Chapter 98: With a husband like this, what else could a husband ask for?



The next day, Chen Jianguo was awakened by footsteps in the living room.

He got up quietly, gave Xu Zhaodi a light kiss on the cheek, put on a vest, and went out to the living room holding the bed sheets that he had changed last night.

Chen Baoguo has finished washing up.

Chen Jianguo said: "I'll make breakfast, you can come after you finish eating."

"Brother, the old man will bring me some bread. You and sister-in-law can enjoy it slowly. I'm leaving first."

Chen Jianguo asked: "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Chen Jianguo went to the bathroom first and soaked the bed sheets in water. Chen Baoguo looked confused.

When did my brother start washing sheets and quilt covers?

Chen Baoguo felt embarrassed. Even if he was not married, he was still an adult man.

There was a noise in the couple's room last night. Even if he had never eaten pork, had he never seen a pig run?

"Brother, do you still want to wash the sheets and quilt covers?"

"Your sister-in-law has a stomachache."

After Chen Baoguo knew that the two were married and before they left home, Xu Zhaodi was glaring and cursing, and his eldest brother also had a sullen face, and the two of them looked like they were incompatible.

Now that they can live in peace, Xu Zhaodi seems to have become a different person. After returning home, she told her parents about their current situation, and they felt relieved.

"Got it, brother. It's getting late. I'll leave first."

Chen Baoguo left before Chen Jianguo even washed his face.

Never mind. Let him be.

Chen Jianguo was in a good mood. After washing his face, he went into the kitchen. He thought that someone had a stomachache last night, so he made boiled eggs with brown sugar water. He even added two more ounces of brown sugar.

Xu Zhaodi had a dreamless night. If it weren't for work, she would have wanted to sleep until noon today.

When she came out of the room, her face was yellow and she looked exhausted.

Chen Jianguo said distressedly: "Why don't we just not hang around today?"

"No, it's more than one dollar a day, and I feel bad for asking for leave."

What can you do with more than one dollar? That can buy ten kilograms of rice.

It's just your period. Just bear with it and it will pass.

Chen Jianguo said: "The bathroom has warm water for you to wash your face. You can't touch cold water like this."

Xu Zhaodi felt warm in her heart. Who would have thought that this man could be so considerate and considerate.

With a husband like this, what more could I ask for?

After brushing her teeth, Xu Zhaodi went to the balcony to get some clean clothes. She saw the bed sheets dripping with water and her eyes paused.

Isn't this the bed sheet we changed last night?

When did he clean it?

Xu Zhaodi poked half of her head out from the balcony, and Chen Jianguo had already placed the breakfast on the table.

She smiled with relief, and there was no longer any barrier between her and him in her heart.

The two sat at the dining table, and Chen Jianguo reminded them: "Try not to touch cold water in the restaurant, otherwise you will have a stomachache next time."

"I see. You are really annoying."

After eating a bowl of fried eggs with brown sugar water, my whole body feels warm.

The couple went out together. There were people in the compound who got up early. When they saw the couple going out together, they looked puzzled.

Chen Jianguo was puzzled. Xu Zhaodi had brought strange men home these days, so why wasn't he angry at all?

As the two drove away, Chen Jianguo said, "Be careful on the road. I'll pick you up this afternoon."

Xu Zhaodi smiled and waved, not bothering to pay attention to what the women in the compound said, and turned around and left in style.

Xu Zhaodi had a stomachache and walked slowly. When she and the others arrived at the restaurant, they were a few hours late.

He Damei had already cooked the porridge. When Xu Zhaodi came, she asked, "Zhaodi, when will your brother-in-law leave?"

Xu Zhaodi asked, "The day after tomorrow, right?"

The day after tomorrow?

Isn’t this too fast?

He Damei was lost in thought for a moment. Chen Baoguo was really a man. He had earned a lot of money by helping their family with work these past two days.

He Damei felt more and more that Chen Baoguo was a person worthy of entrusting her life to.

She murmured: "No wonder..."

No wonder he only helps his family for three or four days.

Xu Zhaodi saw that He Damei was more concerned about her brother-in-law's affairs these days, so she asked, "What's the matter?"

“No, no…”

Xu Zhaodi didn't take it to heart either, until noon, when Wang Daqing mentioned the matter of earning wages by cutting wheat, and He Damei accidentally let the secret slip.

Wang Daqing said: "This year, God has given us a bad harvest. It didn't rain during the wheat harvest period. The crops will probably not grow well this year."

He Damei said: "Even if it doesn't rain, we have to finish the harvest early. My grandfather said that Zhaodi's brother-in-law is very capable and works quickly and neatly."

He Damei smiled and said, "He came to harvest wheat for my family, and said he didn't have money for the trip home, so he thought..."

Halfway through her words, He Damei realized that she had let the cat out of the bag and quickly covered her mouth.

After hearing this, Xu Zhaodi, who was resting on the table, straightened up and looked at He Damei.

"Damei, what did you say?"

Xu Zhaodi didn't expect that Chen Baoguo came all the way here and didn't even have the money for his trip.

"Sister Zhaodi, I was just talking nonsense."

Xu Zhaodi thought about it and realized that it was no wonder that He Damei had been asking her about her brother-in-law in the past two days. It turned out that he was harvesting wheat for He Damei's family.

Xu Zhaodi called He Damei to the kitchen and asked, "Damei, do you mean that Chen Baoguo will cut wheat for your family in the next two days?"

He Damei saw that she could no longer hide the truth, so she smiled awkwardly and said, "Zhao Di, I'm sorry, I accidentally let it slip."

"It's okay. Can you tell me what happened?"

He Damei told Xu Zhaodi everything that had happened in the past two days. It turned out that he had earned the travel expenses himself.

To be honest, it's quite a feat for this guy to find a way to earn money for his family's transportation during such a strictly managed time period.

Seeing Xu Zhaodi lost in thought, He Damei reached out and tugged at the corner of her clothes.

"Sister Zhaodi, can your brother-in-law and that girl get along? If not, why don't you find a matchmaker for us?

I think he’s a nice guy.”

Xu Zhaodi knew that this was unrealistic. No matter how poor He Damei's family was, it was at least a county town.

But Chen Jianguo's home is really a remote and poor place.

Xu Zhaodi said, "Damei, I don't know whether he and that girl can succeed. You are such a nice person, just find someone you like first."

He Damei looked disappointed, and in her mind she could see Chen Baoguo eating noodles in big mouthfuls.

She really misses him.

It's a pity it's too late.

After Xu Zhaodi knew about this, she quickly made a decision in her mind.

It’s not easy for my younger brother, but he is also a person who knows how to be grateful.

When he leaves, you should give him the three hundred yuan first.

After that, he decided to see if he could negotiate with the other party to buy a watch, and then they got married first.

As for the future, we’ll talk about it later.

She and Chen Jianguo were in the army and would never go hungry.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhaodi felt better.

In this world, being poor is the original sin.

So, you must work hard to make money.

Xu Zhaodi thought about this the whole afternoon.

On Chen Baoguo's side, the sun had not yet set after the wheat was harvested, and the last piece of wheat on Gong's side had been harvested.

When He Yonggang knew that Chen Baoguo was leaving, he felt more reluctant.

He Yonggang said, "Boy, do you have a partner?"
