Unable to endure the hardships of rural life, she returned home to arrange a marriage with a militar

In the evening, Shu Yun quickly washed up, changed into her pajamas, and lay down on the bed.

Gu Jun had already taken a shower and was lying in bed.

The dim wall lamp was on, and he was taking apart the haphazardly sewn cloth bag that Shu Yun had made. Seeing Shu Yun return, he asked, "How are you? Are you feeling better?"

Shu Yun: "Much better."

She lay down on the bed, and Gu Jun rolled over and pressed down on top of Shu Yun, startling her. She instinctively pulled the blanket tighter around herself. "I'm not fully recovered yet, you, you don't have to worry."

Gu Jun paused for a moment, then chuckled, "Why am I in such a hurry? I'll get the scissors."

Then Shu Yun watched as Gu Jun walked past her and took a small pair of scissors from the bedside table next to her bed.

Shu Yun blushed at Gu Jun's blatant smile. Annoyed, she snapped, "Don't laugh!" With that, she pulled the blanket over her head and huddled under it.

"Okay, okay, no rush, no rush." ​​Gu Jun was very good-natured.

Shu Yun kicked his little feet in bed, "I'm not in a hurry!"

Gu Jun said, "Come out, aren't you bored?"

Shu Yun's buzzing voice came from under the covers, "It's not stuffy."

Gu Jun shook his head, ignoring Shu Yun, and focused on his needlework.

Shu Yun stayed in bed for a while, then poked her head out. Seeing that Gu Jun ignored her, she couldn't help but kick him again.

Gu Jun stretched out his leg and pressed down on Shu Yun's misbehaving calf, "Stop messing around."

Shu Yun stopped moving. She leaned closer to Gu Jun and shamelessly suggested, "Why don't you embroider a flower in the middle of my backpack? It'll look nicer that way."

Gu Jun glanced at her sideways, "You have quite a few demands. Do you really think I'm an embroiderer?"

Shu Yun smiled ingratiatingly, "How could that be? The capable should do more work."

Gu Jun raised an eyebrow. "I'll give it a try."

Shu Yun patted her chest and said, "Go ahead and try it. It's okay if you break it."

Gu Jun teased, "You're really generous."

Shu Yun replied in a good mood, "That's right, that's right."

Gu Jun was busy, and it was still early before Shu Yun's usual bedtime. She picked up a book to pass the time, and after reading for a while, she remembered the two people from the Political Department who had come during the day, and said to Gu Jun:

"Someone came over today to register my information, saying they'll help me find a job later."

Shu Yun recounted the general situation to Gu Jun, who then said, "If you're interested in working in the publicity department, you can give it a try."

Shu Yun nodded, "Yes, that's what I thought too, but at the time I just said I'd ask, it might not work out."

------------

Shu Yun's stomach was quite uncomfortable for the first two days, but it got much better afterwards. As soon as it got better, she completely revealed her original sleeping posture.

When Gu Jun woke up in the early morning, he found someone nestled in his arms. Looking down, he saw that Shu Yun was snuggled up in his arms, her arms wrapped around his arm and one leg resting on his thigh.

You know, when they slept last night, there was a person's distance between them. Who knew that when they woke up this morning, Gu Jun's position hadn't changed, and Shu Yun automatically rolled into his arms. A fragrant bundle was hidden in his arms, and every breath she took was filled with his scent.

Gu Jun was at the prime of his life, so it was hard for him not to be excited.

He took a few deep breaths and quietly got up to try to move Shu Yun's legs off. But Shu Yun was asleep, and she was quite domineering. She grumbled in dissatisfaction and pressed her legs down even more firmly. Her hands were still tightly wrapped around Gu Jun, and she was lying on top of him without realizing it. Her face was flushed, and she was sleeping innocently and sweetly.

Gu Jun clearly felt a soft mass pressing against his chest, which made him blush. Ironically, the culprit was fast asleep.

Gu Jun said in a low voice, "You just wait."

After Gu Jun got up, Shu Yun didn't sleep for long either, as she was woken up by the crowing of a rooster, which was more punctual than an alarm clock.

The rooster crowed an hour earlier than usual today, forcing Shu Yun to get up despite the annoying noise.

As she brushed her teeth in the yard, she muttered to herself with dissatisfaction, "Is this rooster deliberately trying to bring me bad luck? It crows as soon as I go to sleep, but now that I'm up, it's not crowing anymore. I'll slaughter you and eat you during the New Year sooner or later."

When Shu Yun walked into the yard, she saw Gu Jun hanging out laundry, including his underwear and pajamas that he had just changed out of. She blinked and asked in confusion, "Why did you change your clothes again? You're so clean."

Shu Yun gave a thumbs up, a genuine compliment. Gu Jun didn't say anything, but just gave Shu Yun a long, unsettling look.

Gu Jun didn't stay long because he had morning training. He changed his clothes and left. Before leaving, he asked Shu Yun, "I'm going to the cafeteria to get food later. Is there anything you want to eat?"

Shu Yun shook her head. "Either is fine."

Gu Jun: "Then I'll see it myself."

Shu Yun replied with an "okay".

After finishing breakfast, when she was alone at home, Shu Yun didn't rest. She started cleaning the house, bagging the trash, and throwing it into the designated corner outside the yard.

When she returned, Shu Yun suddenly noticed a black object placed in front of her courtyard gate. It was quite far away, and Shu Yun couldn't make out what it was. She slowed her pace, her sixth sense telling her that it was nothing good.

Sure enough, when she got closer, she was so scared that she almost fell backward. It was rats! One by one, dead black rats were neatly arranged at her doorstep.

Shu Yun was terrified of rats; just looking at them gave her goosebumps. Now, Shu Yun couldn't even go inside her house.

She paced back and forth in the same spot several times, but couldn't bring herself to take a step.

"Oh dear, what happened?"

When Tian Xiufen saw Shu Yun's face covered in red medicine, making her look like a little kitten, pale and teary-eyed, her heart skipped a beat.

"What happened?"

Shu Yun immediately grabbed Tian Xiufen, "There are rats!"

Tian Xiufen was still looking at her face when she first heard the question and didn't react immediately, "A rat?"

Shu Yun pointed forward with trembling hands. Tian Xiufen looked in the direction she was pointing, and wow, she was also startled. Not frightened, but because who was so heartless as to line up dead rats at their doorstep? What grudge could they have committed?

Tian Xiufen comforted her, "Don't worry, they're just dead rats. I'll take them away for you."

Tian Xiufen, being a straightforward person, rolled up her sleeves and was about to catch the mouse with her bare hands when Shu Yun quickly stopped her, saying, "The mouse is too dirty, sister-in-law, use tongs to take it away."

Upon hearing the commotion, Gou Dan immediately handed over some tools, and after a flurry of activity, the entrance to Shu Yun's courtyard was finally clean.

Shu Yun was very grateful. "Thank you so much, sister-in-law. Otherwise, I wouldn't know how I would have gotten in."

Tian Xiufen waved her hand, "Hey, this is nothing. Back in our rural days, there were so many rats. At night, when you opened the kitchen door, all you could see were green eyes."

Shu Yun felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing this, but Tian Xiufen patted her chest and said, "If you see any more rats in the future, just come to me, and I'll catch them all for you."

After saying that, Tian Xiufen carefully looked at Shu Yun's face and said, "Tell your sister-in-law the truth, what happened to the injury on your face? If it was really done by that kid Gu Jun, don't be afraid, your sister-in-law will go with you to find him."

Shu Yun was both amused and exasperated. "No, I accidentally got burned, so I put some mercurochrome on it. Gu Jun didn't bully me."

Tian Xiufen said awkwardly, "That's good."

The two then brought up the dead rat from earlier, saying, "I wonder whose brat did such a terrible thing. You wait, I'll have Gou Dan keep an eye on it."

After thanking Tian Xiufen, Shu Yun still felt disgusted thinking about where the rat had been lying. She carried two buckets of water and washed herself twice at the gate of the courtyard before she felt comfortable.

However, the matter did not end there. In the afternoon, Shu Yun was standing on a chair, drawing rough outlines on the wall with a pencil, when she suddenly heard a cat meowing outside.
