Boss Liang and Tao Daqiang left before the commotion got dark.
The yard suddenly became quiet.
Li Long also felt quite tired. After a day of hard work, even though his physical strength is much stronger than that of ordinary people, he still feels a little overwhelmed.
Gu Xiaoxia was lying on the bed without any image, her eyes were lifeless.
Although the previous content of the bridal chamber, including Zhu Bajie carrying his wife, was mainly caused by Li Long, she mainly wanted to cooperate, but she was worried about being pranked and was highly nervous, so now that those people left, she felt exhausted .
There are still some odd jobs in the yard, and there are some things in the kitchen that need to be dealt with briefly. If you want to have breakfast tomorrow morning, you have to make it yourself. There is firewood in the yard, but not much...
Li Long thought in his mind Thinking about these things, I quickly retracted my thoughts. Today is my wedding day, and the most important thing has not been done yet!
He turned to look at Gu Xiaoxia lying on the bed, and was surprised to find that she was already asleep!
It’s on!
Up!
Li Long didn't believe it, wondering if this little girl was shy so she pretended to close her eyes? He lowered his head to Gu Xiaoxia's face, and then heard Gu Xiaoxia's steady breathing.
The breathing is thin and long, this is really falling asleep.
Li Long shouted softly:
"Xiaoxia?"
Gu Xiaoxia did not respond.
It seems that he is really exhausted.
Li Long smiled bitterly, his bridal night would not just end like this, right?
He was a little sleepy just now, but not anymore.
Li Long stood up quietly, took off his suit and put it on the chair - it seemed that he was not well prepared. He didn't have a hanger, so he had to make one later.
Taking off his tie and throwing it on his suit, Li Long felt that the indoor temperature was okay, so he went to the kitchen without covering Gu Xiaoxia.
There are still a lot of things left over from making the banquet in the kitchen. In addition to the things that will be used for a banquet tomorrow, there is still a lot left.
Li Long looked at it and found a handful of dried noodles, washed kelp, and day lily. He planned to make a bowl of noodles.
Although I ate something in the afternoon, I feel hungry again. Although I am still a little tired, getting something to eat is not considered work at the moment, but it can actually make me feel more relaxed.
After the big yard house was built and everything was ready, this was the first time he cooked in his own home. It felt good, fresh and relaxing.
The fire on the stove outside has not been extinguished yet, and the temperature is quite high. Li Long sits on a small pot, and there is clean water in the bucket next to the pressure well. He pours half of the pot of water, finds it and cuts it. Dice potatoes and radish, and start preparing the next pot of noodles.
It's too troublesome to grab the film, otherwise he would be ready to do it.
Fetching another bottle of persimmon sauce, Li Long prepared to make a pot of hot and sour noodles.
Of course, noodles are also fine, but he felt that eating that late at night would be a bit overwhelming.
The water is boiling, below... Li Long was not in a hurry. He slowly prepared the noodles and scooped out a bowl. There was more than one bowl left, and he scooped it into a small enamel basin. There is still a fire on the stove, but if you put it in the pot, the noodles will become mushy in a short time even if the pot is not dry.
A dog from someone I don’t know ran over and was looking for bones under the table to eat.
Li Long's current yard is located at the southernmost end of the residential area. Ordinary dogs may not be able to find it. This dog has a very good nose. Now that he has found it, let him eat it.
Li Long meant well, but the dog misunderstood. Looking at Li Long, he thought the dog wanted to grab food, and his teeth came out. Li Long was a little unhappy. Seeing that Li Long wasn't moving, the dog thought it hadn't scared him, so it actually took two steps forward and opened its mouth.
Hey, you are trying to bite me!
Li Long looked at his feet and saw a stone on the sandy ground. He kicked the stone and the stone flew over and hit the dog's leg.
The dog screamed and limped away.
Li Long was satisfied.
I took the chopsticks and prepared to eat with the bowl, but it felt a bit inappropriate outside. It's not completely dark yet, so what's the point of a groom eating noodles outside? Kicked out?
So he turned around and entered the house with a bowl in one hand and an enamel basin in the other. After entering the house, he hooked the door with his foot and kicked it back, and the door was closed.
Putting the enamel basin on the kitchen chopping board, Li Long left the kitchen and planned to eat in the living room. As soon as she sat down, she saw the curtain of the master bedroom door lifted, and Gu Xiaoxia leaned half of her body out, leaning against the door. Her eyes looked a little blurry for a week, and then fell on him.
Li Long was a little embarrassed holding the bowl, so he stretched it out and asked:
"Do you want to eat the noodles you just made?"
"...Eat." Gu Xiaoxia nodded and made no move. Li Long stepped forward and handed the bowl over, and after Gu Xiaoxia received it firmly, he said:
"Come, sit at the table and eat. The bowl is still a little hot."
"Okay." Gu Xiaoxia was burned. After a moment, his eyes became clear, "Did I fall asleep just now?"
"Yeah. I'm too tired. There are indeed enough things today."
"Hehe..." Gu Xiaoxia suddenly laughed and came to the table with a bowl. Just as she was about to eat, she put down her chopsticks and asked:
"What about you? How about I give you half?"
"No, there's still room in the kitchen. I'll go scoop it up now." Li Long smiled and went to the kitchen.
Gu Xiaoxia looked at Li Long's back and smiled.
When Li Long brought a bowl of noodles over, he found that Gu Xiaoxia had not started eating yet. He only held half a bowl of salted leeks in his other hand, put it on the table and said:
"It tastes better after mixing it."
"Okay."
The two of them ate together. After eating, Gu Xiaoxia put away the bowls and chopsticks and went to clean them up. When she came back, Li Long had already poured two and a half cups of warm water.
"Drink the water to remove the taste."
"Yeah." Gu Xiaoxia took the cup and sat on the right side of the sofa, next to Li Long. She suddenly blushed.
Li Long didn't see it and drank water slowly.
"What should we do tomorrow?" Gu Xiaoxia felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange and couldn't help but ask while holding a glass of water.
Li Long asked her to take leave, so she took three days off, starting from tomorrow. She had no idea what to do in the past three days.
"Tomorrow? Tomorrow we will pay for the gift." Li Long explained to her, "Look, so many things in the yard are borrowed. We have a wedding today and we have found so many people to help with serving dishes and writing gifts. , I want to thank you tomorrow. The tables, chairs and dishes borrowed in this yard must also be returned..."
"Oh..." Gu Xiaoxia has heard of the term "rewarding the East" before, but she doesn't know. What exactly it does is now clear.
"Come back the day after tomorrow, let's go to your dad's place together." Li Long continued, "You should know this..."
"Isn't it three days to come back?" Gu Xiaoxia was a little confused, "Not the day after tomorrow The next day? "
"Haha, you really haven't understood this." Li Long said with a smile, "Weddings and weddings are counted from the day of the wedding. Tomorrow, the second day, after The day is the third day, so return home on the third day. "So that's how it works..." Gu Xiaoxia suddenly realized, "I heard that returning home in three days didn't count."< br>
"Okay, don't talk so much, it's getting late, we should rest." Li Long stood up, put down the cup, reached out to pull Gu Xiaoxia up, took the cup from her hand and put it on On the table, he pulled her into the bedroom.
Gu Xiaoxia struggled slightly, then let Li Long lead her to the bedside.
"Look, the clothes are wrinkled. They need to be washed and ironed tomorrow." Li Long helped Gu Xiaoxia unbutton the red wedding dress and said as he unbuttoned it, "I'm just going to wear this dress today and hang it up at the back. Let's keep it as a souvenir."
"Why can't you wear it in the future?" Gu Xiaoxia was shy. When Li Long said this, she felt a little pity. Why can such good clothes be worn only once?
"Then don't you think it's strange that you usually wear red clothes when you go out? It's not very good in the office, right? This dress is a wedding dress, the color is bright, it's okay to wear it today. This day is festive, but it's usually worn It’s a little weird to go out.”
The explanation was normal, but Li Long started to take off Gu Xiaoxia's shirt, and she immediately broke away. This was a subconscious reaction, and then under Li Long's strange eyes, he whispered: "I...I Come on your own.”
This day is a magical day for every young couple. Gu Xiaoxia had no intention of resisting, but she just felt a little ashamed to ask Li Long to take off her clothes.
"Do you want to turn on the lights?" The room was a bit dark, or maybe it was because the two of them were used to darkness. In fact, it was almost dark outside now.
"No!" Gu Xiaoxia shouted. She was worried that Li Long would turn on the light, which would make her even more embarrassed.
Would rather everything be done in the dark.
"Okay." Li Long smiled and began to untie his clothes, a little impatient.
Inevitable.
Gu Xiaoxia took off her shirt slowly, and then other clothes. When the two of them got into bed, Li Long said comfortably:
"It's better to lie down than to be comfortable. It's really... ...It’s still comfortable under the quilt.”
It’s a little cold under the quilt, but it’s nothing to these two passionate young people.
Gu Xiaoxia was convinced. Just when she nodded, Li Long stretched out his hand.
Although the two of them usually get along like an old couple, she was still a little nervous when they actually got into the same bed. No, she should be very nervous.
"Don't be nervous, we are a family, right?" Li Long gently held Gu Xiaoxia's hand and sighed, "I didn't expect...or I really didn't think so more than a year ago. The thought of being able to marry you home..."
"I also didn't expect that you would later turn into someone unknown to everyone, just like you before and after last year. You are completely different from me." Gu Xiaoxia picked up the topic habitually, "I didn't know anything about you before. I only heard about it from Wu Shufen. Later I discovered that some things will change when they are passed from person to person. "It's outrageous."
When Li Long mentioned this name again, he felt a little unfamiliar. He smiled and said:
"Actually, I think it's quite magical. In fact, I used to be a bit confused and not very sensible."
As he said this, he tentatively stretched out his hand and slowly pulled Gu Xiaoxia into his arms. Gu Xiaoxia's body trembled and she resisted slightly, but in the end she snuggled up to Li Long's chest obediently.
"Today Director Li said that if you want to, you can directly become a formal worker of the supply and marketing cooperative. Is it true?" Gu Xiaoxia tried hard to think of other issues to distract herself, because she felt that Li Long's hands slowly became dishonest.
"Well, it was like this half a year ago. At that time, I participated in several things in Shicheng. I was in charge of the name of the supply and marketing cooperative, which was regarded as a face for the supply and marketing cooperative. At that time, it was impossible to become a formal worker. It’s a problem. I’m afraid it’s hard to say now. After all, things have passed and the situation is different now.”
Li Long is still very sober. Li Xiangqian is the icing on the cake and helps him become famous in front of the team. But he knew exactly what it was like. If this kind of thing is not finalized at the time, it will be very difficult afterwards.
"Besides, after joining the supply and marketing cooperative, we receive dead wages every month. If we want to live a better life and lay a good foundation for our children in the future, it will cost money. I just want to not be tied up and earn money outside. The money is more convenient and you can earn more."
As he said this, Li Long leaned into Gu Xiaoxia's ear and whispered:
"So. As I am working hard to make money, you should also work hard to give birth to a pair of twins. The current family planning control is so tight that we can only have one.
"How do you work hard on this?" Gu Xiaoxia was still a little confused, so she asked directly, and then she reacted and made a big blush.
"Let's work hard now. It's so late. Let's not talk about anything else. Let's study together how to give birth to twins..." Li Longshou became even more dishonest and asked by the way, "Listen Did dad tell you, are there any twins in your family?”
Giving birth to twins requires genetic inheritance. Li Long remembered this very clearly.
"...It seems there is?" Gu Xiaoxia was no longer speaking fluently, "Wait...I'll ask my dad the day after tomorrow..."
The voice became strange.
Not suitable for children.
Then the next day came.
Gu Xiaoxia finally knew why Li Long insisted on asking her to take leave. If you don't ask for leave, you won't be able to take this class.
Fortunately, two people live alone in a big yard, and there are not so many rules. They just need to get up before the helper comes.
Li Long is still relatively energetic. Although he broke the record, to be honest, he still has some energy left.
I hummed a song proudly and made breakfast, then asked Gu Xiaoxia to get up and eat. Gu Xiaoxia got up and got dressed. She felt that she had changed both physically and mentally. Her mood was a bit complicated, but she was still quite moved when she saw Li Long bringing the food to the table.
"I will do all the work from now on." Gu Xiaoxia said as she went to wash up, "You are a grown man who wants to make money outside, I will take care of the things in this house. Although I may not be able to do it well, But I will learn. Let’s live our lives together.”
Li Long smiled. There is no pretentious "it's all your fault" from women in later TV dramas. Instead, there is recognition of family and responsibility. This is the charm of women in this era. This is real feminism.
After the two of them finished eating, Gu Xiaoxia went to clean up, and Li Long began to take out some materials from the kitchen. They got up later, and it was already eleven or twelve o'clock after dinner. Li Jianguo, Liang Yuemei and the others came over soon, and then those who helped came over.
Li Long does not need to worry about Houdong's affairs. He only needs to do what Li Jianguo arranges.
Gu Xiaoxia is also working hard to integrate into this family and do what she should do as a hostess. Although she made a little joke, no one laughed at her.
In Sister Lu’s words, it’s enough for a state cadre, a member of the public, and someone who eats commercial food to work with us without saying anything more.
I didn’t look at who she was. She wasn’t married yet, but I just married a man who ate commercial food. Her eyes were looking up to the sky!
There is no way. Most of the gossip in rural areas comes from comparison. Everyone is still sharp-eyed. This person is also afraid of comparison, and there will be a gap when comparing.
After a busy day in Zoudong, Tao Daqiang drove his tractor and returned all the borrowed tables, chairs and benches. Originally, Li Long wanted to drive it himself, but Tao Daqiang refused, saying that he should not do this as a groom official, and that he would have the opportunity in the future.
The things were sent away, and the helpers all had towels, soaps, cigarettes, etc. stuffed by Li Jianguo in their hands. Everyone was very satisfied. Li Long and Gu Xiaoxia brought some of the remaining processed semi-finished products to Li Jianguo's house, and some were left for Chen Lirong to take back.
Because they have been processed, some have been oiled, and some have been cooked, they can be stored for a few more days under the current weather. My father-in-law, Gu Boyuan, didn't send it there because there should be a lot of things left there.
That afternoon, the yard became a lot quieter. Tao Daqiang and the others also dismantled the stove and tidied up the yard. There is only a little residual smell, and the couplets and red characters indicating that a wedding was held here.
The two of them packed up the room early, and when it got dark, they entered the bedroom together and studied how to give birth to twins.
Eating the marrow and knowing the taste, Li Long feels that Gu Xiaoxia has made rapid progress in this aspect.
When we returned home on the third day, both of us got up relatively early. Li Long packed wine, cans, cigarettes and other regular gifts and hung them on the front of his bicycle. He asked Gu Xiaoxia to sit on the back and rode to Gu Boyuan's home.
Gu Xiaoxia's bicycle was also there, but Li Long didn't let her ride it because he was worried that she would be uncomfortable.
Another reason why I went so early was that I wanted to ask Gu Boyuan early whether there were twins in Gu Xiaoxia's family genes.
I had never thought about this before, but as soon as I got married and thought about children, Li Long became a little anxious.
The Gu family’s yard has also been cleaned up. There was only a small piece of soil of different colors left where the two stoves had been. Seeing Li Long and his daughter coming together, Gu Boyuan, who was wearing a suit in the yard, had a smile on his face, but he still complained:
“Why are you here so early?”
“You’re late. I'm afraid you'll scold me." Li Long smiled, propped up the car, carried the things into the house, and said:
"Uncle Gu, I have something important to ask you."
Although Li Long changed his tune when accepting the bride, he still called him Uncle Gu as a habit, and Gu Boyuan thought this was normal. After all, Li Qingxia's age was there, and Gu Boyuan himself felt uncomfortable with him being of the same age as someone of such an age.
"You ask." Gu Boyuan could see that his daughter looked good and Li Long was also very energetic. Although he had known for a long time that this was a perfect marriage, he still had to see it with his own eyes.
"Does the Gu family have the gene to give birth to twins?"
As soon as Li Long asked the question, Gu Boyuan's expression changed.
Li Long saw it, there was a story in it! (End of this chapter)
