Gu Yanli remained expressionless and simply replied, "Nobody!"

"Then how can I buy a new bed?" the man muttered after he left.

The person next to her nudged her and then gestured with their eyes to Gu Yanli's sturdy frame.

The other party didn't quite understand it.

The other person laughed at her, saying, "Silly, it must be because this newlywed couple was too rough with each other that they broke the bed!"

"Can't you see how sturdy his new bed is?"

"Making a scene in bed..." Then the person who asked the question blushed, whispered and laughed with the person next to them, and walked away.

The next day, the news that the newlywed couple had ruined the headboard of their bed on their first night together spread throughout the entire brigade.

However, Wen Tang was unaware of these things.

When Gu Yanli brought the bed home, Lin Jingshen was just collecting the bed sheets in the yard.

It's getting dark, and if the clothes are left outside to dry, they'll get wet from the dew, and all that time will have been wasted.

Before the bed sheet was even folded properly on the rope, he saw his uncle.

Gu Yanli stood in the Gu family courtyard and said to Lin Jingshen over the wall, "Help me carry some things later."

Lin Jingshen immediately lifted his foot, "Coming."

They didn't even bother to put away the bed sheets.

Gu Yanli “…”

“Go to the gate and untie the rope first,” he said, pointing to the cart parked at the gate.

Lin Jingshen nodded happily, "Okay!"

Gu Yanli strode back into the house and saw Wen Tang clinging to the wall like a gecko.

Gu Yanli thought to himself, this is not a good habit. Once the new bed is moved in, it should be placed in a different location.

Of course, this also benefits the development of the night.

Wen Tang had originally stuck it on the wall to listen to see if Lin Jingshen next door was still there. If he wasn't, she could chat with her best friend.

As soon as the sticker was put up, the door was pushed open from the outside.

She turned around and saw Gu Yanli entering. Upon seeing Gu Yanli, Wen Tang felt a little guilty and awkwardly put her hands and feet down, stretching them out. "Just... stretching a bit, just stretching a bit, hehe."

Wen Tang: I'm definitely not a pervert! I don't like eavesdropping, I just... I just wanted to chat with my best friend, really... *cries*

"what!"

Wen Tang stretched out her arms and legs, but because she was so embarrassed, she didn't pay attention to her footing and suddenly missed a step.

Just as she was about to fall off the bed, Gu Yanli caught her in time.

Wen Tang panicked and grabbed his neck with both hands, and then...

Gu Yanli felt the fragrance and warmth on his face and thought: If I die like this, it's not such a tragic way to die.

Although it's not dignified, I... really like it.

Because he liked her, Gu Yanli held her close for a long time before finally letting go.

Wen Tang even suspected that he had suffocated himself.

Putting the person down, looking at the slender figure in front of him, Gu Yanli had only one thought in his mind: appearances can be deceiving.

After releasing the person, Gu Yanli's Adam's apple bobbed several times before he spoke in a hoarse voice, "I've brought the new bed back. I'll have Jing Shen help carry it in later."

Wen Tang immediately gave an OK sign and nodded, "Got it, got it, I'll get ready right away."

As she spoke, she quickly hid the hand that was making the OK sign behind her back, and her expression immediately became reserved. She was busy smoothing her hair and tugging at her clothes.

Gu Yanli wanted to take another look at her gesture, but it was already too late. Fortunately, since the bed was still outside, Gu Yanli didn't look too much. Instead, he stretched out his arm and quickly carried all the bedding to the side.

Then the person went out.

The new bed was brought in and placed in the courtyard. The new bed with the broken leg inside was carried out, and then the sturdy new bed was carried back into the house. Gu Yanli originally wanted to make the bed again, but Wen Tang immediately raised her hand and said, "I'll do it, I'll make it."

Gu Yanli nodded. "Then I'll go collect the bed sheets."

“Mmm,” Wen Tang blushed a little when the bed sheets were mentioned.

Gu Yanli wasn't much better off than her, but Gu Yanli had already turned and left, so she couldn't see him.

Lin Jingshen helped carry the bed and then ran back to collect the sheets.

After the sheets were brought inside, Lin Jingshen gently asked Chi Yue, "Xiao Yue, what would you like to eat for dinner tonight?"

"Porridge, noodles, or rice?"

"I'm fine with anything, I'll eat whatever everyone else eats," Chi Yue said with a smile, her expression gentle and captivating.

She really liked Lin Jingshen, a handsome boy with a gentle temperament, like a top-quality orchid.

It's so clean and tidy, you can almost smell the fragrance just by looking at it.

Looking at her gentle, smiling face, Lin Jingshen couldn't help but blush. He really liked gentle girls like Xiaoyue!

Blushing, Lin Jingshen pointed to the door and said, "Then I'll go ask Mom what she wants to eat."

“Mmm,” Chi Yue nodded gently with a smile, and Lin Jingshen’s face grew even hotter.

Lin Jingshen went to ask Gu Jinfeng what she wanted to eat for dinner, but Gu Jinfeng scolded him, "I'm not eating. If you want to eat, go eat by yourself."

Lin Jingshen looked completely innocent. "You're angry with my grandma, so you're not going to eat?"

Lin Jingshen deliberately brought up a sore spot, making Gu Jinfeng want to kill him. She bent down, picked up a shoe from the bedside, and threw it at him, saying, "Get out of here."

Lin Jingshen quickly stepped aside and closed the door behind him.

The shoe was thrown onto the door panel and landed with a thud.

Gu Jinfeng sat alone in the room, cursing and swearing.

Gu Yanli didn't have the habit of asking people questions. He took the still-wet sheets inside and set them up on a bench to dry, then asked Wen Tang, "How about steaming sweet potatoes and boiling eggs tonight?"

There really wasn't much to eat in this era, but fortunately, the two things Gu Yanli mentioned were things Wen Tang liked to eat, so Wen Tang nodded and said, "Okay."

After saying that, she thought for a moment and added, "Thank you, brother!"

“…No, you’re welcome,” Gu Yanli said, gripping the door panel.

Every time she called him "brother," he wanted to respond, but he was always too shy. This... can be considered progress.

Wen Tang then asked, "Shall I go and help you?"

Gu Yanli declined, "No need, dinner is simple, I can do it myself."

Gu Yanli said he would come by himself, but he saw Lin Jingshen in the kitchen.

Lin Jingshen sat under the stove and asked, "Uncle, shall we have noodles or porridge for dinner?"

Gu Yanli wasn't very good at rolling out noodles, so he said, "Cook some porridge and steam some sweet potatoes."

Lin Jingshen nodded, "Okay, anyway, neither of us knows how to make noodles, and Mom and Grandma definitely can't make them either."

Mentioning this matter also gave Gu Yanli a headache.

His older sister and his mother are incredibly close when they talk about other people; they are the only truly loving mother and daughter in the world. But once they start comparing themselves to others, they immediately turn against each other.

No one's opinion matters.

While saying he was steaming sweet potatoes, Gu Yanli also took a few eggs and put them under the sweet potato steamer to cook together.

When Lin Jingshen saw him holding several eggs so clean and fresh, his eyes widened in surprise. "Uncle, you boiled so many eggs?"

Gu Yanli looked up at him and asked, "Aren't you going to eat?"

"Then... cook one for me too!"

"Hmm, if there's food, shut up."

Lin Jingshen obediently kept his mouth shut.
