Chapter 200 Cold Day

She even specifically asked someone about Gu Cheng's wife's situation and heard that she had no job and was a rural person.

Zhang Xiaowan once thought that Gu Cheng's girlfriend must be a crude rural woman who was ugly and uneducated.

Compared to her, there is a world of difference.

So, when she saw Liu Yinyin for the first time, she didn't think much about it.

Hearing her say in person that she was Gu Cheng's lover, Zhang Xiaowan was extremely shocked.

What she was thinking was, this girl is so beautiful, how could she be Gu Cheng’s rural wife?

Liu Yinyin thought the way this girl looked at her was quite interesting. She glanced at Gu Cheng again, but didn't say anything. She just smiled at Zhang Xiaowan and said, "If everything is fine, we'll go home."

Zhang Xiaowan looked at Liu Yinyin's bright smile and felt uncomfortable. She muttered to herself, "Apart from being prettier, how can this girl compare to her?"

I don’t know what kind of luck I had to marry a man as capable as Gu Cheng.

Thinking of this, she felt unhappy and felt that Liu Yinyin was not worthy of Gu Cheng at all.

Zhang Xiaowan came back to her senses, looked at the couple who were about to leave, and suddenly a brilliant smile appeared on her face. She said, "Director Gu, see you at work tomorrow!"

Zhang Xiaowan deliberately emphasized the word "go to work", as if reminding someone of something, her voice was loud and crisp.

Liu Yinyin: “…”

Of course she could see through Zhang Xiaowan's little thoughts, but she couldn't say she was angry. As a person who had lived for two lifetimes, she wouldn't bother with such things with a little girl.

However, after everyone left, Liu Yinyin still asked Gu Cheng: "Do you know that girl? Is she from the same office as you?"

The little girl kept calling "Director Gu", and her thoughts were obvious.

Gu Cheng is not stupid, it is impossible for him not to see it.

Gu Cheng said hurriedly: "No, he is just an official of the factory committee."

He was also quite puzzled in his heart. He and Zhang Xiaowan had only met a few times in total, and he didn't know why the girl was so enthusiastic every time.

Liu Yinyin smiled softly and said, "She is quite pretty."

Gu Cheng's heart tightened, and he quickly explained: "Don't get me wrong, she's just an ignorant little girl."

It was not easy for him to criticize Zhang Xiaowan openly about this matter. Besides, the two of them had nothing in common.

Afraid that Liu Yinyin would think too much, Gu Cheng changed the subject and asked, "Why did you come to the county town? Is there something going on?"

In fact, Liu Yinyin didn't take Zhang Xiaowan's matter to heart. She glanced at the backpack tied to the back seat of the bicycle.

He turned around and told Gu Cheng: "I went to the mountains today and found a struggling wild goat in a trap, so I brought some goat meat to exchange for food."

Seeing this, Gu Cheng naturally exchanged bicycles with Liu Yinyin and said, "Leave this matter to me."

This locust plague has also had a significant impact on wild animals in the mountains. Some animals, without food, will definitely move to other places to look for food.

When he has free time later, he will go to the mountain a few more times to see if there is any other prey.

The two rode their bicycles home, and Liu Yinyin said nonchalantly, "I'm just sitting at home with nothing to do, I can handle these things myself."

She couldn't leave all the things to Gu Cheng either. Liu Yinyin didn't want to rely too much on others.

Gu Cheng was silent for a moment, thinking of something, and then he said, "Yin Yin, there is something I need to tell you."

Soon they will be separated for a period of time. Without him, Liu Yinyin will have to rely on herself for everything.

Liu Yinyin was stunned: "...you say."

Gu Cheng thought for a moment and said, "I'll tell you tonight."

It’s not convenient to talk about this now.

Seeing how serious he was talking, Liu Yinyin guessed that it must be something big.

After arriving home, I asked Gu Cheng to return the bicycle to the village chief's house and pick up Gu Yanyan at the same time.

Liu Yinyin had to cook dinner. She threw two pieces of firewood into the stove. The mutton in the pot needed to stew for a while.

I scooped out two bowls of cornmeal to make cakes, pinched the corn cakes, and steamed them directly on the edge of the pot.

After the mutton is cooked, just stir-fry the sweet potato leaves.

The family of three had a very satisfying dinner.

After dinner, Gu Cheng wanted to take Gu Yanyan to the river to take a bath.

After so much heavy rain, the river was full and we could finally take a bath in it.

In the past two days, many villagers went to the river to bathe.

There has been drought for several months, and due to water shortage, the villagers have only had the opportunity to bathe very rarely. Now, they can finally enjoy a bath in the river.

Liu Yinyin: "...Let Yanyan take a shower at home. The river water is a bit cool."

The weather is quite cold, so adults don't need to worry, but children might catch a cold if they take a bath in the river.

Gu Yanyan didn't care whether the river water was cold or not. When he saw Gu Cheng was about to go out, he immediately rushed over and hugged his thighs: "Dad, let's go..."

Gu Cheng picked up the kid with one hand and said to Liu Yinyin, "Don't worry, I won't let him go into the water. I'll just take him over to play for a while."

What else could Liu Yinyin say? She waved her hand and asked the father and son to come back early.

Unfortunately, it was not until dark that the father and son slowly returned home.

Both of them were covered in mud.

Liu Yinyin: "...Are you going to take a bath or play in the mud?"

Gu Yanyan was having a lot of fun. He stretched out his black paws and gestured excitedly, "Mom, play... water!"

Gu Cheng underestimated the kid's fighting ability and said, "We didn't let him go into the water. A few kids were playing in the mud on the shore."

As a result, the little guy was too excited to play and almost fell into the ditch. If Gu Cheng hadn't been quick to catch him, the little guy would have come back crying today!

Gu Cheng didn't tell Liu Yinyin about this and went to take the kid to take a bath.

At night, there was a strong wind blowing outside.

Liu Yinyin took out a quilt from the cupboard and made the bed, muttering, "It looks like the temperature will drop a few degrees tomorrow, and I don't know when it will stop."

It's only the beginning of August now. If the weather stays this cold, we won't be able to grow vegetables in the fields.

Unexpectedly, the weather would be so abnormal that Liu Yinyin did not prepare any vegetables for the winter in advance.

If the temperature doesn’t warm up, our family will face the dilemma of having no vegetables to eat in the next few months.

Of course...it's not just Liu Yinyin's family that's like this, the situation is equally bad in other families.

Gu Cheng sighed inconspicuously and said, "I'll go get some radishes and cabbages in a few days."

In the past two years, major and minor disasters have occurred one after another, and the people in the countryside have suffered greatly.

Liu Yinyin nodded. The family had to buy some vegetables as soon as possible and store them. In the next few months, if they couldn’t grow vegetables in the fields, the price of vegetables would probably go up again.

"Oh, by the way..." Liu Yinyin was still thinking about something, so she asked, "What did you want to tell me during the day?"
