Because many times the initiators of conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are actually men, and some men are not even good at being messengers.
Li Xia smiled and said, "It's not a big expense. It's what I should do. Weicheng has been away from home these years. Thanks to you for taking care of grandpa."
The family chatted for a while, and Chen Dongju said that they were tired after sitting on the train for such a long time, so they went to the room to take a nap and rest.
Gu Weicheng and An An were in Grandpa Gu's room talking with Grandpa Gu. Grandpa Gu was particularly fond of this great-grandson. He loved to listen to whatever An An said and was very supportive.
Because he slept in a soft sleeper this time, Li Xia rested well on the train and didn't feel tired at the moment.
So after returning to the room, Li Xia started writing in the room.
The newspaper will not be suspended during the Chinese New Year, which means that Li Xia has to keep writing. Otherwise, if she fails to submit her manuscript by the deadline, the newspaper will probably be overwhelmed by the letters from readers urging her to submit her manuscript.
Last time, Qiao Ran told her that a reader actually ran directly to the newspaper office and asked the editors if they knew the next plot of "Zhao Di".
Li Xia couldn't help but think of a story she had heard before about a great writer who was blocked at the door by readers because he wrote a plot in which the heroine was defiled by a villain.
I thought it was a good thing that she never liked to write this kind of plot and hated it because she couldn't understand why a woman was defiled.
Li Xia's brain works very fast, but her hand speed can't keep up with her brain speed, so she can only write 2,000 to 3,000 words per hour. She often thinks that it would be great if she had a computer, so that she can write 5,000 to 6,000 words per hour.
It’s just a pity that although computers were already available at this time, they were not mass-produced and were very expensive. And it was not until the 1990s that computers could be connected to the Internet.
Before that, she could only write by hand.
When I had written almost three thousand words, Gu Weicheng and An An came back from Grandpa Gu's room.
Seeing that Li Xia was writing, Gu Weicheng quickly made a gesture to An An to keep quiet, but An An also made a gesture to him to keep quiet at the same time.
The father and son could not help but smile silently at each other due to their tacit understanding.
It is a consensus reached between the father and his daughter-in-law that when their mother is writing, they cannot make any noise to disturb her.
Li Xia wrote another thousand words, ending the story, and then stopped writing.
Looking back, he found that Gu Weicheng and An An were already in the room. He raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked, "When did you come back? How come I didn't know?"
"I've been back for a while. I saw you were still writing, so I didn't dare disturb you." Gu Weicheng said, "Your hands must be sore. Let me rub them for you."
"Let me rub it for mom too!" An An came over quickly and rubbed Li Xia's other hand. He also patted her back with all his strength, and asked from time to time, "Mom, is this strength okay?"
"Yes, very comfortable." Li Xia enjoyed the service of the father and son and felt like a landlady.
But the two farmhands, Gu Weicheng and An An, were willing to serve her.
The bed was against the wall, and Gu Weicheng let An An sleep at the innermost part on the grounds that it would be less likely for her to fall off the bed if she slept against the wall.
In fact, it was so that he could hug Li Xia when he went to bed at night, and he happily occupied the middle position.
When An An fell asleep, Gu Weicheng put his arms around Li Xia's waist. Li Xia's heart skipped a beat and she glared at the man in the dark.
I didn't expect that Gu Weicheng's ability to adapt to darkness was so strong that he was actually seen by him. Gu Weicheng said with a smile: "Wife, don't stare at me, I just hugged you, I won't do anything."
Li Xia then realized that she had misunderstood his meaning, but she didn't feel embarrassed. After all, this man is like this all the time. It seems that he can never be satisfied and he remembers his menstrual periods better than she does!
"Wife." Gu Weicheng rested his chin on Li Xia's shoulder. Perhaps because he deliberately lowered his voice, his voice seemed more magnetic.
He said, "You know, the way you cursed today was very powerful and attractive."
Li Xia raised her eyebrows and teased, "It seems like you quite like me scolding people? Don't you think it makes you look aggressive?"
Li Xia is actually quite good at scolding people. After all, she has been studying in a boarding school since junior high school, and later she went out to work alone. If a girl is too easy to talk to, she will be easily bullied.
As for why she didn't show off her talent when she was in the army, it was mainly because she was afraid that as a military family member and now working in the propaganda department of the army, it would have a bad impact if she cursed at others.
But now she is thousands of miles away from the army, what influence is she afraid of?
She will scold anyone who dares to scold her!
"I don't think so. I feel relieved when I see you scolding people so well. It seems that no one can bully you in the future." Gu Weicheng said with a chuckle, "You are worthy of being a girl from Hunan."
"Of course not. If you bully me, I will scold you too." Li Xia snorted.
Gu Weicheng said quickly: "I can't bear to bully such a good daughter-in-law."
At most... he would just bully a little when something like that happened.
"By the way, Weicheng, I have something important to tell you." Before going to bed, Li Xia suddenly remembered something important.
Gu Weicheng said: "What's the matter? Tell me."
"When you came into the room to find grandpa today, I was arguing with Zhang Guifen. I said that her miscarriage was either because the fetus was not well developed and could not be saved, so she deliberately framed you, or the pregnancy was not due to the wrong pregnancy period, so it was not Gu Changzheng's." Li Xia said.
Gu Weicheng called Gu Changzheng by his name directly, and Li Xia couldn't call Gu Changzheng "father-in-law", so he just called him by his name directly.
A man like that was not worthy of being Gu Weicheng's father, so naturally there was no need for her to respect him.
"At that time, I found that her expression was a little strange, and I guessed that what I said was very likely right. As for the reason, we have to check it out ourselves to find out." Li Xia said.
Gu Weicheng nodded in the darkness.
Although he no longer cares about what happened back then, he still wants to get to the bottom of it.
…
On the other side, Gu Yongnian was also having a night talk with his wife Ding Hehua.
After getting into bed, Gu Yongnian suddenly remembered something and slapped his forehead, saying, "Look at my poor memory. I forgot to deliver the newspapers that the educated youth asked me to buy. Forget it, I'll deliver it tomorrow."
Ding Hehua tucked in the quilts for the two children and said, "Your memory has been bad for a long time."
Gu Yongnian added, "Wife, do you know who wrote the article called "Zhao Di" that the educated youth like to read recently? It was written by Weicheng's wife! Also, you didn't see it today, but Weicheng's wife is really amazing. You know Zhang Guifen, she's very good at talking, right? But when it comes to Weicheng's wife, she can't win the argument."
Ding Hehua's face fell a little when she heard Gu Yongnian mention "the wife of Weicheng" so many times.
She bit her lip and said, "You always say Acropolis's wife, Acropolis's wife. Are Acropolis's wives really as powerful as you say?"
