"Yeah, okay." Gu Mingjing nodded in response. Then he slurped a few more mouthfuls of noodles.
After a while, half of the noodles in the bowl were gone. It was obvious that he was really hungry.
"Eat slowly, there's more in the pot, it's all yours!" Seeing him eating so fast and worried that he would choke, Jianshu quickly stopped him.
Gu Mingjing took a big sip of soup, looked up and smiled at Jian Shu, a hint of silliness in his smile, "Look at me, I've gotten used to it these days."
"It's okay, you'll be fine once you get home." Jian Shu wiped the soup from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief and smiled gently.
"Hehe!" Gu Mingjing raised his chin to cooperate with her, with the corners of his mouth grinning.
Then he buried his head in eating noodles again, and this time, he ate much slower.
In the end, the big pot of noodles ordered by Jianshu was finished cleanly.
"Leave these to me to clean up. Go take a shower. I just boiled hot water for you." Seeing him start to clean up the dishes, Jian Shu hurriedly stopped him and pushed him into the bathroom.
Gu Mingjing stood still, waiting for Jian Shu to look up in confusion before pretending to be pitiful and saying, "Wife, I'm tired and have no strength left. I need you to help me wash."
"...Okay." Seeing his pitiful look, although she knew he was pretending, Jianshu finally agreed out of soft heart.
Isn't it just taking a shower? It's not like you haven't seen it before.
"Then I'll go get some water!" Gu Mingjing responded excitedly.
Seeing him carrying a large bucket of water effortlessly, Jianshu knew that he had been fooled again.
The bathroom was filled with steam, and visibility was visibly reduced.
Gu Mingjing was sitting in the bathtub, and Jianshu was wiping his back with a towel.
The sound of running water brought a pleasant melody to the quiet bathroom.
After taking a shower, Jian Shu pounded his sore arms and glared at the steamy man beside him. "You have thick skin! I won't rub your back again!"
But she was so exhausted, she had never felt so tired even when taking a shower.
"Then I'll wash it for you from now on!" Gu Mingjing leaned close to her ear and said this.
"roll!"
"Yes, sir!"
The two of them played around for a while before sitting together on the lounge chairs in the yard and chatting.
Most of the time it was Jianshu who talked about how she went to the mountains to pick mushrooms but accidentally fell several times, which was not even as bad as Tiedan, a child.
She said she harvested all the vegetables in the backyard and made them into dried vegetables and pickles, so she wouldn't have to worry about vegetables in the winter.
She said she bought a lot of mountain products and planned to send some to her relatives and friends when the time comes.
Say she...
I said a lot.
Gu Mingjing listened to these little bits and pieces with great interest. He felt very sorry for the days when he was not involved.
"Do you like Tiedan very much?" Tiedan's name appeared most frequently, forcing Gu Mingjing to pay attention.
Jian Shu nodded, "Of course I like him! He's obedient and sensible, who wouldn't like a child like that?"
"Then you can often invite him to play at home."
"You don't need to tell me, he has become a frequent visitor to our house now."
During this period, as long as Jianshu was at home, Tiedan would basically come to report once a day, sometimes for most of the day and sometimes for an hour.
Gu Mingjing: “…” I always feel like my position is insecure.
After thinking for a while, he suddenly hugged Jianshu and whispered in her ear: "Shushu, let's have a child."
"Why are you talking about this suddenly?" Jian Shu was stunned.
They talked about this topic when they first got married, and at that time both of them did not want to have children.
Gu Mingjing wanted to spend some time alone with his wife. He had finally found his wife, and he didn't want a child to steal her attention. Jianshu, on the other hand, wasn't ready to be a mother just yet.
"Nothing, I just saw that you like children very much."
"I don't like children, I just like Tiedan very much." Jianshu said with a smile.
Other people’s children are the cutest. You don’t need to take care of them or coax them. When you meet them, you just need to hug them and play with them. They are soft and fun to play with.
But it’s different at home. I have to coax the kids whenever they cry or make a fuss. The devilish noise is so loud that it almost makes people deaf. Not to mention I have to take care of them when they eat, drink, defecate, urinate and sleep. Every now and then I have to pee on them. Just thinking about it makes me feel disgusted.
"Oh, I thought..." Gu Mingjing then realized that he had misunderstood.
"I thought I wanted a child?" Jian Shu looked at him with amusement. "If I really wanted a child, wouldn't I have my own? Why do I have to envy other people's children?"
"I was wrong." Gu Mingjing scratched his head embarrassedly, "Then let's not have children for now and talk about it later."
"Then remember to explain to Dad," Jian Shu reminded.
"Don't worry, Dad already has several grandchildren, he won't rush us." Gu Mingjing was not worried at all. His eldest brother and sister-in-law already had several children, and his father had many grandchildren.
Two years ago, his sister-in-law was afraid that his father would be lonely, so she wanted to send the eldest child to accompany his grandfather. However, his father refused because he thought it was too much trouble.
In his father's words, raising those two brats was exhausting for him, and he would not help them take care of their grandchildren. Whoever gave birth to them should take care of them.
"Just remember it. If Dad asks, you have to stand in front."
"Okay!" Gu Mingjing asked.
As a man, isn't it your job to protect your wife from the wind and rain?
The two spent the whole afternoon in the yard, and in the evening Jianshu specially made a delicious meal for Gu Mingjing to nourish him.
The stewed chicken was stewed with mushrooms, potatoes and vermicelli. The potatoes were stewed until very mushy and broke into pieces when poked with chopsticks.
Jianshu loves to mix rice with soup and ate two bowls in a row. Gu Mingjing also enjoyed his meal. The big pot of noodles in the afternoon seemed to have entered the second dimension and did not affect his appetite in the evening at all.
In the end, he finished all the remaining dishes, including the soup and vegetables, leaving no leftovers.
"Hmm - it's still better to eat at home!" After finishing his meal, Gu Mingjing leaned back in his chair and sighed lazily.
"Whatever you want to eat these two days, I will make it for you!" Jianshu looked at Gu Mingjing at this moment, just like a mother looking at a college student who just got off vacation. Everything about him was good and he could get whatever he wanted.
"I love everything my wife cooks!" Gu Mingjing never forgets to express his loyalty.
"You're such a jerk!" Jian Shu scolded with a smile. "Okay, let's get serious now. What do you want to eat?"
"Can you eat anything you want?" The two were very close, and Gu Mingjing's breath hit Jianshu's neck, making it feel itchy.
"Yes, anything we have at home will do!" Jian Shu nodded without hesitation.
"Don't worry, there must be one at home!" His voice was full of confidence.
"What?" Jian Shu looked up.
The next second, the whole person was picked up horizontally.
"Ah——" a cry of surprise.
Jian Shu put her arms around his neck and met his dark eyes. If she still didn't understand what he wanted to eat at this moment, she would be a fool.
"I haven't taken a shower yet!" She struggled, patting his back hard.
"No, let's wash together later!"
The two people's voices gradually faded away, leaving only a flickering lamp in their place.
