Well, as a father, how could he talk badly of his son on a normal day? At the end of the day, he was still thinking about his son. Gu Lingguo took the three hundred yuan given by Yan Rushan and left.
Three hundred yuan is a pretty big purchase, more than enough to buy these things.
As soon as Gu Lingguo left, the cleaning work was redistributed; there were two buckets in total, Fang Guozhong carried one, and the other was carried by Yan Rushan, who also held the rag in his hand. Zhong Yuxiu was left empty-handed.
"Then what should I do?" He looked at the white and tender little hands innocently.
Yan Rushan put down the bucket and rubbed her head. "You don't have to do anything. Go play over there. I'll go clean our room first. Then I'll clean grandpa and the children's rooms. Once we're done, Comrade Gu should be back."
"I can help you fetch water." Zhong Yuxiu raised her hand like a kindergarten kid.
"A wife is meant to be pampered, not to work for her." After saying that, he picked up the bucket and left again.
Zhong Yuxiu smacked her lips, a sweet feeling rising in her chest that was refreshing to the heart; following behind him, in front and behind, the couple seemed to be in harmony with each other.
After Fang Guozhong finished cleaning a room, Yan Rushan and his wife came out just in time; the two groups bumped into each other, and Fang Guozhong's eyes fell on Zhong Yuxiu who was behind Yan Rushan. Yan Rushan was holding a bucket in one hand and holding his wife's hand with the other.
Fang Guozhong: I’m full.
"Comrade Fang, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard, it's what I should do." Fang Guozhong spoke quickly, a little hurriedly.
Zhong Yuxiu smiled and nodded, "Comrade Fang is busy, Rushan and I will go and change the water."
"OK."
Watching the two of them go to the kitchen yard where the well was, Fang Guozhong hesitated, not knowing whether he should follow them as he also needed to change the water.
Yan Rushan and Zhong Yuxiu came back with clean water, but Fang Guozhong was still standing there.
Zhong Yuxiu glanced at him discreetly and asked, "Comrade Fang, do you want to change the water too?"
"Ah, yes." Fang Guozhong came back to his senses after a daze and said hurriedly, "Comrade Zhong, you and Comrade Yan are busy, I'll go change the water."
As soon as Fang Guozhong left, Zhong Yuxiu pulled Yan Rushan aside and asked, "Comrade Fang, what happened? He was in a trance just now. Did something happen to cause him to look so dazed? It doesn't seem like it. He was fine before."
"It's okay, what could happen? He is on a mission, and he must know what's going on at home. He may just be distracted for a moment, don't think too much about it, let's continue cleaning." Yan Rushan took his wife to the next room, which was prepared for the old man to live in.
After working for a long time, the three of them finally cleaned up the third and second courtyards. Not to mention Yan Rushan, even Fang Guozhong was exhausted. There were few people, but the work had to be done. Walking back and forth, bending over and squatting was also physical work.
It is normal to feel tired if you do these things too much.
Yan Rushan washed his hands, took his wife's hand and sat down on a clean chair. He knelt on one knee, put his hand on her leg and asked, "Take a break. You've been following me around for a long time. Are your legs and feet sore? Are they sore?"
"It's okay." Actually, it didn't hurt. My supernatural powers were working all the time, and my fatigue was greatly reduced.
"I'll give you a massage." Yan Rushan did it right away. He was already dirty, so he sat on the ground and put her feet on his legs. "It's my fault. Next time, let's find a place to sit down and rest. You've been walking back and forth with me for half a day, and you haven't taken a break."
The man was gentle and considerate. Zhong Yuxiu smiled slightly, "Aren't you tired too?"
"I'm a man, it doesn't matter if I'm tired." Yan Rushan's words were indeed a bit straight, but also heartwarming. "A girl's body is precious."
Zhong Yuxiu chuckled, "What are you being so proud of? Nowadays, there's no such thing as being proud or not. Men and women are the same; women can hold up half the sky. If someone with ulterior motives heard what you said, they would definitely call you a henpecked husband and a wife slave."
"It's just talk, it won't hurt anything." His wife's happiness is more important than anything else. In his heart, his wife is irreplaceable, just like his grandfather.
"Then you must remember this sentence." She smiled sweetly and playfully pulled his earlobe.
Yan Rushan said, "I remember. I remember everything you said about my wife. Do you remember the two years we spent hunting in the mountains?"
"Remember! You must have been surprised the first time you saw me hunting. At that time, I was in desperate need of money and food. I didn't think of avoiding you. I just thought it would be great to have someone who could help me sell the goods so I wouldn't have to worry about anything." The situation was tense at the time, and reselling would result in imprisonment. When she first came here, she just wanted to live a peaceful life for two years, return to the city, and start her career again.
"The first time I saw you hunting, I was really surprised. You're such a skinny little girl, how could you be so strong? Not only strong, but also brave, you even dared to force yourself on a wild boar." Thinking back now, Yan Rushan couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, "I remember that when you first arrived at the educated youth camp, you were very gloomy. It reminded me of when I first went to the countryside. Although I wasn't as gloomy as you were back then, I wasn't much better either."
"A gloomy and timid girl, she was sick for a few days when she first arrived. After she recovered, she seemed to have come to her senses and was able to do everything from working in the fields to hunting in the mountains."
This was said with some emotion. If Zhong Yuxiu had not grown up right under his nose, he would have suspected that she had been replaced.
Zhong Yuxiu's face froze, then she said nonchalantly, "Without money and food, I have no way to survive if I don't find a way to make a living. Actually, I have to thank you. Without you helping me ship goods and buy food, I would have to go to the black market myself. You saved me a lot of time."
"At that time, I felt that you were a young girl who had left your hometown at such a young age. I felt that it was worth it to help you if I could."
Staring at Yan Rushan's reddened ears, Zhong Yuxiu chuckled softly. This man was actually shy. However, Yan Rushan was a man who truly valued friendship and loyalty, but when he was ruthless, he was absolutely heartless. Just look at how he treated other female educated youth and you'd know that he would never speak unless he could.
However, Yan Rushan was a calm and steady man, and he had great prestige in the educated youth site; the female educated youth were not self-deprecating people, and they got along quite well.
"So, you treat every educated youth the same?"
"no."
He responded quickly, as if afraid she would misunderstand.
Zhong Yuxiu's smile did not diminish. "Isn't it there?"
"...I'm not this nice to other people." Yan Rushan embarrassedly revealed his shortcomings, but after saying it, he felt that it was not so difficult to say it out loud; while rubbing her legs, he said, "Other people can't arouse my pity, only you." He can do that.
My heart is filled with sweetness, and I can’t get enough of it no matter how much I savor it.
Yan Rushan added, "Wife, please believe me; I'm really not this nice to other people."
"So, you had your eyes on me at that time?" Zhong Yuxiu asked with her head tilted.
Yan Rushan suddenly looked up and met her bright and smiling eyes. Facing that smiling face, the words of denial that were on the tip of his tongue circled and he swallowed them back.
