Chapter 164: My Own Beauty
The new home in Ding'an County is a two-story building, about 120 square meters, with two rooms upstairs and two rooms downstairs, and a bathroom on each floor.
Xiuzhu excitedly ran upstairs to see her bedroom. She felt like she finally lived in a mansion!
Gu Yu looked at her running away lovingly and reminded her, "Run slowly, be careful not to trip."
He went to pack his luggage. There were so many things that they were piled up in the living room, and he could hardly move.
A few years ago, Mao Shun and Wang Yong came to Ding'an County first, and at that time they asked their two families to help bring some of the luggage.
There are a lot of things, and the house is big now, so it should be enough for his young wife. He doesn't have to pile all Xiuzhu's clothes in a box like he did in Harbin, and then iron them when taking them out.
In fact, the area of this small building is about the same as Xiuzhu's home in Yucheng, but its main advantage is that it is new. It was just renovated by the previous county magistrate, and he himself did not live there for long, so he sold it to Gu Yu at a low price.
"You must be County Magistrate Gu, right? Please wait for me and your wife. I will go cook." The speaker was a gray-haired old lady who looked a little reserved. She had just come in from outside, holding a basket of vegetables in her hand.
She used to be an old lady from the countryside. This was the first time in her life that she came into contact with such a high-ranking official. It was also thanks to her son.
I thought it would be good enough for him to have a formal job after retiring from the army with a lame leg, but I didn't expect that he would have a better opportunity now.
At that time, her son came home and said that he had an opportunity to work as the director of a department in the Public Security Bureau in Ding'an County, but he had to move to the county seat, and asked her if it was okay.
This was a position of an official, how could it not be better than his current job as a handyman? She agreed to come without saying a word.
Gu Yu said gently, "No hurry, we have already eaten lunch, you can take a rest first."
When he first arrived in Ding'an County, he did not have a suitable person to take care of Xiuzhu's daily life.
After he starts working, he will be much busier than when he was in Harbin. If Xiuzhu is alone at home, she won't even be able to eat on time. Besides, he doesn't want his young wife to cook and do housework.
Even though the current environment is limited, he will do his best to give her the best life.
His wife should enjoy happiness by marrying him.
Since there was no suitable candidate at the moment, I thought of finding someone from Mao Shun and Wang Meng's family to take care of Xiuzhu, because they know them well.
After comprehensive consideration, Wang Meng's mother is more suitable. Wang Meng has a small family, just him and his mother. After work, Wang Meng will live in the unit dormitory first, so that Wang Meng's mother can take care of his daughter Xiuzhu more wholeheartedly.
As for Mao Shun, his family has many people, and he is afraid that someone will come to his house to look for him, which will definitely affect Xiuzhu's rest.
Let’s see first. If he can’t get along with Xiuzhu, he will find a reason to fire her.
"Huh? Who is this?" The room upstairs was still empty. Xiuzhu took a look and came downstairs. Seeing a strange face in the house, she asked her husband.
"Xiuzhu, let me introduce you. This is Wang Meng, the man you met in Harbin. This is his mother. From now on, Aunt Wang will stay at home with you."
"Auntie Wang, this is my wife. You will be spending most of your time together at home. She is young and a little delicate, so I hope you can get along well with her." Gu Yu introduced both parties to each other and hinted to Auntie Wang that she should get along well with his young wife.
Aunt Wang was a widow who raised Wang Meng alone. She understood everything County Magistrate Gu said and knew that she would only be kept if his wife was satisfied with him.
Then she has to perform well, just cooking and cleaning every day, and get a salary of 30 yuan a month. It's not too cold or hot. Where else can she find such a good job?
Aunt Wang complimented her, "Madam, you are so pretty. Tell me what you are not eating. I will cook a few dishes later. If there is anything that needs to be improved, just tell me."
"You don't have to be polite. Just call me Xiuzhu. The terms master and lady are no longer popular nowadays. We are all comrades. County Magistrate Gu is just an ordinary citizen serving the people." Xiuzhu had a decent smile on her face and behaved very elegantly.
Now she is no longer the same person she used to be. She is the wife of the county magistrate. She has to pay attention to her own image and the image of her husband, the county magistrate, in front of outsiders.
She thought that the etiquette and rules her mother taught her since she was a child would soon come in handy.
"Okay, Xiuzhu, I'll go cook first." Aunt Wang agreed with a smile. Seeing the fairy-like wife of the county magistrate with such noble temperament, she did not dare to neglect her and hurriedly turned around to clean up the kitchen.
Gu Yu took her little hand and said with a smile, "Madam, why are you so talkative now? Are you paying attention to your image?"
"Hmph, you too. Don't be so careless. We all have to be careful when we are outside." Xiuzhu pouted and warned him.
She felt very nervous when she thought about how the previous county magistrate stepped down and his entire family was exiled to the northwest. Although being an official is good, it is also risky.
If there really comes a day when Gu Yu gets into trouble, she doesn't want to follow this pervert to the Northwest.
Who can stand being tortured like that every day? She doesn't want to go to the northwest to carry bricks during the day and accompany him to do that at night.
She got divorced and lived alone.
Gu Yu saw her sudden resentful look towards him, he didn't know what he did wrong, he could change it.
After thinking about it for a long time, I could only think of last night, because it was my last night in that house in Harbin, and I dragged her along for a while...
It seems that this is undoubtedly the case, but this matter cannot be changed!
Forget it, just pretend you don’t know.
"Wife, the county magistrate's salary is higher than before, I will give it all to you and not keep a single cent for myself, okay?"
"Hmph. All right."
…
This inexplicable little disagreement ended here.
