She was relieved after he said that.
She obediently fell asleep in bed.
After everyone fell asleep, Gu Changzheng closed the screen door connecting the small garden to the room a little to prevent the wind from being too strong and causing people to catch a cold.
Then I took all the bed sheets, duvet covers, pillowcases, and Lu Huaijiao's clothes, shoes, and other things that could be washed downstairs from the closet.
The duvet cover and the one used on the train were soaked together in a large wooden basin.
Then she soaked clothes of the same color in a basin, making three large basins in total.
After soaking it, I took a small Double Happiness enamel basin, filled it with water, wet a rag, and started cleaning.
Gu Changzheng, the notorious villain from the surrounding villages, transformed into an incredibly hardworking househusband at this time, working exceptionally efficiently.
Zheng Shujuan went up to the rooftop to hang clothes to dry. Seeing Gu Changzheng busy in the neighboring yard, she felt even more strongly that Lu Huaijiao had married the right person.
Gu Changzheng wiped the house down and mopped the floor before turning around to wash clothes in the yard.
The soft clothes and the large bed sheet were like toys in his hands; he cleaned them with just a few rubs.
He washed the three large basins of things clean in half an hour. After looking around and finding no place to dry them, he went to the storage room and found two ropes. He hung them in a corner of the yard and then hung all the clean clothes and bedding on them to dry.
A gust of wind blew by, and the sheets and clothes, still carrying a faint scent of soap, fluttered in the wind!
Gu Changzheng's thin lips curved into a slight smile.
He placed the basin on the shelf, went inside to get the money and tickets, grabbed a vegetable basket, and went out.
Zheng Shujuan was watching Gu Changzheng work next door when she noticed him leaving and heading towards their house. She quickly came downstairs.
As soon as I got downstairs, I heard Gu Changzheng's voice outside the door.
"Aunt Zheng, are you home?"
Zheng Shujuan exclaimed "Oh!", wiped her hands on her apron, and hurriedly went out.
Gu Changzheng came to ask where the department store or supply and marketing cooperative was, preferably a place where he could buy a wide variety of things, as he needed to buy some meat to nourish Jiaojiao.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Shujuan realized that Gu Changzheng was going to buy groceries and cook.
Since she was going there anyway, she simply asked Gu Changzheng to wait a moment. She went back to get the vegetable basket, closed the door, and walked with Gu Changzheng to the supply station on the next street.
On the way, they encountered many neighbors who, seeing Zheng Shujuan with a young man, assumed that her eldest or second son, who was serving in the military, had returned home.
While greeting him with a smile, I realized he didn't quite seem like the eldest or second son of the Fang family.
He also seems to have grown taller.
Does joining the army make you grow taller?
These neighbors were somewhat puzzled.
Zheng Shujuan introduced with a smile.
"How could this be my son? My son, Xiao Gu, is so diligent and considerate. I would die laughing if he were so thoughtful."
Then he explained to the neighbors in detail who Gu Changzheng was.
Zheng Shujuan had always liked Gu Changzheng, a polite and well-mannered young man.
Given his diligence and the fact that he was Lu Huaijiao's boyfriend, Zheng Shujuan practically viewed him through a ten-layered filter.
She showered Gu Changzheng with compliments, saying it was all free.
Then he said that this was Lu Huaijiao's boyfriend, who had come back with her to visit relatives.
When those curious people learned Gu Changzheng's identity, they were taken aback.
Lu Huaijiao's boyfriend?
So, does that mean he's a country bumpkin?
Some people didn't believe it and thought that someone like Lu Huaijiao could never marry a countryman, so they asked Gu Changzheng what he did for a living.
Gu Changzheng was neither timid nor self-conscious, and answered in a calm tone that he worked in the village.
Those people hissed.
"From the village?"
"So that means you have a rural household registration?"
"Hey, you know, Grandma Qiao was smart her whole life, so how come her granddaughter ended up marrying a man with a rural household registration?"
"That's right, it's really unexpected! Although Grandma Qiao is gone, her son-in-law is quite capable. With her father's connections, Lu Huaijiao shouldn't have had to marry a peasant!"
Although these people deliberately lowered their voices, Gu Changzheng actually heard every single word they said.
Zheng Shujuan heard it all too.
Upon hearing these words, Zheng Shujuan was so angry that her face turned almost green.
These people who talk without understanding the situation and look down on rural household registration, have they forgotten that they themselves are also rural residents?
He's just a day laborer in the city, barely making ends meet. What right does he have to look down on others?
If it weren't for their son and daughter, Zheng Shujuan would definitely have started a fight.
Just as Zheng Shujuan was about to speak, a strong voice rang out from the side.
"Oh, who do we think is looking down on us rural folks? It's Aunt Zhang who cleans the toilets, Aunt Liu who washes dishes in the canteen, and Aunt He who tends the fire at the slaughterhouse. What, do you think you're so special?"
The woman who was speaking was also Lu Huaijiao's neighbor on the other side of the street, and she was called Aunt Pang.
Auntie Pang is as fat as her name suggests.
Her robust physique, her muscular build, and her squinting eyes all pointed to one thing: her title was not arbitrary or made without reason.
She's just fat.
He is 1.6 meters tall and weighs 160 pounds.
This may be related to her work.
She was the head chef of a state-run restaurant, and her culinary skills were passed down from her ancestors. She learned cooking from her grandfather since she was a child, and as she mastered the old man's cooking skills, she gradually became rounder.
