Soon, the two of them, carrying a large bag of traditional Chinese medicine, boarded the bus home.
As soon as they got home, Gu Yanliu jumped out of the yard, looking at them with a mournful expression, looking as pitiful as a puppy abandoned by its owner.
"Brother, sister-in-law, you're finally back."
You have no idea how bored I was being home alone all by myself.
These days, she has been assisting Su Nianxue.
Suddenly losing her anchor, she felt somewhat lost and disoriented.
"Why are you being so dramatic?"
Before your sister-in-law came along, you were doing just fine on your own, weren't you?
It was just a trip to the county town, is it really that big of a deal?
He never seemed to get bored to death when he was away from home for ten days or half a month!
Gu Yanbai, somewhat displeased, took the item hanging on the handlebars and handed it to Gu Yanliu.
"Go, go cook!"
Gu Yanliu held the things in her arms tightly. "That's different. Before, when I was alone, I couldn't do anything about it."
But ever since my sister-in-law came into the family, we've always been together.
I'm used to it now.
Her sudden departure made the house feel very empty.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yanbai snorted coldly, "Then you should just get used to being alone!"
"I'm taking your sister-in-law away tomorrow. Let's see how you manage then!"
Gu Yanliu's eyes widened in surprise, "You just got back, are you leaving again?"
Besides, where are you taking my sister-in-law?
"Can I come along too?"
Su Nianxue chuckled. "Let's go cook, ignore him."
Is he just teasing you?
We've just gotten back, where can we go?
Besides, I still need to sell tofu! I'm not going anywhere!
She tossed the things Gu Yanliu was carrying to him, saying, "You, take them inside!"
Hey! Su Nianxue,
I've noticed that you don't even flinch when you order me around anymore!
"Why does it sound so natural?" Gu Yanbai looked at the thing in his arms and almost laughed in exasperation.
He suddenly realized that his status in the family was getting lower and lower!
Do they even remember who the head of the household is?
He clearly remembered that it was written on the household registration book that he was the head of the household!
When he had time, he would always put the household registration book in front of them, point to those few words, and make them read them over and over again.
Especially... Su Nianxue.
He will definitely take good care of her.
"So what?"
We need to cook, and since you're free anyway, why don't you help us run some errands?
After Su Nianxue finished speaking, she ignored him and went straight to the kitchen with Gu Yanliu.
Gu Yanbai found the thing in his arms very offensive and wished he could throw it off the wall.
But……
Forget it, a good man doesn't argue with a woman!
It's not that he's afraid of her!
I just didn't want to argue with a woman!
Soon, the aroma of food filled the kitchen.
In the late afternoon, Su Nianxue and Gu Yanliu were just about to grind tofu!
Then Gu Yanbai, dressed in a white coat, walked out of the room.
He shoved Gu Yanliu away from the millstone, "Get out of the way, what are you doing blocking the way?"
"So skinny, like a stick, can he even push a millstone?"
Gu Yanliu wasn't annoyed; she knew he wanted to help but was too embarrassed to refuse!
"Okay, bro, you're strong, how can I compare to you!"
Gu Yanbai glanced at her sideways, "That's right, you have to say it!"
Su Nianxue smiled, clearly intending to help out of kindness.
But he insists on speaking harshly and rudely, not letting anyone say a good word about him.
I really don't know what to say to him.
The work that used to be done by two people was now being done by three, which naturally made things much faster.
The next morning, Su Nianxue got out of bed quietly.
Just as dawn was breaking, the three of them went to town together.
Wang Erya is a little different today.
She was carrying a large load of things on one end, with bean sprouts on the other and some woven bamboo baskets on the other.
Su Nianxue glanced at her carrying pole and asked, "Did Gou Dan's dad make these baskets?"
"Yes, he's been spending all his time at home these days figuring out how to make baskets."
"So, I thought I'd take it to town and try my luck, see if I could sell it?"
The worry on Wang Erya's face vanished, and she looked radiant and several years younger.
"I think it's pretty good. His skills are good, it'll definitely sell."
"Er Ya, it's good that he's cheered up!"
She couldn't yet connect the dejected man with the hardworking man Wang Erya had described.
However, that didn't stop her from being happy for Wang Erya.
Wang Erya nodded, "Yes!"
You wouldn't believe how energetic he is now, working from morning till night.
He would take a basket apart and re-weave it, then dislike it and take it apart again.
Before the old wounds on my hands had healed, new ones appeared.
Sometimes when I look at it, I feel...
Wang Erya was still a little embarrassed when she said this.
In the past, when the man was always listless and half-dead, she did resent him.
I also feel that life is dull and tasteless.
Seeing him working so hard every day, she felt a pang of heartache for him.
Of course, I also had a vague feeling that things were starting to look forward to.
"Although it's a good thing that Gangzi is cheering up, you still have to keep an eye on him."
We can't let him overwork himself; what if he ruins his health?
"That's what I advised him, but he always said he wasn't tired."
Actually, I know he's worried because the family is so in debt!
