Quick travel: The poor little thing in the period novel strikes back

"Oh, I see. Does your wife cry a lot when she sleeps at night?"

After asking this question, Gu Zhen was actually very embarrassed, but he pretended to be calm on the surface. Tie Zhu, who was asked by Gu Zhen, was stunned, then showed an obscene smile, and then lowered his voice and said:

"Ruthless, how can I not be ruthless? Don't you see my capital? I guarantee that he won't be able to get out of here the next day!"

"What? Did Brother Zhen hurt his sister-in-law because he wasn't paying attention?"

"I knew our Brother Zhen was not an ordinary person. Is it possible that my sister-in-law can't come down to the field right now? Otherwise, why did Brother Zhen come down to the field at this time today!"

At this moment, Gu Zhen's mind was full of the image of his energetic and nimble young wife in the morning. Listening to Tiezhu's slightly obscene questions, he felt that his male dignity was deeply insulted.

His face, which was originally a little embarrassed, was now completely dark, but he still didn't believe that he was a weak person. After all, he knew very well what his physical condition was like.

He then patiently lowered his voice and whispered to Tiezhu. If someone came over to eavesdrop, all they would hear was Tiezhu's complacent words as he shared his experiences.

Gu Zhen patiently listened to Tiezhu's long speech of bragging, but still learned some experience from most of the false nonsense. When it was almost time for lunch, he returned home contentedly.

Before Gu Zhen reached the gate of the courtyard, he ran into the village chief who was leading a strange young man.

When the village chief saw Gu Zhen, he was delighted and waved to him to stop.

"Boss of the Gu family, isn't it a coincidence that I met you?"

"This is the propaganda officer from the commune. He came here to deliver something to your wife and the wife of the eldest son of the Ye family. Now that he has met you, it is just right to hand the things over to you so that we don't have to run back and forth between the two families."

Gu Zhen still remembered that his wife had mentioned ginseng and rewards to him yesterday, and he took the things handed to him by the young secretary without any hesitation.

After parting ways with the others and walking back home, he flipped through the things he brought home:

5 jin of refined rice, 5 jin of flour, 5 jin of pork, and 5 big unity cards.

He hadn't seen so much money for many years. Gu Zhen was happy that he had married such a lucky wife, but at the same time he felt a little uncomfortable.

My young wife is so capable. After only a few days here, she has managed the house in perfect order and now she can even make money.

Although his wife is thin, she seems to be in better health than himself after taking care of herself for the past few days. Yesterday was the first time they went together. He still felt a little weak when he got up in the morning, but his wife went up the mountain happily.

This obvious contrast made him feel really useless. He couldn't give his young wife a good life. Wasn't there any way for him to make his young wife comfortable in bed?

Gu Zhen felt that he was too cowardly. He had to find a way to make money so that his young wife could live a good life, and at the same time he had to regain his prowess in bed.

After sorting out his somewhat confused mind, Gu Zhen put the rewards from the commune back into the house, ready to wait for his wife to come back and let her decide what to do with them. He then went about making a fire and cooking lunch without complaint.

On the other side on the mountain, Shi Yan, who was following Shen Nanci to step on herbs and wild vegetables, had no idea about Gu Zhen’s lofty ambitions. It can be said that she gained a lot from following Shen Nanci.

Shen Nanci is worthy of being the heroine of this world. Her luck is extraordinary. Usually, Gu Zhen and his sister search the back mountain but can't find many herbs for pain relief and sleeping. But following Shen Nanci, she can always find a large area of ​​them, even if they are not all over the mountain.

Not to mention all kinds of wild vegetables, mushrooms, chestnuts...

Shi Yan followed Shen Nanci up the mountain, and when they came down the mountain, the backpack they carried was also full.

"Xiao Man, you can't carry the backpack, why don't you put some in my basket and I'll help you carry it down the mountain. I'll go back after I send you home."

In the past, Shen Nanci not only had to work in the fields, but also went to school in town, so he didn't know Shi Xiaoman.

But after yesterday and today's interactions, he found that Shi Xiaoman was indeed a very easy-going girl, and hardworking. Now, seeing a little girl who was much thinner than himself carrying a big backpack, he wanted to help.

"No, no, Nan Ci, even though I'm small, I'm used to doing housework at home, and I'm quite strong, so carrying a backpack is nothing."

In fact, Shi Yan also felt that the backpack on her back was very heavy. Even though she had been able to use a little bit of her special powers to nourish her body in the past two days, she was still sweating profusely from exhaustion.

But when she thought about the fact that the person next to her was the heroine and they had only known each other for a short time, she had to leave a good impression on her no matter what. How could she immediately agree to help someone when they asked her to?

"Okay, then Xiaoman, if you feel too tired to bear it later, you must tell me, don't force yourself to bear it."

Shi Yan immediately nodded obediently, and couldn't help but admire Shen Nanci in her heart. Excluding the fact that she was the heroine of the novel, she was indeed a kind and enthusiastic person.

Although Shen Nanci agreed to Shi Yan verbally, he still slowed down his pace along the way to accommodate Shi Yan, and he even secretly carried Shi Yan's backpack from behind, thinking it was covert.

When the two came down the mountain with their baskets on their backs, it was the time when the villagers were getting off work, so many people saw that they had a good harvest. Some people even came forward to ask Shi Yan and Shen Nanci where they picked the wild vegetables and chestnuts in the baskets.

Shi Yan and Shen Nanci did not think of hiding anything, and they readily told the villagers who came to inquire about the location. Some impatient aunts, after knowing the location, were worried that if they went too late, others would have picked all the fruits, so they simply did not go home and turned around to go into the mountains.

In the end, Shi Yan was sent all the way back home under Shen Nanci's warm hospitality.

Before Shi Yan reached home, she saw the smoke coming from the house from afar. She knew without hesitation that it was Gu Zhen who was cooking, so after saying goodbye to Shen Nanci, she went straight to the kitchen.

In the kitchen;

"Wife, why did you carry so many things back? Are you okay?"

Gu Zhen was cooking when he heard some noise at the kitchen door. He turned around and saw his young wife. His eyes, which had been a little blurry from the smoke from the fireworks, suddenly brightened.

He threw down the spatula in his hand, still concerned about his young wife's health, and immediately went forward to help Shi Yan take down the backpack.

When he saw the full basket of mountain products, he was extremely surprised. At the same time, the discomfort that he had just suppressed came up again, and his voice became a little muffled.

Shi Yan noticed that Gu Zhen was in a bad mood at the first moment, but she did not rush to ask. Instead, she answered Gu Zhen's questions obediently.

"Brother Zhen, don't worry. Ever since I married Brother Zhen, he has not allowed me to do anything. I have gained weight and I still have the energy to find some mountain products in the mountains."

"Also, although the backpack was heavy, Nan Ci helped me carry it all the way back home, so Nan Ci didn't make me tired."

Gu Zhen was originally in a low mood, but after hearing what his young wife said, he looked at the person in front of him and then nodded slightly.

The young wife now has indeed gained some weight compared to when she first married into the Gu family. This weight is gained by feeding her meal by meal. This is all thanks to him.

"It's better to gain some weight. It's good for your health. If you want to go up the mountain, call me. I'm your man. I'll help you carry your backpack. I won't let you do any heavy work!"
