The village chief handed the key to Gu Xichen and told him to complete the formalities as soon as possible.
Yang Dongmei and Gu Xilan returned just in time to witness this scene.
She took the keys from Gu Xichen's hand: "We'll take care of cleaning the house. You and Jinxiu can go to town to complete the formalities."
Yang Dongmei is also a decisive person. She doesn't like to procrastinate and can only feel at ease after things are done well.
"No one's using my bicycle today, you can go get it, it'll be faster to get to town," the plump auntie chimed in.
Currently, only the village chief owns a bicycle in Gujia Village. Usually, everyone goes to town by oxcart or on foot.
Gu Xilan volunteered to help them get their bicycles.
Jiang Jinxiu then pulled Gu Xichen into the house to pack her things.
While Gu Xichen was searching through the household registration book, Jiang Jinxiu took out some snacks from her spatial storage and placed them on the table.
She then packed the items into bags and handed them to him, saying, "These were sent by my mother. You can take them to your mother and Aunt Pang later. They helped us clean the house, so we should show them some appreciation."
Gu Xichen opened the bag and saw that it contained cookies, candy, canned goods, apples, and other items.
You can tell at a glance that these snacks aren't cheap.
"If we give it all to them, what will you eat from now on?"
Jiang Jinxiu pointed to her wooden box and said, "There are still some here, and the package my mother sent me this month should have arrived as well. I'll pick them up together when we get to town."
Gu Xichen took out the canned food: "These are your favorites, keep them for you, just take these to them."
Jiang Jinxiu took a few more apples from the wooden box and stuffed them in: "My eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law will probably go to help too. I'm afraid there won't be enough to go around, so I'm taking more. Pearl and Fangfang like to eat them too."
I've prepared food for the journey. Okay, you can take it to them now.
Jiang Jinxiu stuffed the things into the man's arms and pushed him away.
Gu Xichen remained motionless, gazing intently at the little woman before him who was devoted to him, a surge of warmth coursing through his body.
His strong, powerful arms pulled the petite woman into his embrace.
He gently kissed her forehead.
Jiang Jinxiu nudged him again: "Alright, hurry up and go..."
The man, however, felt it wasn't enough.
He then leaned down and kissed the woman's chattering lips.
So sweet.
He couldn't bear to let go.
The kiss deepened gradually.
He tried to capture the scent that belonged only to her.
Jiang Jinxiu also gradually succumbed to depravity.
Everything around them seemed irrelevant. At this moment, they only had each other left.
"Third brother and sister-in-law, are you done yet? I've brought your bicycles."
Gu Xilan parked her bicycle at the door and rushed in.
Seeing the two people passionately kissing without closing the door, she was so embarrassed that she didn't know where to look.
"I didn't see anything, you can continue, just remember to close the door next time..."
Gu Xilan quickly left those words and disappeared.
...
Yang Dongmei was so shocked when she saw what Gu Xichen gave her that she almost dropped it on the ground.
"These things are very valuable, where did you get them?"
Gu Xichen's gaze softened as he thought of Jiang Jinxiu's sincere and beautiful face.
"My wife's."
"You can't just take out so much of her stuff and squander it."
Yang Dongmei subconsciously thought that Gu Xichen was someone who didn't know his place and took things without asking.
He slapped Gu Xichen across the face.
Yang Dongmei only reached Gu Xichen's shoulder, so the slap landed on his arm.
For Gu Xichen, it was no different from scratching an itch.
But he knew his mother had misunderstood him, and he was speechless. Did his mother really not believe him?
"Mother, Jinxiu prepared these and asked me to bring them to you. Please distribute them. I'm entrusting the household to you now."
"Really?" Yang Dongmei asked, somewhat incredulous.
"Mmm," Gu Xichen responded and started eating the apple in his hand.
Crispy! Sweet!
tasty.
Gu Xichen ate as he walked away.
Yang Dongmei looked at the things in her hands, then at the brick house, and she knew how to divide them.
And so, Yang Dongmei, Gu Xilan, Gu Xiliang, and Aunt Pang were responsible for tidying up the new house, while Gu Xichen and Jiang Jinxiu went to town to complete the formalities.
Jiang Jinxiu sat on the back of Gu Xichen's bicycle, overjoyed.
This is a true example of two people traveling alone.
Hmm. A date.
Seeing that no one was around, Jiang Jinxiu wrapped her arms around the man's strong waist and gently rested her head against his back.
"It's so good to have you here."
Gu Xichen sensed Jiang Jinxiu's joyful mood and smiled.
With increased pedaling force, the bike suddenly sped off.
Jiang Jinxiu gasped in fright and clung tightly to his waist.
When we arrived in town, the floodwaters had receded, and some people were cleaning up the mud on the streets.
Jiang Jinxiu insisted that Gu Xichen handle the formalities himself, while she went to pick up the express delivery package.
Actually, she went to a deserted place, took some rice, flour, and apples from her spatial storage, and packed them into two portions.
She sent one copy to her parents and one copy to Aunt Luo.
What Jiang Jinxiu didn't know was that the two packages were damaged on the way and were stolen by someone with malicious intent.
She assumed the package had been successfully delivered and didn't ask. The person who received the package also didn't expect her to send anything and didn't ask either.
Much later, she learned that neither her parents nor Aunt Luo had received the package she had sent.
Jiang Jinxiu went to the post office and mailed everything before inquiring about the package her parents had sent her. The package had indeed arrived.
