There are new things happening every day in the team. Just a few days ago, everyone was still discussing how Tang Momo was rescued by Gu Chengze, but these days, everyone’s topic has changed to Xu Xiaoyun. 

Xu Xiaoyun did a good deed. It is said that she saved the captain’s grandson. 

“Everyone says that Sister Xiaoyun survived a disaster and will have good fortune in the future. Some people even whisper that she is a fairy.” After Tang Yangyang finished speaking, she tilted her head and looked at Tang Momo, “Sister, are there really fairies?” 

Tang Momo reached out and flicked her forehead, “I’ve told you before, we can’t promote feudal superstitions. If you ask this kind of question again, be careful or I’ll serve you bamboo shoots stir-fried with meat.” 

Since two days ago, when Tang Momo had demonstrated to Tang Jianping what ‘bamboo shoots stir-fried with meat’ really meant, Tang Yangyang was no longer naive enough to think that her sister was going to fry meat for them. 

When Tang Momo mentioned the bamboo shoots stir-fry with meat, the little chatterbox Tang Yangyang finally quieted down. Only then did Tang Momo leisurely get up. “It’s time to make dinner. Who’s helping me with the fire tonight?” 

The two little ones both pointed their fingers at each other. Tang Momo couldn’t help but laugh. “Fine, let’s all do it together.” 

They lived in the backyard, and the kitchen was a stove they had built in the corner. Tang Momo recalled her little sister’s words and the events of the past few days. It was enough to prove that Xu Xiaoyun had been reborn. 

Everything happening now aligned with the novel. In about half a month, it would be time for Xu Xiaoyun to meet her match, which of course is Gu Chengze. 

If nothing unexpected happened, the two would get engaged shortly after meeting, and then get married a year later. 

Thinking of this, Tang Momo heavily put down the gourd ladle in her hand. No, it shouldn’t be like this. Gu Chengze should be matched with a better person, at least someone who is wholeheartedly devoted to him. 

“Sister, what’s wrong?” Tang Yangyang looked at the broken water scoop and the small piece that flew out and asked very carefully. 

Tang Momo came back to her senses and shook her head. “It’s nothing; keep the fire going.” 

In just a few seconds, Tang Momo made a decision quickly. She had to stop this. 

She was originally disgusted by Xu Xiaoyun’s behavior, not to mention that Gu Chengze was her savior. Just for that reason alone, she couldn’t watch him marry someone with bad intentions. 

Perhaps because she had made a decision in her heart, Tang Momo felt more at ease, and she even cooked dinner more efficiently. 

During dinner, Tang Momo announced that she would go to work tomorrow. Her decision was denied by Zhang Xiaoli and Tang Jianan. 

“It’s only been a short time. You should rest at home for two more days.” Zhang Xiaoli frowned and looked at her. She had finally gained some weight in the past two days. Wouldn’t it be lost soon if she went to work tomorrow? 

“Sister, Mother is right. I’m here so don’t worry.” Tang Jianan said with a grown-up expression on his face. 

“I’m really fine.” Besides, there were already some people outside that she was squeamish about; even the people in the front yard said so. 

What’s more, she wanted to get close to Gu Chengze soon. That way, when he and Xu Xiaoyun met, her opinions wouldn’t seem so sudden. 

Seeing Tang Momo’s determined face, the two knew that it was useless to persuade her, so they could only remind her that if she felt uncomfortable, she must speak up in time and not to push herself too hard.  

“Don’t worry, I understand that health is the foundation of revolution,” Tang Momo made a reassuring gesture towards them. 

“Since you have to go to work tomorrow, go to bed early.” 

“Wait, Mother, I have something to ask you.” Tang Momo stopped her when she’s about to leave. 

“What is it?” Zhang Xiaoli looked at Tang Momo in confusion. 

After Momo got into trouble this time, she became more transparent than before when she woke up, and she was not as stubborn as before, which made Zhang Xiaoli feel more at ease. 

“I want to ask about Father’s job. Even if you weren’t allowed to take his place, there’s still me. Why did the job go to Aunt?” Tang Momo felt this matter needed to be clarified. After all, jobs these days were considered a stable ‘iron rice bowl.’ 

The smile on Zhang Xiaoli’s lips became stiff because of Tang Momo’s words. She never thought that Tang Momo called her just for this matter. 

Seeing that all her children were staring at her, Zhang Xiaoli sorted out her emotions and said softly, “This is an adult matter, not something you children should care about.” 

Zhang Xiaoli lowered her eyes after speaking. Even at that time, she didn’t expect her in-laws to be so ruthless. Before Dajun’s funeral arrangements were even completed, Tang Xiaoxue had already gone to take his place at work. 

Zhang Xiaoli hadn’t remained silent about it, but she never imagined her in-laws would use Jianping to threaten her. At that time, Jianping and Yangyang were just over a year old. 

Her cousin from a neighboring house and his wife were unable to have children, and they were planning to adopt one from within the family. 

Tang Dajun had just passed away, and she had to raise four children alone. If her in-laws agreed to adopt, this matter would definitely be successful. If word got out, people would say her in-laws were acting in her best interest, and she would be seen as ungrateful. 

To protect her children, Zhang Xiaoli had no choice but to accept this unequal arrangement. 

Later, her sister-in-law even gave her ten yuan out of pity, saying that the job was rightfully the Tang family’s. Since Tang Dajun was gone, naturally, someone from the Tang family should take over. 

In their eyes, without Dajun, they were all outsiders. 

Seeing that Zhang Xiaoli didn’t want to say more, Tang Momo didn’t press further. Once she was done with everything, she would have to go to the city and get back what was rightfully theirs. “Alright, from now on, no one is allowed to bring this up. As long as our family is together, even if things are tough, it’s worth it.” At that time, Da Jun had just left, and the children were still young. Zhang Xiaoli was afraid that if they angered them, they might do something even more shameless. What’s more, the things left by Dajun would also allow them to survive.” 

The more Zhang Xiaoli avoided the topic, the more Tang Momo felt there was something fishy about it. However, since she wasn’t willing to talk, she would dig into it slowly. For now, her main concern was how to naturally get to know Gu Chengze better. 

This problem, which had troubled Tang Momo all night, was unexpectedly solved soon. 

Tang Momo ended up working in the same place as Gu Chengze. He was probably working in place of his grandmother, as all the other workers around were women. 

Seeing Gu Chengze standing there, Tang Momo couldn’t help but nod her head. As expected, he is over 1.8 meters tall. He exercises frequently in the army, so he should have eight-pack abs. 

Tang Momo touched her chin and felt that Gu Chengze must have eight-pack abs. 

Hearing the voice coming out of nowhere again, Gu Chengze was no longer as panicked as he was the previous two times. He glanced at the reactions of the crowd and confirmed again that he was the only one who heard the voice. 

He thought about it for a long time that day. Maybe it wasn’t a hallucination, but someone was really talking? 

As for the identity of the speaker, he couldn’t help but frown when he thought of this. One day, he would find out who was playing tricks with him. 

“What a coincidence, you are working here today too?” Tang Momo naturally didn’t want to waste such a good opportunity and soon took the initiative to walk to Gu Chengze. 

The girl tilted her head back, with a smile in her eyes and a small dimple at the corner of her lips. Gu Chengze raised the corner of his lips unconsciously. “Well, I came to work for my grandma today.” 

As soon as Gu Chengze’s words came out, the people around him began to praise her. Some aunts even pushed Tang Momo away and tried to get close to Gu Chengze. “Xiao Gu, since your grandmother didn’t come to work, is she arranging a match for you?” 

Tang Momo, who was pushed aside, was a little annoyed. She patted her head and said to herself, “I miscalculated. How could I forget that he is a king bachelor now?” 

Gu Chengze suddenly looked up and quickly focused on Tang Momo. The voice just now came from her. 

Seeing that she was hanging her head and not speaking, Gu Chengze wondered if the words were said in her mind? 

Gu Chengze forgot for a moment that he had just vowed to find the person. Now his mind was full of doubts, such as why he could hear Tang Momo’s thoughts and the eight-pack abs and king bachelor that she mentioned just now. His last name was Gu, not Wang. 

“Xiao Gu, how much allowance do you get every month in the army? It should be this number, right?” The aunt who spoke pointed two fingers. 

Tang Momo couldn’t help but snort when she heard it. These people are really funny. They’re already prying into someone’s income before he’s even their son-in-law. How shameless. 

Gu Chengze was amused by Tang Momo’s last words. He held back his laughter and looked at the people next to him with a serious face. “Aunt Yang, this is confidential and can only be disclosed to family members.” 

“Yang Zhihua, why are you asking about Xiao Gu’s allowance? Are you trying to arrange a match for your daughter?” Someone who enjoyed causing trouble jumped in. 

“Yang Zhihua really dares to dream. Her daughter is so dark and short; Xiao Gu wouldn’t look at her.” Someone next to them began to speak up for Gu Chengze and felt that Yang Zhihua had bad intentions. 

This angered Yang Zhihua, who quickly turned around to argue, and it seemed like a fight might break out. 

Today, they had to harvest this wheat field before they could get work points. Tang Momo didn’t want to work for nothing. When everyone was not paying attention, she pinched her throat and shouted, “The captain is here.” 

Everyone was originally watching the fun, but when they heard this, they quickly returned to their positions and started working. 

After working for a while, they didn’t see Jia Daguo’s figure. They realized that they had been fooled. Now everyone was united in hatred and wanted to find the person who had spoken earlier. 

Because she pinched her throat and Tang Momo’s usual image, no one suspected her. Just as she relaxed, Gu Chengze suddenly turned his head and glanced at her. 

Tang Momo was immediately startled. What does this mean? Does he know it was me? 

After confirming the owner of the voice, Gu Chengze was remained calm when he heard the voice again. This little girl is interesting. 

If Tang Momo knew that Gu Chengze called her a little girl, she would definitely be unhappy. He is just three years older than her original self. Why is he pretending to be so big and powerful? 

Gu Chengze found that he seemed to accept it too quickly. After all, it was such an incredible thing. But when his eyes fell on the person who was quite busy over there, he couldn’t help but chuckle. What bad intentions could she have? Even if there were, he could easily handle her. 

Because of this interruption, Tang Momo didn’t have the chance to get closer to Gu Chengze, which left her a bit disappointed. 

Fortunately, Tang Momo studied agriculture and frequently worked in the fields, so the task was not difficult for her. 

As she worked diligently, she heard someone nearby say, “Look, Xu Xiaoyun is here. I heard that she saved the captain’s grandson, so the work assigned to her these days is very easy.” 

“That’s right. If you ask me, this girl must be blessed after surviving such a disaster.” The conversation continued with the usual talk about surviving a disaster leading to future blessings. 

As they talked more and more mysteriously, Tang Momo couldn’t help but cough lightly, wanting to tell them that it was not as complicated as they thought. Xu Xiaoyun was just reborn, and had a protagonist’s halo. 

In just a moment, Xu Xiaoyun had come over. She was holding a basket in her hand, with a smile on her face. “It’s so hot today. I brought some water for everyone.” 

As expected, Xu Xiaoyun’s move was praised by everyone again. Facing so many compliments, Xu Xiaoyun didn’t hang her head shyly like before, but talked to everyone with a generous face. 

Tang Momo nodded secretly at the side. Compared with Xu Xiaoyun she had met a few days ago, it was clear that experience made a difference. Her words were pleasing to hear. 

While Xu Xiaoyun was talking to others, she also glanced at Gu Chengze from the corner of her eyes. He did not come over to drink water like the others. 

She lowered her eyes to hide the excitement in her eyes. She was back, she was really back. 

Tang Momo had also been paying attention to Gu Chengze. Seeing that he did not go to drink water, she prepared to give him the water that Jianan had stuffed into her in the morning. Just as Xu Xiaoyun was about to step forward, she saw Tang Momo approaching Gu Chengze. Her expression changed. Why is this short-lived Tang Momo still here?
