luggage in one hand and Gu Pei in the other.

After eating, Gu Ma wiped her mouth and asked, "Is no one coming to pick us up?"

"... Mmm." Gu's father took a sip of the vinegar soup provided by the store for free, his eyes also darkened.

"Oh, um, let's go." Gu Ma sighed, with a hint of helplessness in her tone.

"Ah."

Gu Pei quietly followed behind her parents, watching the two stepping on the muddy ground with big and small bags, her eyes were astringent, and she felt that her heart was almost like the mud under her feet, and she only fell heavily.

Gu Pei has never walked such a bad road. There are large and small mud puddles along the way, and sometimes he can't get out after stepping in. After walking for only a few minutes, his shoes and trousers can no longer see the original color. Walking, Gu Pei even heard the gurgling sound produced by the friction between the water in the shoes and the feet. The chill quickly seeped into the whole body from the feet, and Gu Pei would tremble involuntarily as he walked.

Grandma's house is a house with earthen walls, and the courtyard dam is also earthen. As soon as the three of them set foot on the courtyard dam, they left a few footprints, and then Gu Pei heard an old but sharp female voice—you evildoers!And trampled the old woman's courtyard dam...

Hearing this, Gu Pei's eyes turned red, and even Gu's father and mother trembled.This is what the elders who haven't seen for a long time should say to the younger generation. Since you don't want to see them, why call them back?

Gu Pei's grandma is the kind of person who is very strong at first glance. Even though her face is covered with wrinkles now, her eyes are stern and ruthless.

"Mom, this is a little thought from us, you take it first." Father Gu handed the New Year's goods he bought earlier to grandma.

"Grandma." At this time, Gu Pei also stepped forward and called out. She didn't like her parents in the first place. If she was not polite, she might say that her parents couldn't educate their children like in her previous life.

"Yeah." Grandma glanced at Gu Pei and nodded, then retracted her eyes and took the things in Gu's father's hand and put them on the ground, and said calmly, "There is a fire in the main room, you go to roast." After finishing speaking, she turned and went into the room, Don't even look at them.

"Well... Mom is like this, don't think too much about it." Gu's father said to Gu's mother as he walked towards the main room.

"I know." Gu's mother twitched the corners of her mouth reassuringly, and then said, "Go to the second brother's house to see if there are any shoes that Xiaopei can wear, and borrow a pair. The child's shoes are all wet."

"Yeah." Papa Gu nodded, looked at the silent Gu Pei, patted his head and walked towards another house not far away.

The firewood in the main room was burning fiercely. Gu Pei took off his shoes and stretched out his feet to bake quietly. Looking at his mother's face flushed by the fire, Gu Pei didn't know what to say. You can hear the crackling of the firewood as it burns.The cold wind blows in through the open door, making people shiver with cold.

"Come on, Amei, Xiaopei, change your shoes." I don't know how long it took before Papa Gu returned to the main room with two pairs of shoes in his hand, but the pair of shoes for his mother turned out to be men's.

Gu Ma didn't speak, but took a look at the shoes and took them slowly.

Gu Pei nodded, and then quietly changed into his shoes.

"Well... your grandma has that temper. If she says something that makes you unhappy, just hold back and don't quarrel with her." Seeing Gu Pei calmly and obediently warming the fire, Papa Gu's eyes flashed with heartache.This child has been spoiled by his father-in-law and mother-in-law since he was a child, and it gets worse after his grades are good. Now facing such a grandma, it really makes him embarrassed.

"I know." Gu Pei replied softly.

"Good boy." Hearing Gu Pei's answer, Gu's father immediately hugged him and started rubbing his head.

"Dad!" Gu Pei broke free dissatisfied.

"What are you arguing with the child!" Gu's mother couldn't see, she pulled Gu Pei to help him smooth his hair, paused and asked, "Brother and brother are they all at home?"

"Second Uncle Yang's family killed a pig, and my sister-in-law went to buy meat."

"Hmph!" Gu Ma hummed mockingly and didn't say anything else.And Papa Gu's complexion was not very good either.

Gu Pei pursed her lips and frowned. It seemed that she still had something to do with the uncle's family?

Such a quiet atmosphere made people panic. After a long time, Gu's father said: "When I just came back, my mother was cooking, and I went to help. You and Xiaopei went out for a walk."

"My son is cooking with my mother and my daughter-in-law is out shopping? You don't think my mother hates me enough!" Gu's mother glanced at Gu's father sarcastically, ignoring his embarrassing expression and sighing, "I'll go Bar."

"Mom and Dad, let me go."

"Kids are fun." Gu Ma glared at Gu Pei, then got up and left.

"... Thank you for your hard work." Papa Gu looked at Mama Gu and said.

During dinner, Gu Pei finally saw the family of the uncle and the second uncle. The uncle and the aunt were very enthusiastic about the Gu Pei family. After greeting Gu's father and mother for drinks and dinner, they took Gu Pei to ask some questions about daily life and study.Gu Pei originally liked these two elders who welcomed his family, but gradually, he felt that these two people were a bit too attentive, and then looked at the parents who were smiling but not smiling and the second aunt who was smiling but not smiling. There was the second uncle and cousin who were only focused on eating, Gu Pei only felt that the meal was tasteless to him.

"Well...Xiaocheng, let's take Xiaopei to watch TV." After the meal, the eldest aunt said.

At this time, Gu Pei took a closer look at his cousin. In his previous life, the older cousin was a silent person. He thought he was also a quiet child now, but when he met his eyes, he saw the child's eyes facing each other. Turning around, but stopped immediately when he met the second aunt. It seemed that the child was suppressed by his mother.

Knowing that they had something to say, Gu Pei followed her cousin obediently.As soon as the boy left the adults, he immediately jumped away, and he couldn't watch the TV even when he turned it on, so he kept standing by the TV and tuned the channel, his eyes still looking at Gu Pei from time to time.

How could Gu Pei care about him right now, the atmosphere of this family made him feel oppressed and awkward.Judging by the looks of my parents, this conversation probably won't do my family any good.But Gu Cheng had long been impatient with this gloomy cousin, and ran away without a trace as soon as he turned around.

The night wind seeped into the house through the gaps in the blue tiles, like a huge net, wrapping Gu Pei tightly.The funny Lunar New Year TV dramas on TV also seem to be mocking this time.

At night, a family of three lived in a damp side room. Gu Pei was lying on the bed, and when he turned over, he could hear the "rustle" of straw under the cotton wool, which made Gu Pei feel cold for no reason.

"dad!"

"Ok?"

"Turn on the light, I'm going to the bathroom." As soon as the words fell, the incandescent lamp above the head suddenly lit up, and the dim yellow light reflected the earth-walled room with a clear and cold light.

**

"You...really agree?"

Gu Pei walked to the door and was about to open it when she heard Gu Ma's cold voice, and Gu Pei stopped in her tracks.

"...En." After a long time, Gu's father's voice slowly sounded.

"They just want to adopt one of their children, why do we have to have one?!" Gu's mother's voice suddenly became agitated, with sobs in her voice.

have a baby?Hearing this, Gu Pei couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"... Outsiders are always bad." Father Gu found out such a reason after a while.

"Outsiders?" Gu's mother smiled mockingly, "I thought we were outsiders! Do you think any mother treats her son and daughter-in-law like this?!"

"It was not easy for my mother to raise me..."

"I know it's not easy!" Gu's mother interrupted Gu's father, "So I have tolerated her cold eyes for so many years. But what is this called now? His eldest son has no son and let us give birth to him. What are we..." At the end of the speech, Gu Pei heard Gu Ma's sobbing.

"I'm sorry, Amei..."

"You said how much hardship I have suffered since I married you?! When my father was sick, I worked hard to take care of it. When I was tired, I got a sentence, 'Your second sister-in-law has to work. You don't have a job anyway. It's nothing to have a child. Big deal', is this mom?!"

"Amei...don't cry, the child will be back soon..."

"Child?" Gu's mother cried again when she heard this, "Xiao Pei is so obedient but she can be used as an excuse by her mother, saying something like 'your child doesn't seem to be a worry, so you can have a child with peace of mind' If it's not her own grandson, she's still her junior, why is she so cruel?"

Gu Pei stood outside the door, his feet seemed to have taken root, and he couldn't take a step for a long time. No wonder everyone had such expressions during dinner at night.He wanted to persuade his parents to leave this place, but he opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.That person is his grandma, what can he say?It would be fine if it was his own grandma, but that's not the case. Do you want his parents to be pointed at the spine and scolded as ungrateful and unfilial people for the rest of their lives?He took a breath, feeling his nose sore, the cold wind piercing into his collar seemed to have turned into thorny vines, piercing his heart full of holes.
