Best friends transmigrate into a book! They marry a high-ranking official! If you run, I run too!

Not only him, but even the usually taciturn Lin Liansheng breathed a sigh of relief.

The Gu and Lin families have been eating and drinking together for so many years that they are no longer distinguished by who is who. So if the Gu family's kitchen burns down, it will be no different from burning down his own kitchen for Lin Liansheng.

They breathed a sigh of relief, and Wen Tang was finally able to relax!

Gu Jinfeng chased Zhong Meixian into the kitchen. As soon as they entered, Gu Jinfeng asked, "Mother, you weren't finished speaking, were you?"

Zhong Meixian remained silent.

Gu Jinfeng pressed on, asking, "Why did you stop talking?"

Zhong Meixian was so angry she wanted to hit her with the ladle in her hand. "Speak, speak, what is there to say?"

"You want me to be old and have no one to take care of me, right?"

As Zhong Meixian spoke, she kept glancing towards the kitchen door. Seeing that no one was coming, she couldn't help but say, "After lunch, you all went to the fields, and she told me that she and Xiaoyue were going to dig for wild vegetables."

“I told her it wasn’t necessary, and that I would give her radishes to eat, but she gave me a bunch of nonsense, saying that radishes can be pickled and eaten for a long time, and that stir-frying radishes uses too much oil.”

"I thought she was such a good girl, but in the end..."

Zhong Meixian held a ladle in her hand, gesturing with a pained expression, "That basket was full of candy, melon seeds, and I saw there were even cookies!"

"Tell me, isn't this just incredibly tempting?" Zhong Meixian said excitedly, almost fainting from anger.

Fortunately, Gu Jinfeng cooperated with her, "Buying so many things?"

"This looks so delicious!"

"Then you didn't mention her?"

Zhong Meixian "..."

"Would I dare say that about her?"

"She brought it back saying she bought it for me to eat."

“Then you can eat it. If you don’t want to eat it, keep it in your room. It’s better than letting her eat it!” Gu Jinfeng said.

Zhong Meixian rolled her eyes and then recounted what had happened.

Gu Jinfeng "..."

"Mother, you know what, these two new brides are shameless."

"It's not just thick, it's thicker than a city wall."

But even though I'm talking about it, I still have to cook.

Gu Jinfeng saved some of the pheasant soup from lunch, added water, cooked noodles, and added scallions in the evening for dinner.

Lin Jingshen immediately recognized the aroma in the broth: "Mom, this noodle soup smells amazing today. It's not just plain water, is it?"

"No, your uncle caught a pheasant this morning."

"I knew it smelled so good, it's much better than plain noodles," Lin Jingshen said happily as he ate, never thinking about why he hadn't saved the pheasant from lunch to eat with him when he got back that evening.

He didn't mention it, and everyone looked at him without saying a word, just eating in silence.

After the meal, everyone returned to their rooms.

Lying in bed, Wen Tang had a change of heart and asked Gu Yanli, "You spent so much money on food today, don't you feel bad about it?"

Gu Yanli shook his head as he took off his clothes.

Wen Tang smiled and said, "Brother, you're so kind."

“Hmm, I have something better,” Gu Yanli said, then rolled over and pinned the man beneath him.

"Um, can't I stay the night?"

Although the meat was delicious, Wen Tang found that she didn't love it as much after eating it several times a day.

“Well, you need to be moderate,” Wen Tang told Gu Yanli.

Gu Yanli held her hand. "Yes, I have five more days off."

"So, you should refrain from exercising after these five days!"

"Or, why don't you come with me to join the army?"

I've never had the chance to say these things before, but now I finally have the opportunity.

"How many people can you bring with you when you accompany the army?" This was Wen Tang's first reaction.

"Ok?"

“As long as they are family, it doesn’t matter how many people,” Gu Yanli replied.

"Can we bring Yueyue along too?" Wen Tang felt that she couldn't forget her best friend no matter where she went, after all, she and Chi Yue had a friendship that was as deep as mountains and as enduring as heaven and earth.

Gu Yanli asked in the darkness, "Have you considered Jing Shen's feelings when you said that?"

"Oh, right, we also need to consider his feelings. Can we bring him along too?"

“He’s not young anymore, I don’t want to raise such an old nephew,” Gu Yanli told Wen Tang.

Then Wen Tang asked him, "Can I not go?"

Wen Tang thought, now that this person is gone, wouldn't she be able to sleep with Chi Yue openly and legitimately?

She hasn't slept with Chi Yue for several days.

"Then we'll wait until these five days are over before we start to exercise restraint."

Perhaps because Wen Tang didn't want to go with the army, Gu Yanli resumed the frequency of three times a day.

Tell me, what kind of good person could withstand such treatment?

So, Wen Tang still couldn't get up the next morning!

On the morning she couldn't get up, Gu Yanli took a lot of things with him and went out. Before leaving, he didn't forget to tell Zhong Meixian, "Return the things to the person."

Zhong Meixian was quite annoyed with him, "I know, I know, I have a sweet tooth and I love eating those things."

Gu Yanli simply reminded her without arguing with her, then took his things and went out.

He first set up several traps in the woods, then went to a lake some distance from Xiang Xing's team. There were many reeds by the lake. He sat down in the reeds, and no one would notice him unless he got close. He then sat there and started fishing.

After breakfast, Zhong Meixian didn't want to get angry at home seeing her daughter-in-law who hadn't gotten up yet, so she picked up her things and went out.

She went straight to the educated youth settlement.

When we arrived, Luo Tian and Luo Qiao hadn't left yet!

Luo Qiao was struggling with what clothes and shoes to wear.

Luo Tian helped her choose shoes that were durable and also found her a pair of cloth shoes. "Wear cloth shoes. It won't be a big deal if they get dirty."

Luo Qiao changed into the clothes and shoes she had prepared, but then she hesitated. She didn't have as fair skin as Luo Tian; her skin was a bit yellowish. Even though her features weren't ugly, she needed to match her clothes well, otherwise she would look very dowdy.

So when Luo Qiao puts on cloth shoes and dark-colored clothes, she doesn't want to go out.

She looked in the mirror and thought she looked terrible.

She looked down at herself and thought to herself, "What am I dressed like? I look like a country bumpkin!"

She found it very difficult to accept.

So she hesitated, wondering, "Won't it be too ugly?"

"Won't people laugh at me?" she worried.

Luo Tian immediately shook her head. "No, everyone here is dressed similarly. You're already considered lucky. Most people wear patched clothes when they go out to work."

“They would never wear new clothes like ours. If they can bring out a piece of clothing without patches when visiting relatives, that’s already considered very good.”

Luo Qiao sighed upon hearing this. She had almost forgotten that it was 72, and being rustic was the norm.

She tugged at her clothes, nodded dejectedly, and said, "Alright, let's go!"

The two had just stepped out when they ran into Zhong Meixian, who was carrying some things and had come looking for them.

A former educated youth was leading Zhong Meixian toward them when she saw Luo Tian coming out and called out, "Educated Youth Luo, someone's looking for you." Then she turned and left.

Luo Tian then saw Zhong Meixian.

Upon seeing Zhong Meixian, Luo Tian walked up to her in a few steps. "Auntie, what brings you here?" As she spoke, she noticed the things Zhong Meixian was carrying. These were the very things she had delivered to the Gu family yesterday, but now Zhong Meixian was carrying them back.

Luo Tian had a pretty good idea of ​​what Zhong Meixian had come for, but she didn't say it out loud. Instead, she smiled and invited her, "Auntie, come in and sit down."
