"I'm back."
Lin Jingshu saw him come in and went forward to help get the food.
"The lunch box is hot, let me take it." Gu Chengze moved aside.
After putting down the lunch box, I ordered two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, braised pork, chicken stewed with potatoes, tomato and eggs, and a serving of garlic vegetables.
The staple food was rice and steamed buns. The sister-in-law who served the food knew that there were new people, so she pressed the lunch boxes tightly, fearing that there would not be enough food for everyone.
Lin Jingshu looked at the food on the table. It smelled good and the portions were generous.
At first glance, it's full of meat.
Gu Chengze and Lin Shan ate so fast that they almost left shadows behind.
"Eat slowly. Eating too fast is bad for your stomach."
Gu Chengze nodded and slowed down his hands.
Lin Shan swallowed the rice in his mouth and said, "We are used to it. It's not comfortable to slow down a bit."
A group of men gathered together to eat. If they were slow, they would have nothing to eat.
After dinner, Lin Shan took the things he brought from home and went back.
Gu Chengze cleaned the lunch box and came back to see Lin Jingshu writing and drawing on a piece of paper.
Seeing him come in, holding the paper in her hand, she said, "There are still some things missing at home. When are you free? Let's go buy some together."
The word "home" is very warm. Gu Chengze sat beside her and read the contents on the paper carefully.
"Let's go to a nearby village to have these furniture made. I know a master craftsman who has excellent craftsmanship. He made the wardrobe we have now."
Lin Jingshu nodded.
"We don't have any firewood, rice, oil, salt, or anything else at home. Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative in the afternoon when it's not too hot. We'll also buy you a hat."
Lin Jingshu nodded heavily, expressing her full agreement.
"I can still rest at home for a day. Let's get what's missing at home together."
"good."
With his words, Lin Jingshu felt relieved. The things she needed to buy added up to a lot of small items, and it would be difficult for her to get them back by herself.
Not to mention that I had just arrived on the island and was completely in the dark. I didn’t know anyone and didn’t know who to ask for help.
After discussing things, Lin Jingshu took some clean clothes and went to take a shower.
Gu Chengze brought the water to the bathroom. "The only towel at home is the one I brought back from the dormitory. I haven't used it yet. Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a new one. We'll make do with this for now."
"good."
When Lin Jingshu came out of the shower, she found that Gu Chengze was not on the first floor.
Where have the people gone?
Going up to the second floor, she saw him standing in the room. She turned around when she heard footsteps and frowned slightly when she saw her wet hair.
"Why didn't you dry your hair again?"
"I forgot." Lin Jingshu touched her nose guiltily.
Gu Chengze took her hand and sat down, gently helping her wipe her hair.
Feeling that his hair was almost dry, Lin Jingshu asked him to stop.
"I'll go to the balcony and let it dry for a while."
Gu Chengze thought so too, put the wet towel aside, turned around and handed a box to Lin Jingshu.
"Wife, this is the money I have saved over the years. I give it all to you."
When he said this, there was a faint smile in Gu Chengze's eyes. He used to hear his comrades complain that all the work every month was handed over to their wives, but he didn't think it was a big deal.
Isn't the purpose of making money to spend on the family? He didn't complain at all and was even a little happy.
Lin Jingshu opened it and saw, wow, so much money.
Not only was there money, but there were also a lot of bills. At the bottom was a passbook with more than 2,500 yuan in it.
"Did you really give me all this money?"
Lin Jingshu still had the betrothal money and the dowry given by her family, which totaled to three thousand.
In this era where the average annual expenditure per person is less than 100 yuan, this amount of money is undoubtedly a huge sum.
Lin Jingshu sorted the money, took out the scattered bills to keep for household expenses, and put the rest away separately.
"Here, this is yours."
Lin Jingshu handed a small stack of banknotes to Gu Chengze.
Gu Chengze was puzzled. "For me?"
"Yeah, how can you, a grown man, go out without any money?"
In my previous life, my mother was in charge of the family's finances. She would always give a portion to my father as pocket money so that he could look good when he went out for social events.
Lin Jingshu's hand was suspended in the air, feeling a little sore, and urged him to continue quickly.
Gu Chengze was stunned at first, then he laughed, and it was a joyful laugh.
Lin Jingshu thought, am I really that happy?
Gu Chengze held her chin on his shoulder and whispered in her ear, "Wife, I'm so happy."
He has pocket money, but his brother doesn't, so Gu Chengze can't wait to show off.
"Silly boy, if you behave well, your pocket money will be increased."
Lin? Rich woman? Jingshu is rich and powerful.
Gu Chengze usually doesn't like smoking or drinking. Because of his special status, he has very high requirements for sensitivity and brain reaction.
It's okay to do it once in a while, but if you indulge in it for a long time, it will harm your body and be detrimental to your work.
Lin Jingshu stood on the small platform on the second floor to dry her hair. Looking at the houses on both sides, she felt that the island construction was quite good. Not only did it have water, but it also had electricity to ensure daily life.
Their house is on the east side of the staff housing complex, and is the one closest to the coastline. Standing on the balcony, they can overlook the sea.
The only drawback is that the sun is a bit too strong.
After drying her hair, Lin Jingshu hurried back into the house.
When Lin Jingshu woke up from her lunch break, Gu Chengze was no longer around.
Lin Jingshu changed her clothes, went downstairs and looked at the clock. It was already four o'clock.
There was no sign of Gu Chengze in the yard, but the originally messy land had been straightened out, like tofu, with one piece next to another.
Lin Jingshu was puzzled. Where did the person go?
Just as he was thinking about it, the door was pushed open and Gu Chengze walked in.
I saw Lin Jingshu standing at the door of the living room, with her long hair draped over her shoulders, her lips red and her teeth white, as bright as stars, glowing white in the sunlight, she was incomparably beautiful.
Gu Chengze's Adam's apple moved slightly, he took a big step forward, held the person in his arms, and stole a scent from her red lips.
He didn't let go until Lin Jingshu could no longer stand.
Lin Jingshu's cheeks were flushed, and she leaned softly in his arms.
After a long time, the two separated.
"where have you been?"
Gu Chengze held up the hat in his hand and said, "I went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a hat. There are not many styles here, only this kind of straw hat. We will buy a new one next time we go to Guangzhou."
It takes about ten minutes to walk from my home to the supply and marketing cooperative. Although the time is short, if you stay in the sun for so long, your skin will easily get sunburned.
His wife had just arrived on the island and was not yet used to it. Gu Chengze was afraid that she would get sunburned, so he went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a straw hat first.
“This is great.”
Although the straw hat is not good-looking, it is comfortable and breathable, making it perfect for wearing on the island.
She wore the same kind of clothes at home. She was not as delicate as Gu Chengze imagined.
Lin Jingshu braided her hair into a pigtail and looked at herself in the mirror, feeling very satisfied.
After packing up their things and locking the door, the couple set off for the supply and marketing cooperative.
