Can you be called a rich man if you don’t indulge yourself?

Chapter 95 A Broken Childhood

"They are all home-cooked dishes. I don't know if you can eat them."

On the dining table.
Xu Hong is all smiles
Although he said he didn't know if Lin Ran could get used to the food, his hands were busy picking up food into her bowl with chopsticks.
Lin Ran seemed to have adapted to the role of daughter-in-law. She kept saying "thank you auntie" sweetly, which made Xu Hong smile from ear to ear.
Seeing this scene, Gu Heng and Gu Xinran couldn't help but look at each other.
In the past, at least there was only one Gu Xinran who occasionally came to eat and competed for his favor.
Now, Lin Ran has only been here for one afternoon and has taken away the brother and sister's place.
This is not to save me, this is to grab my mother.
Thinking of this, Gu Heng couldn't help but said to Xu Hong who was still putting food into Lin Ran's bowl: "Mom, give me a piece of the braised pork. I can't reach it."

The voice just fell
Xu Hong, who had just had a kind face, immediately changed her expression.
"If you can't hold it, don't you know to stand up? Is your butt stuck on the stool?"

Gu Heng: “???”

Is mother's love so easily corrupted?
Seeing this scene, Lin Ran turned his head to look at Gu Heng and winked at him implicitly.
This arrogant attitude almost broke Gu Heng's back teeth.
My idea of ​​not getting married is correct.
His status in the family is not high to begin with. If he really gets married, wouldn't he be finding another woman to bully him and bully him?
"I'm stuffed!"

A few minutes later, Gu Heng, who had barely eaten about 80% full, stood up from the stool and urged Lin Ran, "Eat faster. I'll take you to the hotel in town later."

Hotel?

Hearing this word, Xu Hong immediately got scared.

He stood up and pointed at Gu Heng's nose and cursed: "Do you want to die? Ranran came all the way from Shanghai to come here, and you let her stay in a hotel? Can't she stay at your home?"

Before Gu Heng said this, he had already guessed Xu Hong's rage, and said calmly: "Where else can we stay if not in a hotel?

Stay in my room? My bed is the only one that can accommodate two people?"

Sure enough, after Gu Heng finished speaking, Xu Hong fell silent.
The bed in Gu Heng's room was a wooden bed that Gu Jianguo had made for him when he was in school. It was smaller than the bed he slept in the rental house, and at most it was only 1.2 meters tall.
Sleeping two people is too much
Xu Hong didn't feel bad that Gu Heng slept alone, but how could she let Lin Ran, a delicate girl from the big city, share a small bed with Gu Heng?
After hesitating for a long time, Xu Hong finally found an excuse and continued, "Then your dad and I will sleep upstairs, and you and Ranran can sleep in my room. Can't we sleep at home? How can a hotel be as clean as home?"

"Okay, Mom, don't worry about it. The town is only about ten minutes away from here by car. At most, I can pick her up every day."

Xu Hong wanted to say something else when she saw Lin Ran stand up and said with a smile, "Auntie, it's okay. I can sleep anywhere. I've almost finished eating, so it's a good opportunity for Gu Heng to take me out for a walk."

Hearing Lin Ran say this, Xu Hong could only smile embarrassedly: "This house has been built for more than 20 years and has never been renovated. The guest room is full of sundries. Otherwise, your uncle and I can sleep in the guest room, and you and Xiaoheng can sleep in my room.

But Xiaoheng is already planning to build a new building, so you can live at home when you come back next year!"

"it is good."

Lin Ran still had a well-behaved smile on his face.

Just when Lin Ran said goodbye to Gu Heng's parents and uncle and aunt and was about to go out with Gu Heng, Xu Hong, who had been hesitating, stopped them.

"Wait a moment, of course."

Lin Ran turned around and asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Auntie?"

Xu Hong shyly took out a red envelope from her pocket and walked up: "According to the rules here, the man has to give a red envelope when he brings the woman to his house for the first time."

As he said that, he was about to stuff the red envelope into Lin Ran's hand.

Lin Ran took a look at the bulging red envelope, and saw that there was quite a lot of money in it. He subconsciously pushed Xu Hong's hand away and said, "Auntie, no, I have money, you don't have to give me money."

Seeing the red envelope being pushed away, Xu Hong hurriedly said: "There are six thousand six hundred and sixty-six in the red envelope, it's a good omen!
Auntie knows that you city girls are rich and don’t care about these thousands of dollars, but you must accept it, this is a token of my love.”

"No, Auntie, it's not about how much money you have."

Lin Ran had never experienced such a situation before, and he didn't know what to say.
Gu Heng looked at the scene where one gave and the other didn't, and shook his head helplessly.
He was just wondering why his mother asked him for cash, but it turned out that she was using her own money to give Lin Ran a red envelope.
The total amount of red envelopes she had received since she was a child was probably less than 6,666. And according to Gu Heng's understanding of her, the cash in this red envelope should be all the cash reserves of the family.
Otherwise, she would definitely come up with 10,010, a number that was one in a million.
He was usually very stingy with himself, but now he was so worried about his marriage that he actually gave more than 6,000 yuan to Lin Ran, whom he had only known for an afternoon. He really spent a lot of money.
The more Gu Heng thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. He immediately took the red envelope from Xu Hong and said, "Okay, stop pushing it away. I'll take it for Lin Ran."

"Let go of my hand!"

Xu Hong yelled, which frightened Gu Heng so much that the red envelope fell to the ground.
Giving Gu Heng a fierce look, Xu Hong picked up the red envelope from the ground, then turned to Lin Ran with a smile and stuffed the red envelope into her hand: "Take this money and buy two nice clothes when the time comes."

After saying that, he tightly grasped Lin Ran's hand, turned around and glared at Gu Heng: "What are you doing standing there? Hurry up and pack a change of clothes, and stay in the hotel with Ranran. Ranran is a girl, she is unfamiliar with the place, are you comfortable letting her stay in the hotel alone?"

Gu Heng listened.
It seems to be the same reason
It is said that poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people.
Although my place is not a poor place, it is definitely not as safe as a big city. Especially during the Chinese New Year, many gangsters who usually hang out outside have returned.
He was indeed worried about letting Lin Ran live alone in the town. He had come all the way to help him. If something happened to him, he would be a real beast.
Besides, there was nothing to live in the house, especially the bed, which was hard and small, not even as good as the bed I slept in when I was a masochist, not to mention the beds I slept in various star-rated hotels recently.
Gu Heng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go pack two sets of clothes."

After saying that, he didn't waste any more time and ran upstairs.

After going upstairs, Gu Heng took out clothes one by one from the unopened bag next to him and threw them on the bed.
I used to dress like a douchebag because there was no need. No matter how I dressed, I couldn't change the fact that I only earned 4500 yuan a month. If I dressed like a whore, no girl would come up to me and talk to me.
However, even after becoming rich, Gu Heng still cared a lot about his image.

Although he didn't know much about dressing style, all these luxury clothes were matched by the shopping guide, so he only needed to change one set at a time.
Now he was planning to pick out the clothes that the shopping guide had prepared for him.
Just as Gu Heng had chosen his clothes and casually stuffed them into his bag, preparing to go downstairs, Lin Ran's voice suddenly came from behind him.

"I can't believe that Mr. Gu, who lives in a villa suite worth tens of thousands of yuan a night in Wuzhen, has his own room so shabby~"

Hearing his sarcastic tone, Gu Heng could only roll his eyes and said, "Do you know what revengeful enjoyment is? It's because I didn't have a good life before, so I live in a villa."

After saying that, Gu Heng walked directly in front of her and began to grope her body.
The touch of the warm big hand made her heart tremble. She thought Gu Heng was going to do something to her at this time, so she quickly hid aside and said, "What are you doing!"

"What can I do? I'll take back my own money! Hurry up and take out the red envelope my mom gave you.

I have never received such a big red envelope since I was a child, but you have already received 6,600 in just one afternoon!"

After hearing Gu Heng's words, Lin Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If Gu Heng really did something to me here just now.
It seems exciting when I think about it.
After all, Gu Heng's whole family is living downstairs.
After calming down her throbbing emotions, Lin Ran smoothed her hair, glanced at Gu Heng and said, "This red envelope was given to me by my auntie. It's mine now."

Gu Heng: “???”

"Do you still have any shame? You're eating and taking things at the same time?"

"How am I shameless? You asked me to pretend to be your girlfriend, didn't you? Just tell me if I acted like your girlfriend. Is your mother satisfied?"

Lin Ran's series of questions confused Gu Heng.
It should be said that Lin Ran's acting skills are indeed good
As for the image of this well-behaved daughter-in-law, she plays much better than the young actors
Although I was scolded the whole afternoon, there is no doubt that my mother is very happy and satisfied with Lin Ran.
This is the original intention of asking Lin Ran to come. After all, the reason why I asked her to come is to make me happy.
Seeing that Gu Heng was silent, Lin Ran smiled with satisfaction and said, "So, this red envelope is my reward for pretending to be your girlfriend."

"How about we split it in half? You get 3,333, and I get 3,333?"

Hearing this number, Lin Ran felt inexplicably disgusted.
The number 6,666 is a very auspicious number.
But when separated, they become two purely unlucky numbers.
Scatter
Lin Ran didn't know why he was disgusted by this number, especially when it came from Gu Heng's mouth. He immediately frowned and refused: "No, I won't give you a penny!"

"If you don't give it to me, I'll just grab it myself!"

Gu Heng doesn't care about the six thousand yuan, but this money is my mother's intention.
Even if he wants to give it to his future real girlfriend, what's the point of giving it to a fake girlfriend?

Having said that, he was ready to get started.

But before his hand touched her, he saw Lin Ran opened his mouth and shouted loudly.

"Ah!"

Before she could even say the word "Auntie", Gu Heng covered her mouth.
Well, well, she has now grasped her own weakness.
I know that the only one who can subdue me now is my mother.
"What's wrong?" Xu Hong's voice came from downstairs.

Hearing this voice, Gu Heng immediately gave in and whispered, "Okay, okay, I'll give it all to you! I don't want it anymore!"

If my mother knew that I was trying to steal the red envelope she gave to Lin Ran, I guess there wouldn't be much good meat left on me.
Seeing Gu Heng give in, Lin Ran also said to the downstairs: "It's nothing, Auntie, I just saw a mouse and got scared, but Gu Heng chased it away for me."

"There are some preserved foods upstairs, which may attract mice. Ranran, please keep an eye on it."

"Okay, Auntie."

After saying that, Lin Ran glanced at Gu Heng proudly.
Gu Heng was too lazy to pay attention to her arrogant look and said directly: "Okay, stop wasting time, let's go."

As he said that, he was about to pull her downstairs.

But Lin Ran broke free from his hand, looked around Gu Heng's empty room and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? I'm just wandering around your room. To be honest, I've never been to a boy's bedroom before.

But your bedroom is really shabby."

As he said that, he walked into Gu Heng's room and looked around.
"Is this when you were a kid?"

Lin Ran pointed to a photo embedded in the wardrobe mirror.

There are few photo albums or anything like that in rural areas, and people rarely take photos. Generally, any photos they have are embedded in obvious places such as mirrors.
Gu Heng walked over and took a glance.

The photo shows a boy in his teens, making a big scissors gesture.
He nodded casually and said, "It was taken when I was a kid. I think it was taken for free by the school when I was in elementary school."

When Lin Ran heard Gu Heng's admission, he directly pulled out the photo and stuffed it into his coat pocket.

"Confiscated."

"???"

Gu Heng looked at her with a surprised expression: "You don't have any special perverted fetish, do you? You want to collect my childhood photos and do some unspeakable things to me?"

Such teasing had no effect on her at all.
Lin Ran glanced down at Gu Heng's crotch and counterattacked: "You can't make me have any desires now, do you think you could have done it when you were a child?"

"Your mouth is really harder than my hook. It makes it seem like you weren't the one begging for mercy last time."

When Gu Heng mentioned the madness of the last time, Lin Ran still couldn't help blushing, but soon pretended to be calm and said: "Don't you know that women are born actors in this aspect? They just acted out to cooperate with you.

No way, no way? You are not really taking it seriously, are you? "

"How about trying again tonight?"

"roll."

In the end, she did not hand over Gu Heng's photo.
Suddenly, she saw two little Ultraman characters on the small cabinet next to the wardrobe. She walked over, picked up one in each hand, and said jokingly, "I didn't expect you to be so childlike? You even collect Ultraman characters?"

Gu Heng didn't react when Lin Ran took his photo, but when he saw her pick up the two Ultraman, his face changed, and he quickly walked up and snatched them from her hand.
The material of Ultraman is very poor quality.
There were some raised parts on the corners, and Gu Heng grabbed it too hard, leaving a long red mark on Lin Ran's fair hand, causing Lin Ran to gasp in pain.
Gu Heng glanced at her hand and felt that he had overreacted, but he still carefully put it back to where it was before and apologized, "I'm sorry."

Lin Ran was not some delicate young lady, so this kind of scratch would only hurt a little at first and would heal after a while. She did not take it seriously, but was rather interested in Gu Heng's excitement.

"What? Which white moonlight gave you this as a token of love when you were a child?

Your love affair is quite simple, the token of love is Ultraman. "

Gu Heng glanced at her and said calmly: "Hammer Bai Yueguang, this is my childhood."

"What do you mean?"

“It means literally.

At that time, I collected more than 40 Ultraman toys, and I had all five colors of Tiga. Everyone within a ten-mile radius knew me, the little Ultraman prince. It is no exaggeration to say that when Tiga was borrowing light, I borrowed more light than anyone in our town!

But damn, it was probably because he got too powerful that year that I lost all hope for the next ten years."

Speaking of this, Gu Heng's face was filled with pride.
"Then why are there only two here?"

"My dad threw them away. There were 45 Ultramen, but only these two were left. I hid these two secretly."

Gu Heng's casual words made Lin Ran's heart tremble.
She clearly felt that the pride in Gu Heng's eyes just now disappeared in an instant.
"When was it lost?"

“My senior year of high school.”

"Why did you lose it?"

"Why else could I do that? My dad wanted me to go to a good university, but my grades ranked around 300th in the school, so it was considered great to be able to go to a junior college, so I didn't want to continue.

Then my dad wanted me to bring honor to him, so we started arguing.

In the end, he got so angry that he threw away all my collections of Yu-Gi-Oh cards, Ultraman, and A-Shay's comics.

That was the day I completely grew up.”

After saying that, he turned his head and looked at the Ultraman on the table, and said with a smile: "These two Ultraman can be regarded as my broken childhood memories."

Hearing Gu Heng's open-minded tone, Lin Ran fell silent.
She has been a good student since she was young, and her family is well-off and her parents are open-minded.
There is absolutely no way to empathize with Gu Heng.
But she knew that if this happened to her, she would definitely not be able to accept it.
This was the second time Gu Heng confessed his childhood regrets to her, the last time was in Wuzhen.

"Okay, why am I telling you so much, let's go now."

Having said that, Gu Heng pulled Lin Ran out of the room.

　The daily writing is very poor, it's just barely ok to read. It stops there after writing about the childhood friend's marriage and the ex-girlfriend.

　　It will be finished in three or four chapters at most.

　　It's hard to write, and I'm scratching my head after writing it. It's not suitable for writing about daily life, but there's not much to pretend in the countryside, and it would be awkward if I pretended.

　　I am still suitable for writing urban pretentious stories...

　　I'm so stuck in writing this daily routine, but there's no way to skip it directly, so I can only bite the bullet and write it. I'm so stuck that I can only type this much. I'm sorry everyone
