Gu Zhao: “…” My wife is right, his current physical condition is useless.

　　”Have you and Dad eaten lunch? If not, I’ll make some. What would you like to eat, husband?” Li Zhouzhou unloaded the bamboo basket and walked in, then he realized that Xing Ge’er was there. “I’m going home first.”

　　”Okay, I’m going back too.”

　　Xing Ge’er thought as he walked, Li Zhouzhou’s husband is handsome but expensive, and can’t do any heavy work. No matter how good he is to Li Zhouzhou, he can’t even lift a bamboo basket. He wouldn’t want him if he were given to him, and he only treats Li Zhouzhou as a treasure.

　　Gu Zhao noticed that Xing Ge’er was there, but he didn’t say hello. He felt sorry for his Zhou Zhou, who came back at this time and obviously didn’t have lunch. “Don’t bother. I cooked lunch at noon and Dad lit the fire. I don’t know how to light firewood.”

　　”There’s hot water in the pot. Wash it first. The rice is warm.”

　　Gu Zhao was busy getting hot water for his wife to wash up, and then he wrung out a hot towel and handed it to him, “Wipe it first.”

　　Li Zhouzhou wasn’t actually that tired. In fact, he was still sweating all over. But when he saw the look in his husband’s eyes that showed he felt sorry for him, he swallowed his words and wiped his face, then soaked his feet with the massage therapy provided by his husband.

　　By the time he finished soaking his feet, the meal was served.

　　A bowl of stir-fried pork and cabbage, hot steamed buns, and multi-grain porridge.

　　”I’m afraid your throat will be dry after walking back. Drink some hot porridge to warm your stomach first.” Gu Zhao said.

　　Li Zhouzhou had a steamed bun and a bowl of soy milk in the town in the morning. He was already hungry, so he didn’t say much and ate quickly. Gu Zhao poured him hot water for fear that Zhouzhou would choke.

　　After finally eating and drinking, Li Zhouzhou was about to clean up the dishes but was stopped by Gu Zhao.

　　”Zhou Zhou, you sit there and take a rest. I’ll do it. There are only a few dishes.” Gu Zhao went to wash the pots and bowls.

　　Li Zhouzhou did not sit down to rest, but followed his husband to the kitchen, where he sat in front of the stove in a trance. When Gu Zhao finished washing, he boiled some hot water to make a pot of red date water, and then he looked down to find his Zhouzhou, only to see his Zhouzhou wiping tears behind his back.

　　What’s going on?

　　”Have you been bullied? Have you been wronged?” Gu Zhao had never seen Zhou Zhou cry.

　　It was on the wedding night. He was a little unfamiliar with the hands for the first time. He went in clumsily and hurt Zhou Zhou. Zhou Zhou didn’t cry, but touched his head to comfort him.

　　Li Zhouzhou quickly wiped his tears and pretended nothing happened.

　　Gu Zhao was rarely serious, and said, “We are husband and wife. Zhou Zhou, if you have any unhappiness, you should tell me. If you don’t tell me and keep it in your heart, I feel uncomfortable and want to cry.”

　　”Zhou Zhou, wife, can you tell me? What’s wrong?”

　　Li Zhouzhou lowered his head and said self-reproachfully, “My husband, our family doesn’t have enough money to support you to study in the private school in town…”

　　”I can’t leave Dad alone in the village without help.”

　　Gu Zhao thought it was some big deal, but when he heard it was this, he didn’t laugh. He was just filled with sadness and endless heartache, all for Zhou Zhou.

　　Zhou Zhou was full of sincerity and devoted to him wholeheartedly.

　　”I know.” Gu Zhao reached out and wiped away the tears on Zhou Zhou’s face, and told him his plan, “I guessed that the family situation was tight, so I never thought about going to town to study, and I couldn’t bear to be separated from you.”

　　”In the past month, I have excerpted my previous notes. I plan to take some things to Dongping Village to see the teacher during the New Year to ask him about the things I don’t understand. If all else fails, there is Zhu Xiucai in Shili Village. I will shamelessly make two more trips and save the things I don’t understand. I will learn them slowly. Don’t you think I’m stupid—”

　　Li Zhouzhou immediately said, “My husband is not stupid.”

　　”Okay, the scholar takes the exam twice every three years. I passed it last year, so I have missed this year. The next one will be next year, but I don’t plan to take it. I want to study more and try it next time.” Gu Zhao explained his plan.

　　If he had known Zhou Zhou would worry so much about him, he should have told him earlier.

　　This made Zhou Zhou cry.

　　Li Zhouzhou only then realized his husband’s plan. He felt a little embarrassed and even cried about it.

　　That night, they washed up and went to bed early. The oil lamp was still on. Gu Zhao reached out to unbutton Zhou Zhou’s clothes, leaned over, his eyes full of heat, and carefully traced Zhou Zhou’s eyebrows and eyes, kissing them one by one.

　　Li Zhouzhou was shy and said oil lamp.

　　”I want to look at you.”

　　Li Zhouzhou suppressed his shyness, wrapped his bare arms around his husband’s neck, and crossed his legs under the quilt.

　　This time the fight was a bit long and fierce. In the end, Li Zhouzhou couldn’t help but bite the quilt and sob softly, but it wasn’t because of the pain…
