Chapter 75: Master's Wife is Here
Gu Xixi shook her head, thinking that this drunkard was incomprehensible.
Shitou's face lit up as he ate, "Sister Xixi, this quail is delicious, the meatballs are delicious too, and the rice smells so good!"
Gu Xixi nodded, "Yeah, delicious, all delicious."
After a while.
Shitou tilted his head in confusion, "Sister Xixi, why is your face so red?"
Gu Xixi waved her hand: "Nonsense! I'm not drunk!"
…
The sound of rain was dripping. When Gu Xixi opened her eyes, her temples twitched in pain. She frowned and gasped.
“It hurts, it hurts!”
Why does my head hurt so much?
When the calico cat heard its new owner wake up, it jumped lightly onto the bed and rubbed her hand.
Gu Xixi touched it a few times and suddenly realized, "Xiaohua?"
She clearly remembered that she was still having dinner at the restaurant, so why was she lying on her bed now? !
The door opened and Aunt Zhang came in with a bowl in her hand. "You still have a headache?"
"When you came back yesterday, you didn't know anything I asked you. You just kept singing."
Gu Xixi broke out in a cold sweat, "What song... did I sing?"
Aunt Zhang stirred the hangover soup in the bowl and tried to recall for a moment, "Hmm, what is Tianya, what is My Love? I have never heard of this song, but it sounds pretty good."
Gu Xixi: “…”
This is all because of her reflex memory that she had practiced in KTV! !
Aunt Zhang continued to nag, "You are an unmarried girl after all. Even if Xiao Chen is here, you can't drink like this outside."
"Luckily, Xiao Chen was smart and didn't let anyone see him when he returned to the village."
Gu Xixi looked down at the pattern on the quilt and felt hopeless.
So she was really drunk?!
She frowned and thought for a moment, then figured out the crux of the problem.
She used to have a good alcohol tolerance, but now Gu Xixi has a poor alcohol tolerance.
Gu Xixi took a deep breath in pain, she was careless.
Aunt Zhang handed Xixi the warm hangover soup.
"This is made with old ginger. Drink it and lie down for a while, and your headache will go away."
Gu Xixi drank the whole bowl of sobering soup in one breath, put on her clothes and went out.
Aunt Zhang asked from behind, "You don't want to sleep anymore? What are you in such a hurry to do?"
"Looking for Chen Fang." Gu Xixi left these three words and pushed the door open to go out.
Aunt Zhang smiled with relief, "The relationship between the young couple is getting better and better. I guess there will be a happy event in our family next year!"
As I walked into the yard, I suddenly heard the cry of some animal.
Gu Xixi turned her head and was stunned again.
In the west room, Mu Nanzhao was writing something.
Seeing Gu Xixi coming in aggressively without knocking, he stopped writing and asked, "What's the matter?"
Gu Xixi sat down beside him and said, "Let me ask you, what happened yesterday?"
"What happened after dinner at the restaurant?"
"Where did that mule under the eaves come from?"
Mu Nanzhao said, "You are still quite good even when you are drunk."
When Gu Xixi heard this, she first breathed a sigh of relief.
Mu Nanzhao continued, "You knew you had to pay with money, but you insisted on going to the mule and horse market. You picked the mule yourself, and you bargained with that brat, forcing the boss to cry before selling the mule to you."
"Finally you said you were tired, and you lay down on the car bed and said you would not go to the nursery today."
"But you didn't forget what you promised Shitou. Tell him that you have a big plan that involves him. You will go to him in a few days and talk to him about hiring him to do the work."
By the time Mu Nanzhao finished speaking, Gu Xixi no longer had the strength to speak.
She finally understood why others said that the most frightening thing is not getting drunk, but having someone help you recall the events in detail after you sober up.
Mu Nanzhao was very interested. "What is your big plan?"
Gu Xixi stood up and waved her hands weakly, "I have a headache. I need to sleep a little longer."
"Also, before the village school is officially built, you should rest more at home and stop always rushing to do the work."
Mu Nanzhao just felt it was interesting at the moment. Seeing her like this, he felt it was not enough and asked with a smile:
"What about your mule?"
After a while, Gu Xixi's voice floated from outside, "Wait until I have enough sleep~ Wait until the rain stops~~ I will build a shed for it~~"
Gu Xixi slept until the afternoon.
The old doctor's hangover medicine was very effective. Her headache was gone and she felt full of strength.
Now it's time to build a shelter for the new mule, and, uh, come up with a name for it.
The rain stopped temporarily, but the sky was still very gloomy.
The mule under the eaves was gone, and there was a small wooden shed against the wall to the east of the gate.
The gate in front of the shed was locked and the mule was eating grass well inside.
Gu Xixi thought she was still drunk and rubbed her eyes.
Aunt Zhang suddenly came over and took Xixi away, saying, "You're finally awake. Let's hurry up and we can still make it!"
Gu Xixi was puzzled, "What do you mean by in time?"
Aunt Zhang said, "Of course we will officially open a village school and officially invite the first teacher of Huachidu Village."
As they were about to pass the gate, Gu Xixi pointed to the small wooden shed and said, "This is..."
Aunt Zhang said, "Xiao Chen worked all morning and just as he finished building it, Lao Qian came to hire someone else. I was the one who put the mule in there and added some grass to it."
He actually built it without making any noise. Gu Xixi thought to herself and asked again, "Where is the master?"
Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "He didn't want to show up in public, but Xiao Chen asked him to go, saying that the elders in the family should be there to be witnesses. Lao Qian and the others also agreed."
"I used to think that Xiao Chen was very arrogant and couldn't get along with anyone. Now it seems that I was wrong about him. He is just cold on the outside but warm on the inside."
…
Along the way, Aunt Zhang kept praising Mu Nanzhao.
Talking about the scene of inviting a master to the village today, "Old Qian really values our little Chen."
It turns out that today is a rare auspicious day recently, and it is also an auspicious time from noon to the middle of the night.
Although it was done in a hurry, Lao Qian still brought a few of the most prestigious elders in the village and went to the door in person at noon to deliver four-color gifts and a new set of clothes.
Lao Qian and others washed their hands with clean water, bowed three times, and then solemnly and respectfully invited Mu Nanzhao to the land temple.
Gu Xixi smiled and said, "What a pity, I didn't see his expression at that time."
Aunt Zhang also laughed, "It's still the same as usual. I can't tell whether he is happy or unhappy."
The two of them hurried to the land temple.
The worship activities have ended. This is to inform the local gods that Huachidu Village has its own teacher. Please ask the gods to bless the village school, the teacher and the children.
The school entrance and several windows were surrounded by villagers in three layers.
Aunt Qin saw Gu Xixi and Aunt Zhang and waved hurriedly, "Aunt Zhang, Xixi, come here quickly, I'm saving a seat for you!"
"Everyone, please make way. Mr. Chen's family is here."
Everyone smiled and moved their seats to allow Gu Xixi and Aunt Zhang to squeeze to the front.
Someone tried to make fun of it, "The children's head mistress is here, who dares to stop her?"
Amid the laughter of the crowd, Gu Xixi's ears felt hot, but her expression remained calm, "Not yet."
When she looked into the classroom, she was stunned. It turned out that this was what he looked like as a teacher...
