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

The two walked along the road in the center of the village until they came to the wheat field, and suddenly their attention was attracted by a pool of water in the center of the wheat field.

It’s hard to imagine that food rations for the entire village were piled here just a day ago.

Liu Xiaoxi pointed to the waterway in the center of the wheat field and said, "Fortunately, the villagers had already moved the wheat stacks. Otherwise, they would have been soaked in water and everyone would have been busy today."

Gu Zhan didn't say anything, but just tightened the little hand he was holding.

Zhao Baogen helped clean up the mud at Gu Dali's house. He really couldn't stand Zhao Dani's crying anymore. In addition, they had been busy all night yesterday and until noon today. No one had eaten anything, so it was time to go home for dinner. So he followed everyone and left Gu's house.

When they passed by the wheat field, they saw the accumulated water in the middle of the field and had the same reaction as Liu Xiaoxi. They were just glad that they did not fear the trouble and moved all the wheat stacks over overnight.

Zhao Baogen pointed at the accumulated water in the threshing floor and said, "We've neglected this threshing floor. We've been using it year after year, but we forgot to pave it higher. Now that the water is almost dry, we need to raise the ground a little."

"Indeed, it has been several years. Today this wheat field needs to be renovated." Village accountant Zhou Jiawang also agreed.

As they were discussing, they saw Gu Zhan and his wife walking along the roadside.

"Gu Zhan, are you going to your grandfather's house?" Someone in the wheat field raised his voice.

Gu Zhan followed the sound and looked towards the wheat field, where he saw seven or eight people standing together, talking and laughing. Zhao Baogen was also among the crowd.

Because there were so many people, Gu Zhan didn't plan to stand over and talk to them. He just stood across the street and greeted Zhao Baogen: "Uncle Zhao is here too?"

Zhao Baogen was angry at the person who had just shouted at him, but when he saw Gu Zhan greeting him, he grinned and said, "Hey kid, have you had a good rest?"

"Thanks to Uncle Zhao, I had a good rest."

"Well, you were right again, kid. Look at the water! If I hadn't listened to you, everyone in the production team would be drying wheat right now."

After a while of talking, no one paid any attention to the man who had just spoken.

After realizing that what he said was inappropriate, the man lowered his head with a red face.

After a few pleasantries, before leaving, Zhao Baogen rushed over from across the road and whispered to Gu Zhan, "Your grandfather's house collapsed."

Gu Zhan was stunned for a moment, but then his expression returned to normal. He instantly understood what Zhao Baogen meant, and nodded gratefully, "Thank you, Uncle Zhao, for telling me."

Ever since Zhao Hongmei came to the brigade headquarters crying this morning, he guessed that something must have happened to the Gu family, but he didn't expect that it was the house that collapsed.

After walking through the wheat field, Liu Xiaoxi curiously asked Gu Zhan, "What did the captain say just now?"

"The Gu family's house collapsed due to rain."

"What?" Liu Xiaoxi exclaimed.

Gu Zhan patted Liu Xiaoxi's hand and asked with a smile, "Are you so surprised?"

Liu Xiaoxi was extremely embarrassed and chased after Gu Zhan, asking, "Why did the house collapse?"

"The drainage behind the main house is not good. They probably didn't clear the water channel yesterday."

After thinking it over for a long time, Liu Xiaoxi returned home and asked Gu Zhan, "If their current house collapses, will they come and steal ours?"

Gu Zhan touched the top of Liu Xiaoxi's head with heartache and said firmly: "Don't worry, they won't dare to do that as long as I'm here."

In the afternoon, Gu Zhan went out for about an hour. He did not say what he went to do specifically, and Liu Xiaoxi did not ask.

Liu Xiaoxi's prediction turned out to be correct. Zhao Hongmei came over during dinner.

She stood at the wooden gate and looked around. When she saw Liu Xiaoxi cooking in the kitchen, she shouted at the top of her voice, "Sister-in-law, open the door."

Gu Zhan was helping to light the fire in the kitchen. Liu Xiaoxi glanced at Gu Zhan and, following Gu Zhan's eye signal, ignored the noise outside.

Zhao Hongmei originally thought that based on Liu Xiaoxi's soft and soft personality, he would definitely come over and open the door for her immediately.

But she didn't expect that even after she called out two or three times, no one paid any attention to her.

Seeing the neighbors around sticking their heads out of the door and looking at this side, Zhao Hongmei felt a little proud.

If Liu Xiaoxi was afraid that people in Shanghe Village would talk about her, she would have to open the door for herself quickly.

However, she miscalculated. The people inside continued to cook as usual and no one paid any attention to her.

Zhao Hongmei originally wanted to push the door open and go in, but the wooden fence gate was locked. With so many people watching, it was not easy for her to break in directly.

After a little thought, Zhao Hongmei came up with a plan. She brewed it for a long time and cried at the door, "Sister-in-law, please open the door quickly. I am Hongmei. I know you are in there. Please, sister-in-law."

Zhao Hongmei sounded pitiful, as she came here today with a mission for her mother-in-law.

When she came, the Gu family gave her a death order, telling her not to go back if she couldn't convince Liu Xiaoxi to take them in tonight.

So, now, no matter what, she had to shout open the door of Gu Zhan's house.

Zhao Hongmei's pleading voice made the people who were secretly watching the show feel sad, and they immediately sympathized with Gu Dali and his family.

In this situation, the house has collapsed, everything is gone, and the only grandson is still keeping out of the matter.

They felt that Gu Zhan was somewhat unkind.

However, Liu Xiaoxi, one of the people they were talking about, was now following Gu Zhan's suggestion to make shredded potato noodles for lunch.

Potatoes can basically be regarded as the staple food in Xia County, and almost every household cannot do without potatoes.

Gu Zhan chopped the vegetables skillfully and started to light the fire.

Heat oil in a pan, and when the oil is hot, put the chopped potatoes and green onions into the pan. The hot oil will instantly stir up the aroma of chopped green onions and it will waft out from the window.

The smell made Zhao Hongmei, who hadn't eaten much all day, suddenly have red eyes and lose her mind.

She kept shaking the wooden gate vigorously.

The fence gate was originally fixed on two pieces of wood buried in the gap of the wall. After being soaked by rain all night, the two pieces of wood were not fixed very firmly. Now that Zhao Hongmei shook it, it was already shaky.

Zhao Hongmei still had some rationality. She knew that if she forced her way in now, she would not be able to explain herself even if she had ten mouths.

So she stopped what she was doing and continued to shout inside: "Sister-in-law, I see you, you are in the kitchen. Sister-in-law, please have pity on me and open the door."

The people in the kitchen were still doing their own things, stirring the potatoes with spatulas constantly, and the aroma of shredded potatoes continued to spread around.

Zhao Hongmei only felt that she was dizzy and dazzled by the stimulation of this smell.

"How is it? Try a bite." This was the first time Liu Xiaoxi had fried shredded potatoes since she moved into her new home. It looked delicious. She proudly picked up a piece of potato with chopsticks and handed it to Gu Zhan's mouth.

Gu Zhan opened his mouth with a smile and ate all the shredded potatoes with chopsticks.

"Yeah, the dishes my wife cooks are delicious."

Zhao Hongmei saw clearly through the door as the mouthful of shredded potatoes entered Gu Zhan's mouth, and at that moment she could no longer contain her anger.

He kicked the door, which was not very sturdy to begin with, with great force. Then the wooden fence door and the two pieces of wood used to secure the door fell to the ground with a "crack".

Zhao Hongmei was stunned and broke out in a cold sweat. She originally just wanted to ask Liu Xiaoxi to open the door, so why did it turn out like this?
