On the second day, that night, the old Nie family knew about Liu Yan and Nie Qianqian's purchase of a bullock cart.
After finishing the meal, Mrs. Nie's face was as black as a pot. No one else in the Nie family dared to speak, but they were all muttering in their hearts, how could the Liu Yan family buy a bullock cart?
Old Mrs. Nie's triangular eyes flashed white at Nie Erzhuang from time to time, which was all caused by his careless son.
"Da Qiang, Er Zhuang, I met Wen Ye today. Wen Ye wants to buy some test questions from the library and needs a couple of silver. You guys go to the town to do more odd jobs in the next few days. If you collect enough money, Da Qiang can quickly give it to Wen Ye." Send it, don’t delay your studies.”
Seeing that Mrs. Nie was in a bad mood, Liu Chunhua flattered her and coaxed her, "Mother loves her grandchildren. When I get a degree in literary studies, my first priority is to be filial to my mother."
Mrs. Nie's face softened slightly, "You need to say that if you pass the literary examination next autumn, you will be a master of civil affairs. If you go to Beijing to take the examination and obtain the title of Jinshi, you will become a high official in the capital. Then we will be a family of officials. You must be short-sighted. When you see Liu Yan buying a bullock cart, you are worried about it. In the future, our family will move to the capital and we will be rich and wealthy. What about them? They will just throw food in the fields for the rest of their lives."
Liu Chunhua smiled and said: "That's right, that's right, what kind of family they are, how can they compare with our family."
Mrs. Nie's tense expression relaxed after hearing this. It was a good thing for the two of them to leave home, as they would benefit from the literary industry in the future.
At the old house, Liu Yan did not cook, but heated up a pot and heated up the food packed back from Guangjuxuan at noon for dinner.
During the meal, Nie Qianqian mentioned her visit to Jishitang in the afternoon, "Because I saved the county magistrate and went to Jishitang to sell Ganoderma lucidum, the county magistrate was kind-hearted and got in touch with me and asked me to go to Jishitang to make some medicine." Tong, you can learn medical skills and get some monthly wages."
Liu Yan was filled with joy. She had heard of Ji Shitang's name before, "This county magistrate is really a kind man, a good official who treats the people well. Qianqian went to learn medical skills, and he has the ability to do it."
Gu Xiao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, feeling that something was fishy.
However, this kind of thing that didn't seem to be normal was something he had become accustomed to these days.
After eating, Nie Qianqian proposed to use the newly purchased bathtub to give Tuantuan a bath.
Hearing this, Tuantuan's little face turned red, and he twisted his clothes in embarrassment.
Gu Xiao: "Let me give him a bath."
Nie Qianqian: "Then let's go together."
After boiling the water, he poured the warm water into the tub. Tuantuan felt shy but more joyful: Mom was going to give him a bath, hehe.
Tuantuan sat on the kang and took off her little clothes, turning into a naked dumpling. Nie Qianqian was about to hug Tuantuan when she saw the little boy... and suddenly became shy.
Well, I don't blame her. She never gave birth to a baby in her previous life, so she doesn't have any knowledge.
Gu Xiao looked at her appearance, shook his head, suppressed a smile, picked up Tuantuan and put it into a wooden bucket, dipped the soap locust in a towel and wiped it.
Tuantuan sat in the wooden barrel, and the hot water spread over his small chest. It was warm and very comfortable. Tuantuan was so happy that she stared at her little feet and stretched out her little arms to play with the water.
Nie Qianqian took out the small clay pot that she had prepared long ago, which contained the body wash she would use on weekdays. She poured the body wash into the wooden bucket, "I came across this when I went to the market in town today. , said it was for bathing, I smelled it good, so I bought it."
The bath liquid dripped into the wooden barrel, and instantly, a fresh jasmine fragrance floated out.
Tuan Tuan took a deep breath and said, "Mom, it smells so good."
Gu Xiao smelled the fragrance and glanced at Nie Qianqian. He had smelled this fragrance on Nie Qianqian during the day. He had never seen anything like this in the capital. He remained silent and continued to rub his body.
Tuan Tuan played with the water, and after a while, bubbles appeared in the tub. Tuan Tuan held up the bubbles in novelty, giggling.
He felt that he was the happiest baby in the village. It turned out that when he was at Lao Nie's house, his father and mother didn't talk much. Now that he came to the old house, his father and mother would give him a bath together, and everything was different.
What Mom said about "harmony and separation" is really good. You should do more reconciliation and separation.
Nie Qianqian's mood improved along with Tuantuan, and she realized the joy of raising a baby. She sang softly in Tuantuan's ears, "I love taking a bath, my body is covered with bubbles, oh oh oh~~ I love taking a bath, my skin is good, oh oh Oh~~"
Tuan Tuan followed and shook their little heads, "Mom sings so beautifully."
He held Nie Qianqian's hand with his left hand, and took Gu Xiao's hand with his right hand, folding their hands together and smiling.
The hands of the two touched each other, and their skin touched each other. They looked at each other under the mist, and both retracted their fingers awkwardly.
Nie Qianqian's face was a little red from the steam, and she cursed in her heart, "Nie Qianqian, why are you so shy? Don't act like a teenage girl, bitching like a girl."
Her actual mental age is over 30 years old, and she is very disdainful of her coy and shy little girl behavior.
However, she herself ignored it. Although she was over 30, she had very little experience in actual love.
She traveled back in time and found out that she had a cheap husband and a child together, so she regarded Gu Xiao as a teammate to live together with. Facing her teammates, she was shy.
Gu Xiao remained calm and continued to wipe his body.
Tuantuan pouted, thinking that his father had rubbed his shoulder several times, and it was almost scratched.
Gu Xiao thought about the touch just now, and found that his feelings for Nie Qianqian were a little different.
It must be because she has changed a lot recently that his feelings for her have changed.
Or maybe because she was so good to Tuan Tuan, he was a little in love with her.
His relationship with Nie Qianqian was a bit complicated. Before coming to the old house, the two of them had barely spoken to each other. She was just like a stranger to him.
The education he received when he was young was that men and women did not sit together, used different shackles, had different turbans, and were not taught in person.
But they are not really strangers, they are actually married...
Gu Xiao was upset and suddenly didn't know how to treat Nie Qianqian or how to get along with her.
Tuantuan pointed to her red shoulder with some grievance, "Dad, it's almost scratched here."
Gu Xiao's chaotic thoughts were interrupted by Tuantuan's words. Seeing Tuantuan's grievance, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Nie Qianqian looked at Gu Xiao's slightly embarrassed expression, and then looked at his small mouth that shrank like a little duck, and burst into laughter. The laughter was as sweet as a silver bell.
Tuantuan didn't know what his mother was laughing at, but she smiled, and he was happy and giggling. Finally, there was Gu Xiao, who was infected by the laughter of the two mothers, and the corners of his mouth raised, showing a smile.
Liu Yan listened to the laughter of the three people in the back room and felt comforted in her heart. The young couple didn't say anything before, but now they can be so happy after giving Tuan Tuan a bath. It's great. The happiness of her children and grandchildren is her biggest Happiness.
