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

Inside the office of Shangchan Brigade of Shanghe Village, Zhao Baogen looked at the young man who had just returned from the city and now came to get a certificate, and he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

"What have you been doing these days? The Municipal Agricultural Bureau called to ask about your basic situation. I thought you made some mistake."

Although Zhao Baogen's words were harsh, they were sincere. Gu Zhan apologized to Zhao Baogen and evaded the main point by telling him that he had earned some money at the Municipal Agricultural Bureau and that they were just conducting a routine background check.

As for what the matter was, Zhao Baogen did not ask in detail, and Gu Zhan did not explain in detail. He was just relieved to know that Gu Zhan did not go out to break the law.

"Uncle, I came to see you today. In addition to getting a certificate to go to the county, I also want to discuss the homestead I mentioned to you before. I hope you can approve it."

"You kid, why don't you go to work properly and go to the county?"

"I want to take Xiaoxi to the county for an examination. And uncle, I have already thought about the homestead issue, so you don't need to persuade me anymore."

"Good boy, if you have ambition, I'll give it to you right now. The homestead issue will have a result in two or three days."

"Thank you, uncle!"

Gu Zhan took the letter of introduction and hurried home, as he would miss the opportunity if he was any later.

There was no car going the same way to the county town, so after some trouble, the two of them first took an animal-drawn cart to the town, and then took a passing bus from the town to the county town. It was already past four in the afternoon.

It was obviously too late to go to the hospital at this time, so Gu Zhan was not in a hurry and found the only guesthouse in the county to stay in.

The guesthouses at that time were all state-owned and basically only provided necessary items, and were far less luxurious than those in later generations.

Two dollars and fifty cents a night in the guesthouse was a huge sum of money. When Gu Zhan paid, Liu Xiaoxi frowned with heartache.

Besides being amused, Gu Zhan also felt distressed.

After getting the key and entering the room, Gu Zhan was busy putting his things away while Liu Xiaoxi looked around curiously.

This was her first time in the county town. She found many things new and interesting. She touched the sheets and curtains, looked in the mirror, and was very busy.

Gu Zhan packed up his things and wanted to turn around to ask her if she was tired. However, he saw that she was not tired at all. She looked here and touched there, as if she was enjoying herself.

"Wife, come and have a rest. We'll go out for dinner later."

When Liu Xiaoxi heard the voice, she turned around and saw Gu Zhan staring at her with such tender eyes that tears could almost come out of his eyes.

For a moment she felt her heart beating a little faster: "Ah... I'm not tired, let me take a look at this house first."

Then he walked to the window in an attempt to cover up his mistake, looked at the scenery outside through the window, and ignored the people behind him.

Gu Zhan looked at her cute appearance with amusement, stood up and walked to the bed, picked her up and carried her to the bed.

"what!"

Liu Xiaoxi suddenly lost her balance and screamed, subconsciously hugging Gu Zhan's neck with both hands.

Gu Zhan laughed with joy, and the vibration of his chest was accurately transmitted to Liu Xiaoxi's eardrum. When she realized where she was, she felt her eardrum vibrating, followed by the nerves throughout her body and her heart.

"No...don't laugh."

Liu Xiaoxi said in a coquettish tone, and to Gu Zhan, this sentence sounded even more like coquettishness.

He also wanted to tease Liu Xiaoxi, imitating the frivolous tone in the movie: "What if I insist on laughing?"

"Ah?" Liu Xiaoxi looked up at Gu Zhan, only seeing his firm chin. "Then...you should smile."

Liu Xiaoxi simply gave up struggling and buried herself in Gu Zhan's arms, not moving a muscle.

Gu Zhan patted it lightly a few times, but it didn't move.

"Are you tired? If not, let's go out for dinner."

Hearing that they were going out, Liu Xiaoxi hurriedly pulled herself out of Gu Zhan's arms, turned over and sat on the bed on the other side: "Let's go out."

Seeing her eyes full of expectation and wet as a deer's, Gu Zhan couldn't bear to tease her, so he locked the door and took people out.

"Is it okay to leave our things in there?"

“It’s okay, the house is locked.

"What kind of fabric are the sheets on their beds made of? They feel so comfortable."

"I don't know. We can ask later."

"okay."

The staff at the guesthouse overheard the entire conversation between the two. They felt that although the man was poorly dressed, he had a distinguished demeanor. They whispered to their colleague, "He's a man who loves his wife dearly."

The county town was much more prosperous than the town, with more pedestrians on the streets. People's clothing was noticeably neater and more distinctive than in the town. Liu Xiaoxi glanced at his yellowed, worn shirt and tugged at the collar of his shirt sheepishly.

Gu Zhan saw it but didn't say anything.

Originally, he persuaded Liu Xiaoxi to wear the new shirt he bought in the city before going out, but the girl insisted that the color looked too bright and she felt embarrassed.

Now I see that most people in the county town dress like this, and I start to envy them.

Taking her to experience new things, this is only the first time, there will be many times in the future, Gu Zhan thought.

Following the path he remembered, Gu Zhan took Liu Xiaoxi to the state-owned hotel.

It was still a little early for dinner time, and there were only a few people sitting here and there in the restaurant.

Gu Zhan took Liu Xiaoxi to stand in front of the menu on the wall and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Liu Xiaoxi looked at the menu carefully, but frowned when she saw the prices. She whispered in Gu Zhan's ear, "Let's go back. The food here is so expensive. Didn't we bring bread when we went out? It's enough for us. Why spend this money?"

"It's okay. It won't cost much."

Liu Xiaoxi frowned and said with a distressed look that the price of leeks and eggs was in the middle.

Gu Zhan smiled without saying anything, picked a table and sat down. When the waiter came to take the order, in addition to the one Liu Xiaoxi ordered, Gu Zhan also added a dish of braised pork, which cost a total of two dollars.

Seeing Gu Zhan announce the names of the dishes, Liu Xiaoxi became anxious and pulled Gu Zhan's clothes several times under the table with her little hands. Gu Zhan ignored her and talked to the waiter as usual.

After waiting for the waiter to leave, Liu Xiaoxi came to Gu Zhan and said, "Why order so many dishes? Not only are they expensive, but we can't finish them."

"I don't feel bad about spending money on my wife. Besides, my daughter needs to be well nourished."

As soon as Gu Zhan mentioned the child, the heartache in Liu Xiaoxi's heart disappeared instantly.

Looking at Liu Xiaoxi's expression, Gu Zhan knew that he had hit the nail on the head. This really made him figure out his wife's weakness. As long as he proposed something that was good for the child, she would usually accept it.

Gu Zhan felt a little jealous of this unborn child.
