After finishing work and returning home, Jiang Jinhua habitually goes to visit Gu Jia for a stroll.
But as soon as he stepped into the Gu family's gate, he saw his sister and Gu Xichen cuddling together in the yard.
The two were talking about something, and now they were gazing at each other with deep affection.
The cat and dog stood guard beside the two people like protectors.
Jiang Jinhua coughed lightly, but no one paid him any attention. Instead, Chengzi rolled her eyes at him.
Xiao Hei lifted his eyelids slightly, saw it was him, and then lay back down.
This silent disregard pushed Jiang Jinhua to the brink of losing control once again.
Jiang Jinxiu was unconsciously playing with Gu Xichen's hand again. The man's palm was large and had some calluses. She kept rubbing it, as if she were playing with some fun toy.
Gu Xichen looked at her with a doting expression, letting her play with him.
Jiang Jinhua was furious and went over to separate their hands: "Sister, didn't you see I'm back?"
"Hmm, you're back now, but what brings you here again? Aren't you tired and don't you need a lunch break? Or did you skip work again today?"
As she spoke, she pulled Gu Xichen's hand back over and played with it, making no attempt to hide it from Jiang Jinhua.
She didn't care whether he would be jealous or not.
Jiang Jinhua was speechless looking at his sister's expression.
His sister must be completely bewitched by this man.
However, he was still somewhat unconvinced by what his sister said.
"Sis, who do you think you are? I worked really hard today, okay? I just came to check on you because I was worried about you."
Then, he told Jiang Jinxiu everything that had happened that day.
Jiang Jinxiu knew he had gone to herd cattle today, which she thought was fine, but her face darkened when she heard him mention He Mei.
She had almost forgotten about He Mei.
I never expected her to come out and cause trouble again.
That woman is really promiscuous now.
First she spied on her man, then she got involved with Liu Jianjun, and now that she's seen her brother, she's having wicked thoughts again.
It seems we still need to fix it, lest some people become arrogant and ignorant.
"From now on, wherever she appears, don't be alone with her, understand? Boys need to learn to protect themselves when they're out and about. Have you forgotten how you almost got kidnapped on your way here?"
Jiang Jinhua felt like crying but had no tears left to shed.
The thing he was finally trying to forget was brought up again by his sister, which is a major stain on his life.
He leaned close to Jiang Jinxiu's ear and whispered a few words.
Jiang Jinxiu nodded after hearing this, but still instructed, "Be careful, don't let anyone else see."
Upon hearing Jiang Jinxiu's reply, Jiang Jinhua finally left in high spirits, not forgetting to take Xiao Hei with her as she went.
This time, Little Black was well-behaved.
She didn't struggle and let him hold her.
Actually, Jiang Jinxiu had previously instructed them to keep an eye on Jiang Jinhua, because with his troublesome nature, they were afraid he would cause trouble again.
As for what he wants to do, it's good that Xiao Hei is helping to supervise him. At least if anything happens, Xiao Hei will help him in time, or come back to tell him.
Jiang Jinhua thought that Gu Xichen couldn't hear his conversation with Jiang Jinxiu, but that was just his assumption.
Gu Xichen didn't intend to tell him that he had already heard everything.
"Honey, next time tell him it's best to do it at night; it's a bit too risky during the day."
Jiang Jinxiu glared at him: "Why didn't you tell him again?"
"Honey, don't you think I'm making a mistake by saying too much right now?"
This brother-in-law, although he acknowledges him, has always been a jealous person, especially when it comes to Jiang Jinxiu.
There are some things he doesn't want him to know, so he should just pretend he doesn't know.
When Gu Dashan returned at noon, he planned to ask Gu Xichen to go up the mountain together to cut some wood for building a house.
But as soon as Jiang Jinxiu heard about it, she simply told them what kind of house they wanted to build.
The house she wanted to build was a two-story brick and tile bungalow. In this era, materials were limited, so she couldn't build a villa, and she didn't want to build a tiled house that required wooden beams.
The houses they live in now have walls made of adobe and roofs made of wood, which easily accumulate dust and are prone to insect infestation, especially at night when rats like to chase and play on the roof tiles.
Fortunately, they had Orange with them, so they slept more soundly.
After hearing Jiang Jinxiu's account, Gu Xichen thought of the house in her space.
It is definitely much better than where they live now.
He also wanted his wife to have a good life and live in a nice house.
While in the military, he also learned about the construction and structure of houses.
We generally know what materials to use.
In the afternoon, after resting, they still followed Gu Dashan up the mountain.
They need to find wood to support the walls.
The two men went to find suitable timber, while Jiang Jinxiu followed behind with Chengzi and a basket on her back.
Let's see if we can catch some wild game while we're at it.
Gu Dashan led the two men over two mountains and into a bamboo forest, where they began to work.
Jiang Jinxiu couldn't help, so she started wandering around aimlessly.
As soon as she arrived at the bamboo forest, she thought of bamboo shoots, but she didn't know if there were any bamboo shoots left to dig in this season.
As soon as I put the orange down, it disappeared in an instant.
Jiang Jinxiu was too lazy to pay attention to it.
The man was not far from her, and as long as he was there, she seemed to know nothing of fear.
She picked up a relatively thick stick and kept poking at the bamboo leaves on the ground, finally managing to find three bamboo shoots that had just sprouted.
Just as the three bamboo shoots were dug up, Orange returned carrying a rabbit in its mouth.
Jiang Jinxiu had just taken the rabbit from its mouth when it quickly ran away again.
A little while later, she came back with a huge thing in her mouth, which was even bigger than the rabbit she had brought back earlier.
But for some reason, as soon as it got close to Jiang Jinxiu, it sped up and ran towards Gu Xichen and the others.
Jiang Jinxiu hadn't even had a chance to see what it had brought back.
Jiang Jinxiu asked it in her mind, but it wouldn't answer.
He ran straight to Gu Dashan.
Gu Dashan took the food from Chengzi's mouth, overjoyed, and kept saying, "Good, good, good."
Jiang Jinxiu couldn't tell what it was from a distance, but Gu Xichen could see it clearly.
It's a bamboo rat.
It's fat and big.
Still alive.
This little thing is quite smart; if you gave it directly to his wife, it would probably get a good beating from her.
Gu Dashan kept praising Chengzi, and Chengzi seemed to be enjoying it, rubbing against him and meowing.
My dear protagonist, you're the best. You have the best taste, unlike that foolish master who's afraid of such delicious food.
They dared not approach.
They were all terrified when they saw it.
