Although he is a bit dull and a bit old, he knows to help her wash clothes. There is a difference between asking a man to do something and asking him to do it on his own initiative. Obviously, the latter is easier to please.
After washing up, Song Zhi was ready to go to the kitchen to cook. Unexpectedly, when he opened the lid of the pot, he found a bowl of porridge warming with hot water inside. On the table next to the chopping board was some seasoned shredded radish. Song Zhi thought that Gu Huaijin had gotten the food from the cafeteria again, so he didn't pay much attention. He put the food on the table and started eating.
The more she ate, the more she felt something was wrong. Why did the food in this cafeteria suddenly become so delicious? Had they changed chefs, or had the apprentices been making the food for the past two days?
Originally, Song Zhi was not very hungry, and thought that since he had brought the food back, he could just eat something. However, he ended up eating all the food without realizing it.
Although they are just porridge and side dishes, they have the taste of everyday dishes.
"Political Commissar Gu, I have bought the cement and tools." Zhao Shitou shouted loudly outside, and before he finished speaking, he pushed open the door and walked in.
"You... why are you washing clothes?" Zhao Shitou asked stutteringly when he saw the scene in the yard.
In his impression, men don't do housework. Aren't laundry and cooking tasks something women do? Why is it that Political Commissar Gu, who seems least likely to do housework, is actually doing the laundry?
Zhao Shitou also noticed that these were not Political Commissar Gu's clothes, but were obviously worn by a woman. It was obvious who wore them. Political Commissar Gu must have washed his wife's clothes!
Zhao Shitou felt that he had discovered something incredible. It turned out that Political Commissar Gu was like this at home. He was actually a henpecked man. In the past two days, he had witnessed how powerful Political Commissar Gu was, how he fought against three people alone on the training ground, and how he deployed his troops.
But because of this, this huge contrast made Zhao Shitou unable to accept it, and his expression was indescribable.
Gu Huaijin had no idea that Zhao Shitou was thinking so much. When he saw Zhao Shitou coming into the yard, he didn't feel embarrassed at all about being seen washing clothes. Instead, he stood up calmly, washed his hands, and took the things from Zhao Shitou.
"What a hassle! I'm taking a day off today, and I still have you running all over again."
"It's not a bother, political commissar. What are you going to do with the cement?" Zhao Shitou asked, thinking that if he couldn't come, he wouldn't be able to help. It looked like neither of the couple in the family was capable of doing this job.
He was also worried that the political commissar would not be able to operate it and waste the cement. Cement was a scarce commodity here, and he had to talk his mouth off before he went to the logistics department to buy a bag.
"Clean up the toilet and build a squat toilet."
"I'll come over to help after dinner. The two of us should be quick." Zhao Shitou was shocked. It was indeed a bit of a waste to use cement to repair the toilet, but it was not easy to say it out loud because the cement had already been bought.
"No need. I can almost finish it by myself today. It's a day off. You can go back and have a good rest. You don't need to come over." Gu Huaijin quickly refused. He himself didn't like to take up his subordinates' private time. Rest is rest. If there are still tasks, no matter what form of work it is, it can't be called rest.
Seeing that he was persistent, Zhao Shitou said no more and said that he was going to eat first and then disappeared.
"How old is Zhao Shitou?" After washing the dishes, Song Zhi saw Zhao Shitou going out. He walked to Gu Huaijin and asked curiously.
"You're 21, why are you asking this?" Gu Huaijin sat down and continued washing clothes, turned his head to look at her and answered.
"He looks quite small, but he is a nice and honest person." Song Zhi looked towards the door and commented casually.
Gu Huaijin paused while washing clothes, then asked jokingly, "Didn't you say before that Ji Yanting was a nice person and good-looking? What do you think now?"
When Song Zhi heard this, he felt that it was definitely not said by the original owner, and he could not recall such a thing. He refuted speechlessly, "Did I say this? Why don't I remember it?"
"When you were in junior high school, there was one time when you didn't get up before I went to school, and I didn't have time to pick you up. It was Ji Yanting who gave you a ride. You said this to me when you got home that night." Gu Huaijin stood up and rinsed the washed clothes twice, then began to carry the washed clothes in the basin and put them on the clothesline, stating calmly.
Song Zhi seemed to remember that the original owner had done this to anger Gu Huaijin, so she praised Ji Yanting in front of him and belittled him. But in the end, it was conceivable that the only person who was furious was the original owner, because Gu Huaijin didn't care about what she said at all?
However, Song Zhi was a little puzzled. "It happened so long ago, how come you remember it so clearly? Could it be that... when I said Ji Yanting was more handsome than you, you were very upset, and you endured it all the time and now fight back against me? Hahaha, I didn't expect you to be this kind of Gu Huaijin."
When Gu Huaijin heard this, his expression did not change at all. He was indeed very uncomfortable at the time, but it was indeed his fault. Su Yitong's mother was not feeling well that day and went to his house to ask for help in sending Su Yitong to school. When an elder asked for help, Gu Huaijin naturally had no way to refuse.
Although he left early, he stopped by Ji Yanting's house and asked him to pick up Song Zhi and take him to school.
"I just want to tell you, don't judge someone based on just a few meetings. A person's true character will be revealed over time."
"Tsk, time may not reveal a person's true character. After all, some people like to pretend and can pretend for their entire lives. I will be nice to those who treat me well. I won't indulge those who treat me badly." Song Zhi was very dissatisfied with his words. Although he agreed a little in his heart, he still refuted him.
Seeing that she would not turn back until she hit the wall, Gu Huaijin stopped discussing the issue and took the shovel that Zhao Shitou had just leaned against the wall and prepared to go outside to dig a manure pit.
Seeing him start to get busy, Song Zhi shut up in time and said no more. She turned and went into the house. She planned to take out the quilts, mattresses and other things to dry in the sun while the weather was good today, as well as the winter clothes. Although the weather was good now, the temperature difference between morning and night was particularly large, and it was hard to say when the temperature would drop. She was afraid of cold, so it was better to prepare early to avoid being in a hurry when the weather got cold.
I had just taken my cotton jacket out of the closet and hadn't had time to hang it out to dry when I heard the radio.
"Comrade Gu Huaijin, please come to the postal center as soon as possible to pick up your package."
Wasn't Gu Huaijin's package hers? She didn't even bother to take care of her clothes and quickly put them back where they were. She bumped into Gu Huaijin who was washing his hands in the courtyard.
"I'll go get it. If there are too many things, you won't be able to carry them all." When Gu Huaijin saw her come out, he knew that she was going to get something.
After Gu Huaijin finished washing his hands, she said, "Let's go together. If there are a lot of things, I can help carry some so we don't have to run back and forth."
When Gu Huaijin heard her say this, he nodded, and the two of them went to pick up the package together.
"Who was that just past? He looked unfamiliar. Could he be from our courtyard?"
