Fast-paced era: a warm and leisurely life

On the day of reporting to the machinery factory, Gu Hongzhe got up very early.

After making breakfast, seeing that Gu Nuanyi had not woken up yet, I wrote a note and put it on the table: I am going to work, remember to eat the breakfast in the pot!!

The newly bought courtyard is not far from the machinery factory and can be reached in 15 minutes on foot.

Gu Nuanyi woke up and saw the note on the table. She yawned and came to the space with gold and silver.

As soon as they entered the space, gold and silver started running around happily.

Gu Nuanyi shouted to Jinzi and Yinzi, "You two are playing in there, I'm going out!!!"

"Woof!!!"

Gu Nuanyi flashed out of the space and went to the newspaper office after breakfast.

"Hello, is Director Liu here?"

Female newspaper employee: "Hello, comrade. What can I do for Director Liu?"

Gu Nuanyi took out her translation certificate and the letter of introduction written by President Han and said, "President Han Pengcheng of Qingshan Commune recommended me here."

"Please wait a moment. I will go find Director Liu."

Gu Nuanyi waited for a while, and then saw Director Liu striding over: "Little Gu, right? Old Han told me about you, saying that your translation skills are very good, but you still have to go through the necessary procedures. I have a German manuscript here for you to translate."

"Okay." Gu Nuanyi took the paper and pen, found a table, sat down and started translating.

Half an hour later, Gu Nuanyi stopped writing, checked it, and handed it to Director Liu: "Director Liu, I have finished the translation."

After reading it, Director Liu nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad, I will give you the same treatment as before, 10 yuan per thousand words, and various welfare vouchers are also available. Do you have any questions?"

"Then Director Liu, can I take the books I need back and translate them?"

“That’s fine, but you have to keep it safe!!!”

Gu Nuanyi received three books, registered them, and walked towards the supply and marketing cooperative. She bought some meat and vegetables and prepared to go back to make lunch.

After preparing all the dishes for lunch, Gu Nuanyi broke out in a sweat: "This weather is really getting hotter day by day!!!"

I flashed into the space, took an ice cream, and lay on the recliner to enjoy it comfortably.

Gu Nuanyi took the gold and silver and left the space, thinking that Gu Hongzhe would be back from get off work.

Just after the dishes were cooked, Gu Hongzhe pushed the door open and saw Gu Nuanyi coming out of the kitchen with the dishes in her arms, sweating all over. He quickly stepped forward to take the dishes and said, "There is a canteen in the canteen of the machinery factory. I bought two lunch boxes and brought some food back. I won't cook at noon in the future. Let's eat in the canteen together!!!"

Gu Nuanyi lost her appetite when she saw the bland stir-fried cabbage and minced meat with vermicelli in her lunch box. She already had no appetite due to the hot weather, and now she lost even more appetite when she saw the dishes that had neither color nor fragrance...

Gu Hongzhe was touched by the cute look of Gu Nuanyi wrinkling her nose. He reached out and pinched Gu Nuanyi's nose and said, "The factory gave you meal tickets. It would be a waste if you don't eat. If you don't like it, I'll bring you another dish from the state-owned restaurant when I come back."

Gu Nuanyi shook her head: "Next time I cook, I will just plug in the electric fan. When the weather is hot, I just want to have a simple bowl of cold noodles, mung bean porridge, etc. There is no need to go to a state-owned restaurant. Instead, you should eat quickly and take a rest. Is work okay?"

"It's great, I have a master to guide me!!!"

After a short nap, Gu Hongzhe went back to work.

Gu Nuanyi turned left and right in the house, took out a small shovel from the utility room, and shoveled all the flowers and plants planted in the yard.

Although the flowers and plants in the yard are well tended, there are too many of them. Not only do they look crowded, but they also attract mosquitoes.

It would be better to dig it up and plant some vegetables.

Anyway, I have already bought this small courtyard, so it is up to me to decide what to plant.

Move all the shoveled flowers and plants to a corner, and wait for Gu Hongzhe to come back from get off work and take them out to throw away

Once I started cleaning up, I couldn't stop. Seeing the soil turned into a mess, I took out the hoe and tidied the ground.

After resting for a while and preparing to take a shower, I turned around and saw the old furniture piled in the corner.

"I've done all the work and my clothes are all dirty, so why not just chop up the furniture and then take a rest!!!"

Gu Nuanyi found an axe from the utility room and planned to chop up the old furniture for firewood.

I just finished splitting a shaky desk when I heard a knock on the door.

Gu Nuanyi opened the door holding an axe. It was an unfamiliar aunt: "What's the matter?"

The aunt outside the door saw Gu Nuanyi opening the door with an axe in her hand, and she took a small step back in fear, stuttering unconsciously: "Hello...Hello, I'm your next-door neighbor. I've run out of soy sauce, and I want to borrow some from you."

Gu Nuanyi looked up and down at the aunt outside the door, and said with a smile: "Auntie said this and I remembered it. We just moved in and haven't prepared anything yet. Why don't you lend us some lard, sugar, salt and other seasonings!!! We will return them to you when we buy them!!!"

The aunt outside the door saw that she didn't borrow the soy sauce and was asked to borrow something else. She said unhappily: "You little girl, you don't speak the truth. If you don't have those seasonings at home, how can you cook lunch??? I can smell the meat. I just lent you some soy sauce. Why are you so stingy?"

Gu Nuanyi still looked at her aunt with a smile: "Then my aunt must be generous~~"

Before the aunt could react, she shouted at the outside: "Fellow villagers, if you need anything in the future, please ask this aunt to borrow from you! This aunt is very generous and is especially willing to help you!!!"

When the neighbors heard what Gu Nuanyi said, they all looked up to see who was so generous.

The aunt's face changed when she saw this, and she stretched out her hand to cover Gu Nuanyi's mouth. Gu Nuanyi's eyes dimmed, and the axe in her hand slightly raised. The aunt retracted her hand in fear and muttered softly: "If you don't want to lend it, then don't lend it. Why are you yelling..."

Another auntie from the next door poked her head out and said, "Hey, isn't this Hu Damei? You are such a generous person. I just happened to be out of brown sugar. Can you give me some!!!"

Hu Damei said angrily: "I don't have any at home. If you don't have any brown sugar at home, why don't you go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some!!!"

Gu Nuanyi: "Oh~~ So you also know about the supply and marketing cooperative~~"

Listening to Gu Nuanyi's sarcastic words, Hu Damei was about to raise her finger to point at Gu Nuanyi and was about to scold him, but when she saw the axe in Gu Nuanyi's hand, she had to suppress her anger, rolled her eyes in annoyance, and walked away angrily.

"(ˉ▽￣～) Tsk~~" Gu Nuanyi rolled her eyes and slammed the door shut.

The aunts who had stuck their heads out to watch the fun looked at each other, then they all closed their doors, trying not to laugh.
