Chapter 69 I Want to Have a Mandarin Duck Play in the Water
That being said, Xie Jinxiang certainly wouldn't really do something like digging up someone's grave, but it's okay to sneakily take a sip of the water.
Digging up other people's graves, and being the one who is in the wrong, if others knew about this, they would be spitted at and hated to death.
Unless someone doesn't want to live in this village anymore, no one would do something like digging up graves.
Gu Qijiao saw that Xie Jinxiang had finally calmed down and knew that the matter of the eggs was over, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
He silently put the garlic cloves he had picked from the garlic string hanging on the tree into his pocket when he got up.
If it weren't for the help of garlic, she really wouldn't be able to squeeze out tears for a while.
Gu Qijiao knew that her parents were already so old, and it would take time to change their ideas.
Now I can only make up lies to scare them.
She is her parents' biggest weakness.
The old couple came to see Gu Qijiao after going downstairs in the afternoon.
Zheng Yunsheng has been away these past few days, collecting materials to build a bathroom for Gu Qijiao.
He immediately ran into the mountains.
A shelf has been built in the corner of the bathroom.
When Zheng Yunsheng entered the yard, he was shocked to see Gu Qijiao's eyes red from crying.
Seeing Zheng Yunsheng carrying the wood, Gu Dagan asked:
"I see you built a small room in your yard, and covered it with oil. What are you going to do with it?"
"Dad, I want to build a separate bathroom for Jiaojiao. It's almost done."
While Zheng Yunsheng was talking, he looked at Gu Qijiao with concern. Although he really wanted to know why Gu Qijiao's eyes were blurry with tears, he didn't ask too many questions because of the presence of his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Hearing that it was a bathroom, Gu Dagan said nothing more, but he was thinking in his heart, after all, he is a city person, he just likes to do all these fancy and useless things, to take a bath, just bring the basin into the room and sit inside to take a bath.
I have never heard of any family in the surrounding villages building a separate place for taking a bath.
But since my daughter wants to use it, I won’t give any comments!
If city people can have something, his daughter deserves it.
Gu Qijiao had already prepared the meal, and now that Zheng Yunsheng had returned, she asked him to pour water and wash the dishes while she went to the kitchen to serve the food.
Her parents didn't want to stay for dinner, but Gu Qijiao insisted, saying that if they didn't eat, she would eat in the evening. So the old couple stayed for dinner.
Looking at the meat and eggs on the table, the old couple of the Gu family were so worried. How could their huge family fortune withstand such a waste?
But when they thought about the fact that Gu Qijiao was taking medicine and needed to eat something good to nourish her body, the old couple swallowed their words.
They were determined not to touch the meat dishes on the table.
Gu Qijiao saw what her parents were thinking and could only keep putting food into their bowls.
After the meal, the old couple felt heartbroken. It was not a festival, but the food was better than any previous Chinese New Year.
After the old couple finished their meal and left, Zheng Yunsheng cleaned up the dishes and boiled the bath water in the pot. Then he went to the bedroom and asked Gu Qijiao, who was folding clothes, why she cried in the afternoon.
That matter was not a glorious one. No matter how good the relationship between Gu Qijiao and Zheng Yunsheng was, she couldn't tell the truth. She had to save some face for her parents, so she told Zheng Yunsheng:
"Oh, it's okay. My mother saw me drinking Chinese medicine and thought I had some serious illness, so she started crying. I couldn't help crying too."
Hearing Gu Qijiao's natural tone, Zheng Yunsheng didn't think much about it and turned back to the kitchen to continue boiling water.
Gu Qijiao folded all the clothes washed during the day neatly and put them in the closet. Then she took out an iron lunch box, filled a kettle with boiling water, wrapped herself in a half-wet towel, and began to iron the clothes.
Most of the clothes in the wardrobe have been patched. It is not easy to buy clothes at that time. Clothes are new for three years, old for three years, and patched for another three years.
There is a set of clothes that people wear when going to the market, and they usually take good care of them.
Although Gu Qijiao had a good life for a few years, she was afraid of poverty when she was young, and some of her habits are still retained today.
When she ironed the clothes and hung them in the closet, Zheng Yunsheng had boiled the water. After he poured the water for Gu Qijiao, he looked at her with some regret:
"Jiaojiao, it's a pity that the basin is too small. When the bathroom is ready, I will make you a big bathtub. Then we can take a bath together. How about a bath together?"
