Gu Ye is used to getting up at 5:30 in the morning, going out for a half-hour run and then coming back to make breakfast.
Early in the morning, when it was still dark, Gu Ye opened the door and subconsciously looked across. Jiang Yue's door was closed and it was dark through the crack. She must be asleep and not awake yet.
Gu Ye put on his shoes and walked out while fastening his belt. He was very careful when opening the door of the main room, but the door panel still creaked.
Gu Ye paused, then glanced sideways towards Jiang Yue's room. Seeing nothing unusual, he opened the door and tiptoed out.
Just as Gu Ye closed the gate, the light in Jiang Yue's room came on.
Jiang Yue sat on the bed with two big dark circles under her eyes, looking hopeless. The bed was too hard and the pillow was uncomfortable. Jiang Yue tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep well. She seemed to hear some noise just now and woke up suddenly.
Before dawn, Jiang Yue found a flashlight, unbolted the back door of the main room, and yawned as she walked. She was going to the toilet in the backyard.
The backyard is larger than the front yard and is paved with stone slabs. There are several fruit trees planted against the north wall. In May, the fruits can be seen hidden among the leaves.
Walk along the cobblestone road and you will find the toilet.
If Jiang Yue was still worried that the dry toilet was disgusting yesterday, then her doubts were dispelled after she saw the dry toilet in Gu Ye's house.
The toilet was built with stones and the space inside was not small. It had a cement floor, benches and straw paper, a bucket with a lid, mosquito coils and mugwort to repel insects, and was kept clean.
The squat toilet was not what Jiang Yue had imagined, with a large vat underneath and two wooden boards placed on top of the vat, so that when one lowered their head one could see the disgusting scene of the rice field. Instead, it was designed to be similar to the squat toilets of later generations.
The cesspool was hidden at the back. After using the toilet, she just scooped a bucket of water and flushed it down. It was clean and spotless. There was no horrible scene as Jiang Yue had imagined, with maggots crawling everywhere and flies flying all over the sky. She then lit some mugwort to fumigate the pit and there was no unpleasant smell at all.
The reason why Jiang Yue cares so much about the toilet is that since people eat grains and cereals, it is impossible not to excrete.
She could convince herself to slowly adapt to other inconveniences, but if she felt disgusted every time she went to the toilet, she really couldn't get through the day.
After going to the bathroom, Jiang Yue went back to her room to change her clothes and came out to wash up. She looked at Gu Ye's room and found that the door was closed.
Thinking of Gu Ye's cold face and aggressiveness last night, Jiang Yue sneered cruelly at the door, "Humph! She won't go in even if you beg her to!
It was past six o'clock when Gu Ye came back. From a distance, he saw smoke coming out of the chimney of his house. A look of surprise flashed across his dark eyes. Jiang Yue got up so early?
Jiang Yue planned to make noodles for breakfast. She scooped a few spoonfuls of flour, but then, remembering how much Gu Ye ate, she added three more spoonfuls. Then she dissolved some salt in the water and began to knead the dough.
Jiang Yue was already in a bad mood because she didn't sleep well, and now she had to get up early in the morning to make breakfast. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. So she cursed Gu Ye while kneading the dough.
"Gu Ye, you bastard, you're not going to let me go? It's the male lead who's amazing! Look at what you can do!"
"If there's nowhere else to go, who the hell would want to stay in this crappy place?!"
"I'm living a good life, why on earth did you send me to this crappy book world!"
“Ahhh! I’m so angry! I’m so angry!”
Jiang Yue started trying to make videos when she was in college. At first, she was a beauty blogger, and later she switched to making food videos. After she became famous and had a fan base, she seized the opportunity and started a business with her friends. While continuing to manage her own account, she started live streaming to sell goods and opened her own chain of restaurants.
Just when she was doing well and woke up smiling every day looking at her savings, "Kwak!" she transmigrated into a book.
"I miss my big flat so much! I haven't even picked up my new sports car yet, woo!"
I want to go home so much!
Jiang Yue was muttering to herself when she suddenly felt something creepy on her back. She turned around and saw a figure standing at the kitchen door.
Jiang Yue was startled to see a person standing there. When she saw that it was Gu Ye, she threw the dough back into the basin and said unhappily, "Gu Ye, why are you walking without making any sound? You don't even say a word. It's so scary!"
Jiang Yue's heart trembled as she finished scolding him. When did Gu Ye come? Did he hear her scolding him?
Jiang Yue took out the kneaded dough with a guilty conscience, sprinkled dry flour on the chopping board, rolled it into a pancake, folded it, cut it into strips, picked it up and shook it, and it became noodles.
"Gu Ye, we're out of eggs at home. Can you go and borrow some?" Gu Ye came in and didn't say anything, which made Jiang Yue feel even more guilty.
She strongly suspected that Gu Ye had heard her scolding him, and since he was silent at the moment, he must be planning how to scold her back, so she decided to assign a job to Gu Ye and get him out of the way first.
"good!"
Jiang Yue was quite surprised to hear this. Is Gu Ye so obedient? She was just thinking that if he didn't want to go out to borrow eggs, she would move Ningning out and tell him that Ningning needed nutrition!
Watching Gu Ye's tall figure walk out of the door, Jiang Yue scratched her head and stopped thinking about it. After putting the noodles on the chopping board to wake up for a while, she turned around and went out to wash up.
After a while, Gu Ye came back.
"Here!" He handed two eggs to Jiang Yue.
"Why are there only two?" Jiang Yue frowned, "This is not enough!"
Gu Ye glanced at Jiang Yue and said, "You and Ningning, eat! It's the end of the month, and everyone doesn't have much food in stock at home."
Jiang Yue wanted to sigh again. It was 1977 or 1980, a time when materials were extremely scarce. Everything had to be purchased with tickets, and every household lived a tight life.
"Tell me who borrowed it from, and I'll return it after buying eggs today." Jiang Yue walked towards the kitchen with the eggs. In this day and age, if she could still borrow food, her relationship with Gu Ye must be special.
"Sister Zhao's house is the third house from the left in the second row of houses in front." Gu Ye looked at Jiang Yue again, with an unclear look in his dark eyes.
This was not the first time he heard Jiang Yue say those strange things. When they were in the hospital, she mentioned some god who traveled through books. And just now she said that she was thrown into this world in the book. What did that mean?
Gu Ye did not ignore Jiang Yue's words that she didn't want to stay here, just because she had nowhere to go.
Oh! He knew that her saying that she didn't want a divorce was just a temporary solution. Once she found another man, she would definitely run away like last time.
Thinking of this, Gu Ye's eyes suddenly turned cold.
Jiang Yue suddenly felt a chill on her body. She touched her arm and got goose bumps all over her body. What was going on? It wasn't cold at all!
"Dad!" Ningning's voice came.
Jiang Yue and Gu Ye turned around at the same time and saw the little girl standing at the door of the main room in a vest, rubbing her eyes.
"Ningning, get up. Go brush your teeth and wash your face. We're having noodles this morning!" Jiang Yue gently waved the egg in her hand at Ningning, "Fry another poached egg for Ningning!"
In any case, Jiang Yue has now replaced the original body. The original body had been bad to Ning Ning and even abused Ning Ning. Jiang Yue wanted to make it up to her while she was still here.
