"How did I get back to bed?" Zuo Li shook his sleepy head and stopped worrying about the matter.
After going downstairs, she called Aunt Liu.
Aunt Liu came from the corridor and smiled at her: "Madam, are you awake? I have made my wife's favorite dishes, including chicken soup and red dates and white fungus soup. They are still hot. Do you want to eat now?"
Zuo Li looked at Aunt Liu strangely. At this time, Aunt Liu was standing with her hands in front of her and her body leaning forward slightly. Her whole person showed respect and humility.
"Aunt Liu, what's wrong with you?" Zuo Li actually wanted to ask her if she was ill.
Aunt Liu's face was distorted for a moment, and then she smiled: "Madam, you are joking, I should do that."
Suddenly an idea flashed through Zuo Li's mind. Aunt Liu was probably acting like this because Gu Feichen was back.
She was not interested in talking to her anymore, and just waved her hand and said: "You can put the food on the table first. I'll go to the back hall to wash up first and ask someone to prepare hot water. I'll take a shower today."
When Zuo Li entered the backyard through the back door, he remembered that he had forgotten to ask Aunt Liu where Gu Feichen had gone.
"She must have gone out. After all, she is the director of the factory and is very busy."
There are two rows of red tile houses across the backyard, which are places for washing.
In the past half month, Zuo Li still put a lot of effort into it.
Nowadays, in this third-tier city, various facilities have not kept up with the times, especially in this Gu's small building, which does not even have gas, let alone a shower.
For her enjoyment, she had someone use cement to build a large water storage tank with a height of 2.2 meters on the wall, leaving many dense holes at the bottom. When taking a bath, she would first pour the warm water from the outside pipe.
In this large water storage tank, the water will pour on the body along these small holes.
Get a bell, and when there is no water, let someone outside fill it up. It is not as convenient as a shower, but it is still convenient. As for the bathtub, it is already there.
In short, Zuo Li was not willing to wrong himself under certain conditions.
She entered the tiled bathroom and began to hum a bath song and take off her clothes.
As a result, as soon as I walked into the inner room where the bathtub and shower were located, I was stunned.
She saw Gu Feichen lying in the bathtub, his eyes that were originally closed were opened, his face was flushed with moist red in the hot air, and from her angle, she could still see the broad shoulders of the other person.
, collarbone, Adam's apple, and the exposed chest covered with various old scars.
At this embarrassing moment of social death, Zuo Li was even thinking that he heard that Gu Feichen had just retired before coming to Sunshine City, so he thought that these scars were all caused by his time in the army.
Also, the muscles on the chest and arms are not exaggerated and look very strong, which I didn't notice when I was wearing clothes before.
Typically, you will look thin when you are wearing clothes, but you will look fat when you are undressing.
Gu Feichen also didn't expect that Zuo Li would barge in while he was taking a shower.
Moreover, the other party did not run away in panic at the first moment, but stood at the door in a daze.
Especially since she had taken off her sweater and half-length skirt, and she was still wearing close-fitting long johns. These long johns were made of silk and were very thin, and could not hide her perfect figure at all.
Gu Feichen's pupils became much darker, and the temperature on his face seemed to rise a little.
"Huh?" His Adam's apple rolled and he asked in confusion.
"Oops!" Zuo Li woke up with a start, turned around quickly, looked down at the autumn clothes and long trousers left on her body, and was glad that she didn't take them off too quickly, "Um, Mr. Gu, I didn't know you were taking a shower, I'll leave first.
Yes, you wash first."
With that said, he quickly put on his clothes and then staggered out of the bathroom.
He kept muttering: "It's life-threatening, it's really life-threatening!"
She slapped her face, and when she saw two aunts walking down the corridor carrying water, she regained her composure and turned into another bathroom.
···
When Zuo Li finished washing up and finished dinner, she didn't see Gu Feichen, which made her sigh in relief.
After all, the embarrassing scene happened not long ago, and Zuo Li didn't want to be silent with him just yet.
Because she took a nap in the afternoon, Zuo Li didn't fall asleep at night, so she ran to the yard to play on the swing.
There are no mosquitoes at night in autumn, it is neither cold nor hot, and it is very comfortable.
After a while, she heard the sound of brakes.
The performance of the cars of this era was not as good as that of later generations, and the "buzzing" sound of the brakes was loud and harsh.
It was only then that Zuo Li realized belatedly that he had not seen Gu Feichen before because he had gone out.
She stood up and wanted to hide in, but thinking about their relationship as husband and wife, she was afraid that there would be no place to hide at all.
She murmured in her heart: "As a modern woman, can I still be pretentious? Besides, it's not a big deal. He's my man. It's not a big deal if I glanced at him. This is legal, even if I do it again.
Excessive things are also legal!'
After Zuo Li prepared herself mentally, she went to the entrance of the courtyard, ready to welcome some of her husbands.
A tall and thin man got out of the car first. Because it was dark, Zuo Li couldn't see his face clearly, so he stepped forward and said, "Mr. Gu, welcome home."
"······"
Before waiting for an answer, Zuo Li felt a little embarrassed and subconsciously started picking at her sandals with her toes.
Inexplicably, I felt a bit like a receptionist at this moment.
"laugh."
Before Zuo Li could say anything to show his respect, he heard a sneer.
"You are our stepmother. Well, I should call you Aunt Zuo, right?" The person who got off the car came out of the darkness. He was a young man with delicate features. His voice was in the stage of changing, and it looked hoarse, but it was not
Ugly.
His brows are gentle, and there is a small black mole under the corner of his eye, which adds a touch of narrowness to his gentleness. He is a young man who can make people get close to him subconsciously.
Zuo Li:???
what's the situation?
Before Zuo Li's mind could turn around, two more teenagers stepped out of the car. Their faces were very similar to those of the previous teenagers.
One of them was wearing a black leather jacket and a scarf around his neck. His skin was almost transparent white and his face was cold. He looked at Zuo Li coldly, his eyes were like knives. When he raised his eyelids, he could be seen.
The indifference and irony in his eyes.
The other one only wore a thin coat, and the silver earrings on his left ear shone slightly in the dim light of the courtyard. He was obviously smiling at this moment, but it made Zuo Li feel like he was being targeted by a poisonous snake: "
Second brother, you are wrong. How can you call me aunty? She looks like she is no more than two years older than us. The old man is like an old cow eating young grass. You think so, little stepmother!"
"Third brother, restrain yourself." Gu Jixing, the boy in vest who was the first to get out of the car, reprimanded in a soft voice, but without any anger.
"Second brother, why are you so anxious? Our little stepmother hasn't spoken yet. Little stepmother, you won't be angry with me, will you?" Gu Suiyang raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of unruly and unruly.
Zuo Li was worried. She hadn't yet realized the identities of the three young men in front of her, so they were the real fools.
The first one to appear was Gu Jixing, who ranked second.
The person with a malicious smile and the one who jokingly called her stepmother was the third child, Gu Suiyang.
As for the person with a cold face and no words, only exuding coldness, it is the boss Gu Yuanzheng.
Because she understood their identities, she felt a chill all over her body.
The three villains appeared in front of her like this, and she had foolishly mistaken them for Gu Feichen before.
Zuo Li really felt that she had not committed as many stupid things in her previous life as she did today.
"Well, of course I'm not angry. Do you, uh, want to go in? By the way, isn't Beibei back?"
Zuo Li stuttered in reply and got out of the way at a loss.
Gu Jixing raised his eyebrows and looked at the stepmother in front of him. She seemed to be afraid of them. Was it because the boss's cold face scared her, or was it because she didn't adapt to the joke just made by the third child.
Well, so far, this little stepmother who brought daddy to earth doesn't have any bright spots.
