"I underestimated him."
Yu Jiu laughed heartily, never expecting that Gouzi and Yu Caihong were on the same side. If the two of them got together, they would have so much to talk about!
"He also loves to relay messages, so it's not that I like to order him around, it's that he's happy to be ordered around. People who don't know the situation might think that I, as the team leader, am exploiting him."
Xu Zijiang helplessly shrugged; he really didn't enjoy exploiting people!
"Hilarious! Who would have thought of that!"
Yu Jiu laughed heartily, her dimples almost showing, even though she clearly didn't have dimples!
“He runs around everywhere every day, spreading rumors. I don’t know which girl will dare to marry him in the future. His mother is so worried. He’s not a child anymore, but he acts like a three-year-old.”
Maybe people with partners tend to worry about these things. Xu Zi had never thought about finding a wife for Gouzi before, but today an idea suddenly popped into his head: why not try finding him a wife too? He didn't understand before, but now he does—having a wife is truly amazing!
"Childhood innocence is quite nice."
Yu Jiu shrugged, offering no objection. Actually, it's fine for boys to be a little lively; as long as they're gossipy but not nagging, they're not annoying.
"I hope our son won't be so childlike in the future."
Xu Zijiang said quietly, "If I had a son like that, I couldn't stand it."
"Go away! I haven't even given birth yet, and you're already complaining. Besides, we don't even know if it'll be a boy or a girl! Since you're so disgusted by it, then I'm not having the baby!"
Yu Jiu turned away haughtily, humming and pouting.
"How could I dislike you? I love anything you gave birth to!"
Xu Zijiang assured him, then pulled the person back onto his lap and coaxed him.
Yu Jiu puffed out her cheeks, still somewhat uneasy, and there were some things she needed to say beforehand.
"I still really like children, and I look forward to having my own daughter or son. I love both boys and girls, and I won't favor the older or younger ones. I hope that regardless of gender or age, I can treat them equally. Can you do that, Xu Zijiang?"
My parents just couldn't do that. One favored my sister, and the other favored my brother, leaving me, the second child, without a father's love or a mother's affection. It made me very sad. I didn't like it this way, and I don't want my future children to suffer like that. Don't favor any child, because favoring one means neglecting the others.
Yu Jiu looked into Xu Zijiang's deep eyes and said earnestly, but as she spoke, she lowered her eyes in distress.
She's clearly a child of her parents too, so why is she treated this way by only them? Why do they dislike her? If they don't like her, why did they give birth to her in the first place? They even sent her to the bed of an old man like the factory director. Don't they feel any pity for her at all?
Yu Jiu knew the answer. Yes, she didn't feel sorry for her at all, but she couldn't understand why she was treated like this. She had been beautiful, smart, and sensible since she was a child, and her grades were also good.
"I promise you, I won't, okay? Honey. Whether it's a daughter or a son, whether it's the older or the younger, I won't favor either of them. If I have to say who I favor, it's only you! The person I love most is definitely you, and that can't be changed!"
Xu Zijiang stared at Yu Jiu, seemingly very serious, even his high eyebrows furrowed in a solemn manner. However, he became inappropriate in the end, pinching Yu Jiu's fair and soft waist, and his hand gradually moved towards her beautiful butterfly back.
····
"Xu Zijiang, you really are... all you think about is..."
Yu Jiu was speechless. She pulled his hand out of her clothes. This bastard, this dog of a man, he couldn't be serious for more than two seconds! If he hadn't taken a liking to her when she was dressed up ugly, she would have seriously suspected that Xu Zijiang was only after her face and simply lusted after her body! He really couldn't be without her for a moment! Did he have skin hunger? His hand had to be inside her clothes?
"My mind is filled with nothing but you, my beautiful little wife!"
Xu Zi raised his eyebrows with considerable pride, grabbed Yu Jiu's head, and kissed him again with a slightly fierce intensity, his breath gradually becoming hot again.
Xu Zijiang felt that there was absolutely nothing wrong with his thoughts and actions. Anyone who had been single for over twenty years and finally found a wife they liked would love to be with her, and wouldn't want to get physical with her! He had already done a good job by restraining himself from going all the way and not being affectionate with his wife in front of others! What's wrong with being a little intimate when they're alone?
Even when the young educated youth was complaining about him, her hands never left his abs!
He was lusting after her body, but the young educated youth might also be lusting after him! The shameless man thought righteously.
However, Yu Jiu didn't indulge him. She bit his tongue, making him retreat from her territory. The two regained their composure and started cooking and eating. They were together almost every day.
Zhang Yan thought that by exchanging herself for a spot at the Beitang educated youth settlement, she would be able to have more interaction with Yu Jiu. Who knew that Yu Jiu would come to see Xu Zijiang early in the morning, not go home for lunch, and only go back to shower and sleep at night, not even having to go to work. Therefore, Yu Caihong was the only one who spent all her time with Zhang Yan.
Yu Caihong: I originally thought that my friendship had a formidable rival, but I didn't expect that she was not here to ruin our friendship, but to join us!
After a day of observation, Yu Caihong accepted Zhang Yan as a feisty girl and then enthusiastically explained to her many loving stories about Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang, including but not limited to their heartfelt confession and kiss in front of everyone during the flood, and Xu Zijiang standing up for Yu Jiu and scolding Li Nannan, etc.
The description was so vivid that Zhang Yan was stunned. Because they lived at a distance that Yu Jiu was busy finding a partner and dealing with Li Nannan, the two of them had only met a few times and chatted a few times. As a result, Zhang Yan was unaware of many details of Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang's relationship.
"Now it's crystal clear!" Zhang Yan exclaimed, her mouth agape.
"We were all sent-down youth, so how come Yu Jiu's life is so colorful!"
How envious! And she even found such a wonderful partner as Xu Zijiang. Is this even a man?! Zhang Yan had never seen such a considerate man as Xu Zijiang before. She had previously thought that Xu Zijiang would be the kind of man who beat his wife!
"Sigh, everyone has different fates. We're all just watching the drama unfold, life is just as exciting. Let me tell you about Li Nannan, her..."
Yu Caihong finally found another gossip subject. Ever since Yu Jiu became inseparable from Xu Zijiang, she had much less time to listen to Yu Caihong's gossip. Yu Caihong was just worried about that, but now a gossip buddy has come along. How could she not be happy!
So when Yu Jiu returned to the educated youth settlement before sunset, before it got dark, he saw two strange, glowing eyes.
"What are you going to do? Are you going to mutate?"
Yu Jiu rubbed her arms and said fearfully, "I feel like they're going to pounce on me and eat me up!"
"Hey, Little Jiu~~~ Tell me about you and the captain, how far have things progressed? What have you been up to? How much are you planning to give as betrothal gifts? You took him home to meet your parents, are they satisfied? Has the captain tried to win over your parents? They..."
Yu Caihong chuckled, rubbing her hands together, looking both lewd and gossipy.
What a beautiful young woman! Why does she always turn herself into a weird old man? Yu Jiu sighed helplessly, rubbing his forehead.
"Zhang Yan, don't let Sister Rainbow lead you astray!"
"It's too late, tell me the truth! I need to know 108 details about your relationship!"
