Fast-paced era: a warm and leisurely life

A week passes quickly

When Gu Nuanyi saw Gu Hongzhe standing at the door, she was stunned. He's back now? ?

Jinzi and Yinzi glanced at Gu Hongzhe with great disdain. His return meant that they could not enter that special place to play during the day...

Gu Hongzhe did not notice the expressions of Jinzi and Yinzi, and his eyes were fixed on Gu Nuanyi.

Seeing that Gu Nuanyi didn't respond, he sighed and reached out to hug Gu Nuanyi: "Xiao Nuan, I miss you so much!!!"

Gu Nuanyi finally realized that the person had really returned.

He reached out and hugged her back: "Now that you're back, is everything going well?"

"It went smoothly. I even bought a lot of local specialties!!!"

Gu Nuanyi looked down at Gu Hongzhe's feet. He had two backpacks when he left, but when he came back, there were four large woven bags next to the backpacks.

"How much did you buy???"

"This time we went to Guangshi, which is a coastal city with a lot of seafood. But fresh seafood is hard to carry, so I bought some dried shrimp, dried fish, shredded squid, etc. Although the dried fish smells fishy, ​​it tastes good. These dried seafood are also durable. I bought a lot to change our taste in winter." As he spoke, he peeled a dried shrimp and handed it to Gu Nuanyi's mouth.

"Hmm, the more I chew this dried shrimp, the more delicious it becomes... Delicious!!" It was hard at first, but it became fragrant and sweet as I chewed it.

Gu Nuanyi looked at the dried shrimps and peeled one herself: "It's just right to eat them during the winter. One can be kept in the mouth and chewed for a long time, but the cheeks will be a little tired after chewing for a long time..."

Gu Hongzhe moved the four large woven bags under his feet into the house: "I'll put all the food you can eat directly here, and I'll take the dried fish to my side!"

"You don't have to give them all to me. You can take some too. If I eat all of this, my jaw muscles will become so big..."

"Okay, then I'll put some on both sides!!!"

Gu Hongzhe did not rest for a moment after returning. He first filled up the firewood room, and then contacted Pan Zhan to deliver 1 ton of coal.

Gu Nuanyi looked at the pile of coal that had formed into a small mountain and realized that the hundred kilograms of coal she had bought last year was just a joke...

Gu Hongzhe walked around the shed with some dissatisfaction: "Tsk, this shed is too small, it can't hold another ton..."

"This 1 ton of coal will be enough for me for a long time. Don't just focus on me. Have you prepared the coal and firewood on your side?"

"I'm ready, don't worry!"

Gu Hongzhe also helped Gu Nuanyi cover the windows with plastic sheets to block the wind, and the preparations before winter were complete.

Then the team started to kill the New Year pigs.

Gu Nuanyi also joined in the fun. Seeing everyone busy at work, she found that she still liked the hustle and bustle. She just didn't like it to be too noisy.

Washing vegetables and chatting with the aunts, Gu Nuanyi is getting more and more adapted to the current life

After eating the pig-killing dish together, they started to divide the meat. This time, Gu Nuanyi bought some lean meat and ribs.

Gu Hongzhe watched Gu Nuanyi carrying the meat and skipping towards home: "Xiao Nuan, if you like lively atmosphere, we can adopt many children in the future, and our home will definitely be lively..."

Gu Nuanyi stopped in her tracks: "Stop!!! I refuse!!! Can you guarantee that every child is a worry-free little angel? I like excitement, not noise. Besides, if we don't have children, then we don't have children. Isn't it good for us to just live in a world of two?"

Gu Hongzhe took Gu Nuanyi's hand: "Okay!!! Just the two of us!!!"

"It's not that I don't like children, but only those who are well-behaved and sensible. If they scream all day long, scratch and bite and lose their temper when they are not satisfied, I... I am really afraid that I can't help but slap them directly." When Gu Nuanyi thought of the naughty children she met in her previous life, she clenched her fists.

Gu Nuanyi took a deep breath, threw the naughty child out of her head and said, "Besides, it's very tiring to take care of a very small child all day. If you adopt the child, you must be responsible. The child will make trouble during the day and cry at night. I feel a little overwhelmed just thinking about it. What's more, I am still a child myself..."

Gu Hongzhe held Gu Nuanyi's hand and patted it: "I'll listen to you!!!"

Thinking of Hu Zi and the others, Gu Nuanyi smiled and said, "Hu Zi and the others are very cute. Last year, they came to wish me a happy new year one by one. It was so lively!!!"

"Really? Then your yard must be very lively."

"They will definitely come again this year. I'm going to buy some more candy. Let's go tomorrow. In a couple of days the supply and marketing cooperative will be too crowded and we won't be able to squeeze in."

"it is good!"

The next day, Gu Nuanyi and Gu Hongzhe rode their bicycles to the commune.

"There are... there are quite a lot of people here!!!" There are already many people buying things in the supply and marketing cooperative.

Gu Hongzhe tilted his head and looked at Gu Nuanyi: "Why don't we go find Pan Zi???"

"No, if I go find Pan Zi, I'll lose the fun of shopping. I want to buy it myself!!!" Gu Nuanyi rolled up her sleeves and rushed in. Relying on her petite figure, she ran in quickly.

The person next to him: "Huh? Something just passed by???"

"Which family is this kid from..."

Gu Hongzhe held his forehead helplessly and followed closely in. However, he was not as comfortable as Gu Nuanyi as he was tall. He didn't know how many times he was bumped by people coming and going.

Gu Nuanyi, who hadn't gone shopping for a long time, looked at the various candies in front of her and waved her hand: "Comrade, please weigh 2 kilograms of each candy for me!!!"

"Little sister, can you eat 2 kilograms of each?"

"During the Chinese New Year, many children will come to visit us. If you eat some sweet candies during the Chinese New Year, the whole year will be sweet!!!"

"Okay! I'll weigh it for you right away. Wait a moment. Do you want some chocolate?"

"Yes, I want 2 jin of each kind, and I want all kinds of preserved fruits too."

The salesperson weighed the items and asked, "What about the cookies and cakes? Do you want any?"

“Those who wait until a few days before the New Year to buy!!!”

Gu Hongzhe finally squeezed over and saw the packaging bags piled up almost all over the glass counter: "You bought so many?"

"There are many children in the team. If you grab a handful and I grab a handful, it will be gone soon. It only happens once a year, so let's have a happy New Year together! Those children are also very good. They usually share some of the fruits they pick with me."

Gu Hongzhe also bought a lot of candies: "Let my little courtyard have some fun this year!"

There was another fair to attend before the New Year. This time, with Gu Hongzhe following closely by her side, no thief dared to reach out to Gu Nuanyi.

The fried noodles stall that they bought last year was still there. Gu Nuanyi quickly pulled Gu Hongzhe over and said, "Brother Azhe, the fried noodles here are delicious! When you don't want to cook, you can just rinse them with hot water and eat them. I didn't buy enough last year."

The aunt who was selling fried noodles said happily: "You know how to eat, girl. The taste of fried noodles is different when the fire is high or low. It tastes good only when it is just right!"

"Auntie, you are a good cook. Please weigh 20 kilograms for me!"

Gu Hongzhe: "Then I want 20 kilograms too"

After buying the fried noodles, Gu Nuanyi led the group to the stall selling fried chestnuts, bought two bamboo tubes, and handed one to Gu Hongzhe: "Let's eat while we go shopping, and buy two roasted sweet potatoes on the way back, perfect!!!"
