Chapter 54 Division of Labor and Cooperation

After Xu Muchian came back from the street, the things they bought were delivered to their home one after another.

The kitchen is full of firewood, rice, oil and salt alone.

She also put the newly bought quilt outside to dry, so that it would be more comfortable and smell like the sun when she slept at night.

After she put all the things at home away, the first thing she did was to return the things she borrowed yesterday to Aunt Yang's house.

She filled two kilograms of flour from the noodle vat, and took two eggs and a pack of snacks she just bought from the street as a thank you gift.

After all, ‘money is easy to borrow, but favor is hard to return’!

As soon as she arrived at the gate of the Yang family's courtyard, she heard the emotional sound of a woman reciting poetry from inside.

‘Guan Guan Jiujiu, in the river island. A graceful lady, a gentleman is fond of quarrel...’

"If there are flowers, you must break them off. Don't wait until there are no flowers."

Xu Muqian stood at the door and listened for a while, thinking that the woman who was reading this poem must have someone she liked, otherwise why would she say such a suggestive poem.

Just as she was about to go up and knock on the door, she heard a man scolding, "If you don't mind it, why don't you go in the house!"

It seems to be the family of the woman who just read the poem.

She waited two minutes before knocking on the door to avoid embarrassment.

When the time comes for her to go in here, and people over there find that her conversation has been overheard by others, it will be a social death scene.

The person who opened the door was a man slightly older than her. From the looks of it, he should be Aunt Yang's eldest son, named Yang Chi!

I heard that he served as a sergeant in the Liaoning Guard and rarely went home.

This time it was a coincidence that Xu Muzhen bumped into her directly. Seeing the man's confused expression, she quickly said, "I'm here to see Aunt Yang. Is she at home?"

Only then did Yang Chi put aside his doubts. He thought he had heard that he was back again and wanted to give him a gift so that he could help introduce him to the guard station as a sergeant.

It seems that he has overthought it. He has been a sergeant for several years. I don’t know how many people have come to him for help.

However, it is so easy to enter the guard station and become a sergeant!

Back then, he begged many people before he could reluctantly enter the guard station and become the lowest soldier.

He said apologetically, "My mother is at home, wait a minute and I will shout for you!"

"Then thank you!" Xu Muzhen didn't look at him, only looking at the ground with her eyelids slightly lowered.

Yang Chi turned around and went in, and soon Aunt Yang came out of the kitchen.

She looked at Xu Muchian standing at the door and said, "Miss Gu Sanni, why are you standing at the door? Come in quickly!"

"No, Auntie, I won't go in because I have something to do at home. These are for you..." Xu Muchian handed the package in his hand to Auntie Yang.

After Aunt Yang took it, she opened it and looked at it, and found that it turned out to be flour and eggs.

She borrowed these from her family yesterday and returned them in just one day.

"You just bought it and returned it. Do you have enough at home? Why don't you wait!" Aunt Yang said and handed the package to Xu Muchian to take it back.

The flour she borrowed yesterday was not that much, it was only one pound.

But this time I got two more kilograms back, and even gave me some extra snacks.

"Take it, I bought all these things, and I have enough at home." Xu Mu said with a smile.

"Then I'll take it." Aunt Yang took the things back after being polite.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a few more words, and then Xu Maqian went home.

The day passed quickly, the sun was setting in the west, and the sky was filled with sunset glow!

Gu Huaijin sent away several masters who were repairing the house, closed the door and walked towards Wang's house.

It was getting dark soon, and their work had to end early, otherwise they wouldn't be able to do anything even after dark.

Today was another busy day at their house. The husband and wife divided the work and worked together, and they did a pretty good job.

Xu Muzhen was responsible for the purchase of food, clothing, housing and transportation for the family. Gu Huaijin first went through the procedures for the family's share with Yu Shihu.

Another day was spent with them helping to repair other damaged areas in the house.

When Gu Huaijin returned home, Xu Maqian was boiling water. She had prepared the meal in advance and put it there waiting for the man of the house to return.

Looking at the graceful lady sitting in front of the stove, Gu Huaijin's heart arose again.

When Xu Muzhen saw him coming back, she smiled and said, "Wash your hands and get ready to eat."

"Yeah! Got it!"

He walked behind Xu Muzhen, hugged her waist, and said softly, "Madam, I miss you~~! Can you..."

"cannot!"

Xu Maqian was still a little resistant to his embrace, but she didn't expect this guy to ask directly.

This caused her shyness to explode and she stood up immediately.

But because he couldn't control his strength, he knocked the person aside.

Gu Huaijin sat on the ground with his buttocks crouched down. He was holding his buttocks and groaning after falling. It looked like he had fallen hard!

Xu Muzhen was startled. She hurriedly tried to help the person up when she heard Gu Huaijin say, "Madam, I'm fine. I'm still fine. I can do it even at night..."

He is a man and cannot say no, let alone leave a bad impression on his wife.

"Ha!" Xu Muchian was speechless. There was really nothing this stinky gangster could do against him.

It’s been like this, why don’t you give up!

"Madam~!" Gu Huaijin tugged on her sleeve with one hand, speaking softly with a bit of coquettishness.

"Don't even think about it until you're healthy, huh!" Xu Muchian stretched out her hand to help the person up.

"Ah! It's not working yet! I have to hold it in..." Before he finished speaking, Gu Huaijin seemed to suddenly remember something. He stood up and said, "Really? Really? Wait in a few days."

I’m fine, is it really okay?”

"Oh! Are you ashamed?" Xu Muzhen gently twisted him with her hands, glared at him and walked out of the kitchen.

"Hehe...no shame, no shame!"

What's there to be ashamed of? Gu Huaijin felt like she was going crazy with joy!

After several people had dinner, Xu Maqian took the hot water from the pot into the house and poured it into the bath bucket. She wanted to take a good bath today.

It's been a long time, and she hasn't had a good hot bath for a long time.

On the way to exile, they were not allowed to take a bath, let alone a hot bath.

In the past, when Xu Muzhen asked them to collect firewood, she would find a place with a water source and secretly wipe it with a hand towel!

Fortunately, she wiped it secretly, otherwise Xu Muzhen really felt that she would stink and get bugs.

On their way to exile, some of them had never taken a bath. The smell of sweat was so strong that it could kill someone. Even three miles away from him, one could smell the sour and heady smell.
