Chapter 406 A Pair

As he said this, he picked up the shoulder pole and took out the things he bought from the trunk of the bus.

The Xue family already knew the time of their return in advance. Gu Xizhou, Xue Wen and Xue Wu used a carrying pole to carry the things Gu Xizhou bought from the provincial capital from the station back to the Su family's old house.

Before Su Nanzhi went to the provincial capital, she gave the key to the old house to Liang Hongying. After Gu Xizhou sent a telegram to ask when he would return home, Liang Hongying cleaned the Su family's old house.

When Su Nanzhi returned home, what she saw was a clean yard and room.

Liang Hongying and Xue Jiawang had already prepared the meal early. They were shocked to see Gu Xizhou and his three sons coming home carrying large and small bags.

"Xiao Gu, why did you buy so many things?"

In the telegram Gu Xizhou sent back, in addition to telling the time and flight of his return, he also said that he had bought some things for the wedding and asked someone to pick him up at the station.

Although Liang Hongying knew that Gu Xizhou was not a stingy person, she estimated that two men could get it back. She didn't expect that Gu Xizhou actually moved back all the things from the provincial capital's supply and marketing cooperative.

"Don't we sell these enamel washbasins at the supply and marketing cooperative? I just bought a pair there the day before yesterday."

Su Nanzhi glanced at the embarrassed Gu Xizhou with amusement, and immediately spoke out to save the situation, "Aunt Liang, the supply and marketing cooperative in the provincial capital is cheaper."

"Cheap? It must be a lot of trouble to bring it back from such a long distance." Liang Hongying was puzzled. Liang Hongying was puzzled. "How much did you buy this enamel washbasin? The enamel basin I bought cost 4 yuan. The one in the provincial capital shouldn't be cheaper than this..."

Seeing that Liang Hongying wanted to ask more questions, Su Nanzhi immediately pulled Liang Hongying into the room before Gu Xizhou could see her invincible face.

"Aunt Liang, can you help me see if there is anything else I need to buy besides these?"

Liang Hongying was not a stupid person and she reacted as soon as she walked into the room.

"Xiao Gu, was he deceived?"

As she spoke, she couldn't hide the smile in her eyes.

Su Nanzhi nodded. "I believed everything the teller at the supply and marketing cooperative said. I was like a big fool."

Liang Hongying couldn't help but poke her head. "You... grown men are rough at work. You don't even know how to be careful about these things."

Without waiting for Su Nanzhi's answer, she waved her hand again, "It's good like this now. Don't let housework delay your career. Work is much more important than housework."

Su Nanzhi nodded obediently and gave Aunt Liang a thumbs up.

"As expected of my Aunt Liang, you have progressive ideas. You are more open-minded than those aunties who always say that their husbands are their gods."

Liang Hongying was amused by her appearance again and said proudly: "That's right, although your Aunt Liang is not in good health, her thinking will not decline."

"Women still need to have their own careers so that they can have status at home."

Liang Hongying looked at Su Nanzhi, who looked thinner but still full of energy, and waved her hand again, "But don't work too hard. Your health is the most important thing. Look at you, have you lost weight again..."

Seeing Liang Hongying was about to start a long speech, Su Nanzhi immediately interrupted her and changed the subject: "Aunt Liang, has anything new happened in the county in the past two weeks since I left?"

Liang Hongying saw through Su Nanzhi's thoughts at a glance and smiled helplessly.

However, since Su Nanzhi didn't want to listen to her nagging, she didn't say anything. At most, she would privately ask Gu Xizhou to take good care of Su Nanzhi. After all, Su Nanzhi would follow Gu Xizhou to join the army in a while, and she couldn't do anything about it.

Suppressing the loss and sadness in her heart, Liang Hongying talked about what happened in Zhoushan County after Su Nanzhi left.

A few days after Su Nanzhi and Gu Xizhou left, the Qin father and son were sentenced. Qin Youliang was sentenced to life imprisonment, and Qin Lie went directly to the military court because of his private possession of foreign books and his previous service in the army. Although the crime was not announced, it was estimated that his sentence would not be easy.

After hearing what happened to the two, Su Nanzhi didn't expect that she would feel surprisingly calm.

"The Qin family finally got their comeuppance. God has eyes."

At this point, Liang Hongying's face darkened. "I just didn't deal with Qin Lie's wife either."

Su Nanzhi looked at Liang Hongying in surprise, "Aunt Liang, have you met Zhao Xue?"

She thought that Zhao Xue had left Zhoushan County after she rejected her last time.

I didn’t expect that Zhao Xue was still in Zhoushan County and even went to find Liang Hongying.

Liang Hongying had a complicated expression. "That woman had a big belly and was as thin as a stick. She looked really pitiful, but the words she said could make people angry to death."

"She said Xiao Gu couldn't give birth. She said she would give the baby to you and Xiao Gu if she waited two months. She is willing to let you and Xiao Gu raise the baby. As long as you give her some nutrition money, it will be fine."

Su Nanzhi didn't expect Zhao Xue to still be willing to give up. "You didn't agree to her, did you?"

"How could I agree to that? You and Xiao Gu have only been married for a few months. There's no rush for a child." Liang Hongying said with disdain, "Besides, even if Xiao Gu really can't have children, there are plenty of children with clean backgrounds waiting to be adopted. Her child wouldn't be in the queue."

Su Nanzhi immediately gave him a thumbs-up and said, "Comrade Liang, your ideological awareness is really high!"

She didn't tell Liang Hongying that Gu Xizhou was infertile. There was no point in telling her except to make the elders worry.

"Later, your Uncle Xue called the police and had Zhao Xue expelled from Zhoushan County. I don't know if she went to Hongqi County or returned to her parents' home. After she gave birth to the child, she had a lot of hard times waiting for her."

Su Nanzhi didn't care about Zhao Xue's hard life, but suddenly thought of a problem that she had always ignored.

In their previous life, Zhao Xue and Qin Lie had no children. In this life, they got married and had a child, whose birth month was very close to Qin Xiaofeng's.

If she has the possibility of being reborn once, then is it possible that Qin Xiaofeng was born from Zhao Xue's belly?

Then Su Nanzhi shook her head, feeling that she was possessed by a demon.

Even if Qin Xiaofeng came out of Zhao Xue's belly, Qin Xiaofeng would have fulfilled his wish in his previous life to have Zhao Xue be his mother.

She just needs to bless the mother and son.

Soon, the sound of Xue Jiawang calling for dinner outside the house interrupted Su Nanzhi's thoughts.

After finishing the meal, Xue Jiawang took out a piece of red paper from his pocket.

"This is the time I asked a master in the county to calculate."

There were two dates written on the red paper, one five days later and the other one a month later.

"You guys pick which time you want?"

Before Su Nanzhi could even read the date clearly, Gu Xizhou said without hesitation, "Let's choose five days later."

Xue Jiawang couldn't help but jokingly said, "Xiao Gu, can't you wait even for a day?"

Gu Xizhou's ears turned red, but he maintained a calm expression on his face and nodded.

"I've already bought everything for the wedding, and I'm afraid it'll go bad if I keep it for too long."

Xue Shuang ate the wedding candy and said vaguely: "Brother Gu, don't worry, the wedding candy can be kept for a long time without going bad."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter. Gu Xizhou, who was trying hard to remain calm, also lost his composure and his handsome face turned red.

Xue Jiawang patted his youngest son's head with a joking look on his face.

"Your brother Gu wants to get married, what do you know as a little brat?"
