Under her coercion and enticement, Gu Changzheng had no choice but to confess.
"It wasn't really that bad, it's just that the dishes were a bit too salty and the rice wasn't cooked properly..."
"Is it just a little salty?"
As Lu Huaijiao spoke, she reached out with her chopsticks to pick up a little egg. Gu Changzheng watched her intently, not wanting her to eat it.
"Jiaojiao, shall I cook you some noodles?"
"vomit……"
The overwhelming saltiness of the food made Lu Huaijiao's face turn pale. She forced herself to hold it in, determined not to vomit at home or on the table.
"Jiaojiao, throw up here."
Gu Changzheng reached out his hand and let her spit the broken egg in her mouth into his palm.
Lu Huaijiao felt terrible, but she still shook her head and didn't vomit into his palm. She was also a person who cared about her image; if she thought others were dirty, she couldn't do such a dirty thing herself.
Lu Huaijiao got up, and Gu Changzheng had no choice but to help her to the ditch under the eaves outside so that she could spit the egg in her mouth into the ditch.
This ditch is specifically for drainage; something as small as a bite of an egg can be flushed away with a ladle of water.
It has no impact.
After Lu Huaijiao spat out the egg from her mouth, the salty taste lingered. She even felt as if her throat was blocked, and she couldn't make a sound.
She was holding back her tears.
Gu Changzheng brought her clean water and asked her to rinse her mouth.
Lu Huaijiao drank several large glasses of water before finally rinsing off the unbearably salty taste in her mouth. She looked up at Gu Changzheng with wet eyes, her expression pitiful.
"Gu Changzheng, do you love me that much?"
Gu Changzheng: ? ? ?
"So much love that even when eating salt, I pretend to be eating candy..."
She sniffed and muttered something with a guilty look on her face.
"So naive, you wouldn't think poison is honey if I gave it to you, would you?"
Gu Changzheng burst out laughing.
"Yes, I think anything my wife makes is delicious."
Lu Huaijiao pouted, deciding not to argue with him.
However, this dinner, which she had prepared for a month, ultimately ended in failure. Gu Changzheng still wanted to eat it, but Lu Huaijiao knew that the taste was inedible, so she definitely wouldn't let Gu Changzheng eat it.
Gu Changzheng didn't dare argue with his wife. He could only watch as she dumped the food into the ditch, and then he went to cook noodles for their dinner that night.
While enjoying the delicious noodles, Lu Huaijiao slurped them up and reminded Gu Changzheng not to forget to give Xiao Hei more water.
When Gu Changzheng learned the inside story, he was so angry that he laughed.
Fortunately, Xiao Hei was a wolf cub, which had better resistance than ordinary puppies; otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to withstand his wife's repeated poison testing over the past month.
It seems that at home, and in his wife's heart, his status is still a little higher than Xiao Hei's.
At least his wife didn't use him as a guinea pig from the start; otherwise, he feared he wouldn't have survived the autumn harvest...
After eating noodles and taking a bath, it got dark, so the couple went to bed early to rest.
Lu Huaijiao, who is pregnant, is very sensitive to heat. Lately, Gu Changzheng has been fanning her gently every night. Tonight is no exception.
Lu Huaijiao was afraid of the heat and wanted to stay far away from Gu Changzheng, but he was unwilling. He reached out and pulled her into his arms, slowly blowing cool air on her.
Tomorrow I won't have to get up at three or four in the morning to rush to the fields to harvest; I can finally get a good night's sleep.
That night, Lu Huaijiao didn't urge Gu Changzheng to go to sleep, and the two chatted casually.
"Now that the autumn harvest is over, what's next?"
"After drying the grain, we handed it over to the government. Once that was done, the job was done, and the rest of the work wasn't as tiring as the autumn harvest."
After the autumn harvest and the delivery of the grain tax, the women in the village began composting fertilizer in the fields to prepare for next year's spring planting. Some of the men, on the other hand, were assigned to repair irrigation ditches and dig river channels.
Repair the blocked irrigation ditches in the fields, or dig new irrigation canals to irrigate the farmland.
In short, they will always have work to do until the heavy snow falls.
Lu Huaijiao pouted, wishing it would snow soon.
By the time it snows, their baby will probably be born soon, right?
Lu Huaijiao began to think about names for her child.
The couple discussed this further, but even as Lu Huaijiao's eyelids began to droop, they still hadn't come up with a suitable name.
When you're too tired to stay awake any longer, you just have to go to sleep.
As for the children's names, let's wait and see. We'll figure out their names before they're registered.
…………
After the autumn harvest, the village gave everyone a day off to rest at home.
The educated youth in the brigade would choose to go to a state-run restaurant in the city during their holidays to have a good meal and replenish their energy.
At the educated youth settlement, meals were cooked in large pots, with a small amount of food prepared for a large number of people.
The daily portions are so small that it's never enough to fill you up.
Those who had the means were better off, as they could exchange money with the villagers for food. But those educated youth who had no money, couldn't work, and couldn't earn work points to support themselves were in a much worse situation.
The female educated youth were alright; as long as they were willing, they could marry into the village and marry the men there. Although they wouldn't be rich and powerful, at least they could have enough to eat.
The situation was less optimistic for male educated youth, because no one would be willing to marry their daughter to a male educated youth who was unable to carry anything on his shoulders, lift anything with his hands, or even support himself.
