"I'll do the whole show. To thank the villagers for taking care of you over the past three years, I, as your 'husband', cannot just say a few words of thanks. So I'll ask the village chief for help. I'll pay, he'll do the work, and we'll host a buffet at their house and treat the villagers to a good meal."

"So, that's why you went out yesterday?"

"That's right."

"Thank you so much for thinking about us, husband~"

Shen Yizi deliberately pinched her throat, and the word "husband" was called out in a gentle and melodious voice.

Gu Xueting's heartbeat was unbalanced for a moment, but soon returned to normal, "I've relied on you to take care of me these days, it's my duty."

The "couple" arrived at the village chief's house and did not communicate along the way.

The village chief's family was relatively well off, with a large blue brick and tile house. The spacious yard could accommodate four banquet tables, and there was also a row of tables and chairs outside the yard.

There was only one table in the main hall, and all the people sitting there were the elders of the village.

After the two arrived, Gu Xueting was immediately invited into the main hall and sat in the main seat.

Shen Yizhi sat down in the yard, next to Aunt Zhao and Aunt Li.

Gu Xueting gave the village chief enough gold leaves, so the meal was quite sumptuous, with all the main dishes including chicken, duck, fish and meat.

The villagers all enjoyed the meal very much.

In the room, Gu Xueting picked up the wine glass and reiterated his previous words of thanks. Then, he drank the wine in the glass.

The village chief laughed: "Mr. Gu is so polite. If it were someone else, we would not stand by and watch them die. There is no need to say more words of thanks. Madam Gu has also helped us a lot in the past three years."

The others nodded in agreement.

"Come on, come on, let's eat. This is all thanks to Master Gu. Otherwise, how could we have such a good meal? We can't even eat such delicious food during the Chinese New Year."

The village chief greeted everyone.

Gu Xueting picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks, but as soon as he put it in his mouth, he felt a huge difference. It was simply incomparable to what Shen Yizi had made.

After getting used to the food she cooks, any other food she cooks is like dregs and rice bran, which is inedible.

But the others ate with gusto, even wolfing down the food.

After the meal, most of the dishes on the table were gone.

The village chief couldn't help feeling awkward when he saw Gu Xueting sitting aside without moving his chopsticks.

Gu Xueting smiled at him, raised his glass and clinked it with him alone, "Uncle Li, I actually have something to ask of you."

"You tell me, I won't refuse anything I can do."

"Don't worry, you can definitely do it."

After the banquet, the villagers were very satisfied.

Gu Xueting was also quite satisfied. He held this banquet not only to thank the villagers, but also to support Shen Yizi.

The village chief also assured him that when he was away, he would do his best to look after Shen Yizhi and his mother and prevent them from being bullied.

In this way, after he leaves, Shen Yizhi and Qing Bao's situation will not become embarrassing.

Whenever he has the chance, he will come to visit Qing Bao.

On the way back, Shen Yizhi walked in front holding Qingbao, while Gu Xueting lagged behind with his hands behind his back.

Qing Bao lay on Shen Yizhi's shoulder, reaching out her little hands to him, and Gu Xueting handed her hand over to him for him to hold.

Shen Yizhi noticed something and turned around suddenly, but Gu Xueting had already withdrawn his hand in time.

When she turned her head, Qing Bao grinned at Gu Xueting, as if he thought he was playing a game with him.

When Gu Xueting saw his smile, the corners of her lips curled up and she reached out to pinch his face.

And this time, Shen Yizi finally caught him.

"You actually hooked up with my son behind my back? What do you want to do?"

Gu Xueting leaned closer to her, "Do you really disagree with my previous proposal?"

Shen Yizhi's heart skipped a beat when he suddenly approached her. She came to her senses and flatly refused, "No."

"Okay." Gu Xueting looked disappointed.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, he suddenly reached out and snatched Qing Bao from her arms, then disappeared in a flash.

Qingbao's cheerful giggles gradually faded away.

"Hey! Where are you taking Qingbao? Come back here—"

Shen Yizi was so angry that he felt like a puffer fish. However, after he calmed down, he couldn't help laughing.

Gu Xueting could actually do such a childish thing!

But she actually thought he was cute like this. What should she do? He was really hopeless! Gu Xueting took Qing Bao out for the whole afternoon and didn't come back until dinner time.

Shen Yizhi sat at the table with his arms crossed, looking over expressionlessly, "You still remember to come back?"

Gu Xueting handed Qing Bao, who was dressed in new clothes and looked like a lucky doll, to her.

Qingbao held a pearl flower in her hand and presented it to her like a treasure.

Looking at the big and small, Shen Yizhi couldn't hold back and burst out laughing. He hugged Qingbao and bit him on the face, "You little bastard! You forgot about your mother now that you have a father, right?"

Gu Xueting's eyes moved. Did she agree to let him be Qing Bao's father? "Since you are so cute, I will forgive you, but don't do it again next time, or I will spank your little butt!"

Shen Yizhi pretended to pat Qingbao on the butt.

Instead of shocking him, the result made him laugh again.

Seeing him smile, she couldn't help but smile too.

Gu Xueting looked at the mother and son who were laughing together, and an unconscious smile appeared on his face.

"Come, put the pearl flowers on for mother."

Shen Yizhi helped Qing Bao stand on his legs.

Qing Bao tried for a long time before she could insert the pearl flower. Her hair, which was originally well combed, was messed up by him. He even broke several strands of her hair.

However, she still felt sweet in her heart when she wore the pearl flowers that her son had personally put on her.

"Whose little baby is this cute, sensible and caring one?"

Shen Yizhi rubbed his little nose.

She thought she had expected his answer, but what he said was: "Daddy!"

Shen Yizhi: “…”

It felt like a hard arrow hit my heart.

"Baby, you don't love me anymore, boohoo..." Shen Yizi pretended to cry.

Qing Bao couldn't help but look at Gu Xueting.

Gu Xueting held his forehead with his hand. Could this woman be any more childish? She actually played this trick on Qing Bao.

"I bought you some rouge and powder. They were all recommended by the shopkeeper. She said that you women will like them. Do you want to take a look?" Gu Xueting said.

Rouge and powder? She usually drinks spiritual spring water and eats spiritual food, and her skin is in perfect condition. Does she still need rouge and powder?

But considering that he bought it for her, she reluctantly took a look at it.

She thought so in her heart, but the smile in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows had already betrayed her.

Gu Xueting opened an exquisitely wrapped wooden box and pushed it over.

Shen Yizi took a look and found that there was quite a complete range of products inside, including facial cream, lipstick, rouge, eyebrow pencil and so on. She dipped her finger in some rouge and applied it on the back of her hand. It felt pretty good and very delicate.

But how could it compare to the cosmetics she made in her previous life? Speaking of cosmetics, she suddenly had an idea. In this life, she had the spiritual spring in her hand, and with the medicinal herbs grown in the space, the cosmetics she made would surely be even better!

Moreover, this is a way to make money.
