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

After receiving the royalties and getting a new batch of books, Gu Zhan finally felt that he had completely finished his work here.

Considering the care Li Yuquan had given him since he came to Jing City and the royalties he had received from him, Gu Zhan invited Li Yuquan to dinner.

Li Yuquan naturally agreed.

So, five people were temporarily scheduled for the lunch party.

Gu Zhan went ahead and ordered food at the state-owned restaurant and paid a deposit before returning to the guesthouse.

Liu Xiaoxi had become a familiar face in the guesthouse these days. As soon as Gu Zhan entered, he saw her chatting happily with several staff members in the lobby.

Liu Xiaoxi was saying something and didn't notice that Gu Zhan was behind her.

The young staff member who was talking to her winked at her desperately, but Liu Xiaoxi didn't understand and was stunned for a moment before continuing, "He's usually a pretty good person, not like you might think."

Gu Zhan felt confused after hearing this. He didn't know what nonsense this girl was talking about. But overall, she was praising him, which was worthy of praise.

"Well, how am I good?"

"what?"

Liu Xiaoxi didn't react and continued to say, "Even at home, I would help..."

Halfway through the words, he suddenly felt something was wrong and realized that it seemed that Gu Zhan had asked this question.

Liu Xiaoxi jumped up from the stool like a frightened deer. She turned around and saw Gu Zhan standing behind her with a smile on his face. She suddenly felt a little guilty, after all, he was talking about him behind his back.

Then he began to recall what he had just said. After thinking about it, it seemed that he was praising Gu Zhan to a few young girls.

She let out a long breath, patted her chest and said, "The sudden sound scared me to death."

Well, I blame myself!

Gu Zhan thought it was cute, and only went upstairs slowly after Liu Xiaoxi ran upstairs.

After walking up the stairs, I saw that the door was half open.

Gu Zhan guessed that the person must be pretending to be a quail at this moment.

Sure enough, after Gu Zhan pushed open the half-open door and went in, he saw Liu Xiaoxi lying on the bed with a quilt covering her head.

Gu Zhan laughed, walked forward, and gently pulled the quilt open a corner, revealing Liu Xiaoxi's slightly flushed face, not sure if it was because of the heat or shyness.

"Wife, what did you just say? I didn't hear it."

Liu Xiaoxi kept silent, her eyes looking at the walls around the room, turning around and around, but she didn't look at Gu Zhan.

"You don't want to tell me? Well, there's a reward for telling me!"

Gu Zhan patiently and kindly persuaded.

Liu Xiaoxi wanted to get Gu Zhan's reward, but didn't want to repeat to Gu Zhan in person the words of praise she had said in front of others. She was a little conflicted for a moment.

Gu Zhan has plenty of time to wait.

Time passed by, and seeing that Gu Zhan showed no sign of giving in, Liu Xiaoxi had no choice but to compromise: "I'm just praising you for being a good family man and helping with the housework at home."

Seeing the other party compromise, Gu Zhan handed all the royalties for today to Liu Xiaoxi as promised: "Wife, this is the translation fee."

Liu Xiaoxi stared coldly at the money in Gu Zhan's hand and didn't dare to take it for a moment.

After a while, she asked in surprise, "Are you going to rob someone?"

Gu Zhan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He solemnly handed the money to Liu Xiaoxi, squeezed her hand holding the money and said, "Don't worry, wife, this is not robbery. You can take it with confidence."

Liu Xiaoxi tremblingly unfolded the money in his hand and counted it twice. It was six hundred and twenty yuan, not a penny wrong.

There are actually six hundred and twenty yuan.

After counting the money he had, excluding the expenses for building the house and the recent period, plus the dowry money given by his parents, he now had almost a thousand yuan in cash, which was something he had never dared to imagine before.

Gu Zhan glanced at the clock in the room. It was already half past eleven. He was hosting a dinner, so there was no reason for him to be late.

"Wife, we're inviting people to dinner today at the state-owned restaurant."

Liu Xiaoxi said, "Is that Director Li? He's helped us so much, he deserves to be treated to a meal."

"My wife is really smart, but there are two other translators."

When Liu Xiaoxi heard that there were two other strangers, his face wrinkled into a bun shape.

Gu Zhan stretched out his index finger and poked Liu Xiao's puffy cheek, and immediately received a roll of the eyes.

Gu Zhan touched his nose and quickly took his people out.

"Hey, do I need to bring money?" Liu Xiaoxi asked

"Yeah, bring it."

"You take it with you. I feel a little nervous carrying so much money."

"It's okay, don't panic. We still have to pay the bill after dinner."

Inside the state-owned restaurant, Gu Zhan and Liu Xiaoxi had just sat down when Liu Weibing ran in, sweating profusely.

Seeing Gu Zhan, he waved and walked over: "I'm not late, am I?"

"No, I just arrived."

Gu Zhan picked up the teapot on the table and poured water for several people. Liu Weibing ran all the way here for fear of being late. He was indeed very thirsty. He finished a cup of tea in one breath. Gu Zhan refilled it for him. Liu Weibing felt quite embarrassed.

Finally catching his breath, Guard Liu looked in surprise at Liu Xiaoxi, who was sitting diagonally across from Gu Zhan, and asked, "Is this your wife?"

"Yeah!" Gu Zhan nodded with a smile.

"They're such a perfect match, hahahaha, I didn't expect you to get married so early!"

"People in rural areas tend to get married early."

Seeing Gu Zhan say so frankly that he was from the countryside, Liu Weibing thought of some people who had transferred their urban household registration to commercial grain. They wanted to talk about the fact that they were from the city every day and were most averse to others saying that they were from the countryside.

He had a relative who was just like that, and he disliked him very much.

Looking at Gu Zhan again today, the difference is immediately apparent.

"Hahaha, seeing your lovely wife in your arms, I'm so envious that I want to get married right now."

Liu Xiaoxi also felt that Liu Weibing was a very humorous person and would sometimes interject a few words. Because she was the only woman at the table, Liu Weibing was also very considerate of Liu Xiaoxi's emotions when speaking, and for a while they had a very pleasant conversation.

When it was almost twelve o'clock, Gu Zhan said to Liu Weibing, "Director Li will be here too."

When Liu Weibing heard this, he immediately felt that he had made the right decision.

It would be a pity if Li Yang didn't come. I missed the opportunity to have close contact with Director Li.

The two of them came to the Agricultural Technology Center to translate documents, but they did not receive as high a salary as Gu Zhan and were not able to get the care of Director Li. The only person they directly contacted was Yu Gang, Director Li's subordinate.

This time, it's an opportunity.

As long as I perform well during this period, when the time comes for the official job assignment, I will have Director Li's praise and will not have to worry about not getting a good job.

After thinking about it, Liu Weibing decided to tell Gu Zhan that Li Yang would not come.

"Comrade Gu Zhan, Comrade Li Yang said he has to finish a manuscript at noon today, so he won't be here."

Gu Zhan's expression remained normal as he smiled and said, "Okay."

In fact, when he invited the two of them to dinner, he had already guessed that Li Yang would not come at all.
