An Hongdou didn't think much about it and took it.

Her eyes fixed on the layout on the blueprint and her vision instantly lit up.

There are not many houses, but they have all the necessary facilities, and they are clearly marked, especially the bathrooms and toilets, which are not the open-air sheds common in rural areas.

"What do you think...?" Shen Xiangzhi's tone was a little tentative. As far as he knew, An Hongdou should be illiterate.

At this moment, this woman who was staring at the drawings so seriously seemed weird to him no matter how he looked at her.

This question brought An Hongdou back to his senses.

Then she remembered that the original owner was illiterate.

Fortunately, I reacted in time, otherwise I would have been exposed, An Hongdou thought to herself.

Pretending to be confused, she looked up, then down at the blueprint and asked, "Are you asking me what the picture on it looks like? It looks pretty good, but there are all these horizontal and vertical lines in the room, and I don't quite understand what they mean. And the words on it, I... I've never been to school, and I can't read."

An Hongdou lowered her head appropriately, pretending to be worried because she was afraid that Chen Xiangzhi would despise her for not being able to read.

Shen Xiangzhi felt that it was normal, smiled, and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand. If you have any doubts, you can ask me. Moreover, if you want to learn to read in the future, I can also teach you."

An Hongdou's eyes lit up instantly, "Really?"

That would be great, she doesn't want to be illiterate all her life.

"Of course." Shen Xiangzhi nodded.

He also didn't want his wife to be illiterate, as they might not be able to communicate with each other in the future.

However, Shen Xiangzhi still didn't hold much hope for An Hongdou.

Considering An Hongdou's previous reputation, he didn't expect her to learn a lot. It would be enough for her to just recognize some words and understand some principles.

"How about this, I can't go to work recently anyway, you can come to me anytime you want to learn." Shen Xiangzhi thought, when his leg is healed, he will have to go to work, and by then he may not have much time to teach her.

"It's a pity that I promised my second uncle that I would go to work honestly in the future, otherwise I would really be tempted." An Hongdou said regretfully.

Shen Xiangzhi was stunned, "You went to work?"

As far as he knew, An Hongdou had only been to the fields a few times in her life, so how come she was suddenly working?

Seeing Chen Xiangzhi's disbelief, An Hongdou teased him deliberately and said, "That's not true. My family used to support me, but now we've gotten married. Although I still live at home, I can't let them support me forever. Of course, I have to earn money and work points to have food to eat!"

Shen Xiangzhi opened his mouth, but only said one sentence, "It's good to work."

If he didn't pretend to be arrogant and say that he would support An Hongdou, not to mention that the relationship between them was not too close, his own situation was not good at all.

When she left the educated youth point, she was still holding the drawings given to her by Shen Xiangzhi.

People who had gone to work had returned one after another. Not far from the gate, Third Sister-in-law Wang Dahua was chattering with a few other women. When they saw her coming back, they shouted from a distance, "Little sister, tell them quickly whether you went to work today. They didn't believe me when I told them. These old women, when have I, Wang Dahua, ever lied? Come here quickly to testify for me!"

"Wang Dahua, who are you calling an old woman? You keep making yourself look so young, but don't you look at your own face? You're almost like an old pickled vegetable!" The woman who got along better with Wang Dahua also began to attack her mercilessly.

Wang Dahua was not angry. She turned around and smiled as they exposed each other's shortcomings.

An Hongdou thought that there should not be a term called "bad friend" now, otherwise, the two of them would definitely be awarded the title of best bad friend duo.

Since Wang Dahua had already called her, it would be bad for her not to go.

An Hongdou walked up to them, greeted them one by one, and then asked Wang Dahua, "How did Third Sister-in-law know that I went to work today?"

When she went to look for her second uncle, the whole family had already left. She was alone in the mountains at noon and did not come back. She only asked An Changzheng and An Changyue to tell her family that they didn't have to wait for her for dinner.

However, after asking this question, An Hongdou felt that she might be stupid.

How could she forget that her third sister-in-law is a gossip expert in the village, Wang Dahua, who is known as the loudspeaker. Is there anything in the village that can be hidden from her?

As expected, just after An Hongdou asked this, Wang Dahua said, "Didn't the kid from Gao Lin's family go home and tell his mother that he met you when he was picking grass for pigs in the mountains at noon? His mother told me again in the afternoon when she went to the fields..."

What she didn't say was that after her publicity, almost everyone in the village knew that An Hongdou went to work today.

Although An Hongdou did not explicitly say that she had indeed gone there, the meaning of her words was very clear.

In an instant, the surrounding was filled with chattering sounds.

Someone asked her why she suddenly wanted to go to work?

Some people praised her for growing up and becoming sensible after getting married.

Some people also asked her how she felt after marrying Shen Xiangzhi?

In short, when these old ladies get together, there is nothing they can't talk about.

An Hongdou thought she was quite thick-skinned, but compared to this, she was still far from it.

In the end, he was so embarrassed that he couldn't stand it and made an excuse to go home, but he turned around and wiped a cold sweat.

People in later generations say that people in the past were reserved. Sorry, she didn’t feel that.

In particular, the three names of An Hongdou were already well-known in the village. Coupled with the handsome and immortal-like Shen Xiangzhi, it can be said that the curiosity of the villagers was aroused. What would it be like for these two people to live together?

Now that they had caught the protagonist, and it was rare for An Hongdou to speak calmly, they naturally wanted to find out the truth.

After escaping from the gossip circle, An Hongdou still admired Wang Dahua for being so enthusiastic in chatting with them all day long, which was also a kind of skill.

When I walked into the house, I saw a group of nephews and nieces chattering in the yard around some pheasant chicks in a basket.

The eldest brother was tidying up the place over at the chicken coop. He said that he wanted to set aside a separate area for feeding the chicks. Also, there had to be a layer of netting above them because pheasants can fly and he was afraid that they would grow up and fly away, then all the chickens would have been raised in vain!

After arranging dinner, Old Lady An came out of the kitchen. When she saw An Hongdou, she asked, "Hongdou, the kids said you brought them a roast chicken today?"

When she just returned to her room, she saw there was still one left on the table in her room. She knew without hesitation that it must have been left for her by her daughter.

While Mrs. An was touched, she couldn't help but blame the girl for going up the mountain again.
