Gu Qing reborn

Because Qin Liyang had to rush back to City B to handle the company's business, he drove back within two days.The hotel was unacceptable, so Gu Qing simply bought a folding bed and used it to sleep in the restaurant on weekdays, but the restaurant always smelled of oily smoke, so Gu Qing couldn't sleep well.

The summer vacation is coming, the school students are back home, the business of the restaurant is lighter than before, but fortunately the building next to the street has been recently renovated, it can attract a lot of office workers and shoppers, so the restaurant is down. Nor will it lose money.

Ma Xiuqin sat comfortably in front of the cashier counter, kneading melon seeds in her hands, and didn't greet anyone. She only rushed over when she heard that the customer wanted to pay the bill, her eyes became a slit, and she took the money and counted the money. Clean Neat and done in one go, Gu Qing looked at Gu Ling who said she came to help but was still sleeping in the room until noon, and thought of her mother sweating and hard cooking in the sweltering kitchen behind, her heart ached, but because of her mother and relatives, He can't speak harshly either.

Gu Ling rubbed her eyes and came out of the room yawning. When she saw Gu Qing passing by, a trace of resentment leaked from her eyes.Gu Qing could always see this look in his eyes since Qin Liyang left. He had already been given a defensive shot, but he didn't worry about it, and put the empty plate in his hand back into the kitchen.

"Grandma, I want to eat chicken stewed with mushrooms. The chicken needs to be tender. I'm starving to death. Tell the cook to do it quickly."

After Gu Ling finished speaking, she took a bottle of soda from the refrigerator beside her, and gulped it down.

When Ma Xiuqin heard that her daughter was hungry, she panicked and yelled loudly to the kitchen, "Li Zi, let's make mushroom and chicken soup first. Be quick, I'm waiting."

Gu Qing frowned, and just about to say a few words, a customer who rushed back to the company for work at noon complained dissatisfiedly: "What's the matter, are you still doing business or not, and the customer's food has not been served yet."

Gu Qing quickly stepped forward to apologize to the female customer, and then comforted her for a while. After promising to serve the food soon, the female staff saw that Gu Qing was sincere and handsome, so she calmed down, but the eyes of Ma Xiuqin's mother and daughter were different. It was obvious contempt and sarcasm, Gu Ling was so angry that she wanted to jump up on the spot, but she could only swallow her anger unwillingly because she was from the city and it was not easy to offend her.

Gu Qing quickly served the dishes to the guests, along with a small plate of cold chicken.

Gu Ling didn't dare to offend the people in the city, but she didn't want to wrong herself, so she took all her anger on her grandmother, "Auntie, you want to starve to death, right? Don’t be dazed, give the money quickly, I can’t eat it in my store, I’ll go outside to buy it, I don’t believe this can hinder some good people.”

As she said that, Gu Ling glanced at Gu Qing intentionally or unintentionally. Gu Qingquan pretended not to pay attention, and walked past her at ease, and suddenly saw Ma Xiuqin take out a red head from the cash register. , directly snatched it from her hand.

"What are you doing? Don't let my daughter eat in the store. I gave her money to eat outside. Is it wrong? I can see how bad you are. You want to starve our mother and daughter to death, you Do you still have a conscience?"

Ma Xiuqin glared at Gu Qing fiercely with sideways eyes, and tried to snatch back the banknotes with her hand, but Gu Qing nimbly dodged it.

"Auntie, this money cannot be moved, it belongs to the shop."

Gu Qing naturally filtered out the unpleasant words from Ma Xiuqin's mouth, and replied with a serious face.

"What's wrong with the one in the store, I can't use it?" Ma Xiuqin stared at Gu Qing with her eyes open.

"The store has to do accounts every day, so it's not appropriate to have less money." Gu Qing continued to explain patiently.

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiuqin was stunned for two seconds. She had never done business, and she didn't know that she had to reconcile the accounts, so she thought it was Gu Qing who was just asking for trouble and didn't want to give money, and her tone became even more dissatisfied: "What's wrong, isn't it just a hundred dollars?" , it’s all my own store, what’s the problem, your mother still owes my family thirty thousand, and it’s been more than ten years, so it’s going to be embarrassing?”

Ma Xiuqin hummed.

His body froze, and Gu Qing's mind raced quickly. He originally thought that his mother's aunt and cousin, who endured the extreme rudeness, were out of consideration for relatives, but now that he thought about it, it turned out that it was because he owed money, more than 3 yuan. For Gu Qing and the others, not to mention how poor they were when they were reborn, even now it is a huge sum of money.

Ma Xiuqin looked at Gu Qing in a daze, with a distressed expression on her face, and was overjoyed in her heart. Gu Ling stood aside with her arms folded, watching the joke with cold eyes.

Money always makes people look inferior sometimes, even if you are the master.

Gu Qing put the money he was clutching tightly back on the counter, took out another hundred from his shirt pocket and handed it to Gu Ling, without saying a word, turned and went into the kitchen.

At 01:30 in the afternoon, the last customer in the store was sent away. Gu Qing went into the kitchen and prepared to cook a few dishes for lunch. As soon as the oil was poured, he heard his aunt yelling with a strong hometown accent. Something happened, Gu Qing still turned off the fire, and ran to the front to see what happened.

Ma Xiuqin was pulled by Gu Dayong, swearing non-stop, with a fat body, she was about to pounce on Cheng Ying with her hands and feet on the ground, Cheng Ying's eyes were red, and she was protected behind by Gu's mother.

Gu Qing walked in, and heard her aunt's scolding clearly: "What are you, you are just a part-time job, and you dare to scold me. I am the proprietress of this shop. What's wrong, you have an opinion. You don't want to do it What's wrong, you look so narrow, you don't look clean and honest, your parents didn't teach you to be a man. Gu Dayong, don't stop me, I still don't believe I can't teach her a lesson Mouth. Let her scold me, let her not know the rules."

Gu Qing took a deep breath, endured the depression in his heart, pulled Cheng Ying to the door of the store, and apologized: "Sister Yingzi, I have wronged you today, I am sorry."

Cheng Ying's eyes were only reddened at first, but now hearing Gu Qing's mention, tears couldn't stop falling, and she sobbed and said, "Ah Qing, sister Yingzi is impulsive, no...don't control your mouth, Ah Qing, I Difficulties at home, you...you know, I did nothing wrong, you...you don't quit me, okay?"

Gu Qing took out a tissue from his arms and handed it to Cheng Ying, with guilt on his face, and after repeatedly promising that he would never fire her, he called a taxi and sent her away.Uncle Li saw that there was a lot of noise in the store, and he was in no mood for lunch, so he rode his bicycle home, called Gu Qing to a hiding place before leaving, looked around, and then turned his head and said to Gu Qing solemnly: "Ah Qing, what are you doing?" I can't keep my relatives."

Gu Qing smiled wryly, knowing in his heart that Uncle Li was right, but after all, he was short of money, so he could only endure and avoid it for now, but it was not a long-term solution. Gu Qing thought it was time to talk to his mother.

In the evening, Gu's restaurant.

Gu Qing sat in the room and chatted with his mother about what happened during the day. Human patience has a limit. Gu Qing thinks he is not a sinister and vicious person, but he is not too kind. Especially this time, his mother and the restaurant are involved. Can't stand it.

"Mom, do we owe uncle a lot of money?"

Gu Qing got straight to the point, the arrears were the crux of the matter, and he wanted to solve it as soon as possible.

"Who told you that?" Gu's mother looked at Gu Qing with surprise on her face, then lowered her head guiltyly, "This is all an adult's business, so don't meddle with you as a child."

Gu Qing didn't like his mother changing the subject, so he continued: "Mom, my aunt told me already. I'm not a child anymore."

Gu's mother stopped keeping accounts, sighed and raised her head. Seeing Gu Qing's persistence, she finally opened her mouth slowly, "This happened more than ten years ago. Mom was pregnant with you at that time. City C, in a strange city with no relatives and no reason, and they didn’t recruit pregnant women. It was hard at that time, and you were about to be born again. Mom had no choice but to call your uncle. The money was sent to me, but I didn’t know that he did it without telling your aunt. Later, she found out, and the family was in trouble. I didn’t want to embarrass your uncle, so I made an IOU. Later, you were promising, and you were admitted to university. But in those few years, life was difficult, and there was not much left at home, so Mom had to borrow another 2 yuan from your uncle. This adds up to more than [-] yuan owed."

"Twenty thousand? Aunt said thirty thousand?"

Gu Qing asked.

"Hehe, you silly boy, you don't need interest on borrowing money."

Mother Gu joked with a smile.

Gu Qing didn't say a word, he really thought that borrowing money from relatives would not require interest, but thinking of his aunt's strength and toughness, he knew it in his heart.

"Mom, isn't our hometown in the countryside in the mountains? How could uncle lend us so much money?" Especially more than ten years ago, five to six thousand yuan was definitely considered a huge sum of money for rural people.

"Later, molybdenum mines were discovered in our village. The government organized the mining and allocated a lot of money to the villagers every year. Calculated on a per capita basis, each person can share five or six thousand a year."

Gu Qing nodded, and asked again: "Mom, how much money is left at home, including everything."

Mama Gu thought about it for a while.Gu Qing knew that his mother had the habit of keeping accounts, so he directly took the account book. His mother only went to junior high school. The handwriting was not beautiful, but the writing was neat, and Gu Qing could see it clearly. A lot, plus the amount in my bank card, the maximum is no more than 1.

Gu Qing was suddenly discouraged.

Gu's mother patted her fearful son's shoulder, and comforted her: "Mom originally wanted to collect money to pay back to Li Yang. With the current situation at home, it seems that we have to wait a while longer. Azi, Mom has wronged you. Be patient." day."

Qin Liyang? !

Gu Qing raised his head abruptly, a flash of joy flashed in his eyes, why did he forget that there was a credit card given to him by Zhang Qin Liyang in his wallet, he didn’t know how much money was in it, he never used it, but he didn’t think so few.Thinking of this, a glimmer of hope ignited in Gu Qing's heart.

Gu Qing still took her mother's passbook, planning to get up early tomorrow morning and run to the bank to open an account, deposit the money in it, and pay the account in the afternoon.At this moment, the sound of the kettle sounded, Gu Qing hurried to the kitchen to get water, poured it into the footbath, and adjusted the temperature of the water. After trying it with his hands, he brought it into the room to soak his mother's feet.

Thinking of no need to owe money to live on, Gu Qing felt a burst of joy in his heart.
