I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl

Gu Wenxuan was silent for a moment, then raised her hand to wipe away his tears, "Don't worry, I will live a different life that I got for free."

Seeing that Bai Jingzhou didn't quite believe it, Gu Wenxuan patiently explained, "I don't have to fight and kill every day to make a living. There are many ways of life that can satisfy me."

It is certainly interesting to carry heavy loads and risk your life, but starting from scratch and building something from nothing will definitely not be boring, right?

The surprise came so suddenly that Bai Jingzhou blinked hard in disbelief.

Gu Wenxuan couldn't help but laugh out loud. She always felt that Bai Jingzhou seemed to be a little more clumsy in front of her than in front of other people.

Maybe it was because she had seen him at his most embarrassed and helpless, so he simply couldn't put on any airs of superiority in front of her.

The two of them traveled very quickly. In less than half an hour, they had arrived at the busiest central street area in Liulin Town, one after the other.

Liulin Town is not big, with only three streets in the central district, and they are short streets with only about twenty shops facing each other and houses of varying ages.

Following the original owner's memory, the two first went to the blacksmith shop in the town. Bai Jingzhou used the silver money given by his mother to buy a new hatchet in the blacksmith shop.

Gu Wenxuan wondered, "Isn't your hatchet still in good condition?"

"This is for you." Bai Jingzhou explained, "Aren't you going to rob other gangs? You can't fight with others without a weapon."

In other words, they couldn't buy decent weapons in their small place, otherwise he would actually like to save more money and buy a saber for Gu Wenxuan.

Gu Wenxuan was touched and amused. "You spent so much money to buy me a knife. Aren't you afraid that your mother will scold you when you go back?"

Bai Jingzhou smiled, "My mother heard that I wanted to buy you a birthday present, so she not only gave me a few extra pieces of silver, but also repeatedly warned me not to be stingy and make you unhappy."

Gu Wenxuan raised her eyebrows in surprise.

Bai Jingzhou explained, "My mother said she would not be a bad mother-in-law, and she also said she would learn from my grandmother instead of my aunt."

Gu Wenxuan chuckled, "Then you will be blessed in the future."

Bai Jingzhou glanced at her and silently swallowed the words that were not suitable to be said at this time. He took Gu Wenxuan and crossed the remaining half of the street to the open space at the end of the central block.

The open space was the town's fixed market. When Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan arrived, the open space was already filled with various small stalls. Half of the vendors were residents of the town, and the other half were people from nearby villages who came to sell vegetables, eggs, chickens, ducks, river fish, and other miscellaneous mountain products.

Bai Jingzhou first bought the sesame cakes, bowl dumplings and green rice balls that Gu Wenxuan was interested in for her to eat, and then picked two live fish, two chickens, a basket of eggs, two pieces of pork belly and two pieces of pork fat from other stalls.

After buying these, the two went to the three streets in the central district.

They first walked around for a while, and then bought ten pounds of white flour, ten pounds of glutinous rice, two pounds of coarse salt, two bags of brown sugar, two packages of cakes, a small amount of maltose balls, two pieces of fine ramie cloth, twenty meat buns, as well as red dates and yellow glutinous rice for making rice dumplings for the Dragon Boat Festival, and five-colored threads for tying five-colored ropes for children.

Neither family was well-off, so they simply chose the most common and cheapest colors for the five-color thread: black, white, gray, red, and blue.

The coarse salt purchase limit policy required not only that one must bring one's household registration booklet to purchase it, but also that each person could only buy one pound at a time. So every once in a while, the Bai family and the Gu family would have to send someone to the town to buy some coarse salt.

This time Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan came to the town together, so the two adults simply entrusted the task of buying salt to them.

After shopping, the two walked back, and Bai Jingzhou chatted with Gu Wenxuan, "My family plans to send you a piece of pork belly, two fish, two bags of brown sugar, two packages of cakes, ten catties of polished rice, and a piece of fine gauze cloth for the Dragon Boat Festival."

Gu Wenxuan was surprised, "Do you need to give so much?"

In the memories that Gu Wenxuan received, the prospective sons-in-law of other families in the village had never given such generous New Year gifts to the Yue family in previous years.

Bai Jingzhou smiled, "Isn't this the first year?"

He was too embarrassed to say that it was his sister who told his mother that his brother was "worthless", causing his mother to fear that something was not done well at home and that there would be a rift between her son and daughter-in-law in the future.

Of course, the main reason is that his family is indeed richer than the average family in the village and can afford it.

Gu Wenxuan thought for a moment and said, "Then my family should also prepare a return gift for your family."

The adults in her family don't like to take advantage of others. Since the Bai family has sent so many things, her adults will be very happy and will definitely prepare a generous return gift.

The two chatted all the way back to the village. When they passed by Bai Jingzhou's house, Gu Wenxuan helped him deliver the things into the yard.

This time when they went to the town, Bai Jingzhou bought far more things than Gu Wenxuan, but his injuries had not yet fully recovered, so most of those things were either placed in Gu Wenxuan's backpack or carried in Gu Wenxuan's hands.

The old neighbor lady who heard the noise witnessed through the crack of her own front door that Gu Wenxuan came in carrying a bunch of things on her back, and then came out empty-handed with her backpack mostly empty.

The old lady exclaimed that she was a great guy, and after Bai Jingzhou's parents came back, she expressed her admiration for Gu Wenxuan's diligence and ability in front of them.

"Your Jingzhou is really blessed. The girl from the Gu family took a lot of things, but he only carried two pieces of cloth and two fish."

Bai Jingzhou's parents were so embarrassed that they called Bai Jingzhou as soon as they entered the house and asked him why he didn't feel sorry for his future wife at all.

Bai Jingzhou was confused, "Dad, Mom, what are you talking about?"

Bai Chong had a look of disappointment on his face, while Ning Cuizhi, with a headache, relayed to Bai Jingzhou what the old lady next door had said.

Bai Jingzhou: ...

He said, "Wenxuan said that my injury has not fully healed yet and I can't carry anything too heavy."

Moreover, Gu Wenxuan is also a power-type evolver. Even if he wants to snatch those things for himself, he needs to have the ability to do so, right?

Bai Chong and Ning Cuizhi were not satisfied with their son's words. Bai Chong said, "Then you shouldn't really leave so many things to Wenxuan to carry!"

Ning Cuizhi and Bai Jingzhou's brother and sister, who were eavesdropping with their eyes blinked, nodded in agreement, "That's right!"

Bai Jingzhou, who simply failed to snatch Gu Wenxuan’s favor:…

He was wronged! If he had the final say, didn't he know how to behave in front of his sweetheart? Was he some kind of fool?

The other protagonist of the topic, Gu Wenxuan, was unaware that Bai Jingzhou's reputation had been damaged because of her taking on so much responsibility. When Bai Jingzhou was collectively attacked by his parents and brothers and sisters, she was smilingly distributing meat buns to her family members.
