Professor Gu's daily life in the countryside after his rebirth

Gu Zhan quickened his pace and finally broke into a jog.

The woman who was looking around obviously saw Gu Zhan. She jumped up excitedly, waved at Gu Zhan, and then trotted towards him.

When the two met up, Gu Zhan looked at the woman standing in front of him, his heart overflowing with love. He took a step closer with his long legs and hugged her directly in his arms.

I finally felt at ease, and my mood was more comfortable and enjoyable than ever before.

He sniffed the fragrance on Liu Xiaoxi's body deeply before letting her go. He then took her hand and walked towards the Gu family's yard.

"Why are you waiting outside so early in the morning?"

"When did you come back?"

The voices rang out at the same time, and the two people holding hands smiled at each other after realizing it. In the end, ladies were given priority.

"When did you come back?"

"I went to the cowshed last night. You were pregnant, and I was afraid your clothes and shoes wouldn't be clean when you came back, so I stayed at the captain's house. Why are you waiting here so early in the morning?"

"I can't sleep. I can't sleep without you coming back."

The sweet voice entered Gu Zhan's ears, making him almost tremble all over.

This kind of Liu Xiaoxi was something he had never seen in his previous life. In the few memories he had of her, Liu Xiaoxi was silent and hardworking, so much so that when he later searched his mind for memories, all he could remember was this woman's gradually bent back and her silent back as she retreated.

This made him think of a saying that has been regarded as a golden rule by people in later generations: Loving someone is like growing flowers.

Yes, how could someone who didn’t feel his or her love in the previous life, or even someone whose love was always demanded and consumed by him or her, be in such a state?

After realizing this, Gu Zhan now felt that no matter how much he pampered and loved the woman in front of him, it would not be excessive.

"How's things going at home these days?"

"It's okay, it's just the milk. She keeps coming in and out and looking at me, but you know, she's just like that. As long as you ignore her, it'll be fine."

"Well, I'm sorry to have wronged you. Just bear with it for a while. We'll build a house and move out."

"Moving out? Really?"

"Of course it's true."

"But building a house requires money..." Liu Xiaoxi hesitated. Although her parents gave her a dowry when she got married, it was still far from enough to build a house.

"Don't worry about that. I have my own way. I just may need to go to the city."

Hearing Gu Zhan say this, Liu Xiaoxi was surprised: "Why go to the city?"

Gu Zhan briefly told Liu Xiaoxi about the city's recruitment of translation staff to make her feel more at ease.

However, the more Gu Zhan spoke, the more uneasy Liu Xiaoxi felt. The city was hiring staff. If Gu Zhan got such an opportunity, would he return to this impoverished village?

She wasn't sure now.

Deep down, she hopes that Gu Zhan will have a better development, that he can stand out and no longer be bullied by the Gu family. But what should she do once Gu Zhan goes to the city?

In just a few minutes, Liu Xiaoxi had thought about everything.

In the end, no definite answer was found.

When the two entered the house, Gu Jun's wife Zhao Hongmei was already making breakfast in the kitchen.

Hearing the noise outside, Zhao Hongmei looked out from the open window and saw Gu Zhan and Liu Xiaoxi walking into the house. They were holding hands tightly, looking very intimate. Looking at their backs, a sense of envy rose in her heart.

Then she comforted herself, thinking that Gu Zhan was so timid and useless, how could she, Liu Xiaoxi, be any better than herself?

As soon as they entered the house, Liu Xiaoxi poured a cup of hot water from the thermos and put it into Gu Zhan's hand: "Drink some hot water to warm yourself up."

Then, she turned around and went to the other side to start busying herself, sometimes folding the quilt, sometimes folding clothes.

Gu Zhan observed silently for a few seconds and found that there was something wrong with his young wife. He couldn't tell what was wrong.

Thinking back carefully, it seemed that she became unhappy ever since I said I was going to the city.

In this life, Gu Zhan didn't want to create a rift between the two of them because of some insignificant things, so he thought carefully and said, "Wife, what's wrong with you?"

Liu Xiaoxi was feeling very nervous at the moment. She was startled when Gu Zhan suddenly spoke: "Ah? Oh, nothing!"

Gu Zhan put the cup in his hand on the table, stood up, held Liu Xiaoxi in his arms from behind, and gently rested his chin on Liu Xiaoxi's shoulder.

"Wife, if you have anything on your mind, you need to tell me. Only when you tell me can I know, right?"

Liu Xiaoxi remained silent. She was conflicted and didn't know how to start. She didn't want to become a stumbling block in his future, but she was unwilling to let him go. This conflicting feeling made her feel like she had difficulty breathing.

"Wife, it was all my fault before. I made you feel wronged, but I will never let you feel wronged again. So, who made my wife unhappy? Tell me, I made her unhappy!"

Liu Xiaoxi didn't understand what Gu Zhan said at first. She repeated it carefully in her mouth twice before she reacted and was stunned for a moment.

These were actually spoken by someone who was silent more than half a month ago!

Liu Xiaoxi's appearance amused Gu Zhan. He let her go, turned around and walked over to her. He gently tapped her forehead with his right knuckles: "What are you thinking about in your little head all day?"

Liu Xiaoxi screamed in pain on his forehead, then remembered that there were people outside, and immediately raised his hand to cover his mouth.

Gu Zhan couldn't help laughing when he saw her cute look.

"What are you laughing at? Don't laugh."

"Okay, I won't laugh. Tell me why you're unhappy."

In fact, at this point, Gu Zhan had already guessed most of Liu Xiaoxi's thoughts, but what he wanted to do now was to guide Liu Xiaoxi to say what was in her heart, so that she could face herself and express her thoughts and demands.

Liu Xiaoxi looked at Gu Zhan's smiling face. She saw her own shadow in her eyes, and the defensive wall in her heart collapsed in an instant.

After pondering for a while, Liu Xiaoxi finally asked the question she wanted to ask the most: "Are you going to the city and not coming back?"

"what?"

"You went to the city, found a job, and never came back to Shanghe Village?" As he spoke, his voice was already filled with tears.

When Gu Zhan heard this, he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "Why do you think so?"

Liu Xiaoxi raised her head and looked at Gu Zhan with tearful eyes: "Haven't you always wanted to leave here?"

Gu Zhan was silent. At this time in his previous life, there was not a single day when he didn't want to leave here. It seemed that this silly woman had remembered it in her heart.

"That was before. Now, I don't want to leave here at all. Listen carefully, I really don't want to leave at all. If one day I really need to leave here, I will definitely take you with me."

"really?"

"Really, I will never lie to you in this life."

Gu Zhan reached out and gently wiped away the tears from Liu Xiaoxi's face.
