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

Gu Zhan washed the dishes very quickly, and soon the kitchen was tidy.

He looked around the kitchen and saw that the large water tank in the kitchen was empty, so he simply picked up the bucket on the ground and went out to fetch water.

The village well is about a hundred meters away from the Gu family. It is not far actually, but carrying water is still a bit difficult for Liu Xiaoxi, a petite young woman.

Gu Zhan remembered that in his previous life, Liu Xiaoxi was the one who did the strenuous work of fetching water.

His parents died early, and his father was not Zhao Dani's biological son. He did not have a good life in the Gu family. In addition, he was instigated intentionally or unintentionally by his second aunt. He always felt that Liu Xiaoxi looked down on him from the bottom of her heart.

When I was young, I was already feeling inferior and sensitive because my parents died early and I was left alone. I valued face more than anything else.

Moreover, for a long time afterwards, he spoke coldly to Liu Xiaoxi, sometimes preaching, sometimes scolding and swearing at the worst.

Seeing that he didn't care about Liu Xiaoxi, the other members of the Gu family found ways to bully her.

Liu Xiaoxi, this silly girl, has never resisted the unfair treatment she received in the Gu family because of her unconditional tolerance towards the Gu family.

Looking at his wife's fair cheeks, which were not yellowed or dry after the hardships she had experienced in her previous life, Gu Zhan quietly told himself that he would never let this woman suffer any grievances again in this life.

Liu Xiaoxi saw Gu Zhan walking out with the bucket on his shoulder and hurried forward to stop him: "You're still not feeling well, let me go."

The cheerful voice was like the sound of nature, washing away Gu Zhan's depressed mood that had lasted for decades.

Gu Zhan smiled and stretched out a hand. After a moment's hesitation, he stroked the top of Liu Xiaoxi's head. "I'm a grown man, I'm not that delicate. Go back to your room and wait. I'll be back soon."

Liu Xiaoxi wanted to say something, but when she met Gu Zhan's eyes that refused to be rejected, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

"Okay, then come back soon."

"Well, go back to the house and rest, and then we'll go to work together in the afternoon."

Looking at Gu Zhan's thin back as he walked away, Liu Xiaoxi was full of doubts.

What happened to Gu Zhan today? He was so abnormal. Especially towards me, he was usually cold and impatient, but today he suddenly turned out to be gentle and considerate.

Liu Xiaoxi felt very nervous. If Gu Zhan could always be like he was today, protecting her in front of the Gu family and being considerate of her hard work, then all her efforts would be worth it.

But what if Gu Zhan heard some rumors and became so weird again, and turned back to his old self tomorrow, what should I do then?

Liu Xiaoxi had to consider this problem.

Liu Xiaoxi was thinking about all sorts of things when suddenly the old wooden door creaked and Gu Zhan pushed the door open and walked in.

"You...you're back so soon?" Liu Xiaoxi jumped down from the edge of the kang, stood on the ground, tugged at her clothes with both hands, and looked at Gu Zhan with her big eyes nervously.

Seeing his wife so nervous and helpless, Gu Zhan felt a pang in his heart. He wondered how much grievance he had caused her to suffer in this family that made her so cautious now.

Gu Zhan strode up to Liu Xiaoxi, stretched out his long arms, pulled her into his arms, and hugged her tightly.

"I'm sorry...wife, I've wronged you."

A line of hot tears could not help but flow out.

Liu Xiaoxi's mind went blank and he didn't know where to put his hands.

Once the first apology is said, the rest becomes much easier: “I’m sorry. I won’t do that again.”

Liu Xiaoxi hesitated for a moment, then gently hugged Gu Zhan's waist with both hands.

After a while, Gu Zhan let the man go.

Liu Xiaoxi's face was already red, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at Gu Zhan's face.

Since they got married, she had never seen Gu Zhan express his emotions so openly. Today, Gu Zhan suddenly became so... open, which made it really difficult for her to adapt.

"Gu Zhan, did you... hear something again?" Liu Xiaoxi couldn't help but ask the doubts in her heart.

When she asked this question, she subconsciously looked up and stared at Gu Zhan's expression.

"At worst, they'll just make some sarcastic remarks," Liu Xiaoxi thought.

Gu Zhan gently pulled her to sit on the kang and stroked Liu Xiaoxi's furry head: "I was ignorant before, and I thought that as long as I worked hard in this family and didn't fight or compete, they would treat me better.

But now I realize I was wrong. They are a group of people who are always greedy. As long as I am still in this family, they will do everything they can to bully and suppress me."

This was the first time Liu Xiaoxi heard Gu Zhan's evaluation of the Gu family, and it was also the first time Gu Zhan expressed his dissatisfaction with the Gu family.

She suddenly remembered that when she saw Gu Zhan in the village before, he was always wearing clothes that were ridiculously short and even tattered, and he was always silent.

Yes, how can a child whose parents died early have a good life if he lives in a family where even his grandmother is not a relative?

Liu Xiaoxi felt a little sad: "You still have me."

"Yes, I know. Wife, believe me, I will work hard to make you live a good life."

"I believe you, Gu Zhan. I always believe in you."

When it was time to go to work in the afternoon, Gu Zhan and Liu Xiaoxi went out together. The yard was quiet and no one else was seen.

Liu Xiaoxi glanced inside the straw shed where the farm tools were usually stored, and saw that the farm tools were empty. Only then did he realize that they had already left. Liu Xiaoxi silently took out the tools for himself and Gu Zhan.

"They're gone."

In the past, Gu Zhan would be in a very bad mood in this situation.

"Well, I know. Let's go." Gu Zhan smiled and took the farm tools from Liu Xiaoxi.

"It's just right that our ears are clear."

Gu Zhan had heard the noise outside from inside the house and knew that they had already left.

Gu Zhan was reborn and encountered the Gu family's childish behavior again, but he no longer felt anything. If it were in his previous life, he would inevitably feel lonely and excluded.

But now, in his opinion, this kind of thing has no impact on him. In fact, he thinks that the current situation is good enough and they don't bother each other.

It would be great if we could separate as soon as possible.

From the moment he saw these people's faces again at the dinner table at noon, separation of the family was already on his agenda in his mind.

"I didn't go to work this morning. Did the captain say anything?"

"It's okay. You had a fever this morning, so I've already asked for leave for you. It just rained the day before yesterday, and we've been planting corn these past few days. The team has enough manpower to handle it."

Gu Zhan felt a little relieved. It was so long ago that he really couldn't remember what he was doing at this time in his previous life.

If it was planting corn, it would be a piece of cake. After all, I had done a lot of farm work before going to college in my previous life. Later, when I was working, I was also engaged in agricultural research and knew agricultural production very well.
