Rebirth 80: Beautiful Hot Wife in Charge

"You said, as long as I can help, I will definitely not refuse." Gu Chengzhou nodded.

"Do you have a flashlight? I'd like to borrow it."

Xue Xiaozhu thought that once it got dark, he would go to the fields to try his luck.

If you are lucky, you can catch a lot of eels and loaches.

Even if you are unlucky, you can still pick up some snails to eat. As long as you are willing to work hard, you will get something.

"Yes, I'll go get it for you in the house." Hearing that she wanted a flashlight, Gu Chengzhou agreed.

He went into the house, took out the flashlight, tested it to make sure it worked, and then handed it over.

Xue Xiaozhu took the flashlight and thanked him with bright eyes: "Comrade Gu, thank you."

"You are such a good person." She was not being nice, this was her sincere thought.

Seeing her happy expression, Gu Chengzhou curled his lips slightly and said, "Be careful when you go back."

He couldn't send the people back to the village, as Gu Chengzhou was afraid that there would be more rumors about the two of them.

Xue Xiaozhu put the flashlight in her arms and nodded with a smile: "Okay, Auntie, I'm going back."

The old lady sitting on the small stool quickly stood up and waved when she heard that she was going back.

After everyone left, the old lady glared at her son and said, "Are you really not going to the blind date tomorrow?"

"I finally came back, but you don't even like girls. Do you want to be single forever?"

As she spoke, she took out a piece of paper from her pocket with the girls' names written on it.

When her son finally came back from vacation, the old lady wanted him to go on a blind date.

The names on the paper were all single girls nearby, and it wouldn't take much time to meet them all.

"No, I don't have time." Seeing the old lady bring up the old topic again, Gu Chengzhou still insisted on not going on a blind date.

He has a lot of things to do recently. Although the army has approved his leave, he may not be able to stay here for long.

"No, no, if a nice girl doesn't want to date you, then do you want to go on a blind date with a sow?" The old lady cursed angrily.

Gu Chengzhou nodded indifferently: "That's fine, our pigs are pretty white and fat."

Seeing her son nodding, the old lady was so angry that she threw the paper with the girl's name on it at her son's face.

This stubborn thing is really infuriating!

Xue Xiaozhu borrowed a flashlight and went home. As soon as he entered the door, he heard Luo Xiufen sighing again.

"Mom, are you not full?" As he said this, he handed over the sweet potato.

Instead of having the energy to sigh, you might as well do something more.

Luo Xiufen knew that her youngest daughter didn't like to hear about the old house, so she opened her mouth but didn't mention it.

"Who gave it to me?" Looking at the sweet potatoes in the bowl, Luo Xiufen couldn't bear to eat it.

You can't finish today's meal and then not eat tomorrow. You can save this bowl of sweet potatoes for tomorrow morning.

"Uncle Lishui gave it to them. Didn't I bring them a bowl of snails?" Xue Xiaozhu prepared the food.

The eldest sister Xue Xiaotao looked at the flashlight in her younger sister's hand and took it to use it out of curiosity.

As soon as you turn it on, light comes out. This thing works better than a kerosene lamp.

Not every household has a flashlight. You need to use an industrial ticket to buy it.

This is a precious thing. Xue Xiaotao has never used it in her life.

"Sister, where did you borrow this?" Xue Xiaotao looked at the light for a while and quickly closed it.

I heard that there are two batteries in it, so we can't waste electricity.

"I borrowed it from Comrade Gu Chengchuan. Sister, let's take the bucket. We have to go catch eels tonight."

Xue Xiaozhu washed the bucket he had just used and put the borrowed fire tongs into the bucket.

Seeing her two daughters busy catching eels in the evening, Luo Xiufen felt a little worried.

"Xiaozhu, isn't it too dangerous to go out and catch eels at night?" Accidents are more likely to happen at night.

Xue Xiaozhu is not a reckless woman. If she goes out at night, she must bring some personal weapons with her.

If something really happens, you can escape at the first moment.

"Mom, don't worry. There are plenty of people in the brigade who go to pick snails at night."

Nowadays, everyone is short of food, and many people try every possible way to get food.

What’s the taste of eating boiled cabbage, beans and eggplant every day? You have to eat some meat.

As soon as it gets dark, the village becomes very quiet and the frogs in the fields begin to croak.

There was no kerosene lamp at home, so Xue Xiaozhu turned on the flashlight and took the things with him.

Xue Xiaozhu was afraid that Luo Xiufen would be scared being alone at home, so she simply took her along.

"Xiaozhu, are there any snakes in the fields?" Luo Xiufen is afraid of leeches and snakes.

Every time she went to the paddy fields, she felt like leeches were sucking blood from her calves.

"Mom, don't be afraid. Most of the snakes in the fields are water snakes and are not poisonous." Xue Xiaozhu was very brave.

She had followed her elders to catch snakes before. For a period of time, her elders believed that eating snakes was very nutritious.

Even water snakes would scare Luo Xiufen, but she forced herself to cheer up when she saw her little daughter's excitement.

Since both daughters are not afraid, she, as a mother, has to be strong too.

Standing on the ridge of the field, Xue Xiaozhu felt the cool breeze caressing his face.

Looking around, there was a little flashlight light in the field. Sure enough, they were not the only ones who wanted to get something in the field.

"There's someone there. Is it from our village?" Luo Xiufen squinted her eyes, but couldn't see clearly at night.

"I don't know. Even if he's not from our village, he's from our team." Xue Xiaozhu rolled up his trouser legs and went to the fields.

She held the tongs in one hand and the flashlight in the other, and began to look for eels and loaches nimbly.

Loaches are not difficult to find. Just look at a small hole and dig down with your fingers, and you can dig out the lively loaches.

There was water in the field, but this did not stop Xue Xiaozhu from wanting to eat meat.

"Got it." After seeing the eel, Xue Xiaozhu quickly clamped the eel's head.

Xue Xiaotao, who was following behind, could dig up a loach after taking a few steps. Her hands were very quick.

Luo Xiufen was not idle either. When she saw snails in the field, she immediately bent down to pick them up and put them in the bucket.

The three of them caught eels and loaches as they walked, and soon they had half a bucket full.

Xue Xiaozhu was very lucky. He could catch a yellow eel every few steps, and it was quite big.

There was a big eel, at least five taels.

"Sister, you are so amazing. How do you hit them all at once?" Xue Xiaotao tried, but she couldn't.

"This requires a skill." Xue Xiaozhu taught her elder sister the skill and caught another eel.

Time always flies when you do what you like.

The sounds from the nearby fields became less and less, and many people who were looking for eels and loaches went back.

Although Xue Xiaozhu didn't know the time, he looked at the moon hanging high in the sky and thought it shouldn't be too late as he had to go to work tomorrow.

"Sister, Mom, let's go back and come back tomorrow night." It would be unsafe to go back any later.

When she heard that they had to go back, Luo Xiufen hurried ashore, but Xue Xiaotao was still a little reluctant to leave.

The three people had just washed their feet in the ditch when they heard the voices of a man and a woman. The woman's voice sounded familiar.
