In this way, when my father and husband get up, the porridge is hot and the eggs are cooked. They can use the hot water from the boiled eggs to wash their faces.

　　After doing all this, wipe your hands, and start pinching the dough and rolling it into pancakes.

　　A pot was set up on the stove in front, and a thin layer of lard was brushed on it. Not too much because the weather was cold, and if too much lard was applied, the pancakes would become greasy and not tasty when they got cold. Then, round pancakes the size of a palm were put on it and started to be baked over low heat.

　　Li Zhouzhou does this all year round and just turns it over by hand.

　　On the kang in the room, Gu Zhao woke up and touched the place next to him. It was his clothes, neatly folded and still warm. His heart softened.

　　From childhood to adulthood, Gu Zhao, an orphan, has never been treated like this by anyone.

　　Li Zhouzhou is such a good person, how could his original self be such a bastard in his previous life.

　　After scolding Gu Zhao, Gu Zhao got up refreshed. When he went out, it was still dimly light. It was the autumn of November, so it was probably a little after six o’clock.

　　”Is it hot?” Gu Zhao entered the kitchen and saw Zhou Zhou flipping the pancake in the pan.

　　Li Zhouzhou was startled by the voice behind him. When he saw it was his husband, he relaxed and said, “It’s not hot.” He turned over the pancakes one by one in his hand and said, “Husband, why don’t you sleep a little longer? Wait a minute, the eggs in the pot at the back are almost cooked, and the hot water is ready.”

　　After flipping the pancake and wiping his hands, Li Zhouzhou went to the stove at the back, and his husband held his hand.

　　”Husband?”

　　Gu Zhao touched it and saw that Zhou Zhou’s fingers were red. “You said it wasn’t hot, but it’s all red.”

　　”I’m used to it.” Li Zhouzhou didn’t feel the heat. It was nothing.

　　When Gu Zhao heard this, he lowered his head and looked at Zhou Zhou’s fingertips, then looked up at Zhou Zhou again, attacking him with a pair of pitiful eyes, and said softly, “It hurts.”

　　Li Zhouzhou’s fingertips suddenly felt numb and he didn’t know where to put his hands and feet.

　　When his husband looked at him like that, he felt so pitiful and he was at a loss what to do.

　　”I, I understand. My husband, I won’t do that again in the future.” Li Zhouzhou promised.

　　Gu Zhao hummed, still maintaining his state, selling some tea art and said: “I believe Zhou Zhou.”

　　Li Zhouzhou’s ears immediately turned red with shame. His fingertips felt numb from being touched by his husband. His heart felt hot. He pulled his hand away and hurried to get back to work. Gu Zhao lent a hand beside him, holding a wooden basin for washing. He smiled and looked at Zhouzhou sideways as he carried the iron pot and filled it with hot water.

　　”I’ll bring it to Dad.” said Gu Zhao.

　　Li Zhouzhou’s earlobes were burning red from her husband’s gaze. He didn’t dare to look up and said, “Okay.”

　　Gu Zhao carried the wooden basin filled with hot water out of the kitchen, his original pitiful look turned into a smile in his eyes.

　　Pretending to be pitiful is still useful.

　　Zhou Zhou just fell for his tricks.

　　Gu Zhao went to the Li family’s house for the first time half a month ago. He saw Li Zhouzhou fall in love with him at first sight. How could Li Zhouzhou feel the same way towards Gu Zhao?

　　Li Zhouzhou is a boy, who is despised and humiliated by the villagers for his appearance. His aesthetic taste is biased, and they don’t like himself, thinking that he is too masculine. When it comes to finding a son-in-law, thinking that his father has already paid for it, of course he has to find someone who suits his heart. The most important thing is that Li Zhouzhou is holding back his anger, so he has to find a “good” one.

　　As for how good this is, how is it good?

　　Li Zhouzhou had no idea at first, he just thought that even if he didn’t get married, he didn’t want to attract people who looked down on him and had bad intentions. Even if they laughed at him, his father would not be able to hold his head high.

　　But when he saw Gu Zhao for the first time, Li Zhouzhou thought, this guy is so handsome, even better looking than a brother.

　　That’s what he wanted to grow up to be.

　　Of course Gu Zhao knew that Zhou Zhou liked his face. The first time he used his face to act pitiful was on the wedding night. Zhou Zhou was obviously nervous and sat stiffly, but he said he wanted to perform the rituals of husband and wife, and seemed to be in a dominant position.

　　In fact, Zhou Zhou was also afraid.

　　Gu Zhao saw through it and immediately acted pitiful and cute, and the tense atmosphere instantly dissipated.

　　Once there is a first, there will be a second. Later, Gu Zhao became more skilled in using it.

　　The fun between husband and wife.

　　Why bother with face? As long as his Zhou Zhou likes it, that’s enough.
