Rebirth: Growing Up Together

"It's a gas station for men and a beauty salon for women. A three-year-old child can talk after eating it, a seventy-year-old woman can walk up and down the stairs without getting out of breath after eating it, and a programmer's hair will grow wild after taking a bite."

"Eat our roasted sweet potatoes, and you won't be afraid of Magnesium's missiles!"

"Sister, buy more. If you eat it, you will have a boyfriend... Married? Then buy some for your husband. I guarantee it will be good for him and you too."

Thirty years younger, a strong and unyielding penis, eternal virility, waist and horse in one, radiant, immortal, the giant peach in the Peach Garden, the ginseng fruit in the Wuzhuang Temple...

Xu Cheng never stopped talking nonsense.

Many people who have nothing to do just stand by the stall and listen to Xu Cheng shouting, which feels more interesting than listening to crosstalk.

"Hahahahaha..."

"Who did this kid learn this from?"

In less than half an hour, Yu Yu had sold out all the goods in her car.

"How much did it sell for?" Xu Cheng asked.

Yu Yu, who was in charge of collecting money, nodded quickly with his little hands and finally said softly.

"202 yuan."

This girl must be a little money-grubber, her smile right now is sweeter than a sweet potato.

The aunt at the fruit stall nearby also praised Xu Cheng, "Young man, you are amazing. You are so good at business at such a young age. You are indeed a scholar. Being educated makes you different."

Xu Cheng smiled embarrassedly, "Auntie, you are too kind. I am just a little Kong Yiyi. I don't even make 9,000 a day. I am such a failure."

“Nine thousand?” The aunt raised her voice, “You are too ambitious, young man!”

"Auntie, my small goal is 100 million, I'm still far away!"

Chapter 35: Stories Always Come After the Rain

Xu Cheng has witnessed how popular Yu Yu is.

Since it was on the way, she simply helped Yu Yu pack up her stall and went home together, pushing the creaking cart. Along the way, whenever she met street vendors making a living, they would give Yu Yu something when they saw her.

Chestnuts, melon seeds, prunes, White Rabbit candy...

Even the aunt who sold Apple or Lotus brand sportswear would give her a small rubber keychain if she was reluctant to give her clothes.

Yu Yu, who couldn't... or simply didn't dare to refuse, could only let the uncles and aunts feed her with a blushing face. The girl who had no sense of existence in the class was also a little princess spoiled by everyone in another world.

"Yu Yu, they all know you?"

Yu Yu nodded slightly.

"Uncles and aunts are all very good people. Yu Yu will work like a slave to repay them in the future, and also..."

"Uh." Xu Cheng couldn't help but complain in his heart. Although everyone will be working like cattle and horses in the future, there is no need to be so conscious.

“We also need to thank their ancestors for eighteen generations?” he tried to answer.

Yu Yu's beautiful peach blossom eyes quickly glanced at Xu Cheng, and he muttered something in a low voice as if he was angry.

"My mother-in-law said that we can't swear, or we'll be struck by thunder when it rains..."

Xu Cheng scratched his head and smiled at her, "I was just kidding."

He likes intensive surfing, but in this era when the Internet is not well developed, he feels lonely without a group of funny people on the Internet to share jokes with him!

On the contrary, Yu Yu seemed to follow his words. The sky, which was clear just a moment ago, suddenly blew up with a strong wind, making it very difficult for the two children to climb the hill.

The sky was hazy, with faint thunder.

Sporadic drops of water have begun to fall, like the prelude to heavy rain.

Xu Cheng couldn't help but complain loudly, "Yu Yu, are you a disciple of Qingyun Sect or the Dragon King of Jinghe River? How come it rains whenever you say it will?"

Yu Yu didn't understand. She knew that the Dragon King of Jinghe River was from Journey to the West, but she had never heard of Qingyun Sect.

She didn't even bother to pay attention to Xu Cheng. She looked anxious, "The charcoal in the stove won't burn well after being soaked by the rain."

"My house is close, go to my house first, you can hide under the carport!"

As soon as Xu Cheng said this, Yu Yu's small body suddenly burst out with great strength, and the car suddenly became much faster.

Unfortunately, he was a step too slow. He had only walked halfway when heavy rain began to fall. People were so wet that they couldn't open their eyes, and the fire was extinguished.

The raindrops hit the carport, making crackling sounds, and under the carport, the two children were wet, looking like two drowned rats.

Xu Cheng couldn't help but shiver in the cold wind, while Yu Yu, who was standing next to him, had her black hair sticking to her forehead and her loose school uniform was soaked with water, which was dripping onto the ground. She stared at the charcoal fire in the stove that had been extinguished, her eyes reddened.

Xu Cheng tried to comfort her, "Uh, Yu Yu, it's just that it's hard to burn after it got wet, but it can still be burned, don't be too sad."

Yu Yu did not say anything. He kept his head down and sobbed softly. From time to time, he lifted his wet sleeves to wipe his eyes, like a little animal that had lost its prey and could not explain to its parents.

"Why, why, I tried my best to run, but still couldn't make it in time..."

Xu Cheng squatted down beside her, looked up at the dense rain in front of him, and felt a myriad of emotions.

How to describe heavy rain without mentioning the rain?

Viaduct, Maybach.

He said softly, "Don't be sad. In life, most of the time, you will fail after trying hard. Failure always runs through life. We are often let down by our own efforts. But remember that if you keep thinking about it, there will be a response."

Yu Yu turned his head and glanced at Xu Cheng in surprise. He didn't quite understand what he said, but he always felt it was very strange. How could this boy, who was obviously about the same age as him, always say profound words that only adults could say?

But it's quite warm...

Every time.

"No one will steal the car if it's left here. Why don't you go to my house and take a shower and change clothes? If we keep blowing like this for a while, we'll both have a fever tomorrow."

Yu Yu:?

Why did he suddenly ask me to go to his house to take a shower...so scary...

"Or, let's not do it..."

Xu Cheng looked at her thoughtfully, "Oh, then if you have a fever tomorrow, you have to go to the hospital, register, get an IV, all of this, um, it's going to cost a lot of money..."

Finally, he said meaningfully, "Then I will go home first."

The tone was like that of a weird uncle who was trying to trick a child into buying her candy.

One step, two steps, three steps...

In fact, I have already seen through it. This quiet and socially anxious little girl is definitely a little money-grubber.

"I, I'll go!" Yu Yu suddenly grabbed the corner of Xu Cheng's clothes.

The two children rushed back home in the rain.

The house was empty, as Saturday was the day Xu Jianghe and He Ying were on duty.

Even though it wasn't her first time, Yu Yu's face was flushed with shame, as if water was about to drip out...

Well, it's just dripping.

Xu Cheng handed her a towel and said, "Ladies first, go wash it first."

I feel like I've said this somewhere...

Yu Yu took the towel from his hand and stood there awkwardly. Xu Cheng grinned, "There are no clean towels at home. This one is mine. Do you mind?"

"No, no..." Yu Yu muttered softly. She looked down at her soaked white cotton socks, and her toes could be vaguely seen in the hazy white.

"I'm afraid I'll get you dirty."

Xu Chengzhe then remembered that this little girl was not only socially anxious, but also had an inferiority complex and a sensitive heart.

"I'm not a germaphobe. I'm just worried that you'd think I'm dirty. Go wash up quickly. I'll boil some water for you to drink."

The sound of water running in the bathroom was heard, and Xu Cheng then remembered that he had to find a set of clean clothes for Yu Yu to change into.

There is no little girl in their family, so the only clothes that children can wear are Xu Cheng's own. However, Yu Yu probably hasn't grown up yet, so she can still wear boys' clothes.

I searched in the closet.

“These overalls…”

"It's a little dark, forget it."

Finally, Xu Cheng took out a light red T-shirt for Yu Yu, which he often wore when he was in the third grade. He can't wear it now, but it should be a perfect fit for little Yu Yu.

When she came out of the bathroom, Xu Cheng couldn't help rubbing his eyes.

The girl hiding under the baggy school uniform...

So kawaii!

The light pink T-shirt fit her perfectly. Her long black hair was wet and had not been blown dry, still with water droplets on it. Her beautiful peach blossom eyes were as clear as a spring, her skin was fair and smooth, and she pursed her delicate peach petals, with a faint blush on her cheeks.

It’s so cute that it’s unfair!

Yu Yu felt so naked being stared at by him that she pinched her hands nervously again and again.

"You...you go wash up."

"Oh." Xu Cheng agreed. He had been sticky all over for a long time and couldn't stand it anymore.

Halfway through washing, I heard a knock on the door.

It should be He Ying, Xu Jianghe and the others who have returned.

"Yu Yu, please open the door for me. My parents are back." Xu Cheng opened half of the bathroom door and said to Yu Yu who was sitting upright in the living room.

"Oh." Yu Yu agreed, lowered his head and hurried to open the door.

The door opened with a click, but the voice of the person outside surprised Xu Cheng.

"Why are you wearing Xu Cheng's clothes?"

Chapter 36 I am a big pervert

Xu Cheng put on his clothes and walked out of the bathroom.

The house, which was empty just now, is now bustling with activity.

Xu Jianghe leaned against the entrance and looked at Xu Cheng meaningfully, "You are really good! At such a young age, you have the ability to trick a girl into taking a bath at home..."

Xu Cheng rolled his eyes. "Dad, what are you talking about? I called her to our house because I saw she was caught in the rain and I was worried that she would get sick. And is this something you should say to a child?"

Xu Jianghe smiled frivolously, "You have good taste. Lin Wanzhou and this little girl are both very cute. But you are still young, don't do these naughty things. You are not old enough yet. Fortunately, your mother and I came back early..."

Xu Cheng was completely speechless.

"Dad, who do you think I am?"

"I'm just a kid!"

I swear to God, I just don’t want Yu Yu to get sick!

If the entrance is full of confrontation, then the living room is full of murderous intent.

On the sofa, He Ying and Lin Wanzhou sat on either side of Yu Yu, happily combing Yu Yu's hair.

Her originally messy long black hair was combed neatly by the two of them, and fell softly on her shoulders at the back. She also combed two fake ponytails on both sides of her temples, and pinned a red hairband on her bangs, which looked particularly matched with the red T-shirt she was wearing.

What’s even more interesting is Yu Yu’s expression. She lowered her head slightly, her face was so red that a mushroom cloud seemed to be rising from her head, and her hands were pinching each other anxiously. I’m afraid her brain was blank with fear.

He Ying held a small mirror in front of Yu Yu and said, "Little Yu Yu, don't lower your head. Why are you so shy? Do you like the braids that your auntie helped you do?"

Yu Yu felt dizzy at this moment. He took a quick look and nodded woodenly, praying in his heart that He Ying would let him go.

"What great hair, black and thick. When I went to the barber shop, the barber was the most welcoming..." The more He Ying looked at Yu Yu, the more she liked her. She couldn't let go of her hair. "Wan Zhou, do you think it looks good?"

"It looks great, Auntie. I want you to help me comb my hair, too." Lin Wanzhou raised the corners of her lips, and two shallow dimples appeared on her cheeks. "I usually don't find Yu Yu so cute in class!"

He Ying, who already liked girls, was almost overwhelmed by happiness at this moment, "Okay, sit down for a while, and I'll help you comb your hair later. I have to go make dinner first, you kids can play."

After that, she added to Yu Yu, "Yu Yu, have dinner at Auntie's house tonight. Don't leave."

Yu Yu would never refuse anyone, so he nodded again.

Xu Cheng broke off a bottle of AD calcium milk from the TV cabinet, put it in the straw, walked to the sofa, sat down next to Lin Wanzhou, and took a sip.
