The delicate educated youth married a rough man, raised a child and became rich by practicing medici

The next morning, before daybreak, the family sent the three people away.

Gu Qian prepared some common medicines for the ox cart that Shen An borrowed.

Li Ping prepared some food, and the three of them left with red eyes.

"Oh, it seems that life in their village is not easy either." Li Ping sighed.

“Even if it’s not easy, you can get through it. It will get better as time goes by.

Just like our village, life was not easy before, but now people have entered the factory, and those who are more diligent can collect more medicinal herbs, which can earn money, and life has become better for the whole village."

"You're right. It's still early. Go back and catch up on your sleep." Li Ping patted Gu Qian.

"I'm not going to sleep anymore. Aren't we going to steam buns today? I'll help you." Gu Qian put on his overalls, ready to show off his skills.

"Okay, help me." Li Ping happily started to get busy. She welcomed her daughter-in-law's help as long as it was not about cooking.

Fried spare ribs, fried dumplings, and all kinds of fried food were not available these days.

But every household can make steamed buns, including white flour buns, steamed corn buns, sorghum flour buns, corn flour buns, and buns of various colors.

What the Shen family made today was steamed buns made of cornmeal mixed with white flour.

It was already afternoon when pots of large, pale yellow steamed buns came out of the pot.

Gu Qian took her two children and sat by the stove, warming themselves by the fire while eating the steamed buns.

With the pure aroma of grain, Gu Qian just ordered one without any dish.

"Eat slowly, there's still some in the pot." Gu Qian said to the two little guys next to him.

"No more eating. We need to save our stomach for dinner." The two little guys said in unison.

Okay, that’s a good idea.

The little guy doesn’t know what hunger and fullness are, and he eats too much accidentally, so Gu Qian often controls the meals of these two people.

Now that they had eaten, I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to give them food at night, so I stopped eating.

Today’s meal is definitely not as good as yesterday’s. The meat and other things have to be saved for New Year’s Day. There is just one more steamed bun.

When the family was enjoying their meal, the door was pushed open.

"Ah, Daddy..." Zhizhi turned into a small trumpet and rushed towards the door cheering.

Xiaoyu also looked towards the door longingly.

After not seeing him for a while, Xiaoyu could no longer remember Shen Ci clearly, but when she heard Zhizhi calling her dad, she knew that he was her uncle.

"Go quickly, let your uncle hold you." Gu Qian pushed the little guy.

Although Shen Ci had one arm in a sling, it did not prevent him from holding the child.

"Why are you back now? Why don't you call home so that they can pick you up?" Li Ping looked at Shen Ci who was covered in snow and went over to pat him with heartache.

"Brother, come in and have dinner quickly. We have just started." Shen Yue looked at Shen Ci with heartache. She didn't go last time. She only knew that Shen Ci was injured, but she didn't know how serious the injury was.

Gu Qian knew at a glance that this man was more seriously injured than the last time they left. Last time, his arm was dislocated, and he was not even in a sling when they left that day.

"Eat, eat, and talk while eating." Gu Qian was busy serving the rice.

The whole family sat together, laughing even happier than before.

Gu Qian quietly felt Shen Ci's pulse. Fortunately, everything was fine except his arm.

Gu Qian brought a steamed bun to Shen Ci and said, "Eat it. I'll change your medicine after you're full."

"Okay." Shen Ci nodded.

"Why did you take so many days to come back? Did something happen?" Li Ping asked worriedly.

"It's okay, Mom. I just had to deal with a small matter and was delayed for a while."

"Well, okay, I won't ask anymore. I won't worry about you if you come back well. By the way, can you spend the New Year at home this time?"

"can."

Hearing Shen Ci's words, the old couple was immediately overjoyed. "It's been six or seven years since our family celebrated the New Year together. It's great to be together again this year."

"Mom and Dad, stop being busy right now and eat first. The village will clean the pond tomorrow morning, and there will be plenty of good things to treat your son then." Gu Qian watched the two elders eat a few bites of food and then get up to rummage through things. He didn't know what they were busy with, so he quickly stopped them.

"Yes, yes, yes." The two sat down again.

There is no way to talk about what happened to Shen Ci, but there is a lot to say about the changes in the village, and the whole family talked about it lively.

At night, Zhizhi was framed by the two old people and forced to sleep in their room.

The person Gu Qian originally used to act as a middleman is gone.

Looking at Shen Ci sitting on the chair.

What should I do? The man is injured right now, and Gu Qian is really afraid that I can take advantage of him at night.

"Let's take a shower and go to bed. This damn weather is too cold." Gu Qian complained and packed up to wash up.

A 1.5-meter bed with two adults squeezed in is not as comfortable as sleeping alone with a small heater.

However, men have higher body temperatures than women. Before going to bed, Gu Qian thought that Shen Ci was an injured person and she wanted to stay away from him.

In the middle of the night, Shen Ci was kicked awake.

Without opening my eyes, I could feel someone pulling at me.

The only part of his body that was not restrained was the injured hand.

Shen Ci moved, and Gu Qian held on tighter.

Shen Ci had no choice but to hug the person in his arms and continue to sleep.

Gu Qian just felt that he slept better than ever before. In the past, his feet would sometimes not be warm enough at night.

Tonight my feet felt like there was a heat source, making them feel numb and tingling.

But when she opened her eyes, she met Shen Ci's face, and Gu Qian could even see his eyelashes.

Their feet were even resting on each other's legs, no wonder they felt warm all night.

I was almost climbing on top of someone else.

It's so embarrassing.

But she has a really good figure.

Gu Qian wanted to step back, but there was a chill behind him.

Suddenly everyone froze.

She decisively leaned forward again. They were an old married couple, so it wouldn't be a big deal if she took advantage of him. They were both wearing autumn clothes anyway.

Gu Qiankao felt at ease.

Shen Ci had already noticed Gu Qian's movements and wanted to open his eyes, but the person in his arms moved closer.

"Wife, it's dawn." Shen Ci had no choice but to open his eyes.

"Yeah, it's daybreak and it's so cold." Gu Qian huddled deeper into the quilt again.

Shen Ci, who was about to say that it was time to get up, immediately shut his mouth.

There is nothing to do today, so just lie down and rest.

The reason he was granted leave was to come back and recuperate.

Gu Qian didn't expect that Shen Ci would continue to lie down. Shouldn't this person have a good schedule and get up on time?

Gu Qian looked at it with a puzzled look.

As a result, the other party didn't understand Gu Qian's eyes at all.

"Go to bed, it's still early. You don't have to go to work today and there's not much work to do." Shen Ci patted Gu Qian.

Gu Qian almost jumped sideways, his legs and feet retracted, and he immediately felt something hit him.

Sure enough, someone's expression changed.

……

"I'm up. You sleep a little longer. I'll get up and see if there's anything I can help you with." If Shen Ci said a dirty word at this moment, his face would definitely turn red.

But Gu Qian hadn't trained to that level yet. When she realized her leg had hit something, she could only get up as fast as she could.

Gu Qian, who had been sleeping in basically the entire winter, got up on his own initiative today.
