"Who is it?"
[He was an old man who was sent down to the countryside.]
Gu Zuozuo frowned. This place was not close to the cowshed, and there was a youth educated camp in between. What was he doing here?
After coaxing the little kid who was clinging to her for a while, Gu Zuozuo said goodbye to the Ma couple and walked out with a basket full of things.
"Gu Zhiqing?"
Xie Changzheng was waiting under the big tree in his worn cotton-padded jacket. When he saw her come out, a look of discomfort flashed across his face. If it weren't for that brat asking him to do so, he would never do such a thing.
"Comrade Xie, what's up?"
Seeing that her face was not in a good state, Xie Changzheng didn't say much, but handed the letter in his hand to her.
"This is what Jinyu left for you."
After taking the letter, Gu Zuozuo opened it and read it quickly, then sneered and returned the letter to Xie Changzheng.
"Sorry to bother you with the trip. I'm not familiar with Comrade Xie. Could you please return the letter to him?"
After saying that, Gu Zuozuo bowed slightly and nodded, then walked around him and went straight back to the educated youth point.
"Host, what did the letter say?"
The system is so curious that it's scratching its head and stretching its neck, but it can't read the host's letter without the host's permission. It's so frustrating!
"It's just some apologies, what's so good about it?"
If apologies were useful, what would the police be for? The original owner was already dead, so what was the point of saying all this? She wouldn't come back to life.
[Host, you really have no interest in him? He's so handsome!]
Gu Zuozuo narrowed his eyes in disgust and almost wanted to throw the system away.
"What the hell are you, a smart person, thinking about? What? The check-in system was changed to a matchmaker system? When? How come I didn't know about it?"
The system is speechless\u003d_\u003d!
Didn't it just say handsome?
"Chirp~"
The little fox that had been sleeping in Gu Zuozuo's arms popped out its confused little head.
"Awake? Just now."
Before the little fox could react, he was thrown into the warm water with a splash.
“Chi!”
"Stop it, look at how dirty you are. If someone didn't know you, they would think you just came back from a pilgrimage. Even Zhu Bajie isn't as dirty as you."
The little fox was scratching at the edge of the basin. Once its originally fluffy fur got wet, its skinny body could be immediately seen.
"Oh, you're still a little girl?"
I'm just too thin, I need to eat some more food.
After washing it several times, I finally changed it from a gray fox to a white fox and handed it aside to wait for the New Year.
Xinchun held the little fox's small body with one hand, and the other arm turned into a silent hair dryer, blowing the little fox's fur.
"Albino red fox?"
Why does it look like a dog? But it's so cute.
After the hair was blown dry, the little fox turned into a fluffy ball again. It was so cute that Gu Zuozuo liked it a little. Who can not like a fox?
"I have to fatten you up before Tiantian and the others come back. They will probably like you very much."
The little fox lay quietly in her arms. It liked the natural and grassy scent on her body.
The system squatted in the corner and drew circles with a sour look on its face. Why could Xinchun leave the space, but it could only stay here and couldn't go out? It also wanted the host to kiss, hug and lift it up high.
The coldest January has passed. The sky is clearing up, the heavy snow has stopped, and the temperature is starting to rise.
The aunts and sisters who had been stuck at home for a whole winter and couldn't go out picked up their shoe uppers and started wandering around gossiping about other people's affairs.
Unexpectedly, the educated youth site that had been ignored in the past was the most lively this year, especially Gu Zuozuo's place. Every day, familiar and unfamiliar aunts and grandmas brought their wives and children to Gu Zuozuo to chat gossip and play cards.
The room was too small to accommodate so many people, so they simply moved a small stool and sat under the eaves to bask in the sun. Because the little fox she raised was discovered, some children also liked to come to her place to see the little fox.
Gu Zuozuo was never stingy. She would treat people with candy, melon seeds and peanuts when they came to visit her. Later, those people were afraid that she would suffer a loss, so they brought their own roasted pine nuts, hazelnuts, walnuts and peanuts to visit her. Occasionally, they would bring her some new and interesting things from visiting relatives.
"Of course it's true! Why would I lie to you?"
Liu Ximei slapped her thigh, scaring the little fox sleeping in Gu Zuozuo's arms so much that its fur stood up. Gu Zuozuo stroked its fur with a smile in his eyes, trying to soothe its frightened heart.
Everyone was eating melon seeds, sewing clothes and making soles of shoes, and listening with great interest to Liu Ximei's gesticulating and chattering about the gossip of the surrounding villages.
Among them, the most talked about is the bustling Red Star Brigade next door.
"That educated young woman is not someone you can easily mess with. After she cried for a few seconds, that man came up to her like a fool. He didn't even look at his fiancée who was lying on the ground. Tsk tsk, so this man still likes those who are weak and delicate. Ah! I'm not talking about you, Gu Zhiqing!"
Gu Zuozuo laughed. Who in the entire Red Flag Brigade would still regard her as a weak person?
As for the educated youth she was talking about, she thought she knew who they were.
"So, women should be very careful when getting married. You're all right now, advocating for free love. It's not like our time, where marriages were determined by parents and matchmakers. Once you got married, it was like you were sold to your in-laws. You couldn't file for divorce even if you were beaten to death."
An old lady was so emotional that she stopped sewing the soles of her shoes and looked blank as she talked about a family she met when she was young.
"When I was still a girl, before liberation, there was a family in our village. The man had a lover outside, but he didn't want to give up his hardworking wife at home, so he kept running around. Later, his wife found out and wanted a divorce, what you call a divorce. As a result, he was almost beaten to death. His parents-in-law, who were always served by him comfortably, fanned the flames. Later, the wife's leg was broken."
