Even though he agreed too quickly, Yu Mingxiang felt even more embarrassed.
That evening, the unorthodox "honey water" in Gu Guanhai's bowl turned into proper brown sugar water.
Gu Guanhai: "!!!"
It's also quite frustrating.
He just gave Yu Mingxiang a resentful look and didn't say anything.
Yu Mingxiang: ...
The look in his eyes made me feel guilty.
She silently served him more spring water.
Gu Guanhai looked at the "honey water" in front of him and smiled.
He discovered that the woman seemed to have a soft heart.
The next day, Gu Guanhai helped Yu Mingxiang pick up the package at the town's post office.
The package happened to contain the milk powder that Du Changzheng and his wife had bought.
Yu Mingxiang took out some of these obviously useful items from her spatial storage and mailed them.
Thinking of the Cui family who had just given birth to a daughter, Yu Mingxiang took out two cans of milk powder and stuffed them into Gu Guanhai's hands: "Take some time to secretly send them to them."
Gu Guanhai knew perfectly well who "they" referred to.
He smiled and nodded, "Okay!"
This woman is not only soft-hearted, but also kind-hearted.
In the following days, Gu Guanhai accompanied Yu Mingxiang up the mountain to collect herbs in the mornings, and almost every afternoon he would go to the town.
He went to town empty-handed every day and came back with a large package, which naturally attracted the attention of many villagers.
"Guan Hai went to pick up a package again?"
When some villagers saw him carrying packages back, they couldn't help but ask curiously, "You never used to come back every day to pick up packages. What's going on this time? Why are you constantly getting packages?"
Gu Guanhai: ...
I've been asked this several times, and my answer is always the same: "It's something my friends sent me."
He was stern and rarely smiled in public, and the villagers, faced with his cold demeanor, dared not ask him any further questions.
Gu Guanhai took on the responsibility of handling the package.
The storage room in the small courtyard at the entrance of the village was soon piled up with packages.
Yu Mingxiang looked at the packages and breathed a long sigh of relief.
With these packages in hand, she'll have a legitimate reason to support herself for a while longer, providing for all her food and household needs.
Taking advantage of receiving the packages, she bought a lot more things for her home.
Curtains, changes of clothes and sheets, books the children hadn't finished reading, and other odds and ends were added, making the home more cozy and welcoming.
Even in the front yard where Gu Guanhai lived, Yu Mingxiang added a lot of things for him to express her gratitude.
Gu Guanhai: "!!!"
Looking at the things Yu Mingxiang was taking out piece by piece, he rubbed his forehead in exasperation.
Does this woman have absolutely no concept of the volume of an object?
With all the additions she made, the total volume of the things she bought for the house is almost equal to the total volume of all those packages!
Fortunately, they lived some distance from the village, so no one would come to their door unless they needed to. They usually kept to themselves and lived their quiet lives without anyone noticing.
However, while others couldn't notice, the three children gradually discovered something was amiss.
"Mom, where did all these foot bath basins come from?"
One day, Xue Ru looked at the several extra foot basins in the yard and asked in confusion, "Did we send these things before we went to the countryside?"
As soon as she said this...
Qin Weiguo and Qin Xiangdong, each carrying their own foot basins and preparing to wash their feet, looked at their mothers with a puzzled expression.
Yu Mingxiang: "!!!"
He felt a slight chill run down his spine under the watchful eyes of the three children.
She glanced around instinctively, making sure Gu Guanhai was inside and couldn't hear them, before she spoke...
