Chapter 30(1/2)
030. When he is named on the gold medal list, she will be given a splendid dress
It was late at night, and Gu Xiaoxiao stopped a few kids from continuing to play. It was time to go to bed.
On this autumn night, a few boys were sweating on their heads, and some were going crazy.
Gu Xiaoxiao hurriedly fetched them water to bathe to prevent them from catching wind and cold, especially the three treasures, which were already very cold, and the four treasures that had to be nursed back to health after detoxification, so they couldn't be careless.
After finishing cleaning up quickly, they all slowly fell asleep. Dabao had that dream again. The cold wind was blowing in the ruined temple, and a whimpering sound came through the crack in the door, like a woman's cry. He was still sitting on the ground crying,
Just as he was about to faint, he saw a person walking in from outside the ruined temple. The figure was very familiar, and seemed to be... his father.
On the second day, Dabao began to feel a little absent-minded again. Was the figure he saw in his dream last night really his father? Could it be that... he was just picked up by his father? He felt very uncomfortable when he thought of this possibility.
Gu Xiaoxiao noticed his emotion, knelt down and looked at him, and asked softly: "What's wrong? Are you having another nightmare?"
Dabao nodded and told Gu Xiaoxiao before, so it was not so difficult to speak this time and told him about last night's dream again.
Gu Xiaoxiao frowned calmly, then quickly hid it again, and said with a chuckle: "Don't think too much, look how much you look like your father, how could you not be biological? If this is the case,
Your father will be very sad when he hears this!"
Dabao stopped thinking after hearing this. Indeed, he and his father are somewhat similar. If he is not his father's biological son, then the second, third and fourth treasures are not the same, so how could it be possible?
His expression became cheerful again, and Gu Xiaoxiao was happy to see that he had been comforted.
Dabao and Erbao went to practice boxing. Gu Xiaoxiao thought about it for a while and felt that it was impossible. Not only did Dabao's every move and every move look very similar to Zhou Zeyun, but his little face was also somewhat similar. It was impossible to say that he was not his biological son.
There's no way to explain this.
So she stopped thinking about it and went to prepare breakfast.
After breakfast, Gu Xiaoxiao wanted to go to town early today. He had a lot to do, so he continued to teach a few pastries. It was the beginning of the month and he had to teach Xiao Siyuan new dishes.
Just as he was about to go out, Qian Bin and Aunt Zhao came over together.
Gu Xiaoxiao hurriedly stepped forward to greet her, "Aunt Zhao, why are you here! Come in quickly."
After the two of them entered the door, Qian Bin said with a smile: "My mother is thinking about giving you shoes, but when I said I would bring them with me, she refused and insisted on delivering them in person."
Gu Xiaoxiao glared at Aunt Zhao, echoed Qian Bin's words, and said, "That's right, Aunt Zhao, just ask Qian Bin to bring her here. Why bother you to go there in person?"
Aunt Zhao liked Mrs. Gu very much. If she hadn't been Tuesday's wife, she would have wanted to pair Mrs. Gu with her son.
But now I see that Mrs. Gu is even more handsome and pretty, and now I look at my son, but she is a bit unworthy of her.
So I sighed in my heart, just in terms of appearance, my son is indeed not as good as the boy on Tuesday.
Hearing Mrs. Gu's words, Aunt Zhao retracted her thoughts and said with a smile: "How can that be done? This is the job I took. What's the point of asking others to send it here!"
Qian Bin's face darkened, he was her biological son! How could he be considered someone else? It's over, my mother doesn't love him anymore, alas!
Gu Xiaoxiao also noticed Qian Bin's expression, smiled softly, and said to Aunt Zhao: "Okay~ Aunt Zhao is interested."
Aunt Zhao even smiled and said, "While Qian Bin is working for you, I will be busy with the autumn harvest at home. Otherwise, I would have sent it to you long ago. I didn't delay you, right?"
Gu Xiaoxiao shook his head and said with a smile: "No~"
Aunt Zhao handed the cloth bag containing the five pairs of snakeskin shoes to Gu Xiaoxiao and said hurriedly: "Quick, let your family come out with the children on Tuesday to try it out. If there is any discomfort, I will take it back and change it!
"
Gu Xiaoxiao responded, and then called Zhou Zeyun and the fourth child out. The children came out of the house and saw that the stepmother had made new shoes for them. The second and fourth treasures immediately jumped up with joy. Dabao
He Sanbao was also very happy and took the snakeskin shoes of his own size with a smile.
Gu Xiaoxiao handed Zhou Zeyun his only pair of adult-sized shoes. The color was grey-brown, very suitable for men, not flashy or ostentatious.
Zhou Zeyun was also very surprised. He didn't expect that Gu Xiaoxiao would do so many things for them without them knowing.
After taking the shoe, he realized that Xiaoxiao was not taking care of himself again. He frowned slightly and said, "You didn't make one for yourself?"
Gu Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment. She had never thought of preparing one for herself, not to mention that she took a quick look at the snake skin and found it was only enough for the five of them.
As an agent in my previous life, I didn't pay much attention to these external belongings. When performing missions, I always wore the same night clothes and shoes. At most, I just wore casual clothes when I was at home. I really didn't pay much attention to it.
After arriving here, she only wanted to change into new, suitable clothes because she had lost weight and her clothes were too baggy.
She may be used to this.
But the first thing Zhou Zeyun thought of was her, just like she had been thinking about them, which made her a little inexplicably happy.
She pretended to be calm and said: "It doesn't matter to me, this color doesn't suit me very well, please try it quickly."
Zhou Zeyun's eyes darkened, and he secretly made up his mind that after he was named on the gold medal list, he would give her a splendid dress.
Since then, he has been even more willing to work hard for their future.
Later, Zhou Zeyun and the children all put them on. They were soft and extremely comfortable, and because they were made of snakeskin, they were not as stuffy as ordinary cloth shoes. The children especially liked them, which made Zhou Zeyun even more regretful. It was a pity that Gu Xiaoxiao did not
One serving.
He suddenly thought of something and said to Gu Xiaoxiao: "How do you know our sizes so accurately?"
When Aunt Zhao heard Zhou Zeyun's question, she pretended to be angry and said, "You kid, I'm not talking about you. Talking like this hurts Madam Gu's heart. Wife-in-laws naturally understand their husbands thoroughly, and you men have always been ignorant of these things."
Don’t care!”
As soon as these words came out, both Zhou Zeyun and Gu Xiaoxiao were embarrassed. Only they knew that they were not like ordinary couples.
"Ahem." Zhou Zeyun coughed lightly, "Well, the children still need to practice calligraphy, let's go to the house first." Then he bowed to Aunt Zhao and Qian Bin, then picked up Little Si Bao as if running away.
When I returned to the house, my face turned red because of Aunt Zhao's words.
When the other three children saw that their father said they still wanted to practice calligraphy, they politely imitated their father's example and bowed to Grandma Zhao and Uncle Qian Bin, then followed their father back to the house.
Gu Xiaoxiao curled her lips slightly and ran away?! She was also very embarrassed, okay?
Aunt Zhao didn't notice anything strange between the couple. When she saw Zhou Zeyun leaving, she quietly said to Gu Xiaoxiao: "This man is like this. Tuesday is already good. You two will have a good time and you will be happy."
of!"
Gu Xiaoxiao couldn't say anything more, so he smiled awkwardly and nodded.
Seeing her like this, Aunt Zhao thought it was the young man's embarrassment, so she stopped continuing the topic.
After thinking for a while, he said: "By the way, when I made these pairs of shoes, I had a little bit of leather left, just a few scraps. There wasn't much left, so I put it on my Qian Bin's vest. It's light and warm, and it's also
It's very comfortable." Aunt Zhao explained, fearing that Mrs. Gu would misunderstand that she deliberately removed the excess leather.
Gu Xiaoxiao also knew what Aunt Zhao was thinking and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, Aunt Zhao. I said at the beginning that you should keep the leftover leather and use it. I don't need it anyway."
"Hey, hey." Aunt Zhao nodded and smiled.
Gu Xiaoxiao then took out two hundred coins from his sleeve and handed it to Aunt Zhao, "This is the fee agreed before, please take it."
Aunt Zhao didn't refuse, she had already agreed to it before, so she accepted it calmly, stood up and said, "Okay, if there's nothing else to do, I'll go back first. There's still work to do at home, so you can talk to Qian Bin, and I'll
I won't disturb you anymore." She paused and then said, "If you still need Auntie's help in the future, just say so, ha."
Gu Xiaoxiao also stood up, nodded with a smile, and walked Aunt Zhao to the door with Qian Bin, watching her leave.
Qian Bin also warned: "Please pay attention to your own safety."
"I know! Let's talk!" Aunt Zhao not far away waved her hand.
Gu Xiaoxiao looked at the mother and son, smiling slightly. Aunt Zhao's home was also in the village, and it was only a tea time's walk away from her home. Aunt Zhao was not old, so she would be safe and could do anything.
The child still warned him, as if saying so would make him feel reassured.
After Aunt Zhao left, she and Qian Bin sat at the stone table in the courtyard and started talking about the medicine store.
"I have something to go to town today, so I can only wait until tomorrow. I will take you to the mountain to plan the area and take safety measures. You can also use these two days to gather people together. How about we start construction the day after tomorrow?" Gu
Xiaoxiao said.
Qian Bin nodded and said: "Okay, I also plan to ask the previous group today to see if they can continue to come. If not, I will have to go to the town to invite workers."
"Well, then you can also come to me tomorrow. We will go directly to the mountain and conduct field research then!"
"Okay! Then I'll go back and find someone first." Qian Bin stood up and said goodbye.
Gu Xiaoxiao also sent him out of the house.
Qian Bin left, and Gu Xiaoxiao went into the house to tidy up and planned to go to town. At this time, Zhou Zeyun came out of the east room and asked again: "How on earth do you know the size of our shoes?" He knew that Aunt Zhao must not have said it.
That way!
Gu Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, then she walked up to him with her lips curled up, stretched out her index finger to lift his chin, and teased: "Didn't Aunt Zhao say it all? As a woman, you must know your husband thoroughly!"
She emphasized the word "thorough" a little bit.
At the mention of this, Zhou Zeyun's face turned red again. He turned his head and coughed lightly, and said in a hoarse voice: "You...you should be serious."
Gu Xiaoxiao suppressed a laugh, raised her eyebrows and pursed her lips, and said teasingly: "Mr. sir, why am I not serious? I think... I am quite serious~" The voice was slow but particularly pleasant, and his fingers were caressing Zhou Zeyun.
There was a slight stubble on his chin, and then his fingers moved downward a little, across his Adam's apple, and stopped at his collarbone.
This made Zhou Zeyun swallow deeply unconsciously, especially when he saw Gu Xiaoxiao's white teeth and red lips opening and closing, and his Adam's apple rolling up and down. He said nervously: "You...you still want to go, don't you?"
In town, don't...don't be too late."
Then he hurriedly turned around to go back to the east room, feeling regretful that he shouldn't have come out!
Gu Xiaoxiao shouted softly behind him: "Zhou Zeyun!"
