Fast-paced era: a warm and leisurely life

After all the children came to pay their New Year's greetings, the whole yard suddenly became quiet.

Gu Nuanyi waited for a while, and when she saw that no more children came, she locked the gate and entered the space.

The mature cotton, rice, green vegetables and sweet potatoes in the fields were harvested, and crops such as red dates and peas were replanted.

After working for a while, Gu Nuanyi sat down at the desk and started translating.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, many married women came back to visit their parents' home, and the whole brigade was very lively.

Those who brought back a lot of stuff wanted to show off to the whole team.

After Gu Nuanyi finished sweeping the snow, she heard the sound of a car outside and the excited shouts of a child: "Big car, big car!!!"

"Huh? Has someone come back from next door? What a big fuss!" When Gu Nuanyi came back, the yard next door was full of dense weeds. It was obvious that no one had been back for a long time.

Gu Nuanyi also walked out of the courtyard curiously, and saw a group of people in military uniforms jumping off a military pickup truck, then opened the door and lifted a man down.

Gu Nuanyi only took a glance to see that the man was seriously injured. If he was so seriously injured, why didn't he go to the hospital for treatment but came back instead? ?

The arrival of the military pickup truck attracted many people, and many people who like to join in the fun gathered around.

Someone recognized the injured man: "Hey, isn't that Hongzhe? Why was he carried back?"

"What else can I do? I'm injured~~"

"It looks like he's seriously injured, why aren't you staying in the hospital?"

The soldiers who came back with Gu Hongzhe cleaned up the yard and the house quickly.

"Gu Tuan, the yard and the house have been cleaned up. Gangzi and the others have also chopped a lot of firewood, but some of it is still wet and needs to be dried before it can be used. We will go to the commune to buy some coal later and you can use it first."

Gu Hongzhe said indifferently: "Don't bother, these firewoods are enough, and I am no longer the head of the group."

"In our hearts, you have always been our leader. If it weren't for that woman causing trouble, you would never have stepped down. You have already made a great contribution this time and could have been promoted to a higher rank. It's all because of that woman..."

Gu Hongzhe gently scolded: "Gangzi!!! Be careful with your words, there are so many people outside!!"

Gangzi looked at Gu Hongzhe aggrievedly: "Gu Tuan..."

"You guys work hard, don't let me ruin your future. It's good for me to retire now, so I can take a rest. It's getting late, you guys should go back too!"

Seeing that Gangzi was still trying to defend himself, the others quickly pulled Gangzi aside and said, "Gu Tuan, we'll leave first. We'll bring you the missing items in the house tomorrow."

Gu Hongzhe waved his hand: "I can buy it myself, you guys should hurry back to the army!"

"The commander told us to settle you down before we go back. Captain Gu, the doctor told you to have a good rest, so you shouldn't run around. I'll tell the captain here later and ask him to find someone to take care of you."

Gu Hongzhe frowned and said, "I'm not injured to the point where I can't take care of myself. The situation is tense right now, so don't do anything special. I can do it myself."

Gu Qianjin rushed over at this time: "Hongzhe, something happened at home and I came a little late, what are you doing..."

Gu Hongzhe: "I was injured during a mission, so I retired. I will be in the team from now on!"

Gu Qianjin's pale face and red eyes said, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. I'll have someone come over to clean up the room for you."

"No need, my comrades have already taken care of it for me."

"Then I'll have someone send you some firewood and food later."

"Then I'll trouble you, uncle."

Gu Qianjin waved his hand at the onlookers: "What are you all doing here? Go back home!!!"

Every household has guests today, so after a while of fun, everyone dispersed.

Gu Qianjin had someone deliver a lot of dry firewood: "Hongzhe, come to my uncle's house to eat tonight!"

"No need uncle, I have everything I need, I can do it myself!"

"You are injured, aren't you? If you don't come over, I'll ask Zhigao to bring you food later!" After saying that, he ran away quickly without waiting for Gu Hongzhe to refuse.

After dinner, Gu Hongzhe lay in bed, unable to fall asleep.

Are you willing to step down like this? Of course you are not willing, but what can you do? You don't want to marry that woman, and you don't have the strong backing of her...

Gu Hongzhe sighed leisurely: "e=(′o｀*))) Oh! It's better to retire and live a stable life in the future..."

The next day, the military pickup truck came again, and this time it brought a lot of stuff.

Food, pots and pans, quilts, cloth, coal... everything that can be used in life was bought in large quantities.

Gu Nuanyi found that many of the aunts' eyes were shining, like a wolf that had been hungry for a long time seeing its prey.

The thoughtful aunt said directly: "Hongzhe, you are injured and it is not convenient for you to live alone. Why don't you live in my house? I can cook for you..."

“No, I can cook for myself.”

"Hey, why are you being so polite to your aunt? Come back and live with me when you're well. Gu Qian is back from vacation, so it's a good opportunity to ask her to talk to you and relieve your boredom..."

The beads on this aunt's abacus are about to fall on Gu Hongzhe's face.

Gu Hongzhe said indifferently: "No, I can take care of myself. Besides, Gu Qian and I are not familiar with each other, so there is nothing to talk about."

The aunt smiled awkwardly: "Well, didn't you two love playing together when you were little..."

“I haven’t seen her since I was a kid.”

"Haha, really? I remembered it wrongly, haha." The aunt stepped back to the crowd in embarrassment.

The other aunts were very eager to bring Gu Hongzhe to their homes. With so many good things, Gu Hongzhe would definitely feel embarrassed to eat them all by himself.

"Hongzhe, why don't you come to my aunt's house for dinner!"

"Why don't you come to my house? My family is small and not noisy, so it's a good place for you to have a good rest."

"Come to my house!!!"

"Come to my house..."

The aunts kept arguing, and Gu Hongzhe watched coldly.

Gu Qianjin felt extremely ashamed and shouted loudly: "Can you guys have some shame? Do you really think that others don't know your little thoughts? If you really want to take care of Hongzhe, why didn't you mention it yesterday? Now that you see something good, you want to take it home, right..."

"I really want to take care of Hongzhe, not because I want his things!"

“Me too, me too”

Gu Qianjin sneered: "Really? You all care about Hongzhe. In that case, from now on, each of you will be responsible for Hongzhe's meals for a day. Since you are not coveting his things, Hongzhe does not have to give you food."

As soon as the voice fell, an aunt immediately said anxiously: "How can this be possible? We don't even have enough food at home..."

Gu Hongzhe said in a cold voice: "Don't bother, aunties. I can take care of myself. Besides, I have been seriously injured and the doctor has said that I will not be able to have sexual intercourse in the future. Aunties, you don't have to introduce me to anyone..."

Everyone: "Huh?"

Gu Qianjin: "It's inhumane? Is that true? Is there no possibility of cure?"

"no"

After this was said, many aunts lost their warm expressions on their faces. They couldn't be humane. If they married their daughters to him, wouldn't they just be widows...
