Chapter 28 Repairing The House (1)
Zhou Ying knew she couldn’t avoid it, so she asked, “Then how many people’s meals do we need to take care of?”
“There are ten people in total, four carpenters and six handymen. They don’t need anything complicated. Some steamed buns or flatbread and a big pot of vegetables would be enough.
“As for the pot, we’ll go to town tomorrow morning to buy a big one. We’ll be able to use it in the future anyway.”
Zhou Ying nodded and told him about Gu Chengxi’s visit.
Gu Chengrui nodded at her, too, letting her know that he understood.
After entering her interspace that night, Gu Chengrui gave himself two more IV bottles just in case.
At dawn, Zhou Ying was once again awoken by the disaster in her dream. This feeling of being overwhelmed by her dreams didn’t give her a good feeling.
She turned around, picked up the glass of water on the bedside table, and gulped it down in one go. Only when the cool water entered her stomach did she really wake up.
Her moving about in bed woke up Gu Chengrui too. He did not know what to say after knowing that she had had the same dream again. He could only hold her in his arms and silently accompany her to calm her emotions.
“Let’s move out after tonight,” he said. “Let’s see whether you would still have this dream after we leave the Mother God Temple.”
Zhou Ying was stunned for a moment and finally nodded. The only change in her habit was staying in this Mother God Temple. Perhaps it was because of the location that she had constant bad dreams.
But if it was really because of this location, could it mean that those disasters would really happen? contemporary romance
Gu Chengrui saw that she was deep in thought and gently patted her back. “We need to be strong as forged iron. No matter what the future holds, we must be in an advantageous?position similar to our previous lives as soon as possible.”
Zhou Ying nodded in agreement. Then, the two got up and began to exercise.
When it was almost time, the two of them ate their breakfast in the interspace.
After breakfast, the two packed everything up to prepare to move into their new home. Then, they hurried to town.
First, they bought a huge pot, ten sets of bowls and chopsticks, five pounds of pork belly, and ten pounds of tofu.
On her way back, while there was no one nearby, Zhou Ying took 20 pounds of black noodles and 5 pounds of peanut oil from her interspace.
When they went to their new home, Qian Jiaxi had already brought his men to fix the roof.
Gu Chengrui stepped forward and greeted them politely. Then, he went to the backyard to find an open space in the vegetable field and set up two simple stoves for Zhou Ying, one big and one small.
Then, he took a bucket of water from the well in the village and went to the front to help.
After Zhou Ying had prepped the big pot, she heated two pounds of peanut oil using their small pot and began deep frying the ten pounds of tofu.
Just as she finished, Qian Jiaxi’s wife, Mrs. Bai, came over with two basins and said, “Good Morning, Zhou. You’re hardworking, already this busy early in the morning.”
“Morning, Missus. I started early because I feared it would take a long time to prepare the meals.”
“I thought so, so here I am.” After Mrs. Bai finished speaking, she placed the two basins she had brought on the ground and said, “Girl, what are you planning to cook for lunch?”
“I was just about to ask Mr. Jiaxi. I planned to go to the field and pick a few cabbages, then stir fry the meat slices with stewed cabbages and tofu. They would go well with a few large baked flatbreads.”
“What’s there to ask about? Just pick them and eat.” When Mrs. Bai said this, she saw the large strip of streaky pork on the side and said, “I got to say, girl, you’re sure generous to buy so much meat.”
“Once everyone is content with the meal, only then will they have the energy to fix our house as soon as possible.”
“That’s true.”
When Mrs. Bai heard her say this, she didn’t say anything more. She was quite satisfied with her honesty.
Unlike some of the Gu families, they deducted their family’s meals until they were worse off than the villagers when they were in trouble.
