In the middle of the night, Jiang Jinxiu found herself dreaming again.
In her dream, she and Gu Xichen went to play in the spiritual river in the space again.
They bobbed up and down in the river, thoroughly enjoying the experience.
Her body was enveloped by the soft spring water, and when she felt uncomfortable and suffocated, the spring water seemed to be aware of her, constantly and gently soothing her.
He would also gently pat her skin.
Let her continue her trip in the most comfortable way.
She moved with the flow of the water, sometimes going against it.
But there were always obstacles blocking her way.
When she dived to the bottom of the water, she discovered aquatic plants that she had never seen before.
Many small fish were swimming around the aquatic plants.
So cute.
She couldn't help but want to tease them. As soon as she stretched out her finger, the little fish seemed to sense it and began to circle around her, occasionally bumping into her exposed skin.
She thought it was so much fun that she wanted to invite Gu Xichen to join her.
But in her blurry vision, she seemed to see him transform into the little fish in front of her, constantly teasing her.
Jiang Jinxiu couldn't help but giggle. A moment later, he turned into an octopus and clung to her side, and she couldn't push him away no matter what she did.
Just as she was exerting all her strength, the octopus suddenly spat a large mouthful of ink at her.
It turned her skin black.
Jiang Jinxiu woke up instantly.
In the pitch-black room, she felt like she couldn't breathe, as if something was pressing down on her.
This man is really...
When she woke up again, it was already broad daylight outside.
She knew she had overslept again.
I wonder if her brother has come to see her. If he has, she will be too ashamed to face him.
The man, having eaten and drunk his fill, was now gazing at her tenderly by the bedside.
You could tell from his expression that he was very happy and content.
Jiang Jinxiu, somewhat embarrassed and angry, threw the pillow directly at the man's face.
The man let the pillow hit him without even using his hands to block it.
His expression remained unchanged; he was still just as happy.
Jiang Jinxiu immediately turned to the other side, ignoring him.
The man picked up the kettle on the table, poured a glass of water, and gently patted her back: "Wife, you've lost too much water. Drink some water to soothe your throat."
At this moment, Jiang Jinxiu just wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it.
What's wrong with this man? He's become like this...
The two of them played around for a while longer before Jiang Jinxiu slowly got out of bed.
When she caught a glimpse of the high school textbooks on the table, she couldn't help but say, "Xichen, let's read together sometime. But right now, I only have one set, and it's not complete. I'm missing one book. Next time, if I have the chance, I'll go to the city and see if there are any others."
Gu Xichen nodded without hesitation. This time, he was smarter. He stopped asking why and simply did what his wife asked him to do.
Reading is never a bad thing.
However, he didn't intend to let the other educated people in the family off the hook either; if they were going to study, they might as well study together.
For example, his younger sister, his brother-in-law, and Xiao Liang...
He kept calculating in his mind.
...
When Jiang Jinxiu opened the door, the Gu family was as quiet as she had expected; everyone had gone to work or school.
Meanwhile, Jiang Jinhua, whom she was thinking about, was currently arguing with a cow.
Jiang Jinhua didn't want to go to work in the morning, but when he thought about how his sister would find out if he didn't go, he would probably get beaten up again, so he reluctantly went to work with Gu Xiliang.
When assigning tasks, no one wanted to be in his group. Gu Xiliang wanted to be with him, but the village chief disagreed.
Finally, the village chief assigned him to herd cattle.
It just so happens that Old Li, who is usually in charge of herding cattle, took the day off today.
This coincided with Jiang Jinxiu's thoughts.
When Jiang Jinhua heard that it was about herding cattle, he happily agreed.
He went to the cowshed to find the cows as instructed by the village chief.
As soon as he opened the gate to the cowshed, the cows walked out on their own without him having to drive them.
Jiang Jinhua initially thought there would only be one cow, but when he arrived at the cowshed, he discovered there were more than a dozen. He was immediately overwhelmed.
There were not only big cows, but also five or six calves.
Could all the cattle in Gujia Village be here? Jiang Jinhua had serious doubts.
However, he is a very adaptable person and is good at comforting himself, thinking that they are all cows, and he can just let them out.
He readily followed behind the ox, leisurely and content.
He also picked up a small stick and used it to knock down the unidentified wild grass along the roadside.
I must say, it was actually quite satisfying.
He even started humming an unknown song.
Suddenly, a cow in front of him stopped. Confused, he walked behind the cow and was about to hit it with his small stick to make it catch up with the herd.
The word "go" had barely left his lips when, somehow, the stick in his hand collided with a pile of cow dung in mid-air.
He was spectacularly splashed with warm cow dung all over his face.
Even on the lips, it's unavoidable.
He immediately felt nauseous and wanted to vomit his lungs out.
That's absolutely disgusting.
Jiang Jinhua felt like dying at that moment.
As luck would have it, several people happened to be passing by on their way to work, and when they saw his face covered in cow dung, they burst into laughter.
A kind villager told him that there was a puddle about ten meters ahead where he could wash.
Upon hearing this, he didn't care about anything else. He wiped the cow dung off his face, barely opened his eyes, and ran forward to wash his face first.
