Wang Xu resigned himself to filling her hot water bottle: "Go to bed early. Call me if you need anything. You don't have to go to the fields tomorrow. I'll do your work for you."
Gu Xi lay on the bed with a hot water bottle on her stomach. Her stomach began to warm up and she gradually felt sleepy. Her mood also improved because of Wang Xu's care.
Before falling asleep, I secretly made up my mind that as an independent woman of the new era, I must not let a stinky man affect my mood.
Gu Xi tossed and turned all night, and slept until noon the next day. She saw Wan Xi weaving bamboo baskets in the yard. Wan Xi turned around and saw Gu Xi: "Gu Zhiqing, you are awake. Go wash up. I will get you some porridge. Brother Xu told me that you were not feeling well, so I cooked red bean porridge with some red dates."
Gu Xi quickly told her not to move: "Is your foot healed so quickly?"
Wan Xi waved her hand nonchalantly: "How can it be healed so quickly? My brother gave me medicine for two days and didn't let me move. Now I feel much better and can walk, but my posture is a little ugly."
Gu Xi still stopped her: "You should just sit down and continue weaving the bamboo baskets. I can do it myself."
Wan Xi watched Gu Xi go to the water tank and brush her teeth with cold water: "Are you feeling better? Does your stomach still hurt?"
Gu Xi shook her head and brushed her teeth, saying it was inconvenient to answer. Wan Xi saw that she was brushing her teeth in the yard like the other villagers, but she seemed out of place. "Gu Zhiqing, you won't stay here in the future, will you? Or do you want to go back?"
Gu Xi turned around and looked at Wan Xi: "Well, you have to go back eventually. Going back will give you better development. If you have the opportunity, you should also go out and see the world and broaden your horizons."
Wan Xi lowered his head: "I am timid and I don't have a chance. But if you want to go back, what about Brother Xu?"
Gu Xi didn't know how to explain: "I have my own life plan, and I won't change it for anyone. If Wang Xu wants..."
Before he could finish his words, Lin Ling's voice came from the door: "Boss Xu, what are you doing standing at the door? Gu Xi, I'm here to see you, how are you?"
Gu Xi watched Wang Xu and Lin Ling walk in one after another. Wang Xu also had a blank expression on his face, but Gu Xi could clearly feel that he looked a little depressed, probably because he had just heard the conversation between him and Wan Xi.
Gu Xi saw that Lin Ling was sweating again: "I'm fine. You worked all morning and came to see me. Aren't you tired?"
Lin Ling has adapted to the current amount of exercise: "I'm not tired, I'm used to it. I saw that you didn't go to work today, and it was Boss Xu who did the work for you. He said you fainted, I was scared to death, so I hurried to see you. I'm glad you're okay. I don't have anything to give you, next time I go to town I'll buy you some dates to replenish your body."
Gu Xi picked up the bowl and showed it: "I have red bean porridge with dates, so you don't have to worry about it. Thanks to Boss Xu, I'm in good spirits now."
Lin Ling felt relieved after seeing the man: "Then I will go back to eat and rest, and come to see you in the evening."
He jumped and walked away again. Gu Xi now completely believed that her statement about being in a better mood after the fight was because she was too energetic.
Wang Xu asked Wan Xi, "How is your injury recovering? You came to me on purpose to avoid your brother, right?"
Wan Xi smiled and stuck out her tongue: "I only have superficial injuries, I will be fine after applying some medicine. I was taken care of by my brother for two days, and meals were brought to my bedside even when I was lying down. I really couldn't stand it, so I told him that you asked me to help look after Gu Zhiqing and escaped.
You can't chase me away. I'll weave some bamboo baskets and you can help me sell them in town. I'll be back before dinner. "
Wang Xu was too embarrassed to chase him away: "Okay, if you don't feel well, go back early and have noodles for lunch."
Wan Xi put down the bamboo basket she was weaving and wanted to get up to help: "Sure, I can eat anything, I'll help you."
Wang Xu glanced at Wan Xi's awkward walking posture and said, "No need to help. Just sit down. I'll go take a shower first."
Every time Gu Xi watched the two of them getting along, she felt a little sad. She said that they spoke less than ten sentences a year, but today they spoke more than ten sentences. It was true that men's words could lie.
Gu Xi shook her head to remind herself not to let her emotions get in the way anymore.
Wan Xi saw her shaking her head: "Gu Zhiqing, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Wang Xu heard that Gu Xi was not feeling well: "Are you dizzy or have a stomachache?"
Gu Xi quickly denied: "No, I was just thinking about something. Don't worry about me, just chat about your own things."
Wang Xu looked at Gu Xi for a long time without saying anything. He quickly took a shower, went to the kitchen to make two bowls of noodles, and just as he was about to eat, he saw Gu Xi glanced at the noodles and said, "Do you want to eat noodles? I'll serve you a bowl?"
"Brother Xu, I want to eat noodles." Yin Jie ran in from outside, sweating all over, holding a letter in his hand and handed it to Gu Xi.
Gu Xi saw that it was a letter from home: "Why did you send a letter instead?"
Yin Jie smiled and said, "I happened to meet the postman at the door. He was a new face and I was not familiar with him, so I sent it to you. Wan Xi is here too? Is your injury healed?"
Wan Xi nodded slowly without answering, and became stiff.
Gu Xi didn't even bother to drink the porridge. She quickly opened the letter and read it. When she saw the money and tickets in the envelope, she couldn't help but tear up and sat there alone.
Seeing this, Yin Jie asked with concern: "Gu Zhiqing, is everything alright at home? Do you miss home?"
Gu Xi took a deep breath to calm down, but her voice was still a little choked up: "I do miss home a little. My family is so good to me. I'm not around to take care of them. I'm afraid they won't be able to afford food and clothing, and will reduce their quality of life and save money to send to me.
The last time I sent them a letter was to ask them to stop sending me money and tickets, but they still sent them. Most of the family’s salary goes to me. "
Wang Xu looked at Gu Xi like this and listened to her talking about her family. He deeply realized that as she said, it was impossible for her to stay in the countryside. That was fine. He also wanted to leave here. He learned to drive in the first place because he wanted to have the opportunity to work in logistics and look for opportunities. I had other plans in mind. My first priority was to make more money so that I could talk about the future.
Wang Xu gave the noodles he had not eaten yet to Yin Jie, and then went to make another bowl of noodles and brought it out.
Yin Jie ate very quickly, praising as he ate: "Brother Xu, white flour tastes really good, much better than what my grandma made. My grandma was reluctant to let me eat white flour. Thanks to Brother Huai An coming here, the food has improved."
Gu Xi was a little sad at first, but seeing how deliciously he was eating, she also felt a little greedy when she looked at the noodles in Wang Xu's bowl.
Wang Xu was helpless when he was looked at: "I just asked if you want it, but you didn't tell me. I've already eaten it. How about I make you another bowl?"
Gu Xi didn't mind: "Put some noodles in my bowl, don't make it again. We have been eating together for so long, what are you afraid of? I don't dislike you, you are not sick."
Wang Xu's ears turned red and he picked up a bowl of noodles for Gu Xi. Wan Xi looked around at the two of them curiously, and Yin Jie smiled obscenely.
Turning around, he saw Wan Xi had stopped eating: "Why did you stop? The noodles are not tasty anymore when they are cold."
Wan Xi's voice became very soft, a little embarrassed: "I haven't moved for the past few days, I'm not hungry at all, there are too many noodles, I can't eat anymore."
When Yin Jie heard that she couldn't eat anymore, he took her bowl and said, "If you can't eat anymore, I'll eat it. I don't mind you for such delicious food."
Wan Xi's face turned red, he lowered his head and counted on his fingers without saying a word.
