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

Having experienced his previous life, Gu Zhan has always been a light sleeper in this life.

After Anqing left, he took out the manuscript he had half translated, sat at the eight-immortals table in the room, and began to work seriously.

Gu Zhan wanted to speed up the progress of this batch of books, hand over the manuscripts to Li Yuquan as soon as possible, and then see if there were any other ways to make money.

After all, translating these books was only temporary, and he had to find other ways to make money as soon as possible.

Firstly, his daughter will be born in four or five months, and he must save enough money to cover the child's daily expenses.

To be pessimistic, if his daughter is born in poor health in this life, just like in the previous one, then he must ensure that there is enough money to treat her.

Secondly, he will go to college again in this life. Not only will he go to college himself, but he will also encourage his wife to take the college entrance examination with him so that his wife can see a wider world.

However, there is no rush for this matter. According to the trajectory of the previous life, the college entrance examination should be fully liberalized next year.

With the knowledge accumulated in his previous life, he now has plenty of time to prepare slowly. As for his wife, she may need to be mobilized to read and study as soon as possible.

Liu Xiaoxi was awakened by the aroma of food.

When I opened my eyes, there was a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes on the table, but Gu Zhan was not in the room.

Just as Liu Xiaoxi got off the kang and put on her shoes, Gu Zhan came into the room carrying two bowls of noodles.

He put the bowl on the table and came over to help Liu Xiaoxi. Her five-month pregnant belly was already very obvious, and Gu Zhan was always worried that she would bump into something if she wasn't careful.

He knew that Liu Xiaoxi was very careful in her previous life. Even after quarreling with him, she still carefully protected her belly.

But now he couldn't stop worrying, and as the baby grew older, his anxiety became more severe.

Even Gu Zhan secretly felt that there was something wrong with his current mentality.

"Come, let's eat." Gu Zhan held Liu Xiaoxi's arm.

Liu Xiaoxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I need help even when I walk."

Gu Zhan said in a gentle voice: "The ground is a little slippery because of the water spilled on it."

Liu Xiaoxi looked down at the ground. There was no water or mud on the clean red brick floor. How could it be slippery?

But she also let Gu Zhan hold her until she sat on the stool.

She could also feel that Gu Zhan was overly nervous during this period, as if she was very vulnerable and had to stay in his protection circle at all times.

Gu Zhan also sat on the stool next to Liu Xiaoxi, picked up the plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and put most of it into a small bowl of noodles.

Liu Xiaoxi felt so distressed watching this. This guy really knew how to waste good things.

"Wife, eat!" Gu Zhan placed the bowl in front of Liu Xiaoxi.

Then he naturally put the remaining small portion of the dish into his own bowl.

Liu Xiaoxi took a bite and felt it was very good. The eggs were tender and smooth, and the tomatoes were sour and sweet, with just the right taste.

She gave Gu Zhan a sly look and asked, "I've never seen you make scrambled eggs with tomatoes before. Is this your first time? And it's so delicious."

Gu Zhan smiled and touched Liu Xiaoxi's cheek: "If it tastes good, eat more."

After dinner, Liu Xiaoxi really couldn't stay in the house anymore and pestered Gu Zhan to go out for a walk.

Gu Zhan glanced outside the door. Although there was water on the road, it did not affect walking, so he followed Liu Xiaoxi's advice.

Maybe it’s because they’ve been tense for two consecutive days. Now that the weather has cleared up, almost every household is sitting in front of their doorway basking in the sun and chatting, which can be considered a form of entertainment in leisure time.

The topic of today's conversation is nothing more than the thrilling scene that happened during the rescue patrol duty that night.

Almost every household participated in the patrol that night.

They have all encountered critical situations to a greater or lesser extent, and it is understandable that they bring up those things as topics of conversation when they survive.

When Gu Zhan and Liu Xiaoxi passed by, they undoubtedly sparked a new wave of conversation.

At the gate of Zhao Baogen's house, Wang Yan was chatting with several nearby neighbors.

When the neighbors saw Gu Zhan and his pregnant wife passing by in the distance, they couldn't help but sigh, "Look at Gu Dali's eldest grandson. He's doing really well now. Not only has he built a new house, but the furniture inside is so enviable."

"Well, Gu Dali used to look down on this kid, but now the kid is doing well without him, and he, on the other hand, has to deal with this kind of thing in his old age. Building a house now would cost a lot of money, so what are they going to do?"

The person who was speaking was probably in the mood to watch the fun.

Zhao Dani has been used to being domineering and unreasonable in the village. Now that she is in trouble, many people want to take advantage of her misfortune.

"What can we do? We can just follow the example of those people sent down from the village and live in a cave."

"Given Zhao Dani's personality, I'm afraid she won't dig a hole in the ground. Now it's even a question whether Gu Zhan and his wife can keep their new house."

Wang Yan was most familiar with Gu Zhan and his wife, and felt very sympathetic towards Gu Zhan's experience. At this time, under the subtle moral kidnapping of the crowd, she was also willing to say a few words of support for the young couple.

"She's wishful thinking. She abused the child severely. If the child hadn't been lucky, his grave would probably be overgrown with grass by now.

Besides, when the young couple built their house, Gu Dali didn't contribute a penny or any effort, so now he wants to live in their new house, so he's not embarrassed at all."

"How do you know Gu Dali didn't give any money?" a nosy aunt asked curiously.

Wang Yan snorted, "My wife and the Gu family kid's father were good friends when they were young. After his parents passed away, my wife also cared a lot about the kid. We have a complete record of all these things."

Wang Yan's words were not only to show support for Gu Zhan, but also to improve Zhao Baogen's reputation. Zhao Baogen was the village leader, and a good reputation would ensure a stable next election.

"So that's how it is." The aunt said, "The kid from the Gu family is also pitiful."

At this time, another aunt said: "When the Gu family split up, my wife also heard about it. I heard that the old man of the Gu family gave the couple the half-collapsed woodshed they used to live in, and didn't give them any other belongings.

It was said that in the end, the young man from the Gu family gave in and accepted the responsibility, saying that they would have nothing to do with each other from now on. You know, their yard was built when Gu Zhan's father was still alive.

Everyone suddenly understood. No wonder the young couple was so anxious to build a house.

"Hey, do you think it's possible that Gu Zhan's father appeared in spirit after seeing his son being wronged?"

"That's enough, stop saying that."

Talking about such weird and superstitious things in public is a big taboo, as the authorities are encouraging them to believe in science.

"Okay, okay." The aunt who had just spoken shut up angrily, not daring to say anything more, for fear of being caught by others.
