"No."
These things were all taken from her personal space, so it's not a lie.
"Why."
Gu Changfeng sighed.
Be careful in everything.
He knew that no matter how much he said, his wife wouldn't listen.
Fortunately, we have received information that the restrictions on private trading have been relaxed, and there are not many people going to the black market to arrest people anymore.
Have you had lunch?
Ruan Qiushui glanced at her watch; it was already two o'clock. No wonder she was so hungry.
"I haven't eaten yet, I'm waiting for you."
Gu Changfeng wanted to wait for his wife to come back so they could eat together, but he didn't know when she would be back.
"Is it okay if we have noodles with shredded pork? I'll make it."
Gu Changfeng glanced at the basket on his back and saw that there was a bundle of noodles and pork on hand.
"Okay, I'll help."
Ruan Qiushui followed behind Gu Changfeng.
"I have so many dishes I want to eat. How about we have braised chicken with mushrooms, stir-fried rabbit with two kinds of peppers, twice-cooked pork, boiled sliced pork, cold shredded vegetables, and hot and sour shredded potatoes with rice for dinner?"
While helping to cut the meat into shreds, Ruan Qiushui asked Gu Changfeng for his opinion.
"Honey, you make the decisions, I'll take care of the execution."
I cook whatever my wife likes to eat.
"I thought you would think I was being extravagant."
Ruan Qiushui was in a great mood.
"If you like it, it's not a waste."
He's working hard to earn money so that his wife can have the financial security to spend it.
I just need to find some side hustles.
The two ate some noodles and then busied themselves preparing dinner.
"Honey, what are you going to do with the last chicken?"
Gu Changfeng looked at the two live chickens and asked his wife for her opinion.
"How about we raise a chicken at home? That way, it'll be convenient to get eggs later."
Isn't it said that every household can raise chickens per person? It's not unreasonable for two people to raise one chicken.
"good."
Gu Changfeng nodded, pondering where to build the chicken coop later.
That evening, Gu Guangrong and Xie Xiuying led their son, daughter-in-law, and daughter to their new home.
"Father, Mother, please come in and sit down."
Ruan Qiushui was busy serving dishes when she saw Gu Guangrong and his group arrive, so she quickly invited them to sit down.
"Wow, so much meat and vegetables! It's even better than what we ate during Chinese New Year."
Gu Changshu swallowed hard and quickly sat down in front of his favorite boiled pork slices.
This dish smells the best. Although it looks like there are a lot of chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns, the spiciness is just too tempting.
"Father, eldest brother, second brother, and fourth brother, I've prepared a bottle of wine. Let's have a drink later."
Gu Changfeng brought out the last dish, then turned around and took out a bottle of baijiu from the kitchen cabinet.
"Quickly, quickly, pour some for Dad."
The little bit of Moutai left at home was long gone, and he was still craving it. Now he can finally satisfy his craving for alcohol.
"I'll do it."
Gu Changshu was afraid that he wouldn't fill his glass, so he stepped forward, took the bottle, and quickly poured wine for his father and three older brothers, before finally pouring himself a full glass.
The men in their family all like to drink.
However, he has a good habit: even when he's really drunk, he goes home and falls asleep immediately.
Compared to the man next door, who throws tantrums and curses his parents, this is much better.
After a few rounds of drinks, the men, feeling slightly tipsy, were led home by their respective wives.
"Little sister, wait a moment."
Ruan Qiushui went back into the house, took out a pink silk scarf, and tied it around her neck.
"I remember it's your birthday in a couple of days, little sister. This is a birthday gift your sister-in-law prepared in advance. Happy birthday!"
Ruan Qiushui hugged Gu Xiaoxiao.
"Third Sister-in-law, I love your gift so much, thank you."
Gu Xiaoxiao touched the silky scarf around her neck, looking at the girlish color, and was overjoyed.
This is a silk scarf that's only sold in department stores; people would beg for it if they could, and I heard it's very expensive.
"Third sister-in-law, this silk scarf must have cost a lot of money."
Gu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, then took off the silk scarf to return it to Ruan Qiushui.
"Your happiness is priceless, so please accept it without worrying about the price."
She has plenty of these scarves in her inventory; if she runs out, she can just make another batch.
"Then thank you, Third Sister-in-law."
Touched, Gu Xiaoxiao happily tied the scarf around her neck again.
…
The next morning, Gu Changfeng left his wife a fried egg and a bowl of tomato and lean meat porridge, then rode his bicycle to work in the county.
For five consecutive days, Gu Changfeng, busy with work, became more and more tired each day.
That morning.
What time are you coming back tonight?
Ruan Qiushui helped Gu Changfeng button up his collar.
These past few days, Gu Changfeng has been leaving early and returning late, looking exhausted. Several times she even fell asleep before coming back.
"I'll try to get home as quickly as possible for dinner."
"Honey, I'm sorry. I've been so busy with the case these past few days that I haven't had time to spend with you."
Gu Changfeng hugged Ruan Qiushui and kissed her forehead apologetically.
It's almost done. We've already followed the clues and found a key suspect; we're just waiting to carry out the arrest plan.
"I'm just worried about your health. If you're really too busy, there's no need to rush back."
Gu Changfeng worked tirelessly, traveling back and forth between the brigade and the county every day from dawn till dusk, and Ruan Qiushui was worried that he would break down.
I'm so busy with work, I might as well stay at the bureau at night and get some more sleep.
"I see."
Gu Changfeng touched Ruan Qiushui's face, said goodbye to his wife, and rode away on his bicycle.
…
"Finally, I can go off work and rest."
After giving Luo Cheng his last acupuncture treatment, Ruan Qiushui packed her things, closed the door, and went back to her new house.
"Third son's wife, would you like to come over for dinner tonight?"
Xie Xiuying was also heading home after work when she ran into Ruan Qiushui on the way.
Her third son hasn't been home for dinner for the past few days, and his wife is home alone, probably feeling bored.
"Mom, no need. There are still leftovers at home. I'll just grab something to eat when I get back."
Ruan Qiushui felt very hot and wanted to go into her space to take a bath and soak in a hot spring.
"Okay. If you don't have time to cook in the future, just come over to my place."
Xie Xiuying didn't insist and turned back to prepare dinner.
Ruan Qiushui closed the courtyard gate, returned to the house, and went directly into the space.
"Ah, that feels so good."
Ruan Qiushui was soaking in the hot spring and didn't want to move at all.
Once Ruan Qiushui had rested, a new round of planting and harvesting began.
The only advantage of Gu Changfeng returning late is that she can freely enter the spatial dimension.
By the time Ruan Qiushui had finished eating and drinking and left the space, it was already dark.
Ruan Qiushui put the lunchbox she had saved for Gu Changfeng into her own bowl and put it in the refrigerator. She then returned to her bedroom to read for a while.
If Gu Changfeng hadn't had someone install the electrical wiring, she would still be using a kerosene lamp to read right now.
Fortunately, they didn't reveal whether a television was installed, otherwise their house would have no private space and would have become an open-air movie theater.
As night deepened, Ruan Qiushui closed her book and yawned.
Gu Changfeng hadn't returned yet. Ruan Qiushui finished washing up and lay down to rest.
"Keta".
In her dazed state, Ruan Qiushui heard the sound of a lock being opened and wondered if Gu Changfeng had returned.
