As soon as the car drove away, a group of military wives surrounded it.
"Jingshu, is this what Captain Gu bought for you?"
Lin Jingshu scratched her face and said, "It should be."
"This sewing machine is a Butterfly brand."
Everyone was talking at once, and couldn't help but touch it with their hands.
"Jingshu, didn't you say you were going out? It's getting late, let's go quickly."
Everyone still didn't move when they heard Su Hongping say this.
After seeing what the sewing machine was used for, everyone wanted to see other things. Lin Jingshu had been on the island for so long, and except for talking to Su Hongping, she was not familiar with any of them. They wanted to take this opportunity to talk more.
Su Hongping naturally knew what they were thinking and deliberately pushed everyone out.
Now is not the time to save face. If I hesitate for a moment, I'm afraid I will have to stay for lunch today.
Under everyone's pushing and shoving, I didn't know when I stepped out of the Gu family's threshold.
They were both dumbfounded. Why were they kicked out for no reason?
Forget it, it’s getting late, so I just packed up my pants and went home.
After everyone left, Lin Jingshu quietly opened the door. It was quiet outside and there was no one in sight.
"Sister-in-law Su, thanks for your help."
Su Hongping waved her hand. "When I first came to the island, they blocked me at home because I couldn't save face. I had to boil three pots of hot water at home before I could send them away."
The conditions at that time were not as good as they are now, and we could only drink a cup of hot water to quench our thirst.
Lin Jingshu wiped the sweat from her forehead. She really didn't have the energy to deal with her sisters-in-law.
It's okay once or twice, but I can't stand it for a long time.
"I'm leaving, you pack up."
Before leaving, Su Hongping winked and said, "I didn't realize that Captain Gu is such a loving wife."
Lin Jingshu's face turned slightly red.
When Gu Chengze came back, Lin Jingshu had already cleaned the study. Looking at the neat and clean desk, she smiled slightly and nodded affirmatively.
In the future, she will show her talents here and realize her dreams.
"Wife, I'm back."
Gu Chengze's voice came from downstairs. Lin Jingshu leaned on the balcony and looked down, waving at him happily, "Gu Chengze, come up and see my study quickly."
There is a one-meter-wide single bed on the north side of the desk, next to the window on the south side, and a bookshelf on the west side. Most of it is empty, with some of Lin Jingshu's drawing papers scattered on it.
“Although it’s still rather rudimentary, I’m very happy about it. Once my drawings are published, I’m sure I’ll be able to fill this place up.”
Her voice was light and her eyes narrowed in satisfaction.
Gu Chengze put his arm around her shoulders and said, "I believe you will succeed."
As he spoke, he pulled out a box from his pocket and handed it over, "Open it and take a look."
"What's so mysterious?"
Lin Jingshu opened the box and found a watch inside.
"A watch? Why did you suddenly think of buying this?"
Gu Chengze took out the watch, held her hand and helped her put it on.
"I promised you a watch a long time ago, but I kept putting it off."
When he was at home, he was thinking of going to Guangzhou to buy it, but he was delayed in Guangzhou because of Ruirui's matter. Gu Chengze felt very upset.
He clearly promised to do something, but he broke his promise again and again.
The watch was slightly loose on her wrist.
Gu Chengze took it downstairs to knock on it, and when he brought it back, the size was just right.
Lin Jingshu enjoyed her lunch today. With the electric fan on, she no longer had to worry about getting heatstroke.
"By the way, didn't you give me all your money? How come you still have money to buy things?"
Lin Jingshu said she was just asking out of curiosity and had no intention of questioning anyone.
"The rewards for the mission I took part in a while ago were distributed not long ago. I wanted to give you a surprise, so I didn't tell you about this."
In their case, there are separate rewards for each mission.
After buying the electric fan and the watch, I almost spent all the mission rewards, and in the end I had to use all my pocket money to make up for it.
On one side, the couple is having a great time, while on the other side, some people are gritting their teeth in anger.
"You damn girl, you want to scald me to death, right? Why don't you add some cold water?"
Zhang Sufen stared at Zhou Damao.
Zhou Damao was frightened by her vicious look and shrank back. He bit his lips tightly and his eyes suddenly turned red.
Zhou Jianguo was reading a newspaper when he was suddenly interrupted. He tightened his lips and looked slightly unhappy. "The child didn't do it on purpose. Can't you talk to her properly?"
When he spoke, Zhang Sufen snorted coldly and stopped arguing with Zhou Damao.
I get angry just looking at this girl. Neither she nor Zhou Jianguo are petty-minded. I don't know who she takes after.
His head is like a piece of wood, he usually speaks softly, and always sits in the corner like an invisible person.
In her opinion, she should come down to work in two years and get married when she is old enough.
Zhou Damao silently added some cold water into the basin until the temperature was just right, and Zhang Sufen's mood improved.
Seeing Zhou Jianguo beside him, his eyes turned and his mind became active. He said tentatively: "Jianguo, the weather has been getting hotter recently. I can't eat anymore."
Zhou Jianguo flipped a page of the newspaper, glanced at her, and said, "Just say whatever you want to say."
"Let's buy an electric fan. It can be used not only when we eat, but also when we sleep. It will definitely keep the room cool."
"How can that be? I don't have many industrial coupons, and the ones I do save have to be sent back home."
I sent it back home again. I get angry whenever I mention this photo of Sufen.
"Isn't this your home? Aren't the three of us your relatives? Why don't you care about us?"
Zhang Sufen glared at him, her eyes full of dissatisfaction.
Zhou Jianguo's expression changed, and his eyes suddenly turned cold. "Xiaotian will be working soon, and he will have to use industrial coupons to buy things. As the elders of the family, we naturally have to be more considerate of him."
"Why? He is not our son."
"Why do you say that? I just want someone to break pots for me when I'm old."
According to the custom in their hometown, when a person dies, his biological son needs to break the pot to send him off. Since they have no sons, their nephew can only do this job.
Zhang Sufen's eyelids drooped immediately, and her lips moved without saying anything.
She knew that it was because she gave birth to three girls that her in-laws and her husband disliked her, and also disliked her three daughters.
"If you don't want to buy it, then don't buy it."
Zhang Sufen left with the basin in her arms, looking gloomy.
In the room, Zhou Sanmao lay through the crack of the door, heard his parents arguing, and caught an unfamiliar word.
"Second sister, what is a pot-smashing pot?"
Zhou Ermao's nimble fingers were weaving katydid cages. He took these little things to school and sold them for two cents each.
The katydid cages she made were both sturdy and beautiful, and were very popular among her classmates.
In response to his sister's question, he answered without even looking up: "Some stupid thing."
