Chapter 39 Alone Together



As soon as Gu Anyang finished speaking, Chen Qiangwei and Wang Xiaomai looked at him in surprise.

Especially Wang Xiaomai, she was so angry that she was about to explode. She looked at Gu Anyang with disgust and asked, "Can you make a fire?"

This skinny guy is really haunting me. Not only does he occupy Sister Weiwei's seat at work, he also stays next to her at Third Grandma's house.

You have to know that few country men know how to do housework, let alone light a fire or cook. They won’t even pick up a fallen broom. No matter how hardworking a country man appears to be outside, he stays away from the kitchen at home.

Gu Anyang didn't care about Wang Xiaomai's rudeness. He smiled heartily and said, "Not bad, Wang Zhiqing. Third Grandma just asked you to water the vegetables."

Gu Anyang already knew from his third grandmother that Wang Xiaomai was in charge of the family's vegetable garden. Gu Anyang was just worried about having no excuse to be alone with Chen Qiangwei, and now the opportunity came to him.

Chen Qiangwei curled her lips and smiled: "Okay, Comrade Gu Anyang will light the fire, and you go water the fields, wheat. Once the fields are well watered, it's almost time for dinner."

Wang Xiaomai pouted and said, "Okay, I'll go right away."

Wang Xiaomai went to water the fields angrily, and rolled her eyes when she passed by Gu Anyang.

Gu Anyang didn’t care whether Wang Xiaomai was happy or not, he was very happy anyway.

Under Chen Qiangwei's gaze, Gu Anyang lit the firewood in an orderly manner, and his slightly trembling hands betrayed his current mood.

Seeing the fire lit successfully, Gu Anyang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, finally not embarrassing himself.

Chen Qiangwei praised: "Not bad, I didn't expect Comrade Gu Anyang could also light a fire."

Chen Qiangwei was in a good mood. She discovered another advantage of the young man: he was good at doing housework, which made him better than most men in the countryside.

On the surface, Gu Anyang was seriously making a fire, but in fact, he had secretly glanced at Chen Qiangwei many times. Chen Qiangwei seemed particularly gentle and virtuous when she was cooking, which was completely different from her usual gorgeous, independent and domineering appearance, but she also attracted him deeply.

Gu Anyang stuffed a handful of pine branches into the stove and said, "Don't be afraid of Liang Mantang. He won't dare to do anything to you."

Chen Qiangwei raised her eyebrows and said gratefully, "Thank you. I'm not a vegetarian either."

She picked up the spatula and shook it. After this period of exercise, she was stronger than before.

Moreover, she used to train with her father every day. Although she was not as strong as an ox, she could beat two weaklings like Liang Mantang alone without losing.

Chen Qiangwei is not the kind of person who would swallow her anger and not be polite to anyone who provokes her.

Gu Anyang looked at her rare childish behavior and smiled, revealing two rows of white teeth. "It smells so good. You are really good at cooking."

The aroma of sausages in the rice pot and the aroma of rabbit legs stewed with potatoes in the frying pan rushed out. He hadn't eaten such delicious food for a long time.

Although his father is the team leader, he is not the kind of person who plunders the villagers to enrich himself. On the contrary, his father is a very fair and upright person. He will not rely on his position as team leader to assign easy work to his mother, second brother, third brother and two sisters-in-law. This is why he is so popular.

Seeing Wang Xiaomai looking towards the kitchen, Gu Sannai couldn't help but sniff. It must be said that Qiangwei was really good at cooking. Those gossips in the village were right.

Ever since these two girls came to live with her, her food has been improved to a higher quality, and they have also helped her with a lot of work.

“Dinner is ready!”

As soon as Chen Qiangwei spoke in a low voice, Wang Xiaomai took the lead and ran into the kitchen to serve dishes and rice.

A dish of rabbit leg stewed with potatoes, a steamed sausage, a tomato egg drop soup and a stir-fried vegetable dish, all of which were delicious.

Wang Xiaomai looked at the food on the table, her eyes widening. "I couldn't even dream of this kind of life."

Four people and four dishes. What kind of family is this? They can’t even be so extravagant during the Chinese New Year.

Gu Sannai picked up the bamboo cup and said, "Come on, let's drink water instead of wine tonight."

Chen Qiangwei and others also raised their bamboo cups and clinked their cups with Gu Sannai's. After Gu Sannai started eating, they all buried their heads in their work and didn't even have time to talk.

Gu Sannai greeted Gu Anyang: "Xiaowu, eat more, don't be polite. Although Qiangwei's cooking is very oily, it is really delicious."

Gu Anyang picked up a piece of soft rabbit leg for Gu Sannai, "Okay, Sannai, you can have some too." Then he looked at Chen Qiangwei and Wang Xiaomai, "Comrade Chen Qiang's cooking is indeed very delicious."

Gu Sannai frowned, "We are all family, just be at home and don't keep talking about homosexuality. It gives me a headache."

After spending some time together, Grandma Gu San has already started to treat Chen Qiangwei and Wang Xiaomai as her granddaughters.

"Qiangwei is older than you, so you should call her sister. Maizi is younger than you, so you should call her sister."

“Ahem…”

Gu Anyang was really choked by Third Grandma's words. He looked at Chen Qiangwei with a red face while coughing.

Chen Qiangwei blinked and smiled mischievously, "Yes, brother, don't be polite, eat more."

“Cough cough… cough cough cough…”

The coughing was deafening, Gu Anyang's face turned red and his neck became thick. He was both shy and happy, and he was so nervous that he didn't know where to put his hands.

After this little episode, Gu Anyang didn't dare to look up at Chen Qiangwei at the dinner table and kept concentrating on eating.

After dinner.

Gu Anyang said goodbye to Gu Sannai, "Third Grandma, I'm going back. I won't be back on weekends for this period of time. I have to go learn to drive with my second uncle."

My second uncle has mentioned it to him several times, but he has always declined on the grounds of his heavy studies.

Although Gu Anyang was speaking to Gu Sannai, his eyes were looking towards Chen Qiangwei.

Upon hearing this, Gu Sannai grinned, revealing her bare gums and a few scattered teeth. "That's great! Study hard, and once you've learned enough, find a good job in the city so you can get married in the future."

Gu Anyang blushed again after hearing what Gu Sannai said. He said firmly, "I will study hard and not let my wife live a hard life with me."

After saying that, he looked at Chen Qiangwei again and decided to confess his love to her after he had finished his studies and was able to give her a better life.

Chen Qiangwei smiled at him. Gu Anyang was quite sensible. She was waiting for his performance.

Chen Qiangwei's smile made Gu Anyang's blood boil and he was full of energy.

After reluctantly leaving Gu Sannai's house, Gu Anyang went to find Liang Mantang and gave him a lecture.

"From now on, you will still be leading the educated youth in their work, but put away your little tricks. If you tarnish the reputation of our brigade, you know what I will do to you."

Liang Mantang was in great pain, with a stiff smile on his face: "I know, I must work hard, never think about what I shouldn't think about, and never look at what I shouldn't look at."

Afterwards, Gu Anyang asked Liu Da to keep an eye on the educated youth, especially matters related to Chen Qiangwei, and to tell him immediately if Chen Qiangwei encountered any difficulties.

Liu Da nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, cousin, I will definitely take care of it for you."

After that, the days passed as usual. If there was anything that made Chen Qiangwei unhappy, it must be space.
