At this moment, Gu Bin sat there like a block of wood, intently roasting potatoes.
He grew angrier the more he looked at it, and couldn't help but kick Gu Bin again.
What a useless man, he doesn't even know his wife has changed her mind about him.
This time, Gu Bin reacted quickly and nimbly dodged Xie Yan's attack.
He looked at Xie Yan speechlessly and couldn't help but ask, "Are you out of your mind?"
"Why have they been targeting me since yesterday!"
Xie Yan was about to explain, but swallowed the words back.
Sigh! This whole thing was just me being jealous for no reason. Occasionally being jealous with your wife is just part of the fun, but if you drag Gu Bin into it, it could easily escalate into a disaster.
So he coughed lightly and said, feigning composure, "It's nothing. I just haven't seen you for a while, so I'm testing your reaction time."
Gu Bin looked suspicious, clearly not believing Xie Yan's explanation.
But Xie Yan didn't want to give him a chance to refute, so he turned around, picked up a notebook, and started writing and drawing on it.
He racked his brains, constantly coming up with ideas for couple's outfits.
Finally, after much effort, he actually designed the couple's clothes he wanted.
Of course, this wouldn't have been possible without the help of professional designer Zhang Shiyu.
Looking at the revised blueprints in her hand, Zhang Shiyu's eyes flashed with surprise. She nodded repeatedly and said with great satisfaction, "I guarantee that you and Yuehui will look very good in these clothes."
Xie Yan smiled with satisfaction upon hearing this, "One camel-colored, one beige. Do you have any fabric on your end?"
Zhang Shiyu nodded confidently, "Don't worry, I guarantee I'll make it for you when you wear it this year."
Even if there's no material available, she'll find a way to get it.
Xie Yan was very satisfied, and then took out a set of design drawings for a white shirt and black pants from his pocket.
After Zhang Shiyu made further adjustments, the results were quite good.
Xie Yan looked at it, and suddenly had an inspiration. She couldn't help but pull out a piece of chiffon fabric with a white-blue gradient from her closet and said excitedly, "Make another set in this color, what do you think?"
Zhang Shiyu looked at the fabric and almost laughed. She asked curiously, "What's gotten into you?"
Yu Yuehui, who was sitting next to Xie Yan, also looked puzzled and didn't quite understand Xie Yan's actions.
Xie Yan had several white shirts, and wasn't his family planning to save money to buy a house near the school next year?
This was a plan proposed by Xie Yan himself.
This left Xie Yan somewhat at a loss for words; he couldn't very well openly admit that he was jealous.
He looked at Zhang Shiyu and laughed it off, saying, "You also contributed to the design of this outfit. Of course, you can also make it for yourself and certain other people."
Everyone knows perfectly well who these "certain people" are.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Shiyu's face flushed slightly. She coughed a few times and pretended to be calm, saying, "Um, what nonsense are you talking about?"
After saying that, she picked up the blueprints and fabric, turned around, and left in a hurry.
Xie Yan: "?"
Hey girl, you haven't said how much it costs yet.
Seeing Xie Yan's expression, Yu Yue couldn't help but laugh and slap him, reminding him, "Saving money, saving money! Have you already forgotten!"
Xie Yan quickly shook his head, "I haven't forgotten. Don't worry, I can make up the money for these clothes by digging for medicinal herbs a few more times."
Yu Yuehui was both amused and exasperated, unsure of how to express her gratitude for the banquet.
However, seeing how happy he was, she couldn't bear to scold him.
Oh well, as long as he's happy. I can just go hunting a few more times myself.
As for asking Xie Yan to dig for medicinal herbs, she was still reluctant and didn't want him to work so hard.
Time flows like a gentle stream, and before we know it, spring has quietly arrived. The weather is gradually getting warmer, and it seems like just yesterday that we were ready to stroll leisurely in a shirt.
Xie Yan loved the two shirts she designed to the extreme, and would wear them with great pleasure whenever she had free time.
Not only that, he also enthusiastically urged Yu Yuehui to wear the same style.
But as the weather warms up, the amount of farm work in the fields increases dramatically.
Yu Yuehui couldn't bear to wear her brand-new clothes to work in the fields. She felt heartbroken just thinking about getting the new fabric covered in mud.
Yu Yuehui couldn't bear to see Xie Yan's disappointed expression after his high expectations.
She would try to make time to wear the new shirt whenever she didn't have to work in the fields, just to make Xie Yan happy.
Every time Yu Yue changed her clothes, Xie Yan would immediately change as well, just like a child who had received a response. It was as if this had become a unique ritual of tacit understanding between them.
Chaochao, this adorable little one, saw her parents put on new clothes. Although she was still young and didn't quite understand why they were changing, children naturally imitate, so she happily started changing clothes too. Whenever the family had time, they would start a dress-up game.
Even so, Xie Yan still felt a little dissatisfied.
The main reason is that Yu Yuehui usually only wears her new clothes at home. She usually goes out to work in the fields, and she changes her clothes when she does work.
This made Xie Yan, who had meticulously prepared matching outfits for the couple, feel like she was wearing fine clothes in the dark, unable to express her joy at showing off, and extremely uncomfortable.
He had always longed for an opportunity to openly wear matching outfits and show them off, hoping to dispel the ulterior motives of those outsiders.
The days passed by in anticipation of the thank-you banquet.
Hey, it really does prove the saying "what you keep in mind will eventually come to pass," and he actually got the opportunity he was waiting for.
In April, a grand opera performance will be held on Longteng Mountain next door.
The traditional opera performances here have been a tradition for many years, but for some reason, they stopped a couple of years ago.
It suddenly started again this year.
This opera performance was the grandest entertainment event in the surrounding area, a joyous feast that attracted everyone's attention.
When the news spread, the nearby villages celebrated as if it were a festival, and decided to give everyone two days off so that they could stop their busy farm work and happily go to see the play.
Speaking of Longteng Mountain, there used to be temples on the mountain. The operas of that time were originally sung to the gods with a devout heart, carrying people's wishes for a better life.
In recent years, those temples have closed one by one, but the stage that holds countless laughs and stories has been preserved.
The main reason is that it has a unique significance—edutainment.
In rural areas, very few people are literate, and many people learn their principles and rules of conduct from traditional opera.
Those lyrics were seeds of wisdom that took root and sprouted in people's hearts later on.
