Chapter 57 My partner is hard-working and kind
“You renovated this patio and raised the drainage level?”
“Wow——”
Lin Shu squatted on the patio Next to the well, I raised my butt and reached out to splash in the water. The water was very cool.
Gu Jiu squatted next to her, and the image of her cocking up and down made him think about it. He could even feel the warmth coming from Lin Shu's body. How could he withstand it when he was full of strength?
"Lin Shu, the pants you wore today are too narrow. Remember to wear something looser next time."
Lin Shu stood up and raised his legs. He didn't feel that the pants were tight. "It's okay." , the fabric I chose is elastic, so I don’t have to worry about crotch collapse. "
Gu Jiu: "."
Lin Shu's outfit today was newly made by herself. The fabric was purchased from the system mall. The top is a relatively conservative shirt style, using It's chiffon fabric with a bit of pattern. The pants are made of black elastic suit fabric. They look straight but not tight when worn, showing off the girl's good figure as much as possible.
The style of this suit of clothes was not outstanding in later generations, it was a very ordinary style, but in this era it is very fashionable, that is, very foreign.
In addition, for the convenience of riding, she tied up her long hair with a hairpin, and quietly presented her entire pink and white neck in front of Gu Jiu's eyes.
When Gu Jiu saw the pink and white skin on her neck, he couldn't help but think of the skin on other parts of her body. He wiped his nose, but luckily there was no nosebleed.
"Stop playing with water. The gaps in the patio floor tiles are all filled with cement. The water in it is rainwater. It looks clear but is not very clean after all. Come and cook with me."
Gu Jiu used to feel that women were annoying and slimy and always liked to cling to him. Now when he was with Lin Shu, he felt that it was both sweet and torturing, but he just couldn't bear to let this feeling be too far away from him.
He knew that he wanted a wife. Maybe Lin Shu was the wife he wanted. Since he had feelings for her, he naturally didn't want to let her go.
Lin Shu shook off the water on his hand and responded with a smile, "Okay, you help me light the fire and I'll cook."
Lin Shu also liked this feeling. In his previous life, he was running for life every day. , when I was young, I had no time to enjoy life at all, and I had to do everything by myself. There is no one to work with her, especially such trivial housework as cooking.
It was novel and enjoyable for her to have someone to cook with.
“Hey, did you soak the dried mushrooms?”
Gu Jiu looked at the dried mushrooms in the basin that he had soaked for breakfast. They were already soaked, “This is what you gave me. It tastes good. I fell in love with it after eating it once. How about using this to stir-fry spicy food for lunch? ”
"Okay, the peppers grown at home taste good, and the fried mushrooms are especially delicious."
Lin Shu rolled up his sleeves and began to wash them. In the mountains where dried mushrooms grow naturally, there are sometimes grass clippings under the caps. or soil, be sure to clean them.
Then wash the peppers. The peppers of this era are not cultivated and improved varieties. The old varieties of peppers have thin skin, thick flesh and spicy taste. They also have the aroma of peppers. They are very fragrant whether they are stir-fried or made into sauces. .
Gu Jiu came over while shopping for good rice, moved a small bench and sat next to her, "You brought so many beans, I can't eat so much by myself, it's a waste. Just give more to your family." , don’t worry Remember me."
After hearing what he said, Lin Shu gave him a strange look. The man's mouth was like a man's mouth. When they first met, this kid couldn't hold back a word for a long time. Why now? Like a chatterbox?
"I'll wash them all out, keep the food for lunch and dinner, and dry the rest. Then I'll make sour cowpeas for you and save them for later eating."
In this era of scarcity of materials, even if you take care of The Jiu family's conditions were good, so he didn't dare to waste it. It was the best arrangement to pickle it and eat it slowly.
After lunch, Gu Jiu asked Lin Shu to rest at home, while he rode his bicycle to the family courtyard of the power supply station while everyone was at home during the lunch break. He sent over the rice dumplings and moxa calamus brought by Lin Shu.
The family home of the power supply station.
Xu Ming had just finished eating when he heard a knock on the door. He opened the door and saw Gu Jiu outside. He asked in surprise: "Why are you here at this time? Have you eaten?"
Gu Jiu saw it. Xu Ming opened the door and immediately stopped smiling. He raised the things in his hands expressionlessly and said, "After eating, I will give you a Dragon Boat Festival gift."
"You will give it to me?" Taiyang said. The west side came out.
"Xiao Ming, who is here?"
Xu's mother couldn't help but ask when she saw that her son opened the door and no one came in for a long time.
Xu Ming turned around and said, "Mom, Gu Jiu is here."
Xu Ting was putting rice into her mouth. When she heard this, she immediately put down the bowl and chopsticks, took out her handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth, then looked towards He ran to the door, "Brother Ninth is here, come in quickly."
"You This kid, why don't I let him in when Gu Jiu comes? What's the point of standing at the door?" Xu's mother glared at her son angrily, and then shouted towards the door: "Gu Jiu, come in quickly, come in and tell me if you have anything. ”
Xu Ming made way for Gu Jiu to come in.
Gu Jiu walked in holding a rice dumpling in one hand and a large bundle of moxa leaves and calamus in the other.
"Aunt Xu, Uncle Xu, I'm bringing you a Dragon Boat Festival gift, excuse me."
Mother Xu looked at the rice dumplings and herbs in his hand and felt incredible. This was not like this kid's behavior, so she Curious, he asked: "Gu Jiu, where did you get the zongzi and moxa leaves?"
Gu Jiu stuffed all the gifts in his hand into the arms of Xu Ming beside him, "Aunt Xu, these rice dumplings and herbs were sent by my partner. She brought two copies. This one is for you. "
"Your partner?"
The word "target" frightened a whole room of people.
Xu Ming piled the rice dumplings and herbs on the table beside him and asked eagerly: "Where did you find your partner? Why didn't I know?"
Mother Xu's heart skipped a beat, and the smile on her face froze slightly. , "Yes, Gu Jiu, when did you get into the right situation?" Xiang? Why haven't I heard you talk about it?"
Xu Ting grabbed her handkerchief under the table and asked, "Brother Jiu, are you saying this to make me angry? How come I don’t know about someone else? Besides, you can just find someone outside. Do Uncle Gu, Aunt Gu, and the others know about the target?"
Gu Jiu glanced at Xu Ting coldly, with a worried look on his face: "My parents said that I can choose a partner as I like, and they won't interfere too much. . As for who my partner is, I sent it to you last time. The dried mushrooms were sent by my partner. Why did I forget so quickly after eating the mushrooms she sent?"
After hearing what he said, Xu Ting's face turned pale, and her biting lips trembled a little, "You Are you talking about that country girl? ”
Xu's mother recovered from the shock and asked tentatively: "I heard Xu Ming say last time that the person who gave us the fungi should be a rural girl, right?"
Gu Jiu had a polite smile on his lips, "Yes, she is a rural girl, but I don't care about her origin."
Xu's mother tried hard not to lose her composure, and explained with an awkward smile: "Haha, this is very Well, labor is the most glorious thing. We don’t look down on rural people, we are just curious about what kind of person she is, and she can actually make our ninth brother emotional.” Monthly ticket support~
